World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 86 Dismissal (4K Update)

Modu, the training base of the Sanjin team.

In the head coach's office, two people are arguing fiercely.

"Zhou Tao, you are the captain, you should set an example for your teammates instead of taking the lead in making trouble!" A thin but sharp-eyed middle-aged man roared angrily, but there was a trace of fatigue that could not be concealed in his expression.

All Chinese fans, no one is not familiar with this person.He is the famous local coach known as "Guardiola of China", Zhu Tong, the coach of the Shanghai Three Golden Team.

Zhu Tong became famous at a young age, and he was a representative of the technical flow in the player era, and he dominated football.After retiring, he took charge of the coach, and in terms of style, he pursued Guardiola's beautiful football.

The team he coaches has a gorgeous style and smooth offense. It is really a clear stream in Huaguo football. In the past few years, his team had a good record in the Chinese Super League.

It's just that at this moment, he was full of anger, roaring hysterically, how could he still have the demeanor of a famous commander who was calm and calm.

"Because I'm the captain, I represent my brothers to present reasonable demands to the club! I'm almost out of food, how can I play this ball?" Another person was not to be outdone, and his tone was tough.

Zhu Tong took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible:
"Zhou Tao, you are an old team member,

If I remember correctly, you entered the first team at the age of 18, and now you have been in the team for 17 years!

You've been through ups and downs with the team, highs and lows, becoming a household name, captaining the team and being part of the national team before.

All this is brought to you by the team!

After so many years, your net worth is not cheap even in Shanghai!

The team is encountering some difficulties now, but the more we get to this time, the more we should firmly support the team!Without the team, we would have everything without you and me. We can't hold back at this time and be traitors! "

Hearing that the coach softened his tone, Zhou Tao was no longer tough, but his emotions were still a little agitated.

"Coach! You are a few years older than me, and you have always been my big brother in my heart! I was also kicked out by you. Don't you know what kind of person I am?

Looking at me, this is also a person who is about to retire. If it is only for myself, will I come to the club for money?
I am for the brothers in the team!

They have to eat!They and their families have to survive!

Liu’s father was in a car accident some time ago and was hospitalized. He spent tens of thousands a day in the ICU, and now he has spent millions!
Xiaohou and his girlfriend have been talking about getting married for several years, but the wedding has been postponed again and again. Isn't it because he can't afford a house in Shanghai and his mother-in-law looks down upon him?

What we play football is the meal of youth. To put it bluntly, what we earn in our whole life is the money of these ten years!Now even this little money is still delayed.

If it's just a temporary difficulty, everyone can bear it!But when will such a day end!
The winning bonus has not been issued since last year!We put up with it!Training allowance, I haven't seen a penny since this year!We also put up with it!

But now it’s been so long, even the basic living expenses are not paid, so let everyone go to drink the northwest wind? "

The more Zhou Tao talked, the more excited he became. In the end, the eyes of this tall and thick man were filled with tears.

Zhu Tong remained silent. It's not that he didn't know these things, but he was just a coach in charge of training and competitions, and he had no right to interfere in the club's financial management.

Even he himself has not received a salary for several months.

After a long while, Zhu Tong said slowly, "Don't worry about this matter, I'll go to the club. At least let them pay a month's salary first, so that everyone can take a breather."

"Hehe" Zhou Tao laughed, very coldly, "Coach, no, Brother Tong, don't lie to me, if the guys in the management can be persuaded by you, we won't be reduced to where we are now!
I know that the salary arrears that were reissued a few months ago was paid in advance by you personally, and the club has not given you an explanation so far.

To put it bluntly, how many nails can you drive with iron all over your body?Your hard-earned money can't fill holes in the club every time!
We have already decided to force the club, if the money is not received tomorrow, then all our players will stop training!If the matter is still not resolved, then we will strike! "

"Nonsense!" Zhu Tong reprimanded loudly.

"Do you know what it means to strike out for training?

All conflicts will be made public, and at that time it will only be a dead end, and there will be no room for change!
There is indeed a problem with the capital chain of the team's investors. It is said that they are negotiating an equity transfer. Now is the key point of the negotiation. If you stop training and strike now, it is a big scandal!If this deal is not done well, it will be ruined!

