Football: The Journey of a Coach

59. The arrival of Ian Wright

    The casual conversation with Lawrance really relaxes everyone, the stress has weighed on them the past few days.

The next day, Crsytal Palace had a rare guest. Ian Wright shows up at the Palace team's training ground.

Many fans label Ian Wright as an Arsenal star, but there is actually another label on Ian Wright that is the Crystal Palace star.

It was Crystal Palace's scout who brought him to Crystal Palace back then, and it was here that he grew up and went on to become a superstar at Arsenal. If you want to say that Ian Wright's affection for Crystal Palace should be no less than his affection for Arsenal.

“Halo, Daniel!” Ian Wright did not choose to shake hands with Daniel, but instead immediately embraced him.

Since Daniel took over as Neil Warnock coach, Ian Wright is full of doubts, he is a commentator for Sky Sports, Ian has been discussing Daniel's performance a lot.

Of course, as a famous Crystal Palace player, he is more aware that it is not good to pour cold water blindly into the new coach of the old club. When commenting on Daniel, though he did use the phrase "I don't think he's a suitable candidate!" Added words. "Actually, he should be given time".

This was definitely not the kind of comment that belonged to the overall malicious category, Ian was not a typical individual like Roy Keane. Who blindly criticized the performance of his old club if it is in a state of slump.

Daniel took over the team in the middle of the season, and the performance was not bad. After the defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, Wayne Collins contacted Ian Wright. After that, Wayne asked for help to just stop by his old team.

After being told by his uncle, Daniel made a phone call with Ian Wright yesterday, they had a lot of phone conversations.

To be honest, this was the first time Daniel and Ian Wright had met, never expecting Wright to be so friendly. He was a little surprised, but he quickly accepted Wright's enthusiasm.

"Hey, Mr. Wright!. It's so nice to meet you!. " Releasing their embrace, Daniel smiled slightly and greeted Wright, then introduced Joey and Lawrence who came to pick up the big British star

that's.

Local journalists who were specially invited, on the sidelines quickly pressed the camera button. Crystal Palace holds a public training session every week to satisfy the curiosity of the fans and the outside world, and today is a public training session.

The players are training hard, after the tactical training activity yesterday, everyone showed a good mental state today.

Everyone saw Ian Wright appear at the training ground, there was a commotion as they entered the Crystal Palace gate.

How could they not know the truth of Ian Wright, but everyone did not expect that Ian Wright had actually come to visit everyone in person, so everyone stuck out their attention to watch.

"What do you see?! Hurry up and practice!. Ian will be having dinner with us today!. Let's talk about when you want to take a photo or sign an autograph!. If you don't train well now, tonight's dinner will be dinner with Ian!" Lawrance, who had already fully stepped into the role of assistant coach, jokingly scolded the players.

The players just smiled and went back into training, they knew that Ian Wright would definitely visit the team's practice later.

“ Thank you Mr. Wright, I always thought you did it just to face the Sky Sports.” audience Daniel casually walked over and had a conversation with Ian Wright.

"Of course not!" Ian Wright who heard Daniel laugh, "That's what I wanted to say at the time, despite training at such a young age. But you are able to lead the team quite well. Not much could be like that."

"I don't think you and Roy Keane can have fun talking and laughing!"

 "Oh!" Daniel said, "I don't think it's that bad, we're both just different in the way we look at football. "

" Yes that's true, Roy too often emphasizes his team to often compete physically in the game. And as long as I'm watching Palace's game at the moment, it tends to play with more emphasis on the possession aspect. "

" That's enough about Roy Keane, talk to me about you!. What happened when Neil chose to leave?!. I feel Crsytal Palace are in a lot of trouble in the middle of the season!" Wright asked the truth directly, rather than listening to the rumors.

Daniel started telling Wright what happened after he took over the team, why Neil Warnock chose to leave Crsytal Palace. Daniel did not exaggerate the story, or downplay it.

After listening to Daniel's explanation, Wright listened with great fun. Crsytal Palace's team look great at the moment, but Wright also knows that the process is not easy, a lot of hard work is mixed with luck.

After Daniel took over, Wright watched all of Crystal Palace's matches, no doubt that some of Crystal Palace's matches were very uncertain. Moments before Deco's arrival, Crsytal Palace preferred to wear a counter-attack. But at the moment, after Deco came, the team had more control of the ball.

Of course there are also factors from opponents who do not know how to play Palace, Wright also knows that some teams are not necessarily right in his choice when dealing with Crystal Palace.

However, these factors did not affect Wright's praise of Crsytal Palace. Whether it's luck or the stupidity of opponents, his role in coaching the team is one of the biggest contributors to Crystal Palace.

After much talk, Wright said: “I'd like to congratulate you earlier for leading the team well!. Looking at everything in front of me, I cannot think of any team that can prevent Crsytal Palace. "

" Ahem!. Ian's!. I'd like you to bless us in the Play Play Play play-offs bravely!" Wayne Collins, who was waiting at the meeting place, was silent, suddenly coughed twice as a reminder.

"what?!" When I called last night, Wayne's request was actually very simple. He said that the players felt a little pressured when they lost in the semi-finals of the league Cup.

He wanted to invite Ian Wright to the team to encourage everyone. With the support of Crsytal Palace legend, it is expected that the players will be even more motivated.

Wright who was too cool to talk with Daniel, forgotten his original task he came to Crsytal Palace headquarters. So he was a little surprised when Wayne Collins reminded him earlier.

But he quickly recalled mastering himself, wiring as a star performer was not a figment of the thumb. Ian Wright has met many people in his career as a footballer.
