"Charlie, are you kidding me?" Hearing the name the old man said, George felt dizzy and thought that his luck was too good. He had just obtained Paraty from Marotta. He heard the news about the two future strongmen of Qi and Allegri, but now he heard Tuchel's name from Charlie's mouth again, "Are you sure that the German is really called Thomas Tuchel?"
"Hey, boy George, are you questioning my memory?" Hearing George's question, Charlie shouted toward the microphone dissatisfied, "Don't look at me now. I'm sixty-two years old. When it comes to memory, I can't. No worse than you young people!"
"Charlie, judging from the fact that you only remember Tuchel's name now, alcohol has indeed caused a lot of impact and damage to your memory." Facing the old man who was strongly expressing his dissatisfaction, George silenced the other party instantly with just one sentence, "If you are not convinced, now tell me the names of two other young people besides Tuchel who you think have great potential, and I will believe you." There is nothing wrong with your memory."
"This is a piece of cake. Boy George, just wait, I will remember a dozen names for you right away!" As George expected, after hearing what he said, he was eager to prove his Old Charlie immediately jumped into the pit. However, not long after, old Charlie's slightly embarrassed voice came from George's mobile phone: "You're lucky! It seems that I really drank a little too much... Oh, as expected, I'm still old and can't I can drink as freely as before without affecting my work."
"So I said, Charlie, when you become my assistant coach, stop drinking like this. Such a life wizard." Listening to the other party's emotion on the phone, George once again persuaded, "I think, Charlie, you should You don’t want to see that when your data analysis theory is finally widely accepted by the British football community, you, the founder, end up in bed or even die early due to excessive alcoholism, so you can’t witness this grand event with your own eyes, right?”
As Charles Ripp's former partner in football data analysis, the 62-year-old Charlie Johnson also has his own ideal, which is to introduce data analysis into football and use his skills in data analysis to The theories summarized in it were carried forward like Charles Ripp. At the same time, old Charlie was still secretly looking forward to the day when he could reverse the misunderstanding brought to the British football world by Charles Ripp's data analysis theory, and no longer blindly believe in long passes!
(Note: Charles Ripp, a former Royal Air Force lieutenant colonel, was the originator of applying data analysis to football. From March 1950, he began to compile the data book for the first game. By the mid-1990s, Ripp Pu has completed data sampling and analysis of more than 2,200 games, taking more than 80 hours for each game. The theory he derived from the analysis of football game data played a decisive role in the formation of English football's long pass and lob play. effect.)
You know, old Charlie was forced to travel around the European continent to make a living by being driven out of the British football world by the latter using his strong influence just because he came to different conclusions on data analysis. My heart has always been full of dissatisfaction and resentment.
It is precisely because he knows the abilities and past of old Charlie, his old friend, that George is so attentive and does not hesitate to use various means, even bringing up the past when Charles Ripp was expelled from the British football world due to differences in ideas. , hoping to make the other party quit the bad habit of drinking.
"Well, for the sake of my ideal, it seems that I really have to give up drinking completely this time." After hearing George mention his former ideal, old Charlie, who was already a little drunk, immediately sobered up. He learned a lot and assured George on the phone, "Boy... no, don't worry, boss. I will never show up again before I see my theory spread all over the world like Total Offensive and Total Defense." Today’s situation was caused by drunkenness. Also, can you do me a small favor?”
"I didn't expect that you, an old stubborn man, would actually ask for help. When I mentioned these words to you before, you always rejected me... Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? Do you want me to transfer Charles Lee to you? Are you going to drive that old stubborn Prince out of the UK, or are you planning to run for prime minister?" George was very relieved about the promise made by Charlie, and had no worries that the other party would go back on his word or engage in any treacherous tricks.
George knew very well that Charlie Johnson was a man of his word. Such a person will not easily promise anything to others, but once he makes a promise, he will definitely stick to it until the promise is fulfilled.
"Don't be stupid. It's a personal grudge between me and Charles. How can I ask your kid to help? Besides, if I let your kid take action, then I don't have to stay abroad for so many years." Old Charlie, who had recovered from his drunken state, took the microphone, smiled and shook his head, seeming to lament George's youth and impulsiveness, "I would like to ask you to leave me a few positions on the Tottenham coaching staff. So that I can bring a few little guys that I am very optimistic about. Although I can’t remember their names except Tuchel now... But believe me, this matter is absolutely important to you and Tottenham. It’s beneficial and harmless.”
"Haha, Charlie, of course there is no problem with this little thing. Of course, Charlie, you know, even the people you recommend will have to follow the rules I set when they arrive at Tottenham. So, if any of them are like Best Or a guy like Gazza who relies on his talent and is arrogant and resolutely disobeys discipline, then I can only apologize to you here in advance."
"Of course I understand this... Don't worry, the guys I brought here are all good guys. There are no thorns in the side. This kind of thing will never happen. The only problem is that these little guys may be a little more ambitious. Once They feel that their wings are full, so it is only a matter of time before they leave the team."
"Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. Everyone has ambitions. I just hope that these people have enough ability to match their ambitions... Then let's talk about this today. The specific details will wait for you, Charlie. Let's discuss it after we get to London." After agreeing to the matter and saying goodbye to Charlie on the phone, George pressed the hangup button and began to secretly look forward to it, wanting to see what happened to Charlie. What kind of surprise will it bring him.
Could it be that besides Tuchel, Charlie has also met other future famous coaches and plans to bring them to White Hart Lane? As soon as this idea flashed across his mind, it was driven out of George's mind. After all, if Charlie can so easily meet so many future famous coaches after traveling in Europe for several years and persuade them to join Tottenham, then George will have to wonder who is the protagonist of this book.
So, three days later, at London Heathrow International Airport, George, who personally went to the airport to pick up the plane, saw Charlie Johnson who had returned to the UK after several years. After seeing him, he quickly stepped forward and gave the old man a hug. A solid hug: "Hey, Charlie, long time no see. Speaking of which, you haven't been back here for several years, right?"
"It's been five years." Recalling that five years ago, Charles Ripp took the opportunity to launch a public opinion offensive and was kicked out of the British football world because he publicly criticized the tactics of the national team coach Hoddle, and finally left the UK sadly to travel on the European continent. Looking back at the past, Charlie, who was already in his sixties, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Without your invitation, George, even if I wanted to continue my career here, I would have to wait a few more years."
"In this case, Charlie, you should also know how that old guy Rip buried my decision in the past two days after he announced that you would be hired as an assistant coach." After saying that, George let go gently. Charlie ended the hug with the other party, "So, let me first wish you that you will achieve outstanding results in Tottenham."
"Of course." Glancing at George walking in front, old Charlie had a confident smile on his face, "Believe me, asking me to be your assistant coach is definitely the best thing you've done in your head coaching career, George. The wisest decision ever!"
