Chapter 349: Bayern was robbed, and Barcelona fans fainted in the toilet

"Bayern was stolen, Guardiola may switch to Manchester City!" 》

"Man City contacts Guardiola, Blue Moon's new coach candidate is revealed!" 》

"Guardiola may join Manchester City and Lin Quan will form the strongest father-son team in football!" 》

"Famous football coaches have landed in the Premier League, and the battle between Mourinho and Guardiola will be staged in the Premier League! 》

Once the photos of Fahim and Guardiola's private meeting were released, it immediately caused a huge earthquake in the entire football world.

"Is it true? Guardiola is going to Manchester City?"

"The photos are out, so they can't be fake, right?"

"If Guagua went to Manchester City, the scene would be so beautiful that I would be afraid to look at it!"

"Haha, don't you think that Manchester City's current lineup is somewhat similar to Barcelona's dream third team?"

"It's true that Lin is comparable to Messi, who was at his peak back then, and maybe even a little bit better.

The two midfielders of Kroos and De Bruyne are equivalent to the weaker Xavi and Xiaobai.

Plus Fernandinho, David Silva, Aguero...

It feels like Guardiola doesn't need to make too many adjustments to Manchester City's tactics. He can just copy Barcelona's tactics. "

When some fans see Guardiola, they automatically think of Tikitaka's playing style of peak Barcelona. This subversive style of play immediately caused a sensation in the entire football world once it came out.

When no one was familiar with this style of play, Barcelona relied on it to sweep the entire football world and win numerous honors.

Now, seeing the possibility of Guardiola coaching Manchester City, many tikitaka loyal supporters see the hope of reviving this tactic.

When Guardiola went to Bayern, there were not many fans who were optimistic about him.

This is not to say that Bayern is not strong, on the contrary, Bayern is too strong.

When Bayern just won the Champions League and the team was deeply imprinted by Heynckes, every reform Guardiola made at Bayern entailed huge risks.

If his reforms are successful, Bayern fans will take this achievement for granted, because they themselves are the defending champions.

But if his reforms fail or fail to meet expectations, the voices criticizing him will never be quiet.

This was already evident last season when Bayern lost in the semifinals.

After Bayern was eliminated by Atletico Madrid with a clean sheet, Guardiola was criticized by Bayern fans.

Having said that, Guardiola's season and a half at Bayern is not a failure.

Under his leadership, Bayern set a new record in team history and achieved the second-longest unbeaten record in the five major leagues.

And this season, Bayern has dominated the league, far ahead of other competitors.

Under his transformation, Bayern's dominance in the league has actually been further enhanced.

The reason is very simple. The fault tolerance rate of pass-and-control football in the league is very high, and the stability is terrifying!

But in the Champions League, where the competition is fierce, the stability of passing and controlling football is not so high.

When facing some powerful and wealthy teams, it is difficult to show the advantage of passing and controlling football.

This is also the reason why Guardiola failed in the Champions League knockout rounds in a row during Bayern's later period.

Of course, this also has something to do with his love of doing things.

However, in this time and space, Guardiola has only stayed at Bayern for one and a half seasons, and his consecutive defeats in the European war have not happened yet.

Therefore, the outside world's criticism of him is not as loud as before.

At this time, the number of fans who have expectations for him is much greater than the number of fans who despise him.

"I heard that Manchester City gave Guardiola a lot of authority!"

"Well, I heard about it too. It seems to be given authority similar to that of a football manager!"

"Is it true? Mourinho didn't even get this right at Chelsea, but Guardiola got it just after he landed in the Premier League? Isn't this too easy?"

"Haha, for some people, it is indeed difficult to obtain this kind of permission, but for others it may not be!"

"The bosses of Manchester City and Chelsea are not on the same page at all. Abramovich is very concerned about Chelsea's affairs, big and small, and he can't wait to get involved personally.

And Mansour, the big boss of Manchester City, respects and trusts professionals very much! "

"Yes, I have heard about this. When Manchester City won the League Cup last year, I heard that Mansour planned to go to the dressing room in person to distribute bonuses and express condolences to the players.

However, considering that doing so would affect the coach's authority in front of the players, he finally gave up the decision. Later, when Manchester City won the Premier League and Champions League games, although he came to the stadium to watch the game, he never stepped into it. Half a step to the locker room! "

"This boss is very capable!"

