Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 106 Greening's 'Descent Theory'

Middlesbrough's current head coach Steve McLaren is a very young head coach, only 43 years old this year, but he is already hot in the English football world.

McLaren's playing career was very inconspicuous. He has been in the second and third division teams, and began to coach after retiring from injury.He had served as an assistant coach at Oxford United and Derby County, and joined hands with Jim Smith to lead Derby County to the Super League. At this time, Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United took a fancy to him, so he came to Manchester.

In Manchester, McLaren almost became Ferguson's right-hand man. His talent was affirmed by the whole of England. In 2000, the FA even invited him to be the head coach of the England national team. His strength and reputation are evident.However, it was rumored that due to Ferguson's jealousy, he failed to take office. In the summer of 01, McLaren, who wanted to be his own boss, came to Middlesbrough, but for several years, the team's performance was mediocre. In the middle of the Premier League.

After the training, in an interview with reporters, he smiled and said: "Middlesbrough is a team that is striving to improve. The team has made all preparations. For tomorrow's game, the whole team is very confident. Although Wolverhampton has performed very well recently and even defeated Arsenal in the last game, it does not mean that its strength has reached the level of a giant team. You know, everything in football has Possibly." It can be seen that McLaren is very confident in the game, and the young head coach is indeed capable of saying this. Although Middlesbrough has a mediocre record and is only ranked 11th in the Premier League, It is one place lower than Wolverhampton, but the team's performance is very stable. Even Manchester United dare not say that they will definitely win at the Riverside Stadium, let alone Wolverhampton.

In McLaren's words, the team's confidence and fighting spirit can be reflected everywhere, but these remarks are somewhat official.But the Middlesbrough players didn't take that much into account. Facing the reporter's interview, they directly shouted the slogan of winning, and some of them were very arrogant. Among them, there was Middlesbrough's' Bad Boys' Greening.

Greening, with his long brown hair and a scar on his face, gave him a vicious look, and "wild, rough" was how most of the media described him.Because Greening's off-field life is very disorderly, even though he has outstanding skills, he has never been selected for the England national team. Later, he strongly advocated the introduction of this midfielder. Therefore, in Middlesbrough, Greening is an absolute supporter of McLaren.

But his bad habits can't be changed. Small actions on the court, indiscretions off the court, and nonsense in the face of the media all make him not loved by fans and the media, and he is also somewhat racially discriminatory. , always look down on the non-EU players in the team, even the outstanding Brazilian veteran Juninho is often excluded and ridiculed by him.

"The boss has already said that we will definitely win tomorrow's game. It's nothing, it's just a newly promoted horse. I am very confident that tomorrow I will let the newly promoted horse know that a newly promoted horse is a newly promoted horse. No matter how good the performance is, it is still a newly promoted horse!"

"So, Mr. Greening, Alan Wang of Wolverhampton has been performing very well recently. His average number of goals per game has reached 1.89. Excuse me, in tomorrow's game, Middlesbrough Have you made any tactical arrangements for him?" This reporter is very smart, and asking McLaren this kind of question will obviously not get any desired results, but this brainless Greening is likely to explode something big. news!

"Alan... Wang? This surname is really strange. I heard that he has half Asian blood? There will never be any outstanding football players in such a football desert. The reason why he performed well is because he has a significant other. He is of English descent. However, now that he has met me, it will be very difficult for him to show any signs of performance." Finally, Greening pretended to sigh.

In Greening's remarks, Wang Li was scolded as a 'mongrel', while he himself was a 'pure' Englishman, and it was impossible for a 'mongrel' to defeat a 'pure'.

After hearing what Greening said, the surrounding reporters were in an uproar. This is a blatant racist speech!And it's racial discrimination with abusive interest!

Within an hour, Greening's 'pedigree theory' spread throughout Middlesbrough, and even Wolverhampton, who had just arrived here, knew about it.

…………

In a hotel next to the riverside stadium, Wang Li was sitting by the bed, looking down at the gold Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, without saying a word, with no expression on his face.

"Alan, don't pay attention to that uneducated idiot. Eriksson didn't recruit him into the national team because of this." Seeing Wang Li's expression, Miller was a little worried, so he persuaded him from the side.

"Tomorrow I will have the opportunity to teach him a lesson. As a professional player, the real battlefield is on the football field." Kennedy said, he was also very angry at the remarks he heard today, and Wang Li just turned 17 years old. Wang Li will do something impulsive, so come and see.

Harrelson, who just came in from the door, walked quickly to Wang Li, put his hands on his shoulders, and shook him vigorously, "Alan, cheer up, you won't be so easily defeated by a few words, right?" !"

Wang Li raised his head slightly, a puzzled expression flashed across his face, and he blinked in a daze, "Are you talking about me?"

Miller was stunned, and after a while he said slowly: "Allen, when did you become as dull as Harry?"

"I'm slow? Fuck, Miller, Pete didn't come to Middlesbrough today, it seems that Alice is at home..." Halerson said, with a lewd smile on his face.

"roll!"

……

In fact, Wang Li was also very angry about Greening's remarks against him. This was a blatant insult, and it was an insult to race!
But counting, he has lived for more than [-] years, and he has already passed the age of impulsiveness. Maybe he does not have much experience in love, but when it comes to dealing with people, he has a very calm mind. It is useless at all, as Kennedy said, for a professional player, the green field is the real battlefield!

…………

Wang Li's inaction does not mean that he is cowardly, but rational.

But head coach Dave Jones obviously won't ignore the matter. After learning of Greening's remarks, he immediately held a simple press conference.

"Grining's racist remarks are discriminatory against all Asian players. This is a disgrace to English football. These remarks will cause psychological harm to my players and even all Asian players. I will appeal to the FA! "

"Anyone who can make such remarks is a time bomb hidden in the crowd, oh sorry, it seems that Greening is a 'time bomb', I don't know how McLaren would agree to such a bad quality Sorry, the word 'human' is really a compliment to him, it should be protected by WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals)."

…………

"That's a clown who likes to grandstand. I never pay attention to his remarks." That night, McLaren immediately fought back against Dave Jones' remarks.

"So what do you think of the team's forward Greening's remarks?" The reporters immediately asked.

"Grining's words are just emphasizing the team's confidence in the game, and there is no intention of racial discrimination. Rather than chasing words here, it is better to pay attention to tomorrow's game. Maybe Wolverhampton will be at the Riverside Stadium soon. Encountered Waterloo!"

..........
Regardless of the outcome of this debate, this battle of words led by Greening between the two head coaches has ignited the passion of the media and fans, and they are looking forward to tomorrow's game even more!

For the two head coaches, whoever can win tomorrow's game will be the final winner!
