Eight Hundred and Forty-Five, Leave!
"I decided to leave Barcelona!"
After the game, Gao Shen entertained Guardiola in the meeting room of the Etihad Stadium.
The total score of the two rounds was seven to zero. This is definitely not a reflection of the strength of the two sides. It is more of a gap between the two teams' impromptu performance in the two rounds and the coach's formation.
This made the two of them silent for a while, not knowing what to say.
After being silent for a while, Guardiola finally broke the silence.
But the Barcelona coach's words surprised Gao Shen.
He originally thought that his appearance would change history, because before Guardiola vowed to compete with him in La Liga, the Barcelona coach was full of ambitions, but now...
At this moment, Guardiola seemed to be in a slump, obviously not as energetic as in the past.
"When was it decided?" Gao Shen asked.
He didn't ask the reason, because it involved the professional ethics of the head coach. He asked, but Guardiola didn't answer, and the two would be very embarrassed. Answered, and violated the confidentiality agreement.
But he could guess some.
There are no impenetrable walls in this world.
Guardiola turned his head, looked deeply at this close friend who was both a teacher and a friend, and smiled: "Do you think that I made the decision after losing the two rounds?"
Gao Shen smiled, he knew it wasn't, but he couldn't answer that way.
"Actually, I thought about it a long time ago."
Guardiola said lightly, seeing a bottle of red wine on the table next to him, he also took it honestly, picked up the corkscrew and did it without even asking.
They have won seven to zero, so don't you even want to give them a bottle of wine?
Gao Shen can't afford to lose this person!
There was a bang, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
Even though Gao Shen didn't drink at all, he still couldn't help swallowing when he smelled the aroma of the wine.
This is the high-end Chilean wine produced by his company. At present, the domestic sales are rising steadily, and the prospect is very gratifying.
Ferguson tasted it and appreciated it.
In addition, the company has recently been operating wine business in regions such as Australia and Spain, but these are currently left to professional managers.
"This wine is good." After taking a big sip, Guardiola clicked his tongue twice and praised.
"If you like it, I'll send someone to send you a box later." Gao Shen was bold.
Of course, his wine can't be taken for nothing, right?
Guardiola was also welcome, and accepted all the orders.
"Have you ever wondered how people go from full of enthusiasm to gradually becoming flat, boring, or even boring?"
Gao Shen pondered for a while, then shook his head, this is a very philosophical question.
He usually doesn't bother with this kind of thinking.
"You know, I'm a very emotional person. The reason why I chose to return to Barcelona is because there are a group of friends here, such as Begiristain, Soriano, and I have a good relationship with Laporta. .”
Gao Shen nodded. At the beginning, he was very clear about the whole process of Guardiola's return to Barcelona.
"But you know, after Laporta stepped down, everything changed. Friends around me, one after another, left one after another. Some people left in a way that even I couldn't stand it."
"But, I can't do anything about it. Can you understand that feeling?"
Deep understanding, of course,
Because in his previous life, when he was in a business, he encountered similar situations quite often.
This feeling is really helpless and depressing.
It's a bit like the feeling of being emptied step by step, but it's helpless.
"You found the problem in our Barcelona team, right?" Guardiola looked at Gao Shen and asked.
Gao Shen nodded, "Some are old, some are slack, and some are bored..."
"Yeah, we've been at the top for three years, and this season we're down, which is good, because we've reached three Champions League finals in three years, but honestly, I think we could have done better. "
"It's like these two rounds of competition. In fact, we may not have the strength to fight, but in the end we lost such a disastrous defeat..."
Guardiola didn't finish his sentence, but it could be seen that he was very aggrieved.
The total score is seven to zero, which is indeed not a reflection of Barcelona's true strength.
How did it get kicked out?
If you use conspiracy theory, you can even suspect that someone in the locker room wants to get rid of Guardiola.
But that's not realistic.
That's the problem with the Barcelona players.
With Barcelona's strength, even if there is a problem with Guardiola's tactics, it will never be so outrageously defeated.
But it just shows up, and that makes for food for thought.
There are many things that Guardiola cannot say.
This is the rule of European football.
Such as what happened in the dressing room, as the management said, and the conflicts that occurred within the club...
All of this cannot be said.
Whoever said that would not be able to get along in this line of work.
This is actually a very good tacit understanding of secrecy.
If it is leaked, it is likely to cause chaos in European football in the end.
Which team does not sign?
Which teams have no conflicts with their players?
In European football, you have to abide by this set of rules.
...
Guardiola is not a drinker, but he drank three glasses in one go today.
Three full cups.
This made him look faintly drunk, and it also made him say a lot.
For example, envy and so on.
