I heard that Gao Shen was going to attend a hearing for Fernandinho, and the Brazilian midfielder was most grateful.
Just last night, he was really moved and said that he would do his best to compete for Gao Shen and repay Gao Shen for his high regard and high hopes for him.
But the most excited ones were the British media, especially reporters from major newspapers in London. They all frantically blocked the outside of the FA headquarters, watching Gao Shen and his entourage go in, waiting for the final result.
Even though Gao Shen had been well prepared, the smoothness of the hearing really surprised him.
How does this look like a country is issuing a labor certificate for a foreign player?
When Gao Shen signed leave requests for his own players, he questioned them more clearly and in-depth than they did.
To put it simply, the six judges sat over there. Gao Shen and others came in and asked a few questions in a routine manner. The lawyer representing Manchester City answered and defended a few words, and then asked Gao Shen about the fee.
Fernandinho's positioning, and why is Fernandinho determined to be the player Manchester City relies on?
The key points given by Gao Shen are that he scored in the final of the World Youth Championship in Abu Dhabi and that he is Brazilian.
Everyone knows that Brazil is full of talents. Even if you can't make it to the Brazilian national team, there are still a lot of talents outside.
Deco, is it awesome?
Who can doubt that he is not a genius?
But has Deco made it to the Brazilian national team?
And Pepe, has he made it to the national team?
If they are players from other countries, they will definitely have to fight for a while, but for Brazilian players, there is no need.
Gao Shen is also very sure that Fernandinho will definitely make it to the Brazilian national team.
The jury did not make a penalty on the spot, but will have to discuss it again, but the result will come out in the next two days. If it passes, then Manchester City can start applying for a labor certificate for Fernandinho. If it does not pass, Manchester City will
There is still a chance to appeal again.
But before going out, Gao Shen "happened" to bump into David Bernstein, who politely chatted with Gao Shen and others, generally to reassure them.
The subtext is: As long as I am here, everything will be OK!
Gao Shen nodded his thanks knowingly and led everyone out.
…
Compared with the hearing jury inside the door, the media reporters outside the door are even more difficult to deal with.
Why?
Because the national team, which the whole of England has high hopes for, failed in the round of 16 at the just-concluded World Cup in South Africa, and lost humiliatingly to its archrival Germany 1-4.
Is this okay?
It doesn’t matter if you lose to your mortal enemy, but you still lose so miserably!
Reflect!
It’s impossible not to reflect!
Must reflect deeply!
The England national team is like this. There are many star players, but every time they go to the big competition, they become weak players. They are popular every year and are eliminated every year. Then they reflect on it every year.
The team has the same virtue.
Recently, the British media, after "deep reflection", felt that there were too many foreign players in the Premier League.
This is because there is data that shows that only close to 40% of the Premier League’s local players are foreign players, with more than 60% of them being foreign players.
Moreover, this local player also includes Scottish, Irish and other British players.
When the media begins to reflect, the Premier League giants who bear the brunt will be in trouble.
The first unlucky one was Wenger.
According to Premier League regulations, the first team must have at least eight locally trained players.
The restriction for this locally trained player is that he must have played for an English club for at least three years before turning 21.
Well, Arsenal is a well-known international team.
Some people may ask, how did Wenger reach this standard?
It's very simple. Wenger's approach is to buy a lot of young outside players and train them for three years. Isn't that a locally trained player?
Therefore, Arsenal’s list of English local training is: Denmark’s Bendtner, France’s Clichy, Brazil’s Denilson, Switzerland’s Djurou, Spain’s Cesc Fabregas, Cameroon’s Alexander Song…
Not enough?
I have more!
As a result, before the old Wenger had finished showing off his cuteness, he was immediately picked out as a model by the British paparazzi and was severely criticized by the media and fans.
What does it mean?
Are you just living a living in our Premier League and still unwilling to train our players?
How much do you despise us English people?
His strength is not that great, but his temper is not bad.
Look at Manchester United and Liverpool, they are examples of local youth training!
Look at Manchester City, is there anyone like your Arsenal?
Who are Manchester City’s homegrown players?
Given, Joe Hart, Leighton Baines, Trippier, Gary Cahill, Ireland, Henderson, Adam Lallana, Sturridge, Gareth Bale...
They also sold Micah Richards and Bridges, if not more.
Therefore, you deserve Arsenal not to be in the top four!
Because you don't have enough English players!
But soon, the media and fans became depressed.
Because they discovered that Manchester City was actually applying for a labor certificate for a Brazilian non-international player.
Darling, this is hitting the point of their guns.
