Chapter 258 Team Scandal! What a scam!
June 26th is the day after the third round of the European Youth Championship group stage ends.
The "Daily Mirror" dropped a bombshell on the entire British Peninsula!
"Blue Fox Scandal!"
Along with such an eye-catching short title, the cover of the "Daily Mirror" was immediately accompanied by two very large photos.
Those are two photos taken from the video.
In the photo, three shirtless men are lying on a hotel bed, smiling evilly at the camera.
Although the lower bodies of the three people are covered in mosaics.
But judging from the blur of the mosaic, you can tell that the three of them were not wearing pants, and someone was sucking them off.
The entire report actually reports on a scandal that occurred in the Premier League team "Blue Fox" Leicester City!
Three Leicester City youth team players filmed indecent videos of having sex with Thai women in a hotel room while training with the team in Thailand.
Moreover, in the video, the three players' mouths were very unclean and they used racially slurs many times.
Somehow this video was leaked and found its way into the hands of the editor of the Daily Mirror.
As the world's first tabloid, the Daily Mirror has always focused on reporting entertainment news, gossip, scandals, etc.
Although it has been beaten badly by its competitor "The Sun" in recent years.
However, their sense of smell and tentacles for news are extremely keen.
But this time, they seized this precious opportunity and made exclusive reports without hesitation!
As millions of copies of the "Daily Mirror" were delivered to readers, this scandal in British football suddenly caused an uproar!
The British people are no stranger to Leicester City, which has just held high the banner of offensive football in the Premier League.
They know that this is a newly promoted team that just returned to the Premier League last season. The team has Ling Feng, the first European golden boy after Rooney and the most outstanding super talent in England, as well as players from the fifth level. Vardy, the "inspirational brother" who has worked hard all the way to the Premier League and the national team.
Other than that, they were not very impressed with this team.
Now, with the explosion of this scandal, most fans or non-fans who follow football across the country know the name of the Leicester City team
The report is released On the same day, Ling Feng, both in Thailand and as far away as the Czech Republic, received this exciting news.
Originally, there are many scandals in football.
Premier League players are a high-risk group for various scandals.
After all, he is young but holds the highest salary package in the UK.
People who have not read two books and whose cultural and moral standards are average are naturally prone to greed for pleasure and to be corrupted by the corrupt material life.
Especially in the Premier League, where paparazzi are everywhere, it is not surprising that there is a family of friends with wives, a family of sisters-in-law, and a family of soliciting prostitutes.
If the scandal happened to players of other teams, Ling Feng would probably treat it as a piece of gossip, like many people who eat football.
However, when a scandal happens to the team you play for, it is not so
It is worth mentioning that when he opened his social media account, he found that under his posts, there were all kinds of comments saying that he was glad that he was not in Thailand:
“Luckily you didn’t go to Thailand!”
"Thank you Miss Palvin!"
Seeing the comments from these fans, Ling Feng felt that the fans cared about him very much and felt warm in his heart; on the other hand, he also felt a little bit dumbfounded.
Let’s not talk about whether I like Thai girls or not.
Just because I have a girlfriend like Barbara, a supermodel with an angelic face and a devilish figure, I wouldn't be able to do something like this.
The key is that this scandal came so suddenly that he was caught off guard!
In later generations, although Ling Feng had some understanding of the Blue Fox miracle that shocked the football world, he also got to know players such as Vardy, Mahrez, and Kante.
However, he also knew little about the blue fox before the miracle happened.
Originally, he was a little puzzled as to why Pearson, who had led the team well, dismissed get out of class and then "tinker" Ranieri took over.
Especially with his own appearance, the team's record is shining brightly, and it is even less likely that the club will suddenly fire Pearson.
Until this scandal was exposed, Ling Feng suddenly realized it!
If the protagonists of the scandal were just three ordinary youth team players, then the whole incident would definitely be easier to handle.
But the most terrible thing is that one of the three youth team players, James Pearson, is the son of the team coach Nigel Pearson!
Could it be that this scandal was the real reason why Pearson was dismissed and Ranieri took over? !
