Volume 4 The Storm Chapter 5 Guest Commentator
Half a week after the Donnes arrived in Germany, the much-anticipated World Cup in Germany finally began.
Except for the two rooms next door to the same hotel, Don and Don don't act together most of the time, whether it's eating or traveling, they are separate. Don acts with the BBc locals, and Don is alone. They don't work in the same way.
Donn has to travel to various cities with the BBc5 landers because of his contract, mainly as a guest commentator for the England national team's local games. In addition to the Mortensen commentator, there is also former England captain and England's best striker of the decade. Shearer.
Of course, Donn was familiar with this legend of English football, but at that time it was this man who was on the pitch. Sitting in the broadcast room like this and commenting on the game together still gives Donn a very special feeling.
Don acted alone and did not follow the televised plan. He mainly plays in the underdogs of England, especially the underdogs. He hopes to dig up the pearls and rough stones that Donn needs from within, and he doesn't yet know what Forest's transfer budget will be for the new season, so he can only start with the most affordable candidates.
Don fully believes in Don's vision and ability to see people. After all, there is only one George who is really cultivated by his own level in his reign. Wood, and Michael. Dose, Andy. Reed's outstanding players his age were all nurtured by Don.
Donn believes that he must not be a scout or an assistant coach or a youth team coach to make himself play on the stage. It's not about digging and cultivating new talents, but about leading a team to the championship. Don can complement him well, his almost nitpicky attention to detail will make him a very good assistant, and when the time comes, he will be responsible for the specific operations of the team's daily training, and Don will only be responsible for formulating the general direction and route. The two of them work together to get the best out of their respective areas of expertise.
BBc5 invited Donn to be a special commentator for this World Cup, perhaps more important than his current popularity. Because of the continuous occurrence of events that have been hyped by the news media. This season as the head coach of football, Tony . Don can be described as red and purple. And this star-like situation. After the UEFA Champions Cup final reached a peak. After the game, he publicly criticized the referee for being stupid and brainless, and embarrassed UEFA in public at the award ceremony, so that the heads of the powerful forces in European football could not get off the stage.
Since BBc5 announced that it would invite Don to be a guest commentator during the World Cup, it has attracted the attention of other major media. Before Don even started working, he had already caught enough eyeballs for his temporary owner.
People are expecting the England homegrown character coach to be in the course of his first electrocution TV commentary. and John, who is famous for his commentary. What sparks Morteson sparked.
"I didn't expect us to work together in such a way." At the World Cup site in Germany, Mortensen took the initiative to extend his hand after seeing Donn.
Don knew that the narrator in front of him was a supportive person, and although he sometimes criticized him as mean, he was also a mean person himself, so the two of them felt like each other with interest.
"I think Eriksen is going to be out of luck." Don smiled and shook back.
Morteson laughed, "I think I'm afraid you're nervous. Give you enlightenment and enlighten you how to deal with the memory, how to comment on the game...... It doesn't seem necessary."
Don followed him and had fun.
Alan. Shearer, a serious man, is a bit of an outlier next to him.
This is a behind-the-scenes episode on the front of the live broadcast of the game. Don was looking forward to his first TV commentary job and did his homework. He went to find out the current situation of England's opponent Paraguay in this game, as if he were studying the opponent as an England manager.
BBc5 is also very reasonable and classic. John. Mortenson is a veteran sports commentator in England. His sharp rhetoric and ** commentary style make others who like it very much, and people who hate others are extremely annoying. He will be used as a match commentator in tandem and co-ordinator. Similar to the host of the entertainment program. And Alain. Shearer is a current Newcastle player, as well as a former England striker and captain. He will comment on the game from the players' perspective. As the head coach Tony. Naturally, Donn analysed the game from the perspective of the tactical adjustments made by the managers of both sides.
In this way, the audience can learn about the venue from all aspects.
The group stage of England vs Paraguay is the third match of this World Cup.
Don didn't want to think about what it would be like to be born in another space and play at the same time. Because it doesn't mean anything to this game, does knowing the score of this game in another space help England's performance in this game? Can it be ensured that England will not repeat their old mistakes?
Done is not at all optimistic about England's prospects at the World Cup, and this has nothing to do with the fact that he knows England's performance at this World Cup. The problem of English football is a stubborn problem, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and even if it is the place that has not crossed before, it has never been optimistic about England's prospects in international competitions.
This is a team that has become self-defeating after being over-publicized by the domestic media.
In addition to getting an ancestral in 1966 at the door of his own house. Is there anything else England can do to be commendable? Nothing.
The prosperity of England and the land makes people feel that the England national team should also be strong. Although Donn agrees that the league is the foundation of a country's football level, he does not agree with the idea of directly equating the league level with the national team level. What's more, there is still a lot of moisture blown out by the media to the prosperity of the British land......
Why is it that the Earth Star in England is always more expensive than the same level Earth Star in other countries in Europe? Why England has a lot of teenage talents. How many of them ended up playing?
It's all thanks to the media of their land.
The hype and a series of mature publicity systems have made it easier for England players to be portrayed as "stars" in the eyes of the public, which is related to the national character of England and their once glorious imperial history.
It's always best to ...... by yourself
That's what Donn really thinks in his heart, and he thinks that the low level of English football – in the eyes of the English people is a temporary low – has nothing to do with the quality of the manager. It has nothing to do with the real strength of the players, it has nothing to do with the chef's cooking, and it has nothing to do with the alcoholic nature...... This pure fragmentation is a national problem, which is fundamentally unsolvable. Maybe they may have performed well in a certain tournament and have a little luck, and they can win the championship, but the overall improvement of their level is still zero.
