Born to be a coach [soccer]

This is also the first time Anton has participated in an offline event of the Sunderland Fans Forum. He has heard Martin and Russell describe this event.

It is said that when Simon Grayson led the team, the team's performance was not good. On the fans' offline "forum", the fans pointed out sharply in front of Simon that some people on the team "didn't work hard" and the players' " Morale problem" ... are some of the comments that hit the nail on the head.

Simon and the others just sat there and were scolded by the fans for more than an hour.In the end, it was the fans who invited them to drink beer. Some fans drank too much and cried with Simon... The feelings of the fans are like this, with deep love and deep responsibility.

Fortunately, Anton doesn't have to face such complicated emotions now. Now that the team has finally stabilized its course and can break through the waves, the fans are naturally in a good mood, looking forward to the situation after the team returns to the Premier League.

In addition to Vardy's "Best Rookie", they also presented an award, "Best Fan", and invited Anton to present the award himself.It is said that only one person can receive this honor every month.

The winner is a 91-year-old man named Nelson Horton.Anton personally pinned the medal on his chest. The old man put his palm on the medal, looked at Anton, and said emotionally: "This medal is a treasure that I will always take to the grave."

At that time, Anton didn't think much about it until Russell told him quietly: what the old man said is not exaggerated at all. This is a tradition in the Sunderland area. Lan's jersey was buried. "They still wear medals and everything. But the 'Best Fan' is only awarded once a month, and everyone waits in line, so now the 'Best Fan' is basically ranked by age. It will be awarded to whoever."

Anton also had the honor to meet Russell's family that day. Russell's wife, Mrs. Black, brought their three children to the event.

Mrs. Black had obviously met Anton in newspapers or on TV. After shaking hands with Anton, Mrs. Black was surprised at Anton’s youth: “Russell used to say you were young, and I always thought it was you who took the special photo. The reason... so you are so young!"

Russell looked awkward on the sidelines, and it was obvious that he said that Anton was "too young" at home, and it was not a compliment.

Russell's three children are very cute. The eldest son and daughter are a pair of twins, already 12 years old, and the youngest son is only seven years old, which is the most lovable age.

Anton turned around and patted Russell, and whispered to him, "Suddenly I understand you. To be honest, for such a big family, no matter how hard I work, I can't do it too much."

Russell straightened his back with a proud expression on his face.Unexpectedly, his youngest son was standing next to Anton at this moment, and asked in a low voice, "Are you the one who always gets in trouble with Dad, are you Dad's new boss?"

Russell was going crazy, and he tried his best to wink with his son, trying to make the boy shut up quickly, and don't shake out all the words he occasionally complained about Anton at home.Unexpectedly, the kid blinked at Anton and said: "Mom said, Dad will only complain about those who are better than him, you must be very good!"

Anton laughed heartily when he heard the words, and Russell let out a long sigh of relief, showing the smile of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

The little guy seemed to think that Anton had a good temper, so he stared at Anton and wanted to say something to him.Russell hurriedly took the kid away and asked Mrs. Black to take the three children home early to rest.And Anton walked out of the venue where the event was held, found a clean place, took out the vibrating cell phone in his pocket, and pressed the answer button.

"Excuse me, is this Anton?" The visitor spoke with a strong German accent.

"Yes," Anton looked down at the number, and it had switched to German as soon as he spoke.German and Danish are very close. When he was in Denmark, his good German foundation helped him quickly understand and understand the local language.

"That's great." As soon as the other party heard that Anton could speak German, as if he had dropped a big rock, he immediately switched to German, and this time he continued speaking in one breath.

Anton's brows furrowed slightly.

After answering the phone, he immediately came back to Martin.

Martin was such a good talker that he could talk for two hours without stopping over a half pint of beer.At this time, he was in the middle of a conversation, and he was happily chatting with others, when Anton suddenly called him out and asked, "Have you brought your passport?"

Martin: ...?

This... is it going to fly to Borussia Mönchengladbach again?

"But it's so late, is there still a flight to Germany at Newcastle Airport?"

Anton shook his head: "No... but London does!"

His plan was to take the night train to London and catch the first morning flight to Düsseldorf so they could make it back in the afternoon, and maybe Anton could catch the team's practice match.

When Martin heard this, he had a bitter face. He still had half a pint of beer in his hand! ——But he is the CEO of the team. Although Royce Jr. is only a "futures" at the moment, he is an "asset" under the name of the team after all, and he heard what Anton said seriously. I hurried home to get my passport, and immediately set off with Anton.

