ps3: I was so tired from work yesterday that I didn't get up until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night...... So today's update didn't write enough 3,000 words, I'm very sorry, and I hope you will forgive me [bow]

"Charlie, you're not kidding me, are you?" George felt dizzy when he heard the old man's name, and said that his luck was too good, he had just received news from Marotta, the two future strongmen, Paratici and Allegri, and now heard Tuchel's name from Charlie's mouth, "Are you sure that the German is really Thomas Tuchel?"

"Hey, boy George, are you questioning my memory?" Hearing George's question, Charlie shouted into the microphone in dissatisfaction, "Don't look at me now that I'm sixty-two years old, when it comes to memory, I'm no worse than you young people!"

"Charlie, judging by the fact that you only remember Tuchel's name now, alcohol does take a toll on your memory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 "If you're not convinced, now name me two other young people besides Tuchel who you think have the same potential, and I'm sure you don't have any problems with your memory." ”

"It's a piece of cake. Boy, George, wait, I'll be able to remind you of a whole dozen names in no time!" As George expected, after hearing him say this, old Charlie, who was anxious to prove himself, jumped into this pit at once. However, it didn't take long for the slightly embarrassed voice of old Charlie to come out of George's phone: "Lucky for you! It seems that I really drank a little too much...... Alas, sure enough, I'm still too old to drink as freely as I used to, and at the same time not interfere with my work. ”

"So I said, Charlie, don't drink like that anymore when you become my assistant coach. Listening to the other party's emotion on the phone, George persuaded again, "I think, Charlie, you don't want to see that when your data analysis theory is finally widely accepted by the British football community, you, the founder, have been sick and even died early due to excessive drinking, and you can't witness this grand occasion with your own eyes, right?"

As Charles Rip's former partner in football data analysis, the 62-year-old Charlie Johnson also has his own vision, which is to introduce data analysis into football, and carry forward the theories he summarized in data analysis work like Charles Rip. At the same time, the elder Charlie is still vaguely looking forward to the day when he can reverse the misunderstanding brought by Charles Rip's data analysis theory to the British football world, and no longer blindly superstitious about long passes!

(Note: Charles Rip, a former lieutenant colonel in the Royal Air Force, was the pioneer in the use of data analysis in football.) From March 1950, when the first race was compiled, to the mid-nineties, Rip had sampled and analyzed more than 2,200 races, each taking more than 80 hours. The theories he derived from the analysis of football match data played a decisive role in the formation of the long-pass rushing style of English football. ）

You know, the elder Charlie has always been full of resentment and resentment about being kicked out of English football by the latter using his powerful influence just because he came to a different conclusion on the data analysis from Charles Ripcai, who had to travel around the continent to make a living.

It is precisely because he knows the old Charlie's ability and past that George is so attentive, and he does not hesitate to use all kinds of means, and even mentions the past when Charles Rip was expelled from the English football world because of a disagreement with the concept, hoping to make the other party quit the vice of alcoholism.

"Well, for the sake of my ideals, it seems that I really want to quit drinking completely this time. Hearing George mention his former ideals, old Charlie, who was already a little drunk, immediately sobered up a lot, and made a promise to George on the phone, "Boy...... No, don't worry, boss. Until I saw my theories spread all over the world, I would never have seen the drunken misconduct I have today. Also, can you do me a small favor?"

"I didn't expect you, an old stubborn, to ask for help, I didn't eat your closed door soup when I mentioned these words to you before...... Say, what do you want me to do for you? Do you want me to kick Charles Rip's old stubborn out of England, or are you going to run for prime minister?"

George knows very well that Charlie Johnson is the type of person who keeps his promises. Such a person will not easily promise anyone anything, but once he has made a promise, then he will definitely stick to this promise until it is fulfilled.

"Don't say stupid things, it's a personal vendetta between me and Charles, how can you ask the kid to help. Besides, if you kid were to do it, then I wouldn't have to stay abroad for so many years. The old Charlie, who had recovered seven or eight points from his drunken state, took the microphone and shook his head with a smile, as if to lament George's youth and impulsiveness, "I would like to ask you to leave me a few places on the Tottenham coaching staff, so that I can bring a few little guys that I am very optimistic about." I can't remember any of them other than Tuchel now...... But trust me, it's definitely good for you and Tottenham. ”

"Haha, Charlie, of course there's nothing wrong with this little thing. Of course, Charlie, you know, even if it's someone you recommend, you have to follow the rules I set when you get to Tottenham. So, if there is a guy among them who is as arrogant and disobedient as Bester or Gaza, then I can only apologize to you here in advance. ”

"Of course I understand that...... Don't worry, I've brought some good boys, no thorns, and nothing like this will happen. The only problem is that these little guys may be a little more ambitious, and once they feel like they're full-fledged, it's only a matter of time before they leave the team. ”

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, people are ambitious. I just hope that these people have enough ability to match their ambitions...... So let's talk about it here today, and let's discuss the details after Charlie arrives in London. After agreeing to the matter and saying goodbye to Charlie on the phone, George pressed the hang button and began to secretly look forward to seeing what kind of surprise Charlie would bring him.

Could it be that outside of Tuchel, Charlie had befriended other future coaches and was planning to take them to White Hart Lane? After all, if Charlie could so easily meet so many future managers after a few years in Europe and convince them to commit to Tottenham, then George would have to wonder who is the protagonist of the book.

So, three days later, at London Heathrow International Airport, George, who personally went to the airport to pick up the plane, saw Charlie Johnson, who had returned to the UK after a few years, and immediately stepped forward after seeing the other party and gave the old man a strong hug: "Hey, Charlie, long time no see." Speaking of which, you haven't been back here in years, have you?"

"It's been five years. Recalling five years ago, Charles Rip took the opportunity to launch a public opinion offensive to drive out of the British football world because of his public criticism of the tactical play of national team coach Hoddle, and finally left the United Kingdom to travel to the European continent, Charlie, who has passed his sixtieth year, couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for George's invitation, even if I wanted to continue my career here, I'm afraid I would have to wait a few more years." ”

"In that case, Charlie, you should also know how that old guy from Rip buried my decision in the past two days after announcing the hiring of you as an assistant coach. After saying that, George gently let go of Charlie and ended the hug with the other party, "So, I wish you well enough at Tottenham." ”

"This is natural. Glancing at George, who was walking in front, a confident smile appeared on Old Charlie's face, "Trust me, inviting me to be your assistant coach is definitely the wisest decision George has made in your head coaching career!"
