Football: The Journey of a Coach

27. External Reaction And Hunting

    Alan Lee, who scored twice against Barnsley, praised Daniel in an interview.

" We played well today, the team did exactly the direction from coach Daniel. He's the right choice to lead Crsytal Palace after in coach Warnock's stay."

Daniel himself preferred to send Lawrence to replace him after the game. He didn't want to deal much with the reporters.

In general, during post-match interviews. The reporters this time did not cause much trouble for Daniel or Crsytal Palace themselves.

The Crystal Palace fans actually have very low requirements. They were not a very rich team before. They know the weight of their team, as long as Palace are consistent and win games. Fans will be silent.

Many mainstream observations and football media this time, have an attitude of waiting and seeing first. If Daniel can indeed continue Warnock, they will praise him but if Crsytal Palace have a bad result. People who call themselves these experts, will not hesitate to destroy it.

" Why didn't he use Warnock's attacking tactics. This is the system used so far, the new coach chose to wait at home. Crystal Palace did win, but they have to be really grateful to Alan Lee and Victor Moses". Sun sports columnist. Oliver Kay was obviously not satisfied with this game, he felt as the home team let the opponent control the game at Selhurst park, very unfit. Although Crsytal Palace ended up winning 4-1, Oliver Kay was not happy.

" Crsytal Palace's beautiful game in yesterday's game against Barnsley was probably their most organised game in half the season. Palace players are like robots, playing so systematically and purposefully. And their counterattack was so quick, like an arrow that hit Barnsley's heart. Daniel Ward made his first good debut." The Times expert Isaac Spoff. He praised Crsytal Palace's game system, Isaac seeing the tactics Daniel employed to trap Barnsley as very clever.

There are a lot of war arguments out there, there are criticisms of Survival tactics at Crsytal Palace. There are also those who praise it as a clever thing.

Daniel did not care much about this report, he only caught a glimpse of what these experts were saying. Who has never even once coached a football team, but speaking is like a master who every year gets a trophy.

Daniel might care a little if the saying is famous names like Alex Ferguson or Bobby Robson. If they really criticise, it's a sign that something is wrong with Crsytal Palace. But if the critic is just an entertainment tabloid, Daniel better spend his time improving Crsytal Palace's gaming system.

On the day of the game, Daniel decided to leave the team for two days. As the Boxing Day game draws near, Daniel wants his team to get together with their respective families before facing a tough schedule.

The English professional league is different from other European leagues, there is no winter break here. It's not new for the team to play on Christmas, it's a tradition here. Due to Warnock's departure, the team had not been off on Christmas day yesterday.

Crsytal Palace players will regroup on December 31, the team having only one training day before against Ipswich town on January 1, 2010.

" But before the holidays, we have to train hard. The game was won, and our performance improved a lot. But that's not enough for tickets to the premier league, we still have a lot to practice." Daniel's last word before disbanding the team.

Why would Daniel dare to give them a day off, but three more days they have to host opponents at Selhurst park. That was because in order to stabilize their hearts and minds, the players were not robots that could move endlessly.

Footballers are human, and their game depends on the mood. If the player is experiencing a bad mood, their game on the field will be automatically affected.

Besides this it is also a home game, which is the fundamental reason why Daniel can squeeze time for everyone to take a vacation. If it was an away game, there might just be a dinner together in the tactics room.

***

During the two-day holiday with their families, Daniel and Joey were busy researching and watching videos of the Ipswich town vs Newcastle United game. Mostly Daniel was watching, Joey was recording all the way to Ipswich stadium. Now sleeping on the couch, exhausted from having to go back and forth from Ipswich to Croydon.

Daniel watched Ipswich Town, coached by Manchester United legend Roy Keane.

Ipswich town is currently in a bad performance, the last 5 games without a win make Keane foster children play in a hurry.

And Ipswich's game tends to be rough and militant, in contrast to Newcastle's compact play. Daniel can already guess this will end badly for the home team.

Sure enough, the game ended in a Newcastle United win. Ipswich Town lost with a score of 0-3 from a goal scored by the star opponent, Alan Smith.

" Tring.. tring-trings."

While he was watching the game, Daniel's phone rang.

" Daniel, it's Warnock". There was the relaxed voice of Crsytal Palace coach Neil Warnock.

Daniel heard that the one who called him was Neil Warnock, leaving him a little shocked. After Warnock recommended himself as coach of Crsytal Palace, Daniel has not spoken to him at all. She also wanted to thank him for believing in her.

" Mister Warnock, I'd like to thank you in advance. If it wasn't for your belief, I wouldn't be the coach of Crsytal Palace. " Daniel is aware that the only people who really believe he can be a great coach are his uncles Wayne Collins and Neil Warnock, he will always be grateful.

" Hahahaha, there is no need to exaggerate Daniel. Sooner or later you'll also train, I'm just speeding up the day." A friendly laugh from Neil Warnock.

" You did well the game against Barnsley, and it's not because of this that I called you Daniel nights. " Hisband.

" What is it, sir. " Daniel was actually a little curious as to why Warnock called her.

" I want N'golo Kante and Ryan Shawcross. " Said Neil Warnock.

" HAH!, that's impossible. " Daniel involuntarily shouted, building up Joey who was sleeping.

" A..what. " Joey woke up and asked in shock to Daniel.

"Haha".

On the other side of the phone, there was a loud laugh from Warnock. Damn this old man, I think what's wrong.

It turns out he shamelessly wants to dig Crsytal Palace players, and the ones asked are Kante and Shawcross. Two mainstay players of the team, this is the same as punching holes in the Palace defense.

" Haha, I already know this is how you answer. Which coach wants to sell his players in winter transfers. "

" It's impossible just to joke with me. Mr. Warnock. " Daniel is alert.

" Yes, because Kante and Ryan are hard. I'd like to borrow Morgan Schneiderlin for half of the season, with the option to buy in the new season". Warnock said of the purchase option, the meaning of that is when the club is satisfied with Morgan's temporary performance. It is not impossible, at the end of the season Hull City will buy him in full.

" Maybe I would agree. But, Mr. Warnock. The January transfer is not yet open, it is only December 30th. Less than two days. "

" Daniel, what date doesn't matter. What matters is the deal. When both parties have agreed, the date can be arranged. Then which club now has to wait for a date to get their target players, maybe the player has been hunted by another club team. " Warnock Advice.

" So that's it. "

Daniel once again gets an important lesson about the transfer of players, not just having to wait right in the transfer market. The transfer team can directly negotiate with the target player, only after it is officially opened.

They will apply to the player's club, this is usually done by a big club. For a small team like Hull City and Crsytal Palace, the connection is important. So Neil Warnock immediately called Daniel about the transfer of players and vice versa, because it can be said that this has been some kind of connection between the two of them.

" If Morgan, himself wants to go. I will not stop it" Daniel said.

" Thank you, Daniel. "

It's also a kind of courtesy of Neil Warnock for him, by contacting Daniel first. It prevents misunderstandings and can damage their relationship, as Daniel is now the coach of Crsytal Palace.
