Born to be a coach [soccer]

Sunderland, after winning the third round of the FA Cup against Liverpool, has ushered in a new change: Aston Villa re-submitted an offer to Sunderland for Vincent's transfer. This time they raised the price to 1000 million pounds.

Although Aston Villa previously violated the regulations and contacted Vincent privately, Sunderland did not appeal to the FA-because if it appeals, it is likely to lead to the failure of the transaction, and it will also be a blow to Sunderland. kind of loss.

Therefore, Vincent felt sure that the club was counting on him to earn a vote through this transfer.

Unexpectedly, when asked by the reporter, Anton said frankly: "The team actually needs a striker like Vincent very much. The last time Aston Villa made an offer, we felt that the other party did not show sincerity, and the offer did not reflect Vincent's real value, but obviously, this time they showed their sincerity."

"So, the attitude of the club is: we will respect the opinions of the players!" Anton said.

The ball was kicked back to Vincent.Now Vincent can no longer blame the club for selling the top scorer.He had to stand up and say: he has made the decision to leave the team.

Sunderland fans were very sad to hear that Vincent was determined to leave the club.Some fans felt cheated, and felt that Vincent used to talk sweetly and kept saying that he would stay for the team, but now whenever another team offered an olive branch, Vincent immediately stopped hugging him without looking back. I went... The fans really feel bad.

Fortunately-the team's new head coach Anton has developed a tactic that does not rely on Vincent, and the team used the new tactic to beat the giants Liverpool and help the team advance to the next round of the FA Cup.What's more, Vincent's transfer fee and the saved weekly salary can be used for them to find other new players.

When the fans thought of this, they also felt much better.

So the day Vincent left Sunderland, everyone was peaceful.All the staff in Guangming Academy, and Vincent's former teammates, what should everyone do? They didn't express any particular regret or anger at Vincent's departure.Many people didn't even express anything, but when Vincent came to say goodbye to everyone, he would go up to him in a friendly way, shake hands with him, and wish him all the best in the future.

Not paying attention is the greatest contempt. The more peaceful the breakup, the more it seems that this relationship is irrelevant.

Vincent was really upset.However, the club was kind and honest, and did not reveal Vincent's "violation", so Vincent understood that this meant getting together and leaving.He'd better be respectful to his former club in the future and not have any slanderous words.

Next, Sunderland started their devil's schedule. On the 18th, they played against West Bromwich Albion at home. On January 1, they played at home in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Burnley. On January 23, they played against Crystal Palace at home and on January 27. Leicester City.Several British Championship opponents are all strong opponents, ranking in the top of the standings, and they all hold back their energy and want to be promoted this year.Needless to say, the FA Cup opponent Burnley, they are playing well in the Premier League.

At the same time, Sunderland's lineup is somewhat disorganized. After the head striker Vincent left, Sunderland has not yet found a striker who can replace him.So now Anton can only make do with the existing manpower in his hands, and slightly adjust the 460 formation that he used against Liverpool that day, and use this lineup to continue to fight against other opponents in the British Championship.

His method really worked, and the No. 18 team beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 cleanly at home.Nubel and Eriksson each scored a goal.What's even more gratifying is that the team's defense did a good job and achieved zero opponents.

But on the 23rd, the same approach did not work so smoothly against Burnley - Burnley's defense was so good that it was almost watertight.Moreover, Burnley studied Sunderland's two games against Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion in advance, and did some research on the characteristics of each player in the midfield.The Sunderland players clearly felt they were being suppressed.

Of course, the team won the game in the end: in stoppage time in the second half, Sunderland relied on Jones to force a foul and scored with Eriksson's free kick.At the last moment, the team won three points.

The Sunderland supporters made a huge difference in this game against Burnley, a squad of diehard fans singing and dancing in the stands at the Stadium of Light and a cheerleader until stoppage time , My voice is hoarse.They also witnessed the home team win from behind the opponent's goal-the moment of the lore, the entire Stadium of Light went crazy.

However, after this FA Cup match, there were many voices of criticism, most of which were aimed at Anton.These voices criticized the tactical changes after his arrival as too simple and easy to be figured out. The "no front formation" has made other opponents vigilant and began to study ways to deal with it. Jones' breakthrough and Eriksson's world wave will be understood sooner or later.

Some people think that it is very unwise for Sunderland to let go of the leading striker Vincent in this way. It is easy for the team to earn 1000 million, but it is difficult to buy a similar one from the market.

"A novice is a novice!" Ruben Smith, who has always bad-mouthed Anton, wrote triumphantly on his blog, "I heard that in the far east, there is a hero named Cheng Yaojin, who can win with three tricks. Fight all the battles. But, dear Anton, this is not the East you are familiar with, nor is it Italy. This is England, and you cannot help the team return to the Premier League with the "three axes" alone!"