I just finished praising you and you got angry?
Why go to such trouble to apply for a labor certificate for a Brazilian player who can't even make it to the national team?
Can't we find players in the UK who can replace him?
In terms of the media's ability to set the pace, the British paparazzi rank second. It is estimated that no paparazzi from other countries in the world dare to rank first.
Therefore, they blocked the door of the FA headquarters one after another, demanding Gao Shen to give an explanation.
What do you think about the fact that less than 40% of Premier League players are British?
…
This issue is acute and the conflicts are fierce.
Even as Englishmen, Brian Kidd and Marwood were a little nervous, suggesting that Gao Shen should just answer and hide, as there was no need to confront these uncrowned kings head-on.
After all, at this time, saying the wrong thing is likely to lead to loss.
Even if you are right, these media reporters will find fault with you.
Hide!
Or, just follow Ferguson's example and openly state in the media that there are indeed too many foreign players.
UEFA President Platini also believes that the uniqueness of the club and the country should be maintained.
But the key is that Gao Shen himself is a foreign head coach, and many of his players are also foreign players. He can't tolerate it!
"I think there is a very serious mistake in your logic in looking at this issue."
As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, the entire audience was in an uproar.
Initially, the media reporters were quietly waiting for Gao Shen to speak, but they did not expect that he would suddenly say such harsh words.
Is this to offend everyone to death?
Brian Kidd and Marwood also became nervous, frequently hinting to Gao Shen to forget it and stop talking.
But Gao Shen still stood there, motionless and very determined.
After everyone became quiet again, Gao Shen continued to explain what he said.
"Not only me, but everyone here and fans across the UK will not deny one thing, that is, the Premier League is the best, toughest, most competitive, and highest-level league in world football today, right?
"
As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, many British media reporters and peripheral British fans nodded.
This is a fact!
The Premier League ranks first among European leagues.
"Then I would like to ask, on such a stage that represents the highest level in the world and gathers the most outstanding stars from all regions of the world, with nearly 40% of the British people, is this considered a failure?"
Gao Shen's words immediately silenced everyone in the room.
Brian Kidd and Marwood were also lost in thought.
is not that right?
If we only regard the Premier League as the British Premier League, then only 40% of the British people are British, which is indeed a small number.
But if we regard the Premier League as the world's Premier League, then 40% of the English people are British. Isn't that small?
That’s a lot, okay?
Behind Gao Shen, people in the FA headquarters building, including Chairman Burton, Bernstein and others, were secretly spying on the situation outside. They all heard Gao Shen's words and fell into deep thought.
Is the Premier League the UK’s Premier League or the world’s Premier League?
"Mr. Gao!"
After more than ten seconds of silence, a reporter raised his hand to ask a question.
"I have to say that your perspective is very novel, but I would like to ask, if it is true as you said, the Premier League, as the world's number one league, has brought together the world's elites, with nearly 40% of the British people, then why do you choose from these 40% of the elites?
Why is it that the national team, which is composed of elites, has such poor results?”
"Good question, this is a good question!" Gao Shen pointed at the reporter and praised.
His compliment made the other party feel a little embarrassed and waved their hands repeatedly.
"That's right. Logically speaking, the national team composed of these elites should be very strong, but why can't they always achieve results?"
Gao Shen shook his head, "I'm not the head coach of the national team, so I can't give an answer, but what I want to say is that part of the reason must be that the league is too tired, so in the past many years, some people have been calling for the cancellation of a certain item.
Cup competition, because the Premier League is the only league among the four major leagues that has two domestic cup competitions, and it plays many more games than other leagues."
But this motion is always rejected because the fans are not happy and the Football Association is not happy either.
"There is also part of the reason. I think it is because, in fact, there were not so many British players who could play in the Premier League, but because of the rules and various terms, they had to appear in these 40%.
On the list?”
"If so, does that mean that our Premier League and our British players are not as strong as everyone imagined? Because looking at European football, we find that many Spaniards go to play abroad.
Many Italians and Germans also go abroad to play football, but it is rare to see British players playing abroad."
"Why is this?"
"I think that sometimes, we need to lower our noble heads, seriously look at and admit the gaps and shortcomings, and find out where the problems lie before we can solve them."
"So I think the problem that British football is facing now is not precisely because there are too many foreign players, but because there are too few foreign players and there is no more full competition. More high-level players and coaches should be introduced to further improve the British
The level of football and youth training.”
"What Britain needs to do most is to train more excellent high-level players and go to the Premier League to compete with these outstanding players. The players trained and trained in this way are the hope of the future of the England national team!"
