Born to be a coach [soccer]

Pickford managed to keep a clean sheet against Coventry County on Wednesday.He made some very good saves to give Sheffield a valuable three points on Wednesday.

After the game, Anton found an opportunity to say hello to Sheffield Wednesday's head coach.Thanks to Wednesday's coach, the Scot, Alan Alwien, praised Pickford in front of Anton without a word, thinking that thanks to this kid today, otherwise the team would not have this result.

But facing the warm smile on Anton's face, he suddenly got stuck, remembering that Pickford's lease is actually only half a year, this is too much praise, what should Sunderland do if they don't renew the lease next season? .

Anton smiled and shook hands with Alvin: "I wish you good luck in all the remaining games on Wednesday."

In this way, Pickford reluctantly bid farewell to the friends who came to Hillsborough to "visit the class", and continued to embark on the road of "leveling" alone.

桑德兰在英冠的排名则在继续上升。在这个疯狂三月的尾巴上，桑德兰战罢第39轮,2：0战胜了老牌劲旅诺丁汉森林,积57分,排在英冠联赛的第八位。联赛还剩7轮,而他们距离No.6也正好还差7分。

Throughout the second half of this season, Sunderland seemed to be a dark horse that turned out to rise against the trend, and quickly climbed from the vicinity of the relegation zone to its current position.This achievement is really astonishing. Even the most critical commentator can't help but attribute this achievement to the transformation brought about by Anton's coaching.

Coupled with the "Agnelli Oolong" incident that had caused a lot of trouble before, Anton did become the darling of the media for a time, and this enthusiasm is slowly spreading from England to the entire European continent.

Even Ronaldo, who is in Spain, can occasionally get news about Anton. For example, before his agent Mendez Jorge came to visit this day, Ronaldo happened to brush a short paragraph on social media that was The video has been shared countless times.

What appears to be a young woman who originally posted the video yelled on her Twitter: "Anton, please take off your glasses!"

This video happened to be the last time Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur met in the FA Cup quarter-finals. After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, Sunderland scored a lore in stoppage time.In the end, the players knocked off Anton's glasses while celebrating wildly.So when the opposing player kicked off, Anton was still looking for his glasses all over the sidelines.I don't know which camera position it was, but it happened to take a close-up of Anton without his glasses.

This girl put Anton's "official" photo beside the video, which is a bit of "everyone come to comment". I hope that the people who eat melons will say something and tell her whether Anton looks good with glasses or not. Wearing glasses looks good.

The tweet with the video was retweeted quickly, and the comments under the tweet snowballed.Some people think that Anton has a special demeanor when he wears glasses. In addition, there are many voices who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, just like the girl who tweeted, calling on Anton to "take off his glasses."

"For people with high myopia like us, glasses are a necessity, aren't they?" A user whose profile picture is wearing old-fashioned glasses stood up to speak for Anton.

"No, no, you are wrong, for us, Anton's appearance is a necessity!"

"If you're short-sighted, Anton can consider invisible or surgical correction, but don't let this classic wide-rimmed glasses affect his handsome modern face?"

The sincere voices of the simple glasses users were quickly suppressed by the comments of the Yan party, without even a little splash.

There was a lot of discussion on Twitter, so someone circled Sunderland's official tweet.After obtaining the approval of the club's public relations department, Sunderland's official Twitter launched a vote, and at the same time published two photos of Anton wearing glasses and without glasses, and attached the short video for everyone to express their opinions.

Of course, the official photo of Anton without glasses was naturally processed by PS.

And the people who eat melons on the Internet put Sunderland's official tweet on the top of the homepage with the attitude of "mockery official tweets, everyone is responsible".Sunderland's official Twitter account instantly garnered countless followers.Many people are asking about Anton's account number, but the official Twitter account just avoids answering, talking about him from left to right.

Ronaldo remembered that he had seen Anton himself in the game several times without glasses, but after getting used to seeing him, he felt that he looked more elegant and gentlemanly with glasses.

At this time Mendes came, saw Ronaldo, and the two greeted for a while, Mendes went straight to the topic: "Cristiano, I heard that you once accepted a gift from a sports game company under the Starway Sports Group. Internal beta account?"

Ronaldo nodded: "Yes, they gave me an account of 'Green Life'."

So Mendes took out a photo from his notebook and handed it to Ronaldo: "Have you seen this person?"

