Chapter 249: Capello and Crazy Lee's Respective Plans
July 9th!
Soho Square, London, the headquarters of the English FA!
In two hours, the press conference for Crazy Lee's arrival in the England national team will take place here, and reporters from all over the world will rush to the press conference hall before 15:00...... The reason why I came so early is because the veteran reporters who often attend press conferences about the madman Li know that if you don't arrive at the scene two hours before the official start of the press conference, then congratulations, you will definitely not be able to find a foothold at that time, and you will not be able to get first-hand interview materials, so you will be waiting to be criticized by the boss...... Journalists also occupy seats!
The FA officials didn't expect so many reporters to come, and they came so early, it was really a bit busy for a while!
In addition to the news media, there were also many fans gathered in SOHO Square, where England's strong men and beauties wore St. George's Cross flags and chanted "God save my king" to welcome the arrival of the new Three Lions coach Maniac Lee...... FA CEO Brian Balvik looked down through the office window and couldn't help but be stunned: although Crazy Lee has not led the team to play a game, but this greeting posture alone has far surpassed any other in history, and Balvik regretted not snatching Capello or Lippi before, but now it seems that Crazy Lee seems to be a more popular choice!
At 14:30, Li Tongfan finally came out after a long time and came to SOHO Plaza!
Accompanying Li Tongfan to attend the press conference was the right-hand man of [Shining Red Star] Cabaidi Henry, this Spanish strong man looked like a bodyguard at a glance, and after getting out of the car, he separated the crowd, and Lao Li easily broke through the heavy encirclement of fans...... I didn't forget to stand on the steps of the building and pose to the England fans I met for the first time, waved my hand and went straight into the building.
Before the press conference began, Lee Tong-beom had to meet Brian Balvik first!
###δΈζ€εζΆ!
Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello, who led the team to Germany to participate in the Beckenbauer Cup Invitational Tournament, held a regular press conference after the game to be interviewed by German reporters, but the press conference lasted less than 3 minutes, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward, because the reporters' questions were always inseparable from the former madman Li who had already taken charge - "Mr. Capello, do you think you can lead Real Madrid to replicate the mythical record of last season?" β
ββ¦β¦ Crazy Lee has left an indelible personal mark on Real Madrid, have you felt the pressure in your work these days? Will it have an impact on the team's preparation......"
ββ¦β¦ Last season's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he is considering leaving Real Madrid, and as far as we know, the likes of Luka Modric and Joel Luca are also considering a move due to the departure of Crazy Lee. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you have anything to say to the fans in a special survey conducted by Marca, where 75.4 percent of fans believe that you will not be able to replace the madman Lee in their minds, and at the same time doubt that you will be able to lead the team back to last season's treble-winning glory? β
"Mr. Capello, the madman ...... Lee"
Before the reporters could finish their words, Capello's face darkened!
Because the Italian remembered the morning of the team's training camp before coming to Germany, Ronaldo, Beckham and Modric came to report with alcohol, and they were suddenly angry. Although Capello didn't know that a few hammers were going to compensate their former boss for drinking, but as an iron-fisted coach who has always been strict in governing the army, the Italians have been very dissatisfied with these players...... Capello was already thinking about how to weaken the imprint of the madman Lee and establish his prestige among the players.
Of course, Ronaldo and Beckham, the two super core figures, can only come soft and slowly appease...... But Modric and a few other guys could only kill chickens and show monkeys...... At this moment, the European transfer market has opened, and Real Madrid is brewing this big storm ......###δΌ¦ζ¦sohoεΉΏεΊ!
FA Headquarters Building!
At 15:00 in the afternoon, the eyes of the entire British Isles are focused here, and the inauguration ceremony of the youngest, most expensive and most expected foreign head coach in the history of the Three Lions, Crazy Lee, is about to begin!
When Brian Balvik accompanied Li Tongfan into the press conference hall, the reporters, who had long been standing on the verge of cramping their legs, suddenly picked up the cameras in their hands and "suddenly" frantically as if they had taken King Kong Pills...... The crackling magnesium lights were like a never-ending storm, and soon they were connected into an unknown and impassioned symphony, and Balvik was used to seeing big scenes, and he was also shaken...... Next!
Although it has long been known that Lee Tong-fan is in charge of three legions, the FA CEO still strictly follows the process of the press conference - first of all, the theme is formally introduced: "The national team has encountered difficulties in the European Championship qualifiers, and the decision to change the manager is a very difficult thing, but we are fortunate to have found a manager who can lead the team to glory, and I and the FA board agree that Mr. Rice Bucket is the most suitable person......" Barvik pointed out the window, The cheers of England fans under the building can be heard clearly: "...... And it seems that the people are also very satisfied with this signing......"
