Coaching legend

Chapter 238 Genius Clause

All media are paying attention to the lawsuit of Woodgate and Lee Bowyer. If the charges are proven, their careers will be greatly affected.

Although the previous few times were just sieges in newspapers and media, and have not yet officially entered the legal process. But even so, the status of Woodgate and Lee Bowyer was greatly affected. They were almost in a daze during the game. And the entire Leeds United team was affected by this scandal.

If this matter enters the legal process, what will happen to Woodgate and Lee Bowyer at that time, you can imagine it with your toes.

O'Leary is indeed a rookie coach, not even as good as George. George has been a head coach for four years and has also experienced the promotion battle. He has played in the League Cup and FA Cup finals. Although younger than O'Leary, O'Leary is not as good as George in terms of coaching experience.

O'Leary is a complete rookie coach and served as a head coach for the first time last season. He performed very well in the front, but under the pressure of George, Leeds United finally collapsed completely at the end of the season. Lost the League Cup quota in hand.

This season, Leeds United was even more aggressive at first. After 20 rounds of the league, it was actually at the top of the list.

But a scandal caused Leeds United to collapse immediately. And O'Leary was almost helpless. In these games, O'Leary's rookie nature was clearly visible. After the lawsuit between Woodgate and Lee Bowyer was exposed by the media, O'Leary was unable to control the locker room at all.

The matter of the two players actually made Leeds United in a mess, and they lost four games in a row in the next four rounds.

This kind of control ability is really a failure for O'Leary as a head coach. No wonder O'Leary has not achieved any important results since leaving Leeds United.

If it were coaches like Ferguson and Wenger, they would definitely have many ways. Even if they couldn't keep the team strong, they wouldn't let the team become like this all of a sudden.

George was disdainful of O'Leary in his heart. Even if Woodgate and Lee Bowyer were important to Leeds United, with the strength of Leeds United, they shouldn't have lost four games in a row without these two people. O'Leary, there is something wrong with your wrist.

Although Manchester United is very strong, the sudden decline of Leeds United still made George breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter what the reason is, it will make people happy to have one less opponent.

As for Woodgate and Lee Bowyer, George didn't have much impression in his previous life. If there is an impression, it is that Woodgate later joined Real Madrid at a high price. Then in the two years at Real Madrid, he didn't play many times because of injuries. He became a big joke of the Galaxy Battleship at that time.

And Bowyer was even more fierce. When he was in Newcastle, he and his teammate Dyer had a big fight on the field. He was sent off by the referee with a red card, which also became a classic joke in the Premier League at that time.

George didn't have a good impression of them.

Such players deserved such things.

George didn't have a little sympathy, but laughed secretly. These two guys beat Asian players, which obviously involved some discrimination.

Leeds United "Young Guards", it's your fault that I'm here. If George hadn't come out of nowhere, maybe Leeds United would have been as famous as history in European football. But now we have George, and Blackburn with George, who can be more magical than Blackburn.

O'Leary, I'm sorry. Leeds United, I'm sorry.

…………

Of course, the focus of media attention, in addition to the scandals of the two of them, is Ferguson, who just returned to England from the Club World Cup.

In the past, the European Champions Cup champion and the South American Libertadores Cup champion played a game, which is the "Toyota Cup" that Chinese fans are very familiar with.

However, FIFA President Blatter was wrestling with UEFA and felt that the influence of the European Champions Cup was too great. And UEFA was too strong, so it was ready to launch a competition that could compete with the European Champions Cup.

Finally, he set his sights on the "Toyota Cup". He changed the "Toyota Cup" to the World Club Cup, which was later the Club World Cup.

From January 5 to 14, 2000, the first FIFA Club World Championship was held in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with eight clubs from Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Central and North America participating. The tournament was divided into two groups of four teams each for a single round-robin, with the first place in each group competing for the championship, and the second place in each group deciding the third and fourth place. In the end, Corinthians from the host Brazil and Vasco da Gama met in the final. Corinthians won the first Club World Cup through a penalty shootout, which was the first major international football championship in the 21st century.

Manchester United, as the Champions League champion last season, also participated in this Club World Cup.

However, the results were relatively poor. Manchester United ranked third in the group stage and missed the chance to chase the top four.

