Chapter 1031: Nobody

"Is there no definite news about our coach selection for the new season?"

In Jingcheng Guoen's post bar, a friend posted such a worry-filled post, which immediately attracted hundreds of replies and attracted the attention of fans in the post bar.

"Yes, there is still no news."

"I went over the wall to take a look outside, and found that many foreign media are also paying attention, but there is still no definite news. I guess the club should still be in the process of selection."

"It's not easy to choose a head coach, especially the head coach of the Chinese Super League. We look down on those with low cards, and probably don't want to come if they have big cards. Therefore, this kind of thing is very entangled."

"Well, actually, I really think it would be pretty good if we keep Manzano."

"Yes, I also think that Manzano played well last season and has experience in coaching the Chinese Super League. The strength of the team has improved significantly. I believe the level of coaching will definitely improve."

"Manzano...It's a pity that he went to Longhai Shenhua, but it's no wonder the new team, after all, this decision was made at the end of the season, and now the new team urgently invites a coach, which is considered hasty Bar."

"This summer, the team signed a lot of recruits, and the team's strength has improved, but the management has become more difficult. If it weren't for the big-name coaches, I'm afraid it might not be able to hold down this vote of European stars."

"Isn't there Bielsa here? In terms of big names, who can compare to Bielsa in today's football?"

"If you want me to say, just let Bielsa directly serve as the head coach."

"You think so, and the management team probably thinks the same way, but Bielsa has already said that after leaving the Saints coach, he will **** research and come out to coach when he is in the mood , Now I have never thought of coaching Guoen at all."

"Besides, he came to Guoen because of the face of Young Master Huan. He came to help rectify the youth training. The focus is on the youth training system. Generally, he will not easily intervene in the affairs of the first team."

At this time, a senior bar friend followed up and expressed his views on the incident.

"That's right, I really think that Guoen's current management structure is more rigorous and more reasonable, but I don't know why, but now I hope that he will not be so reasonable and let Bielsa directly manage the team, that would be great."

"From my recent analysis, combined with some words of President Fang, Bielsa and others in public interviews,

I think the team is indeed playing a big game now, why do you say that? "

"First of all, I think the team's current goal is to unify the style of the first team and the youth academy, and Bielsa also said that the tactics of the first team will go further on the basis of the past and incorporate more advanced tactics. concepts, such as high-ranking oppression."

"From this point of view, I think that the coaches such as Benitez, Mazzarri, and Prandelli rumored by the media are indeed famous coaches, but they are not suitable for the development direction of the team."

"However, we should also see that in European football, many teams are pursuing this type of coach, so Guardiola is so favored. In this case, the selection of the Guoen team is naturally It is very difficult, but once you choose the right one, basically you will not change easily, after all, it is not easy to find this type of good coach.”

"I searched with Football Manager's scouting tool, and found that this type of head coach is basically a famous flower. It is not easy to invite them to coach the Chinese Super League."

"So, how it works and who to choose is really impossible to know."

"I believe that with Master Yihuan's connections and reputation in European football, there should be better choices."

The long analysis by this senior bar friend immediately won the unanimous appreciation and affirmation of bar friends.

But when it comes to which head coach will be introduced, no one in the post bar that has attracted the attention of nearly a million fans has always been able to give an answer, because they simply cannot get news from within the club.

The biggest piece of news is that a relative of a bar friend works in the Beijing Guoen team, saying that Master Huan is in charge of the selection of coaches. This is the closest news to the truth that everyone in the post bar can get.

All the friends are very anxious, because there is not much time left before the start of the league, the team training is approaching, but the coach has not yet done it at this time, it is really hard to rest assured.

In addition, although the foreign aid has brought in Terry and Kaka, the two superstars, it has not been able to make up for the weak offensive end of the Guoen team, especially the two superstar signings promised by the club. negotiated.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the post bar is generally pessimistic, for fear that the team will fly again.

However, there are also a group of diehard fans of Huan Huan who believe that with Huan Huan's consistent style, it is impossible to break his word. The team's recruitment and coaching need to be done step by step, and it cannot be done overnight, so we must wait patiently.

It was at this time that someone suddenly posted a post in the post bar.

"Oh my God, Guoen officials announced that the signing of the new coach is actually unknown?"

Countless bar friends clicked into the post, and found that there were not only freshly released screenshots from the official website of Jingcheng Guoen, which stated that Jingcheng Guoen officially signed the Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino.

For a while, the post bar went crazy!

"Who is Pochettino?"

"What is the origin of this guy, I have never heard of it?"

"It seems familiar. Have you ever coached La Liga before?"

"When you say that, I remember it. It seems to be, but I can't remember it."

"I specifically googled it. Pochettino, 43 years old, Bielsa's disciple, the peak of his coaching career was coaching the Spaniard. He performed well at one time, but he was dismissed soon because of poor grades. The performance of the three teams is not satisfactory, and they are currently at home."

"Oh my god, can't it? Just such a coach? It can't be a fool, right?"

"Isn't it? After choosing and choosing, you actually chose an unknown person?"

"My God, don't you bring such a joker?"

"What's the matter with Master Huan? You chose such an unknown person?"

"In my opinion, keeping Manzano, or simply choosing Benitez, Mazzarri and others are better than him!"

However, some people in the post bar also came out to protest.

"Since the coach was personally selected by Master Huan, I believe there will be no problem. Master Huan must have made the decision after careful consideration."

"Yes, Du Niang also said, Bielsa's disciples, it can be seen that they should be carefully selected."

"Who was the last disciple of Bielsa? Martino, who led Monaco to upgrade and entered the Champions League in the newly promoted season, is now coaching the Argentine national team!"

