champion godfather

Chapter 472 Special Invited Reviewer of Volume [-] Storm
Half a week after the two of Twain arrived in Germany, the much-anticipated World Cup in Germany finally kicked off.

Apart from living in the two rooms next door to the same hotel, Dunn and Tang didn't act together most of the time. Whether it was eating or traveling, they were separated.Tang En acted together with the people from BBC TV, while Tang was alone.The focus of their work is also different.

Because of the contract, Twain has to travel to various cities with BBC5, mainly as a guest commentator for England's national team matches. With him, besides his old acquaintance John Mortenson, the former England captain, Premier League forward of the decade, Alan Shearer.

Twain had of course been familiar with this legend in English football, but at that time all he saw was his demeanor on the pitch.Sitting in the broadcast room and commenting on the game together like this still gave Tang En a very special feeling.

Don acted alone and did not follow the TV broadcast plan.He mainly goes to those games that are not watched in England, especially those weak teams.He hoped to dig out the pearls and rough stones that Twain needed. Now he doesn't know what the Forest team's transfer budget for the new season is, so he can only start from the most affordable candidates.

Tang En completely believed in Tang's vision and ability to see people.After all, there is only one George Wood who really relied on his own level to cultivate in his position, while Michael Dawse and Andy Reed, who were outstanding among players of the same age back then, were all cultivated by Tang himself.

Twain believes that the stage for him to perform to the fullest is definitely not scouts, assistant coaches, youth team coaches, or discovering, digging and cultivating new players, but leading a team to the championship.And Tang can complement him very well. His nitpicking on details will make him an excellent assistant. When the time comes, in the team's daily training, he will be in charge of specific affairs and operations, while Tang En will only be responsible for formulating the general direction. and routes.The division of labor and cooperation between the two can allow them to play their best in the fields they are most familiar with.

BBC5 invited Twain to serve as a special commentator during this World Cup, probably because of his current popularity.Tony Twain, the head coach of football this season, has become extremely popular due to the continuous incidents that have been hyped up by the news media.And this star-like situation reached a peak after the European Champions Cup final.After the game, he publicly criticized the referee who was law enforcement for the game as stupid and mindless, and embarrassed UEFA in public at the awards ceremony, which made it difficult for the heads and brains who are in charge of European football to get off the stage.

Ever since BBC 5 announced that it would invite Twain to be a special guest commentator during the World Cup, it immediately attracted the attention of other major media.Before Dunn started working, he had already attracted enough attention for his temporary employer.

People were expecting the England-native character coach to strike a chord with John Mortensen, famous for his passionate commentary, during his first televised commentary.

"I really didn't expect that we would cooperate in this way." At the scene of the World Cup in Germany, Mortensen offered to extend his hand after seeing Twain.

Tang En knew the narrator in front of him, and he also knew that he was the one who supported him. Although sometimes he was harsh when he criticized him, he was also a mean person, so the two of them seemed to have similar interests.

"I think Eriksson is going to be unlucky." Tang En shook back with a smile.

Mortensen laughed: "I also want to worry that you will be nervous, so I will enlighten you on how you usually deal with reporters and how you comment on the game... It seems unnecessary."

Tang En followed him and laughed happily.

Alan Shearer, a serious person, looks a bit strange next to him.

This is a behind-the-scenes episode before the live broadcast of the game.Tang En was looking forward to his first TV commentary job, and he did his homework seriously.He went to specifically understand the current situation of England's opponent Paraguay in this game, as if he was studying the opponent as England's head coach.

This collocation of BBC5 is also very reasonable and classic.John Mortensen is a veteran sports commentator in England. His sharp words and passionate commentary style make others like him very much, and those who hate him hate him very much.He will serve as the series and coordinator in the game commentary, similar to the host in an entertainment show.And Alan Shearer is an active Newcastle player, as well as a former England main striker and captain. He will comment on the game from the perspective of the players during the game.As the head coach, Tony Twain naturally analyzed the game from the perspective of the tactical adjustments of the two head coaches.

In this way, the audience can understand the information of the game from all aspects.

England's group match against Paraguay is the third match of the World Cup.

Dunn was no longer willing to think about the outcome of a match that happened at the same time in another space.Because that is meaningless for this game, knowing the score of this game in another space, will it help England's performance in this game?Can you make sure England don't repeat their old mistakes?

Tang En was not at all optimistic about England's prospects in the World Cup, and this had nothing to do with his knowledge of England's performance in this World Cup.The problem of English football is a chronic disease, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Even the self who did not travel in the past has never been optimistic about England's prospects in international competitions.

This is a team that has become deluded after being overhyped by its well-developed media.

Apart from winning a World Cup at home in 1966, as the originator of modern football, does the England team have any commendable achievements?nothing.

The prosperity of the Premier League makes people feel that the strength of the England national team should also be strong.Although Twain agrees that the league is the foundation of a country's football level, he disagrees with the idiotic practice of directly equating the league level with the national team level.What's more, the prosperity of the Premier League is still a lot of moisture blown out by the media...

Why are domestic stars in England always more expensive than stars of the same level in other countries on the European continent?Why are there so many teenage geniuses in England, but not many of them were born in the end?
All thanks to their developed media.

The hype and a series of mature publicity systems have made it easier for England players to be portrayed as great "stars" in the eyes of the public. This is related to England's national character and their once glorious history of the empire on which the sun never sets There are also origins.

Your own is always the best...

This is Tang En's true thoughts. He believes that the low level of English football - in the eyes of the English people, this is a temporary low level - has nothing to do with the level of the head coach, the real strength of the players, the food cooked by the cook, or alcoholism Nature has nothing to do... This is purely a national problem, which has no solution at all.Maybe they may perform well in a certain competition, and with luck, they can win the championship, but the improvement of their overall level is still zero.

