Red Rebels - Chapter 804

804 Barcelona things

“Did you know that when Guardiola passed by me just the beginning of the second half, he smiled and said to me, Jose, the game has just begun, do you know what I was thinking at the time?”

The old **** Mourinho was sitting in a chair in the middle of the press conference at the same time. He was casual when he was interviewed by reporters at home. He smiled and smiled at hundreds of media and reporters in the venue. This is the joy in his heart at this moment, and his familiarity with this scene.

He seems to be a guy born for a press conference!

After listening to Mourinho’s words, everyone, including Guardiola, shook his head. They were not maggots in Mourinho’s stomach. Naturally, they did not know what the Portuguese thought about.

“I was thinking, did this guy take the wrong medicine? My team has won him 3 goals and he suddenly told me that the game has just begun? I believe he is a fool!”

There was a burst of giggles all over the venue, and all the media practitioners and staff laughed, even Guardiola couldn’t help but smile, heartily smiling.

This smile seemed to make him take off the heavy burden on his shoulders, making his whole body extremely relaxed, his mind became active, and thinking about the problem was clearer and more understandable than before!

After a burst of laughter, everyone chose to be quiet again and set their sights on Mourinho. They all hoped that this eloquent Portuguese could continue to bring more material to them and promote them well. A sales volume, but who knows, this guy suddenly chose deep.

Some people say that Mourinho’s face is the same as the weather in Manchester. When he changes, he can change that time. No one can guess the time, and no one can hold his emotions apart from facing Xiao Yu. time.

“But after 45 minutes in the second half, I really understand why Guardiola is so confident, and I have to admit that these 45 minutes are the strongest and most aggressive I have encountered in recent years. Barcelona, ​​they are sticking to their traditions and playing their own special football. “

“In these 45 minutes, their solid defense and mercury-like offensive caused us a lot of trouble. They showed us that what we call the world’s strongest defense system is not unbreakable. They also let us You see, the Red Rebels still have a lot of room for improvement. “

“Barcelona in the second half is worthy of respect. I never say anything against it, and I rarely praise my opponents, especially Barcelona, ​​but this time, I have to admit that Guardiola’s Barcelona, ​​good. ! “

Mourinho’s remarks suddenly surprised everyone in the entire venue, but at the same time they understood why Mourinho would say so, because they all felt the same.

The first half of the Red Rebels was flawless, but it was just a stage for the Red Rebels alone, but football was a game of 22 people, so if this game is likened to a movie, then The protagonist of the Red Rebels is too rushing, and the other protagonist Barca’s role has been diluted.

Maybe, with this show, the Red Rebels can get the Oscars, but such a movie will never get the best Oscar film, because this is an unbalanced, one-sided movie.

However, the second half was very different. Barcelona’s state seemed to return completely after charging in the midfield. In the second half, they changed the conservative approach in the first half and started a beautiful offensive with the Red Rebels.

Both teams have deep technical skills. They are very particular about control and technical details, which makes them see a brilliant football feast in the fast-paced matchup. .

There is no doubt that this 45 minutes is definitely the most exciting 45 minutes since the season. It can be called a textbook on technical football, and it is bound to be learned and learned by countless football practitioners.

Although only two goals were scored by the two sides in the second half, this one goal is very memorable, because this is the first time that all teams in the world have broken through since the summer training so far this season. The Red Rebels’ goal was also Cech’s first goal conceded this season.

Barcelona still lost, 1: 3, but Barcelona won, at least they regained the respect of the fans, the respect of Mourinho, the respect of the Red Rebels, and also their own dignity!

They can finally straighten up and tell the world that even if they do n’t act, even if they do n’t do small moves, they are still super giants Barcelona and still the horrifying super strong team!

“Excuse me, Mr. Guardiola, why did Barcelona look like two very different teams in the first and second half? Did you say something to Barcelona’s players during the intermission? Or to them Did you give some kind of encouragement? “

Guardiola is obviously a little embarrassed because he didn’t win this game. Although at the end of the game, Camp Nou ’s attitude towards the home team was completely different from that at halftime, but Guardiola Still a little embarrassed.

The fans are very simple and simple. They just like the team blindly and hope that the team can continue to strengthen themselves, so it is easy to please them, but the board is very difficult. They have a strong goal. Diola will undoubtedly need more and more chips to please them.

“Actually, I didn’t say anything to them, I just told them that the tradition of Barcelona has never been timid when encountering difficulties. We should face up to difficulties, then Barcelona is worthy of respect!”

