Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 114

Anton supported his body on his elbows and sat up from his sofa.He reached out and pressed his temple, feeling that his head was still a little groggy.

Looking up at the familiar scene in his living room, Anton felt very confused. Looking out the window, it was already morning, and the sunlight shone into the kitchen through the window, and the light was filled with the smoke and fire of the world.

Anton rubbed his face with his hands, trying to recall: what happened last night.The first thing that comes to mind is Sunderland's opponents in the Europa League group stage, Young Boys, Getafe, Odense...

Anton got up quickly, went to the "war room" next to the living room, took three sticky notes, wrote the names of the three opponents on them, and pasted them on the wall.

Football wakes me up...

Looking at these names, Anton really gradually became sober. Fragments flashed one by one in his mind, and these fragments gradually began to connect into a piece.

He remembered that the team's small goalkeeper Pickford was annoyed by the loss of the goal in the Community Shield, and he kept his head buried in drinking - Opposite Pickford was the team's assistant coach Russell, and the fat Russell was opposite The young man is very envious, because he was recently "ordered" by Qiao's mother not to drink beer because of his weight...

Black Cat pub, fans chanting "Sunderland must win"...

Seems like someone said "drink to your heart's content"...

So he was "fragmented", unconscious, and forgot everything that happened.

Anton patted his head lightly, feeling that the span of the "fragment" is relatively long this time, and it's hard to guarantee that there is something he hasn't remembered yet.He went back to the second floor in a somewhat pretentious manner, took a shower, changed his clothes, and finally felt a lot refreshed. Looking at the time, it was still a little early before he went to Guangming Academy to work, so he went downstairs again, Get ready for breakfast——

Three breakfasts, fried eggs, ham, sausage, baked beans, roasted mushrooms, and delicious oatmeal.The coffee tube is enough.

Anton felt that he needed to thank the two "little neighbors" who sent him back last night.

Maybe the smell of breakfast spread to the next door, and Anton's door was opened not long after.Both Messi and Eriksson looked in from outside the door.

"Come in! Breakfast is ready!" Anton took the sizzling ham and fried eggs out of the pan.

The two young men rushed in together with a cheer, but sat down at the dining table in an orderly manner.It is said that the only thing in England that does not count as "dark cuisine" is the English breakfast, and the breakfast made by Anton himself is absolutely extraordinary. Messi has heard Eriksson mention it a long time ago, and now he finally has the opportunity to feast on it.

"Boss, have you looked at your mobile phone?" Eriksson asked vaguely while eating.

When Eriksson sent Anton back last night, he saw Anton's cell phone fall out of his pocket and put it on the coffee table in the living room.That phone is still there now.

"Not yet...what's the matter?"

Anton keenly caught the narrowness in the eyes of the two young people opposite.

"No...nothing!"

Even Messi, who has always been a little shy, tried his best to hold back his laughter at the moment.

"Last night, last night... what happened?"

Anton's eyes carefully examined the two opposite.

"It's really nothing..." Messi continued to reiterate, "But boss, have you really forgotten everything?"

Eriksson let out a "puchi" laugh, and quickly shook his hand after laughing: "No, no, boss, I shouldn't have laughed at you, you were really... handsome last night!"

Anton ignored these two and went to check his phone by himself.His phone was set to silent mode last night, so it looked peaceful when he held it in his hand.But when he opened it, he found that whether it was his text message or Twitter account, there was a feeling of being "air raided".

First, Martin, the club's CEO, sent a message asking: "Anton, are you home yet? I'll let the two little ones take you home. Please send me a message when you're home."

Not long after this message, Martin sent another: "Oh, please ignore me, Christian has reported that he is safe." It was two o'clock.

He returned home at two o'clock, and the memory he "lost" when he disconnected was quite a long time ago.

Then came a text from Mendes, at 02:30 in the night: "Anton, you are amazing! I have never seen such a talented head coach, believe me, I have quite a few in the music industry My friend, if you want to develop in that direction, I am willing to go the needle for you."

Anton: Mr. Men, don't you need to sleep at night?

And... the music circle, what's going on?

But it wasn't over yet, Mendes sent another message after a few minutes: "With such talent, Anton, you can be a little more 'arrogant', you have an unparalleled personality tonight, believe me, someone will be there tomorrow Started comparing you to Jose."

The "Jose" in Mendes' mouth is naturally his famous coach, the current head coach of Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho.

But Anton was still confused: Why is he still arrogant?

Then flip through the text messages, there are also those from the professor, Chloe, mother Joe, Russell, and even those from the group of bad friends who were doing research at the Danish University...

