Chapter 652 Guardiola's Call

The national football team returned to Beijing from Sydney, Australia, and was warmly welcomed by fans at the airport.

Although it is only a promotion to the top ten, for Chinese fans, this is already a pretty good result.

At the very least, before Yang Yang's return, the Chinese team suffered two consecutive draws, and the national public opinion has always been bad. At that time, many people even thought that even if Yang Yang returned, the national football team could not be saved.

But the facts have proved that Yang Yang's return has greatly improved the attacking power of the national football team, which in turn has brought about an improvement in performance.

Because of this, Yang Yang was praised by people all over the country, and at the same time attracted a large number of fans to come to the airport to greet them. They greeted the national football team as if they were welcoming those soldiers who had won and returned triumphantly.

Yang Yang bears the brunt and is undoubtedly the most popular international football player.

...

After returning to Beijing, the national football team was disbanded immediately.

But Yang Yang was left alone to meet with the leaders of the Football Association, the General Administration of Sport and the Olympic Committee, and was accompanied by the German coach of the Olympic team, Klauschen.

This meeting was mainly due to the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games in August.

This is the first Olympic Games in Chinese history. In the past few years, all major events in the Chinese sports world have revolved around this grand event, and it is no exaggeration to say that the whole country is devoted to hosting this grand event.

The Olympic men's football team has always been a popular event in the Olympic Games, but unfortunately, the Chinese men's football team cannot give people confidence.

This time, the purpose of the leaders meeting with Yang Yang is to hope that he can find time to come back to participate in the Olympic Games.

With Yang Yang's status and influence today, as well as the strength he has shown, if he is willing to return to China to play in the Olympic Games, it will undoubtedly give the national Olympic team more confidence.

At least, in the World Youth Championship three years ago, Yang Yang led the team to win the championship.

The Olympic men's football is also a youth team event, but in such events, the individual ability of the players can often play an important role.

"As far as we know, Ronaldinho, Messi and Aguero have all decided to participate. Among them, Ronaldinho is participating as an overage player." Clausen obviously attaches great importance to it. Whether Yang Yang will participate.

Yang Yang expressed his willingness to return to China without hesitation, but he will not participate in the national Olympic team's training camp, but will go directly to Europe to participate in the summer training camp, and then return to Beijing to gather with the national Olympic team before the competition.

Krautchen agrees with this.

This Olympic Games will still be based on the World Youth Championship team three years ago. There have been some changes. The main reason is that in the past three years, many players have sunk because of not being able to play, and will also appear. Several rookies.

As for the three overage players, the targets currently identified are Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi. If Yang Yang decides to participate, the third place will be given to Zhao Junzhe.

For this Olympics, I will not give any performance requirements to the men's football team. I just hope that at my doorstep, the results will not be too ugly, that's all.

Yang Yang was rather embarrassed about this, and at the same time was very puzzled.

In the World Youth Championship three years ago, the Chinese team played against teams such as Brazil, Argentina and Germany. Not to mention that it is not weak, but at least it has the strength to fight. But in the past three years, the Chinese team has played against its opponents. The power gap is becoming more and more obvious.

Just say Argentina.

The captain of that Argentina team was Zabaleta, who recently moved to Manchester City in the Premier League, and before going to Manchester City, he performed very well in La Liga Espanyol.

In contrast to the Chinese team, Feng Xiaoting also performed quite well in the World Youth Championship. Then he soon joined the Eredivisie and played for Feyenoord. At present, he has established a firm foothold and has become the main force, but from the speed of improvement. Looking at it, it is obvious that it can't keep up with Zabaleta.

Of course, individual strength does not mean everything, because if the winner can be determined only by the comparison of strength, then the football game will not be as full of suspense as it is now.

In the past three years, Chinese players have been studying abroad one after another, and their overall strength has also improved a lot. Players such as Feng Xiaoting, Gao Lin, Chen Tao, Zhou Haibin and other players have already established a firm foothold in the Eredivisie, Bi Liga and Portuguese Super League. Hao Junmin also has a good reputation in Hamburg. On the whole, the Chinese team still has a certain degree of competitiveness.

It's only when you're on the field that you know you've won or lost.

What's more, this time is China's home court.

…………

As soon as he returned home from the national team, Yang Yang received a call from Europe.

The unfamiliar number made him a little stunned, because not many wealthy people can get his phone number.

After answering the call, he introduced himself directly on the opposite side of the phone. He was Guardiola.

When he heard the name just now, Yang Yang was stunned for a moment. He didn't react immediately, but soon he let out a sigh, so frightened that Su Ye, who was sitting across from him eating, was also taken aback.

Yang Yang hurried to the living room so as not to be disturbed.

Guardiola, the legendary captain of Barcelona, ​​is also the new Barcelona coach who has just taken office.

