Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kung Fu Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kung Fu

In the past two days, the news of Inter's sack of Conte has caused a storm in the city.

Major media have followed up and rushed to report.

The editor of Le Sport dello Sport dug deep into Green's past resume and wrote a 5,000-word article on the front page.

In the article, Green's experience from the player era to the coaching era is detailed.

"Green, whose father immigrated to the UK from Copenhagen, Denmark in 1960, was born in Newcastle, England in 1975, and in 1988, at the age of 13, Greene Jr. joined the Newcastle youth academy, played for Newcastle's first team at the age of 19, played as a left-back, and played 283 games for Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Derby County and Southampton, scoring 18 goals and 20 assists."

"In terms of the national team, he made eight appearances for England Under-19s as a teenager and was not selected for the senior national team."

"In 2008, Green left England for the first time to play for Granada in La B, but unfortunately suffered a serious knee injury in a foreign country, torn cruciate ligament, made only five substitute appearances, and hurriedly retired at the age of 33."

"Since then, Green has passed the UEFA A-level coaching exam, moved to a number of clubs in England, and coached in the youth echelon."

"Tactically, in the early stage, the traditional 442 formation of England was the mainstay, and in the later period, it absorbed the culture of Italy, and was able to switch between three and four defenders, emphasizing the reactionary counterattack on the wing under the premise of solid defense."

"Speaks four languages, fluent in English and Italian, and roughly fluent in Spanish and French."

"In 2014, Green was appointed Manchester United's youth coach and a year later promoted to assistant manager.

"In 2020, Green left Manchester United Under-17s to replace Inter legend Zivo as Inter youth team manager.

"After taking over the team, he led the team 13-2 and started to catch up from fifth place in the youth league standings and now surpasses Fiorentina in first place.

"In terms of the Youth Champions League, the just-concluded semi-finals, two legs against Real Madrid Juniors, 3-1 on aggregate, home and away doubles, led Inter Juniors to the Youth League final again after a year!"

It can be seen that Green has performed very well since coming to Inter's youth team, reversing the tepid situation led by Zivo this season and is heading for the championship.

However, at the end of the article, Milano Sport took a turn and pointed out Green's problems.

"Italian football, which has always been known for its conservatism and isolation, has very few successful foreign coaches here, and the only successful foreign coach in the last two decades is the Portuguese Jose Mourinho. However, after him, the Spanish coach Benitez who took over, but left safely after half a season, and for the next ten years, except for Leonardo, he was an Italian coach. "

Green's coaching resume is a little pale, he has been coaching the youth team for a long time, maybe a good youth coach; But he has never coached the first team, let alone led the first team to any weighty titles.

"Judging from the current situation, the dismissal of Conte and the appointment of Green is a hasty decision made by Marotta on the spur of the moment in order to appease the players and solve the sharp problems thrown by Ye Chen and Barrera and other six at the press conference."

'Green's resume doesn't match the traditional Italian giants like Inter, and Green himself knows that if nothing else, his interim coach will be out at the end of the season.

"When the summer window comes, Marotta should still invite world famous coaches such as Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti to take charge of the big ship of Inter."

A reporter from Turin Sports travelled to Newcastle, England, to visit Green's youth team coach during his time at Newcastle.



The quiet old Newcastles country

coach Morris is 85 years old, his face is full of wrinkles, silver hair, and he looks drowsy.

He sat in the living room of his villa in the countryside, looking kindly at the Italian reporter in front of him.

"Mr Morris, it's a pleasure for you to be interviewed, please talk about your disciple, Green, you were his coach when he was in the youth academy at Newcastle."

Old Morris's eyes were a little dazed, he brought his ear close to the reporter, put his palm to his ear, and shriveled his mouth and snorted: "What force, Gree?" Which Gree?

The Italian reporter thought that his English pronunciation was not standard, and slowly repeated the pronunciation, "It's not Gree, it's Gree-Lin!" Green。 "

Oh..." Old Maurice looked down and pondered for a moment, his eyes lifted, "Klin... I don't remember any of the players I've coached with someone named Kling?

The reporter cried and laughed, and repeated Green several times until the old Morris's wife, trembling on crutches, came out of the kitchen and brought a cup of coffee to the reporter.

"Old man's ears back, you have to say it louder!"

The reporter moved wisely, handed the big head of Green in the mobile phone to the old Morris, "Look, do you know this person?" Old

Morris took the phone, put on reading glasses, and looked at it for a full minute.

"Hey!"

He suddenly shouted.

"Isn't this the crooked Grimm of our team!"

The reporter of "Turin Sports Daily" was stunned, and then a happy expression appeared on his face.

"You recognize Mr. Green?"

"Of course I know, how could I forget this kid," old Maurice laughed and came to the spirit.

He shook the photo of Gran on his mobile phone to reporters, "This guy was famous when he was in U19, and the whole of our team, including the players and coaching staff, called him crooked!" "

Why is he, why is he a crooked man?" The reporter couldn't laugh or cry at the nickname.

"This, hahahaha, I'm angry when I say it." Old Morris held up his gold-rimmed reading glasses and opened the chatterbox.

"This kid debuted that year, playing as a striker, and on the first day in the team, this 19-year-old boy said to me, coach, shooting is my strength, my goal is to become the number one striker in England!"

"As a result, in the first internal training match, this kid can really shoot, more than thirty meters away from the goal, he dares to shoot, it is ridiculously crooked, the shot hit the corner flagpole, and he did it several times!"

"That's it, but once, I was talking to the assistant with my back on the sideline, and a ball hit my head, and I almost didn't faint!"

The elder Morris made an exaggerated forward motion, and if it were not for the reporter's support, he would have almost fallen out of his chair.

"I turned my head and scolded, Who, don't you have eyes?"

"A player smiled badly, pointed at Green and said to me, "Coach, it was Green who shot and burst your head!"

"I was angry and glared at Green, but this kid ran over apologetically and apologized to me, saying that he had volleyed in front of the penalty area just now, exerted too much force, crooked his thigh, and the ball flew to the sideline!"

Old Morris leaned back with a smile, "I was angry at the time, I pointed at his nose and I scolded him, you crooked striker, don't shoot, you give me back to play left-back, from then on, he will go to play defender."

"But this kid was still contentious, and then he played in the Premier League for a few years, I remember?" After that, I don't know, and I retired a few years later.

The reporter of the "Torino Sport newspaper", stunned to hear it, he lifted the recorder, approached the old Morris, and shouted into his ear: "

You know, Ge Lin, now the head coach of Inter Milan!"

The old man now heard clearly.

His face changed suddenly, and his smile instantly converged.

"What? Milan? Italy that Milan!

"Yes, Inter Milan in Italy, not AC Milan, Inter Milan!"

Old Morris raised his trembling hand and took off his gold-rimmed reading glasses.

"Unexpected, just unexpected, after I retired, I didn't pay attention to football for 20 years, and the crooked Green became the head coach of Inter Milan..." His

eyes became serious, an elder look, nodded thoughtfully, and then said to reporters:

"When you go back, you must solemnly tell Green, don't teach Inter's strikers to shoot, otherwise like him, they will become crooked strikers!"
