Chapter 417 Cruyff’s approval: This kid will become the next generation of football king!
Cruyff seemed very happy after seeing Lin Quan and held his hand and talked for a long time.
"I heard Guardiola mention you. He said that he originally planned to train you to be Barcelona's No. [-] heir, but it was a pity that he failed."
Having said this, Cruyff glanced at Xavi who had left the team and couldn't help but sigh.
Barcelona's No. [-] position is not simple. This position has extremely high requirements for players. They must not only have strong personal abilities, but also be comprehensive. They must be able to connect the frontcourt and the backcourt. They must have strong offensive ability and The interception and sweeping ability of the defensive midfielder.
When Guardiola was at Barcelona, he wore the No. [-] jersey and did this kind of job.
However, Guardiola's personal strength can only be said to be relatively limited, and there is a big gap between Cruyff's ideal fourth position.
As for Xavi, his offensive ability is very strong and meets Cruyff's requirements.
However, there is still a gap between the defensive ability and the requirements in his mind. Therefore, he originally placed his hopes on the next generation of players.
Therefore, when Lin Quan put on the No. [-] jersey in the La Masia youth training camp, Cruyff had already begun to pay attention to him.
I just didn't expect that Lin Quan would eventually move from the defensive midfielder to the forward position, and accidentally become the most powerful offensive player on the planet.
Seeing that Lin Quan was busy in the frontcourt, it was impossible for him to return to the midfielder position to do the dirty work.
And there are no very suitable talents emerging from the La Masia youth training camp, so Barcelona's current No. [-] player is the player they bought from Sevilla-Rakitic.
Rakitic's strength is not as good as Xavi's, but he is better because he is young, dares to fight, and is full of momentum. In addition, Barcelona's MSN combination in the frontcourt is very strong, so last year Barcelona successfully reached the Champions League final.
It's just that they were unlucky and met the defending champion led by Lin Quan. Otherwise, Barcelona would have likely won the Champions League last year.
"But I feel very lucky to see your outstanding performance in the frontcourt. Fortunately, you did not accept Guardiola's arrangement, otherwise, your talent may have been buried!"
Lin Quan's current performance on the forward line is world-class. If he really played as a defensive midfielder according to his original plan, he may not be able to achieve such high achievements.
This is undoubtedly a huge loss for the entire football world.
Besides, whether they are midfielders or forwards, they are all talents cultivated by La Masia Youth Academy.
As long as they can succeed, Cruyff is happy for his disciples.
Seeing Cruyff chatting with Lin Quan very speculatively, Laporta on the side suddenly became elated and felt that something was going on.
So he quickly winked at Cruyff, trying to get him to talk to Lin Quan.
He had already visited Cruyff before this event took place.
However, Cruyff completely turned a blind eye to Laporta's eyes and never tried to persuade Lin Quan from beginning to end.
When Russell launched a major purge, it was not just Lin Quan who was purged, but Cruyff was also targeted.
His title of honorary president of the club was ruthlessly stripped away by Russell.
This made Cruyff so angry that he left Barcelona directly and returned to his former home in the Netherlands.
In the past three years, Cruyff has almost never been to Barcelona again, and his relationship with the club has dropped to a freezing point.
This time, if Laporta hadn't extended his warm invitation, and if he had heard that Lin Quan was coming and wanted to see Lin Quan, he would have never come back.
But even if he comes back, like Lin Quan, he will only attend the activities of the La Masia youth training camp and will never go to the Barcelona club.
Because of this, no matter how Laporta hints, it is impossible for him to persuade Lin Quan to return to Barcelona.
The old man was really heartbroken by Barcelona's ruthless approach!
Cruyff didn't speak, and Lin Quan was happy and relaxed.
If the other party really spoke, it would be quite troublesome for him to refuse.
After finishing the conversation with Cruyff, Lin Quan took the opportunity to chat with several teammates in the club for a while.
Most of the people who came to participate in this event were Barcelona players, and their eyes looked at Lin Quan full of resentment.
"Lin, your Manchester City shouldn't stop us this year, right?"
Barcelona has fallen at the feet of Manchester City for two consecutive years, which has almost caused a psychological shadow on the Barcelona players.
"Probably not?"
After encountering it for three consecutive years, the probability is indeed low.
