Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 267

Leaving Wolves' home court, Sunderland's return bus, the joy of victory flowed everywhere, and the happiness of the league championship could not be hidden-of course, no one wanted to hide it.

The Sunderland players kept singing, and there was no need to change the song, that is, Queen's "We Are the Champions", over and over again, endlessly.The players also dragged down all the members of the coaching staff who were usually difficult to say "respect", and pulled them to sing together. It doesn't matter even if the tune is wrong and you can't remember the words, just shout out the lyrics of "that sentence" at the top of your voice.

Except for Mr. Thompson, who was concentrating on driving, everyone on the bus was intoxicated in the singing of "We are the champions"-after another victory, they were real "champions".

In the earlier game against Wolves, Sunderland experienced the adventure of "winning the championship first, then playing". Before the start of the game, they had already won the title of league champion.The opponent, Wolves, is a relegation team that urgently needs to "go ashore" to score. They saw that Sunderland was immersed in the joy of winning the championship at the moment. Relying on their home court advantage, the Wolves launched a challenge to Sunderland's goal as soon as they came up. onslaught--

The Sunderland players took a look: This is not right, we are the freshly baked league champions, if this game fulfills your relegation, where will I put my face!

With such an energy of "saving face", the Sunderland players are still standing on the green grass of the Molinex Stadium no matter how "wandering" they are in their hearts.The coaching staff originally set highly targeted tactics. Although the Wolves have home court advantage, several main attack points in the team are restricted, making it difficult to perform well.

In the end, Sunderland easily won the game 1-0.Proof that the newly minted Premier League champions are worthy of their name.

But the Wolves didn't feel too miserable - Birmingham City, which had one point less points than them, lost the game by a big score this round, so the Wolves are still hanging on the rear of the relegation zone.

Sitting on the bus at the moment, Eriksson was sitting by the window. The sunshine in England in May shone warmly on half of his face. The scenery outside the window flashed by, making him a little dazed.

The young man couldn't help stretching out his hand, letting the sunlight from the car window shine on his hand, and couldn't help but muttered, "Is this... all true? Am I dreaming?"

He just made his debut from Denmark's Odense Football Club three years ago and became a professional player. Now he is already a member of the top league championship team?

Eriksson has been in contact with Anton for the longest time, and even the "question of the soul" that Anton could not resist made him dazed for a moment.

At this time, Vardy, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke next to Eriksson and said: "Think about the sweat you have shed during these times, the tears you shed when you encountered setbacks...Think about your teammates , the detours they have taken, and their sacrifices... If even this is a dream, then there will be no more real dream than this in the world."

Russell's seat is just behind Vardy and Eriksson. He held a mobile phone in his left hand and did not forget to pat Eriksson on the shoulder with his right hand. Nunu pointed to Vardy and said, "Listen to him. Yes, he's right..."

At this time, Russell's cell phone happened to be connected. Russell got excited and yelled at everyone in the car: "Be quiet, be quiet, I connected Anton's phone, be quiet..."

Russell has been trying to call Anton since he came out of Molinex.He was very disturbed, wondering what Anton would think of the 1-0 match just now, but he also felt that Anton might not have time to watch the match just now, after all Anton had said on the phone earlier that there was a little bit of trouble in him. "situation".

Russell was concerned about what "situation" was going on with Anton. He had been calling Anton since the game ended, but Anton's cell phone was either unanswered or a busy signal, which made Russell anxious. It's sweat.At this time, it was finally connected, and Russell immediately asked his players and subordinates to quiet down honestly and bluntly.

"Russell, congratulations! You won another game." Anton's voice was still warm and pleasant, "You and the whole team have performed very well. I think you have fully established your confidence in leading the team , you will be a fantastic manager in the Premier League."

Hearing Anton's compliment from the heart, Russell blushed, and he didn't know what to say, and after a long while, he reluctantly asked: "You... Has your situation over there been resolved? "

Anton replied: "Not yet..."

Russell: Well...

"But there is good news for you. I think I should be able to come to the team's final game of the season," Anton said.

When Russell was excited, he shouted: "Guys, Anton will be back to direct the next game!"

The bus fell silent for an instant, and all the players and coaching staff turned their heads to stare at Russell.

Anton laughed on the other end of the phone: "I didn't come back to direct, but went to watch you direct!"

He went on to say: "I have a little idea now, I think I should be able to walk away in two days..."

Anton's bedroom is full of various electronic instruments and equipment, and there is a tall pile of calculation papers on the table.His laptop has nowhere to go but on the bedside table.