Thinking of this, Ling Feng began to think.
What impact will this scandal have on myself and the team?
First of all, what are the advantages or disadvantages to yourself if Pearson is fired.
When Pearson is fired, the team will inevitably change coaches, and the team's tactics will also change accordingly.
However, Ling Feng is not worried about his status in the team at all.
Because no matter which head coach Leicester City changes to, he will be the core of the team's tactics.
He has such strength!
I also have such confidence! !
So, whether Pearson is dismissed or not, he is still the most reliable player in Leicester City's formation.
Although compared to other famous coaches, Pearson is indeed far behind in ability.
Especially in terms of on-the-spot command, there is basically no such thing.
His tactics are mainly to make Ling Feng play as comfortable as possible, rely on Ling Feng's offensive talent, and then lead the team to win.
However, Pearson has always been very kind to himself and values himself very much.
When he was still inexperienced, he defied all opinions and regarded himself as the absolute core of the team, giving him great tactical freedom.
It can be said that a large part of his current success is due to Pearson.
Therefore, if possible, Ling Feng certainly does not want Pearson to dismiss get out of class!
Besides, as long as the team lineup is similar, no matter whether the coach is Pearson or Ranieri, he is fully confident in leading Leicester City to win the Premier League championship next season.
In this case, instead of re-establishing a relationship with Ranieri, whose name he has only heard of, it is better to continue to fight side by side with Pearson, who has been working together for a year and a half, and fight for the championship!
So, after careful consideration, Ling Feng decided to use his position and influence on the team to prevent the club from firing Pearson.
So, he called his agent Mendes and put forward his idea to him.
However, after hearing Ling Feng’s thoughts, Mendes expressed a different view:
“Although we can put pressure on the club by renewing the contract. However, I strongly do not recommend that you do this. Do it.”
“Why?”
Faced with Ling Feng’s doubts, Mendes also analyzed it carefully.
First of all, Ling Feng is a player, not the club management.
As a player of the club, he can have different opinions on the team's head coach and tactics, and he can also question the head coach's tactics and hiring.
However, he cannot say it openly in front of the media or on social media.
Because doing so is equivalent to challenging the authority of the head coach and the authority of the club’s senior management! This will only make the outside world think that he is an uncontrollable thorn.
This is common sense and unspoken rules in professional football.
Of course, it’s even more taboo for players to interfere in the club’s operations!
Let’s not talk about whether there is a lot of energy there, just this idea should not be used.
If the club is dissatisfied with his interference in club affairs by renewing his contract and is exposed to the media, then Ling Feng's image will become a player who dictates club affairs!
You know, almost all teams will not let one player dominate the entire team!
Even Real Madrid and Barcelona, which have Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, do not give too much thought to the relationship between the head coach and the team's leading star when changing coaches.
Because, even Mr. Golden Ball must obey the arrangements of the head coach and the club!
In terms of the club's evaluation when selecting a coach, whether the head coach meets the team's requirements and whether he can lead the team to make progress or not.
The head coach is not the nanny of the star. He will not build the team just considering the mood of a star.
Of course, with Ling Feng's current status in the Leicester City team, the club may consider his feelings when changing coaches.
However, once he shows even a little bit of interference, the club owner and senior management will be dissatisfied with him!
Players are the club's commodities, and their task is to play football seriously.
As for any affairs of the club, someone will naturally handle it, and it is not his turn as a player to care about it.
Once there is a stalemate in the relationship with the club due to this matter, it will definitely have a great impact on Ling Feng’s future career planning.
After listening to Mendes’ analysis , Ling Feng also gradually felt that his ideas were a bit too naive.
However, he does not think his idea is wrong, he just feels that his reputation and fame are not enough for the club to value his opinions.
After all, Manchester United can give up Mourinho for Pogba, Paris can give up Neymar and Messi for Mbappe, and Ling Feng can do the same!
In any case, as a club player, he cannot interfere too much in the club's decisions and can only wait and see what happens.
. . .
After the scandal was exposed, team owner Vichai was naturally the most angry person.
