Chapter 146 Premier League manager Remy Gard's commitment
Birmingham is the second largest city in the United Kingdom. Apart from its world-famous industry, it also has a resounding title of "European Sports City".

In its heyday, there used to be three Premier League clubs here at the same time, namely Aston Villa, Birmingham and West Bromwich Albion.

Regrettably, Birmingham are currently struggling in the Championship.

At present, it seems that the situation of the Villa team is not good. Since the 2015-2016 season, the ranking has been falling all the way and has been hovering in the relegation zone.

It was under such a background that the Frenchman Gard, who was a former Arsenal player and former head coach of the Ligue [-] team Lyon, was ordered to replace the former coach Sherwood, who had a dismal record, to take charge of Villa.

Gard, who is currently serving as a firefighter, feels tremendous pressure.

从去年11月初他接手球队以来，令人难堪的是9场英超比赛维拉队只得到了4分战绩4平5负。

Adams came to Birmingham, according to his appointment with Gard when he just returned to China, the two will meet today.

He came to Gard's office, and the two embraced warmly as soon as they met. After all, they were old teammates many years ago and they won the Premier League championship side by side until the 19961997-[-] season. Needless to say, their feelings.

Adams looked at Gard with a haggard face and sighed: "Remy, you shouldn't have chosen to come to Villa.

Look at your lineup, look at the club's budget, it doesn't matter who you replace! "

Gard shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But this is a Premier League job after all!

By the way Tony, did you bring that Chinese genius?
Is he really that good?

If he has the ability to score 10 goals and send 5 assists in a season, I will try my best to persuade the club to try the special talent clause and help him apply for a labor permit. I hope he can help us! "

Adams replied with a smile: "Maybe one day he will come to the Premier League, but certainly not now.

He doesn't have any professional league background yet, so he definitely can't meet your standards, let alone pass the application.

I'm so sorry, Remy.

——I came to tell you in person, thank you very much for your invitation, but for some reason I may not come to Vera.

Hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future. "

Gard leaned back, rubbing his eyes vigorously with his hands——

Recently, he has been staying up all night watching game videos, and he is already extremely tired.

He stood up and said, "It's okay, Tony.

Frankly speaking, the current Villa is not suitable for you.

Really, as an old friend, I would be very guilty if I put you through this kind of suffering. "

Adams was very moved, and stood up and patted Gard on the shoulder vigorously to express his gratitude: "Remy, I still have something to ask for your help.

Still about this 'Lee'.

I know you had several good seasons at Lyon and that you have a very good personal relationship with their chairman, Mr. Aulas.

I want to ask you a favor, can you give 'Lee' a chance to try out in France? "

Gard looked at Adams——

The familiar Englishman in front of him had a very solemn expression, obviously not joking.

Gard became puzzled: "Tony, what's so special about this Chinese player?"

Adams told Gard that Li Liang will come to England next month to participate in the trial training of the New York City team: "Seriously, Remy, when the time comes, you go to Manchester to see his trial training, maybe then you will understand me. Why did you do that?"

Gard looked at the old captain Adams, and the other party was obviously more serious than what he saw.

He nodded and said: "Well, for the second half of the season we are away to Manchester City and Manchester United, in March and April respectively.

I just planned to go to Manchester to watch the game of these two teams in advance.

When the time comes, please notify me in advance, and I will definitely go to see Li! "

Leaving Gard's office, Adams took a ride to the railway station for his immediate return to London.

In order to allow Li Liang to get as many opportunities as possible, Adams has a very full schedule after his return, and he has to meet several heavyweights.

……

Thousands of kilometers away in Haicheng, which is eight time zones away, Li Liang has already fallen asleep.

Right now, he has gone through 9 nights of special training in "Spoken English Listening and Speaking"——

This is actually equivalent to 15 times the time, which is about 135 days.

Coupled with the fixed two hours of "2-on-1" tutoring by professionals every day, as well as the non-stop help of "Gao Shen" Xiaoyu on WeChat, Li Liang has initially been able to complete the work without the help of Jijiu. Any scene that needs to communicate with NPCs.

The rapid progress in virtual training did not make Li Liang feel relieved. On the contrary, he became more and more worried.

……

On Thursday night, Li Liang went to bed much later than usual.

Before going to bed, he practiced repeatedly in front of the mirror for a long time, and finally he was convinced that his "homework" was thoroughly prepared.

——As soon as he saw Jiongjiu after falling asleep, Li Liang proposed that he hoped to start recruiting players again.

囧囧 said: "Now it is difficult for NPCs of any level to help you get new total rating rewards."

Li Liang replied: "That's not my purpose.

By the way, this time please don't tone down the ego and emotion of these trusted NPC players—"

囧囧: "These NPC players are all reproduced according to your imagination.

The so-called 'self-awareness' or 'emotion' are actually products of your subconscious mind, and it does not help their competitive level. "

Li Liang laughed: "I'm not worried about the competitive level of the new NPCs—

What I need is 'special' help.

Now my speaking practice here is like communicating with robots. It is as boring as eating paper. Those fixed scenes, fixed lines and fixed dialogue trigger conditions are really annoying!

Didn't you tell me that only playing against NPCs will help the actual combat level less and less?
So what's the point of me talking to a bunch of 'robots' every day like this?
It is very difficult for me to improve my oral English in a short time, so I hope the scene can become more complex!"

……

With the help of Jiongjiong, Li Liang got his wish.

When the remaining 23 players from the 19-man roster appeared in the virtual Camp Nou, Li Liang strode over.

He first introduced himself fluently.

He observed while talking, this time the super NPC rookies obviously understood Li Liang's meaning, but the reaction was obviously much more vivid, and what surprised him even more was that none of the 19 people disappeared!

Li Liang secretly cheered himself up, success or failure depends on it!
From Jiongjiong's point of view, his subconscious mind will "pollute" the self-awareness and emotions of these NPCs to a large extent, so the system tends to try its best to eliminate this "pollution".

But after being given a "cruel" lesson by Da Xiong with a smile at the University of Political Science and Law, Li Liang has become more and more convinced that if he wants to make a breakthrough, he must first break through the system's "purification" rules——

He first walked up to NPC Henry with his head held high: "Henry, I want you to join our team!"

To Li Liang's surprise, the NPC Henry stared into his eyes, and after more than ten seconds he said: "With all due respect, your current level is really unflattering.

And these teammates of yours are not as good as my friends when I was playing football on the street when I was a child! "

Even though he had been prepared for a long time, Li Liang was secretly excited.

——Very well, this must be a real guy who has been "polluted" by his own subconscious, even if it's just a virtual NPC!

In my impression, Henry is a proud and very competitive player.

It's geniuses who always have a strange temper, and Li Liang deeply agrees with this sentence.

He smiled and replied, "Mr. Henry..."
