Chapter 1251. The More Lively the Better!
If Kim Tiger were to choose one of the best journalists in England, he would definitely choose Hall!
Hall's report in the Manchester Evening News was indeed of a very high standard. Hall's statement seems to be really full of loopholes and so weak that even Kim Tiger was amazed.
It was exactly the same process as Kim Tiger imagined. Seeing Hall's feeble report, "The Sun" excitedly published articles one after another, continuing to criticize Kim Tiger's various behaviors that they did not like. The previously fabricated news about the internal strife in the England team, Neither Kim Tiger nor anyone else in the England team stood up to refute the response.
Even when the "Sun" reporter blocked Henderson outside the training ground and wanted to ask the Liverpool captain some inside information, Henderson still did not give any explanation. His face was expressionless and he said nothing.
Is there really a conflict?
"The Sun" is even more excited now!
They guide countless fans in the direction, use one piece of groundless explosive news as a lead, and constantly bombard the English football world. The explosions have spread to European and even world football.
At first, the England team did not receive much attention from everyone. After all, this England team had almost no decent stars, and they were all a group of young people; but since Kim Tiger took office, the aura of seven-time champions has shrouded the England team, allowing them to win for a while. It has become one of the focuses of the world, and the odds of England's team are constantly changing. It seems that people's expectations for England's team are getting bigger and bigger.
However, such a round of attacks by "The Sun" caused the England team to slip again, and this time the speed of slippage was unusually fast. Coupled with the fact that no one in the England team responded, the outside world's expectations for the England team have once again weakened.
"Daily Telegraph": "The role of the head coach is limited. Kim Tiger cannot make this hopeless England team reborn!"
The Times: “This England team is still the weakest in history!”
Spain's "España Sport": "The World Cup will tell Kim Tiger that the methods of winning in club events will not work in the national team!"
Germany's "Kicker": "The upper limit of the England team should be to qualify in the group! If they want to go further, they can only expect to encounter a weak opponent in the quarter-finals."
Faced with constant pessimism from the outside world, the FA could not sit still. Chairman Palmer personally called Kim Tiger: "Tiger, there is too much trouble outside, do you need to stand up and say something? In other words, do you need the FA to help you do something? We have a good relationship with several major newspapers. If I come forward, they will definitely give me some face."
Jin Taige smiled slightly on the other end of the computer: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your concern. Everything is fine with the England team at the moment and nothing needs to be done."
"But the negative news is so annoying," Palmer complained.
"It doesn't matter, for me, the more lively the better!" Jin Taige smiled slightly, "Mr. Chairman, have you noticed that all the outside world's eyes are now on the internal strife of the England team, and no one cares about the England team's tactics? Is it legal?"
"Oh, so that's what happened. I know what you want to do. I really have you!" Palmer laughed. "That's great. Your appointment has given the England team a new look, but the changes in the team have not changed." If someone pays attention, this will become one of our greatest advantages!”
Jin Taige said confidently: "Yes, there is an old saying in China,
It's called taking advantage of the situation. Don't look at the so-called internal strife in the outside world this time, but it's a blessing in disguise. Maybe it will help the England team go further? "
"Okay! Tiger, I'm optimistic about you and I'm waiting for the news of your victorious return!"
"I'll lend you some good words!"
One week before the start of the World Cup, the England team completed its domestic training mission. They took a special plane to Russia, ambitious and heroic, heading towards the world's highest honor in 2018.
The 23-man roster for this expedition to Russia is:
Goalkeepers: Butland (Stoke City), Pickford (Everton), Pope (Burnley).
Defenders: Kyle Walker (Manchester City), Trippier (Tottenham), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Stones (Manchester City), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Maguire (Manchester United), Cahill (Chelsea), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Ashley Young (Manchester United).
Midfielder: Dier (Tottenham), Henderson (Liverpool), Loftus-Cheek (Crystal Palace), Alli (Manchester United), Lingard (Manchester United), Carrick (Manchester United).
Forwards: Kane (Tottenham), Rashford (Manchester United), Sterling (Manchester City), Vardy (Leicester City), Rooney (Everton).
These 23 England players are all from Premier League teams, which can be said to be the embodiment of the achievements of British youth training.
Tottenham has 4 people selected, Manchester City has 3 people selected, Liverpool and Everton have both selected, and in this England team, Manchester United players have reached 7 players!
This is also a major reason why Kim Tiger was criticized by "The Sun".
However, Jin Taige disagrees, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that among these 7 players, except for Carrick, who was temporarily selected by himself, the remaining 6 Manchester United players are all players from Southgate's era, and they are not I am nepotistic!
But for trolls, they can be selectively deaf and amnesiac.
Jin Taige looked at the list in his hand, thoughtfully.
He knows very well that although there are many players from Manchester United in the England team, the number of people who can play the main team is very limited. Except for Maguire, whose main position is relatively stable, no one else has the absolute strength to get the main team. Even the midfield combination of Lingard and Ali, who have been placed in the main camp during training, must make certain rotation adjustments based on the situation on the field and the status of the players.
The decline in strength of Manchester United players in the national team has a lot to do with Kim Tiger. Because in the Manchester United team, Jin Taige gives too few opportunities to local players. Manchester United's French players, German players, Belgian players... they all occupy the absolute main position. Even the main defender Maguire of the England team does not play well in Manchester United. It’s just about rotating players. This situation is also one of the reasons why Kim Tiger was criticized by many England players.
But Kim Tiger went his own way.
After all, I just traveled through time and became an Englishman, and I don’t have a deep relationship with this country. For me, leading Manchester United to achieve results is the most important thing. As for the task of cultivating talents for the England team, leave it to other Premier League teams!
