642. The problem of the FA
The cool evening breeze in Nice did not stop Huo Taigong from sitting in his seat as if he was feeling pins and needles. Taigong's broad forehead unknowingly had dense sweat.
Only 20 minutes later, England lags behind Iceland 1:2.
In the unknown Iceland, the deepest memory of Iceland by English fans is Goodjohansen.
The Icelandic man with blonde hair once formed a blue army with Hasselbaink and killed all the two black and white demons in the Premier League.
As for the current big shot of Iceland's team, the big sniper Sigoodson, in the impression of English fans, it is much worse than the old senior Good Johnson, but today, at least to the current position, he has completed a task that his senior has not completed. In this game with a huge gap in strength, he temporarily stood in the lead position, and maybe they will create miracles in 90 minutes.
Iceland's temporary lead was beyond everyone's expectations, including the English, Icelanders, French, and fans around the world who were waiting in front of the TV.
Wen Sheng, Carragher and Neville in the commentator's seat in the stands were anxious and angry. They blamed the team for their relaxed defense and Joe Hart's butterfly hands, but they could not change any situation on the court.
The English team, which was hit by Iceland twice, counterattacked, but it has to be said that they have become unbalanced in their mentality and everyone seems very impatient in their offense. Originally, Huo Taigong hoped that the English team would move closer to the mainland team in this European Cup, mainly passing and controlling, but after falling behind in this game, although England took the initiative in controlling the ball, but most of the time it was lacking patience and the offense seemed a little impatient. Only Kane was the single striker, and the tough Icelander made Kane look weak.
"It should be changed!" Wen Sheng gave his own advice at the beginning of the second half.
According to his idea, the team should take a gamble and decisively change from 4231 to 424. At this time, Kane did not play a good role in the penalty area. He either asked him to go down or added a helper to him.
Brother-in-law Vardy will be Wen Sheng's answer, but Huo Taigong did not do so. He chose to replace Will Sheer with Dale, and the England midfield configuration became Will Sheer and Rooney. It has to be said that Huo Taigong is so bold that it makes people laugh and cry.
Carrager has no face to give Huo Taigong any more and said bluntly that this is a fool.
Neville, who had been Huo Taigong's assistant, also tactfully criticized Huo Taigong's shortcomings in tactical response.
Will Sheer strengthens the ball control?! This is such a joke!
At such a moment, it is meaningless to have the ball in your spare time. In fact, rather than controlling the ball, England should pay more attention to disrupting the opponent's defensive system rather than controlling the ball.
Rashford and Vardy made their debut one after another, and the four forwards gathered in the stadium, but who will pass the ball?!
With the addition of factors such as luck, tactical errors, poor player condition, etc., England was indeed eliminated by Iceland as Wen Sheng remembered.
With the referee's whistle, there was silence in the commentary. There was no doubt that Wensheng's soul belonged to China. However, he has been an English fan in England for many years. He also hoped that the nightmare in his memory would no longer happen, and he hoped that football would go home. But in the end, the "Three Meows" once again disappointed everyone.
"He is not worthy of staying in this position!" Carragher, who had worked with Grandpa at Liverpool, shouted indignantly, with an extremely embarrassed expression.
Neville and Wensheng both knew that Taigong really couldn't stay in this position. They both knew that the coaching position of the national team is a hot potato for Taigong. Maybe today or tomorrow, the England team will usher in a new beginning.
......
Icelandic fans and national team members at the Riviera Stadium are still celebrating this difficult victory. They have created miracles and will continue to stage their own dark horse legend in this European Cup.
But the press conference hall in the stadium is also very lively. Journalists from different nationalities and TV stations were discussing the game warmly. The reporters from England were particularly intense. These reporters from London, Manchester, and Liverpool were the ones with the least moral integrity.
England's developed media culture has made this group of damn reporters. Every time the national team crashes, it is a carnival moment when they eat human blood buns. Many people have made up their minds. Today, they will preside over justice for tens of millions of England fans and let the shameless Hodgson get out of the national team coach.
"The past four years have been a very wonderful experience as the coach of England, and I will be very proud of this experience in the future. For me, the result of the game tonight has disappointed me very much, which has forced us to leave this event. We have the ability but have not gone as far as possible, which is unacceptable for everyone." Hodgson said.
"I am very proud of my coaching team work, and I have gained some gains during my coaching team. From a team with an average age of 30 to the youngest team in the European Cup, the changes here are very significant, and the future English football has great prospects. I could have been in this position for another two years, but I am very practical and I know that everyone is pursuing results."
"It's time for others to lead this young, thirsty and talented team. They are so great that they can always do what I'm going to do. When I first came, I was told that some players weren't happy to play for the national team and were always dragging on the last minute, but I've never seen this happening. These players love playing for their country and their loyalty is beyond question."
After a scattered passage from Taigong, he announced his resignation!
This result made the reporters on the scene stunned. The Uncrowned King had not thought that Huo Taigui resigned, but they had not thought that Taigong had spoken out early, and everyone almost suffered internal injuries. We hadn't spoken yet?! Why did you retreat?!
Huo Taigong finished reading his manuscript "free and easy" and then left, leaving the group of uncrowned kings in the wind.
