      Thinking of the management team

      From looking for an experienced and intelligent player, Dave McGee, to looking for a player who can control the entire midfield, Colin Todd, it shows that finding talent is important, combining technical advantages is important, and the competitiveness of the team comes from this.


             Before the game that turned defeat into victory, the conversations with the players in the locker room showed that it is important to objectively point out shortcomings, and it is important to...

        Magical Football for men is a sport where passion and dreams are intertwined. Although they are not professional players, the fans' affection for football is no less than that of professional players who regard football as a means of making a living. Sometimes they are even more fanatical than professional players, perhaps because of professional players. Gluing up with football every day will cause some aesthetic fatigue, and...

      stories about men

      When you have become a champion, when you have successfully pulled the old overlord off his horse, when you are in a good mood, the old overlord suddenly stretched out an olive branch, what would you do?
      If it were me, I would say no and continue to conquer the world with my team.
      But no Clough, he saw Leeds as a challenge, as a challenge in his quest for perfect football, and he bravely embraced it, trying to turn filthy Leeds into another believer in art football , even at the cost...

      you can't fight alone

      In 1974 Brian Clough took charge of Leeds United for 44 days before a locker-room uprising: players collectively demanded that the coach be dismissed. At that time, Leeds United was not as down-to-earth as it is now, but a new champion in the ascendant. Big-name players couldn't bear the outspoken Clough and his unconventional tactical ideas. They are good at traditional British style of play, threatening the opponent's penalty area with the most concise long pass, and relying on fierce close...

      "Nostalgic" full of atmosphere

      If the atmosphere of a movie is very successful, that movie can be said to be 80% successful. The film uses a rare documentary-like "gray-yellow" tone, coupled with the typical music rhythm of the 60s and 70s, and successfully brings the audience into the "distant" era, the League One (now called the Premier League) ) Derbyshire, Leeds United, and Nottingham Forest also had brilliant years on the field! (?)
        The acting style of the male protagonist Michael Sheen can be called...

      English football is so dark! I just like the selfishness of the British. They took Nottingham Forest from the second division to the first division to win the league championship, and they don't even talk about the inspirational history of winning the championship. They only talk about the black history of others~ football is like this....

    Evaluation action

    The film is well-made, and the characters of the film and the real file material are seamlessly intertwined in the film. The most eye-catching is Michael Christopher Sheen's superb performance, which makes this film surpass the general sports film. The film uses a sometimes relaxed and cheerful tone, which can prevent the audience from being completely immersed in the legend or over-understanding its impact. (Review of "USA Today")

      Manny Cussins: It's not working. We have to part company.

      Brian Clough: Fine, it'll cost you twenty-five grand.

      Manny Cussins: What? For six weeks' work?

      Manny Cussins: That is bloody criminal!

      Brian Clough: You can throw in the Merc and all.

      Manny Cussins: What?

      Brian Clough: Might be a bit flash for a man out of a job, but the truth is, I've grown to like it.

      Manny Cussins: Who do you bloody think you are?

      Brian Clough: Brian Clough. Brian Howard Clough.

    • Brian Clough: We're from the north, Pete. What do we care about Brighton? Bloody southerners. Look where we are! We're almost in France!

    • Journalist: How would you define your approach to management, apart from being brilliant?
