Chapter 161 The Head Coach Is Absolutely Yellow!
January 1, London, England.

Mendes accompanied Wu Haowen to the Crystal Palace club in a special car.

in the car.

"Wu, I have to remind you again that the meeting with the board of directors is a necessary process, so you have to make it as easy as possible. Because...you understand. No one can succeed here. The same is true of the former England coach Hodgson."

Mendes had to tell Wu Haowen again to try to keep a low profile during the interview.

"I know, Mr. Mendes. Thank you for reminding me. I know how bad the team I am facing is, so this is a worthy challenge."

Wu Haowen smiled slightly.

I and Xiao Ai chose the most difficult one to come here. If it is Manchester United, I have to think more about it!why?

Because only such a team has the meaning of negotiation.

……

Board room.

Chairman Steve Parish, executive director Phil Alexander, commissioner Johnson Harris and acting head coach Friedman sit at one end of the table.Although Crystal Palace has been mired in the relegation zone, several members of the board of directors are still very elegant and demeanor, and they have never seen a trace of anxiety on their faces.It seemed that they were used to such scenes.

"Dear Mr. Mendes, thank you for choosing an excellent coach for us, and we are grateful for that." Chairman Parish stood up and gave a gentleman's salute.

Mendes also stood up to respond.

"Then, let's get started. Welcome the respected Wu to our Crystal Palace." Parish did not sit down just now out of politeness, and still made a gentleman's salute.

"I think, Wu, you should have understood our situation. We have a few questions that we would like to ask."

Wu Haowen also stood up and responded with a half bow.Then he sat down and smiled.

"Dear Mr. Chairman, friends from the management, hello. It is a great honor to be here to meet with you. I am also happy to serve you."

"For the current situation of our team, what do you think Wu?"

Parrish responded with a slight smile, he is not cold about Chinese coaching.If it weren't for Mendes' strong recommendation, he would not consider the Chinese, even if the opponent has an outstanding record.

"The current team is second to last. There is nothing worse than this. If there is one, it can only be Middlesbrough." Wu Haowen did not forget to give the British a joke, but it seems that the bosses don't appreciate it. I don't know if they don't understand the Chinese humor, or they forget to laugh because of the slap in the face of reality.

"Wu, this may not be funny at all. We don't want to play in the damn English Championship again. We want to stay in the Premier League. This is the center of the world." The executive director Alexander was a little displeased. Obviously, the Chinese are not what he thinks, and he himself has been expressing his opinion about choosing a Chinese coach.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I wanted to liven up the atmosphere. It's simple, there is no problem with relegation, we can still fight to see if we can enter the Europa League."

"what?"

Almost all the bosses exhaled surprise in unison.

"Impossible! Our Crystal Palace has no tradition of European competitions. Don't blindly set these goals for us. This is very unrealistic." Another director Harris also protested dissatisfied.

Mendes was a little nervous, so nervous that he forgot to remind us to keep a low profile.

Parrish stared at Wu Haowen with great interest, why should this yellow-skinned Oriental be bragging in front of us.

"Wu, our expectation is to get out of the damn relegation zone, can you do it? On the basis of the current lineup?"

"I'm sorry, I can't do it." Wu Haowen replied seriously.

"what?"

This time, even Mendes was shocked, this... This is different from the script!

Seeing that the situation would become unmanageable, Mendes hurried out to smooth things over.

"Dear Chairman and gentlemen, I think what Wu meant is that he needs some time, you know. The FA Cup on the 3rd just lost to Arsenal 1:2, the team's morale and personnel status need to be adjusted, and the defending champion Liverpool will be faced on the 9th, so, I think that's what Wu meant. It will take a little time."

After speaking, Mendes felt sweat dripping from his forehead.

Chairman Parish glanced at Wu Haowen suspiciously, only to see that he was still smiling, and it didn't look like he was joking.

"Then Wu, tell me what you think."

Wu Haowen was actually just joking, who told you not to take the first joke.It was so lifeless that I felt a little nervous just like when I was interviewing for the job, so I had to grasp the atmosphere.

"I need to adjust the lineup. Naturally, relegation is no problem at all, and my goal is to strive for the Europa League as much as possible." If Wu Haowen took over earlier, maybe Wu Haowen would qualify for the Champions League, but after all, it is too late. The gap with the top Manchester City is nearly 30 points, so it is better to be realistic.

The three board members looked at each other and nodded.

"At present, our transfer budget is only 1 million yuan, and the salary budget is 1498 million yuan. Do you think it can meet your requirements?"

Parrish continued to ask Wu Haowen, and they already had some agreement at this moment.After all, it is definitely not a fool who can be recommended by Mendes, and he must have some skills.Now that there is no good choice, Wu Haowen can only be chosen.

"Finance is fine. I will transfer 1-2 players in key positions. I think it should be fine." Wu Haowen nodded with satisfaction. The Premier League is the Premier League, and the salary budget is a few blocks lower than that of the Chinese Super League.Of course, that was because Kang Hui bought less people before, so this happened.

"Wu, I would like to ask you. You are still the head coach of the national team. Are you planning to resign? If you don't resign, how will you allocate your time between the club and the national team?" Alexander, the executive director, asked a very sharp question, which made Wu Haowen feel a little Alexander.

The Premier League is different from China. After all, it is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to go back and forth once.

Wu Haowen thought for a while, and then said directly.

"My task is to lead the team to qualify for the World Cup. There are difficulties at present, but they will not affect the club's games. I can guarantee this."

"So how do you guarantee it?" Alexander asked.In his opinion, there are more liars in the East, and he is worried that his team will be hit hard again.

"Mr. Mendes can show you my record and historical game data afterwards. I can guarantee what I can accomplish, and I will not easily promise what I cannot accomplish."

Wu Haowen understood that the executive director seemed to be upset with him. He glanced back at Mendes, who nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the record data, ask who in the world can compare?
"Wu, since we all met together, I don't think there is a problem of trust or mistrust. This is our acting head coach Friedman. If he is transferred to the management team as the football director, do you have any questions?" Chairman Parish has obviously accepted Wu Haowen's words, and now he is asking the acting head coach to change the management.

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your trust. I don't know much about the current coaching staff and management. I don't think this is the time for me to express my opinion. If it is really necessary, I think I will discuss it with you."

"Okay. Thank you for taking the time to come here today. I look forward to meeting you again." Chairman Parrish stood up and stepped forward to shake hands with Mendis and Wu Haowen.

On January 1, Parish contacted Wu Haowen and asked him to join Crystal Palace. The board of directors will meet Wu Haowen's conditions and support him as much as possible. They only hope that he can lead the team out of the abyss of relegation.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the same day, the official website of Crystal Palace announced that the new coach Wu Haowen officially entered the Selhurst Park Stadium and will lead the team out of the quagmire.

As soon as the news came out, the British were confused: Who is Wu Haowen?

When I saw the photo, I was stunned:
The head coach turned out to be a yellow man!
