Red Rebels

74 life-saving straw

"Starting from last night to this morning, a large group of angry fans surrounded Capello's villa in West London and the FA headquarters in Soho Square, demanding that someone must stand up and comment on last night's incident. That game gave a clear answer."

"Why on earth is England in the predicament it is in today?"

"The reporter contacted Capello, but his phone was turned off. No one could contact him and no one knew where he was. The angry fans almost destroyed his house, but he still didn't show up. The Football Association was also very worried. We quickly responded and said we would give fans a satisfactory answer as soon as possible."

"Ever since the Eriksen Zippergate incident, fans in England have not been so angry for a long time. They can't bear it. They have the world's best league, the world's best stars, and the world's best football team. Youth training, but in the end they couldn’t even make it to the World Cup finals.”

"But this is not the saddest thing. What is really sad is, why can't we reach the World Cup finals? Capello said he didn't know, the Football Association said he didn't know, the whole world said he didn't know, but the fans want is one who knows”

"England has an outstanding world-class player in every corresponding position, except goalkeeper, but is this the main culprit that makes it difficult for England to reach the World Cup finals in South Africa? Can this reason make fans feel relieved? Anger?"

"I find it difficult. What they want is a reform, a reform that allows all people in England to see the future clearly."

"The English League has been reformed and has become the number one league in the world; the English Championship has been reformed and is now rising with the English; the FA Cup and the League Cup have been reformed and now attracts countless strong teams to participate in the competition; the youth training system has been reformed Football talents in England are constantly emerging, but when will the England national team be willing to accept reforms?"

"There is no doubt that Capello is a world-class coach, but he is obviously not suitable for England. At least he does not bring to England what he insists on and the unique football elements of England. He and the England national team are like They are two men and women who don't call each other at all. Forcing them to get married will only lead to tragedy."

The earliest news broadcast on TV was about the World Cup qualifying match last night. It could be seen that England unexpectedly lost to Ukraine at home, which brought a huge disaster to England.

Missing the World Cup is definitely a big shame for England fans, because they have never missed the World Cup finals since the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, but now, they have almost missed the World Cup finals in South Africa.

"I think someone has to step up and clean up this mess.

But this person should not be Capello. Facts have proved that he is not suitable for today's England. He is undoubtedly a famous coach in the world, but his ideas have begun to derail from modern football, and he cannot bring more and more to England. core elements. "

Martin Samuel appeared on the news, apparently being interviewed.

"I have communicated with many friends. We all believe that what English football lacks today is not tactics and strength, but a person who can let us know how to play football well. This person must be familiar with and He understands English football, but he also has to have the most advanced football concepts."

"Someone proposed the old Redknapp, and I think he is quite suitable, but he may not be willing to accept the current position of the Three Lions. He has done a good job at Tottenham; some also proposed the Red Rebels coach Mourinho. Rinho, but don’t forget, the Portuguese has never thought about leaving the Red Rebels, and he once criticized Capello for being the national team coach, saying that he would not consider coaching the national team until he is old.”

In addition to Martin Samuel, the news also interviewed a number of British head coaches, such as the old Redknapp. He said that he had not received any calls from the Football Association, but he had no idea whether he would coach the Three Lions. Give a positive answer.

"I think it should be an Englishman" Ferguson firmly expressed his position.

"If I had to choose, I would only pick an Englishman to be the coach of the Three Lions, because only Englishmen can understand English football." Mourinho rarely has the same attitude as Ferguson.

"Although this may make me look very nationalistic, I believe that the person who is qualified to be the head coach of the England national team must be an Englishman. I hope I am not the only one who supports this idea." Wenger also expressed his position.

The British head coaches all have a very special understanding of this special football country, but there is no doubt that their understanding is not thorough enough, but they know very well that if they want to lead the England national team well, they must be able to understand this. The footballization of the country, and then getting involved with the players.

The one who can do this must not be Capello, because he can't even hear the dialect of some English players very clearly.

"According to the information we have received so far, the Football Association has convened an emergency board meeting at its headquarters in Soho Square where fans were besieged by fans. They will discuss Capello's future and stay at the meeting. If they decide to sack Capello, Perrault, who will be in charge of the Three Lions?"

According to the World Cup qualifying schedule, the next game of the England national team is in early June. There will be two World Cup qualifying games to be played by then. Although from practical considerations, the possibility of England qualifying is very, very small, but in the end it is still There is some hope, and after all this is an international level competition.

Xiao Yu stayed in his hotel room in London and watched the news, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

It's a bit chaotic outside now. It is said that many fans have taken to the streets to demonstrate, including Capello's apartment and the FA headquarters in Soho Square. They all want to vent their anger.

And it is said that after losing last night, many football hooligans in London neighborhoods started getting drunk and causing trouble again. All this seems to have brought English football back to before the reform.

The impact of the World Cup is huge, and the impact of missing the World Cup is also huge for England fans.

It is even so big that it may affect the English League. After all, fans are the foundation of football.

"I hope they can handle it as soon as possible."

Xiao Yu said with regret that as the vice-chairman of the Football Association, Walsh was attending an emergency meeting in Soho Square. More news would only be known after he returns.

But just as Xiao Yu had this idea, the phone rang.

"Xiao Yu" Walsh's voice came from the other end of the phone. From the phone, it could be heard that Walsh seemed to be in a fierce quarrel. It was probably a fierce dispute within the Football Association.

"What's going on, Andy?" Xiao Yu was not surprised by this situation.

