Three Hundred and Sixty First Mourinho: I Refuse to Accept!
Rijkaard is out of class!
This is actually not a piece of news, but old news that everyone has known for a long time.
As early as a long time ago, the Spanish media had already received rumors that Rijkaard would leave after the end of the season.
Since losing to the sophisticated Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final, and since Ten Carter left, Barcelona's performance has gone from bad to worse, getting worse year by year. Last season, it was reduced to third in the league, which is better than the second Villa. Rael is ten less.
Western Super League duo?
Is Barcelona still worthy of the Western Super League duo?
Not only are the Barcelona fans full of anger, but even the Barcelona management feels the mountain of pressure.
A coaching change is inevitable, and Rijkaard chose to leave by himself, but it was the best choice.
At least, each other has respect, isn't it?
But after the black swan leaves, who will be the next helm of Camp Nou?
The media are also scrambling to report, from Mourinho who is at home, to the Spaniard's coach Ernesto Valverde, to Villarreal's coach Manuel Pellegrini, followed by Laudrup and Gua Diola.
All of them are Barcelona legends or world famous coaches.
After the Serie A league came to an end, there was a name that kept appearing on the pages of the Spanish media, which was linked to the name of Barcelona, and that was the head coach of the Serie A double champion Naples, Gao Shen!
Regarding Gao Shen, the Barcelona media and fans are very contradictory.
As the Daily Sports Daily said, if Gao Shen can coach Barcelona, they will support 100%, but if Gao Shen is Barcelona's opponent, then he will definitely be the most hated object by the Barcelona media and fans.
The reason is simple, he once brought extremely painful memories to Barcelona.
If there were still people who were worried about the high level of coaching before, then now, after the amazing achievements of Naples, especially after winning the approval of all the head coaches in a tactical kingdom like Italy, the high level of coaching is no longer acceptable. questioned.
If his coaching level is not good, then what are the Italian coaches?
If Italy's famous coaches are nothing, what about the coaches of other leagues?
...
This is a very long high-level meeting.
Hosted by Chairman Laporta, England, the vice-chairman in charge of sports affairs, Soriano, the vice-chairman in charge of finance, Begiristain, the technical director, and Cruyff, the honorary chairman of the club...
All the bigwigs of the Barcelona club gathered together to seriously discuss and study the new coach of Barcelona.
First of all, Laporta confirmed that Rijkaard is a thing of the past.
What Barcelona needs to do now is to select a coach as soon as possible to lead the team out of the predicament, especially the transfer and signings plan this summer.
The team management has already set a transfer strategy early on, sending away a group of players who are not suitable to stay in the team.
Such as Ronaldinho, Deco, Edmilson, Thuram and Zambrotta.
These are the top names in European football, but unfortunately, they are either old or in poor condition.
All in all, it is no longer in line with Barcelona's future plans.
After selling someone, it is natural to sign in.
Fabregas, Alves and others are all goals that Barcelona's management has finalized early.
But for a further transfer strategy, we still need to hear what the new head coach means.
Therefore, before that, the most important thing is to establish a new coach.
...
"I think among these people, Laudrup and Valverde can give up first."
Begiristan is the team's technical director, and his opinion should be considered the most when changing coaches.
In fact, if you look at the coaching performance alone, Valverde and Laudrup do not meet the requirements of Barcelona.
At least, the conditions in all aspects are much inferior.
Especially in front of Gao Shen, Mourinho and Pellegrini.
As for Guardiola, he can basically be regarded as running with him.
"Pep recommended Gao Shen to me,
He believes that Gao Shen has a very advanced football philosophy, advocates offensive football, and is good at training young players, has his own uniqueness in the control of the locker room, and has a group of very good assistants. "
"More importantly, after experiencing the tempering of Serie A, he believes that the advanced football concept is more balanced and he plays more holistically. He is the most suitable head coach for our Barcelona now."
As soon as Begiristan finished speaking, everyone present started talking.
Gao Shen's name is really loud!
After helping Real Madrid win the double crown, Gao Shen became famous, but in the first season of coaching Naples, he encountered a lot of doubts, but a year later, he led Naples to win the Serie B championship as a newly promoted team, promoted to Into Serie A, followed by a newly promoted miracle in Serie A.
It can be said that the current Gao Shen is definitely the hottest coach in European football.
More importantly, his offensive football philosophy is very suitable for Barcelona.
Even Thiago Motta played under Gao Shen and performed very well.
This also proves that Gao Shen can play Barcelona's fourth-position tactics.
