Chapter 461 The Second Round Begins

Barcelona intends to invite Wansheng to replace Rijkaard as the team coach and lead Barcelona to the next season, but it is not just as simple as rumors.

After the first leg with Barcelona, ​​Barcelona club president Laporta called Wan Sheng's 'nominal' agent Kevin Tagore to tell him that Barcelona wanted to invite Wan Sheng before to teach.

The reason why we say 'nominal' is because Kevin Tagore is very busy, and many of Wansheng's personal work are handled by the 'legal advisory group' of the Tagore-Wan Group. In name, Kevin Tagore is still an agent. But in essence, Kevin - Tagore has rarely been involved.

The Tagolvan Group has a large number of 'Lawyers' Consultants, and the person directly in charge has not made any public appearances. Wansheng has hardly had any work in commercial advertising or contract signing recently, so the European side is not aware of the situation.

Laporta wanted to ask some questions about Wansheng's whereabouts through Kevin Tagore.

Tagore still has some understanding of Wan Sheng's recent work, but his own work is too busy, how can he be in the mood to talk to Laportado? In Tagore's mind, Wansheng had better return to China and participate in the management of the group company.

However, Tagore knew that Wansheng would not decide which club to coach so quickly, so he just agreed with Laporta, and then there was no more.

He didn't get a reply, and Laporta didn't give up either. He directly found Wan Sheng's phone number through a relationship and called.

This is the second day of the Manchester City-Liverpool game.

Wan Sheng was a little surprised when he received a call from Laporta. He didn't expect that the other party would really invite him. If he didn't think about where he wanted to go, Barcelona was really a good choice. Unfortunately, he had already made plans for his future. The coaching club must at least belong to the Tagorewan Group, so that it is not a part-time job for others.

Barcelona?

This century-old European giant could never be acquired, so he regretfully refused, "Sorry, I have no plans to coach in Barcelona."

"what?"

Laporta was stunned after hearing this, and the smile on his face suddenly froze. He didn't expect that the other party would directly reject his invitation, and he didn't even find an excuse.

This is naked-naked-naked saying, "I'm not interested in Barcelona!"

How is this possible?

Will there be managers in the world who are not interested in coaching Barcelona?

Laporta didn't expect this result at all. Maybe he didn't remember that before, the president of Barcelona's sworn enemy Real Madrid, Calderon, also invited Wansheng, but he was also rejected directly. At that time, he also laughed at Real Madrid's unattractiveness. , trying to invite a head coach was directly rejected.

Now this happened to him.

Laporta believes that attracting Wansheng in the name of Barcelona is what he should have done. He even thought that Wansheng should come to Barcelona to coach, just like the media said, Wansheng's coaching style Very suitable for Barcelona, ​​he is simply the best candidate for Barcelona next season, the coach God arranged for Barcelona.

But the result didn't seem to go in the direction he thought, and the other party directly refused... refused?

Laporta suddenly felt a sense of humiliation!

Although Barcelona lost 2-0 at home to Manchester City in the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona is a giant of the century and one of the most powerful clubs in the world. Than.

Reject Barcelona?

What the hell is going on in this young Chinese mind!

Laporta endured his anger and continued to persuade, "Wansheng, as far as I know, you haven't coached a giant before, right? For you, coaching Barcelona is an opportunity, and Barcelona is a real giant. , it's not comparable to Derby County and Manchester City at all!"

Laporta spoke in a proud tone because he believed Barcelona were the real giants.

Wan Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the other party's tone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Laporta, I don't think coaching Barcelona is any chance, if you think it is, then leave it to others. !"

Since becoming a real head coach and entering European football, Wansheng has felt too much arrogance from the proud club. Whether it is a giant from England, a giant from Italy, or the current Spanish giant, they all have a kind of arrogance.

Wan Sheng hated this feeling very much, because the other party's arrogance was directed at him.

It was as if he got a gift when he went to coach, but on the contrary, Wan Sheng believed that it was a great luck for him to coach himself!

This is the sense of superiority of the giants!

It's a pity that Wansheng is very unhappy with this kind of premonition!

He doesn't understand the superiority of a team that is about to be defeated, just because they have been brilliant before?

No, brilliance can be fought for by yourself!

The other party has a glorious history, and that's not his own, so Wansheng doesn't want to coach a giant at all, unless... that giant belongs to him, Barcelona is definitely impossible, Wansheng finally gave a very definite answer, "La Mr. Porta, let me tell you this, no matter how good the conditions you offer or the sincerity of your invitation, I will not go to coach, goodbye!"

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Hearing Wan Sheng's last sentence, Laporta was very annoyed, and he roared angrily, "This damn Chinese! Damn! How dare he look down on Barcelona! What right does he have to say that! What right does he have? !"

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Laporta angrily said to his assistant, "I want him to know that I look down on Barcelona's fate, I must! I must!"

"Go tell Frank, if you can't win this game, go back to Holland!"

————

Rijkaard was notified by the club.

Laporta's message to him was 'must win'. He didn't know why the president was so angry, he thought it was because he was dissatisfied with his coaching performance.

In the Netherlands, this is actually quite normal. This season, the team has achieved nothing in leagues and cups, and lost two more clasicos. The only thing they can count on is the Champions League.

The Champions League is not only the club's hope, but also his own hope. The Dutch know very well that if he cannot lead the team to win the Champions League, he will definitely be kicked out of the club.

As a head coach who led Barcelona to the 2006 European Championship, being kicked out sounds a bit tragic, but the football world is like this. When the team's performance is poor, it will be accepted by the club and the fans.