Taigong's resignation was obviously in a hurry. The FA knew that he was very likely to resign after losing to Iceland during an upset loss, or even if Princess Huo did not leave, the FA would have fired him "justified". However, he did not expect that the Huogong would write a speech after the game and say goodbye directly. After all, before the game, Huo Taigong and the English team had great confidence.
So the next day, the FA held another press conference. The CEO of the FA, Martin Glenn and Huo Taigong attended together. Anyway, they all resigned, so Huo Taigong didn't care. They bombarded the media at the meeting and then expressed dissatisfaction with the FA. The general idea was that they had already resigned yesterday. What does it mean to hold this press conference today?! Whip me?!
Martin Glenn was very embarrassed. To be honest, Taigong is right, someone must come out to take the blame. Who else is more suitable to take the blame than Taigong Huo, the failed head coach?!
.........
Lancaster Gate 12, one of the FA offices.
After being out of Iceland for a surprise, Huo Taigong patted his butt and left, and the remaining pressure accumulated on the FA.
The media are criticizing Huo Taigong's N crimes, and the FA has been scolded by fans all over the world once again.
Tragedy has happened, and what matters is the future, isn’t it?!
While scolding the FA and Huo Taigong, the reporters waited near the headquarters, intending to understand the FA's next move.
Since the construction of Wembley Stadium was completed, the FA has placed its headquarters at Wembley Stadium. At this moment, in order to avoid reporters, Dyke, David Jill and others fled to No. 12 Lancaster Gate (formerly the FA Headquarters) to avoid the limelight.
"Gentlemen, we must determine the new national team helmsman as soon as possible. Now I am wondering whether we can walk out of the door safely. The fans will tear us all into pieces!" FA Chairman Greg Dyke's expression was very serious and his voice was loud in the conference room.
Hiding is not a solution, gentlemanly demeanor, and problems in the post-Taigong era also need to be solved.
FA CEO Martin Glenn, Vice Chairman David Jill and Technical Director Darn Ashworth, sitting upright with a serious expression. They are all old foxes and know that the best way to make the next head coach as soon as possible, so that they can divert the media's attention and make the FA ease.
After all, I am surrounded by reporters all day long, and it is still very uncomfortable to see that I am scolded in the newspaper every day.
At Huo Taigong's farewell press conference, Martin Glenn had informed reporters that the FA will form a three-man coaching group for the selection of new coaching teams. The trio is David Gill, Darn Ashworth and Martin Glenn who attended the meeting today.
The gaming industry and media industry in England are quite developed. After Huo Taigong resigned, Spinach Company immediately opened the odds of the new head coach, and the media began speculation about the new helmsman. Southgate, Gary Neville, Alan Padu, Eddie Howe, etc. are popular, and well-known coaches such as Wensheng and Wenger are also among them, but their odds are relatively high.
Neither the bookmaker nor the media think that Wen Sheng has the possibility of coaching the England national team. At the age of Wen Sheng, he is more likely to coach a club. You should know that there are still many clubs interested in Wen Sheng, but it is not suitable for Wen Sheng. Moreover, for Wen Sheng, the head coach of the England national team is low, and the FA may not be willing to pay a high salary to invite Wen Sheng.
So much so that Arsenal coach Wenger's odds are lower than Wen Sheng. After all, he is older, and the national team's workload is smaller and the matching degree is higher.
It is naturally impossible for the three to choose a coach group to rely on the media's speculation as the basis for their coaching. On the contrary, sometimes they choose different answers in order to avoid suspicion. Haha, after listening to the media's caution, the media will be scolded by fans and they are disobedient and do not understand the ball.
Greg Dyke convened the three-person coaching group today, on the one hand, the situation is very serious (the domestic situation believes that losing to Iceland is a shame, and Greg Dyke even wants to resign). He needs to select the coaching group to speed up the progress, and on the other hand, he listens to the candidates for the three-person coaching group in terms of head coaching candidates.
There is no reason why the English Football Association is often scolded, because they "fans think they don't understand football and mess around." Originally, people like Dyke, Jill, and Glen are managers. They used to be businessmen and managers, and then they were introduced to the football world by clubs. Clubs such as Manchester United only value their abilities in the business field. The same is true for the FA to absorb them.
With the development of commercialization of the English professional league, clubs have become more and more rich and influential. As a manager, the FA was very poor for a period of time and had no money. If there was no money, it means that they would be bullied by the club. Therefore, this also caused the FA to have to follow the money and pay great attention to commercial development in management.
Under such a background, a manager like Dyke has become the helmsman of the Football Association. Not only him, but others on the board of directors are also diverse, including local representatives, lawyers, accountants, and the insurance industry. In short, not many people who really understand the management organization of the board of directors really understand the game.
The three-person team is actually responsible for selecting the handsome group. Darn Ashworth and David Jill. David Jill was the CEO of Manchester United before. Although Ferguson dominated the world, he had seen pork. Darn Ashworth was a real football player and used to be a technical director in Bloomwich West Blumwich for a long time.
Huo Taigong's final position as the head coach of the national team is closely related to Dane Ashworth's recommendation.
Martin Glenn is actually not very important. He is the CEO of the FA. His main responsibility is to generate income for the FA. He mainly talks about money in this regard, and his professionalism is still mainly Ashworth and Jill.
Chapter completed!
