Chapter 5: Lamb's Advice
Clarke is a very cautious person, and he and Di Matteo both have a Chelsea background, having worked as an assistant to Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, and he has a calm personality, and he thought for a long time before finally opening his mouth when he was questioned by the young chairman.

"I'm sorry, Mr. President, I need to figure out something, you said you're going to take over the team, what do you need me to do or what I can do."
"I'm sorry Clark, this request may be a bit difficult for you to accept, you know, I don't have a UEFA professional coaching certificate for the time being, I can't be a direct manager, so I decided to push you to the front, I join the coaching staff, but I have to actually control the team to exercise the managerial authority, I know it's unfair to you, even offensive, I am willing to compensate you in terms of salary, I hope you can help me." Li Haolong knew that such conditions were disrespectful and even cruel and barbaric for a coach, but in order to realize his desire to control, he had to brutally tear apart the bloody reality.
French superstar Zinedine Zidane also encountered such a thing when he coached Real Madrid's B team Castilla to play La B B, he did not obtain a UEFA professional coaching certificate at that time, and the real candidate for the coach of the B team, Santiago Sanchez, was actually more of a cover role, and the Spanish competition committee members believe that Zidane actually exercised the role of head coach, and there are videos that can prove that Zidane has been playing the role of head coach in the team's training and games, while Sanchez is more like an assistant coach, At that time, Zidane was accused by the league competition committee and faced a three-month ban, but in the end, with the efforts of the club, Zidane successfully appealed.
The Premier League only joined the UEFA Professional Coaching Certificate in 2003, which was not required for Premier League coaches, and former England international Gareth Southgate, who took over Middlesbrough coaching last year, himself received preferential treatment from UEFA to allow him to complete the courses required to earn a professional coaching certificate while coaching Middlesbrough. These two successful cases have also strengthened Li Haolong's confidence in coaching, and even if the FA determines that he is unable to exercise the power of head coach in the assistant coach position, he is expected to use Gareth Southgate's case to seek help from UEFA, and then appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and strive for a successful appeal to obtain real rights.
The long speechless stalemate can see Clark's inner entanglement and violent struggle at this time.
"I'm sorry, Mr. President, although I know that I can get your generous salary, I still want to try, I prefer to coach a team myself, there is a team that is approaching me at the moment, sorry, I can't agree to your request."
"No, no, Clarke, you don't need to apologize, it's not your fault, you can have the opportunity to coach the team independently, I will be happy for you and open the door, I can understand the ultimate pursuit of a coach, if it is not negotiated, don't be discouraged, you can continue to stay in the Villa team and wait for the next opportunity, I think I and the team will need you too."
"Thank you very much, Mr. President, to be honest, if I didn't have this opportunity, I would probably promise you, I wish the team good luck, I have to go first."
"Well, good luck with that, too."
After Clark left, Li Haolong felt the tricky place, how could a coach with a UEFA professional-level coaching certificate deign to be a puppet coach of a team, it seemed that this time there was a big trouble, Lamb on the side was very good at observing words and feelings, and he saw the troubles of his boss.
"Mr. President, these people who have been deputies for a long time and have professional coaching qualifications are really difficult to convince, but we might as well look for those young coaches who have just obtained their certificates and have not even been assistant coaches, just one year, I think someone will be willing."
"It's not easy to find such a person, you can't advertise and hire a professional-level coaching qualification certificate to be a puppet, if you don't say this, others will say that we are suspected of cheating."
"It's hard to find such people, but don't our club have ready-made ones?"
"Is there one? Is there anyone else on the coaching staff? Gary Walsh? Clemens? Ray Wilkins? These are all old rivers and lakes. ā
"Mr. President, you can broaden your horizon and not limit yourself to the first team, we also have such candidates in the youth team echelon."
"Who?"
"Petrov."
"That Petrov from the Leukemia Foundation?"
"Exactly, as far as I know, he just obtained his professional coaching certificate last year and is now working as an assistant coach in our youth team, as long as Mr. President can promise to entrust him with important responsibilities in the future, I don't think he will refuse because of his lack of experience, not to mention that he is a meritorious player of our Villa club, and we can also convince him with the current difficulties of the club."
"Lamb, if this is left to you, are you sure you can do it?"
"In the past few months, I have crossed paths with him because of the promotion of the foundation, and I am quite familiar with him, so I dare not say whether I am sure of it, but I am willing to give it a try."
"Okay, Lamb, if you do get this done, even if your new official is the first fire, this thing must be done immediately, and I don't want to face the players tomorrow without a specific statement."
"No problem, I'll do it now!"
After Lamb hurriedly left, Li Haolong fell into excitement, although he had already planned, he had imagined the arrival of this time countless times, and designed all kinds of scenes, but when it suddenly came, he was still a little caught off guard, but fortunately, he was firm in his mind and withstood the initial panic, in fact, the candidate had already entered the line of sight in the usual observation, everything suddenly seemed inevitable, Li Haolong naturally carried out the remedial work in an orderly manner, and affirmed his decision more and more.
"You said you want to call the other main leaders to a meeting now and announce the decision."
"Poppyron, you're so excited right now, you need to cool down a little bit, calm down, I think at least wait until Lamb gets Petrov done."
"I'm really a little impatient, you don't know, in the last 30 minutes of today's game, I can't wait to push Di Matteo away and go up to change the command, I am anxious when I see him on the field, in fact, it is difficult to make changes? I can't imagine what he thinks! Xiaoxue, do you say that Italians are so stubborn? ā
"Speaking of which, I also have to give in to Di Matteo, in fact, from the beginning to the end, when you brought in players, did you consult him about what kind of players he needs, you set the style of the team, buy players according to your own preferences, I think if I were him, I would have complained a long time ago. He's a good guy, it's remarkable that he can endure until this time, and as for his rejection of young players, I think it's mostly his subconscious antagonism, and it can't be simply attributed to the stubbornness of the Italians, which has nothing to do with people anywhere. When I say that, can you understand, can you understand? ā
"You analyze it so carefully and I understand it completely, in fact, I also feel a little guilty, I coveted someone's position from the beginning, and I have been thinking about how to break up to bring him the least harm for half a year, but I didn't expect it to be in advance, and it was this way."
"Forget it, you don't have to mind too much, you have your big ambitions, and I support you 100%, it's just a matter of time, the long pain is better than the short pain, but we can't treat others badly in terms of economy."
"Yes, if only it could be solved with money."
"Do you want to tell my uncle about this? After all, such a big personnel adjustment. ā
"Say, but he already knows about my plan, so he shouldn't have any opinions."
"That's good......"