“In addition, I encourage my players. I hope they can boldly express their thoughts in the locker room, and express their views on the game, the requirements for the head coach, the club, and their teammates. I am fortunate that they were frank and all spoke their thoughts, but 15 minutes is too short for us. “

“In the 15 minutes, I and my players have learned a lot, which has helped us a lot, and I hope to be able to keep these things learned today and continue to integrate them into us. In Barcelona’s combat system, I believe that will make us stronger! “

Guardiola didn’t say what he discussed with the players and what he understood, but it is clear that he really did from this game, from these 15 minutes, and from the 45 minutes in the second half , Learned a lot.

At least he was very clear that these reporters who were good at seeing and seeing things had noticed the change in his entire person!

“But it is said that during the intermission, Pikui and Busquets caused conflicts in the locker room, and some of them acted. Can you explain?” Marca reporter feared that the world would not be chaotic. Asked.

The Marca newspaper is in support of Real Madrid. Naturally, it is against Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona can’t wait to finish it sooner.

Real Madrid today is getting stronger in La Liga, especially with the rise of front-line attackers such as David Silva, Mata, Navas, Ribery, plus Ancelotti’s Joining, he tuned Real Madrid into an offensive team playing beautiful football.

Real Madrid overwhelmed Barcelona, ​​and the Marca newspaper naturally hoped that it could be further down. At least what they did now is just what the Pro-Barca newspapers did to Real Madrid in the past few years!

Feng Shui is taking turns, and this sentence also works in football circles.

“I will not disclose what happened in the locker room and the conversations that took place, that is the secret between me and the players, but I can responsibly clarify that there is no problem between our team, all problems It’s all been resolved in these 15 minutes, and we will be a united whole. “

Regarding Guardiola’s optimism, the media and journalists obviously do not think so. At least they feel that Guardiola is still avoiding heavy weight, at least if there is a fight in Barcelona’s locker room, it must not be easy.

Afterwards, the reporter asked Guardiola and Mourinho a few questions about Barcelona and the Red Rebels, but the two coaches are in a good mood today. Although Guardiola lost the ball, his He won something, and he temporarily restored the hearts of the fans.

As for Mourinho, frankly, the Portuguese is a triumphant snobbish guy. As long as the game wins, his mood will always be good. This game is the same, plus he is really good for the second half. Barcelona are satisfied with their performance, so naturally there is nothing bad to say.

This is a rich press conference, at least compared to other press conferences attended by Mourinho. The press conference held at the Camp Nou venue has a good atmosphere and a good result.

…………

…………

When Guardiola stepped out of the Camp Nou, picked up the car, and was about to leave the parking lot, he just saw his assistant coach talking with Barcelona club vice-chairman Begiristan in the distance. No one knew what they were talking about. However, from the expression, Begristan was angry, and the assistant coach was angry.

“Should you be talking about me? At this time!” Guardiola smiled bitterly, but instead of stopping, he stepped on the throttle, and the Audi rushed straight in, and no one knew he had discovered this scene.

Guardiola has a deep awareness of his situation in Barcelona. He even thinks that after 1: 3 in this game, he will probably leave Barcelona’s coaching seat.

The news of leaving has been circulating for a long time, but the Barcelona official has never stood up to clarify. This is already a kind of default, but the previous Barcelona coach was unwilling to take over this mess, La Porta Only then remained Guardiola coaching the team.

It seems they can’t wait any longer!

The car was driving on the highway home, but Guardiola’s expression was not as dignified as he imagined. He asked himself that he had done his best. If the senior executives thought he was inappropriate, let him leave. Although it was a regret, but he He still chooses respect, after all, he loves Barcelona and loves this team.

As if he was on the verge of retiring and was ruthlessly swept out by Barcelona, ​​he would not hate it!

But while he was thinking, the phone suddenly rang.

Drive the car to the temporary parking belt, Guardiola connected the phone, there came a voice that he should be relatively familiar with, Sandro Russell, former vice president of Barcelona, ​​a candidate who will be elected in the next summer presidential election candidate.

“Hello, Mr. Rosell!” Guardiola always looked polite.

Russell on the phone smiled. “Pep, if you have time, I hope I can talk to you.”

“About what?” Guardiola jumped in his heart, and the last thing he wanted was to jump into the quagmire of the board of directors, but he clearly realized that Russell was looking for him for the presidential election next year.

Sure enough, Russell said with a smile, “I hope you can stay in Barcelona!”

