On May 21, 1996, the final of the Anglo-African League play-offs was about to begin. The team was preparing, but unexpectedly Gary Horan came to the team bus in person. If it had been anyone else, Su Yun would not have said anything.
What.
But Gary Holland is older.
And he didn't look in good health either. Su Yun was really afraid of the old man, and he fainted when he was excited while watching the game. That's a really big sin.
"Sue, I want to see Dagenham enter the English League Three with my own eyes."
The old man looks very frail on the outside. The last time we met, he spoke slowly and calmly. I didn't expect that this time he spoke with full force.
Su Yun was stunned.
These are the fans.
"Mr. Holland, I guarantee that we will definitely be able to enter the English League Three."
"Okay, okay, okay." Gary Horan knocked on the crutch in his hand. "That boy in our family has never done anything that satisfies me since he was a child. Only letting you be the head coach of the club is my best choice.
satisfied."
Su Yun could only treat him in a low voice.
The old man was talking about his son, what could Su Yun say.
"Su, tell the players. As long as the team can be upgraded, I will give you 50,000 pounds as a reward."
Su Yun was shocked.
It's not that Su Yun has never seen money.
But fifty thousand pounds, which is not a small amount. Even on average, each person has about eighteen hundred pounds. If this amount of money is placed in the Premier League and English League One, it is completely a small amount. But for players from the English and African Leagues
To put it bluntly, this is a huge amount of money.
One thousand eight hundred pounds is more than half a year's salary for Dagenham's main players.
Su Yun really didn't expect the old man to be so generous.
Fifty thousand pounds, just take it out.
Even Su Yun can get a large bonus. Of course, Su Yun is not short of money, but the bonus that Su Yun can get is half a year's salary of Su Yun. A reward is not a big thing, but an incentive.
, a mood.
Su Yun nodded.
"Su, play well. Next season, I will spend half a million pounds for you to replenish the lineup."
Su Yun had too many surprises today.
Don't even know what to say.
At Dagenham, the entire club does not need one million pounds a year to spend. Now the old man has given half a million pounds to Su Yun as transfer funds. How generous this is.
Su Yun was overjoyed.
well.
Very good.
Gary Horan just came over to talk to Su Yun and encourage Su Yun and the team. After speaking, he left the bus. Of course he would not take the bus with the team, but would have his own car. Look.
After Gary Holland left, Su Yun returned to the bus.
This bus was specially rented by the club because the finals were to be played.
"I have good news for you."
Su Yun looked at the players who were busy doing their own thing and shouted to attract their attention.
good news?
All the players were looking at Su Yun. Could it be that the opponents in this final had collective food poisoning?
"The guy you just met is the big boss of our club." Gary Holland is the big boss of the club. But few of these players have seen him. After all, he has not appeared in the club for many years.
among.
"He just told me that if we win this game, then he will give us an upgrade bonus of 50,000 pounds. It's 50,000 pounds!"
"Oh oh oh——, long live!"
"good!"
These players were overjoyed when they heard about the bonus of 50,000 pounds.
The salary of these British and African League players is just enough to support themselves. Now I heard that there is a bonus of 50,000 pounds, of course I am very excited.
professional player?
This means people who make a career out of playing football. Most of them play football for only one purpose, and that is to make money. Money is the most important stimulation for them.
This bonus has increased the morale of the team many times.
Su Yun also began to reflect in his heart.
The role of money cannot be ignored. Look at the role of bonuses, they are more useful than Su Yun's bragging.
…………
Soon the team headed for the finals.
The final of the England-Africa League promotion play-offs will be held at Wembley Stadium.
At the beginning, even Su Yun was shocked. Su Yun had been in England for half a year and actually knew only a limited number of golf courses.
There are two famous stadiums. One is Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, which is considered the Theater of Dreams by British football. The other is Anfield, the home of Liverpool. Anfield is the stadium of Liverpool, the largest club in England.
, are very famous in the minds of English fans. These two stadiums are the ones Su Yun heard about the most after arriving in England.
Another stadium is Newcastle's St. James Park. This is because Williams was once a player from Newcastle's youth academy, so Su Yun knew about it.
But no matter how famous these stadiums are, they can't compare to another stadium.
That's Wembley Stadium.
This is England's national stadium. Su Yun heard about this stadium not long after arriving in the UK.
What is famous? Wembley Stadium is famous.
Wembley Stadium has a history of more than 70 years. At the beginning, it had more than 120,000 seats. Later it reduced some seats, but it still has 89,000 seats. This is currently the largest in England.
, one of the best courses.
Su Yun never thought that he would play at Wembley Stadium.
Wembley Stadium is really beautiful.
The Dagenham players were dumbfounded. They had never thought that they would have the opportunity to play at Wembley Stadium. Looking at the majestic Wembley Stadium, they were all stunned.
However, after entering the stadium, Su Yun was a little dissatisfied.
Very dissatisfied.
Why the game is at Wembley Stadium.
From the initial excitement, after entering the stadium, my mood plummeted.
Because in a stadium with 90,000 people, the total number of fans from both sides is only 10,000. This number of fans is too small. If it is a small stadium, then the weight of these fans is enough.
But in a stadium as big as Wembley, looking at such a small number of fans, Su Yun was in a bad mood.
How can we compete with this?
Didn't expect that.
Big stadium, few fans. No matter how you look at it, it feels awkward.
