Michael Irving, lost!

Thor Campbell, lost!

The decision of George immediately caused extremely huge controversy in the English football world by excluding the forward ace and back-defense back-stakes of the Three Lions' past eight years from the roster!

"Indeed, Michael's competitive state this season has declined compared to his peak period, but this is mainly because he has suffered quite serious injuries, which has caused him to be unable to play his full strength in the game." Although he is no longer coaching in English football, as the mentor who guides Irving on the road to superstars, Hollier naturally has to support his favorite disciple at this time. "Not to mention his glorious deeds at Liverpool in those years, just when he played in Real Madrid last season, Michael was the player with the highest goal efficiency in the team! It is even more undeniable that Michael is still the most outstanding in the current England striker! Keeping such an excellent player with rich game experience out is definitely a major mistake by coach George Nelson in terms of personnel employment and a major loss for the English national team!"

There are many people who share the same view as Hollier or support the French coach's views. After Hollier clearly expressed his doubts about Irving's failure to be selected for the national team, Alan Hiller, Kevin Keegan and other influential stars and celebrities in English football also came forward to express their opinions, believing that George's move to exclude Irving from the roster was really under consideration!

Some people may have questions, this battle with Uruguay is just a friendly match, why are there so many celebrities pointing fingers at George's strategy of employing people, causing trouble in the entire English football world? It's not announcing the list of the World Cup...

The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, because the opposition parties who are dissatisfied with George's becoming the head coach of the Three Lions are making trouble behind the scenes, intending to use this method to attack George's prestige and create trouble and obstacles for his coaching path in the national team; on the other hand, it is because until now, Irving is still one of the most famous and most capable players among all local strikers!

It has to be said that with the implementation of the Boseman Act and the gradual deepening of the commercialization of the Premier League, English football, which has always been a prosperous talent, has also begun to face the dilemma of no one to be available. You should know that the Three Lions had top scorers like Kevin Keegan, Reinkell, and Alan Shearer. Forwards of Andy Cole level cannot even get a chance to play for the national team. The coaches of the previous England team don’t need to worry about the candidates for the striker. Now, among the local strikers in England, except for Irving, who is already more famous than the real level, and Rooney, who has rapidly risen in a supernova manner in recent years, there are only second-rate strikers like Husky, Defoe, and Crouch. The overall level of forward players has declined significantly compared to ten years ago!

There is no major general in Shu, and Liao Hua is the pioneer. This is the embarrassing situation facing English football. If this were not the case, fans would not have such a violent reaction to Irving's absence - it is because the current Three Lions can't find a striker who can replace Irving!

While people were shocked by Irving's defeat, Campbell, who was in the same situation, did not receive the same treatment as Irving. After all, compared with the forward line with a decline in talents, the Three Lions, which are the top three centre-backs of Ferdinand, Terry and Ridley King, are full of talents. Campbell, who is getting older and declining in form, is naturally not unacceptable to being excluded from the roster in this environment. Not to mention, the grudge between Campbell and Tottenham Hotspur is well-known in English football. Many fans despise this former Tottenham Hotspur captain who transferred to his arch-enemy in the city for a high salary. Therefore, now that Campbell has ended up, there will not be many people sympathize with him.

In addition to the decision to exclude Irving and Campbell from the national team roster, George's move to recruit Tottenham players in this friendly match with Uruguay has also become the focus of fierce criticism by media experts - the selection of Ridley King, Gerald and others is indeed natural. Phil Neville was also a regular visitor to the England national team before George was recruited, but the selection of Bynes, Dawson and even Lennon undoubtedly left an excellent talk for the opposition!

Stubborn! Nepotism!

For most head coaches, these two hats are enough to seriously shake their prestige in the team and thus cause serious obstacles to their coaching path. However, there are still a very small number of head coaches - such as George Nelson - who can ignore these two difficulties!

You should know that in the work contract signed by the FA and him, George is fully responsible for all the affairs of the Three Lions. The FA only needs to do a good job in ensuring the national team according to George's requirements. Therefore, although the opposition's doubts can be said to be overwhelming, George did not give any explanation for this... In his opinion, if you have time to play a verbal battle with these guys, it is better to speed up the team's running-in level!

