After the January page was removed from the calendar, Donn learned something new. The news made him very angry, but he couldn't express it to his face.

Evan? Dogety approached him and informed him that on February 4 and 5, he would lose his most trusted assistant for two days.

"It's that "Soccer Kid" draft again, right?" He snorted. He actually wanted to swear, the moment he heard Evan tell him about it. But just as he was about to do it, he thought of Mourinho, so he quickly calmed down.

He's not as arrogant as Jose Mourinho, and he's still well aware of whose club this club is. He didn't want to be perceived by Evan as "rebellious", which didn't do him any good. He didn't want to own the whole club, it didn't do him any good, it gave him a headache.

So he just snorted and expressed his displeasure.

Evan smiled: "In the final of this show, no one is more suitable to appear there than the Chinese Tang." Because he's ......"

Don nodded, "Yes, I know." He is a Chinese and an assistant coach of this team, and he has a good popularity in China, and the audience will be very happy to have a familiar oriental face appear on such an occasion...... This is actually a way to please the Chinese audience and the market. ”

"I've always said, Tony? Don is a very smart guy. Evan said with a grin, not in the slightest bit upset that Don had interrupted him.

This is what Evan likes more than Abramovich to Donn, he is really not as rich as the Russians, but because of this, he is a little smarter than the Russians......

Don knows that the temper of a person like himself is soft rather than hard, and the same is true for Mourinho. The way Evan grinned made him angry. But if he encounters a hard-line boss like Abramovich, Don will fight the other party to the end, and it's a big deal to break up.

"It's useless to compliment me, Evan......" Donn waved weakly, he was indeed unhappy about this matter, but not to the point of turning his face with the club owner over it. I think Alan is a bit in a hurry to do this, and some things are too anxious...... I'm afraid he'll lose later. ”

"I'll pass on your worries to him, Tony. Let's talk about it. In fact, so far, that talent show has been considered a success, with high ratings and good social impact. Of course, Evan said that the data was from China, but Donn doubted how much water was in it, and he cautiously agreed. Plus, you don't have to worry about delays for too long. Alan will go to China with Don, Don's job is very simple, he will come back when he is done, and Alan will be in charge of other things. It's just a two-day event, and it won't delay you much. He patted Donn on the shoulder.

Don shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Well, even if I don't agree, what can I do?" ”

"Thank you for your understanding and support, Tony. Finally, I wish you the best coach in the world. Evan held out his hand.

Don clapped his hands: "You said it last year. ”

"It doesn't hurt to say it more."

Evan went back satisfied, and Don sighed helplessly. Part-time workers, no way. But Don still insisted on the idea of not being the boss, he knew that he was not that material.

On February 2, at home, Nottingham Forest defeated West Ham United 1-0, because Manchester United was drawn by Tottenham Hotspur away, the gap between Forest and Manchester United was narrowed, and Arsenal, who won the goal, took the opportunity to complete the overtake and return to the top of the league.

More than halfway through the league, the competition for the league title is heating up.

Tang briefly packed up and set off again to fly back to China. Who made him Chinese? Originally, about the final ** of this talent show, it was planned to let Allen be the hidden boss, but Allen was clever and decided to make Tang, who is more acceptable and familiar to Chinese, complete this glorious task.

Regardless of Donn's factor, his choice is indeed very good and suitable.

Although he is an assistant coach, Tang already has a group of fans in China. These people liked and pursued Don, followed him, collected all the news about him. This may be due to the distorted environment of Chinese football - there is no point in worshipping players, just worshipping coaches.

Anyway, at present, Tang is indeed the Chinese football person who can give psychological comfort to the majority of Chinese fans abroad. With many foreigners in the doldrums, only Don remains strong in the Premier League's weekly dugout.

Therefore, from the perspective of pleasing the Chinese audience and the market, Tang is indeed the best choice for this trip to China.

And his job is really simple. On the day of the recording of the Grand Final, he appeared on the scene at the last minute and announced a result that surprised everyone...... over。

When Don sent Tang away, he repeatedly told him: "Come back when you finish the mission, don't delay coming back for two days this time like last time." You know, the penalty for being late is not for the players......"