He never imagined that after he kindly invited the team to travel to his territory, this would happen!
This is simply ruining the image and reputation of yourself and the tourism group behind you!
So, under Vichai's order, the club's top management quickly held an internal meeting to investigate and handle the matter.
Until that night, the club immediately made preliminary measures:
Immediately fire the three players involved and terminate their contracts!
Firing the three parties involved is only the first step.
Considering the father-son relationship between one of the people involved and the team's head coach, a serious question posed before the club's owners and senior executives:
Should Pearson be punished? !
Normally speaking, even if the son’s mistakes have no direct relationship with his father, they cannot be separated from them.
Furthermore, the reason why James Pearson, a youth team player, can follow the first team to travel and train in Thailand is also an invisible benefit for Pearson as the team coach.
However, as the team's meritorious coach, Pearson led the team to win the English Championship and FA Cup in just two years, and led the team to a historic victory. Entering the top six of the Premier League and the top eight of the Europa League!
With such outstanding results, he can be regarded as the best coach in the history of the Blue Fox team.
Moreover, as the mentor who discovered and gave great trust to Ling Feng, Pearson can definitely be called Ling Feng’s mentor.
Therefore, they also need to consider Ling Feng’s feelings.
If Pearson is fired, will the team's star Ling Fengfeng become dissatisfied with the club and seek a transfer?
Once Ling Feng plans to leave, other main players who want to renew their contracts and stay with the team will most likely flee!
Because without Ling Feng, Leicester City's competitiveness in the Premier League will inevitably decline sharply.
As Mendes guessed, the club struggled for several days on the issue of punishing head coach Pearson.
Until July 1st.
In the previous semi-finals, Ling Feng led England to a 3-0 victory over Denmark and advanced to the finals of this Czech European Youth Championship.
The final is today!
However, Ling Feng's thoughts were not at all on the European Youth Championship.
Because, when he woke up in the morning, he received a piece of news immediately:
After careful consideration, Leicester City Club is negotiating with head coach Nigel Pearson. After communication and negotiation, both parties decided to break up peacefully!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted widespread media attention.
Breaking up peacefully sounds good.
However, everyone knows that Pearson's dismissal was implicated in his son's scandal.
Subsequently, Leicester City announced on its official website that coaching staff members Craig Shakespeare and Steve Walsh will temporarily take over the team until a suitable successor is found.
As for Pearson's dismissal, Leicester City's honorary vice-chairman and team legend Lineker immediately tweeted to attack the club's management.
He believes that the club made this decision very stupidly and it was a huge mistake.
He believes that Pearson has performed extremely well in leading the team and has made unparalleled contributions to the club.
The team should even build a statue of him outside the stadium.
Today, I am dismissed from get out of class because of a mistake I did not make. It is very absurd!
Many media people, football reporters and most Blue Fox fans are concerned about Lineker and have flocked to the club's official website to deal with the club
In the eyes of all fans , no one has any fault.
What's more, this is not a scandal about Pearson himself, just a scandal about his son.
Moreover, Pearson has led the team so well and has a very high status among the fans. It is really unacceptable for the club's senior management to treat the best coach in team history so ruthlessly!
Although Ling Feng also felt that Lineker was right, he couldn't agree more in his heart.
However, he has no say in the club.
In his opinion, although this incident was very big, the controversy surrounding Pearson was also very big.
However, as the team's meritorious coach, shouldn't the club stand firmly behind him and be open to him?
Fine him a little or give him a cold treatment for a period of time. When the limelight passes, no one will pay attention to this matter.
However, it was not until the Daily Mirror broke the news that Ling Feng realized that this matter was not that simple.
This scandal is fermenting not only in England, but also in Thailand.
It is not only the tourism group behind Vichai that is affected, but also the image of the entire Thai country!
It is said that someone from above put pressure on Vichai, who had no choice but to fire Pearson, in order to bring an end to the entire scandal.
Ling Feng, who was far away in the Czech Republic, was unable to do anything about it.
He could only scold Pearson's son in his heart:
Mudd!
What a cheating thing!
