Chapter 53: The Spare Tire Charlotte
Apart from the fact that they are both London teams, Crystal Palace and West Ham have one thing in common.That is rough play, big moves, and tough physical confrontation.The violent play of these two teams is not much lower than the notorious Reading and Millwall.

Fortunately, Queens Park Rangers, another "rough mine" team in London, has been promoted to play in the Premier League this season. Teams with technical schools such as Millwall and Leeds United Charlotte simply cannot play happily with them.

Charlotte couldn't help but think of another London team, the "Crazy Gang" Wimbledon who are currently playing in League Two.
It can be understood from the nickname of this team, and they still hold the world record for the fastest yellow card after the start of the game on the football field-three seconds! ! !
Queens Park Rangers, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Wimbledon.
"The London team is the most annoying!!" On the highway from Southampton to London, Charlotte in the Southampton bus sighed.

"So, I hate the London team the most!!" After the match against Crystal Palace, Charlotte sighed again.

Of course, there is a reason for this, because Charlotte's team is tied.
"Damn it, what the fuck, it's another draw, another draw!!" Charlotte was going crazy on the streets of London.

Although the team did not win the game, Charlotte gave the team two days off.The reason is that the players who have been pressured by the recent intensive schedule are a little breathless, and most of the team are young players. If the steel wire is pulled so tightly for a long time, it will definitely break.

And the next game will start on September [-]th. During this period, there will be an international match day, and there are very few players in the Southampton team that have been selected for the national team. Well, there are none.

So Charlotte has thirteen days to continue his tactical drills. He regards these thirteen days as very important, even no less than the previous pre-season training.However, sharpening the knife is not the same as chopping firewood. The team has just played a month of intensive games, almost double games every week, and even played three games in seven days.

Under such circumstances, high-pressure training is definitely not acceptable, and it is related to the recent reactions of fans, media and club presidents.If Charlotte conducts high-pressure training, maybe the players will rise up and rebel. In world football, there are really many examples of players uniting to kill the head coach.

So after the game ended, Charlotte directly announced that the team would disband on the spot in London and take a two-day holiday.The next assembly will be at the Staplewood training ground on August [-]th.

There have been five rounds in the league, and Southampton led by Charlotte achieved a mediocre record of two wins and three draws.Now the Saints have accumulated nine points, ranking No.11 in the league standings without any pain. The relegation zone is bottomless, and the promotion zone can't see the sky.
The owner of Southampton, the boss Katerina Liebherr, manages the business of the Liebherr Group in Switzerland. Her father, Markus Liebherr, has just passed away, and the family has carried out a new round of profit distribution.The international headquarters of Liebherr in Switzerland is firmly established. The second generation members of the Liebherr family, Iseld Liebherr and Willy Liebherr, are at the helm. They are the brothers of Markus.

In addition to the billions of pounds, Marcus Liebherr’s legacy to his daughter Katerina also includes the Southampton Club and some small companies. Of course, Marcus’ original intention is that the owner of the club is himself. daughter, but the operation and execution of the club must be his former right-hand man, Swiss banker Nicola Curtis.

After all, Curtis has the ability to run this club, and he also knows the football industry very well.

But Katerina obviously doesn't want to be a "puppet" boss, she wants to be another Abramovich, she wants to be the master of Southampton.

But in the eyes of fans and club executives, this is the behavior of a layman and an expert. This is undoubtedly dragging the entire Southampton club back.

Katerina and Curtis battle each other for power in the club.

And Charlotte is the product of the fisherman's profit after the two of them competed.

Whoever gets the position of the head coach will have the upper hand in this battle between dragons and tigers.When Curtis went to Spain to inspect players two months ago, he met an Argentine coach and had a good chat with him.

And the Spaniard, coached by the Argentine, ranked sixth in La Liga last season, and his results were very good. He has coached the Spaniard for two seasons, and the team's results are ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the standings, and they even hope to hit the UEFA Cup. seats.

And after he took office, the Spaniard's tactical style also changed drastically, becoming more... well, more beautiful.

So Curtis hopes to invite this new good friend to take charge of the Saints and lead the Saints to the Premier League.

And what about Katrina?He doesn't know any head coaches. He does know Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho, Guardiola, Capello, and Heathfield, but let them coach Southampton, who has just been promoted from the League One to the Championship?

Even if Katerina doesn't understand football, she knows it's bullshit.

But where did she know the other head coaches? What if a head coach colludes with that nasty Curtis to form an alliance?Moreover, she also learned through a special channel that Curtis is currently fighting fiercely with an Argentine who coaches in the Spanish First Division, and they are "like glue". Maybe an agreement will be reached soon.
Just when Katerina was struggling, Charlotte, a frisky Pleasant Goat, came into the sight of her, the Red Wolf.
Only 23 years old?It doesn't matter!No coaching experience?It doesn't matter!From football desert China?It doesn't matter!
Katerina only cares about two things. First, this "little fresh meat" does not belong to that guy Curtis. Second, the other party has a FIFA A-level coaching certificate, so he is fully qualified in theory and legal procedures. To coach a Premier League team, these two points are enough.

As for the others, as long as the team does not relegate for the time being and Charlotte holds the head coach position, she will have time to find a "real" head coach.At that time, it will be simple, if this little fresh meat is lucky enough to gain a firm foothold?No problem, just give him a real official contract, anyway, he is "one of our own".

And if Xiao Xianrou is unreliable, is it a silver-like pewter gun head?It doesn't matter, he was fired directly, and the other head coach is "one of his own" anyway.

So Katerina just hopes that Charlotte will hold the position of head coach. After all, he, Charlotte, is just a spare tire. Spare. Spare. Tire. Tire.
Curtis is very clear about this, so he can't wait for this little kid to get out of here, and then he quickly let the Argentine named Pochettino take the blame, to put out the fire!

But Charlotte didn't know. He was still wondering at the beginning, thinking that the fat aunt Katerina had taken a fancy to him and wanted to sacrifice her appearance.

As a result, he ran to Switzerland a few days later and has not returned until now.

Southampton is so lively, it is impossible for the owner not to know that if she hadn't cared about the operation of the club, she would not have fought for power with Curtis in the first place.

So while wandering the streets of London, the relaxed Charlotte received a call from her boss.

Katerina didn't get angry, or question anything.Her tone was very flat, she just asked about the team's recent situation in a formal manner, and then asked Charlotte for her own opinion.

What can Charlotte say?Of course, it means that the team does not have any problems, and it is just a running-in period.

Also, after Charlotte took office, the team's style of play is completely different from the previous style. Naturally, it will take more time to adapt, and the team's large-scale reorganization this summer will of course take time to establish a tacit understanding.

So Katerina also expressed her understanding. Anyway, the team's current ranking is not bad, at least it has made a good start for her "relegation relegation cause".
