Chapter 622 Need Speed
Located in the center of the UK, Sheffield is built on seven hills and is one of the eight largest cities in the UK outside of London.
From the 19th century, Sheffield became famous for its steel industry, but after 1970, international competition and the collapse of the British coal industry led to the decline of the local industry.
However, after entering the 21st century, Sheffield has transformed from a former industrial base city to a comprehensive economic base city, repositioning itself as a city of sports and technology.The British Athletic Association is located here, and the World Snooker Championship is also held here.
In the field of football, the famous Sheffield United Football Club is also here.
This club, which has been established for more than a century, once had great glory, but they are now in a bad situation. They have fallen to the English Championship and were almost relegated last season.
In a cafe not far from Sheffield United club, three people were sitting in a corner talking.
Although the two of them were faces of the Hua Kingdom, they spoke fluent English and communicated without any obstacles.
Sitting in front of them was a burly British man.He is not very tall, but very strong, wearing a neat shirt, looks very formal, a standard British gentleman.
At this moment, he looked at the two Chinese people opposite him, his face still full of surprise.
"Tie, I didn't expect you to introduce a new friend to me. It turned out to be the famous champion young marshal Yun Sheng. It's incredible!"
Li Tie smiled slightly: "Dude, you are my best brother in Sheffield United. The new friend I introduce to you must not be an ordinary person, or it won't be worthy of your identity."
The British gentleman waved his hand: "Don't say that, I'm just a player who just retired, but Coach Yunsheng is a well-known figure in European football. How can I compare him to him?"
Yun Sheng smiled, and there was no airs in his smile. Although we met for the first time, he got along with others like a spring breeze, making people very comfortable.
"I have only been the head coach of the first team for three years. Although I was lucky enough to win some championships, I am still a 'rookie' in European football. But you are different. In England, you are the famous 'Living Fossil of the Premier League'."
The person sitting across from Yunsheng is Gary Speed, who has witnessed the Premier League, a talented player who has been in England for many years, and a Welsh legend!
On September 1969, 9, Speed was born in a small village called Mancourt in Wales.In 8, he started his career at Leeds United and made his professional debut at the age of 1988.
In the 9192 season, Leeds United won the last English Football League Championship (the highest level of competition in England at the time, and later changed to the current English Premier League), Speed has become an indispensable core player in the Leeds United team.
In the next few years, he has been playing for Premier League teams. Everton, Newcastle, Bolton and many other teams have all left his footprints, so he is also known as the "Living Fossil of the Premier League".
In the summer of this year, he officially hung up his boots at Sheffield United and left his favorite green field.
Playing in the Premier League for many years, Speed has won the respect of countless fans with his excellent skills and rich experience, and his sharp offensive style has also become his representative.
When he was in Cottbus, Yunsheng talked about Speed with Li Tie. Although he had never met Speed, Yunsheng admired Speed very much. Both his skills and character were excellent.In particular, his sharp midfield attack in Leeds United and Newcastle United made the once young Yun Sheng extremely admired.
Because of this, there is today's trip to Sheffield.
Li Tie, as the person who connects, has a very good relationship with Speed. Although he only played here for a short time, the two have formed a deep friendship.
"Gary, when I was here, I got a lot of help from you."
Speed waved his hand: "I can see that you are capable, and your training and game attitude in the team are top-notch. You Chinese people are so diligent and serious. When the team terminated your contract, I tried my best to oppose it, but I still couldn't help you stay. It turns out that I am very accurate. You performed very well in Cottbus and won the championship and victory. I am very happy for you."
After the two chatted for a while, Li Tie handed over the place to Yun Sheng. After all, he is the protagonist today, and he was just helping to introduce the two of them.
Looking at Speed in front of him, Yun Sheng was quite emotional: "I was young when you played for Leeds United, but I watched a lot of your Newcastle games. I really didn't expect that Speed, who is so majestic on the field, is so gentlemanly off the field."
Speed smiled slightly: "I never thought that the young coach Yun Sheng, who celebrated wildly in the Champions League final, is actually younger than he looks on TV."
Yun Sheng also smiled: "That's all in the past. I'm the Juventus coach now, and my past honors have been overturned. What lies ahead are all new challenges."
"When Coach Yun Sheng was coaching the team, he was very fond of veteran players. Are you inviting me to join Juventus when you come to see me this time?" Speed said with a smile, "If I were a few years younger, I would definitely go to Turin with you to experience the feeling of working with a talented young coach. But I am old and have retired, which is a pity."
Speed is very clear about Yunsheng's good use of veteran players.Sauer and Da Silva in the Cottbus period, Makelele, Recoba, Ljungberg and Beckham in the Monaco period, these 30-year-old veterans have all rejuvenated under Yunsheng.
Yun Sheng looked at Speed in front of him, put away the smile just now, and became serious: "Gary, you guessed it right, I'm here to invite you to join Juventus today!"
"what?!"
Speed was taken aback!
I was just joking just now, but Yun Sheng really came to invite him?
Speed shook his head again and again: "Coach Yunsheng, I'm 41 years old this year. I'm old. Although I retired this season, I haven't participated in any official game since last season. With my current physical condition, I can't play in Serie A, let alone play in the British Championship. Thank you Coach Yunsheng for the invitation, I really can't accept it."
Yun Sheng waved his hand: "Gary, you got it wrong. I didn't want to invite you to join the Juventus first team, but to invite you to be my assistant—Juventus assistant coach!"
