road to victory

Chapter 19

Walking out of Theo's office, Fan Shang couldn't think of where to find a coach, so he simply went to discuss with Battiston.

"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news, which one to listen to first?" Vincent opened his mouth and said to Battistone
Battiston raised his head and shrugged, "Let's start with a good one."

"Mr. Teo agreed with us to increase the number of coaches, and gave us support from Topsy Dominique," Vincent paused, "The bad news is that the other two coaches have to be found by themselves, and they have to find someone with no liquidated damages." coach."

"It's not bad news, at least we can find it." Battiston said calmly.
"Okay, then do you have anyone to recommend?" Fan Shang asked, "It is best to play for Bordeaux recently, and now you want to come back. It would be even better if it was your teammate of the national team."

"Let me think about it, the one who played in Bordeaux should be a striker, right?"

"Yes, I hope he can take charge of shooting training and improve the shooting accuracy." Fan Shang expressed his hope

"Alan (Alan Giresser)

Together with Platini and Tigana, he is also known as the French Iron Triangle. He played for the Ligue 519 Bordeaux team in his player era and played [-] games. ) is the best, but he is now coaching in Toulouse," Battiston muttered, "The best striker in French history is Mr. Fontaine, but the old man can't be your assistant coach. "

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Fan Shang was a little impatient, "If you have no hope, don't talk about it. Let's just say that you can come, and you can come to be the U19 assistant coach. I have something to do in the afternoon. If you I can’t think of it, I’ll come back later.” “I know, I remembered, there’s a German, I’ve been teammates with him for a season, he’s a high-volume shooter, he retired in 93, and now he just got a coach We have been in touch this summer, but I don’t know if he has a job now.” Battistone rummaged in his drawer, then took out a notebook, and flipped through a few pages, “I found the phone , I'll call him right away."

The two walked into the club without saying a word.Fan Shang found all the candidates for this afternoon's competition,
Teams: Vincent vs Lamotte
Referees: Battiston, Laporte

"Hi, I'm Battiston, is this Klaus?" (Klaus Allofs

After waiting at the door for a while, a car stopped in front of Fan Shang.The window was rolled down, and the people in the car asked Fan Shang, "Hello, is this Mr. Fan Shang?"

"Okay, I'll just listen here." Fan Shang didn't expect Battiston to be so quick.

Battiston relayed Vincent's meaning.Allofs decided to discuss it with his wife and children, so he called the Battistones tonight.

"It's me, hello, you are Mr. Bernard Laporte (Bernard Laporte), right?" Fan Shang also asked (Bernard Laporte (Bernard Laporte) was the coach of the Bordeaux Bagle Rugby Club. 1999 - In 2007, he coached the French national football team for 8 years)
Fan Shang got into the car and drove into the club.Fan Shang directly brought Laporte to Battiston's office, introduced them to each other, and told Battiston what happened on Sunday, and then asked Laporte and Battiston to wait for him Go pick up Ramot who came to test his strength today.

"The Mr. Laporte we invited today is also a trial training for you. You should listen to his evaluation." Vincent gestured to Laporte with his eyes, and Laporte understood and was very pleased. In a short sentence, the strength is not bad, the speed is good, summarizing Lamott's advantages, and then talking about his shortcomings in 5 minutes, including not forgetting to lure Drogba and Distin to play rugby.Fortunately, the two big black guys knew almost nothing about rugby, and they thought they didn't understand Laporte's words, which made Laporte quite embarrassed.

"Hi, you keep your word. Are you eager to play football?" Fan Shang teased him

Although Drogba and Distin wanted to test each other a bit, they still decided to make a decision under Vincent's persuasion.Each of the two competed with Ramot in three events. As long as La Mote wins two of the total six games, La Mote wins, and if he falls below, he loses.

Fan Shang looked at his watch, it was already two o'clock, he had an appointment at 02:30, but he hadn't eaten yet, so he took a sandwich from the restaurant and walked towards the door, chewing on the sandwich and cursing the baguette too hard.

Participating players: Lamotte, Drogba, Distin

As expected, Lamotte did not break his promise, and waited at the gate of the club very early.

But Lamotte is still unconvinced and wants to continue playing rugby.This is where Laporte comes in handy.

"Oh, I'm already in contact with Dusseldorf," Allofs hesitated a bit. "Although the position here is not as good as yours, it's just a U13 coach, but my home is here."

Competition items: arm wrestling, bench press, hitting a human target, which was brought by Laporte, and adding some barbell plates to test strength.

"Hello, I want to find a rugby club to start my career early." Lamotte replied

Klaus Allofs German striker, played for Bordeaux in the 89-90 season and scored 37 goals in 14 appearances. )
"Hello, Patrick, why did you call me?" Allofs was puzzled by Battiston calling him
"Let me be blunt. Our Bordeaux U19 youth team hopes to hire an assistant coach, mainly responsible for the training of offensive skills such as shooting. I recommend you. What do you mean?" Battiston said very directly, maybe It's because the two of them have been teammates for a year, and they have been in frequent contact since then, so they are very close.

"I really hope that the two of us can continue to fight side by side, and your family problem," Bartiston said, Fan Shang interjected, "We will solve the housing, let his wife and children come with him, and the children's schooling problems We also solved it, telling him that Germany is too cold, how good it is for his wife and children to be in the warm south of France!"

The game started vigorously like this. Arm wrestling Lamotte first won Drogba, and then lost to Distin. Drogba was specially instructed by Vincent not to win. If Lamotte came up, he would lose and not play. , Fan Shang was afraid that he would have nowhere to cry.Both Drogba and Distin on the bench press easily weighed 120 kilograms, while La Motte piled his face up to 115 kilograms. The monsters are still not enough to watch.In the last item, whoever pushes the human target the farthest within 30 seconds of the same weight wins. Drogba and Distin won by virtue of their height and leg length.After three events, La Motte won one game and lost the bet.In other words, he is going to play football with Fan Shang now.

Although Fan Shang was laughing in his heart, he still had to put on a good face. He criticized the two of them a few words, but they respected Laporte a little.And looking at La Motte again, he was downcast, as if he couldn't live.Vincent first asked Laporte to rest in the office for a while, and then asked Distin and Drogba to persuade Lamotte to play football. Without saying a few words, the three of them walked up to Vincent, shoulder to shoulder.

"Boss, I want to play football!" La Motte shouted
Fan Shang smiled happily.Lamotte, Distin and Drogba were also smiling happily.As for how they persuaded, Fan Shang didn't care anymore, anyway, it's more convenient to communicate with the muscles in the brain and the muscles in the brain.