Of course. This sounds a bit similar to Chinese football, but no matter how low the tide is, it is better than Chinese football, which is truly "zero eggs".
However, Donn will not speak out in the commentary of the game, and the Englishman will not allow others to speak ill of them easily, especially on the sensitive topic of ethnicity. Don didn't want to be an enemy of the people.
Mortensen wanted him to comment on the game from a manager's perspective, so Donn kept pointing the finger at Eriksen during the live broadcast.
His criticism of Erikson's main focus is on the use of "double virtues".
Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are both at the heart of their respective midfield, and they have both performed very well at their respective clubs, so it stands to reason that they will have no problem playing in the national team at the same time. But something went wrong. Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, who have performed well in Chelsea and Liverpool, once they arrive in the England national team, as long as they play at the same time, there will inevitably be one of them who will perform sluggishly, or both of them will perform sluggishly.
Fools can see that the positions and roles of these two people on the field completely coincide, and playing at the same time is not only a waste, but also a bit similar to the meaning of "repulsion at the same pole", interfering with each other, and as a result, no one can swing well.
Why does Eriksen still insist on having two people at the same time? Can't he see the problem? Don certainly wouldn't criticize Erickson for being stupid. He criticised the Swede for being too indulgent to his big-name stars.
These are two coaching philosophies in direct conflict. Donn is a collective above all else, as long as he has a manager as an authority and a star in his team, the players must listen to him, and he will never sacrifice his own tactics just to accommodate a star player.
Eriksen, on the other hand, is more of a conniving star, relying on big players to decide the game, and a bit of a "star effect", which allows him to mingle with the players and have a high status in the minds of the players, when he has repeatedly been caught in a case of mistrust with the FA. The players are on his side. In a sense, this can be regarded as a kind of "love". But his relationship with the players has been hot at the expense of England's competitiveness at the World Cup.
Against Paraguay, Eriksen's team played in the scorching afternoon sun in Frankfurt, playing groggy and without any highlights.
“…… I can't see where England want to win this game, and I don't even know if Eriksen wants to win or not...... Of course he wanted to win, but if he didn't prove it, I thought he didn't want to win...... Owen is back from injury. There is no form at all, so why let him and Rooney? Crouch is a perfect fit in a game like this, I've coached a big guy and I know what he's capable of...... Look, I'm right, Eriksen is substitution, Crouch is on, Irving is on for him...... Simple and crude, no technical content...... I'm sorry, I want to get some sleep. Call me ...... when you score a goal."
This is an excerpt from Donn's commentary on the game.
The game was played groggily and Paraguay did not attack with any threat. Neither did England and neither side seemed to want to take a more aggressive approach to scoring. It's just consumed in the scorching sun. The audience was lethargic and boring.
So, when Beckham sent the ball over the head of Paraguay's Gamarati with his trademark free-kick and into the back of the net, Donn finally "woke up" to the roar of Mortensen.
"Yo, the ball went in? Or an own goal! Awesome! Eriksen can breathe a sigh of relief."
England won the game with a hard-fought own goal.
After the game. In his post-match commentary for the Nottingham Evening Post and China's Sports Weekly, Donn devoted a lot of space to an interesting story about his presence at the game. Robinson kicked the ball straight to the big TV screen hanging in the middle of the pitch when he kicked off. I almost couldn't get down......
This incident made Don laugh for a long time in the comments at the time, and he was still repeating it to his two partners at halftime. He joked that it was a pity that the football still fell in the end. He really wants to see the football not fall so that the game will not be so dull and boring.
This is the first time to qualify for England and participate in the World Cup. Wood has been going back and forth between the bench and the warm-up area and hasn't been given even a minute of playing time. This is normal, after all, the England team has too many stars in the midfield now, Gerrard and Frank Lampard must be present at the same time, plus captain David Beckham, Joe. Cole, Hargreaves...... There is absolutely no room for Recruit Wood to get out of the field.
The problem in this game is not the midfield defense, but the organization of the attack. Wood going up doesn't help the team. Donn didn't criticize Erikson much about this decision. It shows that he is not a desperate person who spills dirt.
After the live broadcast of the match, BBc5 received a lot of feedback from viewers. Most of them are critical of Donn's style of commenting on the game. They don't think it's a good fit to be a guest commentator because his words are too aggressive and obviously personal, and some even suspect that Don is taking advantage of this kind of job opportunity to vent his personal grudges.
Donn's response to this was to shrug his shoulders, he didn't want to explain too much. He's a commentator, doesn't he need to be an objective and neutral commentator at all times, isn't he here just to express his personal opinion? Others may be afraid of offending people, but Tony. Don is not afraid.
Of course, he did have some intentions to take this opportunity to vent his anger...... Because he didn't like Eriksen as a coach very much. I feel that he is weak, this is a conflict of personality, and there is no way to change it easily.
The BBc also supported him. They know that even if there are more people who hate Donn's style of commentary, the ratings will definitely improve when the next game is played. Because those people still want to see what new things Don has to throw out this time, so that they can continue to find fault and call to complain.
People who like him will continue to support him, staying in front of the TV and watching him laugh and scold. People who hate him will also pay attention to him, collect his "incriminating evidence", and prepare to bring him down.
In short, this is a character that you can't ignore whether you like it or hate it.