In fact, he and Gao Shen are both teachers and friends, but if there is no comparison, it is impossible.
Compete in the same field, who doesn't want to win?
Looking at today's European football, who doesn't want to step on Gao Shen?
Not to mention other things, just the Premier League, how many head coaches, after winning a Gaoshen game, immediately felt like celebrating a festival and publicized it all over the world?
Guardiola is no exception, he also wants to win.
To use a cliché: the best way to pay tribute to Gao Shen is to kill him!
Gao Shen is also used to it.
Guardiola is not the first, nor will he be the last.
"Have you thought about where to go?" Gao Shen asked suddenly.
Guardiola raised his head, looked deeply at Gao Shen, and asked, "Take your class?"
Gao Shen didn't answer, it was a tacit agreement.
Guardiola is recommendable if he wants to.
He believes that Manchester City must also have ideas in this regard, but they haven't done it yet.
Because Gao Shen is still the head coach of Manchester City, this is a kind of respect.
"Don't be funny, if you really won the quadruple championship this season, you said that it is appropriate for me to take over at this time?"
Guardiola is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is smarter than anyone else.
If Manchester City really wins the quadruple crown, Guardiola will be coached, no matter whether he performs well or not, he will be compared with Gao Shen, and no matter how he compares, he will lose.
Manchester City performed well because Gao Shen laid a solid foundation for him. The entire team's tactical framework and lineup were built by Gao Shen. Guardiola stood under the tree of Gao Shen to enjoy the shade.
And once Manchester City does not perform well, I'm sorry, it's Guardiola's fault.
People can win four championships under the leadership of Gao Shen, why can't you do it?
What is not trash?
Therefore, at this time, taking over Manchester City is definitely the most thankless job in the world.
Gao Shen smiled, in fact, if it was him, he would not come to pick up this hot potato.
"Then what are your plans next?"
Guardiola thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it, you know, I have been busy in the past, and I have no time to think about these things at all. I really don't know what to do."
Highly understandable.
When a person is used to being busy and suddenly decides to take a break, he will always become overwhelmed.
"Think slowly, but don't think too long, you know, after leaving this industry for a long time, it's easy to lose track of it." Gao Shen reminded.
Guardiola understands that this is a kind reminder from a high level.
The competitive pressure in European football has caused the head coach to evolve himself almost every year, and his skills and tactics are changing and improving every year.
If a head coach leaves the front line for a long time, he will really be unable to keep up.
There is another problem, which is the team.
Every head coach will have his own set of fixed teams, and Guardiola is no exception.
As the head coach, he has no worries about food and clothing. If he has money, he can be self-willed, work if he wants to work, and rest if he doesn't want to work. But the assistant team under him can't be so willful. They all need to make money to support their families.
If a head coach leaves for too long, the assistant team will find their way out, and it will not be easy to form again.
Why did Ranieri find a fitness coach without a coaching certificate to coach Juventus?
To put it bluntly, his team broke up.
"Stop talking, I'm leaving first."
Guardiola stood up, turned around suddenly, and took away the unfinished bottle of red wine on the table, "Remember to send me a box."
Gao Shen nodded in agreement.
This kind of thing, he will definitely not forget.
"Also, come on, don't lose!"
If Manchester City keeps winning, then Guardiola will feel better in his heart.
After all, he lost to the champion, and it was the first champion to successfully defend the title since the restructuring of the Champions League.
That's a pity, but it's not too bad after all.
But if Manchester City also lost, the situation would be different.
...
After Gao Shen sent Guardiola away with a wry smile on his face, he did not leave immediately, but sat there thinking about some problems.
Regarding Guardiola's departure from Barcelona, Gao Shen was actually mentally prepared.
He guessed it when he saw the big list.
Guardiola's formation in this game is more like anger, as if to say: I will listen to you how you want me to line up, but please open your eyes and take a closer look, listen to you, How will the team lose?
And after doing this, he really couldn't stay in Barcelona.
Whether he wins or loses, there is only one ending for him.
leave!
At this time, Gao Shen suddenly remembered a sentence.
The outcome of a game is often decided the moment players from both sides walk into the field.
After a helpless smile, he took out his mobile phone, called Mubarak, disclosed to him the news that Guardiola planned to leave Barcelona, and told him.
"I can say with absolute certainty that he will be the most suitable head coach for Manchester City!"
As for whether Manchester City's management can persuade Guardiola, and how to persuade Guardiola, this is beyond Gao Shen's control.
Another thing that Gao Shen couldn't control was that after the Champions League quarter-finals knockout match, the quarter-finals successfully defeated Benfica's Manchester United, and a piece of news suddenly broke out.
Ferguson is in big trouble!
