Although Levi had talked to him about being a technical consultant before, Hodgson naturally pinched his nose to express his approval in order to be the head coach of the national team.

In this regard, when Levi was coldly dealt with as a technical consultant by the FA after winning two runner-ups, Hodgson was secretly happy. He did not become the head coach of the national team because he was recommended by Levi. Time to stand up in solidarity with Levi.

Hodgson just politely sent a text message to Li Wei to comfort him.

It can't be said that Hodgson is ungrateful. Everyone knows that Li Wei is a strong person. Otherwise, why would he have the nickname "tyrant"?

There has been a saying since ancient times that there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

So even though Li Wei once told Hodgson on the phone that he was only here to assist Hodgson, not to fight for power, Hodgson still felt uneasy.

I didn't expect this guy Li Wei to come in the end. At this time, Hodgson felt so aggrieved.

…………

Li Wei originally wanted to be a soy sauce maker, but he didn't expect that this technical consultant was not as simple as he imagined.

His agent, Jonathan Barnett, approached Levi as soon as possible, hoping that Levi could give him one or two places so that his clients could be selected for the England national team.

Jonathan Barnett is not simply asking Levi to pay, because the players proposed by Jonathan Barnett are very reasonable, and he hopes that Sturridge will be selected.And Sturridge is not only a client of Jonathan Barnett, he is also a player of Liverpool. His selection for the England national team is beneficial to Jonathan Barnett, Liverpool and Sturridge personally.

The second person who hopes to be selected for the England national team is not a Liverpool player, but he can be regarded as an acquaintance of Levi-Adam Lallana.

In this winter's transfer window, Chelsea bought Lallana from Liverpool at the price of the Premier League's winter transfer bid king.At that time, Chelsea's head coach was Villas-Boas. He bought Lallana because he valued Lallana's running ability and also to change his danger of getting out of class.Therefore, as soon as Lallana arrives at Chelsea, he is the absolute main force under Boas. As long as he is not injured, he will definitely be able to play.

Lallana did not disappoint Boas either. Before Boas dismissed get out of class in March, Lallana contributed two goals and four assists for the Blues.But as the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtier, after Boas got out of class, the newly appointed Di Matteo didn't like Lallana anymore. Di Matteo paid more attention to the old players, such as Lampard, Essien, Deb Lawrence and other players.

The bad thing is that the transfer window has not yet opened, and Chelsea has officially announced that Di Matteo will stay in office, which also means that Lallana's idea of ​​changing his position in the team through a coaching change will fail.

However, this is not the worst. It is said that Di Matteo is not satisfied with the team's midfield. He has persuaded the club to introduce more midfielders, such as the Brazilian genius Oscar and Hazard's younger brother Hazard. The players are all closely linked with Chelsea.

This also means that if everything comes true, Lallana may not even be able to get on the bench.

Jonathan Barnett came to Levi for help in order to change Lallana's situation.

He also spoke plausibly: "Benedict, I think you also hope that the Three Lions can go further in this European Cup, otherwise you may become the target of fans venting their anger. In this case, why don't you come here at this time? What about proposing your favorite player? When you think Hodgson has made a wrong adjustment, you can stand up and help him set things right and bring the Three Lions to the top."

…………

Levi was not completely convinced by Jonathan Barnett, but he also recognized some of the truth in Jonathan Barnett's words.

He did take it for granted before.

But he also knew that Hodgson had an opinion on him, so he did not go directly to Hodgson, but to the FA Chairman David Bernstein, and then asked David Bernstein to find Hodgson.With David Bernstein around, Hodgson also had some scruples and would not immediately turn against Levi.

Hodgson came to the office and was a little surprised to see Levi inside.

Hodgson asked: "Is there anything, Mr. Chairman?"

David Bernstein said: "Mr. Technical Advisor thinks it is necessary to discuss the 23-man roster."

Hodgson sneered: "When will Mr. Chairman and Mr. Technical Advisor be able to ask the Three Lions head coach about the formation?"

Although Li Wei knew that what he did would make Hodgson even more dissatisfied with him, he had to dampen Hodgson's spirit, otherwise the following conversation would not be easy to continue.

Li Wei threw a document on the table, crossed his legs and said to Hodgson: "If you read the contract carefully, you will know the reason."

Hodgson was stunned for a moment, and he immediately realized that the previous contract really stipulated that the technical consultant had the right to make suggestions on the roster.It's just that Levi, the technical consultant, has never been seen, and Hodgson has forgotten about it.

Hodgson was speechless for a moment.

Some people may have said that it is just a suggestion, and Hodgson can veto it.

However, it is actually not that simple. On the one hand, Levi is not alone this time, but has negotiated with the chairman of the FA, David Bernstein, and then called Hodgson.On the other hand, Hodgson vetoed the player proposed by Levi. The news was spread. Wasn't Hodgson scolded to death by the media?

If the Three Lions perform poorly in the European Cup, then Hodgson is even worse.And Li Wei can also avoid this pot, saying that the loss of the England national team was because Hodgson didn't listen to his advice and insisted on thinking that his decision was correct, and he could only watch the national team fail.

Hodgson was very helpless, and said: "Okay, now I will talk about the candidate in my mind."

Now there are only four days before the announcement of the list of 23 people, and Hodgson has basically determined the candidate in his heart.

He wrote down the personnel on each front on a piece of A4 paper.

Goalkeepers: Hart, Green, Butland.

Defenders: Terry, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole, Glenn Johnson, Phil Jones, Baines, Lescott, Jagielka.

Midfield: Walcott, Ashley Young, Gerrard, Parker, Downing, Lampard, Milner, Chamberlain.

Forwards: Rooney, Andy Carroll, Defoe, Welbeck.

This is basically the same as the list of candidates predicted by the media.
