As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 235 Jose's Condition (Subscribe)
Prince William, the current head coach of the England national team Hodgson, and the chairman of the FA, met with Jose in person.

As the next week will be the international break, the last two rounds of European Cup qualifiers are left.

Although the England team has already qualified ahead of schedule, they also need to prepare for the finals in June next year.

Therefore, there was no need for the other party to speak, and Jose had already thought of the purpose of their trip.

However, out of respect and politeness, Jose took the lead to say hello: "Your Highness, long time no see, I am really flattered to have you come to see me in person."

"He, you deserve me to come and see you in person," said Prince William.

"Oh?"

"Let me introduce you first. This is Mr Roy Hodgson, England Men's Football Manager; this is David Bernstein, Chairman of the FA; this is Greg Clarke, Vice-Chairman of the FA... ..." Prince William introduced several people to Jose.

"Hello, Mr. Hodgson." Jose immediately extended his right hand to Hodgson.

"Young man, I'm here to invite you to join our team." Mrs. Huo looked amiable with a smile on his face.

"I'll think about it," Jose replied.

After releasing Hodgson's hand, Jose walked towards the two FA presidents.

Facing the yellow-skinned and black-haired Jose, Bernstein looked indifferent.

And although Greg Clark had a smile on his face, Jose could still feel the arrogance emanating from his bones.

Jose knew that the other party was only pretending to be kind because of Prince William's presence. In fact, the arrogance and prejudice of the British people did not diminish in the slightest.

"In fact, His Royal Highness is also one of the chairmen of the FA," Bernstein added.

Hearing Bernstein's words, Jose instantly understood why Prince William was so active and wanted to join the England national team by himself, including his responsibilities.

After a simple meeting ceremony, everyone found a place to sit down.

Chelsea's staff have already withdrawn.

...

"He, tell me a condition." Prince William stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.

According to Western values, whether to cooperate or not depends on the benefits, so Prince William does not intend to use any tricks of emotional understanding and reasoning.

"Your Highness, can you let me think about such an important matter?" Jose actually had a plan in mind, but he just didn't want to reveal it easily.

"Okay, we'll wait for you here," said Prince William.

"What should I order?" Jose thought in his mind.

It is obviously impossible to ask the FA for money, so Jose can only ask for some intangible things.

Let the royal family be knighted?
Even if Prince William dared to propose to the Queen, the Queen would not dare to agree under the pressure of the British people.

Let the prince help you get into the upper class?
His own strength and influence are not enough, even if he squeezes in, he is still an outsider.

"Are there any ideals that I have not achieved?" Jose asked himself.

Of course there is.

When he was young, Jose's biggest ideal was to become a professional player and then lead the national team to win the world championship.

However, by mistake, although Jose has become a dazzling professional player, it is already impossible to lead the national team to win the World Cup.

Huaxia football, described as terminally ill, is not enough to express its rottenness.

Jose secretly sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in Jose's mind.

With that, Jose thought of what he wanted.

"His Royal Highness William, my condition is very simple, that is, let the youth training camps in England go to China to recruit young players." Jose looked solemn, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

Hearing Jose's words, everyone present showed expressions of disbelief.

According to rumors, Huaxia people are a group of people who deeply love their country and nation.

What Jose thinks of at this moment is to seek the welfare of his own nation?Are the Chinese people really as great as the legends say?
If he knew the thoughts of everyone present, Jose would definitely be embarrassed.

Jose is of course patriotic, but to regard him as a saint who sacrifices himself and others is completely looking up to him.

Jose has worked hard in the Premier League and the Bundesliga. He has met many players from Japan and South Korea, but he has not met any Chinese players.

Of course, in the Bundesliga, there was indeed a Chinese player in Wolfsburg's team, but his competitor was De Bruyne, so that Chinese player had no chance to play at all.

"That's it?" Prince William asked in disbelief.

Football youth training camps in England have always been open to other countries, but the conditions are different.

"Well, I hope that all youth training camps, big and small, can take the initiative to go to Huaxia to enroll students, and do a good job of publicity in advance." Jose said seriously.

"Okay, I can fight for Chinese young players to enjoy the same treatment as British players when they come to England to play football." Prince William agreed.

