I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

At this moment, the media hall at Wembley Stadium was already packed.

Sports reporters from almost all of Europe flocked here to listen to the interview between Coach Adkins and Redknapp.

Coach Adkins's reputation has increased rapidly. Of course, most of this is due to Gu Ran, but no matter what, Coach Adkins can lead the English League One team Southampton to the EFL Cup finals. , he can definitely be called a "magic coach".

And Tottenham's head coach Redknapp is even more famous.

Harry Redknapp can definitely be called a legendary coach in England. His coaching philosophy can even be classified as world-class. The only thing that hinders Redknapp from becoming a world-class coach is that he does not He has coached a truly wealthy club, even if he coached Tottenham, Tottenham was not considered a wealthy club. After he helped Tottenham reach the top four of the Premier League and enter the Champions League, Tottenham did not make much signings.

And Tottenham's own youth team talents are not outstanding, not as good as Arsenal's youth team reserve.

Lao Lei is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice, so his coaching results are not that dazzling.

Lao Lei has led low-level teams for a long time and has very few resources. Coaching Tottenham is already the period in his life when he has the most resources at hand.

If Lao Lei and Ferguson are replaced and Lao Lei has the resources of Manchester United in 2010, then Lao Lei's achievements will definitely be higher than Ferguson's.

But there are not so many ifs in reality.

Lao Lei played for West Ham United when he was young. His career as a player was relatively average. In 1982, he hung up his boots at Bournemouth and became their assistant coach. In 1984, he officially became the head coach of Bournemouth. Until 1992.

The coaching during this period can be said to have been an unsatisfactory and failed start.

Lao Lei's thinking is very advanced, and Bournemouth simply has no resources to provide Lao Lei.

After repeated attempts for a long time, Bournemouth was relegated to the then Third Division, which was equivalent to the current Second Division.

Lao Lei also resigned after the 92 season.

A very serious accident occurred during this period. Lao Lei, along with other coaches and senior management of the club, took a car to Italy to watch the World Cup. As a result, there was a car accident on the road. Four of the five people in the car died, except Lao Lei. Survived.

This is equivalent to a smaller version of the "Munich Air Disaster".

After Lao Lei resigned, he recuperated at home for a year. During this year, he had no source of income and his mood was extremely low. He thought that life would be like this. However, a year later, his home team West Ham United invited him Re-emerged as an assistant coach.

Lao Lei, who had been a head coach, refused to be an assistant anymore, but in the end Lao Lei overcame his dignity and became an assistant coach of West Ham United.

In 1994, Lao Lei officially became the head coach of West Ham from the position of assistant coach.

During his coaching of West Ham United, West Ham United's performance quickly rose to the top of the Premier League and even entered the Europa League.

Moreover, in this process, West Ham United has also emerged a large number of future legendary superstars, such as the world's first defender Rio Ferdinand and the magic lamp Lampard.

Among them, Lampard is also Lao Lei’s nephew. Lampard’s mother is the sister of Lao Lei’s wife. Lao Lei and Lampard’s father were teammates when they were at West Ham United, and they were also very close teammates. , they also marry sisters when they marry their wives.

Of course, Lao Lei's son Xiao Lei, also known as Liverpool handsome boy Jamie Redknapp, is also a star, but he is not as well-known as Lampard, and his strength is indeed not as good as Lampard. Xiaolei has never relied on his father's relationship. He has relied entirely on his own ability to fight his way through football.

In short, Lao Lei has accumulated a lot of successful experience at West Ham United, which has also made Lao Lei start to think more about whether the core essence of winning or losing in football is procedures (formation) or people.

In 2001, Lao Lei joined Portsmouth and helped Portsmouth reach the Premier League.

After successfully hitting the Premier League, Lao Lei spent several good years in Portsmouth, but in 2004, he had a huge quarrel with the club CEO because of his different ideas. Then Lao Lei left his job in anger and went to Portsmouth. Southampton's rival, Lao Lei wants to help Southampton beat Portsmouth.

But Lao Lei didn’t coach Southampton for long. Before he could fully develop his tactical concepts and completely transform the lifeless Southampton, Southampton’s club CEO at the time insisted on bringing in assistants from the rugby world championship team. The coach collapsed.

Therefore, Lao Lei, who ran away in anger in 2005, returned to Portsmouth with the promise of more team-building rights, and helped Portsmouth successfully avoid relegation and brought Portsmouth to the middle of the Premier League. ——This is also the best result achieved by Portsmouth in the past fifty years.

Lao Lei's coaching success rate has also been recognized by many strong Premier League teams.

In October 2008, Lao Lei was officially appointed as the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, starting his Lilywhites career.

Immediately afterwards, in Lao Lei's first full season of coaching Tottenham, that is, last season in 09-10, Tottenham finished fourth in the Premier League and qualified for the Europa League in the 10-11 season.

This is also the first time Tottenham has returned to the European competition after 48 years of silence.

That year, Lao Lei was also named the best coach of the Premier League season, becoming the second coach in the history of the Premier League to win the best coach of the year without leading his team to the championship. He was also the first to win this award since the establishment of the award. Honorary English coach.

The best coach of the season is extremely valuable, which is enough to illustrate Lao Lei's status in the Premier League.

The current period is the peak of Lao Lei's coaching. The Tottenham team is very smooth inside and outside, up and down. Although the world-class big names are not as good as the top giants, they are all superstars who can be named. , Tottenham has substantially entered the Lily White Renaissance period from this time on.

And it was Lao Lei who started Tottenham's ZTE.

By this period, Lao Lei's coaching style could already be called a stream-of-consciousness style.

What is stream of consciousness? There is no fixed form and no fixed core.

To put it more deeply, it seems to have a fixed form, but in fact there is no fixed form, but in essence it has a fixed form. It seems to have a fixed core, but in fact there is no fixed core, but in essence it has a fixed core.

Tottenham's starting formation is very simple, that is, 442, but this 442 is not a long pass, nor a defensive counterattack, but a random position, with all free men on the court, but when the opponent thinks it is really a random position, it will It was shocking to find that Tottenham players were running and passing, and they were scoring goals.

Tottenham's current most valuable star is Dutchman Van der Vaart. Old Ray transformed the Dutch striker, winner of the first Golden Boy Award, into a frontcourt free man. This greatly expanded Van der Vaart's role and efficiency, allowing Van der Vaart to Gained the second spring of his career in the Premier League.

But when the opponents thought that Van der Vaart was the core, they discovered that the left back Bell could also score goals, and the number of goals was almost catching up with Van der Vaart. When the opponents thought that Bell was the real core, Mo Dimo Delic just stood in midfield and laughed.
