[Football] After Becoming Chairman of a League One Club

(The top tier of English football is the Premier League, the second tier is the Championship, and the third tier is League One.)

Senas never imagined he would get something as miraculous as a System, especially after getting into a car accident.

To save him, the System chose a golden finger that would keep him alive: the ability to earn money whenever he got injured, along with an exceptionally powerful healing ability that would restore his body completely!

Senas: ??? Hello? He wasn't a masochist!

But looking at the ten million pounds deposited into his account under the guise of insurance, Senas figured it might not be so bad.

The problem was that getting injured really hurt! Maybe he should just take the money and lie flat!

But after learning that the ability could also benefit his employees, earning him money whenever they got injured and granting them the same superhuman healing ability, Senas realized he might have found himself a respectable career.

He could buy a League One club and become its owner. Athletes were among the workers most likely to get injured, especially in contact sports, and their healing abilities would finally be put to good use!

After Brentford, also known as the Bees, was bought, its players discovered that their new owner was far better than the previous one. He spent money on building them a cafeteria, hired sports medicine specialists, raised their wages, and was willing to splash out on new players. Though he was only in his twenties, he looked at them like they were his sons.

They thought it was fantastic. They seemed to be in much better shape than before, and, fired up with enthusiasm, they followed their head coach into the Championship.

Senas: ??? Were his players really that good? Well, the money came from the players anyway, so he might as well give them another raise and improve the club's facilities!

As the team's results kept improving and promotion to the Premier League came into sight, Senas realized there was a problem: he needed a new coach. His current head coach had resigned of his own accord, saying that taking the team to the Championship and then getting them close to promotion had been an extraordinary achievement. If they made it to the Premier League, he doubted he could keep coaching them, so he would quit at the end of the season!

System: The employee draw feature is now available. Complete the corresponding missions in each draw scenario to earn coaching fragments. Collect enough fragments to receive that coach's contract and appoint them as the team's head coach!

Senas took a look. The pool sparkled with the names Ferguson, Ancelotti, Wenger, Mourinho, Guardiola...

Good heavens.

But after drawing a Ferguson fragment and arriving at the Battle of the Boot, he discovered that he needed to take a football to Ferguson and Beckham to get their autographs...

Senas: Let me die!

Cates is an English goalkeeper, an outstanding keeper who never fumbles in a country full of butterfingers. Naturally, the excellent Cates became England's number-one goalkeeper.

But have England's head coaches ever been any good? First there was Eriksson, who was caught cheating multiple times and made the trending lists, eventually even causing the Sheikh's Gate scandal. Then came Capello, a tyrant who wouldn't let the players eat even condiments, couldn't speak English, and stubbornly stuck to a 4-4-2 without ever changing formation.

His England teammates were either involved in affairs with each other's wives or partying in nightclubs the night before a match and missing their penalties. They also loved gambling and forming cliques within the team.

Before every tournament, the British media would loudly proclaim that football was coming home and that England would surely win this time. After England got knocked out, they would hunt for a scapegoat and mercilessly attack the poor soul from every angle, as if they wanted them dead.

Ha. Cates felt he could already see exactly where his national-team career was headed.

But he was the best goalkeeper England had produced in ages, with no one who could replace him. Cates had had enough. He was going to go wild on the national team! Whoever stood in England's way, he would deal with them!

But as Cates ran rampant on the national team, he ran into a problem: why was he forcibly bound to a guy with tremendous football talent who simply refused to manage his weight and diet? When the guy gained weight, Cates gained weight too. When the guy skipped training, Cates's body suffered as well!

And now the guy was even planning to transfer to his fiercest rival club!

For the sake of his career and his ability to win matches, furious Cates stormed over, intending to use his fists to make the guy train properly and watch what he ate.

But under the threat of his fists, Cates discovered that the guy didn't even try to fight back. He even invited him to share a delicious hamburger!

Cates: !!??

What kind of person was this? His career really was doomed! No way. Grinding his teeth, Cates forcibly got all of the guy's contact details. Every day, he demanded updates on his meals and workouts. If the guy didn't report in, he would call and harass him relentlessly. If that still didn't work, he would show up at the guy's house during his holiday and force him to exercise!

"Eden, why does your girlfriend keep such a close eye on you? She even calls to remind you when you don't send her a photo of your lunch."

Hazard smiled serenely. "Because she loves me so much."
