[Gossip Board] Middlesbrough Boss: Congratulations To Saints Players And Fans, But The Club’s Espionage Behavior Is Too Shameless

Hupu released news on May 13 that Middlesbrough lost to Southampton in the play-offs. After that, Middlesbrough's head coach was Kim Helberg. During the 15-minute press conference, he was in an emotional state and held back tears.

Last week, a Southampton staff member was caught spying on Middlesbrough's training at Rockcliffe, with Helberg claiming that Southampton's behavior was "disgraceful".

The situation has led the English Football League, also known as the EFL, to schedule hearings over allegations of misconduct.

On the pitch, Middlesbrough were beaten in the second leg of the semi-finals, with Shay Charles scoring the winner in the 118th minute after Ross Stewart equalized from Riley McGarry's premature goal.

However, the internal fighting within the club continues, with Middlesbrough striving for the most severe sporting penalties in the hope that Southampton will be expelled from the play-offs.

Helberg said "we'll see" on the matter, however, making his anger at Southampton's behavior clear, claiming it "broke his heart".

Helberg sent congratulations to Southampton's players and also expressed his congratulations to its fans. However, when relevant personnel asked him if he would congratulate the opponent coach Tunda Eckert, he gave a "no comment" response.

Helberg was asked if he had spoken directly to Eckert, to which Helberg said no. He also said that he had nothing to say to Eckert.

Later, when asked if he still wanted to appear at Wembley Stadium, Helberg held back tears and gave an emotional speech.

One, I have to congratulate Southampton's players, who put in an outstanding performance that, for their fans, they were not part of.

They should be congratulated and happy for their team. I want to tell them these words. I think they deserve this honor. They showed great tenacity in the battle.

Of course, for me, the most important thing is my identity as a coach. After all, this is a topic that I can talk about from my own perspective.

I have been a coach for 15 years, with the goal of leading the team to the Premier League. This is my dream, it has been my dream for 15 years. I know that when I took over Middlesbrough there were clubs who had greater resources or were receiving relegation bonuses, which meant they had more money to spend.

To be fair, there are some teams whose lineups are stronger than ours and who have stronger funds. As a coach, what you and your team have is the tactical aspect of the game – that is, how we can defeat our opponents.

I think this is why everyone loves football. I think that's why when I look at England, I feel like this is the birthplace of football. This is where I want to be, this is my ideal, this is where I always want to be.

When you're playing against teams with deeper pockets and stronger lineups, you'll be racking your brains to gain a tactical advantage.

After all, we will do it this way, because we can do better in this field. I think it would be unfair if such an advantage was taken away.

It has nothing to do with what they witnessed, what they witnessed, how they impacted the game, whether what they saw was a free kick or a goal kick.

This is our football and I think we should work hard to get it. I feel like what Alex Neal said after the game against Hull City was absolutely spot on.

He said: 'I felt after the game that I let everyone down by not winning. '

This is generally how a coach feels when he returns home, given that you have the understanding that all I can control is the tactical aspects of the game and what I can put into action is to help my players better.

This game, in the week or two before the game, you spend almost all your time watching Southampton, even if you are separated from your family, just to gain the advantage you can. After returning home, he said to his family: 'No, I'm not going home, I want to continue watching their games. '.

If we hadn't caught the guy they sent who took five hours to get here, you'd be there saying, "We did a good job tactically." And then when I get home, I'll feel like I screwed up in helping the players.

When all these things were ruthlessly taken away in this way, when some people made the decision, that is, 'No, we will definitely not come to watch every game in person, we will arrange for others to go instead', and then they started filming the entire training process, witnessed all the situations, and secretly prayed not to be discovered by others, I was thinking in my heart:

I think that's why he changed his clothes, and what I witnessed in the surveillance video, I can say that because I know that this kind of thing actually happened. This left me broken inside because everything I had ever believed in was destroyed.

I don't care if other countries have different rules. This is England and football is the most important thing here. This is how I feel. I think this is very shameful to my football colleagues and it makes me extremely sad.
