Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 255

Throughout the weekend, the media in England were racing to report that Chelsea had fired coach Ancelotti because of their 1-2 loss to Manchester United.Sunderland went to Bolton away to play, but no one paid attention.

Of course, this may also be due to the disparity between Bolton and the current Sunderland. The media believe that even if Sunderland loses half of the team, Bolton will not be able to make trouble under Anton's nose.Instead of staring at Sunderland, it is better to continue squatting at Stamford Bridge to see what other breaking news will appear.

Anton's team rushed to Horwich, where Bolton Football Club is located, and after arriving at the Reebok Stadium, the players and coaching staff took their positions and started preparing for the match.

At this time, Anton accidentally received an overseas call, and only after answering did he realize that it was actually from Ronaldo.

"Anton, Kaka is here too!"

"We're just saying hello to you. We'll be logging into 'Green Life' in a while, ready to play the 'Champions League Final'."

Ronaldo said on the other end of the phone.

After Ronaldo and Kaka helped Real Madrid win the Copa del Rey this season, they will focus on the domestic league with all their strength.The La Liga match ended yesterday, and Mourinho gave his players a rare day off.The two guys planned to take this opportunity to spend some time in the virtual reality simulator and win the "Championship Champion" in the game.

Speaking of "Life in the Green", the Champions League final happened to be Manchester United vs. Barcelona. I don't know if it has anything to do with the upcoming decisive battle between Manchester United and Barcelona in reality.

"You must know that after we win this round, we can raise the level!" Ronaldo said triumphantly.

After these two seasons of long challenges in "Life in the Green", Ronaldo, Kaka...including Ibrahimovic who joined last, their comprehensive experience points are already close to the level of elementary and advanced.Once Ronaldo and Kaka win the "Champions League Final" in the virtual world, the bonus experience they get is enough for them to break through in one fell swoop and become high-level players.

"I wish you success!" Anton said with a smile. Ronaldo and Kaka are both "Mr. Big Scenes". They have experienced countless similar occasions. At this moment, before the "virtual final" in the simulator, Anton couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, Anton...you have to work hard in the league over there!" Kaka was indeed on the other end of the phone, and said something to Anton from a distance.

"Thank you!" Anton replied, turning his head to look at Bolton's stadium: At this time, his team, whether it is the usual substitute, today's rotation starting players, or the "meritorious achievements" of Ibrahimovic and Royce, at this moment All gathered around the court, ready for the game.

"I will work hard too!" Anton replied to the phone, and then hung up the line.

He, Ronaldo, and Kaka have never met each other in reality, but they have established a deep relationship in the game-the relationship between these two "opponents" and Anton is even better than Anton's two " "Teammates" must have a tacit understanding.

So there is no need for Anton to say anything, as long as Ronaldo and Kaka can win this "Challenge of the Champions League", they will definitely help him pay attention to any clues about Bernard.

Even if Anton can't solve this mystery himself, Anton is at ease with Ronaldo and Kaka.

So he focused all his attention on the field and began to prepare for the game with Bolton without distraction.

Bolton is also a team from the Greater Manchester area. They come and go with Manchester United and Manchester City on weekdays, and their level is not too weak. They are currently ranked 14th in the Premier League standings. I was trying to get points from Sunderland, but I was a bit timid when I met the top of the list. Even at home, I didn’t dare to press up and play. I had already saved 1 point and was caught by Sunderland. Chance, the visiting team scored a goal in stoppage time in the first half, 0-1.

In the second half, Anton's team played more easily.

Most of Sunderland's players came off the bench at ordinary times, and now they have the opportunity to play, and they all played with all their heart.Originally, their level was not much different from that of their opponent Bolton's main force, but because Sunderland's current status as the "top of the list" gave them infinite confidence, these players were often able to perform at a super level.

In the second half, Bolton was in danger in front of the goal, but he persisted until the 85th minute without scoring more goals.Sunderland's temporary "lack of scoring skills" once brought hope to Bolton. If they can find a way to pull one back, there may still be hope for 1 point at home.

However, in the 86th and 88th minutes, Sunderland scored two consecutive goals in just 90 seconds to seal the victory. Almost every relegation team has to play one game, which is fair to everyone, and Bolton didn't care too much after losing.

There was nearly 6 minutes of stoppage time at the end of the game. After about 4 minutes, Anton felt the phone in his pocket vibrate once.

