Football coach

2 February 4, Cardiff Millennium Stadium. ??

League Cup final.

Originally, the Carabao Cup final was supposed to be played at Wembley Stadium, but Wembley Stadium is now overhauled, so the game was moved to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.The Cardiff Millennium Stadium was unveiled in 1999. It was built by the Welsh Rugby Union for the 1999 Rugby World Cup at a cost of 1 million pounds. The stadium can accommodate 26 spectators. Playing field with retractable canopy.

Very big.

It's a very big stadium for England and a very advanced one.

Cheers, boos, singing, all kinds of sounds have been mixed together before the game starts.It makes people feel that this is not an ordinary game, this is the League Cup final.

"Friends from the audience, hello everyone. This is the CCTV Sports Channel. The game we are broadcasting live now is the English League Cup final. I am Huang Jianxiang, and I am explaining with Zhang Lu. Teacher Zhang Lu, I read the report that the West Han Mu’s coach Chen Ping was one of the football association’s coaches studying abroad program ten years ago, I don’t know if you know about it.”

CCTV.

It still has a lot of influence, and what to do is still very fast.When CCTV decided to broadcast the League Cup final live, it quickly negotiated a live broadcast contract with the UK.

CCTV's sports channel began broadcasting the game live.

"This matter."

Zhang Lu dragged the end for a long time, and then said: "In fact, the Football Association had two plans back then. One plan was the player's study abroad plan, and the other was the coach's study abroad plan. The player's study abroad was later Jianlibao's study in Brazil, and the coach's study abroad plan. It was to study in the UK. At that time, I remember that more than 20 people went to study in the UK. Coach Chen Ping should have participated at that time.”

In fact, Zhang Lu is very familiar with the inside story.

At the beginning, it was indeed the Football Association's plan, and air tickets, meals, and studies were all funds advanced by the Football Association.However, with the change of leadership of the Football Association, the Football Association soon forgot about these people, and many people chose to return to China halfway due to economic reasons.

There are very few who can stay and get the coaching qualification, and there is only one person like Chen Ping who has taken root in English football.But it's hard to say something like this.Speaking out is not to criticize the Football Association at that time.

Huang Jianxiang also knew some things inside.

He just wanted to introduce the events of that year.Therefore, he quickly changed the subject and began to introduce Chen Ping's achievements in England.

"Let's take a look at the achievements of Coach Chen Ping. After he got the coaching certificate, he entered Oxford United, a League One team that was still in England's second-tier league at the time, as the coach of the youth team. Three years later, Oxford United was relegated to the The English C League, the English C League is the fourth league in England. After Oxford United was relegated, Coach Chen Ping began to serve as the head coach of Oxford United. In the next two seasons, Coach Chen Ping achieved very good results, and Oxford United turned out to be twice in two years. It is precisely because of such outstanding performance that coach Chen Ping was chosen by West Ham, who had just been relegated from England, and became the head coach of West Ham. Coach Chen Ping has performed extremely well in West Ham this season. Ranked No.1 in League One, 3 points ahead of No.[-] West Bromwich Albion. It can be said that West Ham's promotion is a certainty."

Everyone was not familiar with West Ham.

After all, it is a League One team.But in order to explain this game well, both Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Lu have carefully studied West Ham's games this season.It is relatively simple for CCTV to obtain some information.

"Not only that, West Ham's performance in the League Cup this season is amazing. From the third round of the English League Cup, they eliminated Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal and other strong teams all the way, and finally entered the League Cup final. If If West Ham can win the championship in this game, coach Chen Ping will become the youngest champion coach in English football."

tout.

Tout of course.CCTV chose to broadcast the League Cup final live in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of Chinese fans.There are factors of ratings and political factors.

This year China is going to host the Asian Cup. Everyone not only hopes to get a good result in the country, but the country also hopes to mobilize the emotions of the fans, so that the Asian Cup will be prosperous and the Asian Cup will be successful.So CCTV is also in order to cooperate with this, to give Chinese fans enough atmosphere in advance, and to mobilize the enthusiasm of fans in advance.

