"Eli, did you think that Erikson was given some ecstasy by that reporter at that time? Why did you dare to say anything nonsense?" George put the Sunday Times in his hand on the coffee table and said speechlessly to Elizabeth, who was giving her head massage, "I actually explained all the things that could not be put on the table in front of an outsider. This is really a unique way to kill him."

If Eriksen only expressed his willingness to be a middleman and helped the other party acquire a Premier League club by charging a certain fee, the Chiefs' Sight incident would not have caused such a sensation in English football. In the past decade of the establishment of the Premier League, English fans have long been very resistant to such things under the "training" of Murdoch News Group. Regarding this, it can be seen that Ferguson, Venables, Allardyce and Redknapp had been exposed to black gold scandals in the newspapers, but they are still active in English football.

In fact, most fans don’t care too much about whether the head coach has really received any benefits in the transfer transaction. Venables, who is notorious in the English football circle, is the most popular and successful coach of the Three Lions after Robson; "Big Sam" and Redknapp Sr. are also famous coaches with a reputation in the football circle; Ferguson led Manchester United to dominate the Premier League for more than ten years, and the 98-99 season's triple-championship ended the bad situation in which English football has been wandering outside the mainstream European football circle since the Heisel tragedy, bringing the Premier League back to the ranks of the top European leagues!

So, as long as the team has a good record and will not have a serious negative impact on the club, which fan cares about the head coach's style or character?

However, I don’t know if my brain was anesthetized by alcohol, Eriksen did something he shouldn’t do. With the work contract with the FA, the Swedes made a public statement in front of the fake chief: As long as the other party successfully acquires a Premier League club and gives him an annual salary similar to Mourinho, he can leave England after the German World Cup!

Although it is normal for people to pursue better treatment and higher income, in the football circle, few head coaches will choose to take the initiative to change jobs to other teams before the contract has expired, because this practice is absolutely unacceptable in the eyes of most people. In their opinion, the head coach can coach other teams after being fired by the club or breaking up peacefully, but they must not do anything to fire the club for money - the last Don Reevy, who dared to abandon the Three Lions during the contract for a high salary, was still regarded as "Judas" and "traitor" by English fans until thirty years later!

In addition, Eriksen also said a lot of things that should not be said. For example, he commented on his big international players one by one: Ferdinand is sometimes lazy on the training ground; Irving chose to play football in Newcastle for money; Rooney has a bad temper and poor education because he came from a poor family; Beckham was not happy in Real Madrid; Wright Phillips was not worth the transfer fee of £24 million at all...

If Erikson's previous remarks about resigning from the England national team and getting a high salary in Aston Villa just let him lie in a coffin tailored for him by Magyar Mahamud, then the comments from his opponent's international can be said to be the Swedes knocking the last nail on his own coffin board - no player will support a head coach who openly talks about his shortcomings in front of outsiders, and no one will be willing to play for such a coach!

Therefore, after the outbreak of the Chiefs incident, Erikson's reputation suddenly plummeted, from a national team coach who is loved by English fans to a crossing rat that everyone calls. At the same time, in the England national team, the Swedes' prestige was greatly hit and weakened. Although the international players who were named by Erikson in the incident all said in an interview that they would continue to support the work of the Swedes and do their best to bring the World Cup championship back from Germany to Great Britain, who can know what they really think?

What's more serious is that Erikson also mentioned another extremely taboo topic in his conversation and claimed that as far as he knows, three Premier League clubs have serious corruption problems in player trades!

Unlike other countries, most English clubs at this time were dominated by the team's head coach. Although this approach allows the head coach to better introduce players and try to avoid embarrassing situations where new players do not meet the needs of the team, there are also many problems, such as the transfer black gold problem that has been repeatedly exposed by the media!

Although the benefits and kickbacks received in player transfers are not unique to England, and similar scandals have been exposed by Barcelona and Real Madrid, due to the unique tradition of English football, once such incidents occur, the people who get hit are generally the head coaches of each team. For most fans, the ones they are most familiar with are probably these head coaches. This means that whenever a black gold scandal breaks out in English football, the negative impact on the Premier League is often much greater than when it occurs in other countries!

He offended all the fans, players, clubs, and the FA and other aspects, and also made a huge hole, causing countless troubles to the FA and the Premier League. There is no doubt that Erikson's coaching journey in the England national team has come to an end. Even if Erikson's performance in leading the team in the past five years is not bad, no one can tolerate a profit-oriented and not even a goal-guarding person. He dares to say anything out of trouble and continues to sit in the position of the head coach of the Three Lions!

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the person is careful, there will be no disciple. Some things can be done quietly, and no one will really go to the bottom of it, but they must not be put on the surface. And Erikson's actions undoubtedly violated these taboos and dragged the others down!

Therefore, although there are more than four months left before the opening of the World Cup in Germany, and Eriksen was busy calling and apologizing after the Chiefs incident to repair his relationship with his international players, everyone knew very well that no matter what the final record of the Three Lions, the Swedes were destined to get out of the position of head coach of the England national team after the World Cup!

The only question now is whether Eriksen will leave voluntarily and break up peacefully with the FA, or will he stay in the position of national team coach and choose to leave after he gets a high termination fee from the FA.