Ronaldo glanced at it, then handed Mendes the video he had just swiped on Twitter: "Isn't it him? What's wrong?"

In the photo in Mendez's hand, Anton is wearing a pair of glasses and smiling gently at the viewer.

When Mendes saw the discussions and votes on Twitter, he immediately laughed and turned around roughly. Then he remembered Ronaldo's question: "He is now the most popular young coach in England."

"Because of a chance, I found out that the person who recommended him to Sunderland before he joined Sunderland was the chairman of Starway Sports Group. So I wondered what relationship he has with Starway Group. .”

Ronaldo simply spread his hands: "I don't know!"

When Mendes came to him, Ronaldo knew that he must have something: a young coach, a good image, a high degree of topicality, and a clear rising period... Obviously this is the person Mendes is looking for.When Mendes came to inquire about Anton, it was obvious that he already regarded Anton as his potential client.

"Cristiano, I know you still have a lot of contacts in England. If you have any way to find out his private contact information, the office phone number is always not very good. If you have a private number, or a social media account or something Yes, that would be the best." Mendes finally expressed his purpose.

Ronaldo spread his hands: "That guy, social media probably hasn't had time to register a public account yet!"

Mendes felt that there was a door when he heard it: If there is no official account, then maybe there will be a trumpet?After questioning for a long time, Ronaldo really didn't know anything. He just said: "Jorge, if you really just want to meet Anton with your own eyes and talk to him, I have a way to arrange it."

Mendez: ...how?

The whole Twitter discussion about Anton's vintage glasses caught the attention of others.

"In other words, if a coach is highly myopic, can he still direct the game well?"

"Of course, don't you have glasses?"

"But what if he lost his glasses?"

"Is this..."

Blink of an eye to April 4, this is the day when Sunderland went to Wembley Stadium to participate in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.Just a day earlier, on the same field, another match in the semi-finals had ended.Ancelotti led Chelsea to a beautiful 11-3 defeat of city rivals Fulham.

Now Sunderland's opponent is a relegation team in the Premier League, Portsmouth.The winning side will compete with Chelsea for the FA Cup title on May 5.

Sunderland and Portsmouth share the same disease. Apart from the FA Cup front, they also face quite difficult challenges in their respective leagues: Sunderland wants to be promoted, while Portsmouth wants to relegation.Both sides hope to finish the game without bloodshed, and never drag it to overtime, and the main players must not be injured-so Anton's arrangement for the players before the game is very simple:

Pack lightly, do your best, and leave no regrets.

The weather was fine on this day, and the attendance at Wembley Stadium reached 84000 people.Many Sunderland fans came to London with their families, and the money in their hands was only enough to buy the highest seats on the second floor, but this did not prevent them from singing and dancing happily, as if they were celebrating a festival——

After all, Sunderland has not gone so far in the cup for a long time, and I don't know how many years ago it last entered the semi-finals.For many fans, coming here means earning money. It is best if the team wins. If they are unlucky and fail to win in the end, they are already high, and they will not lose or lose.

But to everyone's surprise, an accident happened within a few minutes of the game.

At that time, Anton was standing on the sidelines directing the game. Who knew that a Portsmouth player suddenly dribbled the ball tightly close to the sideline when he was fighting with a Sunderland wide player. Not far away, Sunderland's full-back Horton came up to fight. The Portsmouth player suddenly changed direction somehow, and seemed to be out of control. run down.

After the player knocked down Anton, he seemed to be very panicked. He put his hands on the ground, looked around, and then strode forward, as if to help Anton up.

After Anton was knocked down by him, Horton immediately kicked the ball out of the sideline and came up to help their coach.Anton reached out and picked up something on the ground, held it in his hand, and stood up unsteadily.

That thing happened to be his glasses, which had been crushed by the Portsmouth players at this moment. The lenses were completely broken and the frame was distorted. Anton was holding it in the palm of his left hand.

Anton has always been a gentle, refined, polite and self-reliant person, but at this time everyone around him can feel that this young coach can't hold back his anger at all——Anton raised his right hand, already holding The other party's collar easily pulled the other party up, and pulled him in front of him, his eyes were wide open in anger, his left hand was already clenched into a fist, and God knows when his fist will be swung.

I only heard Russell yelling desperately on the coach's bench: "Anton, calm down—"