If it was before, everyone would still have doubts, but now, after Gao Shen was released, basically no one would object.
Including Laporta.
"After Mourinho's contact, what do you say?" The Barcelona chairman asked with concern. Gu Lai
Mourinho was recommended by him, just as Cruyff recommended Valverde, everyone will recommend their favorite goals, and then put them together for discussion and negotiation.
After Laporta's recommendation, Begiristan also attached great importance to it. It happened that Mourinho was at home, so they made an appointment with Mourinho and met in Portugal.
"He submitted to me a plan for team formation, which also gave some good suggestions for the current situation of our team, but after in-depth exchanges with him, I was a little worried."
"Worried about what?" Laporta asked.
"Mourinho has always attached great importance to defense, and the training of offense has never been his strong point. Although he has worked in Barcelona for many years, in fact, the team he brought out does not have much Barcelona style. It's four-three-three."
Everyone also nodded.
Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have a common feature, which is to insist on offensive football and technical football.
But these two aspects are actually what Mourinho is not good at.
"I also think that it is not appropriate for Mourinho to coach." Cruyff also said.
"When choosing a head coach, we should choose someone who can fit in with the team's philosophy and traditions, not who is famous. I also talked to Valverde, and he also gave a detailed plan and suggestion. Very targeted."
Just when everyone thought that Cruyff would insist on recommending Valverde, the godfather of Barcelona changed his subject, "But I have to say that compared with Gao Shen, the head coach of Naples will be more suitable."
Everyone was surprised.
Unexpectedly, Cruyff would recommend Gao Shen.
Could it be because he went to Naples to watch the 5-0 victory over Inter Milan?
...
After Cruyff spoke, the situation has actually become clearer.
There are four truly competitive head coaches: Gao Shen, Mourinho, Pellegrini and Guardiola.
But when it comes to the status of European football, it is obvious that both Pellegrini and Guardiola have to step down, especially Guardiola, who is a superb assistant.
Even, Guardiola has made it clear to Cruyff and Begiristain that if Gao Shen coaches the Barcelona first team, he is willing to serve as Gao Shen's assistant coach.
"Okay, let's vote now." Laporta said, "Those who support advanced, please raise your hands."
As soon as Laporta finished speaking, Begiristan, Soriano, England and others all raised their hands. Cruyff also immediately raised their hands, and finally only Laporta remained.
But the Barcelona president hesitated for a moment, seeing that everyone raised their hands, he also raised their hands.
"Unanimously passed!" Laporta signaled everyone to put down.
"Okay, Tesiki, it's up to you to get in touch with Gao Shen and convince him to take charge of our Barcelona!"
Begiristan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will take Pep with me. I believe Gao Shen will not refuse."
Everyone also felt that it should be so.

…………
After the meeting, the news spread from the Nou Camp immediately.
Within an hour, Jose Mourinho in Portugal heard the outcome of the meeting from agent Jorge Mendes.
He, the coveted Barcelona coach, lost it!
Mourinho was originally determined to win this position. He even prepared a lot in private, but he didn't expect that he lost!
"Who? Tell me, Jorge, who did they choose?" Mourinho was a little crazy.
He entered Barcelona as an interpreter back then, so he was very eager to take charge of Barcelona as the head coach. For him, it was tantamount to returning home.
But who would have thought that the winner was already in his hands, but now he lost.
He really wanted to know, who did he lose to?
"Gao Shen!" Mendes said helplessly, "Barcelona is applying for visas for Soriano, Begiristan and Guardiola to go to China. They will use a three-person selection team to go to China and negotiate with Gao Shen."
"It's really him!" Mourinho said through gritted teeth.
As early as when Gao Shen was still in charge of Real Madrid, Mourinho had heard of him, but he had never met him on the court.
Now, he actually led Naples to perform the miracle of a newly promoted horse winning the championship, and became famous in the entire European football world.
"Actually, not only Barcelona, but also Inter Milan, consisting of vice-chairman Angelo Moratti, technical director Branca and chairman consultant Oriali, also went to China and met with Gao Shen."
After a pause, Mendes said with some disappointment: "It is said that Inter Milan's first choice is also Gao Shen!"
"What the hell!" Mourinho couldn't bear it anymore when he heard the end, and cursed directly.
"How can that kid be?"
He refuses to accept it!
Who is he?
Jose Mourinho!
How could he lose to a twenty-seven-year-old boy?
This is absolutely impossible!
"Gao Shen, you'd better not touch me, otherwise..." Mourinho gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.
