/ Chapter 40 Let the game decide

The offices of Alkmaar club officials are located on the east side of the building near the training ground, which is designed so that these senior managers can see the players' training through the window.

Shringer, the marketing manager, has the second office in the east, and the easternmost is Dirk's chairman's office, but he is not often here. To the west is General Manager Nelson's office, while Jiang Mu's office is to the west of the stairs.

When Jiang Mu came to Sherlinga's office, he accidentally found that the general manager Nelson was also there. Jiang Mu said hello to his two immediate superiors and sat down on the sofa.

"I want to tell you something in advance. After consultation, the club decided to dismiss Van Dijk immediately. The head coach of the first team will be temporarily represented by you. Do you have any comments?" Nelson bluntly told Jiang Mu the big news.

"Why? There are only seven games before the end of the season.

Although Jiang Mu has been psychologically prepared for a long time, he still made a surprise. Although foreigners are not as big as Chinese compatriots, they are not stupid. It must be wrong to behave too calmly at this time.

"Yes, there are only seven games. Even if you have won seven consecutive victories after taking office, you don't have much chance to win the first place, but we are worried that Van Dijk will not be able to compete for the severe test of the play-offs. Now the team is extremely disunited, the morale of the players is low, and the wounded soldiers are full. If it doesn't change, the final upgrade task will be lost. It's a pity."

Nelson's decision was the result of a joint discussion with Sherlinga, Dirk, and the club's managers. At this time, Jiang Mu was not to compete for the illusory first place, but to prepare for the play-offs. The team has now shown signs of collapse, regardless of the club. Will it be said by the media and fans that it is humane? Van Dijk must be won. The remaining seven games are just for Jiang Mu to prepare for the play-offs.

"Of course I'm very happy to be the head coach, but I still want to be fair to Coach Van Dijk. He is still very capable. In the past three years, Alkmaar has been well done by him, and the training and training of young players are also very systematic. The current situation is mainly due to player injuries and morale problems. Players After the return of his injury, he is also likely to advance in the play-offs.

After Jiang Mu was slightly excited, he talked about his views on Van Dijk in a calm tone, but he mainly wanted to test the willingness and attitude of the club's senior management.

While Nelson turned around and poured tea for Jiang Mu, Sheringya secretly made a victory gesture to Jiang Mu and said, "The situation of the club is so bad. No matter how good Van Dijk's ability is, he can't change it. Long pain is not as good as short pain. Now it's your turn to be this head coach and give you time to adapt to the team. Maybe It can make some good changes for the team.

Nielsen also said helplessly, "We also wanted to give Van Dijk a decent opportunity to step down, but during this period, the team is getting worse and worse, and there is no sign of improvement. There is a saying in the management industry that a good enterprise, even a bad decision, will be understood as good by employees, and a bad enterprise. Even good decisions will be understood as bad, and now Van Dijk is like this..."

Bang!

Before Nelson's words were finished, the door of Sherlinga's office was rudely pushed open. Van Dijk came in with a pale face from the outside. He rushed to Nelson angrily and slapped his desk hard.

"Manager Nielsen, what do you mean? If you want to dismiss me, I will clearly say, what does it mean to let me take a vacation for recuperation? Do you want to worry that I will ask for a penalty?

"Coach Van Dijk, take your time. What do you mean by breaking into Manager Sherlinga's office?"

Nielsen was very angry with Van Dijk's rudeness and rudeness. The Dutch gentleman who had been with him for three years seemed to have turned into a bullfight. He really couldn't believe it.

"What's the matter? This person is plotting with you to deprive me of my position as the head coach, but you called me to rest. Do you want me to say more?"

Van Dijk pointed to Jiang Mu angrily and was extremely disgusted with Jiang Mu. In his opinion, it was this Chinese who put himself in the current predicament, and now this Chinese wants to squeeze out his position by relying on his relationship with his boss's daughter Sehringer.

Sheringa was really angry. She sneered and said, "Coach Van Dijk, in this case, I'll put it bluntly. From today on, you will no longer be the head coach of Alkmaar. Please pack up and leave immediately. Alkmaar doesn't care about the liquidated damages."

Van Dijk didn't expect that Sherlinga would say so simply, so direct, and so not to show him any affection. He was stunned for a moment and said, "What right do you have to let me leave immediately?" Are you the chairman or the boss? Even if Mr. Dirk is here, it can't be said that. Alkmaar and I still have a one-year contract.

