Chapter 258
The truth is that the … The entire report was actually about a scandal that happened in the Premier League team “Blue Fox” Leicester City!
Three Leicester City youth team players, while training with the team in Thailand, filmed an indecent video of having a party with Thai women in a hotel room.
Moreover, in the video, the three players were very dirty and repeatedly involved racial discrimination.
Somehow, this video was leaked and came to the editor of the Daily Mirror.
As the world’s first tabloid, the Daily Mirror has always been mainly reporting entertainment news, gossip, scandals, etc.
Although it has been beaten by its competitor The Sun in recent years.
However, their sense of smell and tentacles for news are extremely keen.
And this time, they seized this precious opportunity and did not hesitate to make an exclusive report!
With millions of copies of the Daily Mirror delivered to readers, this scandal in British football immediately caused an uproar!
The British people are not unfamiliar with Leicester City, which has just raised the banner of offensive football in the Premier League.
They knew that this was a newly promoted team that had just returned to the Premier League last season. The team had Ling Feng, the first European Golden Boy after Rooney and the most outstanding super talent in England, and Vardy, the “inspirational brother” who worked his way from the fifth-level league to the Premier League and the national team.
Apart from that, they did not have a deep impression of this team.
Now, with the outbreak of this scandal, most football fans or non-fans in the country know the name of the Leicester City team.
On the day the report came out, Ling Feng, who was in Thailand or far away in the Czech Republic, received this explosive news.
Originally, there were many scandals in the football world.
Premier League players are a high-risk group for various scandals.
After all, they are young, but they hold the highest salary in the UK.
People have not read two books, and their cultural and moral levels are average. Naturally, they are prone to pleasure and are corrupted by decadent material life.
Especially in the Premier League where paparazzi are omnipresent, what kind of friend’s wife, brother’s wife, and prostitutes are not surprising.
If the scandal happened to players from other teams, Ling Feng might treat it as a topic of conversation after dinner like many people who eat melons.
However, when the scandal happened to the team he played for, it was not so
It is worth mentioning that when he opened his social media account, he found that all the comments under his posts were thankful that he was not in Thailand:
“Fortunately you didn’t go to Thailand!”
“Thank you Miss Parvin!”
Seeing these comments from fans, Ling Feng felt that the fans cared about him and felt warm in his heart; on the other hand, he was also a little amused.
Let’s not talk about whether he likes Thai girls.
Just because he has a supermodel girlfriend like Barbara with an angel face and a devil figure, he wouldn’t do such a thing.
The key is that this scandal came too suddenly, which caught him off guard!
In later life, although Ling Feng knew about the Blue Fox miracle that shocked the football world, he also met players such as Vardy, Mahrez, and Kante.
However, he also knew a little about the Blue Fox before the miracle happened.
Originally, he was puzzled as to why Pearson, who led the team well, was dismissed and then replaced by the “tinker” Ranieri.
Especially with his presence and the team’s outstanding performance, it was even more impossible for the club to 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, the whole incident would definitely be easier to handle.
But the most important thing is
What’s more, James Pearson, one of the three youth team players, is the son of the team coach Nigel Pearson!
Could it be that this scandal is the real reason why Pearson was fired and Ranieri took over? !
Thinking of this, Ling Feng began to think.
What impact will this scandal have on himself and the team?
First of all, if Pearson is fired, what are the advantages or disadvantages for him?
If 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 position in the team at all.
Because no matter which head coach Leicester City changes to, he will be the tactical core of the team.
He has such strength!
He also has such confidence! !
Therefore, whether Pearson is fired or not, he is still the strongest player in Leicester City that can be relied on.
Although compared with other famous coaches, Pearson is indeed much worse in ability.
Especially in terms of on-the-spot command, there is basically no on-the-spot command.
His tactics are mainly to make Ling Feng play as comfortably as possible, and then lead the team to victory with Ling Feng’s offensive talent.
However, Pearson has always been very good to him and thinks highly of him.
When he was still young, he regarded himself as the absolute core of the team against all odds, giving him great tactical freedom.
It can be said that a large part of his current success is due to Pearson.
So, if possible, Ling Feng certainly does not want Pearson to be fired!
Besides, as long as the team lineup is similar, whether the coach is Pearson or Ranieri, he is fully confident that he can lead 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 running-in for a year and a half, and impact the championship!
So, after careful consideration, Ling Feng decided to use his position and influence in the team to prevent the club from firing Pearson.
So, he called his agent Mendes and told him his idea.
However, after hearing Ling Feng’s idea, Mendes expressed a different view:
“Although we can put pressure on the club by renewing the contract. However, I strongly advise you not to do this.”
“Why?”
Faced with Ling Feng’s doubts, Mendes also analyzed it carefully.
First of all, Ling Feng is a player, not a club manager.
As a player of the club, he can have different opinions on the team’s head coach and tactics, and can also question the head coach’s tactics and use of people.
However, he cannot say it in front of the media or on social media.
Because doing so is equivalent to challenging the authority of the head coach, and it is also equivalent to challenging the authority of the club’s top management!