"If I can lead the England team to win the World Cup, I hope to select 10 players in the next World Cup." Jose expressed his final thoughts.

You guessed it right, Jose wanted to form an all-Chinese team in England.

This is a crazy and impractical idea.

But at this moment, Jose thinks so and is ready to act.

"This, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." This time, Prince William did not dare to agree easily.

"Don't worry, the people I choose are all players who have the ability to win the championship." Jose said.

In fact, whether it is Prince William or the two FA chairmen, they cannot interfere with the selection of the team's head coach.

"I have no problem." Hodgson, who had been silent all this time, said, "But you'd better ask Gareth Southgate."

Southgate is currently the head coach of the England youth team and is considered the best successor to Hodgson.

The England team is different from other national teams. They are arrogant and only accept that the head coach is an Englishman.

So even if the results do not meet expectations, they will not accept the choice of world famous coaches.

This is exactly the opposite of the China National Football Team.

Upon hearing Hodgson's words, Bernstein immediately contacted Gareth Southgate.

Hearing that some players wanted to choose their own national team members, Southgate's first reaction was to directly refuse.

If players can interfere with the head coach's selection and tactics at will, then does he need to be the head coach?

However, when Southgate learned that Jose made the request, he agreed without saying a word.

As the head coach of the England youth team, he paid attention to Jose earlier than anyone else.

When Jose represented the Villa youth team and won the FA Youth Cup, Southgate felt that Jose was the kind of player who could carry half the team alone.

After that, he regretted that Jose was a Chinese player.

You know, now coincides with England's young goalkeeper fault, the appearance of Jose is like sending charcoal in the snow.

Moreover, Jose's condition has a premise, that is, to lead England to win the World Cup.

What is the meaning contained in this, Southgate can figure it out with his toes.

If Jose really leads the team to win the World Cup, let alone participate in the selection of players, even hand over the power of head coach to Jose.

A champion coach is a height that many people find difficult to reach in their lifetime.

Hodgson's contract ends at the European Cup next year. If there is no accident, no matter what the results are, Hodgson will choose to put down the coach of the England national team.

Then it was time for Southgate to take over.

In fact, considering that Jose is still under 21 years old, Southgate even thought about letting Jose play in the youth team.

But he is also very clear that this kind of idea is basically impossible to realize.

Jose is now a real superstar player. It is reported that Jose has been shortlisted for the final competition for the Golden Globe Award.

Of course, as a goalkeeper, it is definitely not an easy task for Jose to overwhelm Melo and win the Golden Globe.

Knowing that England's future national team coach Southgate did not object to Jose's request, Prince William signed an agreement with Jose on the spot, so I won't go into details.

In this way, Jose officially joined the England national team.

Hodgson told Jose on the spot that the game between England and Estonia at Wembley Stadium on October 10 will be Jose's first appearance at the national team level.

Jose naturally has no opinion on this.

After Prince William and the two Football Association chairmen returned, they immediately issued a new policy, which was to lower the entry threshold for Chinese youth players.

The new policy stipulates that Chinese youth players can enjoy the same treatment as local players when joining various youth training camps in England.

If it was the past, no team would be interested in such a policy.

But since seeing Jose turned out, the teams suddenly realized one thing, that is, China is not without good players, but they are just ruined by their environment.

Jose's success not only made Chelsea's jerseys sell well, but even Villa's jersey sales were passively increased.

It's just that what makes the Villa boss dumbfounded is that the best-selling jersey is only the number that Jose once wore.

China is the largest market in the world, and no team wants to get a piece of it.

They have sent youth scouts to China to promote and discover outstanding young players.

Regarding the move of the major teams in England, people were puzzled. How could the arrogant British gentleman choose players in the Chinese region, which was judged to be a football desert?
It wasn't until the announcement of England's new squad that people saw Jose on the list that they thought of some possibility.

Jose's first reunion with the English football team did not go well.

It is rumored that the British football players do not get along well with each other. Leaving aside the double-red contest, the various derby competitions in the same city have caused irreconcilable contradictions between these players.

The outside world found a bunch of technical reasons for the problem of "coexistence of dual virtues" in the past to explain why they could not achieve 1+1>=2, but very few people would think that it was a personal problem between the two of them.

Western players care more about their own interests than national honor.