Even if the transaction is not affected, what will you do in the future?The club will never condone such behavior!Afterwards, I will definitely kill everyone to make an example of others!Have you thought about it for yourself! "

Zhou Tao smiled miserably, "I'm about to retire, do I still care about being made an example of others by the club?

As long as I can get justice for my brothers, it doesn't matter if I'm fired now!
You said just now that I am an old man of the team, and I have to consider the overall situation of the team. I am a rough person. I only know that if this continues, the team's support will be completely lost!
If you are downgraded, it will be too difficult to fight back!
To tell you the truth, I have already been approached many times. As long as I score the score they want in the game, the money is not a problem at all.

However, I am a professional player, so I still have some conscience and integrity!Even if I die, I will not trade the reputation of the team for profit!
But, Brother Tong, it's really difficult in the team!If those people can find me, they will definitely find other people. I can barely restrain the brothers now, but after a long time, I really can't guarantee what will happen to others!
I really have no choice but to make such a bad move for the sake of the team! "

Zhu Tong gasped.Has the situation deteriorated to such a point?
Match-fixing?It is no different from the dp on the green field, it is the temptation of the devil, once it is contaminated, it will never be able to get rid of it!Sooner or later, his reputation will be ruined, and his reputation will last forever.

There is no longer any delay!Zhou Tong was already extremely anxious, but he still suppressed his emotions and said to Zhou Tao: "Leave this matter alone! I'll talk to the club! We must have an explanation today!
You keep an eye on the brothers, no matter what, there is no match-fixing in my team! "

He reached out and patted Zhou Tao's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Zhou Tao, I know, talking about the overall situation now is nonsense that can't solve any practical problems! But, for the sake of the team, please trust me again! Help me, please!"

Feeling the strength on his shoulders, Zhou Tao was silent for a while, then nodded emphatically, "Brother Tong, I hope you won't let the brothers down again this time."

Half an hour later, the office of the general manager of the Three Gold Club in Shanghai.

Zhu Tong leaned back on the back of the sofa with a slumped face, staring blankly at the ceiling.

And behind the desk opposite him, a middle-aged man in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses was still chattering.

"...Director Zhu, the club will attach great importance to the situation you reported.

Now is the critical period of equity transfer negotiations. I hope that all coaches and players will focus on the overall situation. If anyone dares to make trouble at this time, the club will definitely show no mercy and will not tolerate it!
If there is a suspected match-fixing situation, the club will immediately report it to the relevant departments, and what awaits them will be severe legal punishment! "

"Enough!" Zhu Tong suddenly growled, interrupting the other party's chatter.

The other party looked at Zhu Tong in surprise, not understanding why this always refined young marshal suddenly lost his temper regardless of his status.

Zhu Tong's eyes were red, and his muscles trembled slightly because of the great anger.

"I've been talking for a long time, but you haven't grasped the point at all?!

What is the key?It's wage arrears!

The arrears of wages have seriously affected the team's fighting spirit and morale!If the club can't come up with a solution, the team will have big problems!
When people lose their minds, the team is finished!
As for the people you mentioned who are going to cause trouble, to be honest, I think they are the backbone of the team. Without them, the team would be in chaos now! "

"Isn't it the head coach's responsibility to maintain the stability of the team?" the man with glasses said coldly, and a stern look flashed behind the glasses.

"The team's current record is not good, and people's hearts are fluctuating. I'm afraid the coach is also to blame."

Murder and kill!
Under normal circumstances, if the team does not win, the most direct person responsible is the head coach!

However, the situation of the Sanjin team is special. Everyone knows the reasons for the team's dismal record.But at this time, the club management dumped the blame on the head coach.

"Pa" Zhu Tong slapped the table angrily, the water cup on the table vibrated violently, and the tea spilled all over the table.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Tong asked angrily.

The man in glasses was not angry, and took a tissue to clean the table without haste.

After adjusting his glasses, he said calmly: "Director Zhu, you have worked in the club for many years and have made great contributions to the team. The whole club is very grateful for your efforts.