As for whether the FA will terminate its work contract with him under the pressure of public opinion, George doesn't care at all. Although the opposition is calling for a change of coach now, it seems that firing George Nelson can solve all the problems, but if the FA really does this and reveals a little intention to let one of them take office, these people will be numb!

At the moment when the World Cup is approaching, it is not in the best state to bet on the reputation I have accumulated in football for many years to coach, and it is not the best state. It is also the most demanding public opinion environment in the world. These guys who like to talk about it but have never been able to talk about it on paper will definitely not take the huge risk to take over this hot potato!

"George, isn't it too risky to do this?" Relying on his sweetheart's arms, Elizabeth raised the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time. "Only Campbell's words will not be said much. Irving is excluded from the roster. Once the national team's record is poor, it will easily cause trouble."

"Eli, if I want to establish my prestige in the locker room as soon as possible, then this is undoubtedly the easiest and most effective method... I need to let these men who have been spoiled by the FA know that their good days are gone forever." Facing his fiancée and one of the people he trusted the most, George naturally had no intention of concealing his ideas and told them very readily. "The reason why Lennon and Bynes were recruited into the national team was to better grasp the voice of the national team and shock those in the team who were dissatisfied with me; on the other hand, it was because there were too few people among the local English players who could understand and implement my tactical ideas!"

Although more than ten years have passed, the ticket issued by UEFA to England clubs after the Heisel massacre still has a huge negative impact - it has missed the three major European Cups in a full five years, and the overall level and influence of the English League were surpassed by several other major leagues. The stagnation of technical and tactical levels or even a sharp regression is the fatal one!

Before this, although English football was famous all over the world for its long pass and rushing, there was never a shortage of players with delicate skills on the three lines. Bobby Moore was called the least defender by Pele, but not only because of his defensive skills, but also his excellent organizational skills and the top pass control level among the defenders of the same era; Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and even Aston Villa were able to dominate the Champions League, which was enough to prove that English football was at the top level in the technical and tactical level at that time!

Coupled with the impact of the Boseman Act, although technical midfielders like Joe Cole have emerged in recent years, and the Premier League's European Cup points have returned to the top four in Europe, the quality of young players trained is unsatisfactory. Most local coaches also unilaterally emphasize the importance of physical confrontation, and regard the long-pass hoisting tactics as the standard, neglecting the cultivation of players' skills and overall situations, and not considering tactical innovations!

This is the main reason why in George's previous life, the 35-year-old Beckham was able to represent the national team in the South Africa World Cup until he was seriously injured and was reimbursed for the season. Whether it was Lampard or Gerrard, they were regarded as the core of the midfield, they were not able to control the rhythm of the Three Lions in the game!

When facing opponents with strong strength or excellent midfield guidance, they are often in a passive situation. After Gascoin and Manchester United's 92 generation faded out of the national team one after another, this symptom completely evolved into the stubborn disease of the Three Lions. Who would have thought that France could compete with Argentina for 120 minutes in the World Cup, and South Korea and Japan once forced Brazil to England on the edge of the cliff. After that, they would have no choice but to have any opponents of Trinidad, Tobago and Ecuador, and were even blocked by Croatia from the final circle of the 2008 European Cup?

That's why George made the decision to summon Tottenham players such as Lennon, Dawson and other Tottenham players into the national team. The reason is that these "own people" can be perfectly integrated into his tactical system without running-in, thereby reducing the risk that the Three Lions will easily lose control of the game rhythm after being suppressed by the opponent and the players' tactical execution is extremely poor!

The most important thing is that he will definitely perform the tasks assigned by him without any discount and do his best on the court! Because unlike other goals that only bring glory to the country and add a few more points to his resume, these Tottenham players have to add one, that is, to fight for their own jobs!

When the national team coach and the club owner who pays him a salary are the same, I believe that any player with normal IQ will make the same choice!

ps: I didn’t expect it to be cut off for so long… There will definitely be no such long interruption in the future!