In the past, only Arsenal would be so unlucky. They encountered Barcelona and Bayern in the knockout rounds for several consecutive seasons, earning themselves the reputation of Bayern for five years and Barcelona for three years.
To be honest, with Messi here, Barcelona's strength cannot be weakened.
What's more, Xiaobai is still in the team and Neymar has not left. Their MSN combination is still very strong.
Manchester City does not want to encounter such a top team prematurely.
But as long as they don't overturn, even if they don't meet in the knockout rounds, they will probably meet in the finals, just like last year.
"But it doesn't matter if you meet me, it's just a revenge for being eliminated by you in the past two years!"
Barcelona players look like they are seeking revenge!
Messi's eyes also ignited fighting spirit. He lost to Lin Quan in major competitions for two consecutive years, which not only caused him to lose three crucial championships, but also caused him to lose two Ballon d'Or awards.
If nothing else happens this year, the Golden Globe Award will definitely go to Lin Quan.
In years without international competitions, league and Champions League results have the greatest impact on the selection of the Ballon d'Or.
Lin Quan's performance in the past year is obvious to all, and even Messi himself is convinced.
The other party did perform well, and he had nothing to say.
If he had the right to vote, he would vote for Lin Quan without hesitation.
But it will be different next year. He will not let the other party do whatever he wants again.
"So, you still hope to meet us in the Champions League?"
Lin Quan raised his eyebrows.
"No, no, no, no, I think it's best for our two teams not to meet!"
"Brother Lin, no, I admit that my voice was a bit loud just now!"
While several people were bickering together, Xiaofa sighed and said:
"Oh, you can also think about the Champions League. My team doesn't even have a head coach!"
After Chelsea ousted Mourinho, its reputation in coaching circles was completely ruined.
There have been so many coaches driven away by them in the past few years that when everyone received the invitation to coach from Chelsea, they all felt a little guilty in their hearts, wondering if they would also become one of the people who were fired.
No, they will definitely be fired. The only suspense is, how soon will they be fired?
To be honest, Mourinho's record at Chelsea was definitely not bad, but he was still fired ruthlessly by Abramovich.
The outside world is unclear about what kind of head coach Abramovich wants and what requirements he has for the team's performance?
At the moment when Manchester City is at its peak, whether it is the Premier League championship or the Champions League championship, Chelsea's current strength seems unrealistic.Therefore, if they accept Chelsea's invitation, they will definitely fail to meet Abramovich's requirements in the end and will be forced to take the blame and leave.
In this case, let's just forget about it. After all, every coaching failure is a major blow to their reputation.
This summer, Chelsea first contacted Klopp who was unemployed at home.
However, Klopp politely declined Chelsea's invitation and signed a contract with the Red Army Liverpool.
After being rejected, they contacted the famous Italian coach Conte.
Conte declined Chelsea's invitation because he still had a contract with the Italian national team.
There is no other way, Chelsea can only try to take another bite of grass.
They sent an invitation to Ancelotti, who was fired by Real Madrid, and tried to see if they could invite Ancelotti back to Stamford Bridge.
An Pang is also a man of integrity. He did not want to return to Chelsea and continue to be humiliated by Abramovich, so he decisively rejected Chelsea's invitation.
Chelsea, who were in urgent need of treatment, immediately extended invitations to Ranieri, Hiddink, Scolari and many others.
Ranieri was fooled once and didn't want to be fooled a second time. He was originally worried about Leicester City's invitation, so he directly accepted the invitation and became Leicester City's coach in the new season.
As for Hiddink, he declined Chelsea's invitation on the grounds that he was old and ready to retire.
As a result, the only remaining candidate is former Brazil national team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.
At this time, there are several teams chasing Scolari. In addition to Chelsea, there is another club that also offers a high price. The name of this club is-Guangzhou Evergrande!
Everyone can only express sympathy and comfort to Xiaofa's experience.
What else can we do if we have such a boss?
Abramovich is good at everything, and he really loves Chelsea, but he is a bit impatient, especially he loves to fire the head coach.
……
Cruyff's health was obviously not as good as before. When he attended the event, he just came on stage to deliver a speech, and his face turned pale and he kept coughing.
