Xiao Ming made the decision so quickly, not because he wanted to give Old Wood a face, but because he vaguely remembered that when Gary Levin became a full-time physician in the England national team, the one who replaced Arsenal's chief team doctor was his nephew Colin Levin. It would be a pity to let such a talent go. At the same time, if there is such an excellent team doctor in the team, it would be easy to increase the level of other team doctors very quickly. As long as it is strong for the team, Xiao Ming doesn't care about the expenses of an extra team doctor.

The next day, Xiao Ming met Colin Levine. This young man was four years younger than Xiao Ming and had a childish look on his face. However, Xiao Ming did not dare to underestimate such a young man. He always believed that no matter how young a capable person is, he was capable. No matter how old a person is, he was just more experienced. Sometimes, it would be really annoying to compare people.

After taking Levine to visit the club's medical facilities, Levine was also amazed. Over the past year, Leiden Oriental has purchased a lot of medical facilities. Although it is only a League Two club, the various facilities are not worse than super teams like Arsenal.

"Colin, although Leiden East has been established for a long time, he is now a young club." Xiao Ming told Levine: "The chairman of the club, that is, I, is only twenty-five years old, and the head coach of the club - I, is only twenty-five. Most of our players are under 24 years old. So in Leiden East, you will not be troubled by too many rules. What injuries the player has suffered and how much time it takes to rest is all up to you, not me. Even if I really want this player to play, I will only ask you if he is possible, rather than asking you to let him play immediately."

Levin looked at Xiao Ming in surprise. This Chinese boss was really amazing. This was a saying that almost completely subverted the English football tradition.

Because there is a doctor uncle who is involved in the professional football circle, Levin also knows that many traditions in the English football circle. In the traditional British concept, football is a purely male sport. Brave, strong and tough, which is a quality that football players must possess. The strong will not be knocked down by injuries. The injured soldier, even if he is injured at all costs for the victory of the team, the coach considers it a weak phenomenon. Those who are defeated by injuries are at least a weak person during the period when he is healing. Many coaches (including super coaches like Busby and Shankley) also have a superstitious idea, they believe that injuries will spread to the team like plagues to avoid injuries.

The best way is to pretend not to know that the team has injuries. Foreign stars such as DiCanio, Lavanelli, Lauderup Jr. and Brolin have all complained that once they are injured, the coach will ignore them. These outsiders do not understand the British's psychological attitude towards football. For example, the head coach Graham, who just stepped down as soon as possible, is a traditional English head coach. He led Arsenal into a team that uses violent football to the limit and has no viewing ability. He is also amazingly stubborn. Colin Levin heard a short story from his uncle, which well illustrates some of the incredible traditions of English football:

In early 1994, Arsenal captain Tony Adams had a ligament strain on his left leg. After discussing with head coach Graham, Gary Levin informed Adams to rest for four weeks. In fact, Levin felt that six weeks of rest was the right thing to do. Two weeks later, Adams was receiving treatment, and Graham walked in. The famous "Gunner" coach followed Shankley-style tradition. He didn't even look at Adams and asked Levin: "How is Tony's injury recovering?"

Levin replied: "I hope I can recover within two weeks."

Arsenal will soon have an important FA Cup, and the defense is tight at this time, and whether Adams can play is of great importance.

Graham continued, "Ask him if it's possible to play the day after tomorrow."

Levine turned her head and asked, "Tony, can you fight the day after tomorrow?"

Adams, who was an alcoholic at the time, hated Graham's trick the most, even though he thought Graham was his "good friend". Adams said angrily: "Gary, tell the boss that if I had bandage on my entire left leg, I would be able to play."

Levine told the truth. Graham was upset: "Gary, tell Tony who would let him play with a bandage? Should we let everyone know that this is how Arsenal treats injured players?"

Adams became popular, and he ignored these rules and regulations. He sat up and shouted to the head coach: "Hey, this leg is mine. Can't I protect this leg?"

Graham was also a little impulsive. This time he broke the rule of "don't talk to injuries" and stared at Adams and replied word by word: "Tony, listen to me, this leg belongs to Arsenal Football Club!"

Just after this incident, Graham and Adams, two "good friends", began to have a gap. A year later, Graham was dismissed for participating in an improper player transaction. Adams did not help "good friends" at critical moments, and the friendship between the two ended.

Gary Levin later expressed his dissatisfaction with his nephew: "In fact, it should be up to me to decide whether Tony can play, not the head coach."

It is precisely because of hearing about this that Colin Levine was hesitant to accept his uncle's invitation to join Arsenal, because he felt that this tradition made him feel uncomfortable. As a doctor who had just graduated, he felt ridiculous about this superstitious view. If a doctor like him who had been trained for six years in formal physicians had to succumb to such unreasonable rules, he would feel even more ridiculous.

Xiao Ming's words completely dispelled his doubts. It would be very pleasant to do things in such a club, right?

"Colin, if there are any new facilities to be purchased, I will report it directly to me. As long as it is necessary, I will send someone to buy it." Xiao Ming continued to say to Levine: "Players are the club's most precious wealth, so any means are necessary. I am not a short-sighted person and will not ruin a player's future career for a game. Although this situation is rare, it will be a huge blow to any player."

"As you wish, boss." Levin began to respect the boss in front of him who was not a few years older than him. After all, in the English football world, there are really not many bosses or head coaches who value medical equipment and the physical health of the players. At the same time, Xiao Ming's attitude towards Levin also made him feel very comfortable - anyone wants to be respected by others.

From this day on, the well-known medical team in Leiden Oriental began to have a preliminary prototype. From then on, the players who played in Leiden Oriental were rarely troubled by injuries, and they would not waste their great youth because of wrong treatment like their unfortunate predecessors...