Of course, this sounds a bit like Chinese football, but no matter how low people are, it is better than the real "zero eggs" of Chinese football.

However, Tang En would not express his thoughts in the game commentary. The English people would not allow others to speak ill of them easily, especially the sensitive topic of nationality.Tang En didn't want to be a public enemy.

Mortensen hoped that he would comment on the game from the perspective of the head coach, so Dunn kept targeting Eriksson during the live broadcast of the game.

The main focus of his criticism of Eriksson is the use of "double virtue".

Both Lampard and Gerrard are the core midfielders of their respective teams. They have performed very well in their respective clubs. It stands to reason that there is no problem in playing the main force in the national team at the same time.But something went wrong.Lampard and Gerrard, who performed very well in Chelsea and Liverpool, will be in the England national team. As long as they play at the same time, one of them must perform poorly, or both of them will perform poorly.

Any fool can see that these two players have completely overlapped positions and roles on the court. Playing at the same time is not just a simple waste, but also a bit similar to "same poles repel each other". They interfere with each other, and neither of them can perform well.

Why does Eriksson still insist on having two players start at the same time?Can't he see the problem?Of course, Tang En would not criticize Eriksson for being stupid. What he criticized was that the Swede indulged his big-name players too much.

This is a direct conflict between the two coaching philosophies.Twain belongs to the type where the collective is above everything else. As long as he is the head coach and an authority and a star in his team, all the players must listen to him. He will never make a move just because he wants to accommodate a certain star player. Sacrifice your tactics.

Eriksson, on the other hand, is more pampering stars, relying on big-name players to decide the game, and is a bit partial to the "star effect".This allows him to mingle with the players, and his status in the hearts of the players is not low. When he repeatedly fell into no-confidence cases with the Football Association, the players were on his side.In a sense, this can be regarded as a kind of "love".But the price of his fiery relationship with the players was at the expense of England's competitiveness in the World Cup.

In the game against Paraguay, Eriksson's team played groggy under the scorching afternoon sun in Frankfurt, without bright spots.

"...I don't see England winning this game at all, I don't even know if Eriksen wants to win... Of course he wants to win, but I don't think he wants to win until he proves it... …Irving is back from injury and completely out of shape, why start him and Wayne Rooney? Crouch is a perfect fit for a game like this, I've coached the high guys, I know what he's capable of...see, I was right , Eriksson replaced, Crouch came on, replaced Irving... simple and rude, no technical content... I'm sorry, I want to sleep for a while, call me when I score..."

This is an excerpt from Twain's comments during the game.

The game was drowsy, Paraguay didn't have any threatening attacks, and neither did England. Neither side seemed to want to take a more active approach to score goals, just wasted in the hot sun.The audience was lethargic and extremely boring.

So, when Beckham used a signature free kick to pass the football over the head of the Paraguayan team Zhang Gamara and sent it into the goal, Twain finally "woke up" under the roar of Mortensen.

"Yo, the goal went in? Or an own goal! Awesome! Eriksson can breathe a sigh of relief."

Relying on the opponent's own goal, the England team won the game with difficulty.

After the game, Tang En spent a lot of space in his post-match commentary articles for the "Nottingham Evening Post" and China's "Sports Weekly" to describe an interesting thing he discovered during the game-England goalkeeper David Robinson Bigfoot When kicking off, he kicked the football directly onto the big TV screen hanging above the middle of the court, and almost couldn't get it off...

This matter made Tang En laugh for a long time in the comment room, and he kept repeating it to his two partners during the intermission.During the commentary, he joked that it was a pity that the football still fell in the end. He really hoped that the football would not fall, so that the game would not be so boring.

George Wood, who was selected for England for the first time in this game and participated in the World Cup, has been shuttling back and forth between the bench and the warm-up area, and did not get even a minute of playing time.This is normal, after all, the England team has accumulated too many stars in the midfield. Gerrard and Lampard must be present at the same time, plus captain Beckham, Joe Cole, Hargreaves... there is no such thing at all. This leaves room for recruit Wood to play.

The problem in this game is not in midfield defense, but in organizing offense.Wood's going up doesn't help the team.Tang En didn't criticize Eriksson much for his decision.It shows that he is not a person who throws dirty water recklessly.

After the live broadcast of the game ended, BBC5 received many feedback calls from viewers, most of whom criticized Dunn's commentary on the style of the game.They thought that Tang En was not suitable to be a guest commentator at all, because his words were too offensive and contained obvious personal feelings. Some people even suspected that Tang En was taking advantage of this job opportunity to vent his personal grievances.

Tang En's response to this was to shrug his shoulders. He didn't want to explain too much.He is a commentator, not a narrator who needs to be objective and neutral at all times, isn't he here just to express his personal opinion?Others may be afraid of offending others, but Tony Twain is not.

Of course, he did have some intentions to take this opportunity to vent his personal anger... because he has never liked Eriksson as a coach.I feel that he is weak. This is a conflict of personality, and there is no way to change it easily.

The BBC also supported him.They knew that no matter how many people hated Twain's commentary style, the ratings would definitely increase in the next game.Because those people still want to see what kind of fresh words Tang En has to throw out this time, so that they can continue to find faults and call to complain.

Those who like him will continue to support him and watch him laugh and scold in front of the TV.People who hate him will also pay attention to him, collect his "criminal evidence", and prepare to bring him down.

In short, this is a character that you can't ignore whether you like it or hate it.

BBC5 has signed a good deal. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.QIDIAN.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