Anton raised his head. The two people on the opposite side had been secretly looking at Anton's expressions, but now they lowered their heads in unison. Eriksson quickly put a piece of mushroom into his mouth, while Messi "sucked it", Quickly swallowed a soft-boiled egg fried on one side on the plate.

Anton: Well...

He opened his Twitter account, tried his best to ignore the soaring number of fans and countless private messages, and went directly to find out what happened last night——

It turned out that someone uploaded several videos of the Black Cat Bar last night on the Internet, and it exploded immediately.Countless people retweeted it on Twitter, and several superstars in football who knew Anton all retweeted.

"Boss, you didn't tell us that you can play the guitar and sing, we don't know..." Eriksson laughed beside him.

Anton frowned and thought hard, guitar?Did he really play the guitar last night?

Singing or something, that's obviously a "childhood job"?

It seems that... it really played.

At that time, Sunderland fans were thinking about how to save money to support the team's European games.Anton felt touched at the time, so he borrowed a guitar from the bar and played and sang John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" for the fans in front of him.

"They made you feel small when you were born,

By exploiting the time that should be yours,

until the pain makes you numb,

Becoming a working class hero is the only option,

Come with me if you want to be a hero! "

Football is a working-class sport, with thousands of industrial workers in England laying the strongest foundations for the sport.Without the vast majority of blue-collar workers, the sport would not have thrived.Likewise, it is impossible to appreciate the essence of the sport without getting close to this group of people.

Sure enough, the song captured the hearts of all Sunderland fans.The scene immediately turned into a chorus of fans, with a section of Anton's guitar solo in the middle, with perfect fingering——

It turns out that the "music talent" mentioned by Mendes refers to this!

Anton couldn't help rubbing his temples.

But this is not over yet, someone in the Black Cat Bar mentioned the "Kaiserslautern Miracle", and they asked Anton loudly with prayers: "Anton, will you continue to bring us miracles?"

Before Anton promised them relegation, Sunderland was relegated; Anton promised them promotion and the FA Cup, and in the end they both got... But to reproduce the "Kaisers" back then The Lautern Miracle, a dream that seemed out of reach.

Sunderland...was it too presumptuous?

But according to Messi and Eriksson, the expression on Anton's face was "sly", the performance on the guitar was "amazing", and the effect was "explosive".He just changed the key slightly, and immediately played another Beatles song: a short passage from "Imagine".

"You can say I'm dreaming, but I'm not alone when I have dreams.

One day you will join me and let the world have the same dream. "

It was this paragraph that ignited the voices of all fans on the spot: Should dreams be laughed at?As long as you work hard, even if your dream fails to come true in the end, so what?It shouldn’t be just Anton or Sunderland who have dreams, it should be thousands of people who love football in the world...

This paragraph made the entire Black Cat bar boil. If the fans of Sunderland used to love the coach Anton, now they are completely in love with Anton——

This video was filmed in its entirety, posted on the Internet, and immediately hit the hot list that night—the whole world knew that Sunderland had a coach who could sing.

But it's not over yet!The popularity of Anton and Sunderland is far from reaching its peak here.

When Anton heard this, he also stared dumbfounded at the two boys in front of him.He himself couldn't remember anything.

"Boss, your rock music library is awesome, it's not built!" Eriksson gave Anton a thumbs up sincerely.Messi also looked at Anton with a grin, nodded and said: "It turns out that Anton is a "hardcore"." The Argentine expressed his admiration.

It turned out that after Anton played these "light rock" at the Black Cat Bar that night, he felt emotional and turned to hardcore metal. The bar owner personally launched a drum kit that had been useless for many years, and played for Anton every time. .As a result, one after another shocking songs were continuously played in the bar, Queen, Rolling Stones, Oasis... countless familiar songs, and countless fans joined in, and the Black Cat Bar finally became a fanatical rock on site.

Finally, when Anton jumped onto the bar, raised the guitar in his hand, and swung it to the ground, the atmosphere of the Black Cat Bar was pushed to the climax. After this video was posted on social media, there was a moment on Twitter silence.

This is subversive performance.

The whole world is at a loss for words.

Anton, who has always been gentle and refined, always appears in front of the world as a gentleman, but he didn't expect such a rock and roll monster to live in his heart.

Then, there was an unprecedented round of enthusiasm on social media.

Anton himself didn't have any impression of this. At this moment, he rubbed his temples, watched that crazy video, and thought with a wry smile: How much beer did I drink last night?

The author has something to say: UEFA’s official website has already started the pre-sale of tickets for next year’s European Cup. Interested babies can pay attention to it. The deadline will be July 7. After the deadline, it will be decided through lottery whether tickets can be bought.Time flies, this year is the America's Cup and Africa Cup, and next year is the European Cup.
