    In second place, behind them are veteran A-level teams such as Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong, and Guangdong.  Yunjia fans are not dissatisfied with this result. As a newly promoted team, it can still be ranked second in the standings after ten rounds. This is an amazing result in itself. Looking at the history of world football, there are better things than this.  The results are really rare.

    At least in the history of the Chinese League, it is really not the case. In the past, it was good for newly promoted teams to retain the qualifications for a top league. In the first year of the professional league, Shuzhong Tianfu finished sixth as a newly promoted team, which amazed the national media.  Not to mention Yunjia Tianyu rushed to second place in one breath.

    However, after the tenth round of the league, a piece of news began to spread in Yunjia City, which cast a shadow on the good mood of Yunjia fans: It is said that head coach Wenger has received an invitation from a wealthy European club.  I'm leaving Yunjia to take office!

    At first, all the fans didn¡¯t believe the news: Are you kidding me?  How could Wenger leave? Didn't he say at last year's celebration that he would take Yunjia Tianyu to the top?  How could he walk now when he was on his way to the top?  Besides, Coach Wenger is not such a person. He often walks on our streets and everyone greets him politely. How could he leave Yunjia like this?

    But a few days later, as the news spread more and more, fans began to doubt it.

    What is the concept of a giant club in the European League?  Serie A, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga which team is not famous and world-class?  Ballack, Toni and Materazzi in our team, right?  In the past, I couldn¡¯t even play professional games in Europe!  How attractive is such a league?  Coach Wenger is a man but not a god. He has greater development prospects, a stage to show his abilities, and even a richer income Who can resist such a temptation.

    So some fans began to scold those "football clubs in the bourgeois world" - you all have so many good coaches and such awesome players, why are you still holding back to trick us and poach us?  At this critical moment, without coach Wenger, how can we win the championship?

    Even Yunjia Tianyu Club and its boss Pei Wei have become the targets of complaints from fans: Isn¡¯t this Pei Wei rich?  Isn't he the richest man in Yunjia?  Aren¡¯t you eloquent and have ideas?  You might want to think of a way to let Coach Wenger stay and give him more money. Don't you even think about this?  Where has the usual eloquence gone?  With a net worth of several billions, can¡¯t you retain a coach?

    Fortunately, Chinese fans are not as accustomed to demonstrations as European fans, and they have not had any impact on local public security. However, as the situation has expanded, weird rumors have come out. Why is Wenger dissatisfied with Pei Wei?  The latest big talker, Pei Wei, is dissatisfied with Wenger's performance in leading the team. He even said that he has a nose and an eye, which made the Yunjia fans panic for a while.

    Seeing that the rumors are getting more and more intense, Yunjia Tianyu Club announced that it will hold a press conference on Thursday to explain the rumors during this period and the departure of coach Wenger.

    In fact, this news was sent out by Pei Wei under the instruction of his subordinates. Anyway, Wenger's departure is already certain. It is better to prepare the fans mentally in advance. Otherwise, if the news comes out temporarily, there will be no psychological buffer time for the fanatical fans.  Why don't we demolish the Yunjia Tianyu Club?

    With a few days of time buffer, fans will naturally consider the possibility of Wenger leaving After all, not everyone can resist the temptation of invitations from European clubs.  Fans are not unreasonable creatures. After putting themselves in Wenger's shoes, most fans will calm down. After all, Wenger's contribution over the past year is obvious to all.

    However, Pei Wei did not expect the rumors that came out later. He underestimated the Chinese people's interest in gossip and their imaginative extension ability.

    On June 20, 1996, three days before the start of the eleventh round of the league, Yunjia Tianyu held a press conference. Six members of the club attended: Chairman Pei Wei, head coach Wenger, assistant  Coach Ding Yu, echelon head coach and former Olympic team coach Ladd, as well as two player representatives, captain Deng Jia representing foreign players and Hao Dong representing domestic players.

    "I invite everyone here today to announce something to you." After seeing that everyone had almost arrived, Pei Wei did not make any opening remarks, but directly stated the theme of today's press conference: "Recently  There are a lot of news circulating in Yunjia, which makes the fans feel very uneasy What I want to explain to you today is that this matter is true after the game against Jilin Yanbian.  Yunjia Tianyu Club terminates the contract.¡±

    Although preparations have already been made, this

    Still, the reporters and fan representatives below were in a commotion.

