238 Genius Clause
All the media focused on the Woodgate and Lee Bowyer lawsuit. If convicted, their careers will also be greatly affected.
Although the first few times were only mobbed by newspapers and media, they have not yet officially entered the legal process. But that's the case, Woodgate and Lee Bowyer's form has been greatly affected. It's almost muddy in the middle of the game. And the entire Leeds United team has been affected by the scandal.
If this matter enters the legal process, you can imagine what state Woodgate and Lee Bowyer will be in at that time.
O'Reilly is indeed a rookie coach, not even as good as George. George has been a head coach for four years and has been through promotion battles. He also played in the League Cup and FA Cup finals. Although he is younger than O'Reilly, O'Reilly is not as good as George in terms of coaching experience.
O'Reilly is a rookie coach through and through, taking on his first role as head coach last season. They were outstanding up front, but under pressure from George, Leeds ended up completely in collapse at the end of the season. Lost the Confederations Cup spot.
And this season, Leeds United started out with a lot more aggressiveness. After 20 rounds of the league, it is actually at the top of the list.
But a scandal caused Leeds United to collapse immediately. And O'Reilly is almost helpless, and O'Reilly's rookie nature can be seen at a glance in these games. After the lawsuit between Woodgate and Lee Bowyer was poked out by the media, O'Reilly was unable to control the locker room at all.
The matter of the two players turned out to be a mess for Leeds United, and the next four rounds of games achieved a four-game losing streak.
This kind of control, as a head coach O'Reilly is such a failure. It's no wonder that O'Reilly hasn't achieved any significant results since he left Leeds United.
If it were coaches like Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, they would certainly have a lot of methods. Even if you can't keep the team strong, you won't let the team become like this all at once.
George was disdainful of O'Reilly. Even if Woodgate and Lee Bowyer are important at Leeds United, with the strength of Leeds United, without these two people should not have lost four games in a row. O'Reilly, there is a problem with the wrist.
Although Manchester United was very strong, the sudden decline of Leeds United still gave George a long sigh of relief.
Whatever the reason, one less opponent is always something to be happy about.
As for Woodgate and Lee Bowyer, George didn't have much of an impression in his previous life. If there is an impression, it is that Woodgate later joined Real Madrid for a high price. Then in the two years at Real Madrid, he didn't play a few times because of his injury. It became a big joke of the Galactic Battleship at that time.
And Bowyer is even more fierce. When he was at Newcastle, he and his team-mate Dyer got into a big fight on the field. Being sent off by the referee with a red card also became a classic joke in the Premier League at that time.
For their impression, George is not very good.
This kind of player deserves to be subjected to this.
George didn't have the slightest sympathy, but snickered. These two boys played Asian players, and it was clear that there was some discrimination involved.
Leeds United's "Young Guard", it's not good for you to have me. If it weren't for George's birth, maybe Leeds United would have been as famous in European football as history. But now with George, with George's Blackburn, who could be more magical than Blackburn.
O'Reilly, I'm sorry. Leeds United, sorry.
…………
Of course, the focus of media attention, in addition to the scandal between the two of them, is Alex Ferguson, who has just returned to England from the Club World Cup.
In the past, they were all the champions of the European Champions Cup and the Copa Libertadores, which is the "Toyota Cup" that Chinese fans are very familiar with.
However, FIFA President Sepp Blatter is wrestling with UEFA and feels that the influence of the European Champions Cup is too great. And UEFA is too strong to launch a competition that can compete with the European Champions Cup.
Finally, he set his sights on the "Toyota Cup". He changed the "Toyota Cup" to the Club World Cup, which later became the Club World Cup.
From January 5 to 14, 2000, the first FIFA World Club Championship was held in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with eight clubs from Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and North and Central America participating. The tournament is divided into two groups with four teams each for a single round-robin, with the first place in the two groups competing for the championship, and the second group determining the third and fourth places. In the end, Corinthians from the host country Brazil met Vasco da Gama in the final, and Corinthians won the inaugural Club World Cup on penalties, the first major international football championship of the 21st century.
Manchester United, who won the Champions League last season, also participated in the Club World Cup this time.
However, the results were poor, with United finishing third in the group stage and missing out on a top-four finish.
