114. Gala Dinner
"We just wanted to stay in the relegation zone, but the guys were so good. One day someone said you could try it and see if you can get promoted! Wow! We thought maybe we could actually give it a try! Now we've done it, thank you guys so much
! And our lovely fans, I know they are behind us in every game!" Wen Sheng recalled happily.
If his uncle Wayne hadn't talked about the standings and encouraged Wen Sheng to look forward, to be honest, Wen Sheng might not have even thought about upgrading, at least not at that time.
After all, Wayne also made great contributions.
"Daniel, you have led Crystal Palace to complete unimaginable tasks. Now many people regard you as a genius. What do you think of this?" Jordan Miles asked.
Wen Sheng's popularity during this period does not need to be described in many words. He is really too young, too young, so he is naturally the target of criticism. Some time ago, someone actually compared Wen Sheng with Clough.
When Cheryl placed this flattering news in front of Wen Sheng, Wen Sheng wanted to kill the reporter who wrote such a painful article---Matthew Williamson.
Clough is the same Brian Clough who led Nottingham Forest to promotion and won the top league championship, and then won the Champions League trophy in the third and fourth years.
This old man is really awesome. He is the greatest head coach in the history of English football. He is one of the greatest managers. Even Sir Alex Ferguson and other coquettish figures cannot look up to him.
How could Wen Sheng and He De reach such a height?! Wen Sheng himself had also imagined that he could be awesome, but he knew very well that the environment was completely different, and the possibility of the next Clough in England was basically zero.
Wen Sheng can boast that he is a genius in private, but he will not comment on himself in public unless he is like Mourinho or Guardiola.
Jordan Myers' question just gave Wen Sheng a chance to clarify himself.
Wen Sheng said to the camera with a smile: "There is no genius! I am just an ordinary person. When I was a child, I played football at the Croydon Youth Academy. When I grew up, I gave up football because of a serious foot injury.
After that, I determined to be a coach. Before taking over the team, I held several youth coaching jobs and I learned a lot!"
"I should spend a lot more time on football than ordinary people, so I am not a genius, I am just more attentive, and the team has a group of great players, we have achieved good results!"
After Wen Sheng defended himself, he cast a grateful look at Jordan Miles. Miles was a little baffled. When he asked this question, he was really either trying to give Wen Sheng a ladder or he was curious about Wen Sheng’s inner world. He thought that at this moment, Wen Sheng was
This is the peak moment for more than half a year. I am emotional and will reveal my true feelings.
After thinking about it, Miles combined all the things he had learned about Wen Sheng before and suddenly understood that Wen Sheng was treating him as a shill!
Reporters quickly turned their questions to Wen Sheng's contract extension. Logically speaking, Wen Sheng is not qualified to be the head coach of a Premier League team, but Parish has already spoken out that Wen Sheng will definitely be the next season, and he is not afraid.
Reporters must believe the FA's slap in the face.
However, there has been no progress in renewing the contract. Everyone is curious whether Wen Sheng talks one thing but acts another, or maybe Parrish is like that.
"I have made my attitude clear on the contract renewal issue. I am very willing to stay in the team! The specific matters are being negotiated by Pini and the club. If you have any questions, you can ask him!" This is not the first time reporters have asked this question.
, Wen Sheng's nephew lit a lantern - as usual, he easily passed the question to Zahavi.
It's really great to have Zahavi as an agent. This old man has a bit of a miraculous attitude, and it's really not that easy for reporters to interview him.
Then another reporter asked about the transfer. Wen Sheng did not push it this time, but publicly hinted at it.
"Now is not the right time to talk about transfer. I think it would be more appropriate to wait a few days to talk! You should not forget that today is a good day for us to celebrate our upgrade! I have been here for a long time! So I want to withdraw!"
Wen Sheng was serious at first, and then smiled playfully.
Reporters are all smart people, and they all understand that Wen Sheng did not have the transfer rights under Carlton before. Now that Wen Sheng said this, everyone immediately understood that Wen Sheng wanted to seize the transfer rights.
Some reporters even speculated that there has been no progress in the regularization negotiations. Could it be that power over transfers is the biggest difference between the club and Wen Sheng?!
If you make up your stories well, you will definitely get some attention-grabbing news tomorrow.
The World Cup hasn't started yet, but Wensheng's news can still attract some attention.
…
There is nothing more satisfying than winning the FA Cup, being promoted to the league, double happiness.
Parish had booked a dinner at the Prince of Croydon Hotel early. This dinner was the first banquet he and his partners had hosted since they took over the Crystal Palace. It included celebrities, first-team players, coaching staff,
Club managers at all levels, team stars, etc. will all attend.
Of course, even if there is no upgrade today, this dinner will still be held, but there is one less item to celebrate, and everyone's mood may be greatly affected.
The game ended early, so the players were fully able to participate. Everyone would be on vacation in one day, so there was something special about holding the dinner on the night of the game.
Wen Sheng didn't like such an occasion very much. Before the dinner started, his uncle Wayne took him and introduced him to the mayor for a while, and then introduced the speaker to introduce him to the congressmen. Wen Sheng forced himself to smile for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Uncle, I don't want to leave. I need to eat now! I yelled all afternoon and I'm almost starving! Besides, why do I know them?! What good does it do to me?!"
Wayne smiled, "Danny, to be precise, there's no fucking benefit to you knowing them! It's true for you! But what I want to say is that they want to know you!"
Wen Sheng was stunned.
"Do you think I want to take you around?! They have already told me that they want to get to know you, want to say hello to you! Do you want them to come to see you?!" Wayne was careless. After all, he is a regional politician, of course he still
It would be better for uncle and nephew to run errands.
Wen Sheng understood and couldn't help but curse. This was also the consequence of becoming famous.
But this matter could not disgrace his uncle, so he insisted on finishing it.
"Some of them are just borrowing your reputation!" Wayne also couldn't figure out why his nephew became the favorite of politicians at this dinner, but after hearing Wen Sheng's awkward chat with those people just now, Wayne also couldn't figure out why.
I understand what these people think.
"You are now very famous all over the country, let alone in Croydon. If you don't put on a disguise when you walk on the street, you will be recognized in less than a minute!" Wayne laughed.
"You know that there are many immigrant residents in this area, and you are also of Chinese descent. As a role model like you who stands out, you may have a great influence on the immigrant residents! They may want to use your reputation to win votes! Hand over to you in advance
Always a thing that doesn’t do any harm!”
After all, Wayne saw things very clearly.
After hearing what Wen said, Wen Sheng suddenly felt dizzy. He didn't want to get involved in politics, and he didn't want to help you guys canvass votes.
"No need! I will definitely not be contaminated by those things! I just want to be my coach quietly! That's all!" Wen Sheng waved his hand.
Wayne nodded, "If you don't want to involve those things, don't involve them! It's not a big deal, no one can do anything to you!"
When the dinner officially began, Parrish stood on the stage with Browett, Long, Hoskin and other club executives, and Parrish delivered a speech on behalf of his partners.
Wen Sheng was very satisfied with the speech, very satisfied.
In his speech, Parish first and most emphatically thanked the soldiers of the first team. He said that the soldiers have completed incredible tasks and brought surprise and joy to the fans.
He did not thank the government or parliament, but merely politely welcomed the guests on behalf of the club.
Wen Sheng felt strange at first. After all, if the government and parliament had not worked hard behind the scenes, the Crystal Palace might really have been destroyed.
Chapter completed!
