I Want to Be the King of Football - Chapter 980
The Manchester City players’ impression of Guardiola is actually very contradictory, a bit like a complex of angels and demons.
It is the devil because he is very demanding on the execution of tactics. It can be said that, except for Su Dong, who he trusts most, all the other players in the team must strictly follow his requirements to run and pass the ball.
How to run, where to run, how to pass, where to pass…
For almost everything, Guardiola will prepare the players properly. As a player, you only need to implement it strictly and give full play to your own characteristics.
There are good and bad things to do.
Needless to say, the overall performance of the team is very stable, and it doesn’t matter even if it changes players.
Especially young players like Sterling, Trippier, Thiago, etc., they can also play very well in this system.
Many people say that Guardiola is good at cultivating young players. This is because his rigorous and meticulous tactics allow young players to get on the court and clearly know what they are going to do, how to do it, and then in the overall tactics. Under the framework, the performance will be better by giving full play to its own characteristics.
But the disadvantage is also quite obvious, that is, when players are familiar with this set of play, they will inevitably feel a little mechanical, lack some imagination and sense of autonomy, and even easily produce a sense of slack.
Of course, for the time being, Manchester City is still enjoying the benefits, but the disadvantages are rare.
As for the angel side of Guardiola, in fact, his management is quite humane. In many cases, he pays more attention to the self-discipline of the players. Let the players live at home, thinking that this can be more conducive to the players’ performance.
However, while being human, Guardiola kept a certain distance from the players, which seemed a bit alienated.
Although he is a professional player, he rarely gets along with the players. He maintains a kind of managerial aloofness, sometimes even seeming too cold and lacking in human touch.
This management model is very scientific and professional, but it lacks a sense of closeness with the players. When the team encounters difficulties, it is difficult for the players to have the urge to die for their confidants, which also led to Guardiola. In the first season of coaching Manchester City, the team seriously lacked the confidence to fight a tough battle.
The addition of Su Dong, especially after he became the captain of the team, made up for this problem well.
Today’s Manchester City looks like a division of labor between Guardiola and Su Dong. The former adopts scientific and professional management, while Su Dong is mingling with the players, raising their arms when necessary, and the whole team responds in unison.
Even to a certain extent, Su Dong’s prestige in Manchester City is higher than Guardiola, which is derived from this.
Because of this, before there were rumors that when Barcelona were going to poach Guardiola, the British media even felt that Manchester City did not need to find other coaches at all, and straightened Su Dong directly as a player and head coach and gave him. Equipped with an experienced assistant is enough.
This statement is really not for no reason, but because of Manchester City’s current management model, Su Dongyin has lost a large part of the authority that should have belonged to coach Guardiola.
Guardiola also knows this very well. It was his own choice at the beginning, and Su Dong, whether on the court or on weekdays, highly respected him as the head coach, and everyone gave him enough. His respect, this allowed the two to work together perfectly, so he didn’t want to solve this problem in the past.
Even, whether it was Pep Guardiola’s signing with Manchester City or the recent contract renewal, Su Dong has contributed a lot.
All of this has created Su Dong’s position in the Manchester City team even more detached than Guardiola.
And Su Dong did not become arrogant and complacent because of this. Instead, he acted in a more low-key style, cautious and attentive everywhere, and was usually quite self-disciplined.
…
Every morning, before heading to Carrington, Su Dong will train himself at home, which has been a habit he has developed for many years.
After the training, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Su Dong went out.
For so many years, he has never learned to drive. When his fiancée Wang Chuqing was in school, he could only hire a driver for himself to take him back and forth every day.
On the way to Carrington, he would take time to make video calls with his fiancée, his parents and future father-in-law and mother-in-law to chat about daily trivial matters. Manchester’s morning happened to be a domestic afternoon, and they were happy to have a little chat.
After arriving in Carrington, the first stop is the restaurant.
When I get older, not only the amount of training needs to be adjusted, but the diet also needs to be adjusted.
Su Dong’s personal dietitian, Dr. Paul Lacasco, will fly from Portugal to Manchester every week to check Su Dong’s physical condition and tailor a recipe for the next week. He will communicate with his personal trainer every day and make adjustments at any time. recipe.
Manchester City also carried out large-scale rectifications not long ago. One of the most important is the importance of the players’ diet. For example, Guardiola requires that during the league, every player must have a meal in the training base.
The food provided by the team is also of high standard. Even if it is some fruits that can be found everywhere, they have found a special supplier to provide the highest quality fruits, not to mention some meat and the like, but the restaurant also provides some pizza, High-calorie foods such as burgers, but players can only eat according to recipes.
Of course, Manchester City has hired several chefs, all of which are very skilled, and they are dedicated to serving these players.
