football dynasty

However, a year later, Shankly, who had just turned [-], made a shocking decision: to retire!
Although he publicly explained that he wanted to leave time for his wife Ness and family, it is really puzzling that he chose to leave when the Red Army was about to climb to the top.Perhaps only "personality" can be used to describe his decision.

Before leaving, Shankly recommended assistant coach Paisley to the club.

The [-]-year-old Paisley is a former Liverpool captain, self-taught as the club's team doctor, and later as an assistant coach, Shankly's right-hand man.For him who was used to standing behind the scenes, it was not an easy decision to succeed the great Shankly, but in the end he accepted the mission.

Since then, assistant coach succession has become a hallmark of the Boot Room.

It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business.

Compared with Shankly, a Scot with an extroverted personality and a strong personality, Paisley, an Englishman, treats people generously. He is good at convincing people with reason, rather than overwhelming them with momentum.

Jessie, Paisley's widow, recalled: "Bob always remembered a line the elementary school principal told him, 'If you speak softly, people will listen to you, and if you yell, people will run away.'"

The gentle Paisley and the personality-filled Shankly are completely opposite coaches, but Liverpool players quickly adapted to Paisley's coaching, and achieved amazing results under his gentle strength-won [-] championships in [-] years, of which Including [-] European Champions Cups, [-] League Championships, [-] UEFA Cup, [-] League Cups, and won the double crown four times.

In the summer of [-], Paisley announced his retirement due to physical illness, giving up his seat to assistant coach Fagan (the head coach who brought beer to the boot room).

In [-], the Red Army reached a new height in the club's history under Fagan. They won the Champions League, League and League Cup Triple Crown.

Had it not been for the Heysel tragedy before the Champions League final in [-], Fegan might have retired as honorably as Shankly and Paisley, and the tradition of the boot room would have lasted longer.But the facts cannot be changed. English clubs were banned from participating in European competitions within [-] years, Liverpool was fined for one year, and English football has since sunk.

Then Scottish striker Dalglish made a triple jump and became a Liverpool player and coach, completely breaking the tradition of the boot room.

But with the help of the legendary head coach Paisley, he quickly stabilized the morale of the army.

And from [-] to [-], he led Liverpool to three league titles and two runner-ups.

But the Hillsborough tragedy in [-] dealt Dalgliesh a hard blow.

In [-], Dalglish, whose head was about to explode, resigned, and the two rising stars of the boot room, Moran and Evans, took charge successively, but they were unable to turn the tide.

In November [-], Evans took the initiative to give up and hand over the burden to Houllier, and the legendary boot room era came to an end.

Levi is going to take this opportunity to restart the boot room. Of course, this boot room is no longer the original boot room. It is a place for players and coaches to communicate, and it can also be a place for everyone to relax after the game.The humble boot room is no longer suitable to be the "brain" of modern football.

…………

On May [-]th, the next day is the match between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

This morning, the training of Liverpool players was very brief. They finished training just after ten o'clock in the morning and were asked to go to the boot room.

Liverpool players are no strangers to the boot room. Even though the boot room has declined as early as the last century, and even no longer assumes the role of the boot room and has become a utility room, it does not hinder the players who just came to Liverpool. Curiosity Let's take a look at this small room with a legendary color.

The boot room they saw today was completely different from what they had seen before. The debris inside had been removed by the staff, and it was empty.

It's not strictly empty either, there's a wooden crate of beer against the wall, but that's about it.

After the players entered the boot room, they crowded the small space so densely that some members of the coaching staff had to stand outside the corridor.

Levi was the last to come in, and he sat in the only place available—a beer box.

But he soon felt that it was not convenient to talk like this, he had to look up at his players, so he stood up again, but he was not standing on the ground, he was stubbornly standing on the beer box.

Although this beer box is no longer the wooden box of the past, as long as it is in the boot room, it has a legendary color.

"Recently, I have heard, seen, and even personally felt a lot of transfer scandals. Those are true and those are false. I can't guarantee the accuracy. After all, the other club is in contact with you in private. As long as you don't Say, who knows?" When Li Wei said this, he saw that many players looked unhappy.

Levi knows the thoughts of these players. It is no longer the 21th century. After entering the [-]st century, the players' mentality, ideas, and autonomy have become different.The club no longer becomes a mere home, but a company.From the employee's point of view, I'm good at work, and someone else wants to poach me, why don't I talk to the other party?Who doesn't want to have a better future (money)?
Li Wei changed the subject decisively. "I don't want to understand these things clearly. Now that the first decade of the 21st century has passed, the times are different. In the past, mobile phones were rare and luxury items, but now mobile phones are necessities and civilians. Players Thinking of playing in a better environment and making more money, I can understand that. I think Yaya Toure should understand that."

Yaya Toure was stunned, but he nodded and said: "I played under the boss when he was in Parma. When Barcelona wanted to buy me, the boss really didn't force me to stay. He just wanted to buy me." Barcelona made a suitable offer."

Levi went on to say: "Many people say that modern football is money football. I don't make any comments on whether this sentence is right or wrong. But as Yaya Toure said, whether it's Parma or Liverpool, I don't care. I have never forced to keep any player. The reason why I say this is to hope that everyone understands, put away your little thoughts, and don't think about transfers. After the game, whoever wants to transfer, give Let me make a phone call. As long as the transfer fee offered by the other party matches your worth, there is no problem! You should have a better future, and Liverpool can also use this money to cultivate a good player."
