Born to be a coach [soccer]

Afterwards, there were mixed reviews of Anton's performance at the press conference.Some people think that Anton refused to answer the questions of the "Sun" out of respect for the visiting team.

Some people also think that the reporter Mark Gary who asked the question has nothing to do with a false report 20 years ago. It is a bit too much for Anton to beat the reporter of the "Sun" to death.

Even after the press conference, the team CEO Martin Bain also sneaked over to "warn" Anton, reminding him not to easily become an enemy of the media. "Liverpool has been fighting for so many years about the Hillsborough tragedy, but they still haven't been able to get the justice they want." Martin said in a tone of "young people are still too inexperienced in life." The newspaper is not friendly, and they will have prejudice against you in the future. You must know that we all live in a society surrounded by the media. In a place like England, you will feel it one day: people's words are terrible..."

Anton has another opinion: Since the strategy of a national tabloid like The Sun is to attract attention by "headline party" and side-balling false news, he does not intend to maintain a good relationship with this kind of media at all.That being the case, why not show that the two sides are not at loggerheads in the first place.If the "Sun" dares to report his untrue news in the future, he will fight back with a reason: "The Sun" has a relationship with him, and it is impossible to report fairly.

After the game, the Sunderland fans were very happy and went to the "Black Cat Bar" at the Stadium of Light to toast and celebrate.After drinking a glass of beer, the atmosphere in the bar is very lively.

"Everyone goes to Liverpool together in the replay."

"It's settled at first glance. I'll go and talk to the boss. For such a big matter, let him advance his salary as soon as possible, so that he won't even be able to afford the bus ticket!"

"Don't worry! For such a big event, the Fans Association will definitely arrange a bus to take everyone to Liverpool this time." The vice-chairman of the Fans Association assured him with a pat on his chest.

"That's a good relationship! By the way, we tied Liverpool this time, is it considered unpopular?" A fan asked.

"It can't be counted!" The fans agreed. "We and Liverpool should be regarded as relatively similar teams, and this time it's just a tie. It's not that they poured seven or eight goals..."

At this moment, the news came, and the bar waiter greeted everyone: "Guys, be quiet, it seems that there is a real 'unpopular'."

The bar immediately fell silent, and the waiter turned up the volume on an old-fashioned quartz radio:

"Unbelievable, this is unbelievable... This is even more surprising than the result of Sunderland's draw with Liverpool earlier. Leeds United, a third-tier League One team, just played away at Old Trafford with a score of 1-0. Germany knocked out their arch-rivals Manchester United. The FA Cup is the real deal... a hotbed of unpopularity!"

The third-level team overturned the Premier League team, and it was still at Old Trafford, the Theater of Dreams. This is definitely the unpopular among the unpopular.

The Sunderland fans looked at each other in dismay: "This is great, our headlines have been robbed!"

Soon, the third round of the FA Cup was all over.The exquisite "world wave" scored by Eriksson was rated as the top ten goals of this round.Originally, the team thought that this goal should be the best of the round, but it was not judged. Everyone felt a little sorry for Eriksson.Only Eriksson was still as happy as something, holding his mobile phone to call his family in Denmark, chatting non-stop.

But what Anton cares about is the fourth round draw ceremony that will be held immediately after the third round.Although Sunderland and Liverpool are still waiting for a rematch, this does not prevent the draw.The result of the draw came out soon. The winner of the rematch between Sunderland and Liverpool will face the Premier League team Burnley at home. The game time is scheduled for January 1.

Anton looked at his notebook, and the rematch with Liverpool is scheduled for January 10, more than 1 days later. Next, Sunderland will play against West Bromwich Albion at home on the 13th, and play at home on the 18th. Crystal Palace, away to Leicester City on the 27th.The schedule is so dense that it makes people panic.

Many people in the team don't believe that the team can beat Liverpool at Anfield, so they don't think they need to consider the fourth round of the FA Cup on January 1.But Anton still solemnly listed this day's game on the team's schedule-he hoped that the whole team would fight for it together.

But in the next 10 days or so, the team can take a good rest and adjust their tactics.Anton also happened to have some personal affairs that he could spare time to complete: one was the interview he had agreed to with Jack McQueen earlier, and the other was the house he had just rented.

Real estate agent Roy Schiller introduced Anton to several local plumbers.Because the head coach of Sunderland wanted to renovate the house, the plumbers were very enthusiastic and came to work early. According to the drawings Anton gave them, a series of metal pipe fittings were installed in the two rented buildings "side by side" by Anton. In the villa, waterproofing should be done according to the requirements.

"Mr. Anton, do you think the house is cold and you want to do the plumbing yourself?" A plumber asked curiously.Anton insisted that they call him by his first name, but the plumber was still not used to it and insisted on adding "Mr."

