This film shows us the common weaknesses in human nature: after success, all the reasons for success are attributed to oneself, becoming conceited and inexhaustible; after failure, apart from finding shortcomings from others, he will never do anything. Something else. At the beginning of the film, Derbyshire, coached by the protagonist, played at home against Leeds United, the British Premier League champions. At that time, Clough was waiting for Leeds United coach Don with great respect. Levy arrived, but Levy put Clough aside, who was eager to shake hands with him, and walked straight past him. Just such a thing, made Clough's heart rise with hatred anger. With the joint efforts of Taylor, a good friend who is also the team's deputy coach, Derby County was promoted from the second division to the first division and won the league championship. Clough has a glorious moment. He thinks he is the creator of all this, and he doesn't pay attention to the chairman of the team. Because the arrangements for a game conflict with the chairman. In order to improve his position in the team, Clough self-righteously submitted the resignation of both himself and Taylor, thinking that the team would beg him in turn, and was fired. In a fierce quarrel, Clough took all the honor of the team to himself, and said Taylor was worthless, and the two parted ways. Clough came to Leeds United, which he once hated to his bones, as a coach, thinking that he could better realize his value as a coach in such a top team, but he failed repeatedly. He believed that the players were fighting against him. , So he wanted to improve by buying new players, but he didn't get any better, and was eventually dismissed by the team. Only then did he realize that he would accomplish nothing without Taylor's help. At the end of the film, Clough knelt down like Taylor and apologized to save his best friend and assistant. Later, the two of them led the Nottingham Forest team to complete the miracle of being promoted again and win the European Champions Cup twice. For the protagonist of the film, I began to admire him for his ambition and vitality, but as the film progresses, his arrogance, arrogance, and unbearable big mouth. It makes me feel a little disgusted. It wasn't until I saw him kneeling down to confess his mistakes to Taylor that I realized that the shortcomings in him were just shortcomings shared by human nature. No one can avoid those shortcomings, and only after experiencing the harm caused by these shortcomings can one recognize them and reflect on them. In fact, each of us is more or less arrogant, and no one will be aware of its existence without being led by this arrogance to experience failure. But as long as we recognize the existence of this weakness and be vigilant, we can achieve continuous success with ambitions.
