Chapter X: Hearings
In Tottenham Hotspur's manager's office, Villas-Boas looked at the report in his hand and was in a particularly happy mood.
This is a training match report compiled by the coaching team, showing the changes of the team during this period in the form of data.
It's a complex statistic, with a lot of complicated items, but the most striking of them are undoubtedly the 'tempo' and 'possession' options.
In the presence of Yile, Tottenham's tempo increases abruptly and is extremely aggressive.
Yile's strong control in midfield allowed Tottenham to play a completely different pace of the game.
They can fly on both wings, they can defend and counterattack, and they can play small triangle tactics.
Yile's role in the midfield is not just a cannon, Boas, as a world-famous young coach, he will not use Yile as a turret like the manager of Millwall, this is a violent thing.
It's just that before they can do that, they need to solve one more thing.
Boas called the team's manager, Fox, and within five minutes, Fox walked in with a paperwork.
"It's a fax from the Super League, take a look."
Although the Premier League is named below the FA, the specific operation is not under the FA's management, but a separate 'super league' to operate.
Fox handed over a document, then made a cup of coffee as if no one was around, took a sip, and complained: "This matter is really troublesome, the club is in the Super League, but it is not hard work, do you really think it is worth it?" ”
Boas put down the file after a brief glance, nodded slightly, and said, "It's worth it!" ”
"Special Genius Clause! We really haven't used it. Fawkes blew on his coffee, and the bar chirped.
The 'Special Genius Clause' is an FA labour certification that is required to play in the Premier League.
There are several conditions that a player must meet when applying for a labor certification.
First, potential.
Second, age, generally labor certification will be issued to players between the ages of 25 and 30.
Third, the number of selections for the national team.
Fourth, play 75% of the games for the national team in two years.
Fifth, there are 204 full FIFA members in the world, and the countries in which the players are located are in the top 70.
Among these conditions, Yile does not meet all but the first one.
Therefore, if he wants to play in the Premier League, he has to find another way, and Boas has already negotiated this with the club, which is the 'special talent clause'.
This clause has never been used by Tottenham.
After all, most of the players who enter the top league are international players, who have already met the requirements of labor certification, and do not need to use special talent clauses.
But Yile is an alternative, so after some discussion with the club, Boas decided to give Yile a place once a year.
Boas was the one who played a dominant role in this, and he was the one who worked hard to bring about it.
Boas asked, "When will the hearing start?" ”
"Three days later." There was no nervousness on Fox's face, this hearing was actually a formality, under the operation of Tottenham Hotspur Club and the Premier League, Yile's 'labor certification' has come down, and now it is just a formality.
......
Three days later.
Accompanied by the team's manager Fox, Yile travels to the Super League for a 'hearing'.
In the entourage, there were not only Fox and Yile, but also a middle-aged man about 50 years old.
This is Tottenham Hotspur legend Sheringham.
Sheringham's career was at Manchester United during the best years, so many people think of him as Manchester United's treble.
But Sheringham is indeed a famous man who came out of Tottenham, having returned to Tottenham in the final years of his career, and he has a long history with Yile, both of whom played for Millwall.
Sheringham had only one purpose on his trip, and that was to be a witness to Yile.
With his fame, he can take on this job.
Inside the car, Yi Le looked curiously at the legendary shooter, although he was nearly half a hundred years old, he still maintained a good physique, which should be related to his coaching career.
The name Sheringham is no stranger to every fan, and it is naturally the same for Yile.
Sheringham was chatting with Fox when he caught a glimpse of Yi Le staring at him without blinking, and couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.
Fox also saw Yi Le's appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Yi, it's rude for you to stare at others like this." ”
Yi Le woke up and couldn't help but hurriedly say, "I'm sorry, I'm just too excited." ”
Sheringham smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Are you my fan?" ”
Yi Le was stunned for a moment, and then tangled for a long time, and said; "Sir, I don't want to lie to you, I'm a fan of David!"
This sentence made Sheringham pause for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, and said, "Hahaha, sure enough, no one can win Mr. Heartthrob." ”
After laughing, Sheringham looked at Yi Le and said, "Yi, I heard that you led Millwall to win the championship last season and completed the promotion, you did a good job!" ”
Sheringham played for Millwall, who were still in League One at the time.
The young and frivolous Sheringham also thought about leading Millwall to the Championship and promotion all the way to the Premier League, but he did not succeed.
So when he heard the news of Millwall's victory, he was also overjoyed.
Sheringham looked at Yile with a little more intimacy in his eyes, both of whom had played for Millwall and Tottenham, and the relationship had become much closer.
Along the way, after a brief chat, we soon came to the headquarters of the Super League.
The three got out of the car and were led into the hearing hall by the staff.
The Super League organized a six-person reviewer to review the data and then confirm the CA (Current Ability) value and PA (Future Potential) value of Yile.
As for the issue of prestige, there is no need to confirm it, and if you look through the newspapers last season, almost all of them are Millwall winning the championship.
As the core of the winning line-up, Yile's prestige is no longer a problem.
In the final stage, Sheringham gave a brief explanation and certification, and after the unanimous approval of the six judges, a freshly baked special 'labor certification' was issued to ELE.
This 'labor certificate' is signed once a year, and next year's Tottenham Hotspur also needs to exchange the only place for Yile's 'labor certificate', of course, next year will definitely not be as complicated as it is now, after going through the process, you only need to come to the Super League next year to renew.
It's just that Yile must impress Tottenham with his performance this season, otherwise it is a question whether Tottenham will keep a place for himself next season.
Walking out of the Super League, Yi Le excitedly looked at the labor certificate in his hand, with this page of blank paper, he was able to fight in the Premier League.
"Yes, on behalf of Tottenham Hotspur, I welcome you to our family."
Fawkes smiled as Yi Le stretched out his hand.
Yile put the labor certificate back in his bag, and also stretched out his hand and shook it.
"I'll prove my worth! I promise! ”
Fawkes paused for a moment, looking at the young face full of seriousness, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more gratified.