"No," Anton explained, "I have a computer that needs to be cooled. Instead of spending additional energy to cool it down, it's better to use the heat energy. The cooling water in these pipes will be recycled and sent to the Other places in the house. It can be used as heating in winter, and it can be used as domestic hot water in summer. This is more friendly to the environment.”

The plumbers had never heard of such a thing. They scratched their heads and thought for a long time, and finally asked: "What kind of computer needs to be cooled like this? Is it a desktop computer?" The largest computer the plumbers have ever seen is about Desktops in the town library.

Anton smiled, stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's very big, probably like dozens of desktop computers stacked up. It will take up an entire room."

Few people know that he is in charge of the servers of "Green Life" in Europe, and he is also responsible for the daily physical maintenance.After a while, the cooling equipment in this house is installed, and "Green Life" will stop for maintenance for a period of time until he is completely settled here.

The maintenance announcement was sent out early, but there were not many players online at the time.Except for player E who is known to be Queen Elizabeth II, only player C and player K are online.

At this time, Roy Schiller was sweating and rushed over with Halldosson and Eriksson.Halldosson and Eriksson are looking for a house in this city led by Roy.However, Halldosson only has a six-month lease with the club and wants to rent a short-to-medium-term apartment, but all the short-to-medium-term apartments with convenient locations on the market were rented out years ago.

Roy was in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that Anton rented two "side-by-side" villas next to each other last time, thinking that maybe he could persuade Anton to be a second landlord or something, so he drove over with two Nordic people up.

"Anton, why did you say you rented a whole house last time?" Roy asked Anton, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"I want to install a circulating heat dissipation system in the whole house to heat the house. The house is too small for sufficient heat dissipation." Anton replied.

"But why do you want to rent such a 'side by side' divided into two households?" Roy suddenly felt very hopeful.

Anton replied: "Because I can't live in such a big house by myself, besides, I'm not used to living with other people. Even if someone moves into this house to live with them, I hope that they are separate families, and everyone lives in their own. Do not disturb each other."

As soon as Anton finished speaking, Eriksson stretched out his hand and gave Halldosson a high-five next to him, then turned his face and asked Anton, "Boss, we want to be your neighbors, are we qualified?"

Anton laughed: Why didn't he think of it?

"Of course! I rented the house next door to my younger brother, because my younger brother is a very rowdy guy, and we have long been used to living separately. But he should be in a while now." If you don't come, it will be cheaper for you two!"

Eriksson raised his hands and was about to cheer, when Halldosson hurriedly asked again: "Boss, can you drive us to the training base every day? I'm really not used to the right rudder."

Anton nodded: "Of course, but I'm a strict person and won't wait to be late. If you miss my car, you can only take the bus by yourself!"

Both of them agreed, and the matter was settled, while Roy was greatly relieved.

Several plumbers worked all day, and at night, they finally installed the cooling and heating device, and ran the water to confirm that there is no problem with the water tightness.After getting off work in the evening of the next day, Anton stopped serving, moved the server to his home, and installed the radiator.

At this time Eriksson and Halldosson had already moved their luggage from the hotel.The two brothers allocated the space in the house next door to Anton by themselves: there were three bedrooms on the second floor, one of which was occupied by the two, and one was left empty.The kitchen and living room on the ground floor are shared.

As Roy had said earlier, the house wasn't very well insulated.Before restarting the server, the cooling and heating equipment has not started working.In the weather of January, there seemed to be no heat at all in the house, and there was a chill in the air.Anton restarted the server decisively, and watched all the lights turn on in sequence and began to flash.But there is still a while before the warmth is delivered from the server to all parts of the house.

"I don't know what happened to the two boys next door!" Thinking about it, Anton hurried out from the front, walked around to the main road, came to the next door, and knocked on the door.

"The boss is here, please come in!" It was Halldosson who came to open the door.He was wearing a thick wool sweater with an argyle pattern, and wool socks on his feet.

The room was quite warm. It turned out that the two young men lit the last few pieces of firewood left in the fireplace. The fire was burning vigorously, and there was a soft crackling sound from the burning firewood.A few candles are lit in the candlesticks on the fireplace, and the whole living room is enveloped in a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.

At this time, Eriksson was half lying on the sofa in front of the fireplace, holding a cup of steaming black tea in his hand, looking terribly comfortable.

"Boss, your house is really nice." Seeing Anton coming in, Eriksson sat up with a cup of tea in his hand. "It's really comfortable!"

Anton stared at the two young people in front of him, and couldn't help feeling secretly: Nordic people... are really super easy to satisfy!

The author has something to say: In the 2009-10 FA Cup season, Manchester United and Liverpool lost to the League One team and the other was tied by the English Championship. This is true in history.

However, sometimes it is a good choice to get out early in the cup and let the team focus on one or two fronts.Otherwise, it is easy to "go hand in hand" in January, and "all four are empty" in March.
