Steve McClaren's name may be familiar to many fans, but it is impossible to remember who this person is, but if you talk about a manager who once coached England and did not qualify for the European Championship and once abandoned David Beckham, then you may recall many things about this manager.

That's right, Steve McLaren, the former head coach of the England national team, the head coach that Zeng Qianfu refers to as being swept away.

In fact, to be fair, McLaren is not a useless coach, he is good at the team's daily training, tactical planning and morale, but these strengths are not easy to use in the national team. Of course, there is no doubt that he does not have the ability to coach the England national team.

But there was a light in his coaching career, in the 08-09 season, when McClaren, who was swept away by the England national team, came to the Netherlands to coach Twente, who finished third last season, and in this season, Twente achieved a good result of second place in the Eredivisie, which is impressive. In the following 09-10 season, this team broke out completely, and finally won the Eredivisie championship with a point advantage of 1 point, beating Ajax to win the Eredivisie championship that year, which is also the first time that Twente, a team that has suddenly risen in the past few years, won the Eredivisie championship trophy!

There's no doubt that McClaren did his job well, and seven of the starting eleven in a championship-winning season were brought in by himself, and it's fair to say that this team has actually branded McLaren.

But it has to be said that there are countless managers who have been brilliant but have become more and more dim in the future, McLaren may not have been as brilliant as those coaches, but the peak of his coaching career undoubtedly stayed in the Netherlands.

At the end of the season, McLaren, who could no longer let Twente go any further, chose to leave, and among many suitors, he finally chose Wolfsburg, a giant in the Bundesliga.

At that time, Wolfsburg was in a low ebb after winning the championship, but the strength of the team was still very strong, with Dzeko and Grafitte on the front line, especially Dzeko was still the Bundesliga Golden Boot that season. Coupled with McClaren's big signings, everyone is looking forward to this team.

However, it backfired, and in the 10-11 season, Wolfsburg's results were very poor and they had fallen to the relegation zone, and McLaren was fired and dismissed.

Then, after a not-so-smooth six-month spell for Nottingham Forest, the England boss who had turned over from Twente eventually returned to the club in January 2012 as the team's manager.

It's an interesting phenomenon, and it's been the case with a lot of managers who make a name for themselves in a team, leave and have a bad career, and then come back to that team. But in any case, the current Twente team is in very good shape, which undoubtedly has a lot to do with McClaren's tuning.

So it's really hard to say who will die in this game, and the clash between the two teams with the hottest form in the Eredivisie is destined to be a contest like Mars hitting the earth!

……

"This McLaren, I am actually still very impressed, he abandoned Beckham back then, but it was a big deal, and the final results were not good, and he had to invite Beckham back, but it was too late, and England still failed to qualify for the European Championship."

On the bus, Li Lin looked at the portrait of McLaren on the newspaper in his hand, and sighed at Eriksen with great interest, "It was the darkest period of English football. ”

"Dark times, too?" Erikson smiled and shook his head.

"You don't know how painful it is for journalists in England to be embarrassed that the best team in the world that they boast about every day didn't make it out of qualifying. So poor Mr. McLaren was scolded miserably, and of course, his performance was really not very good. ”

While talking, the bus pulled into the Amsterdam stadium.

"Lads, it's here, get off!"

Armand shouted for the players to get out of the car.

Outside the bus door, there were still enthusiastic fans and reporters waiting for the opportunity.

Li Lin didn't wear headphones this time, picked up his bag and got out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a group of Danish reporters surrounding Eriksen on his left. I have to say that a small country also has the advantages of a small country, just like Eriksen, there is a feeling of stars everywhere he goes, and these Danish journalists basically guard him every day, so Eriksen has never lacked exposure, because the whole country is his backing.

However, Li Lin did not envy him, he wished that the reporters would stay away from him, and he was happy to be quiet.

Glancing at Erikson, who was estimated to be impossible to leave for a short time, Li Lin walked towards the locker room, and at the moment when he was about to walk into the lobby, he heard someone calling for him, and then there was a faint commotion.

"What's wrong?"

Li Lin turned his head curiously, only to see a little girl squeezed into the aisle in the interception of the security personnel, and the security personnel suddenly became a little nervous, and several big men came over and prepared to take her back.

Li Lin quietly walked up, only to hear the girl keep apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was squeezed in by someone from behind!"

It seems that the security personnel also accepted her statement, and just as they were about to send her back, the girl saw Li Lin.

"Ahhh

The girl screamed, and in an instant, she used her agility to pass through the side of the security officer and ran in front of Li Lin.

"Lee, can you sign for me?"

I saw this female fan, who looked like she should be underage, but from this beautiful blonde hair and delicate little face, you can see that this will definitely be a beauty embryo in the future.

Stretching out his hand to stop the unkind-looking security guard beside him, Li Lin signed for the female fan, no one will be unhappy to have such a fan, and Li Lin is the same.

But, looking at her movements, how does it feel like she values this signature more than me?

Li Lin, who felt a little strange in his heart, couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, are you my fan?" ”

The girl who happily felt that the task was completed paused for a moment, and replied with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm not your fan." ”

Really.

"Then why are you so desperate for my autograph?"

Li Lin continued to ask with some reluctance.

"Actually, actually," the girl continued with a blush on her face and a little shyness, "I'm actually a fan of Ravel. ”

"Ravel is going to be on a TV show next week, and he said he only signs items with Li Lin's signature, so, so, I'm sorry!"

After saying that, the girl seemed to be frightened, and quickly ran away, leaving only Li Lin, who was messy in the wind.

"Ravel, your uncle! You wait for me! ”