"Indeed, this is the first time I have heard of this matter. It has subverted my impression of the Middle East consortium!"

In fact, the Abu Dhabi consortium behind Manchester City has strong financial resources and has always had a strategic vision in the club's operations.

This is nothing like the short-sightedness of the Qatari consortium.

After all, the Abu Dhabi consortium really wants to engage in football, while the Qatar consortium only wants to use football to advertise the Qatar World Cup.

The latter only focuses on improving short-term influence and does not pay attention to the long-term operation of the team.

"If these rumors are true, then for Guardiola, Manchester City can provide him with a stable environment and allow him enough time and room for error to slowly toss around. This is a good thing!"

"Haha, it seems that Manchester City is really going to rise. Maybe next year, we will change the name of Manchester City to the New Universe Team!"

Some fans became optimistic after learning about the favorable conditions provided by Manchester City to Guardiola.

This authority seems to be greater than when Guardiola was at Barcelona. In addition, there is a super giant like Lin Quan in the team. It looks like Manchester City has picked up the script of Barcelona back then.

"I don't think we can be so optimistic. Many of Barcelona's players came out of the La Masia training camp together, and the tacit understanding between them is unmatched by other teams.

Manchester City's players come from all over the world. Their playing style and mutual understanding are definitely not as good as those of Barcelona.

Moreover, Spain has always followed the route of technical football, but this is not the case in the Premier League.

If you play exactly according to Barcelona's style of play, you will probably be acclimatized. "

Amid the optimism, someone stood up and poured cold water on the situation.

But at this time, none of the major clubs have been impressed by Guardiola.

Fans don't know that Guardiola likes scientific research.

People only saw his success in Barcelona and did not see his early failures in Bayern and Manchester City, so such a rational voice did not get everyone's attention.

Many people regard Guardiola as a panacea, thinking that once he comes to Manchester City, he can immediately put things right and lead Manchester City to another peak.

Regarding the news that Guardiola may join, Manchester City fans are full of joy, and they feel like the clouds are clearing and the sun is shining brightly.

But on Bayern's side, their fans have mixed feelings.

Guardiola's leadership performance is good or bad.

Of course, there is no mention of the league, but being kept clean by a non-rich team like Atletico Madrid in the Champions League is completely unacceptable to Bayern fans who think highly of themselves.

When Bayern lost to Atletico Madrid, many fans went to the club's official website to leave messages, hoping that the club would let Guardiola pack up and leave.

Not scoring a single goal in two games, is this still the Bayern they know?

Under the leadership of Heynckes last season, where did Bayern's ruthlessness and bloodiness go?

But now that they heard Guardiola was leaving, they were a little reluctant.

The record of the semi-finals is barely acceptable. If another coach were to change the stability of the league, I am afraid that it would not be able to maintain such good results.

And even Bayern fans who hate Guardiola have to admit a fact.

That is, under the guidance of Guardiola, the technical level of Bayern players has indeed improved significantly.

The most obvious example is Thomas Muller!

Muller has played smarter and more spiritually in the past two seasons, and his skills have become more solid.

In private interviews, Muller also expressed his love and admiration for Guardiola many times.

In fact, even those players who have difficulty dealing with Guardiola rarely criticize Guardiola's coaching ability.

If Guardiola really leaves, where can he find a coach who is more suitable for the team than him?

The Bayern club's answer is to ask the old coach to come out!

Just after rumors spread that Guardiola might leave Bayern, Bayern took immediate action.

Bayern's manager Hoeness personally went to Heynckes' residence to visit him.

The coach has been retiring at home since retiring and has not accepted invitations from other teams. It seems that he is really preparing to retire.

For Heynckes, he has already received all the honors he deserves and has no regrets in life.

Therefore, there is not much motivation to come out again. When he retired from Bayern, many teams including Real Madrid and Barcelona sent him invitations, hoping that he could coach the other team.

But the old coach rejected the invitations of these teams one by one, and returned to his hometown in the countryside peacefully, planting flowers, reading newspapers, and occasionally accepting invitations from TV stations to be game commentators and so on.

This kind of quiet and peaceful life is undoubtedly very pleasant for an old man who is about to turn 70.

Coaching a team is a very tiring job. He not only needs to lead the team in training, but also collects opponent intelligence, studies game videos, arranges starting lineups and tactical play.

