"I really don't know what the English football team always thought in their previous life. They actually let such a slow-responsive guy replace Erikson as the head coach of the national team." After the game, when Tottenham players celebrated the victory on the court, George looked at McLaren, who was in a daze not far away, and secretly complained. For this compatriot, George can be said to be not optimistic about the other party's prospects as a head coach at all.

Although Middlesbrough in his previous life reached the UEFA Cup final of the season under McLaren, Sevilla was beaten up by 0-4 in the final, which made English football lose all face.

Even a head coach of Juander Ramos level cannot be dealt with. The FA will hire Eriksen as the head coach of the Three Lions after he left. George really feels that these officials are absolutely useless when making this decision. Even if they ask Old Redknapp or Allardyce to coach, it is much better than letting McLaren on stage!

Not to mention, coaching the national team and coaching the club are different, and there are quite a big difference between the two. Due to the limited training time, it is difficult for international players from different clubs to cooperate tacitly like when playing football in the club. Therefore, for most national team coaches, how to integrate a team with insufficient tacit understanding into the maximum combat power in the shortest time is their focus!

Otherwise, like Eriksen, he would use Manchester United's members as the backbone and tactical core of the national team, first ensure the lower limit of the team and his own control over the national team, and then use other stars to enrich his flesh and blood to improve his combat power; otherwise, like Scolari, Lippi and Rehger, he would use strict tactical discipline and superb personal charm to tie everyone together, so that the players would willingly fight for a certain goal; no matter how bad it is, he would choose to determine the core lineup at the beginning of his term and have a good relationship with them in the subsequent time, so that the team could follow, such as former England coach Venables and former French coach Le Maire.

However, McLaren did not take any of the above methods. After Erikson, who had been in charge of the Three Lions for five years, left and veterans such as Gary Neville and Thor Campbell faded out one after another, he deposed the captain of the national team on the grounds of "reform". He was also the most experienced and prestigious in the English team competition, trying to establish his prestige. Unexpectedly, this caused a series of problems. The team struggled in the European Cup qualifiers, which eventually led to England, which was full of stars, missed the European Cup!

Perhaps McLaren thought he could become the English Yakai and had the ability to copy the opponent's successful experience to England. However, this mediocre coach forgot the most important point, that is, Yakai established Zidane's absolute core position since the day he took office, and abandoned all the players who might compete for the core position with Qi Zu. What about McLaren? Until he was fired by the FA, he did not find a Zidane-style core for the England team, but instead threw away all the things left by Eriksen!

In this game, McLaren's on-site command problem, which was always slow to others, and the lack of tactical changes were once again revealed by George in front of everyone. With many well-known stars such as Viduka, Haselbaink, Downing, Palol and Southgate, McLaren neither chose to play his physical advantages in terms of physical fitness, using the wing breakthroughs of Downing and Palol with the double center to force the Tottenham goal, nor did he choose to play steadily. He seized the psychological desire to regain the top position in the standings from Chelsea, who had a more game, and played a defensive counterattack, but foolishly competed with Tottenham for control of the midfield!

In the current English football world, if Tottenham claims to be second in the midfield, if Tottenham claims to be second, then no one dares to say first. Manchester United, which has not yet completed technical transformation and Chelsea, which focuses on counter-countering, needless to say, even Benitez's Liverpool and Wenger's Arsenal, are definitely not Tottenham's opponents in this regard!

If you use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, and you cannot come up with a solution to the situation when your opponent is completely suppressed, how can Middlesbrough not defeat?

"I hope the group of mentally retarded FA can be more clear-headed and find a better-level head coach to take over the national team. Instead of choosing Erikson's successor from the English coach for unnecessary self-esteem and the arrogance and xenophobia in their bones." At this moment, George could only wishfully believe that after witnessing McLaren's poor performance in Middlesbrough against Tottenham, the FA in this life should not appoint this cheating product who is not good enough to be the head coach of the England national team!

Although the rise of the Premier League is becoming increasingly strong and there is a vague trend of becoming the world's number one football league, compared with other football powerhouses, the overall level of English local coaches is indeed much worse. Therefore, in George's view, rather than being a big guy from a short person and finding a local coach with a low level to coach the national team, it is better to hire a famous coach to take charge of the power!

In fact, George's only two foreign coaches who coached the Three Lions in his previous life, Erikson and Capello did a pretty good job in this position. Both of them took over a mess from their ex, and used their personal abilities to lead the England team, which had obvious shortcomings, into a favorite to win the championship, not only the "strongest in history" that only existed in the British media!

The reason why Capello suffered a Waterloo in the South Africa World Cup was largely because Terry, who was the defensive core of the Three Lions, broke the "friendly wife gate" incident at that time. The outbreak of this incident directly led to the fact that the English national team, which had already been on the right track, was distracted in an instant, and was eventually defeated by the Germans in the 8th final of the World Cup.

In the European Cup in 2018, the national team finally calmed down once, but the FA jumped out and caused trouble again. Without communicating with Capello, he unilaterally deprived Terry of the captain's armband, which led to the latter resigning in anger. England, which was once again in chaos, finally ended in the quarterfinals of the European Cup with regret!

In terms of team leadership, Capello and Eriksen are actually not much worse than their predecessors, and they even do much better than many of them (such as McLaren, Kay Keegan, Graham Taylor, etc.), but because they are not British, they have attracted more criticism and accusations from the media and fans. Not to mention, their arrival has also injected football concepts from the European continent into the old-fashioned English national team, avoiding the emergence of the Three Lions' complete disconnection from the mainstream football world!

Although the Premier League is in full swing, the Premier League teams are also trying their best to absorb the technical and tactical knowledge of mainland Europe, these have nothing to do with the FA. In the English national team, the one-acre three-point field belonging to the FA, the sound of sticking to tradition, that is, long passes and highs are always extremely powerful. Those old-fashioned and concise, who are immersed in the glory of the past, cannot recognize the development trend of modern football, refuse to make any form of reform, and at the same time, they are so poor that they are desperately in selecting coaches, which makes many stars unable to perform at the real level at the national team!

Therefore, how to secretly interfere with the FA's coach selection decision after the incident of the "Chiefs Gate" and prevent these fools from choosing a coach with insufficient ability to become Erikson's successor naturally became George's most priority when mentioning the national team!