Under your leadership, the team has achieved brilliant success, but the record in the past two years has not been satisfactory. "

A layer of flush appeared on Zhu Tong's bronze-colored face, the veins on his forehead were exposed, his muscles trembled all over his body, and he tried hard to suppress his anger.

For a coach, the most unbearable thing is that others question his coaching ability.

Zhu Tong became famous when he was young, and he was proud and arrogant. After so many years of experience, although he restrained his edge, the arrogance in his bones was indelible.What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see the reason for the current situation of the team, and it has nothing to do with the level of coaching!
Not to mention that he is the Guardiola of Huaguo, even if he is close to Gua Shuai himself, he will not be any better than he is now.

The problem of the team no longer belongs to the category of competitive sports.

Zhu Tong argued angrily: "Is it my Zhu Tong's responsibility for the team's poor record? What roles did the management and investors play in it? You..."

The man with glasses waved his hand and impatiently interrupted Zhu Tong's defense.

"Let's not discuss the division of responsibilities today. The problem lies here, and it doesn't make much sense to pursue responsibility. The key is how to solve it!

Director Zhu, let me tell you the truth. Now the equity transfer negotiation is not going very smoothly.New investors have doubts about the team's performance.You also know that the shell of the first league and the shell of the second league are not the same concept, and the price is very different.

Therefore, the team's top priority is to avoid relegation, at least to let potential investors see the team's determination and courage to fight back. "

"So, just use me!" Zhu Tong angrily interrupted the other party's smooth talk.

"Hey, Director Zhu, don't get emotional. As I said just now, we are not looking for anyone to be held accountable. It's the end of the matter and we have to do this.

It is said that changing a coach is like changing a knife. You are one of the highest-level coaches in China, but now it is popular to hire foreign teachers. Foreign monks can chant scriptures. Maybe they can bring something different to the team, don’t you think so? "

God wants to kill me, it is not a crime of war!Zhu Tong shook his head and smiled wryly.I have been in the domestic football world for a long time, and many things are self-evident.

If the team is in a mess, someone has to take the blame; if the negotiations don't go well, someone has to take the blame.The management will not take the knife on themselves, so this blame can only be carried by him as the head coach.

As for hiring foreign teachers, that is purely a trick to fool laymen.No matter how high-level the coach is, without in-depth understanding, systematic training and transformation, it is impossible to remake the team in a short period of time.

Moreover, now that the team's hearts are fluctuating and the undercurrent is raging, I can still try my best to maintain it here. If an outsider who is not familiar with the situation is replaced, it is likely to be completely chaotic.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhu Tong no longer argues, but stands up calmly, straightens his clothes, and instantly returns to that gentle and elegant young marshal.

"How long do I have?"

The man with glasses looked at Zhu Tong in surprise, not understanding why the other party was so wronged and humiliated, yet he could still deal with it calmly, neither humble nor overbearing, so he couldn't help but also praised his extraordinary bearing from the bottom of his heart.

"Guide Zhu, don't get me wrong, I admire your personality and coaching ability from the bottom of my heart..."

Zhu Tong waved his hand slightly, and said, "I don't need to say polite words, I just want to know the club's next plan. No matter what, I have feelings for this team, and I will definitely stand on the last post."

The man with glasses was slightly moved, thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth, "The club has already made preliminary intentions, and has made preliminary contact with a team of English foreign teachers. It is estimated that the contract will be signed within two or three weeks. I hope you can continue to lead the team during this period. Of course, these situations are confidential, please keep them secret."

Zhu Tong did not answer, but made one last request: "I have one condition"

"You say"

"The team will issue a one-month salary first, so that the players can get through this period first"

"But, there is really no funds in the team account!"

"You don't have to worry about that. I'll pay in advance. I sold the property on Hengchang Road. It should be enough for the player's salary this month. Please give the rest to Liu in the name of the club. His father is hospitalized and needs money urgently."

The man with glasses was extremely shocked, and blurted out, "At this time, you still want to advance their salary?"

"I'm not for the club, but for those brothers! They are still young and have a long way to go. I don't want them to take risks because of the club and do something they regret for the rest of their lives!"

After speaking, Zhu Tong strode out of the office without looking back.