Democracy means quarreling, quarreling at a meeting, and then resolutely implementing it after the meeting is over. This is democracy.

"They hope you can take time to come." Walsh didn't know how to explain.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yu asked again.

Walsh had some doubts, "Let's talk about it when we get here, I still have to deal with these guys."

"Okay then" Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.

"Oh, by the way, let David come too," Walsh reminded suddenly before hanging up the phone.

Xiao Yu was a little puzzled, but still nodded in agreement.

After leaving the room, they called Beckham. The two came to the hotel and asked a special car to take them directly to Soho Square.

…………

…………

Soho Square is a famous commercial street in London. It is home to almost all the world's famous media organizations. Sky TV, News Group, The Times... media, advertising, and even banking institutions are all gathered here.

When the Football Association decided to move its headquarters to Soho Square, it was opposed and questioned by countless traditional football people, who believed that this was an obvious manifestation of commercialization. However, over the years, as the tide in England has risen, all boats have risen. The voice of opposition gradually weakened.

When we arrived near Soho Square, we found that the place was crowded. Countless fans poured onto the street. They blocked various intersections and passages. Some of them even angrily set fire to the three-shirts they were wearing just now on the street corner. The Lions jersey vents his anger towards this unsatisfactory national team.

"We taught the world how to play football, and the irony is that we ourselves have now forgotten it."

'England needs to rebuild, and it needs to happen quickly'

"A bunch of incompetent, pathetic, neurotic, desperate trash that has made us the laughing stock of the world."

"A good head coach leaves people with classic command, but Capello leaves us with painful defeats and humiliations."

The fans on the streets held up banners one after another, and the people marching in the streets blocked the main thoroughfare of Soho Square. There were endless shouts of dismissal, dismissal, jokes, shame, etc. All the fans were angry and all. In protest.

In front of the FA headquarters in Soho Square, a large group of police officers stood guard there, maintaining order at the scene, for fear that the fans would cause trouble if they were not careful. After all, although there has been no news about football hooligans in England for a long time, Small incidents still happen repeatedly.

In this situation now, if something happens, it is likely to be fatal.

Xiao Yu and Beckham had to get out of the car and walk over, deliberately choosing a farther road. They were afraid that something would happen if they entered the crowd, so they could only walk around the crowd of demonstrators.

But even so, many people still recognized them.

"Look, that's Xiao Yu"

"And David Beckham"

"They all came to the FA headquarters. Are they coming for a meeting?"

Not only the fans saw Xiao Yu and the two, but also the reporters. The entire Soho district was their headquarters, and they knew it well. When Xiao Yu and the others arrived, they were immediately caught.

The reporters were covering the parade, but some reporters wanted to stop Xiao Yu and the two who were about to enter the FA headquarters, hoping to conduct an interview with them, but Xiao Yu and Beckham both said that everything was unclear. excuse for the reason.

After finally fighting their way through the reporters and demonstrators, Xiao Yu was already exhausted when they walked into the FA headquarters.

"These reporters can really mess with people," Beckham said with a wry smile.

"It's a bit abnormal. For the sake of sales, they often do everything possible to concoct news. If it were me, I would teach them a lesson as soon as possible." Xiao Yu is not interested in English journalists.

In fact, both Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels have a very good relationship with British reporters. At least they have never reported the scandals of the Red Rebels, and they get along well with the team. But this time When it comes to the England national team incident, it’s a bit unpleasant that these media are adding fuel to the fire.

Now is a troubled time. Although the England national team is unlikely to qualify, at this time they should not gloat and start a criticism meeting, but should rationally give advice to the Football Association and help analyze the situation.

At the beginning, they all regarded Capello as their savior, and they all exaggerated England's ability to win the World Cup. This caused many fans to blindly follow suit. Now that the team is in trouble, they immediately turned their guns and started criticizing. Conference, this is very much in the style of the English media, but it is also chilling.

After walking into the FA headquarters, a staff member immediately came forward and took Xiao Yu and Beckham into a smaller conference room. Then they arranged for someone to bring coffee, and then said they were going to notify Wall. Shi et al.

"Why did they invite us here?" Beckham was very familiar with this place and didn't feel unfamiliar at all. Instead, he took the initiative to greet Xiao Yu warmly.

Xiao Yu shook his head, "I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with the national team."

In this situation, no one would be willing to take over the England national team. It would be a thankless act. Therefore, although no one including the old Redknapp and others refused, the meaning of pushback was very obvious. .

When hiring foreign teachers, outstanding foreign teachers refuse to come, and those who are mediocre are better to reuse local people; and when hiring head coaches from home countries, frankly speaking, there are really no coaches in England who can be called famous, especially those who have the means to do so. Can hold down the current group of international players.

It is a good thing that the league is strong, but when the league is strong and the players are famous, if the national team coach does not have any weight, he will not be able to control them. That is why the Football Association considered Capello in the first place. After all, the Italians still have the same methods. Very strong.

Now it seems that Capello is not suitable for England, but who can take over?

While Xiao Yu and Beckham were chatting, FA Chairman David Triesman and Andy Walsh walked into the conference room side by side, followed by David Dunn. Look at their With his blushing face and thick neck, he probably had a big fight with many people at an emergency meeting.

"Okay, Xiao Yu, now that you're here, the most difficult problem has been solved." Walsh breathed a sigh of relief.

David Dunn came directly to Xiao Yu's side and patted Xiao Yu's shoulder hard, "I believe you will have a way to solve it. You never disappoint people, right?"

Everyone seems to regard Xiao Yu as a life-saving straw.