Tang nodded: "Tang Jing won't go back this time." ”

"That's good." Don snorted from the inside of his nose. "Go early and come back early."

"9527" Chen Jian was having a "casual meal" with his partners who had been with him for more than three months.

Because of that fainting incident, he became famous in the show, and many viewers had a very good impression of this strong young man. However, it also made the number on his body at that time his new nickname, and he was often called by his friends to make fun of him. Of course, this is just one of his nicknames, Kenny the Englishman? Tsunsom likes to call him "Smiler" because his smile has left a deep impression on Sunsem, and not only that, but he is also very popular among TV viewers as a teenager who always likes to put a smile on his face.

Today, he sits with the other contestants drinking and eating. It was the last good dinner they had together, and they ran back to the restaurant en masse.

Of course, there were less than thirteen people sitting next to Chen Jian.

The finals training camp is very cruel, because the British dominate the training camp, so the selection criteria are only football level, not who is handsome, who can dance street dance and other boring tricks.

The British coaching staff has formulated a lot of training subjects for these Chinese football teenagers, and the assessment content is to complete these projects, each project is scored separately, and finally a comprehensive evaluation is taken.

This can ensure the fierce competition, so that the show has a higher suspense and can attract the audience more.

For example, some people can get high marks in skill subjects but lose in fitness scores. Some people are physically awe-inspiring, but their skills are slightly inferior. Some people are good at shooting and scoring, some like to assist their teammates, and some are in charge of defense. Everyone has something they are good at and what they are not good at. If it weren't for the coaches announcing the results, no one would have known if they would have won the final match.

In three months, they sent seven people away, and today they have to "send away" four more.

The reason for the quotation marks is that these eliminated people will not leave immediately, and the seven people who were eliminated before will also be invited back to participate in the recording of the last episode of the show.

Before this meal, Kenny? On the training ground, Sansem announced the names of the three lucky winners who would eventually reach the finals.

Wang Yang and Song Hui, as well as Chen Jian.

Once again, he went to the end.

In fact, after starting the training camp, Chen Jian was the "big favorite" who was eliminated. Because he is the only player among these fourteen people who has no professional training background, he is a real, pure amateur player, and his most brilliant resume is just the Sichuan Guangyuan City High School Football Cup Championship won by his high school football team.

But it was such an amateur player who made it all the way to the finals, became one of the top three, and had a chance to get one of the two tickets to the UK.

What's his secret? It's very simple, just four words - "diligence can make up for clumsiness".

It's not as good as other people's subjects, so I work hard to practice, spend twice as much time as others, and use my brain to figure out how to improve my performance in disadvantaged items and maintain my own advantageous items. For example, his skills and awareness are not as good as those of his professionally trained peers, but he has good physical fitness, good physical fitness, and speed. He was always first in every fitness test and speed test at the training camp, and his score in this event helped him finish in the top three.

At the same time, his grades in subjects that he is not good at are also steadily improving. The whole camp saw his progress. Especially Kenny? Sansem, he liked this hard-working kid very much.

In addition, Chen Jian began to practice English hard before he knew the results. The person next to him didn't understand this, and his answer was: "Anyway, I have to take the English test in college, even if I don't choose it, I don't have to worry about the English test......

The mentality is quite optimistic, which is good.

In this way, he was not favored every time, but he became one of the people who stayed in Changsha every time. Until this time, he had the worst result of the three, but he stayed and that's the win.

Wang Yang and Song Hui are the two most good-looking, from the beginning, so their selection is not surprising. Chen Jian is really a dark horse, coupled with his dark skin, so he also has a nickname, called "Prince of Dark Horses".

On the other side of the table stood a tall man with a beer glass in his hand: "I don't have much to say about any of the three of you who can go to England." For three months, we were all brothers. "This person speaks Mandarin with a northeast accent, and it is Zhao Rui from Dalian, the No. 7 contestant." Since they are brothers, so whoever can go to the UK is happy for my old Zhao, anyway, if he goes out, he represents us Chinese. But I still have to say more......" He looked at Chen Jian, who was still smiling at everyone.

