613. Reunion of old friends
When the old father-in-law mentioned Bournemouth, Wensheng instantly thought of his friend Eddie Hao, who were classmates! He had always had a close relationship. In the last round, he also gave him text messages to congratulate him. In this round, he sent him text messages to congratulate him. Why didn’t he think that he would come to Bournemouth? He had to meet his friends and drink with him no matter how he said that!
You know, both of them are very busy on weekdays and don’t have time to get together.
"I remember you asked me to coach at Bournemouth? How about it?! Eddie is not bad!" Wen Sheng teased his father-in-law.
These are all old things.
"Ha, you can't compare to him!" Old Williams admired Eddie Hao so much now.
Wensheng almost coughed up all the water, and he raised his thumbs up and said, "Well, I just like your honest personality!"
"I'm right! You are too erratic and have no sense! Look, Eddie has been here for almost ten years! Oh, I mean being the head coach, as for the player era, it's even longer! Can you do it?! You can't! You can't stay in Crystal Palace for ten years, you can't stay in Manchester City for ten years, and you still won't stay in other teams in the future!" said Old Williams.
OK, I'm asking for trouble, Wen Shengxin said, but what others said makes sense, but if it were him, he might not be able to stay for such a long time. This is too harsh and he will lose patience.
Eddie Howe has true love for Bournemouth, and Wensheng has true love for Crystal Palace, but true love is also of degree.
Wensheng really doesn't think he is worthy of Eddie Hao.
Eddie Howe debuted in Bournemouth youth training when he was a player. He played for Bournemouth for eight years for the first time.
When he was 25, in 2002, Redknapp, who was coaching at the English Championship Portsmouth, fell in love with him and spent £400,000 to buy him from Bournemouth.
Unfortunately, Eddie How is a player's luck is really bad. In his first season for Portsmouth, he suffered a serious injury and was reimbursed in the second game.
The second year he recovered from injury and returned. He played on the court and relapsed. He was recuperating for 18 months and suddenly turned from a young seed player to a hot potato. After Portsmouth recovered from his injury, he wanted to send him away. He thought he was just a bad guy. Not only did he spend £400,000 to transfer fees, he also wasted too much salary.
Who dared to take care of Eddie Howe's condition at that time? He was seriously injured twice in his knee, which was very fatal, so later he was still the old boss Bournemouth and was willing to accept him.
Portsmouth is naturally not Manchester City, and it is rich and powerful. Wen Sheng sent some players away for free when he took office, so Portsmouth still needs the transfer fee, not much, more than 20,000 pounds, which is 20 times less than two years ago.
Bournemouth couldn't take out this money because they encountered a serious financial crisis. In order to sign Eddie Howe back, Bournemouth fans became Eddie shares and together raised more than 20,000 pounds to buy Eddie Howe back.
Williams, the old donated money, but unfortunately Eddie Howe retired after playing more than 50 games for Bournemouth. Williams was still quite unhappy and felt that the money was not worth spending.
But Eddie Howe's efforts over the years have made Old Williams feel.
Eddie Howe's love for Bournemouth, well, Wen Sheng is willing to give up on the disadvantage.
"I'm willing to give in to the disadvantage!" Wen Sheng was "forced" by his father-in-law and nodded.
"Haha, don't care, you're nothing wrong with it! When doing work, being happy is the most important thing! If you stay there and no longer feel happy, leaving is the most correct choice!"
OK, you have to say all the good and bad things, and it will be easy to leak.
Wensheng called Eddie Hao and heard that Wensheng came to Bournemouth. Eddie Hao was very happy and told Wensheng that he had time to meet and chat together. He said that he had something to ask Wensheng for advice.
It was about ten o'clock in the evening, and Wensheng and Eddie Hao met at a small bar.
It seems that Eddie Howe may be a regular visitor here. Many people greeted him, and some people recognized Wensheng, but they did not show any excitement.
Wen Sheng guessed secretly that his charm was probably not great enough. If it were Beckham, it might be different.
"I often come here to drink when I was a player!" Eddie Hao explained to Wensheng.
Wensheng nodded, then smiled, "Congratulations, I will be in the Premier League next year!"
At the end of April, Bournemouth, led by Eddie Howe, set a promotional quota, and then in early May they secured the league title again.
"A wife who has been married for many years has become a mother-in-law!" Eddie Hao still had a lot of compassion in his laughter.
No wonder he was proud. According to Bournemouth's conditions, it was actually Eddie Howe's ability, and there were too many magical halos in it.
Some people say that Wensheng is amazing at Crystal Palace, and Eddie Howe is not as good as Wensheng in Bournemouth.
But this thing is incomparable. Crystal Palace itself is bigger than Bournemouth. Its foundation is obvious. Even if it sells many people and is on the verge of bankruptcy, its strength is not comparable to Bournemouth. Creating miracles often requires prerequisites. Crystal Palace's hard conditions are better than Bournemouth.
"By the way, Daniel! I just happened to want to ask you for experience! This is my first experience in the Premier League! I really don't have much confidence in my heart!" Eddie Hao really regarded Wensheng as his best friend, otherwise he would not have said this in front of Wensheng.
"I'll fulfill my wish to be able to show off with you next season!" Eddie Howe said this before stopping his mouth.
"Okay, man! I'm afraid your wish will be disappointed!" Wen Sheng explained everything to Eddie Hao in a low voice. He told Eddie Hao that he might leave the football world for a while and take a year or two before going out to work.
Eddie Howe looked very sorry, "Why don't you keep staying there? In the past, we were all friendly matches. I haven't fought with you with real swords and guns!"
But then he asked Wensheng again: "The pressure at Manchester City must be very high!"
"This is inevitable!" Wensheng nodded, and he also reminded Eddie Howe, "Eddie, the situation will be completely different in the Premier League. For example, the media will pay a lot of attention! A young head coach like you will definitely be the focus of attention of the media!"
"Sometimes they can bring you to the cloud, and sometimes they can kick you to hell! I know that the media has a lot of reports on the Championship, but the influence of the Premier League is different. From next season, your name will spread to the whole world! So they pay more attention to you!"
"I think the first thing you need to deal with when you go to the Premier League is the media popularity issue!"
Chapter completed!
