Chapter 5: We will not downgrade

Chapter 5, we won't be downgraded

　　 The trees outside the car window quickly retreated, the pastures along the way were full of cattle and sheep, and the green wheat on the farm swayed with the breeze.

　　 It's already the second day. He is sitting on the short-distance bus from London to Luton. In the window seat, the new Luton coach Gao Bo is looking out the window.

　　 What does it take to be the head coach of a team?

　　 This seems to be nonsense, but this is what Gao Bo is currently thinking about.

Gao Bo doesn't think that everything will be fine if he has a system. As the head coach of a team, he needs to manage the team, he needs to arrange training plans, he needs to direct the game, he needs to balance the locker room, and he needs to bring in suitable players. ....

　　 All of this is not something that can be done with a few cards.

　　 Gao Bo has two different life experiences, but in fact he does not have the work experience of a head coach.

　　 This life Gao Bo stayed in school until he got a master's degree at the age of 26, and then got a coaching certificate. After that, he found a job as an echelon coach at Chelsea. Echelon coach and team coach are completely different concepts.

　　 Therefore, for this new job, Gao Bo has maintained the utmost caution. To some extent, this is the most critical step for him to enter the career of football coach!

　　 Become the head coach of a team, then lead the team to good results and accumulate reputation for yourself.

　　 Prestige is one of the most critical factors in the football coaching industry. When Mourinho took over the luxurious division created by the Russian Abramovich with the aura of the Champions League champion, he can say that he is a special one-he has this qualification because he is a Champions League champion, he is The best European coach of the year.

　　 If you change to an unknown person, say this in the star-studded Chelsea, the Chelsea stars must be scornful.

　　 Last night, Gao Bo flipped through a lot of information about Luton.

　　 Luton is located in southern England, close to London. And this team named after the city was founded in 1885, nicknamed "TheHatters (hat seller from Luton's early history of hat making. In the early years, Luton mostly competed in the low division leagues. Since being promoted to the old first division in 1982, Luton has competed in the top league in England for ten years. After being relegated in 1992, his performance has gone from bad to worse. Luton was relegated from the British Championship in the 2006/07 season, and then downgraded to the next level to the British League B competition the following year. Because he failed to resolve financial difficulties, 30 points have been deducted in the opening season.

　　 was deducted 30 points at the beginning, which almost allowed Luton to lock up a relegation spot before the season started!

However, from the information provided by David Morton, after a large number of the club's main players have been sold, the team's salary space and financial problems have basically been resolved, and even David Morton promised to provide the team with 20 Ten thousand pounds of transfer funds.

Now think about it, despite the 30 deductions, the situation of the team has basically stabilized. Even if the strength is greatly weakened, at least there is no financial problem... To some extent, Luton was downgraded from Grade A to Grade B. After selling a large number of main players, his strength is very late even in Grade B...

　　 Using such a team to play in the second division is not an ordinary challenge.

　　 The scenery outside the car window has gradually changed from farmland and pasture to colorful and beautiful bungalows, and it is getting closer and closer to Luton Town.

　　 Gao Bo took a deep breath. Such beautiful scenery made him feel good, and his originally nervous mood was immediately filled with ambition.

　　 The bus drove Gao Bo winding into Luton.

　　 This is a typical small English town with a population of only about 160,000 people. It has narrow streets and low, red-painted houses.

The accommodation Luton arranged for Gao Bo was in an apartment about five to six hundred meters near their home stadium, Knilvoir Stadium. A short walk along a path lined with plane trees on both sides is where Luton is located. The Luton office building at the Nielvostra Stadium.

　　 said it was an office building, but it was actually a small two-story building with several offices, a gym, and a rehabilitation room.

　　 Such crude conditions, naturally, cannot be compared with a big team like Chelsea.

　　Nilwo Si Stadium can accommodate about 10,000 people. There is only one floor of the grandstand, no ceiling, and the seats of the grandstand are uniformly painted in sky blue. The grass on the court is probably due to inadequate mowing after the end of the season.

　　 There is also a stadium without stands on the Maple Leaf Road about two to three hundred meters near the stadium, which is rented by the team as a training ground.

"That's the "Knilvo Idea Stand"" In the stadium, David Morton pointed to one of the stands and said, "The opposite is the "Oak Tree Road Stand", the left is the "Main Stand", and the right? David Price stands? "

　　 David Morton is as precious as a family.

　　 Gao Bo glanced at the boss of his age next to him.

　　 "I heard you are American?"

　　 "The nationality is American, but I am also from Luton." David Morton turned his head. "This is my mother's team. When I was a child, I often followed her to watch football in the Knilvoir stand."

　　 "Now is the most dangerous time for Luton, Gao Bo." David Morton has a hint of earnestness in his eyes For him, Gao Bo is his life-saving straw. "I know that there is little hope of relegation this season, but I think next season, can we return to the second division? Luton should continue to stay in the professional system."

　　 Gao Bo looked at his boss, his eyes lightened: "We will not be downgraded!"

　　 "What did you say?" Morton didn't seem to hear clearly.

　　 "I said, we won't be downgraded!"

　　 David Morton was silent for a moment. Almost everyone said that Luton is a team that will definitely be relegated, even the hardest Luton fans have to admit this.

Most of the main players have left, and even the players with some strength in the reserve team have gone on their own. In order to solve the financial difficulties, David Morton is already exhausted, and in the next period of time he wants to introduce any strength It's also unlikely that the players of…-First of all, he can only put together a transfer fund of 200,000 pounds. Who can buy this money?

If someone else says this, David Morton might think that the other person is just comforting himself, but when he sees the brilliance in the eyes of a coach of his age, David Morton must admit , This is a guy who is absolutely confident in himself.

　　 is like... Mourinho? !

　　 David Morton suddenly looked forward to it.

　　 "Regardless of relegation or relegation, I will not pressure you this season, I promise!" David Morton stretched out his fist.

　　 Gao Bo also stretched out his fists, and the two fists touched together.

　　 The sunlight came in obliquely from above the stadium stands, and gently sprinkled on the lawn.

　　 The young boss.

　　 The young head coach.

　　 The two shadows were stretched by the sun.