In the original list of Barcelona coaches, Mourinho was the highest ranked. It was even rumored that it was a certainty that the Portuguese madman would enter the Nou Camp, but it was later said that it was because of Cruyff's opposition. can succeed.

Cruyff himself recommended Laudrup, who coached Getafe. The Danish coaching style has been affirmed by many people, and Cruyff has a pivotal right to speak in Barcelona.

In addition, Villarreal's Pellegrini and AC Milan's Ancelotti are all popular choices.

Among the five-person coach selection list, Guardiola's coaching resume is the worst, because he has no first-line coaching experience at all, and he coached Barcelona's second team to play in the lower leagues before, and his results were not eye-catching.

But no one knew what was going on, and Guardiola suddenly stood out as Barcelona's new coach.

Yang Yang was surprised that he did not expect Guardiola to call him.

...

Although the two have never played on the court, Guardiola said with a smile that he had watched a lot of Yang Yang's games, and he liked Yang Yang's style of playing on the court, as well as the desire and passion he showed.

"I know that many things have not been determined yet, but I called you today, just to tell you, I really, really hope to see you in my team, I believe, we will be together To be able to create a new pinnacle for Barcelona."

Yang Yang kept thanking him. He said that he is also full of admiration for Barcelona and also full of respect for Guardiola. He believes that playing in Barcelona will definitely be a very wonderful thing, and he also firmly believes that Guardiola can serve Barcelona. bring success.

The two had a cross-ocean phone call for about half an hour. Guardiola talked a lot about his thoughts on the team, his thoughts on team formation, and how he planned to play the role of Yang Yang.

From this phone call, Yang Yang could feel that Guardiola values ​​him, and he can be sure that Guardiola is a person who pays great attention to details. He was fully prepared before making this call.

Yang Yang was also very grateful for this, and couldn't stop thanking him.

But at the same time, he also noticed that Guardiola only talked about Yang Yang from the beginning to the end, at most the left back and the forward, but never mentioned Messi. Obviously, Guardiola, who was a professional player, knows very well that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. .

…………

…………

After hanging up Guardiola's call, Yang Yang was also agitated.

The same was true in the summer of 2006. At that time, he didn't know which team he was going to, and he was very upset, but then he finally came to Liverpool without any risk.

In the two years in Liverpool, except for the two unreasonable American bosses who dragged Liverpool into the debt quagmire for no reason, everything else went very smoothly, which also made Yang Yang very satisfied.

Now, once again, he faced a choice.

Yang Yang doesn't even have the mind to eat now. He went to the living room, opened his notebook, and checked the recent European football news. The most popular one was the transfer of Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo.

One is going to Barcelona and the other is going to Real Madrid. There is a lot of buzz in the media outside, but Yang Yang doesn't know what to do in his heart, and he doesn't know what will happen if he really goes to Barcelona.

The latest news is that Real Madrid President Calderon personally went to the European Cup to watch Portugal's game, and revealed that Real Madrid's psychological ceiling for Cristiano Ronaldo is 85 million euros.

According to the British media, Real Madrid made an offer of 85 million euros for the first time, but it was strictly rejected by Manchester United. Ferguson made it clear that he would not sell Ronaldinho this summer.

Ronaldinho has already played the European Cup, Portugal stopped in the quarter-finals and lost to Germany 2-3, and Ronaldinho will undergo ankle surgery after playing the European Cup.

This is actually not a big problem, and it doesn't even affect his participation in the competition. It is estimated that he will have to rest for a month and a half after the operation, which is completely in time for the new season.

As for Barcelona, ​​Guardiola is in the process of restructuring the team after taking over.

With Ronaldinho's transfer to AC Milan, a group of players such as Zambrotta, Edmilson, Deco, Oleg and others have been cleaned up, and the star of hope Dos Santos has also been sold. Premier League Tottenham, veteran Thuram also announced his retirement.

As for the signings, Barcelona moved very quickly. They brought in Pique from Manchester United, right-back Daniel Alves from Sevilla for 29 million euros, and then from Sevilla. Seydou Keita.

Several transfers were made to strengthen the team's midfield and backcourt weaknesses.

According to media reports, Barcelona is still actively in contact with Liverpool. The club’s technical director, Begiristan, frequently travels back and forth between Liverpool and Barcelona, ​​and is actively promoting this transfer.

The entire European football world is also watching.

Everyone knows that once Liverpool sells Yang Yang, it is bound to get a large transfer fee. At that time, Liverpool will definitely use the money to fill Yang Yang's vacancy. At that time, several blockbuster transfers will be made one after another, causing a chain reaction.

The whole transfer market is waiting.

However, Yang Yang himself felt as if he was suspended in mid-air.

It wasn't until Su Ye's hand lightly placed on his shoulder that he felt relieved for a while.

She has been standing silently behind him.