He kept in mind the FA's regulations that "communication" tools should not be used on the field, and he ignored the messages that might come in. He thought to himself: As a responsible head coach, he has to finish directing the game on the field before he can think about other things.

But what could this be? ——Could it be that Player C and Player R completed the "Challenge of the Champions League" and sent messages to announce the good news to themselves?

Not long after the referee blew his whistle, the game ended. Sunderland won a clean 60-3 victory with 0% of their lineup sitting on the bench all the year round, taking all 3 points in the away game.

Staring at the little friend next door, hoping that Bolton can work harder to carry the Manchester United fans were disappointed again.

Anton strode towards the head coach of Bolton, shook hands with him and the opposing coaching staff one by one, and exchanged high-fives with the players who came down from the field, watching them go back to the locker room one by one with excitement.

He himself needs to hurry back to the mixed interview area and accept interviews with a large number of reporters before he can go back to the locker room, where he can meet the players who have performed well, give a few words of encouragement, and then lead the group The young man went back to Sunderland, to Guangming Academy.There, they will continue to summarize the game-now they have completed the 35th round of the Premier League, and there are the last 3 rounds, and the time to decide whether they win the championship is likely to happen in the 37th round.

The moment Anton walked into the mixed interview area, he remembered the mobile phone in his pocket, so he took it out and took a look.

The reporters waiting in the mixed interview area were full of excitement and prepared a lot of questions early, mainly about Sunderland's prospects of winning the championship. By the way, ask about Chelsea's "fried handsome" incident.

Anton was standing in front of the reporters at this moment, still gentle and elegant, but he was looking down at the mobile phone in his right hand.

He just stood there so firmly, like a statue.

The reporters were all embarrassed, and their professional curiosity made them really want to go forward to see what shocking news came from Anton's cell phone-but this was peeping at Anton's personal privacy, professional ethics And stopped those ready to move.

"Mr. Coach, Anton!" A reporter simply yelled, trying to wake Anton from his contemplation.

Anton really raised his head.

"Everyone, I'm very sorry. I have an urgent matter and I have to leave immediately. The team's assistant coach, Mr. Black, will attend the post-match press conference to answer your questions."

Anton hurriedly finished speaking, and then left.

The reporters were dumbfounded: I have never seen a head coach who is in such a hurry to leave after the game. Did something big happen?

Some reporters even secretly blamed the daredevil just now: Just now everyone should have stood up in advance, set up the "iron barrel formation", and after blocking Anton's way, it would not be too late to wake him up!

——Now I can only watch him leave.The reporters yelled in their hearts that it was a pity.

Some people are even speculating: what happened to Anton, who can't even take care of the post-match interview, and is about to leave the Reebok Stadium?

Some people noticed Anton's expression: it was very complicated, it seemed to be happy, but it seemed to be confused, but the pace of leaving was extremely resolute.

The reporters sighed and had to gather on the other side, ready to hear what the Bolton manager had to say, and later to listen to the press conference of the fat assistant manager of Sunderland.

Russell didn't wait for Anton's person in the locker room, but waited for his call first.

"Russell, my dear old man, I have a big favor for you." Anton said quickly on the other end of the phone.

"What, I'm alone at the press conference?" Russell said with a bit of fear in his voice, and all the Sunderland players in the locker room stared at him with giggles.

For the sake of face, Russell had to cough twice, pretending to care about Anton: "Of course I have no problem attending the press conference, but where are you now, except for something, do you want to help?"

Anton replied on the phone: "To be exact, I'm on my way to London now."

Russell: ...London?what's the situation?

Then Anton's voice trembled slightly, sounding full of joy.

"I have just received word from London that my brother Bernard has just woken up."

"Really!" Russell jumped three feet high in the locker room, attracting the attention of the entire Sunderland team.

The news that Anton skipped the post-match interview and hurriedly left the Bolton Reebok Stadium spread quickly.In the evening of that day, a photojournalist photographed Anton in a hurry on the streets of London.For a moment, the media all over England were speculating why he, the Sunderland coach, would rush to London.

Coincidentally, because the resignation of Ancelotti happened just one day ago, many people speculated that Anton may have rushed to London to meet Abramovich——

Indeed, if Anton can lead the team and win any championship in the Premier League or the Europa League in one fell swoop, then no matter what his previous background or qualifications, this man who has not even reached the age of 30 is enough. The capital has coached a "big club" like Chelsea.