Although the Club World Cup Championship, which was strongly supported by FIFA President Blatter, was held in Brazil in 2000, it was forced to stop due to disputes with sponsors. But this was the first time FIFA tried to reform the Club World Cup.

Ferguson, who had a mediocre performance in the Club World Cup, did not talk much about the Club World Cup after returning to England.

Instead, Ferguson brought up the old topic again, which was the issue of the "special talent clause" that George mentioned before this season.

Ferguson spoke freely in front of reporters that the English football work permit system is no longer able to adapt to the development of world football and is also hindering the development of the Premier League. The work permit system has blocked many good players from entering the English football world. Although the work permit system can guarantee the quality of foreign players, it also excludes many talented players.

After criticizing the work permit system, Ferguson began to praise George's "special talent clause". George's "special talent clause" method can not only guarantee the quality of foreign players in English football, but also introduce some truly talented players.

Before the season, George said it, which had already caused an uproar in the English football world.

But after Ferguson said it, the gold content was completely different.

Who is Ferguson? If this guy says he is the second coach in the Premier League, no one dares to say he is the first coach in the Premier League. He has been in charge of Manchester United for nearly fifteen years, and who can compare with his influence in the English football world.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, he has won four Premier League titles in seven seasons. And he has led Manchester United to win the Champions League, the Cup Winners' Cup, and various FA Cup titles.

The FA can ignore what George said. Who are you, George? He is just a young coach who has just coached for four seasons. Even if he has won the League Cup and the FA Cup, he cannot hide his age.

Wenger supports George, and the FA can also sneer at him. Wenger? You are a French guy, and you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is after winning two Premier League titles.

But Ferguson said it now, and it is impossible for the FA to completely ignore it.

And after Ferguson said it, many newspapers immediately changed their direction. Even after George brought it up, many newspapers that criticized George suddenly changed their attitude and cheered for Ferguson. And not long after Ferguson finished speaking to the media, many people jumped out to support Ferguson.

This made George dumbfounded.

What is influence? This is influence. Ferguson's nearly fifteen years at Manchester United are definitely not fake.

The same problem, George and Wenger said it, and so many people opposed it. There are so many so-called famous critics who are supposed to protect local football talents, but Ferguson has so many yes-men for the same view.

George smiled helplessly. He envied Ferguson in his heart.

When will he have such influence in the English football world?

But George knew that this was all the influence that Ferguson had created with his outstanding achievements. In fact, there are many coaches in England whose qualifications are even much better than Ferguson. But there are very few coaches who can have the influence of Ferguson.

In the final analysis, competitive sports still have to speak with results. If it weren't for good results, even if Ferguson had been a coach at Manchester United for 20 years, who would talk to you.

But this is not the time to think about this problem, so George immediately stood up to support Ferguson after Ferguson brought up this topic. In fact, George was the first to initiate it, but who made George not as good as Ferguson.

Therefore, George could only respond to Ferguson.

At this time, Ferguson's arch-enemy, Wenger, also spoke out to support Ferguson.

The coaches of these big clubs began to speak, and immediately formed a powerful voice. This powerful voice, the English Football Association absolutely dare not ignore.

Just a few days later, the FA spokesperson expressed his views on the matter.

"Since the beginning of the season, when Coach Levy mentioned the "Special Talent Clause", the FA has been discussing it. It's just that because it's a major issue, no unified plan has been put forward so far. However, the FA will discuss this matter in a short time and come up with countermeasures."

"The FA will come up with a plan that can protect the development of local players and the interests of various clubs."

George sneered at this kind of official document. What a broken thing, you haven't figured it out after half a year of research.

If Ferguson hadn't spoken, the FA would have bothered to pay attention to George. George knew this. At the beginning of the season, George and Wenger, plus the support of some other club coaches, did not make the FA say anything.

Now Ferguson just said a word, and the FA spokesperson said that they would study a plan. It's so annoying.

However, after hearing the FA's statement, George believed that the FA would definitely not ignore it this time.

George would be very happy if the "Special Talent Clause" could be introduced in advance. Not to mention South America and Africa, even in Eastern Europe there are countless good players waiting for George. George drools just thinking about it, so many talented players are waiting for him.

Hehe. You are all waiting, you can't escape from my palm.