Skype was open on the laptop, showing Professor Friedrich's profile picture.The professor scratched his head and asked Anton: "Do you really think that the brain waves I observed are related to Sunderland's 'winning the championship'?"

Anton nodded: "I believe so."

"Before I felt that there should be some correspondence between the tasks in "Life in the Green". It's just that I can't figure out what kind of correspondence between virtual and reality Bernard has set up-I sometimes feel that Liverpool in the game is It corresponds to the Liverpool Football Club in reality, and sometimes I feel that the team I coach in the game corresponds to the team I coach in reality..."

The professor was confused, so he could only ask pitifully, "Does it matter?"

Anton nodded: "Of course, I originally thought that the trigger condition set by Bernard was that if one side won the 'Challenge of the Champions League', his 'consciousness' would be released immediately and enter our real world. There was a bug in , which caused his 'agent consciousness' to enter Bernard's body; but now it seems that this may be just an appearance, or a prerequisite..."

The professor was even more dizzy, and wanted to ask Anton to "speak human words" several times.

"By taking advantage of the moment when Sunderland won the championship this time, the brain wave fluctuation you observed at Bernard gave me a bold hypothesis-the prerequisites set by Bernard actually correspond to At Sunderland, the team I coached."

This explains why the stars who were aligned with Anton in the game will join Sunderland one after another.

"After Sunderland won the league title, I think Bernard's own consciousness will become more active. In the past two hours, my observation of the underlying data of the simulator has also proved this."

"So what should we do?" The professor finally waited for the best time to ask this sentence.

"Wait, and keep hope." Anton replied, "We need to wait for the next trigger to come."

Professor Friedrich thought for a while and said: "But Anton, you have temporarily resigned from the position of head coach, but have you ever thought that your next wait may be three to five months, or it may be Three years, five years... many years, you have the heart to let go of what you have achieved in football, can you...can you let go of Sunderland?"

Anton was silent for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Who said I let go-even if I can't continue to coach in the future, it doesn't mean that I let go of this football club?"

On May 5, in the final battle of the Premier League, Sunderland went south to London to face the relegated "Hammer Gang" West Ham United.

This is a game that has nothing to do with the "end": before this game, Sunderland had already won the championship early, while West Ham United had been relegated early. The result of this game has no effect on both sides.

But it's still a game.No one knows what the relegated West Ham United thinks. Anyway, Sunderland prepared for this game conscientiously, and the result is naturally not surprising.Sunderland's 3-0 victory over West Ham United drew a perfect end to the season.

The game was held at Upton Park Stadium in London. In Upton Park Stadium, which can accommodate more than 3 fans, most of the seats are Sunderland fans-the league awards will be held after the game Ceremony, fans don't want to miss their team's most glorious moment.

There was also a small tidbit during the game: When the game was in the 70th minute, an airship advertisement suddenly floated on Upton Park, and the airship pulled down a long slogan banner, which read: "Congratulations Grant is a Millwall legend!"

Obviously, this airship advertisement is a spoof by fans of Millwall, the sworn enemy of West Ham United.Grant is the head coach of West Ham United, and he was fired after the team confirmed their relegation.But Millwall fans are obviously very grateful to Grant for relegating the "mortal enemy" by himself, and don't mind giving him the title of "famous".

Since the last time Sunderland visited the "bus attack" incident at Upton Park Stadium, the behavior of Millwall fans has begun to restrain, and the violence has gradually decreased. spoof".

The West Ham United fans at Upton Park felt extremely ashamed: But this season's relegation is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to cry any more. We can only wait for next season and try hard to turn around.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Sunderland fans in the stadium jumped up together, applauded warmly, and hugged each other.

I don't know who it is, pointing to the blue sky, I saw another airship advertisement floating in the sky, this time the airship body is made of red and white, which is the color of Sunderland's jersey.A flag was pulled under the airship, and it was clearly written: "Sunderlandtil Idie!"

Sunderland's players and coaching staff saw it and looked up at the sky together.Immediately afterwards, the Sunderland fans also noticed, standing in the stands and clapping their hands.Many fans tugged at the team logo on the jerseys on their chests, and some people said loudly: "This is what we say in our hearts!"

My heart will always be with Sunderland!

Anton was also standing side by side in the stands with Sunderland's management at this time.He stared at the slogan, raised the corner of his mouth, and thought in his heart: After these days, no matter where he is in the future, and no matter how the Sunderland team develops, whether it is good or bad, he will always have in his heart A place will be reserved for it, for this team, for this lovely group of fans.

——This is the charm of football.