“It’s not something I can decide, Mr. Russell!” Guardiola reminded, at least for now they are the head coach on the verge of class, and the other is the former vice president of Barcelona. It is difficult to say whether they will be elected next year.

Laporta, however, has begun to cultivate himself for him, and he will not let Barcelona leave his clutches so easily.

Russell is still laughing, but the laughter is full of confidence, “I’m not afraid to say frankly, Pep, you are in a very bad situation. I can tell you clearly that within three days you will end the class, the second team leader Coach Enrique will take your place and become the head coach of Barcelona’s first team, and then invite a world-class coach next summer. “

As for who the candidate is, Rossell did not say, and Guardiola did not need to ask.

Not every head coach who is about to leave has the courage to ask who is the guy who stole his job!

Guardiola on the phone smiled a bit bitterly. He sensitively realized that the news of Russell should be true. He had served as Vice President of Barcelona, ​​and he was determined to be elected next year. There must be his eyeliner in Barcelona. .

Reconnected with the dispute between Begiristan and the assistant coach just now, Guardiola guessed that Russell was telling the truth, and this decision should have just come out not long, and Russell could get it immediately and give it to himself immediately. The call was clearly prepared.

“What the **** do you want to say, Mr. Russell?” Guardiola felt a little clue sensitively.

Russell was not upset by Guardiola’s tone, but just responded lightly: “I want to help you, Pep, I think you are very suitable for a coach in Barcelona, ​​I am very optimistic about your coaching Ability, especially the kind of change you showed in the second half of this game, gave me hope to revive Barcelona. “

“It’s not just the players, but also the coaching staff, the board that restrict you to show your talents, that’s a group of guys who have vegetarian meals. I think they should all be cleared from Barcelona’s organization, and then build a modern management team and introduce Modern management tools. “

“Modern football has higher and higher requirements for head coaches, and corresponding powers should be given more and more power, such as player introduction and signing, such as vertical management of youth teams, etc. I think the Premier League head coach model It is worth learning and drawing on. “

The head coach of the Premier League is a big temptation in the football world, because in the Premier League, the head coach can get considerable power, but in other leagues, although Guardiola has won a lot of power in Barcelona, ​​but has not yet reached that kind of Dominate the transfer market, but if it reaches the level of the Premier League, at least he has more power than now.

With more power, there are more opportunities to show your talents and ideals!

After just the second half, Guardiola feels that his football concept has entered a higher level. He hopes to have the opportunity to show his football world and lead Barcelona to higher glory.

Russell’s proposal undoubtedly caters to his request, and his views on the Barcelona board of directors are exactly the same as Guardiola. At least he clearly gave Guardiola a signal. If he is superior, Guardiola Will become Barcelona’s Mourinho, become the most legendary person in Barcelona history!

This is an absolute temptation for Guardiola!

“It’s late, Mr. Russell. I don’t think it would be a wise choice to invite a poor head coach fired by the previous chairman to join your campaign team!” Guardiola smiled bitterly.

I do n’t know, just finished saying that, Russell laughed, “You can rest assured, Pep, I won’t fight with uncertainty, I just want to ask your wishes. “

“If you are willing to stay in Barcelona, ​​I would love to see us work together to create a great scene for Barcelona’s revival; if you lose interest in coaching Barcelona, ​​it is a shame, but I respect your decision, and then I hope You, Pep, forget all our conversations today, just as if I hadn’t made the call. “

After a short pause, Russell continued to ask, “Now, can you answer me, would you like to continue coaching Barcelona?”

Guardiola almost no hesitation, nodded directly, “Of course, I am very happy!”

Russell on the phone was obviously nodding and happy, “Well, Pep, I can guarantee that at this time next year, you will still be in the position of Barcelona’s head coach. No one can easily Get you out of office! “

Then, Russell said a few words to reassure Guardiola, and then hung up.

But from the beginning to the end, he didn’t say what he could do to prevent Guardiola from leaving the class, and what way he could compete for the position of President of Barcelona, ​​but Guardiola could hear what he said Stock confident.

Until the end of the season, Guardiola led Barcelona’s successful reversal of Real Madrid to win the La Liga Champions League, the Kings Cup, and the UEFA Cup. When he achieved the triple crown, he suddenly understood that Russell was a gambler. correct!

But Guardiola did not lose faith. During the presidential election, he directly expressed his support for Russell, actively promoted Russell’s election, and eventually helped Russell win the position of Barcelona president.

This is hailed as a magical stroke of Russell, and at the same time has created a glorious future for Barcelona! 2k novel reading network