The reporters laughed out loud!
After Balvik's introduction, it was Li Tongfan's turn to announce the outline of his "policy outline", and the muffled man sat forward and moved the microphone to his mouth: "I feel very honored to be the head coach of the national team who is the originator of modern football......
There were many English reporters at the scene, and Li Tongfan's sentence of "the originator of modern football" greatly satisfied the national pride and vanity of these proud and arrogant gentlemen, and the original troublesome thoughts have also disappeared a lot!
Who knew that the next words of the sullen man turned around: "Of course, you should be more honored, because I am here to bring the Three Lions a trophy that you have always dreamed of...... Although I hadn't coached the national team before, the rules of football are the same for injuries on any pitch and I don't have any pressure on that...... Next, you can ask questions......" After Li Tongfan finished speaking, he moved the microphone to the side and waited for the reporter to ask questions!
Here it comes!
Here comes the most important part!
Wearing a London Post work vest, the bearded and chubby reporter squatted at the front with a microphone and took the lead in attacking: "The national team finished fourth in the Euro 08 budget tournament, which disappointed the fans, how long do you think it will take you to recover this decline?" β
Li Tongfan leaned back on the back of the chair, changed a comfortable position, and replied without delay: "A game!" β
"You mean the must-have match against Israel on September 8th?" The bearded reporter was stunned: "A big victory? β
"No, the European Championship final!" The sullen man said in an astonishing voice: "A big victory!" β
The reporters laughed, this is the style of the madman Lee!
The beard retreated stupidly!
Then, the Sun reporter asked a question that everyone wants to know: "Why did you only sign a one-year contract with the FA, when many people think you could have been in charge of the national team a little longer......
"The reason is simple, the duration of the contract does not make sense for either of us...... If I can't win the Euros, as I promised, in a year's time, do you think Mr. Bryan Balvik will continue to keep me in the national team? β¦β¦ Hehe, of course, that's a fair time frame for me, because if I keep my promise, I'll have the opportunity to ask the FA for a higher salary in a year's time......"
Crazy Lee's explanation was obviously perfunctory, but the witty answer made everyone, including Brian Balvik, laugh. The CEO secretly wiped a handful of sweat on the side, the madman Lee's performance today exceeded his imagination, to be honest, due to Li Tongfan's "crazy reputation", Balvik was frightened in advance to prepare a lot of plans for this lord to wipe his ass...... Thankfully, the worst didn't happen, and Crazy Lee didn't go crazy today!
Next, the beautiful reporter of The Times, Blassy, asked the question that all England fans are most concerned about: "The national team has performed poorly in the previous games, and the fans think McClaren made a mistake in selecting players, will you make any changes to the current national team squad?" β
The noisy press conference hall quickly calmed down after Brassie's question, and it was clear that the question had caught the attention of all the reporters!
"Adjustment is a must...... Lee Tong-fan bluntly said: "I will give the young players some chances, they are the future of England, and in the coming period I will focus on the work of the players...... Of course, star players who have proven themselves in the team will also be valued, eh...... Actually, I would say that there is a chance for everyone! β
What is this?
Fair competition, can the capable get on the job?
The reporters were obviously not satisfied with such an answer, and the beautiful Brassi frowned and asked dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Rice Bucket, the captain of the national team has always been Chelsea's defensive stalwart John Terry, will you change this?" β
It's a bombshell!
Reporters speculated that Crazy Lee would take some peaceful measures at the beginning of his tenure, after all, the selection of the captain involved a lot of problems, and although the England team performed poorly in the previous games, Terry himself did not make any big mistakes, but Crazy Lee's answer was to the point...... "John did a good job in the national team, but I think David should be able to do better!" β
David Beckham?
It seems that the madman Li wants to establish his own lineage, this is a big move, and the reporters began to record with bright eyes!
The next half-hour of free questions basically revolved around the management of the new Three Lions, with occasional people jumping out to ask if so-and-so player could get a chance, the Liverpool Post was concerned about Gerrard and Carragher's position, and the North London Express began to sing praises for Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, and the Newcastle reporter couldn't help but jump out and throw an idiot-like question: "Will Michelle Owen still get a call-up......
Everyone knows that the former Liverpool golden boy is now lying in the hospital because of the thigh ligament pull and is being cared for by the angel in white!
Li Tongfan shook his spirit, and used the two stunts of "Tai Chi" and "Turning Bones and Palms" to solve the reporters' strange problems one by one, and Lao Li would not reveal the reorganization of the national team to these guys who ran like a train in their mouths!
After the press conference, more than 200 reporters from all over the country turned around and left again and again under the push of the security guards, with expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces......