This made Lin Quan a little worried. It seemed that there was something really wrong with the old man's health.
So, he took the opportunity to find Cruyff Jr., who had accompanied Cruyff to the event, and reminded him to take Cruyff senior to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
Seeing that Lin Quan's words were very solemn, Cruyff did not dare to be careless and seriously stated that he would take his father to a major hospital in Barcelona for examination as soon as the event was over.
After this investigation, the problem was found.
The hospital diagnosed Cruyff with lung cancer, but because of the timely examination, it is still in the early stages and active surgical treatment can be performed.
With Cruyff's status and his influence in Barcelona, Barcelona officials will naturally arrange for him to have the best experts for diagnosis, treatment and surgery.
However, Cruyff suffered from heart disease and had undergone heart bypass surgery.
Therefore, treatment is very difficult. Generally speaking, patients with heart disease cannot undergo surgery.
However, if his lung cancer is not treated surgically, it will be difficult to completely eradicate the disease. The possibility of metastasis and recurrence is very high, and it will be very fatal if it continues.
The news that Cruyff was ill and hospitalized caused quite a stir in the football world.
Although he has retired for many years, Cruyff is still one of the most respected players in Europe.
In many cases, he was even more popular than his contemporary football emperor Beckenbauer.
Many people believe that if the Dutch team led by Cruyff had not been defeated by West Germany in the 1974 World Cup, Cruyff would most likely have won the title after Pele and become the second world champion.
Because of Cruyff's huge influence, many players expressed condolences and blessings to him, wishing him a speedy recovery.
After learning the news that Cruyff was hospitalized, Guardiola rushed back in a hurry.
"Teacher, are others okay?"
Guardiola is a student of Cruyff, and he has a very good relationship with Cruyff.
For Guardiola, Cruyff was his mentor.
Not only did he have great trust in him during his playing days, allowing him, who was not particularly talented, to serve as the metronome and core midfielder in the Barcelona team, but he also imparted all his tactical thoughts and football concepts to the Barcelona team without reservation. he.
These have had a great impact on Guardiola. It can be said that the passing and controlling football he has developed today is further developed on the basis of Cruyff.
"It should be fine. When I visited him a few days ago, he still had the energy to complain that the doctor at the hospital wouldn't let him smoke."
Guardiola, who was originally nervous, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Quan's words.
As long as Cruyff still wants to smoke, it won't be a big problem.
But then again, this old man has a bad heart, but he still wants to smoke?
Are you really afraid that you won’t die quickly enough?
Guardiola was worried about his mentor, so Lin Quan accompanied Guardiola and visited the hospital again.
Cruyff seemed very happy to see Guardiola.
When he was in the Netherlands, he had been paying attention to the tactics Guardiola studied.
I thought that the defeat in the Bundesliga would have a certain impact on Guardiola's self-confidence and make him temporarily restrain himself.
Unexpectedly, after arriving in the Premier League, he was still stubborn and slowly transformed Manchester City into his shape. He was really stubborn!
Having said that, Cruyff was very pleased to see that his football concepts and tactical ideas were passed down and promoted in the hands of Guardiola's disciple.
Compared with him, the free agent style of play played by his old rival Beckenbauer has long been outdated and no one plays it. Now let alone the German national team, even the Bundesliga teams no longer play this style. .
So in the fight between the two, he had the last laugh!
Thinking of this, Cruyff felt very proud.
The master and apprentice chatted for a long time, and most of the topics they talked about were about football.
Cruyff knew his physical condition. Even if lung cancer was not diagnosed this time, judging from his increasingly serious heart disease, he did not have much time left.
Originally, he might have been a little regretful, but now, seeing that Guardiola has achieved such brilliant achievements in football, he has no regrets anymore.
At the end of the conversation, the topic somehow turned to Lin Quan.
"That boy in your family is very powerful, but he is too young. You must supervise him and tutor him. Don't let him go astray before he is crowned king."
Guardiola was surprised. Although there were many voices in the football world, they all felt that Lin Quan would be crowned king sooner or later and become the third generation of football kings after Pele and Maradona.
But this is just the voice of fans and has not been recognized by industry professionals.
However, this time, Lin Quan received the endorsement of Cruyff, the top football boss.
Could it be said that this kid can really become the next generation of football champion?
