Chapter 1,313, The 1st Person!
When the England players landed on the plane at London International Airport, countless fans were looking forward to it.
Captain Kane walked off the plane holding the Hercules Cup, causing countless cheers and applause.
In the next few days, these cheers and applause continued, always filling the ears of the England players.
Parade celebrations, celebrations in Wembley Stadium, celebrations in the banquet hall...
Numerous outdoor and indoor, public and private, large and small, all kinds of celebrations continued. For three consecutive days, Jin Taige felt as if he was more tired than leading the team to participate in the World Cup.
On the night of the third day, Kim Tiger asked FA Chairman Palmer that he wanted to go back to Manchester to rest. He was really too tired.
Palmer was happy: "Tiger, this kind of celebration is extremely rare. Some people can't enjoy it once in their lives. You are still in a hurry to leave. It's true."
Kim Tiger explained: "I want to go back and have a good rest, and then return to Manchester United to prepare for the new season."
After hearing this, Palmer fell silent. After a long time, he asked again: "Tiger, the suggestion I made before, that you stay and continue to coach the England team, will you no longer consider it?"
Jin Taige shook his head: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your kindness. I am truly sorry."
"Well, I won't force you. There will be one last important celebration tomorrow morning, and it is specially prepared for you by the British royal family. Enjoy it." Palmer said with a mysterious look.
The next morning, when Kim Tiger arrived at the ceremony hall of the British royal family, he realized what kind of ceremony he was about to usher in.
On July 20, 2018, Kim Tiger was officially awarded a knighthood by the British royal family. Sir can be used before his name, and his full English name is:! The British royal family uses this to commend Kim Tiger for his contribution to British football!
What is even more shocking is that the knighthood that Kim Tiger was awarded was the First Class GBE Cross of Merit!
The British title system has a history of hundreds of years.
In 1917, the then British King George V established the Order of the British Empire to honor soldiers who made outstanding contributions in World War I. Later, it gradually expanded to various socio-economic and political fields. According to the classification, there are five levels, namely: Cross of Merit GBE, Knight Medal of Second Class KBE, Knight Medal of Third Class CBE, Knight Medal of Fourth Class OBE, and Knight Medal of Fifth Class MBE.
Take Sir Alex Ferguson as an example. He was awarded three times in his life. In 1984, he was awarded the Knight Medal of the Fourth Class. In 1984, he was awarded the Knight Medal of the Third Class. In 1984, he was awarded the Knight Medal of the Second Class KBE.
KBE is equivalent to a lower-ranking knight. It is the lowest level of knighthood. It is also the only knighthood that does not count as a noble. It can be admitted to the House of Commons but not the House of Lords.
In the past few years, the British sports community was running for Sir Alex Ferguson, hoping to help him break through history and win the first Cross of Merit GBE in the sports community. If Sir Alex Ferguson can be awarded the title, he will become the first person in British society. No person in the sports, culture and entertainment field has been awarded the title in the past, not even a non-military and political figure.
But with the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, the matter gradually stopped being mentioned.
But unexpectedly, it only took Kim Taige five years to achieve more than his teacher and was awarded the first-class GBE Cross!
Sir Tiger!
five years,
Jin Taige went from an ordinary youth team coach to the famous British Jazz!
What a glorious honor this is!
When Kim Tiger appeared in front of all reporters wearing a knighthood, countless flashlights flashed crazily. This scene was seen by countless fans around the world and became a classic of this summer.
After the investiture ceremony, Kim Tiger said goodbye to Palmer again and prepared to return to Manchester. Palmer made one last attempt to retain him, but Kim Tiger's attitude was still very firm, so Palmer had to give up.
Before leaving, Palmer suddenly asked: "Tiger, do you have any new goals for the new season?"
Jin Taige shrugged and said very calmly: "Let's try to continue to win championships - consecutive Premier League championships, consecutive Champions League championships, that's all."
Palmer thought for a moment and expressed his concerns.
"Tiger, in the Premier League, you can rest assured that the Football Association will fully support you next season - of course, this does not mean to give you some trouble, but to provide you with a fair environment. But in There are already different voices within UEFA. You may encounter a lot of troubles in the new season, so be prepared in advance."
Jin Taige looked at no one around him and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Chairman, what trouble do you mean? Can you please tell me more about it?"
Palmer whispered: "It's okay to tell you. Manchester United has been too strong in recent years. You have monopolized the Premier League and Champions League for three years! In the past few years, whether it was FIFA President Infantino, Or UEFA President Ceferin, they all support you very much and regard you as an advertising sign for world football to enhance the influence of international football. "
"But after you won three consecutive Champions League titles last year, there was a lot of opposition, especially within UEFA, who were dissatisfied with Manchester United's strength."
Jin Taige frowned: "Whether we are strong or not, we have worked hard based on our strength. What are they dissatisfied with?"
Palmer explained: "UEFA does not want to always monopolize things like the Champions League championship by one team. This will not only affect UEFA's advertising revenue, but also affect the profit sharing of each club. This point You should be able to understand, so I won’t go into details.”
"So in the new season, you may encounter greater troubles in the Champions League. These troubles do not come from the field, but from within UEFA. As for how serious it is, I don't know. It’s easy to estimate. Now I’m just reminding you to make some preparations in advance.”
"Also, you have been too strong in the past few years. The honor of leading England to win the World Cup has brought you to the pinnacle of your career. Everything goes to the extreme, so I think you should consider whether you should be more restrained. , allowing yourself to make a smooth transition.”
"That's all I want to remind you. That's the sentence. The Football Association will definitely support you, and the Premier League will definitely give you a fair environment. If you encounter trouble in the European war, I will stand up and speak for you. , you can rest assured about this.”
"Although I have said it many times, I still want to say, thank you for bringing back the Hercules Cup. You are the pride of England!"
"Tiger, let's say goodbye and wish you all the best in the new season!"