Ruben triumphantly showed off the little Chinese proverbs he learned at the Chinese Academy in Cambridge when he was young, but he had to carefully conceal his original judgment error: he originally expected that Anton would not be able to help Sunderland avoid relegation, but now Sunderland has won two league games in a row. Although the 6-point advantage is not considered "huge", Sunderland has begun to exert its strength and gradually left behind its former relegation "partners" who were sympathetic to each other.

So now Ruben can only secretly change his rhetoric, saying that Anton can't help Sunderland get promoted.

After two tough battles, the players were visibly exhausted.The team's nutritionist, Joyce Rohm, changed his ways to provide the players with a variety of meals, and sometimes even gave the players special "extra meals" after training.

But on the 24th, at the end of the training, Qiao's mother was waiting for the players to come in the dining room. She waited for the players to come, and waited for no one to come. Qiao's mother simply put on her coat and went out to find someone.But I saw the players of the team set off from the Guangming Academy in twos and threes, and the adult players with cars brought the boys from the youth training team.

Seeing everyone going out happily, Mother Qiao was confused and confused. Seeing that Anton also picked up Haldosson and Eriksson in the distance, they left Guangming Academy together.As soon as Mother Qiao turned around, she saw assistant coach Russell walking to the door holding the car key in his hand.Mother Qiao asked, "Russell, what is Anton going to do... In such a cold day, do you want to go on a picnic?"

Russell has always been most afraid of this female chef with a temper and attitude, so he hurriedly entertained him honestly: "Mother Qiao, Anton said that he is taking the big guy to the movies..."

It turned out that Anton's idea was to take the whole team to watch a movie together to relax and relieve the pressure in the team and the nervousness of the players.Qiao's mother was shocked immediately: "Where is it?"

Russell confessed honestly: "At the Central Cinema..." The cinema in the city center is not far from the Stadium of Light.

Mother Qiao immediately turned around and went back to the office to get her car keys, and she did not forget to tell Russell: "Tell Anton, I will go with you, so don't even think about popcorn and Coke! I will bring them some Roasted cauliflower for snacks..."

Russell imagined it out of thin air, a big boy in a theater, watching a movie while chewing... "roasted cauliflower"? !

But Mother Qiao kept her promise, and she really packed a large box of roasted cauliflower in the trunk and brought it to the Central Cinema.What is being shown now is the movie "Devil United" about the famous England coach Brian Clough.It just so happened that Brian Clough also played for Sunderland and was a "star" of Sunderland.

The club rented out a small hall, and the team members sat in rows in the projection hall according to age and group.Fearing that Qiao's mother would "settle accounts after the autumn", none of the team members dared to eat popcorn and drink Coke, and everyone only had a bottle of mineral water in their hands.

Then the special "roasted cauliflower" made by Joe's mother was served in small paper boxes and handed out to the players one by one.To be honest, Mother Qiao’s cooking skills were really good. The cauliflower was roasted crisp and refreshing, with a layer of chili powder and cumin powder sprinkled on it for seasoning. The players ate it with gusto.

Fortunately, the club had booked the screening room. If there were other spectators present at this time, they might laugh when they saw the Sunderland players eating "cauliflower" instead of popcorn.

Mother Qiao found Anton in the corner of the last row of the last theater and sat down beside him.A row in front of the two of them sat the "literary youth" Halldosson and Eriksson.The plot of the movie was ups and downs, Eriksson watched without blinking, but Halldosson paid attention to the composition of the screen, the application of the lens, and the editing technique of the British movie all the time... and often whispered in the ears of his roommates. While explaining in a low voice, analyze the similarities and differences between British films and Nordic films.

And Qiao's mother sat beside Anton, looked forward, saw the players of the entire club, nodded, and whispered: "It's great that this big family is neat and tidy!" The players are seen as her own children.

Anton smiled beside Qiao's mother and said, "Yes!"

Unexpectedly, Mother Qiao turned her head with resentment, looked at Anton, and said in a low voice, "You really are, you only know how to relieve stress with a group of children like them, and you don't even think about yourself!"

"I see, in the whole of Sunderland, the person with the most pressure is you, and you are still carrying it all by yourself!"

The author has something to say: By the way, the British football movie mentioned in the article.

"The Damned United" (The Damned United) is also translated as "Damned United". It is about the British football coach (also a Sunderland legend) Brian Clough who took charge of the British giants Leeds United for 1974 days in 44. The story of get out of class is over.

Brian Clough is a legendary coach with a very flamboyant personality. He once said: "I will not say that I am the best head coach in this line of work, but I am definitely one of the top." He also once commented Mourinho, the latecomer: "You are all right, he is indeed a bit like me when I was young, but he is not as good as me."

But this British film itself only takes the biggest failure of the protagonist's career and shoots it into a sports inspirational film. This idea... emmmmm, very special.

This movie was released in England in 2009, and the timeline in this article has reached the beginning of 2010, so it should still be available in theaters.
