Godfather of national football

Chapter 591 The old problem of African football

Hernot Roll.

The Nigerian French coach is under a lot of pressure. He lost 0 to 3 to Croatia in the first game, which means that if he loses in the second round, then Henot Rohr is likely to become the first head coach to be dismissed in this World Cup.

African teams have always liked to change coaches. Henot Rohr is still a little worried about his career, but what makes him more worried is that the big names in the Nigerian team are increasingly disobedient to the coach's discipline.

Nigeria took the lead in challenging the authority of the coach with two big names from Chelsea, Mikel in the midfield and Moses in the forward line.

It is well known that African teams have always been disunity. In the last World Cup, Ghanaian players thought that the bonuses and the Football Association had fallen out.

But this time the conflict within the Nigerian team was not because of money, but because of tactical conflicts.

Mikel thinks that Gernot Rohr's set is too rigid, and the fast football in the Premier League is popular now, while Gernot Rohr is still the old style of French football, emphasizing the control of passing the ball and playing the ball very beautifully.

I have to say that the older generation of the French team did play very well. The football of Zidane and Deschamps' generation is indeed nostalgic, but times have changed, and Nigeria now does not have the strength of the golden generation.

This kind of conflict within the team has always been hidden, but today, in the first training session after the loss, the conflict finally broke out.

Facing Mikel's inattentiveness in training, Henot Rohr grabbed him angrily, "I tell you, don't put on Chelsea's stinking airs for me, if you don't want to play, just get out."

Mikel tried to push the coach away, but he didn't. His teammates saw that the two were about to fight, and they all came over to persuade them to fight.

"Calm down, calm down."

Mikel said: "It was the French guy who started it first, I don't know what's crazy."

Musa from Leicester City said: "After losing, everyone is in a bad mood. At this time, we should be more united."

"Unity?" The head coach sneered: "There are some people in the team, can they still be united?"

Everyone knows that the head coach is referring to Moses and Mikel. These two are indeed a bit arrogant.

Moses was not convinced at first, "Coach, can you make it clear, I think the team's loss must not be solely the responsibility of the players."

"Yes, I am also responsible. My responsibility is to recruit you into the national team."

Moussa said: "Can everyone say a word? Anyway, there are still two games, let's finish the game and leave Russia like a fighter, okay?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone thought it was the same. If they can't bear it any longer, it will only be a matter of two games, and then they will just break up.

Henot Roll turned his head and left in a fit of anger, and the training ended unhappy.

*****
We got together at lunch, because there was a quarrel, and everyone felt uncomfortable, especially Mikel and Moses.

Moses whispered to Mikel: "Why don't we ask the head coach to apologize."

"It's useless."

"But we are players after all."

"You don't know, I think he just wants us to be scapegoats, so that he can keep his handsome position."

After all, Moses was young, and he couldn't understand the twists and turns in it.

Mikel then said: "With our current results, it is impossible to qualify for the group stage. Who is to blame then?"

"Who's to blame?"

There was surprise in Mikel's eyes, "You are stupid, of course it is us, he will say that it is our internal strife."

"No way."

"There are too many situations like this, and it happens often in the Premier League."

"Then what should we do?" Moses is still young, and he still wants to participate in the next World Cup, but he can't be cast aside by Nigeria.

Mikel rolled his eyes, "The solution now is that we should act first."

Moses still didn't understand, Mikel said: "You don't have to worry, I will take care of it."

*****
The next day, when Henot Rohr saw a report in the British professional football magazine "442", it can be said that he almost suffered from emphysema.

"Tactically dull, Henot Roll is losing his grip on Nigeria."

Henot Rohr knew that it must have been stabbed by that bastard Mikel, and he immediately rushed to Mikel's room.

"Is this what you leaked to the reporter?"

Mikel turned over, with an innocent look on his face: "Coach, can you stop troubling me all the time, Musa is right, there are still two games, everyone is good to get together and break up."

Maybe it was because Mikel's acting skills were so good that Henot Roll believed it: "You really didn't tell the reporter?"

Mikel raised his right hand, "Do you want me to swear?"

Gernot Rohr didn't believe that swearing was of any use, he thought about it, empty words are empty, even if Mikel is behind the scenes, it is impossible to catch him.

"Okay, you're right, there are only two games left, let's work together."

Henot Rohr suddenly finds himself in a passive position, and has been portrayed as an incompetent character in the media.

The only way now is to play well. As a coach, winning can alleviate all contradictions.

Genot Rohr suddenly smiled at Mikel, Mikel felt nervous, why did the head coach change 180 degrees?

"Coach, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. I think I was too aggressive to you before. It's my fault. The internal affairs of the team should be communicated. What do you think?"

The second monk Mikkel was confused, and said in a daze: "Yes, yes."

"Also, say sorry to Moses for me."

"No, there is nothing to be sorry about, you are the head coach, we should obey."

After Gernot Rohr left, Mikel fell into deep thought. He broke the news to the British media originally to disgust the head coach. What he didn’t expect was that the head coach seemed to be a different person. What does this mean? Is there any conspiracy?

Mikel always thinks that Henot Roll is a scheming villain, unlike him, a simple African boy with no intentions.

Mikel found Moses, "Let me tell you something, the coach even took the initiative to apologize to me today."

Moses seemed to hear something incredible, "How is it possible? He is such a proud person."

"real."

"You'd better be careful. You can't hide what you broke the news to the media. I guess the head coach is thinking of something. Now it's just to stabilize us."

Mikel thought for a while and said, "Maybe we think too much. After all, things on the football field are ultimately resolved by games."

Moses nodded, "Then let's stop making trouble for now."
