Chapter 107: Grinin's 'Theory of Blood'

Middlesbrough's current manager, Steve McLaren, is a very young manager, only 43 years old, but he is already on the radar in England.

McClaren had an unremarkable playing career, moving through the second and third divisions before retiring from the game after an injury. He has worked as an assistant coach at Oxford United, Derby County, and has worked with Jim Brown. Smith led Derby County to a successful victory, and it was then that Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United took a fancy to him, so he moved to Manchester.

In Manchester, McClaren almost became Alex Ferguson's right-hand man, and his talent was recognised throughout England, and in 2000 the FA even invited him to be the head coach of the England national team. However, it is rumored that due to Ferguson's jealousy, he did not succeed in taking office, and in the summer of 01, McClaren, who wanted to be his own boss, came to Middlesbrough, but for several years, the team has been mediocre and has been in the middle of the Premier League.

Speaking to reporters after training, he smiled and said: "Middlesbrough is a team that strives to improve, the team is ready for everything, for tomorrow's game, the whole team is very confident, although Wolverhampton have been very good recently, and even beat Arsenal in the last game, but this does not mean that its quality has reached the level of the big teams, you know, everything is possible on the football field." Although Middlesbrough has a mediocre record and is now only ranked 11th in the Premier League, one place lower than Wolverhampton, the team's performance is very stable, even Manchester United dare not say that they will win at the Riverside Stadium, let alone Wolverhampton.

McLaren's words reflect the team's confidence and fighting spirit everywhere, but this statement is somewhat official. However, the players of Middlesbrough did not care so much, in the face of interviews with reporters, they directly shouted the slogan of victory, and some of them were very arrogant, among them, there was Middlesbrough's 'bad boy' Grining.

Grining has long brown hair and a scar on his face, which makes him look a little vicious, and "wild and rough" is what most media describe him. Due to Grining's off-field life is very disorderly, even if he is skilled, he has never been selected for the England national team, every manager would not want to have such a player at his disposal, but after McClaren came to Middlesbrough, he strongly advocated the introduction of this midfielder, so in Middlesbrough, Grining is McLaren's absolute supporter.

But his bad habits have always been unchangeable, small actions on the field, off-field indiscretions, and nonsense in front of the media, which make him not loved by fans and the media, and he is also a little racist, always looking down on the non-EU players in the team, even the outstanding Brazilian veteran Juninho, is often excluded and ridiculed by him.

"The boss has said that we will win tomorrow's game, it's nothing, it's just a promoted horse. I am very confident that tomorrow I will let the promoted horse know that the promoted horse is the promoted horse, no matter how good the performance is, it is still the promoted horse! ”

"So, Mr. Grining, Allen of Wolverhampton. Wang has been in excellent form lately, averaging 1.89 goals per game, so will Middlesbrough have any tactical set-up for him in tomorrow's game? "This journalist is very smart, and asking McLaren this kind of question obviously won't get any desired results, but this brainless Glinin is likely to break some big news!

"Alan....King? This surname is really strange, I heard that he is half Asian blood? In that kind of football desert, there is no such thing as a good footballer, and the reason why he does well is because he has the other half of English ancestry. But now that he's met me, it's very difficult to show anything else. At the end, Grinin pretended to sigh.

In Grining's remarks, Wang Li was scolded as a 'mongrel', and he himself was a 'pure-bred' Englishman, and it was impossible for a 'mongrel' to defeat a 'purebred'.

After listening to Grining's words, the surrounding reporters were in an uproar, this is **naked racist remarks! And it's racism with a scolding interest!

Within an hour, Grining's 'theory of descent' had spread throughout Middlesbrough, and even Wolverhampton, who had just arrived here, knew about it.

…………

In a hotel next to the riverside court, Wang Li sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at the Patek Philippe gold watch on his wrist, unspeakable, and expressionless on his face.

"Allen, don't pay attention to that uneducated idiot, that's why Eriksen didn't recruit him to the national team." Looking at Wang Li's expression, Miller was a little worried, so he persuaded beside him.

'I'll have a chance to teach him tomorrow because as a professional footballer it's the real battlefield on the football pitch.' Kennedy said that he was also very angry about the remarks he heard today, and Wang Li had just turned 17 years old, and he was afraid that Wang Li would do something impulsive, so he came to take a look.

Harrielsen, who had just come in from outside the door, walked directly to Wang Li's side, held his shoulders with both hands, and shook it with a word, "Alan, cheer up, you won't be so easily defeated by a few words!" ”

Wang Li raised his head slightly, a puzzled expression flashed on his face, and he blinked a little blankly, "Are you talking about me?" ”

Miller paused, and after a while then said slowly, "Alan, when did you become as sluggish as Harry?" ”

"Am I sluggish? **, Miller, Pitt didn't come to Middlesboro today, it seems that Alice is home too..."Harilson said, with a silver smile on his face.

"Get out!"

……

In fact, Wang Li was also very angry about Grinin's remarks against himself, this is a naked insult, and it is an insult to race!

But counting, he has lived for more than 30 years, and he has long passed the age of impulsiveness, maybe in terms of love, he does not have much experience, but in terms of dealing with people, his mind is very calm, and now he is impulsive to do something, it is useless at all, just like Kennedy said, for a professional player, the green field is the real battlefield!

…………

Wang Li's inaction does not mean that he is cowardly, but rational.

But head coach Dave. Jones was clearly not going to ignore the matter, and immediately after learning of Grinin's remarks, he called a simple press conference.

"Grinin's racist remarks are discrimination against all Asian players, this is a disgrace to English football, this remark will cause psychological damage to my players and even all Asian players, I will appeal to the FA!"

"The person who can say this kind of remarks is a time bomb hidden in the crowd, oh, I'm sorry, it seems that Grining was originally a 'time bomb', I really don't know how McLaren would agree to such a bad quality person to join the team, sorry, the word 'human' is really a compliment for him, it deserves to be protected by the WSPA (World Animal Protection UK)."

…………

"That's a clown who likes to sensationalize, and I never pay attention to his remarks." That evening, against Dave. Jones's remarks, McLaren immediately shot back.

"So what do you think of the comments made by the team's midfielder Grinin?" The reporters immediately asked.

"Grining's words are just to emphasize the team's confidence in the game, and there is no racist intent, rather than chewing here, it is better to focus on tomorrow's game, maybe Wolverhampton will soon encounter Waterloo at Riverside Stadium!"

………

Regardless of the outcome of this debate, the war of words between the two managers, led by Grining, has already ignited the passion of the media and the fans, who are even more looking forward to tomorrow's game!

For both managers, whoever wins tomorrow's game will be the winner!