Sherringia raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "I'm the marketing manager of Alkmaar. At least I have some power, and we have negotiated about you. We just want to give you a face to take a vacation until the end of the season. In addition, I don't want you to mention the contract again. Your current success Is the performance worthy of that contract? I won't say anything bad about you when you have done a lot to Alkmaar in the past few years. The contract will be terminated in advance, and you will not lose a penny of the money that should be paid to you. If you want, you can go to the finance department to settle the bill now.

Van Dijk didn't expect that Sherringa was a girl who had just taken office and had this power. Not only was she a little weak, he said, "Miss Sherringia, you also know that I have made great efforts for Alkmaar. Is that how you treat meritorious officials? Can you just blame me for the team's predicament so far? If I don't think about it for your father, Mr. Dirk, no matter how much the price of Rhoda JC Club is, will you buy it as far as it is? I don't care about the penalty, but I don't want Alkmaar to be destroyed in the hands of this Chinese. His football is ugly and utilitarian. It will not be popular in the Netherlands. His Italian football will win in a short time, but he will be rejected by Dutch fans after a long time. The Netherlands has its own tradition of Dutch football, and the tradition cannot be lost.

Van Dijk's words are very serious. In fact, he is not completely jealous of Jiang Mu. To a certain extent, what he just said is also his true thoughts. He is a Dutchman, has a deep-rooted love for art football, and an instinctive rejection of defensive football.

Nielsen said, "Coach Van Dijk, to be from the bottom of my heart, we have given you more than two months, but you haven't got out of the current predicament. Now I'll give you another month. Can you lead the current Alkmaar out of the predicament? In order to return to the Dutch League, Mr. Dirk has painstaking efforts and money. Every Alkmaar, even if not a fan, hopes that Alkmaar can restore the glory of ten years ago.

"Yes, of course, as long as the main injuries recover, I have 100% confidence in the playoffs." Van Dijk said confidently.

Sheringa asked, "But how do you let us believe you, Coach Van Dijk, we gave you enough time, but you didn't prove yourself. Do you know how many players have sued you? Do you know how fierce the protests of the fans outside are? Do you know how much pressure we are under?"

Van Dijk sneered and said, "There are dozens of players in a team, and there are only 11 players on the field. The coach can't please every player. What's strange about their complaints against me? Those fans will immediately tell Long live when the results are good. Neither the club or the coach should take the opinions of the fans too seriously. . "

Sheringia said, "You can not take the opinions of the fans seriously, but the club can't, because your salary comes from the club. And the club's income comes from the fans.

Nielsen interrupted: "Coach Van Dijk, the coach can't please every player, but the coach must let the players sit on the bench convincingly, instead of letting them come to me desperately to complain."

"Guys, please listen to me now." Jiang Mu, who had never spoken, interrupted.

"You don't have the right to speak here. You are not the head coach yet." Van Dijk rudely interrupted Jiang Mu.

Sheringia said, "Jiang Mu has the right to speak. He is the coach of the second team, and our conversation involves him."

Nelson also said, "Coach Van Dijk, sit down first and listen to what Coach Jiang Mu said."

Van Dijk snorted and sat down on the sofa impatiently.

"Coach Van Dijk just slandered that my football was ugly and utilitarian. It will not be popular in the Netherlands. I hope to compete with Coach Van Dijk again to correct my name. I use the second team, and Coach Van Dijk can use the first team. This can also prove whether Coach Van Dijk has the ability to play the next league and play-offs well.

Before Nelson and Sheringa could speak, Van Dijk took the lead and said, "Okay, I'll compare with you. If I lose, I will leave Alkmaar immediately. I don't want a penny of liquidated damages from the club. Chinese boy, if you lose, please get out of the Netherlands immediately. Don't fool me here."

Sherinjia cast a worried look at Jiang Mu. She was worried that Jiang Mu could not beat the first team with the second team. After all, there was too much difference between age and game experience, and Van Dijk was all about revenge.

I don't know what's dead or alive! Jiang Mu smiled confidently at Sherringia and said to Van Dick, "Okay, I'll bet with you. In front of Sheringer and Manager Nelson, we will sign an agreement. Do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare? I'll be afraid of you." Van Dijk.

Sheringa and Nelson saw that both of them were so confident and stiff, and this matter was only good and no harm to the club, so they didn't stop it. They took a pen and paper to sign an agreement to determine the position of the head coach in the game.