The club's "ground director" Peter Mills, who didn't drink, volunteered to drive the two to Newcastle.There, they took the express train going south overnight, stopped in London for two or three hours, and then boarded a flight to Germany, and at the same time they took a very talkative professor——

Therefore, when Marco Royce saw Anton and his party, he had no doubt that his father called Anton: Even if his father notified Anton last night, they couldn't have rushed over so soon!

—It must be that they care deeply about themselves, it must be so!

"Marco, I heard that you were injured during the game, so I came to see you. How do you feel?" Anton looked at Royce with a relaxed expression.

Royce smiled at him: "There's nothing serious about it. I'm sorry to have alarmed you and made you travel all the way..."

"Don't be embarrassed, I have a friend who specializes in sports injuries. He hasn't been back to Germany for a while, and he is thinking of coming back to take a look!" Anton turned around and introduced to Royce, "Marco, This is Professor Andrea Friedrich, Professor, and this is Marko."

Professor Friedrich was staring at Anton now, thinking that his office in London was in disarray, and assistants were calling one by one to reschedule the patients who were due to see this morning - how could he be returning home? Are you visiting relatives?

But the professor and Anton are old friends. Although he glared at Anton at this moment, he still couldn't bear to expose Anton's lie, and stepped forward to shake hands with Royce. "Marco, hello!"

Professor Andrea Friedrich was originally a slovenly person, but now he has gray hair like a chicken coop and an unshaven beard, which has not been trimmed for a long time.But Royce only felt very relieved when he saw him: this man is not like Borussia's team doctor, who always puts on a serious face.

"Marco, I heard from your team doctor that your injury is nothing serious." Anton also seemed not to take Royce's injury seriously, "But the professor is very good at recovering from sports injuries. Let him take a look at it for you, okay?"

Royce had no reason to refuse, so he nodded obediently.The professor sat down beside him, helped Royce lift his calf and ankle slightly, and asked with a smile while lifting, "Young man, do you look brave?"

Seeing that Royce had been checked by Anton, Anton turned around and went out to find Martin.At this time, Martin was arguing with Borussia's coaching staff and management.

"I think we have reached an agreement on Marco's transfer. So we have every right to ask about Marco's health." Martin had been a lawyer for a while before becoming the club's CEO. He can also be half a lawyer himself.

"It's no problem——" Borussia's coaching staff looked at each other, "Is your club running over so nervously, is it a little too much? Marco just suffered a minor injury. The team doctor has already diagnosed him. He only needs to rest for a few minutes. Heaven will heal."

Anton walked into the meeting room with a smile: "But why do I hear that some people are persuading Marco to play closed?"

Borussia became nervous all of a sudden.The coach and the team doctor looked at each other, the embarrassment on their faces was revealed from the inside out.

That's what Royce Jr.'s father called to tell Anton.Royce has always had a sense of responsibility and honor. Although he has already signed a transfer agreement, Borussia has reached the critical moment of relegation. He also feels that he cannot leave Borussia and only cares about his own future—not to mention, Sander The transfer agreement signed by Lan and him is still conditional.

Just hit the block and hit the block-the young Royce felt that since the most difficult time had come, he should try his best and pass it.

But a father couldn't bear to see his son like this, that's why Hans called Anton.

"I would like to remind everyone that Royce's health is not only important to your club, but also to us and his own career. We came here today to remind you that he is not only Borussia Borussia, he's also going to Sunderland."

Anton is declaring his sovereignty: he is mine now.

The opponent's coach was intimidated by Anton's aura, and couldn't help but interjected: "But it was a conditional agreement..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Anton rudely: "Whether Sunderland can be promoted or not, you really don't need to worry about it. You just need to respect the agreement signed at the beginning."

"I remember that when the two parties signed the agreement, there was a clause restricting the use of Royce, and it was clearly stated that he could not be forced to play when he was injured. Playing closed or something, this is really..." Martin said while Shaking his head, as if such a thing was unheard of.

But Borussia's coaching staff looked at each other for a while, and one of them suddenly said: "We will definitely not force him to play, who will force him? But what if Marco insists on playing?"

The author has something to say: Regarding Royce, many friends mentioned before that he is too brittle and may not be suitable for the intensity of the Premier League.I understand everyone's concerns, but the reason why Royce is "brittle" has something to do with his early years when Borussia Borussia was relegated and played closed games after being injured, playing full attendance.Hand him over to Anton here, don't worry everyone, he will be fine.

Also, try to be more diligent during the May Day period, so you can still see an update at 12 noon tomorrow.