Although FIFA President Sepp Blatter championed the World Club Cup tournament in Brazil in 2000, it was forced to stop due to disputes with sponsors. But this is the first time FIFA has tried to reform the Club World Cup.
Ferguson, who had an average record in the Club World Cup, did not talk too much about the Club World Cup after returning to England.
Instead, Ferguson reiterates the old saying, which is the issue of the "special genius clause" that George said earlier this season.
Ferguson said eloquently in front of reporters that the labor certification system in English football has been unable to adapt to the development of world football, and it is also an obstacle to the development of the Premier League. The labor certification system, I don't know how many good players have been prevented from entering English football. While the labor certification system can ensure the quality of foreign players, it also excludes many talented players.
After criticizing the labor certification system, Ferguson began to praise George's "special genius clause". George's "special talent clause" approach not only ensures the quality of foreign players in English football, but also allows for the introduction of some truly talented players.
George said it before the season, and it had already caused an uproar in English football.
But after Ferguson said it, the gold content was completely different.
Who is Alex Ferguson? If he says he is the second coach in the Premier League, no one dares to say that he is the first coach in the Premier League. It has been almost fifteen years since he became the owner of Manchester United, and who can compare with the influence in English football.
The Premier League has won four Premier League titles in seven seasons since its inception. He has also led Manchester United to the Champions Cup, the Cup Winners' Cup and the FA Cup.
What George said, the FA could ignore. Are you George a bird? However, even if he has only won the League Cup and the FA Cup, he can't hide George's age.
Arsene Wenger is backing George, and the FA can scoff at it. Wenger? You're a Frenchman, and you won't know how thick the sky is when you've won two Premier League titles.
But Ferguson is now speaking out, and it is impossible for the FA to ignore it completely.
And after Ferguson said it, many newspapers immediately changed the direction of the wind. Even after George brought it up, a number of newspapers that criticized George suddenly changed their tune and waved the flag for Ferguson. And not long after Ferguson finished speaking to the media, many people jumped out to support Ferguson.
This left George dumbfounded.
What is influence, this is called influence. Ferguson's nearly fifteen years at Manchester United are definitely not fake.
The same issue, George and Arsene Wenger said, so many people objected. There are so many famous criticisms of the so-called protection of homegrown football talent, but there are so many echoes of Ferguson's same views.
George smiled helplessly. I also envy Ferguson in my heart.
When will I be able to have this kind of influence in English football?
But George knows it's all about Ferguson's impact with his excellent results. In fact, there are many coaches in England, and their qualifications are even much higher than that of Alex Ferguson. But there are very few coaches with the influence of Alex Ferguson.
In competitive sports, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to speak with results. If it weren't for good results, Ferguson would have been a coach at Manchester United for 20 years, and who would have taken you in his mouth.
However, this is not the time to think about this issue, so George immediately stood up in support of Ferguson after he brought up the topic. In fact, this George is the first to initiate, but who makes George inferior to Ferguson.
So George can only be Ying and Ferguson.
At this time, Ferguson's big opponent, Wenger also spoke out in support of Ferguson.
The coaches of these big clubs began to speak, and immediately a powerful voice was formed. This powerful voice is something the FA will never dare to ignore.
Just a few days later, an FA spokesperson spoke out on the matter.
"Coach Levy has been discussing the 'special talent clause' since Coach Levy mentioned it at the beginning of the season. It's just that because the stakes are so high, so far no unified plan has been come up. However, the FA will discuss the matter in a short period of time and come up with a countermeasure. ”
"The FA has come out with a plan that protects the development of local players and the interests of clubs."
George scoffed at such bureaucratic articles. What kind of broken things, I want you to study it for half a year and you haven't been able to find it.
If Ferguson hadn't spoken, the FA wouldn't have bothered to deal with George. George understands this. George and Arsene Wenger at the start of the season, along with some support from other club coaches, didn't get the FA to say anything.
Now that Ferguson has only spoken, an FA spokesman has said that a plan will be studied. It's infuriating.
However, after hearing the FA's statement, George believes that this time the FA will not ignore it.
George would be very happy if the "special genius clause" could be introduced in advance. Not to mention South America, Africa, and even Eastern Europe, there are a number of good players waiting for George. George drools just thinking about it, so many talented players are waiting for him.
Hehehe. You all wait, you can't escape from the palm of my hand.
