Chapter 17 Angry Loy
Chapter 17 Angry Lowy
At seven in the morning on August 8, Gao Bo woke up on time on the camp bed in his office.
During this period of time, Gao Bo was very busy with his work. In order to bring the team on the right track as soon as possible, he took the team to train during the day and prepared for the warm-up game in the past two months. At the same time, it is necessary to adjust the training plan of individual players in time according to the training effect, which takes up almost all of his time and makes him sleep at three or four in the morning every day. No way, John Aston and others may be able to help him in command training, but for some other work, Gao Bo can only come by himself, so he simply lives in the team's training base. He hadn't even been to the apartment the team helped him rent a few times.
In the office bathroom, Gao Bo used cold water to drive away the remaining drowsiness on his face. Then he stood in front of the mirror, zipping up the training suit and hanging the whistle around his neck. This is his standard equipment when he leads the team in training.
Then Gao Bo took off the post-it note from the mirror.
"August 8 itinerary: morning, counter-attack routine drill + 45-minute confrontation; afternoon passing training + pre-match press conference!"
Compared with the usual itinerary, today's itinerary has an additional content of a press conference.
On August 9th, Luton will usher in their first league game of the new season at home. They will face their first opponent of the season, Port Vale!
The day of training passed quickly. Since the game was about to be played the next day, the training event in the afternoon was greatly reduced by Gao Bo, and then the players were not allowed to go home. Gao Bo asked all his players before the game if there were no special circumstances. , must live in the training base, if it is away, it is of course a hotel.
Then Gao Bo took the team captain Kevin Keane to the conference hall on the first floor of the office building. Before each home game, this is always temporarily changed to the location of the pre-match press conference.
Although the conference hall is not large, a League B game has not received much media attention. In addition to the media in Luton and Port Vale, there are only Sky Sports and the BBC. The British media giant has this funding and has dedicated reporters stationed all over the UK.
The reporters sat sparsely in every corner of the conference hall, with a row of tables at the front. John Aston made a temporary cameo as a press officer, while Gao Bo and Kevin Keane sat in the table. He sat down on a chair with two microphones.
All the reporters were staring at Gao Bo, a Chinese who was the head coach of the England team, which was the first time for these Western reporters who had seen much.
Gao Bo didn't dress up because he was going to the press conference. He was still wearing the training clothes he wore when he went out in the morning, and he didn't even have time to take off the whistle on his neck.
The image of Gao Bo was placed in front of a group of reporters. To be honest, if the reporters had some mystery about Gao Bo's identity before, then this mystery has long been lost without a trace. ... If this oriental guy looks a little handsome, he can't match the head coach at all.
He looks so young, he looks much younger than Kevin Keane next to him!
Wearing a black professional suit, Roy Saul sat in the front row with a capable face, with a hint of anger on her face, which made the reporter lady with light makeup show a hint of coquettishness in her neat and capable look.
Lowy is a reporter for Luton's largest local newspaper, The Hat Seller, and its stance can be seen from the name of the newspaper - the Luton team's nickname is "The Hat Seller". Hatter!"
Loy is naturally a Luton fan. She is from Luton, and her family has been Luton fans since a hundred years ago.
At this time, Roy looked at the young Luton coach, and she felt a burst of anger.
In her opinion, David Luton, who came back from the United States, is a mess. Do Americans understand football?
This American has found a young Chinese who is only 27 years old to manage her home team. How can this not make Roy angry.
Miss Roy looked at her notebook and put her right hand on her right thigh. As soon as the press officer announced the start of the press conference, she immediately raised her hand and tried to grab the first opportunity to ask questions.
John Aston did not keep Miss Lowe waiting too long.
"It's twenty minutes of free question time..."
As soon as John's voice fell, Roy raised his hand. Naturally, she also got the first opportunity to ask questions.
Miss Lowe squinted at Gao Bo.
Bastards, Luton is not a team that anyone can coach!
Miss Lowe stood up, her chest rippling.
Gao Bo had looked at Roy's face before, but when the other party stood up, he realized that the female reporter was quite tall, especially since she was sitting in the front row. After standing up, Gao Bo's eyes could only stay on. Roy was choppy between the waves.
Gao Bo coughed awkwardly and turned his head away slightly.
There was a slight roar of laughter in the conference hall, and it was obvious that they also noticed the embarrassment of the Luton manager.
Roy's face darkened, she frowned, and the anger on her face was already undisguised.
"Mr. Gao Bo! You brought three players from the amateur league to Luton this season, don't you know enough about the intensity of the second league?!"
Roy raised his head with a hint of provocation on his face.
This cowardly bastard, I'll see how you step down today!
Kevin Keane glanced at the head coach worriedly. "The Hat Seller" is Luton's local mouthpiece. Now even Luton's mouthpiece is full of malice towards Gao Bo. It is conceivable that in the minds of fans, Gao Bo is a what image. But Kevin Keane knows that Gao Bo is definitely a high-level head coach, not to mention the tactical system he built for the team, just the players he brought, every player in Kevin Keane's view, All have the ability to be the main force for at least a team at the British Championship level!
Gao Bo looked at this English girl who was looking at him provocatively with great interest.
Gao Bo has long known that the media in England is not easy to mess with, so he didn't have any expectations for the press conference, and he didn't even do a perfunctory change of clothes.
But if there are such seductive beauties in the front row of every press conference, the press conference does not seem to be useless.
"The players I brought are enough to stand in the second league. In fact, even in the first league or even the British Championship, my players are enough to handle it." Gao Bo sat up slightly and said flatly.
"The Second Division is a professional league, Mr. Gao Bo!!"
"Miss reporter, I'm the head coach of a professional league now. I know more about what a professional league is than you!"
A reporter from Luton's mouthpiece newspaper quarreled with Luton's head coach, and other reporters at the press conference watched with great interest.
At the end of the press conference, Gao Bo stood up from his position. Before turning to leave, he turned his head and said: "Vardy and Charlie are the best strikers in the second division, and Kante will be the best defense in this league. After the season starts, you will know, Miss Reporter!"
After Gao Bo finished speaking, he turned and left.
The best striker?
Best defensive midfielder?
Talk in your sleep, goddamn bastard!
Roy bit his lip and looked fixedly at Gao Bo's back.
The other reporters were dumbfounded.
We haven't asked yet....