Before we knew it, it had been a month since the Premier League started. In this month, Leiden Oriental played nine games, with an amazing nine consecutive victories! The league won all seven games, and the first two rounds of the League Cup also won the game, and the limelight was in no way.

As a newly promoted team, it is indeed a matter of great importance to achieve such results. However, after all, Leiden Oriental is only in the League Two. With all his eyes focused on the Premier League, Leiden Oriental's performance is just a splash of water in the sea, which is not enough to cause too much ripples.

In this month's game, the six foreign players of Leiden East performed extremely well. Anyone who had watched the ball on the spot knew how important these foreign players who occupied half of the main lineup were to Leiden East. Leiden East's tactics were very simple, which was to launch an attack with two wings, grab the points in the middle and keep up with the backcourt players. Jinklaze, Pobosky, Jankoler, Solskjaer and Barak were the entire offensive lines of Leiden East. So far, nine battles and nine wins are invincible.

At the same time, as they have more games and more tacit cooperation, Leiden Oriental is indeed not a team that can be accommodated in the English League Two...

"It's a pity that no matter how strong we are, we have to continue to fight year by year." Xiao Ming sighed: "If Leiden East had made a unique contribution to the development of its own football like Fiorentina, it might be able to jump to the next level in vain? However, the English Football Association probably wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, Leiden East would not be able to push up for a hundred years, and there would be no results that could be achieved. Why would the FA look at it differently?"

A club ultimately depends on its results. Why did Manchester United become the most successful club after the establishment of the Premier League, with the most revenue and no deficit every year? In addition to various factors, it is also because of their good results. Taking a step back, if the youth guard Leeds United in the future can enter the Champions League for several consecutive seasons and get enough share in the Champions League, the consequences will not be so miserable, right?

Money, money, everything is there, but now all his funds have been invested in Microsoft's stocks. This is the most labor-saving way to make money. The most important thing is that Xiao Ming has fallen in love with the feeling of being a head coach, and a person's energy is limited. If you want to do better in the position of a head coach, you will definitely not be able to work hard in the stock market as wholeheartedly as before. In the past life, he had already enjoyed the pleasure of starting from scratch. In this life, Xiao Ming wants to taste the taste of being a coach.

By about 1998 or 1999, Xiao Ming's net worth would probably increase to around 100 million pounds. At that time, he was a good boss in the Premier League, right? Before that, what Xiao Ming had to do was to try to improve the position of Leiden East a little, and this was the right way.

Abraham made Chelsea the Premier League champion after two years. That is because Chelsea had already had a prominent reputation and excellent record in the Bates era. If you spend money on first-class players, they are willing to come. Unlike Manchester City in later generations, even if they have money, it is difficult to find a top-notch superstar. Let Abraham try investing in Leiden Oriental? You can't let Leiden Oriental become a super strong team overnight.

The next game for Leiden Oriental is the second round of the League Cup. Leiden Oriental's luck this season is obviously not as good as last season. They met a Premier League team in the second round - West Ham United, which is only two blocks away from Brisbane Road at home.

When he saw that his opponent was West Ham United, Xiao Ming complained in his heart that he was not lucky, but when he went to the training ground the next day, he found that the stadium was filled with more passion than usual.

"What's wrong today?" Xiao Ming asked MacDonald strangely.

McDonald looked at Xiao Ming with a stranger expression: "Our opponent in the second round of the League Cup is West Ham United! Boss, don't you know?"

"I know, but what does it matter? It's just a Premier League team. We all played last season..." Xiao Ming continued to wonder.

McDonald looked at Xiao Ming with an expression of looking at the aliens: "Don't you know? West Ham United is the mortal enemy of Leiden East! What is the most exciting thing on the football field? It's not against strong players, but against the mortal enemy of the same city! Just like Tottenham and Arsenal!"

Xiao Ming Khan, this is a huge flaw. Xiao Ming would definitely know this before, because the supporters of a team may not know anything else, but they should definitely know who the mortal enemy of the team they support is! But now Xiao Ming does not have this feeling at all...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming immediately patted his forehead: "Oh, it seems that I drank too much last night... I am still confused in my mind now, and I don't know if it was the sequelae left by that bastard Sawyer's attack... How could I not know? Our biggest mortal enemy is West Ham United! It's best to meet them in the League Cup, so that our players will forget who our mortal enemy is!"

McDonald nodded with understanding: "No wonder, Xiao, although West Ham United has always been our mortal enemy, we have rarely encountered them for several years... The 92-93 season was the closest we were with them. That time we almost entered the League One, but they were relegated from the Premier League... This time we met, we must let the guys in Newham not forget that there is also a Leiden East in Walthamsto!"

Looking at McDonald waving his fists and looking at the players on the training ground's more enthusiastic than usual, Xiao Ming suddenly felt that maybe he still lacked something...

Although I understand the prospects of football development in the next ten years, although there are countless superstars in my belly who have not been discovered, and although I may use my advanced consciousness to achieve great success, maybe I don’t understand the essence of football... Is football really just football developed to this point?

That represents the honor of a neighborhood, a city, or even a class!

Why was Manchester City able to beat the arrogant Manchester United 3-1 at home in the year when they returned to the Premier League? Is it because they have better than Manchester United? Obviously it is impossible! What motivates them is just the word "derby"? It also includes the hatred that has been opposed for countless years.

This feeling suddenly emerged in Xiao Ming's heart. Although he was an old fan in his previous life, he never focused on a team. He only looked at the best and only admired the strongest. But at this time, he seemed to begin to feel that his view of football might be wrong.
