Yun Sheng chatted with several new players. Except for the somewhat introverted Shaheen, the other players got along very well.
However, although Shaheen has an introverted personality, he is active and serious on the training ground and is very friendly to the people around him, so everyone still likes this young Turkish guy.
Although the overall strength of the current Cottbus first team is average, the team atmosphere is very good. This is what makes Yunsheng most gratified.
However, there is another problem.
In the corner of the Chinese restaurant, Sandel was drinking alone.
Sandel has been in a bad mood since Yunsheng became the head coach of Cottbus.
In the first few days, Sandel had a bad temper and wanted to quarrel with Yun Sheng whenever he had nothing to do. He often had tit-for-tat confrontations with Yun Sheng in the conference room. However, Yun Sheng did not confront him head-on. Instead, he chose a gentle approach and respected him very much. And on the training ground, he also told all first-team members that Sandel is mainly responsible for the team's training work, and asked everyone to respect and cooperate with him.
In this way, Sandel was like a punch punched in the sand, without any use of force.
During this month of pre-match training, Sandel watched as Yunsheng changed more and more, and his status in the team steadily improved. Several beautiful transfer transactions made everyone admire him; he brought investment from Huaguo Longyin Technology, making him a popular person in the eyes of Chairman Crane; and in getting along with the players, Yunsheng We are the same age as everyone else and have more in common.
As a result, Sandel's dignified position in the team seems to be being eroded bit by bit.
This made Sandel even a little depressed.
The team he once managed suddenly became someone else's, and he seemed to be doing a better job than him. The key was that he was still assisting him...
This made Sandel feel depressed.
He once thought about leaving, but he had been in Cottbus for many years and was really reluctant to leave.
He stayed on the first team as an assistant coach, and he still had a hope in his heart - if Yunsheng's performance in leading the team was not good, he might be able to return to the position of head coach, maybe.
Sandel drank alone, thinking wildly. At this time, Yun Sheng walked towards him with a glass of wine.
"Sandel, why are you here alone?"
Sandel didn't even raise his head: "I'm not used to Chinese food."
Yun Sheng was stunned: "Oh, that's right. I'll go out and order a German dish for you right now."
With that said, Yun Sheng stood up and walked out.
Sandel stopped him: "No need, I said I wasn't used to eating, I didn't say I didn't like it..."
Yun Sheng was delighted: "That's good. I suggest you try more Chinese cuisine. The cooking method is very good and you will definitely like it."
Sandel stopped talking. He then looked out the window, the wine glass dangling in his hand, looking absent-minded.
At this time, the players were scattered throughout the restaurant, and this small Chinese restaurant had become a lively banquet center.
The coaches also gathered with the players. At this time, there was no tension as usual on the training field. Everyone was having a drink and relaxing and chatting.
Yun Sheng looked at the lively crowd and said slowly: "Sandel, I've been trying to find a chance to talk to you lately, but you've been avoiding me."
Sandel said bluntly: "I'm not avoiding you, I don't want to talk to you."
"Well, okay," Yun Sheng shrugged, "Even if you don't want to talk to me, I have to find a chance to talk to you about what's on my mind."
"I have stayed in Cottbus for some years. When I came to Germany from China, my first stop was the city of Cottbus, and I never left. Later I joined the Cottbus club and became a youth team coach, and then became a first-team coach a few years ago.”
"Sandel, although I haven't been in Cottbus as long as you, my feelings for Cottbus are no less than yours! I am equally happy to see Cottbus promoted to the Bundesliga. Crazy. I am also excited to see Cottbus successfully avoid relegation."
"Becoming the head coach of the first team was actually not what I expected, but since the club and everyone trusts me, I am willing to work hard and lead Cottbus to the Bundesliga. Sandel, I know you feel uncomfortable. , I feel that I have strengthened your position, but this job is arranged by the club, and I am not driving you out. I hope you can understand."
"The new season is about to start. This is my first time coaching the first team. There must be many shortcomings. I need your help. Of course, if you don't want to help me, but expect me to lead the team with poor results, in the end get out of class is over, well, if that’s the case, just treat it as if I didn’t say anything now.”
Having said this, Yun Sheng looked at Sandel seriously, trying to see something on his face.
But Sandel was still looking out the window, and through the reflection reflected in the window, Sandel still seemed expressionless.
Yun Sheng let out a long breath, looked out the window, and said slowly: "Man, you love Cottbus, and I love it here too. I hope this place will be better than you do. Even if you don't want to support me, But I hope you can understand that everything you do now is not to support me, but to support the club. If you don't help me, and I end up with poor performance in leading the team, or even fall back to the Bundesliga 2, Is this what you want to see happen?”
Hearing this, Sandel's brows moved slightly, and he finally turned his head and looked at Yun Sheng.
The two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and neither of them said a word.
After a long time, Sandel finally spoke: "Yunsheng, although I, Sandel, don't like you, I am not a person who doesn't know how to measure. For the Cottbus Club, even if I die, I will Willingly! Don’t worry, even if I don’t like you, I will still do my best for Cottbus! You don’t have to question my professionalism.”
After hearing this, Yun Sheng finally felt relieved. A relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to Sandel: "Man, from today on, we can shake hands and make peace. How about that?"
Sandel ignored him and still shook the wine glass in his hand.
However, Yun Sheng's outstretched right hand did not retract, and was still hanging in mid-air.
After a full minute, Sandel couldn't bear it anymore. He reluctantly stretched out his hand and shook Yun Sheng's hand lightly, curled his lips and said nothing.
Yun Sheng laughed loudly, and the laughter spread to every corner of the room.
From this moment on, the entire Cottbus first team can truly be considered rock-solid and monolithic!