      "Quiet, please be quiet. If you have any questions, please ask them one by one. Today, President Pei will explain everything in detail to you." The person in charge of the press conference raised his voice, and after a while, the noise slowly subsided.  calmed down.

    "Excuse me, Mr. Pei, why did you terminate the contract with coach Wenger? Is it because a wealthy club invited coach Wenger to coach as the gossip said? Or is it because of other things?" The first question was  Reporter of "Yunjia City News".

    "That's right." Pei Wei nodded: "There is indeed a top club in the five major European leagues with a long history that invited Coach Wenger to coach. According to the contract signed between Yunjia Tianyu Club and Coach Wenger,  "

    "Can you please tell me which team it is?" The question this time was from a reporter from Sports Weekly. This question is very professional. More newspapers facing the five major leagues seem to be more interested in Wenger's next destination.  Be more interested.

    "I cannot disclose this issue." Pei Wei and Wenger exchanged glances. The negotiation with Arsenal was almost successful. Arsenal's owner Peter Hillwood did show great sincerity. He even  He was willing to spend money to sell off Wenger's remaining contract, which amounted to nearly half a million US dollars.  At Wenger's request, Pei Wei was not prepared to reveal the news in advance: "Out of respect for coach Wenger and the club, we cannot reveal the news before their contract is officially signed. But I can be very negative.  I have to tell you responsibly that this is definitely a team that can be considered a 'rich' team even among the five major European leagues."

    "It's been a pleasure working with Coach Wenger for the past year and a half." Seeing that some reporters seemed to be preparing to attack Wenger, Pei Wei quickly spoke up and blocked their mouths. He didn't want Wenger to leave.  It also left a bad impression. "Get together and disperse easily" has always been his code of action: "Coach Wenger has brought a lot of things to Yunjia Tianyu Club, advanced training methods, excellent on-the-spot command, and an A-level league  b.:.We should give full understanding to him for leaving for his own ideals.¡±

    Seeing that no more news could be found on this matter, the reporters found a new target and focus: "So Mr. Pei Wei, the departure of coach Wenger is a major loss to Yunjia Tianyu Club anyway.  So in the next half of the season, under whose leadership will Yunjia Tianyu compete in the remaining half of the league? "

    Pei Wei laughed. After several days of discussions and soliciting opinions from other club personnel and players, he already had a suitable candidate: "Head coach of each echelon of Yunjia Tianyu, former head coach of the Chinese Olympic team Yugoslavia  Mr. De will serve as the executive coach of Yunjia Tianyu, and the former assistant coach Ding Yu will assist him. I believe that under the leadership of these two coaches, Yunjia Tianyu will definitely use better performance to repay his continuous efforts.  Dear Yunjia fans.¡±

    After repeated negotiations, Pei Wei basically agreed to Wenger's proposal to let Ding Yu lead the team for the remaining half of the year. However, for the sake of safety, he still used Ladd, a more senior coach, as a shield.  After all, for a young coach like Ding Yu, he was pushed to the forefront of the limelight so quickly. If he does well, his confidence may suddenly rise. If he does poorly, he may collapse. It is definitely a good thing to have Ladd help him share some of the responsibilities.  .

    And although Ladd is nominally the head coach, Ding Yu still takes the lead in on-the-spot command. After all, Ladd is best at training and cultivating young players. On-the-spot command is not his strong point. Let Ding Yu perform actual duties.  The position of head coach is also a good exercise for him.

    And Ladd, a loyal old Yugoslav man, was also happy to take on such a role, and Ding Yu was not a short-sighted person, so the matter was settled smoothly. As for the effect, the facts have to speak for themselves.

    Next, Deng Jia and Dong also expressed their opinions on behalf of foreign players and local players respectively. Naturally, their words were all official: I miss the days when Wenger led the team. I congratulate Wenger on being able to better display his talents in his new position. At the same time, I also express my gratitude to Wenger.  The new head coach Ladd expressed his blessings and promised to fully cooperate with the new head coach's work, take the lead for other players, and play the remaining games to compete for the championship.

    The press conference ended smoothly. Before the end, Pei Wei said with a smile: "The home game against Jilin Yanbian on June 23 will be coach Wenger's farewell match. Everyone at Yunjia Tianyu Club hopes to be able to  A victory to send off coach Wenger, I hope everyone can come to watch this game.¡±