Don’t think these chefs are very relaxed, in fact they are really busy.
It’s not a big deal to make delicacies from mountains and seas into delicious food. The real difficulty is to make things like chicken **** that no one eats, even hard to swallow, to be nutritious and delicious. That’s the real thing. Ability.
Manchester City even specifically supports chefs to develop some recipes for this purpose, and it also spends a lot of money every year.
Su Dong’s recipe will be sent to the restaurant by the personal trainer the day before, and then the restaurant will go to the restaurant.
The players have a lot of exercise and have a very good appetite. Eat something casually, which is the average person’s food for at least one day.
Especially for high-standard catering such as Su Dong, all kinds of nutrition must be taken into account, not many of them, but a dozen dishes are laid out, and there is a big table full of them.
Not only is this true for him, but the same is true for everyone else.
If you meet the big stomach king, you will be able to eat a cow.
Su Dong received a call from Ronnie when he was facing a large table for breakfast and dried fruit rice.
…
“Hey, brother, you woke up so early?” Su Dong asked vaguely while eating.
“I’ve finished training in the hotel gym, how about you?” Ronnie on the other side smiled.
Su Dong whimpered twice, “Listen, I have already had breakfast at the training base.”
“Then you have to save some for me, we are going to pass soon.”
“Of course no problem, as long as you don’t find it bothersome.”
Real Madrid’s expedition to Manchester this time, staying in a hotel in the city, but the training base is borrowed from Manchester United, and the whole world knows that Manchester United’s training base is next door to Manchester City.
However, this situation will end this season. After this season, Manchester City’s brand new, world-class training base next to the Etihad Stadium will be officially opened. In addition to the first team, the youth team will also Training there, the various facilities are of the highest level, with many high-tech equipment.
“How does it feel to return to Manchester United?” Su Dong asked suddenly.
Ronnie on the opposite side was obviously silent for a while before saying: “It doesn’t feel much, familiar and strange.”
This is the team that has played for the longest time in his career. To say that he has no feeling for Manchester United, it is absolutely false.
But as for professional players, they come together if they don’t agree, whether they’re a club or a player. To put it bluntly, it’s a combination of interests, and it’s not a good thing to use emotions.
“I saw the old man yesterday, he said, you have caused him to lose sleep for a long time.” Ronnie laughed.
“What does it matter to me that he has insomnia?” Su Dong smiled bitterly.
“Isn’t it all you forced? He asked me to ask you, do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young?”
Su Dong laughed haha, this is indeed what Ferguson would ask.
Of course, the old man wanted a face, and he would definitely not ask in person. He told Ronnie that it was more of a complaint.
Everyone knows that Ronnie and Su Dong are best friends.
“I apologized to him for you.” Ronnie said again.
Su Dong was taken aback, what do you mean?
“I told him that your kid is a bit crazy lately, and I will teach you a lesson for him, so that you know how to respect your elders.”
Yes, go around, still want to win.
Su Dong chuckled, and didn’t take it seriously, “The old man probably broke the music.”
“No, he reminded me that you are in good shape recently.”
When talking about this, Ronnie turned his head, “But my recent state is not bad.”
Su Dong sighed, “Speaking of which, do you want to change your direction and praise yourself?”
Ronnie on the phone was also happy, “Pepe called me last night, and he also thinks I’m in good shape lately.”
“He has bad thoughts and wants you to float away.” Su Dong looked at Pepe who was eating Hesai not far away, and said happily.
Ronnie was also noncommittal. “Seriously, I feel like I can score a goal tonight.”
“Coincidentally, I also feel that I can score a goal.” Su Dong smiled.
“How many do you think you can make?” Ronnie asked.
This kid also had bad thoughts and wanted to step on Su Dong.
Su Dong has been with him for so long, but he still doesn’t know his ghost thoughts~www.mtlnovel.com~ and smiled immediately: “One more than you.”
“Get out of here!” Ronnie smiled immediately.
The two could clearly hear each other’s laughter across the phone, and they could hear Pepe’s shout on the opposite side, asking Su Dong if he was on the phone with Ronnie. The boy was still yelling, Ronnie will never be allowed to score tonight.
“Have you heard? Pepe said, if you can score tonight, he will run naked from Manchester to Portugal.”
“Digging grooves, real or fake? Then I have to work hard!”
Su Dong laughed, Peipei had already rushed over to grab the phone, so Su Dong hurried to hide.
Ronnie on the phone also heard the movement and immediately shouted: “Pepe, I recorded it. Don’t be fooling around after the game, I’ll wait to see you running naked.”
Poor Pepe almost didn’t cry.
That **** has scored in ten consecutive games. I bet on this with him?