In this way, the outside world will only think that he is an uncontrollable thorn.
This is common sense and unspoken rules in professional football.
Of course, it is even more taboo for players to interfere with the operation of the club!
Let alone whether there is great power there, just this idea should not be.
If the club is dissatisfied with his interference in club affairs by renewing the contract and exposes it to the media, then Ling Feng’s image will become a player who dictates club affairs!
You know, almost all teams will not let a player override the entire team!
Even Real Madrid and Barcelona, which have Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, will not consider the relationship between the head coach and the team’s star players too much when changing coaches.
Because even Mr. Ballon d’Or has to listen to the arrangements of the head coach and the club!
When selecting a coach, the club considers whether the head coach meets the requirements of the team and whether he can lead the team to make progress or not.
And the head coach is not the nanny of the star, and will not build the team just considering the mood of a star.
Of course, with Ling Feng’s current position in Leicester City, 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 commodities of the club, and their mission is to play football seriously.
As for any affairs of the club, naturally someone will handle it, and it is not his turn as a player to care about it.
Once the relationship with the club becomes strained because of this matter, it will definitely have a great impact on Ling Feng’s future career planning.
After listening to Mendes’ analysis, Ling Feng gradually felt that his ideas were a bit too naive.
However, he did not think that his ideas were wrong, but he felt that his reputation and fame were not enough for the club to pay attention to 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 player of a club, he can’t interfere too much in the club’s decision, and can only wait and see.
. . .
After the scandal was exposed, the team owner Vichai was naturally the most angry person.
He never thought that he had invited the team to travel to his territory with good intentions, but this happened!
This is simply ruining the image and reputation of himself and the travel group behind him!
So, at Vichai’s order, the club’s top management quickly held an internal meeting to investigate and deal with it.
Until that night, the club immediately made a preliminary handling:
Immediately expel the three players involved and terminate the contract!
And expelling the three parties 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 was placed in front of the club owner and top management:
Should Pearson be punished? !
Normally, the son’s mistakes, even if they have nothing to do with his father directly, are still related.
Moreover, the reason why James Pearson, a youth team player, can follow the first team to Thailand for tourism and training is also an invisible benefit of Pearson as the team coach.
However, as the team’s meritorious coach, Pearson led the team to win the Championship League and FA Cup in just two years, and led the team to the top six of the Premier League and the quarterfinals of the Europa League for the first time in history!
With such outstanding results, he can be called the best coach in the history of the Foxes.
Moreover, as a mentor who discovered and gave great trust to Ling Feng, Pearson can definitely be called Ling Feng’s Bole.
Therefore, they also need to consider Ling Feng’s feelings.
If Pearson is fired, will the team’s star player Ling Feng be dissatisfied with the club and seek a transfer?
Once Ling Feng intends to leave, other main players who originally wanted to renew their contracts to stay in the team are likely to flee with him!
Because, without Ling Feng, Leicester City’s competitiveness in the Premier League will inevitably decline significantly.
As Mendes guessed, the club struggled for several days on the issue of punishing head coach Pearson.
Until July 1st.
In the semi-finals, Ling Feng led England to a 3-0 victory over Denmark and advanced to the final of this year’s European Youth Championship in the Czech Republic.
And the final is today!
However, Ling Feng’s mind is not on the European Youth Championship at all.
Because, when he got up in the morning, he received a message as soon as possible:
After careful consideration, Leicester City Club and head coach Nigel Pearson communicated and negotiated, and the two sides decided to break up peacefully!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention from the media.
A peaceful breakup sounds good.
However, everyone knows that Pearson’s dismissal was implicated by 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 blast the club’s management.
He believes that the club’s decision was very stupid and a huge mistake.
He believes that Pearson has led the team to excellent results and has made unparalleled contributions to the club.
The team should even build a statue for him outside the stadium.
Now, he was dismissed for a fault that was not his own, which is very absurd!
Many media people, football reporters and most of the Blue Fox fans are all dissatisfied with Lineker, and have flocked to the club’s official website to deal with the club.
In the eyes of all fans, everyone is wrong.
What’s more, this is not a scandal of Pearson himself, but a scandal of his son.
Moreover, Pearson has such a good record in leading the team and has a very high status among the fans. It is really unacceptable that the club’s top management treats the best coach in the team’s history so ruthlessly!
Although Ling Feng also thinks that Lineker is right, he can’t agree more in his heart.
However, the club has no say.
In his opinion, although this matter has caused a lot of trouble and there are also many controversies surrounding Pearson.
However, as the team’s meritorious coach, shouldn’t the club stand firmly behind him and give him a break?
Fine him a little or treat him coldly for a while, and when the storm has passed, 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
It’s not that simple.
This scandal is not only spreading in England, but also in Thailand.
It affects not only the tourism group behind Vichai, but also the image of the entire country of Thailand!
It is said that someone from above put pressure on Vichai, so he had to fire Pearson to put an end to the whole scandal.
Ling Feng, who was far away in the Czech Republic, was powerless to do anything about it.
He could only curse Pearson’s son in his heart:
Damn!
What a pitfall!
