Coaching career started as a college team coach

"How do you feel?"

"I feel good, sir."

After a while, Rogers suddenly asked. Tierney didn't know how much time had passed. He was stunned for a few seconds before pulling his mind back. He answered subconsciously.

"You can come here and sit from time to time. If you sit on a bench in a park in Glasgow and just stare blankly for a whole afternoon, it would be wonderful."

"Yes." Tierney could understand this feeling.

"If you like, you can sit here for the rest of your life. It's not a bad thing, and there's nothing to criticize. It's just a choice."

"But you're never young again, Kieran." Rogers turned his head and met Tierney's eyes, "You can spend a lot of time looking at the sky of Glasgow."

"I believe you can even stay here for your entire career. You will become a legend here and will be sung by generations of children."

"But you're never young again. If you want to go out and make a living at that time, no one will come to you." Rogers spread his hands and smiled, "Because you're old."

Tierney didn't speak, but he could imagine that picture. When he was at the end of his career, maybe he could sit here and look up at the sky from time to time. But if he still wanted to perfect his career, time was running out.

But as the head coach who once took over Liverpool said - "This is just a choice."

"If it's just me, it's only about me." Rogers continued, "I will definitely not tell you this, after all, I am the head coach of the team, and you are the team's main left back."

"To be fair, keeping you is the most beneficial choice for the team. After all, our lineup has been run-in, I don't need to make any more adjustments, and I don't need to worry about whether the next left back can adapt here."

"But I brought you up from U19, I know your talent and talent. Celtic is good, but the Premier League is better."

"Wolves are the first to pay attention to you, but they will definitely not be the last. I believe that when you play well, there will be many, many giants to invite you."

"But they will not be as willing to believe in you as Wolves, they will definitely not be willing to give you such favorable conditions, leaving you so long to consider your choice."

Rogers stood up and moved his arms and knees.

"You still have time to think about it. We have just started pre-season preparations. Don't worry, if you want to stay, no one can force you to leave before you pass my test."

"But as the saying goes, you can never be young again."

Rogers and Tierney bumped fists and walked back to the building. Tierney thought for a moment, sat back down, leaned against the barrier outside the training ground and watched the clouds drift by.

An idea floated into Tierney's mind like a cloud - do you want to go to Wolverhampton?

Just a visit.

Hannover, Germany.

Yang Qi sat in the head coach's office, his face remained calm, but his hands rubbing each other constantly could still reveal his nervousness.

Head coach Breitenreder pushed open the door of his office and sat down in front of Yang Qi.

"Sorry for the long wait, there was a phone call outside just now." Breitenreder said in German.

"It's okay, sir." Yang Qi replied in German with a smile.

Hannover 96's first-team coach Breitenreder nodded, "You can speak German, that's good."

Yang Qi smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have learned German. There is no problem with basic communication now, but if it involves particularly professional content, I may not be able to do it."

"It's okay, it's okay." Breitenreder's serious face showed a smile. He asked the young Chinese man in front of him, "Tea or mineral water? We are going to chat for a while, do you have anything to drink?"

"Mineral water is fine, thank you." Yang Qi took the mineral water bottle with both hands, unscrewed it and took two sips. Breitenreder also took a sip, "Don't be nervous, just chat."

But Yang Qi didn't think it was just a chat.

Hannover 96's first team performed well in the 2016/2017 season, and was promoted as the second in the league, and can play in the Bundesliga next season.

And often at this time, according to Wei Le, it is the blood transfusion period of the lineup.

"No matter which team it is, after being promoted from the secondary league, they will face a situation that these meritorious players in the original lineup may not be able to compete in the top league."

"They may not be capable enough, or they want to leave. In any case, this period is a 'lineup replacement period'. "

"You need to pay attention, because this is often an opportunity for young people to come forward. This is an opportunity for the head coach to get to know you again. If the head coach thinks you can do it, he will let you play."

"You don't have many opportunities. You must impress your head coach before he has a basic impression of his players, that is, before the first few rounds of the league."

"This is a rare opportunity for the head coach to get to know the team again."

Wei Le told Yang Qi about his prediction on QQ, that is, the team's head coach is likely to talk to the players of the second team. Under Yang Qi's god-like leadership, Hannover 96's second team finally ranked third.

Everyone is very sorry. If Yang Qi had not come in the winter window, but had come before the start of last season, Hannover 96's second team would have had a chance to upgrade.

Yang Qi's goal and assist data have also reached double digits, 15 goals and 12 assists respectively. Such data is already very outstanding for a forward striker.

Now, he is the most likely to be promoted from the second team. The first team.

Wei Le was indeed very predictable! When Yang Qi received a message from the team coach saying that the first team coach Breitenredel wanted to see him, he thought of it immediately.

Although it was very clear that the significance of this conversation might not be just a "chat", judging from the content, Breitenredel and Yang Qi were really just "chatting".

Breitenredel asked many questions about Yang Qi's adaptation in Germany and briefly asked him about his understanding of the team's tactics for the new season.

Yang Qi had prepared these questions in advance and answered them fluently.

"Okay, let's get to the point." Breitenredel clapped his hands, "You know, we can play in the Bundesliga next season."

"Our lineup will usher in a relatively big change, and the team's current signings are also underway. But it seems that our signings for forwards, especially forwards, are not going well."

"Felkrug needs a partner. At present, we can't say that you are the most suitable choice, but I think you will definitely take on more responsibilities. ”

“Maybe it’s a chance to come on as a substitute, or maybe it’s an occasional starter. I can’t say how many opportunities I can give you now. But in any case, I hope that starting tomorrow, you will come to the first team and train with us.”

“Yang, you are now a first-team player of the Bundesliga team Hannover 96.”

Yang Qi walked out of the head coach’s office. Hannover is also sunny today. The summer breeze accompanied by a few bird calls seems to be a flute of congratulations to this young Chinese player.

Yang Qi is no longer tense. He closed his eyes, just like Andy standing in the rain with his upper body naked in "The Shawshank Redemption", stretching his arms and facing the distant sky.

I have gone a long way, and now I have walked farther than you all.
