() british, which translates to British**. It is a phrase that refers specifically to the nepotism and alumni associations that prevailed within the empire.

For example, 90% of today's top political and legal leaders in the UK are from Oxford and Cambridge.

Entering the 2005 Premier League, nepotism became more and more popular.

It's not just Southampton Redknapp Sr. who has taken his son Jamie under his wing, it's also in a broader sense.

The nepotism of the Premier League is not just starting to prevail today, and looking back at the Arsenal frenzy, it is not difficult to find that the introduction of Thierry Henry, Vieira and Pire by the professor is the key to the Gunners' rampage. So much so that the sour people used to say, "There's a smell of garlic in the dressing room at Highbury (symbolizing the French)!" ”

Because of this, Arsenal's success has also been called the "French Revolution" of the Premier League.

At Stamford Bridge, Portugal boss Jose Mourinho brought his protégés Thiago, Carvalho and Pacos Ferreira with him as soon as he stepped off the plane.

At White Hart Lane, Dutchman Joel, who was unbeaten in his first eight games against Chelsea last weekend and took Tottenham to the top seven, also publicly stated that he was ready to return home in search of reinforcements, bringing Van Bommel, Van der Vaart and Sneijder to the Premier League, so that Tottenham could compete with the Premier League heavyweights.

From this point of view, it is only natural that Bei Bald "instigated" the team to buy Morientes - after the Premier League has the French gang, the Portuguese gang, and the Dutch gang, will the Spanish gang be far away?

Morientes' medical was a success, which also means that the Spanish striker will soon arrive at Anfield, the fifth compatriot and sixth La Liga player since the Spanish coach took office.

A week earlier, the 34-year-old Argentine centre-back had bid farewell to his former club Valencia and joined Benitez's Liverpool on a free transfer.

This is the first signing made by Liverpool since the winter transfer market opened.

Due to his advanced age, Pellegrino has only signed a short-term contract with his new club for six months, and at the end of the season, the club will decide whether to renew his contract for another year depending on his performance.

Liverpool, Europe's cultural capital for more than 2,000 years, is full of bullfighting this winter.

Even the funny Ladbrokes Liverpool branch set up tapas (Spanish appetizers) in its own store to attract bettors after Morientes joined.

But the nepotism that has been made by the arrivals of Rafael Benitez and Jose Mourinho is not unrelated to the fact that both managers are from the Iberian Peninsula: Portugal and Spain are both Catholic-dominated Latin-speaking countries, and the Apennines are as family-oriented as they are.

What Rafael Benitez and Jose Mourinho need most is to have enough control over the dressing room.

The manager is not only responsible for training, but also for all aspects of the club, including the life of the players.

If you don't know anything about the dynamics of the 24 people in the dressing room, this coach is definitely not doing well.

And as a head coach from a foreign country, how easy is it to suddenly promote one or two cronies in the dressing room and establish his own prestige?

Lord Fruel, who is as expensive as Manchester United, also controlled the locker room after the young army he patiently cultivated took control of the main position on the front line, so as to sit in the dragon chair for 18 years.

Like the Magic Bird, their task is to help the team achieve results in a short period of time, and it is impossible to spend precious time patiently waiting for the youth army they have cultivated to become cronies. What better way to do that than to add a few of your trusted compatriots to the dressing room?

Managers need the trust of their players, and when they have the support of at least a few key figures for a tactical proposal, it is easier to follow through, which is why presidential campaigns often cleverly place the role of "applause" in the crowd. Mourinho and Benitez's compatriots play the role of "applause" in the dressing room, which is the clever use of dressing room psychology.

Of course, what is more important is the tactical system and the style of play: Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands all play very differently from England. And Mourinho, Benitez and Joel, who come from these football cultural circles, will of course form their own coaching ideas that are different from those of the Premier League.

Tottenham boss Joel said of why he wanted to bring in a Dutch countryman: "The 451 is becoming more and more popular in the Premier League, Van der Vaart can be the second goalscorer in this formation, Sneijder will play well and Van Bommel is a versatile player. ”

In short, he needs a trusted fellow to be in a key position.

Jose Mourinho's success in the Premier League this season has also been largely linked to the fact that he has brought some of Porto's stubborn defensive stalwarts to west London.

Of course, the hidden dangers of crony wind are also obvious.

The Liverpool Echo expressed its opinion from another aspect: over-bringing in players from a single country, once the manager leaves for any reason, it will leave the team with a bunch of "unwanted legacy", which will cause a financial burden on the club.

England is the place where the most traditional is valued, and the excessive introduction of foreign players will indirectly lead to the lack of training of the local youth army. And there are also conflicts between local players and foreign players, which cannot be ignored either.

But in any case, the addition of Morientes is a hundred benefits in the eyes of KOPs!

First of all, due to the injuries of Cisse, Colwill, Barosh and others, Poengler and Mailer alone cannot guarantee the normal attack of Liverpool's forward line. Liverpool desperately need a good "Mr. Key" like Morientes to save the day.

Secondly, Morientes has already represented Real Madrid in the Champions League in the first half of the season, so Morientes will not be able to appear in the Champions League for the Reds in the second half of the season. This has indirectly led Morientes to focus on the Premier League, which is crucial for Liverpool, who are currently fifth.

It's not realistic to win the title at the end of the season in the team's current form, but if you want to earn four, it must be easy.

The addition of Morientes has given KOPs hope for the future, which is the most important thing.

This transfer is also an opportunity for Morientes himself.

Last season's impressive performances at Monaco brought Morientes back to his "hometown" of Real Madrid this season.

The fans welcomed his return and praised him one by one. But Morientes is a good person, honest and low-key, and he doesn't like to expose himself too much in front of the media, and he doesn't like to tell his coach what he thinks.

As a result, there may not be a place for good people in the world.

The Galaxy battleship is full of big names, Liverpool's star Owen has joined Real Madrid, and Morientes has been reduced to a bench player again.

This time the La Liga "Air Tyrant" can join the Red Army, which is undoubtedly an opportunity to prove himself.

The tree dies, and the man lives. Stripped off his white shirt and put on a red shirt, the 29-year-old still has enough energy to "move" a new world for himself and Liverpool.

Even the Spanish newspaper Asa quipped: "Maybe Florentino doesn't need a player who can't bring him commercial benefits, but Spain needs a Moro who can be on the pitch regularly!" ”