Barcelona is going through a period of turmoil. It will take at least one season to stabilize this period. Only the championship can speed up the process. Therefore, there is no pressure from the club's top management. Rijkaard also knows that he is the first Must lead the team to the Champions League final.

It's not easy.

Manchester City took two goal difference from the Camp Nou in the first leg, and the team needs at least a 2-0 score in the second leg to have any chance of winning.

This is quite a demanding reversal!

Fortunately, there are no different voices within Barcelona. At the crucial moment of the Champions League semi-final, every player is working hard to reach the final.

So Rijkaard also broke the boat and made a vow before the game, "We will definitely try to complete the reversal at Manchester Stadium and eliminate them!"

The Dutchman's words did not get much response, that is, the Catalan media reported the fighting spirit of the entire Barcelona team, because Manchester City also focused on the Champions League semi-finals, and they still have two away goals. huge advantage.

In the face of Rijkaard's 'provocative' remarks, Wan Sheng also shot back, "Oh? Rijkaard said his team was trying to come back? Then I'll let them know, how did Barcelona have no chance to come back? of!"

————

Wansheng's very affirmative words hurt the hearts of many Spanish media who had hope for Barcelona to advance to the final, and even made some of them angry!

"Aspen" expressed its opinion, "This Chinese is so arrogant and arrogant that he thinks that Barcelona has no chance at all. Seeing the continuous victory, he has already passed out his head."

"We are very happy to see this, it means that Barcelona has a better chance of completing the reversal!"

At the same time, there are also many English media who worry that Wansheng's 'arrogant' attitude will anger Barcelona, ​​causing the 'Dream Second Team' to perform at a super-level and really complete the reversal at the Manchester Stadium.

After all, that's Barcelona!

Barcelona, ​​a giant of the century, will not be surprised what kind of game they will play if they are "crazy".

But Wan Sheng knew in his heart that no matter what he said or did a lot, it was impossible to wipe out Barcelona's fighting spirit to complete the reversal.

This is the semi-final of the Champions League. It is not an ordinary league. No matter what team, it will definitely do its best. It doesn't matter what they say or do before the game. Why should he endure the opponent's arrogance?

more importantly……

MD, Lao Tzu won 2-0 in the first round, isn't Lao Tzu arrogant? You guys are two goals behind, what's there to be arrogant about?

He just can't stand this kind of arrogance!

After the head coaches of the two sides exchanged a few words in the air, they were all busy preparing for the game, and only the media on both sides kept saying that no other players were involved.

They put all their energy into preparing for the battle.

Soon the game will come.

On this day, the Manchester Stadium was overcrowded, and every Manchester City fan was looking forward to the team's Champions League match, because in the history of Manchester City, they have never made any breakthroughs in the Champions League. Entering the semi-finals has already made history, but no one fan is against it. Satisfied with this.

As a team that has won the league championship for three consecutive years, only by winning another UEFA Champions League can the team's brilliance be highlighted!

Manchester City fans were extremely enthusiastic. As early as ten minutes before the start of the game, after they all entered the field, they began to frantically cheer for the team.

This atmosphere is good for Manchester City.

Every Manchester City player can get a lot of welcome from the fans. On the contrary, every player in Barcelona has received a lot of 'boos'.

Especially...Messi.

Now the Argentine genius has felt the price of being a top star.

Before the first leg between Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​Messi was the focus of discussion. Compared with Morris, he has a more focused "taste" because he is very young and everyone is optimistic about his future.

The first leg was a tragedy for Messi.

In the 90 minutes of the game, he didn't have any good performance, and he was always restricted.

When Messi came out, the Manchester City fans made a laughing sound, which was very harsh in Messi's ears.

Messi secretly gritted his teeth and vowed to do his best to fight back all the doubts and disdain, but what he didn't see was the "smile" in the eyes of the young Chinese coach staring at the Manchester City coach.

That 'smile' must have a meaning.

If Messi saw it, maybe he should think about how to perform normally, rather than trying to prove something.

————

In this game, Wansheng continued to arrange the defense against Messi.

With the previous defense experience, Manchester City players have a lot of experience in defending Messi. They all know that this young Barcelona star is very afraid of strong physical collision and confrontation.

This may also be a common problem for Spanish league players.

The confrontation between the Spanish league and the Premier League is quite different, so the Spanish team and the English team are worse in terms of confrontation. Messi is also a special one, because he has just been affected by injuries this season. Scared of getting hurt.

New professional players, after the first injury, will have some problems in their hearts. It’s not a big deal to say it. The key is that Messi is the core player of Barcelona, ​​and Manchester City focuses on defending him.

So the problem is enlarged.

If Manchester City didn't defend against Messi, maybe the Argentine boy could still perform very well, but there is no 'if' on the football field. If you don't defend Messi, the game will not be easy to win. Wansheng must let the team do it.

With the experience of the last game, Manchester City also know how to play.

That is, according to the tactics of the previous game, to stabilize the team and play defensive counterattacks.

Manchester City are not in a hurry because they have a two-goal advantage and Barcelona have to attack, albeit away from home.

The active and passive nature of the two teams is already obvious.

On the game scene, Barcelona are actively attacking, but they are very passive in the overall situation, because they are "passive" even in attack. If you want to complete the reversal, you can't think too much, and it is necessary to focus on attacking.

But this kind of attack, under the strict defense of Manchester City, is difficult to have much effect. (To be continued ~^~)