"It makes sense, Bielsa's product must be a boutique!"

"Wrong, the one upstairs should be produced by Master Huan, it must be a high-quality product!"

…………

In less than a day, Pochettino, an unfamiliar name, swept across China with lightning speed and became a popular term on the Internet and in newspapers and magazines.

Mauricio Pochettino, a young coach who was previously unknown, suddenly became the coach of the Beijing Guoen team, which is simply unbelievable.

However, whenever the Chinese Super League teams invite foreign teachers, they basically choose famous coaches, especially in recent years, if they have not coached in the European first-tier leagues and have achieved certain results, they would be ashamed to come to the Chinese Super League.

But Pochettino is not only young, but also has a very mediocre resume. Even the teams he has coached basically ended in failure. The longest time was when he coached the Spaniard.

Such a head coach is worthy of the star-studded Beijing Guoen?

Compared with other teams in the Super League, Lippi, Scolari, Eriksson and other world-class coaches, Pochettino is too shabby, right?

What's interesting is that the fans were having fun, but the mainstream media were more cautious.

Among them, Dianqiudi, who is popular among domestic fans, even launched a long article introducing Pochettino.

"After learning that Jingcheng Guoen signed Pochettino, Lao Qiu immediately contacted several colleagues in the Spanish football world. When they heard that Pochettino chose the Super League team, they were all shocked. Everyone Impossible, but once I heard that it was Young Master Huan's team, I immediately felt relieved."

"According to what my colleagues in Spain told me, although Pochettino's coaching performance in La Liga is not very satisfactory, his reputation is extraordinary. When everyone mentions him, he will say that this is a talented head coach. , It's a pity that luck is a little bit worse."

"As everyone knows, Pochettino's coaching philosophy is very similar to Bielsa's. The first stop of his coaching career was the Espanyol, but what many people don't know is that Pochettino is zero eight zero. In the ninth season, when the previous team had three wins, three draws and seven losses, and the transitional coach Mani had two draws and three losses, the Spaniard was deeply in the relegation zone."

"And Pochettino took over the team's first game as a star of the team, and lost to Malaga 0-4 in the away game, which became the biggest loss for the Spaniard that season, and also made Pochettino suffer. There was a lot of pressure."

"After that, the team drew one to one for three consecutive rounds, and then lost to Sevilla at home. The Spaniard suffered a tragic 14-match winless, and to make matters worse, the Spaniard ushered in the mighty Barcelona at this time. .”

"Yes, it is the dream team led by Guardiola that won the Grand Slam."

"Barcelona was invincible at that time. Except for the away loss to Numancia in the first round of the league, in the remaining 23 games, Guardiola's team had 20 wins and 3 draws, remaining unbeaten!"

"Two rivals in the same city, one is a star-studded, invincible top giants, while the other is a mediocre relegation team hovering in the relegation zone, and it is in the Nou Camp. , Pochettino's team will suffer a disastrous defeat."

"The result was a surprise, with Mauricio Pochettino's team coming home with a 2-1 victory away from home."

"Not only in the league, but in the Copa del Rey, when the Spaniard faced Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the two rounds, Pochettino's team first drew Barcelona 0-0 at home, and then lost 2-3, which is regrettable. Go to Camp Nou."

"Pochettino's team was behind zero to three, crushing Barcelona in a very embarrassing situation, and scored two goals in a row. In the end, if it weren't for the defender receiving a red card, would Pochettino's team be able to upset the away game? It's still unknown."

"And it really upset the Spaniard, where did Barcelona's Dream Three Dynasties and the Grand Slam come from?"

"Obviously these games have greatly stimulated Pochettino. Although the results of the Espanyol team have not improved after that, this smart Argentine coach has been groping. In the last ten rounds of the league, the Espanyol finally There was an explosion."

"Eight wins, one draw and one loss in ten games, Pochettino's team not only managed to avoid relegation, but also climbed to the middle of the standings in one breath. Pochettino also won attention and attention by virtue of his outstanding performance during this period. affim."

"In the next two seasons, due to the overall strength of the Spaniard, Pochettino's coaching performance was not outstanding, but he ensured that the team's ranking was in the middle. In the game against Barcelona."

"Camp Nou lost 0-1, sitting at home and standing 0-0. This is Pochettino's record against the mighty peak Barcelona, ​​and even won the affirmation of coach Guardiola."

"So much so that Guardiola himself admitted that the game against the Spaniard was the toughest. Pochettino is a very good coach, and later he also said that he hopes that Barcelona can play as beautifully and smoothly as the Spaniard. , and at the same time a dynamic style of football."

"From Guardiola's evaluation and Bielsa's affirmation, it is not difficult for us to find that Pochettino is not as mediocre as his coaching performance shows. On the contrary, he looks more like a young coach who is underappreciated. .”

Knowing the ball is not just an article like this, but also translated news reports from many Spanish newspapers and consulted some Spanish football insiders.

It was only at this time that everyone quietly realized that despite Pochettino's lack of fame, he was highly regarded in the Spanish football circle. There were even some famous coaches who regretted what happened to him in recent years and believed that he was quite capable. of a coach.

The official of Jingcheng Guoen also made an explanation, saying that the team's signing of Pochettino was a deliberate decision, which can be seen from Pochettino's three-year coaching contract.

"We have said that once the head coach is selected, we will not easily shake our confidence in him. Pochettino is the choice we make now!"

With Fang Wei's eloquent statement, although the controversy about Pochettino is still great, it is already firmly established.

That is, at this press conference that publicly supported Pochettino, Fang Wei once again announced the new progress of the team's transfer and signings.