“9527。” This is Chen Jian's most accepted nickname internally. "I'll obey you!" Zhao Rui gave a thumbs up with his other hand, "If you want to say what technology, level, my old Zhao may not be convinced." "This Zhao Rui is indeed qualified to say this, he is from the Dalian Shide Youth Team, the level is indeed very good, even if he is compared with Song Hui Wang Yang, it is only between the two middles, he was eliminated is really a little unlucky - on the most critical assessment day, he had a cold and high fever, and his performance was a mess...... When I came down, I hid in the bathroom and cried, and when I came out, I said with red eyes, "Isn't it just eliminated?" What's the big deal?"

"But I'll obey you! 9527！ I'm convinced! You're a gentleman! Pure! "Zhao Rui drank a little too much, and his mood was a little excited." Damn it...... Lao Tzu was wiped out with a cold and fever, and you can still pass the audition assessment. 10,000 people! None of them are as feverish and diarrhea as you...... Just rush this point, Lao Tzu will obey you! ”

Chen Jian was smiling all the time, he didn't know how to deal with such an enthusiastic companion, and this kind of naked compliment made him a little embarrassed. In fact, he knew how many pounds and taels he had......

"Forget it! Stop talking nonsense, let's do it...... Done! ”

Chen Jian stood up, clinked glasses with Zhao Rui, and then tilted his neck and poured down a glass of wine. He won Zhao Rui's praise again: "Good! Honestly! Upright! I like it! He threw his neck back, too.

Next, some other people clinked glasses to the three lucky winners in turn to congratulate, Chen Jian was poured a lot of wine, and he was a little dazed. In fact, even if he wasn't drunk, he was confused.

I can actually make it to the final three, and I have a chance to compete for one of those two places. Am I not dreaming? My level...... I'm not at this level yet, right? Although I did work a little harder than others, ...... Going to the UK...... Can I really? I'm not going to disgrace the Chinese after I go out, right?

Before, some people said that this draft is still a draft after all, and the business surname is too good to count. Even if they could eventually go to the UK, the clubs on the UK side didn't expect to pick a genius out on that basis. So the biggest possibility is that they complete the contract and let the two lucky Chinese guys train there for a year, and then go back where they come. At most, it's a glimpse of what real professional football is, broadening your horizons and enriching your life experience. Do you really want to rely on this to play professional football? Hey, buddy, wake up, it's dawn.

But who can sit here doesn't really want to make a name for themselves and play the professional football of their dreams? Even players like Chen Jian have such thoughts, let alone those who come from professional teams.

But when such an opportunity is really presented in front of them, they will still be a little scared...... I'm afraid that my level can't keep up with other people's requirements, and I come back after a year......

"Hey, what is a fool of a person? 9527！ Cheers! You're lucky, you're lucky...... "Someone came up to clink glasses again."

Yes, that's also a saying. Some people speculate why Chen Jian, who is obviously not strong, stays every time, and persevers until the end and gets the ticket to the finals. Is there any inside story?

It's a shame that there's no inside story. As a result, the "theory of luck" became active and quite marketable. The audience that supported the other players thought that Chen Jian's luck was too good...... You must know that the last match to decide who is the top three turned out to be a more lucky component - a penalty shootout!

The vast majority of people agree that the winner on penalties is not determined by their skill and awareness, or anything, but by pure luck. The audience will think so, and naturally there will be people among fellow competitors who will think so.

Chen Jian didn't care about the last two nagging words of this person, he raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with the other party.

Everyone drank very happily, Song Hui, Wang Yang and Chen Jian because they broke into the finals. And a few other people may want to use wine to drown their sorrows, or maybe they are really happy for them, or maybe they ...... What else are there to think, these don't matter anymore.

Anyway, there will be no more assessments when I go on the show tomorrow, so even if I have a hangover, there is nothing to worry about.

This is a casual meal, after today, when the program recording ends tomorrow, all the answers and suspense will be revealed.

Life must be happy, get drunk!
