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 of parting ways with assistants and old friends.
However, Leeds United's football style has been deeply rooted, just like the England national team has played 442 for 10,000 years. Therefore, like Don Quixote single-handedly rushing to the windmill, the result is a no-suspense failure. Being humiliated on a talk show, he was dismissed from get out of class.

There are two episodes in this film that impressed me:
1. When Derby County challenged Leeds for the second time, Clough did not say a word of nonsense in the dressing room, and the morale was mobilized to the peak. But as a head coach, in the face of enormous pressure, he didn't even have the courage to walk out of the locker room.
2. At the end of the film, the director mocked the FA's pride and Clough's greatness with a line of subtitles "Clough remains the best couch England never got".
