Guo Guangchang, wearing a helmet, and Wei Le, also wearing a helmet and a reflective vest, walked in the construction site of the Fosun Training Center, watching the construction work in full swing.

"To be honest, Xiao Wei," Guo Guangchang asked, "where do you think we can be next season? I'm really not sure."

Wei Le thought about it and answered truthfully, "I don't know, but I can guarantee that our team's strength will never be relegated."

"If the next signings are in place, we should be able to reach the middle of the league. If we are optimistic, maybe we can impact the upper half."

Guo Guangchang sighed and said, "That's the Premier League..."

Wei Le looked at the Chinese businessman, while Guo Guangchang was still staring at the buildings rising from the ground in front of him. After a while, Guo Guangchang turned his head and patted Wei Le on the shoulder.

"My current thought is that as long as I can stay in the Premier League, I will be satisfied. Don't put too much pressure on me. I won't put any pressure on you."

Wei Le smiled and shook his head, "We all want Wolves to go further."

Guo Guangchang nodded, as if he was reminiscing with an old friend. Guo Guangchang continued calmly, "In fact, there are many voices asking me to replace you. After all, it is the Premier League."

Wei Le was not surprised by this. He did not respond, but waited for Guo Guangchang to continue.

"But I scolded them all back one by one. Even if they are domestic football experts, they don't understand football." Guo Guangchang added, "At least they don't understand Wolves' football."

"From the moment I agreed to let you take office, I knew that Wolves' development path was completely different from that of other ordinary teams."

"To be honest, Wolves is the world's first Chinese-funded team after all. China has no experience in football management, so I think these experts don't understand Wolves as well as I do."

Wei Le smiled and nodded. His boss really cares about Wolves.

Guo Guangchang stopped and turned to look at Wei Le solemnly, "Xiao Wei, no matter what, you are the hero who led the team to the Premier League. Without you, Wolves might have wasted several years in the Champions League."

"So as long as you can lead, I will let you lead. Even if we are relegated next season, I will still support you."

"If you can lead for 3 years, I will extend your 2-year contract to 3 years; if you can lead for 5 years, I will let you lead for 5 years; if you can lead Wolves for 8 years, or even 10 years, I don't mind erecting a statue for you outside Molineux Stadium!"

Wei Le was indeed very surprised by Guo Guangchang's current statement. But he knew that now was not the time to ask questions, and he was waiting for his boss to continue.

"In football, you can't be so eager for quick success." Guo Guangchang explained with a smile, obviously seeing Wei Le's doubts, "If you change the coach when the results are not good, you can't run a team at all."

"Many teams in the current Chinese Super League, and even the Chinese national team, are like this. There is no patience at all. Every coach must spend time to familiarize himself with his team when he first arrives, but he is kicked out before he can lead a few games, and then the next cycle begins."

"This won't work. Football needs stability. If a team's coach keeps changing, then the coach's authority will decline. The team has no backbone. How can it play the game?"

"You should know, Xiao Wei, what you can bring to the team is actually a solid foundation. This is a team you built, and no one knows how to use it better than you. "

"The Premier League is different from the Championship. No team supported by the Chinese consortium has ever reached that place. In the final analysis, we are crossing the river by feeling the stones. If we can get through it, then we can get through it."

"If we can't get through it, then we can change the way and start again." Guo Guangchang said, "I'm not in a hurry at all."

"Even if we come back, our current lineup can break the record and upgrade. I don't believe we can't do it next season."

Looking at the Fosun training base that is rising from the ground, Guo Guangchang is in a very good mood.

"The way you lead the team now can be said to be unique in the world." Guo Guangchang gave Wei Le a thumbs up. Wei Le quickly tried to be modest, but Guo Guangchang didn't accept it, "I'm telling the truth."

"You brought so many young players in at once, and they are all so strong. You are ridiculously young as a head coach. Your tactics are beautiful and the game is very good."

"Even if you have no qualifications, even if your management method is unprecedented, so what?"

"I fought back against those who criticized you. Guess what I said?"

Wei Le asked, "What did I say?"

"I told them, let them come, can they get promoted to the Championship with 110 points? If not, then don't say anything!" Guo Guangchang laughedLaughing.

Wei Le was stunned for a moment, then laughed too.

Speaking of which, his boss is really unique. Football is Guo Guangchang's hobby. He really likes football and hopes to make some achievements in this industry. He also really loves the team he owns.

He is willing to support Wei Le's independent coaching. Although he cares about the situation of Wolves, he rarely interferes directly with the management of Wolves and is willing to give Wei Le enough time.

Where can you find such a boss?

The serious Guo Guangchang opened up his chatterbox as soon as he arrived at Wolverhampton, as if he would be in a good mood when talking about football.

Is this the magic of football? Wei Le is not sure. But what Wei Le can be sure of is that he is really lucky to have such a good boss.

This visit to the new training base with Wei Le is actually a reassurance to Wei Le.

Since Wei Le made drastic changes to the team during the transfer window and even firmly rejected Fosun's partner Mendes team, Wei Le actually had some pressure from the team's board of directors.

He continued to boldly introduce young players, and his behavior of obviously going down the path of rejuvenation was criticized by many domestic so-called experts as being stubborn and too idealistic.

In this case, there are always some rumors persuading Guo Guangchang to remove this inexperienced young player before anything bad happens, and honestly find a head coach who is good at relegation to lead the most dangerous season.

Wei Le could not be unaware of such voices, but he had no way to deal with it. Before the season really started, he had no way to prove himself.

To be honest, Guo Guangchang could have terminated his contract with him directly now, and he had no way to do anything, because the reason was very simple, that is, Wei Le currently had no experience in leading the Premier League.

This is also true, but Guo Guangchang's arrival this time, in any case, shows a message, that is, Wolves are full of confidence in Wei Le and it is impossible to change the coach at the last minute.

Although Guo Guangchang told Wei Le today that he would not replace Wei Le even if Wolves were relegated next season, it is impossible for Wei Le to really aim to go to the English Championship and return to his hometown of happiness.

Wei Le's goal is higher, to the top half, or even to compete for a place in the cup!

Although Wei Le is not clear about what the Premier League is like, and there is no way to predict what will happen in a few months in advance, he always has a kind of stubbornness like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

Premier League? Come on!
