Chapter 1,234: Expectations of the Three Parties
Hearing the sudden voice, Jin Taige immediately stood up and looked back.
I saw two people walking in the door: "Tiger, Gareth, it's me."
The two people who arrived were none other than Palmer, the chairman of the Football Association, and standing next to him was his assistant Nat.
Kim Tiger is an old acquaintance with them, and Southgate is very familiar with them, and they have said hello to each other.
Palmer first came to Southgate's bedside and inquired about his condition. In fact, Palmer had already learned of Southgate's condition.
When Southgate fainted on the training ground, England team staff called Palmer to inform him; and when the team doctors left the hospital, they carefully reported Southgate's condition to Palmer. Mo made a report. The FA is headquartered in London, so Palmer arrived at the hospital quickly.
In fact, while on the road, Palmer had already determined many things. He made two consecutive phone calls and arranged some things.
Palmer made the first call directly to Manchester United owner Glazer. The two talked for two minutes and reached a consensus on one thing.
The second call was made by Palmer to the head of the Football Association's advertising department and arranged an important matter for him to deal with immediately. The sooner the better. The head of the advertising department assured on the phone that the matter would be pushed forward as quickly as possible.
After making these two calls, his assistant Nat also drove him to the hospital.
Southgate said to Palmer with some guilt: "Mr. President, I'm so sorry, I can't lead the team to Russia for the World Cup..."
Southgate waved his hand: "Gareth, your illness was also caused by fatigue in the national team. The Football Association will cover all the hospitalization expenses this time. Don't worry! And I specially arranged two nurses, Stay with you every day and help Alison take care of you.”
Southgate said a few words of thanks, and then he got to the point: "Mr. Chairman, I just talked to Tiger and wanted to ask him to take over my position temporarily. He said that he has a contract at Manchester United and cannot leave. . I think we can definitely give Tiger a temporary contract, let him become the head coach as a technical consultant, and lead the England team to the World Cup in Russia!"
"I wonder if Mr. Chairman can agree to my suggestion?"
Palmer glanced back at Nat, and they both smiled.
Nat said: "Gareth, Mr. Chairman told me in the car just now that he wanted to invite Coach Tiger to temporarily take over your position. I didn't expect that you guys actually had the same idea."
Palmer nodded and looked at Jin Tiger: "Tiger, for you to take over the England team, this is not only Gareth's wish, it is also the wish of the Football Association. Now that Gareth is ill, he can replace him There are many people, but no one is more suitable than you!"
"These players are all from England, and you know these players; and you have the aura of three consecutive Champions League titles and Manchester United's seven titles, which is a great inspiration to the players; and your strong strength will be a great inspiration to the players in the World Cup. It is also a great deterrent to opponents. So you are definitely the most suitable to take over this position!"
Jin Taige was stunned for a long time without saying anything. His mind was blank now and he didn't know what to say.
promise?
I have no experience coaching a national team. What if I fail to lead the team?
Don't agree?
He insulted Palmer and Southgate on the spot.
This doesn’t seem appropriate either…
Jintiger thought for a while, and then raised another concern: "Mr. Chairman, it's okay for me to be a technical consultant for the England team, but if you let me become the head coach, it will definitely take away more of my energy. After all, I Now I have a contract with Manchester United, and my boss Glazer doesn’t know if he can agree to it..."
Before Jin Taige finished speaking, his cell phone suddenly rang. He made an apologetic gesture to the Palmers, and then looked at the cell phone.
It's actually boss Glazer's phone number?
It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived!
Jin Taige answered the phone: "Hello, boss."
Glazer on the other end of the phone maintained his principle of speaking and doing things neatly: "Tiger, I won't say any polite words to you. Let me ask you, is Palmer looking for you?"
Jin Taige was stunned for a moment and wondered, how did you know?
"Boss, Mr. Chairman is indeed looking for me. He wants me to..."
Glazer directly interrupted Kim Tiger: "He wants to invite you to temporarily lead the England team to the World Cup, right? I know, he just called me to ask for my opinion. Don't worry, I will fully support it." You! Helping the Football Association do things is also good for Manchester United. You know what I mean. Anyway, we have already agreed that you will come back to Manchester after leading the team to play in the World Cup. It will not affect the preparations for next season. You can go there with confidence. .You work first. If there is nothing else, I will hang up. Goodbye."
Jin Taige was stunned as he held the phone.
Glazer's call made him feel a little stupid: It turns out that you have communicated in advance...
Seeing Jin Tiger's expression, Palmer smiled proudly: "Tiger, I knew you would be worried about the club's attitude, so before I came to talk to you, I had already had a phone call with Glazer. He said I agree with the matter very much, so I came to talk to you. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you deal with all the troubles, and then I came to invite you."
At this time, assistant Nat also smiled and said to Jin Tiger: "Tiger, you may not know that Mr. Chairman has always valued you very much. Whether it was when you were suspended a few years ago or when you were in trouble at Manchester United. At all times, Mr. Chairman is doing his best to help you get around and give you more convenience. Mr. Chairman has told me more than once that you are a leader among local coaches in England and a star of hope. The Football Association will definitely train you carefully. , to help you grow. And for your Champions League journey, in the setting of the Premier League and domestic cup matches in recent years, Mr. Chairman has also asked us to fully consider Manchester United’s European war journey and make it more convenient. So in your Champions League On the road to three consecutive championships, Mr. Chairman has been helping you behind the scenes."
Palmer waved his hand at Nat: "Nat, don't say these things, this is what I should do. I am an Englishman and it is my duty to contribute to English football. Tiger, I hope you can accept my invitation to replace Gareth as the interim coach of the England team and play in the World Cup in Russia. This is my expectation for you, and it is also Gareth's expectation for you. I believe this is also Glazer's expectation for you. ! I hope you can live up to our great trust and become the new leader of the England team and lead the England team!"