After Sun Jihai, Li Tie, Yang Chen, Xie Hui and other players who had studied abroad finished touting, it was Chen Ping's turn to coach.

So Huang Jianxiang praised Chen Ping.

&n

bsp; CCTV live broadcast.

This is a big deal in China, but it has no influence in the UK.Who cares what happens in the distant China.Even Chen Ping only thinks about the game now.

"Chen! Chen! Chen!"

"Champion! Champion! We want champions!"

West Ham fans love Chen Ping.

Because West Ham has not entered the cup final for many years, and Chen Ping led West Ham to the League Cup final in the first season of coaching.And now West Ham's results are very good, and there is no problem in entering the UK next season.So of course I like Chen Ping very much.

So when Chen Ping walked out, the West Ham fans immediately chanted Chen Ping's name in unison.No worse than the cheers received by those star players at West Ham.

The League Cup final, the gold content is not high.So there are very few neutral fans, most of them are fans of West Ham and Middlesbrough.Almost half of the stands are occupied by each.

After Chen Ping walked out, Middlesbrough's head coach McLaren was already there waiting for Chen Ping.

Shake hands, say hello.

It's just a simple routine before the game.

Speaking of which, the two still have some connections.Both coaching careers started at Oxford United.McLaren was born as a player. He used to be a player for Oxford United. After retiring, he served as an assistant coach for Oxford United.

Only later did he leave Oxford United.

Until 1998, McLaren accepted Ferguson's invitation and came to Manchester United as Ferguson's assistant coach.After a period of glorious days at Manchester United, including the Triple Crown in 99 and the British three consecutive championships.Ferguson is very sure of McLaren's strength.

At this time, McLaren's talent made the English football world see it.So when he was an assistant coach for Manchester United, Eriksson, the head coach of the England national team, also asked McLaren to be his assistant coach.It's also impressive.

Ferguson very much hoped to keep McClaren at the time, because McClaren was a very good assistant coach.But McLaren is so famous, of course he also hopes to become the head coach.So he declined Ferguson's request to stay, left Manchester United, and came to Middlesbrough.Middlesbrough has been established for 128 years and has not had a national champion until now.So McLaren led Middlesbrough to the League Cup final, which also made him a hero in the eyes of Middlesbrough fans.

In this game, except for a small part of the media, most of the media supported Middlesbrough and McLaren.They all want Middlesbrough to win the title and McLaren to win the title.The reason is simple, Chen Ping is an outsider, and McLaren is a local coach in England.

English football is exclusive and proud.

But embarrassing in pride.Because there are very few outstanding coaches in England. In 1996, Brian Little led Aston Villa to win the League Cup, which was the most recent national championship won by a local coach in England.In the past eight years, England's top league champions, FA Cup champions, and League Cup champions, including those in Europe, have never been touched by England's local coaches.

Even if the time is stretched back 20 years, there are not many championships won by local coaches in England.

Embarrassing data.

There have been so many champions in the past eight years, but none of the local coaches in England has won.Not just embarrassing, but embarrassing.English football is so xenophobic, but all the championships were taken away by foreign coaches.

Finally, finally another local coach in England led the team to the League Cup final.Before the game, most of the media cheered for Middlesbrough, hoping that McLaren would give the English coach a sigh of relief.

"Players from both sides have entered the field, waiting for the last moment. Before the game, let me introduce the lineups of both sides. Let's start with Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough's goalkeeper is Schwarzer, and the defense runs from right to left. On the left are Mills, Esiogu, Southgate, Kudrew, from right to left in the midfield are Mendieta, Boateng, Doriva, Juninho, Zenden, and the striker is the Cameroon international Job."

"Let's look at West Ham's line-up again. David James in goal, Baines, Daley Preca, Glenn Johnson in defense left to right and Ribéry in midfield left to right , Lomas, Carrick, Leo Cork, Lambert up front and Andre Arshavin who just joined West Ham in the winter."

"Dududu-"

"The referee's whistle sounded, and the League Cup final of the o3o4 season officially began. The referee for this game is the international referee Mike Riley. I hope to see a wonderful game."