When the game is going on, he has to concentrate on observing the trend of the game and try to find the opponent's weaknesses.

These tasks consume a lot of energy and time, and are definitely not easy for older people.

Because of this, famous football coaches usually choose to retire after the age of sixty-five.

There are really not many people like Ferguson who have led Manchester United for decades and persisted until they retired at the age of 72.

Because of this, Heynckes did not immediately agree to Hoeness’s visit:

"Mr. Hoeness, I already know about the team's affairs. I need to think about it for a while and will give you an answer later!"

The reason for Heynckes' refusal is simple. At present, there are only rumors and there is no confirmation that Guardiola really wants to leave.

If Guardiola leaves now, he can put out the fire for Bayern.

But if Guardiola intends to see the season through, there is no need for him to step in.

This is a sign of respect for the current head coach and the demeanor of a famous coach.

Heynckes obviously criticized Bayern's approach.

In the 2012-2013 season, he only expressed the idea of ​​​​retiring, and Bayern couldn't wait to sign a contract with Guardiola during the winter break.

The coach has not yet officially announced his retirement, but the candidate for Bayern's next head coach has already been decided, which makes the coach a little embarrassed.

This also resulted in him being unable to continue coaching after he led the team to win the Champions League.

If Bayern were not so anxious, maybe after winning the championship, the coach would renew his contract with the team for another year and lead the team again.

With Bayern's form in the 2013 season, the possibility of defending the Champions League is very high.

It's a pity that Bayern's early official announcement blocked his path, allowing the old coach to retire at his most glorious moment.

This result is not bad, but it is inevitable that there will be regrets in my heart.

Now that he is asked to come out, the old coach, who has adapted to retirement life, is a little unhappy.

If the opponent hadn't been Bayern's manager, he would have rejected Hoeness long ago.

Therefore, if Guardiola does not plan to leave during the winter break, then there is no need for him to go out.

With half a year's buffer, I believe Bayern will be able to find a suitable candidate to replace Guardiola.

The old coach has a deep affection for Bayern. Before this, he had saved Bayern three times.

It is no exaggeration to call him Bayern's fire captain.

But after all, time is not forgiving. Heynckes will soon be 70 years old, and even if he leaves the mountain, he will not be able to take him for a few years.

Bayern still has to look for a new head coach after all.

You can't always count on me, a bad old man, right?

…

In addition to the two parties involved in the football world who are particularly concerned about the news that Guardiola may go to Manchester City to coach, there are two other clubs who are also very concerned.

One of the clubs is Guardiola's former club Barcelona, ​​and the other is Real Madrid.

The reason why Barcelona pays attention to Guardiola's transfer is simple. Guardiola is the founder of Barcelona's dream three dynasties!

He once led Barcelona to a series of honors and won awards without mercy. Not only did he create the miracle of six championships, but he also made Barcelona the supreme prestige of the Cosmos team.

It can be said that most of Barcelona's huge influence and countless fans around the world were established at that time.

That Barcelona team back then was a dream that countless red and blue fans could not let go of.

Especially just two years after he left, Barcelona's decline became clear, and it becomes even more precious.

In recent years, Barcelona has suffered many defeats in the league and Champions League.

A series of defeats such as a draw at home in the league, watching the opponent win the trophy at Camp Nou, and a 7:0 defeat by Bayern in the Champions League all happened in just two years.

Without much change in the team's main structure, Barcelona's record has suffered such a huge decline, which many fans feel is the consequences of Guardiola's departure.

Therefore, in almost every game, Barcelona fans at the Nou Camp will display slogans hoping that Guardiola will return to the team, in order to call him and retain him.

In order to cater to the fans' expectations, when Laporta, the candidate for Barcelona's chairmanship, ran for the club's chairmanship, his slogan was to invite Guardiola back to the Nou Camp and return to the head coach of the Red and Blues.

This shows how much influence Guardiola has, at least in the hearts of Barcelona fans!

But now, the meritorious coach they have longed for has been rumored to have scandals with other teams.

This made Barcelona fans feel cheated, as if the goddess they had admired for a long time suddenly ran away with another man.

After they learned the news, each of them found it very difficult to accept it and almost fainted in the toilet from crying.

Guardiola, we at Barcelona treat you like first love, but you abuse me thousands of times?

It hurts, it hurts so much!

What makes Barcelona fans even more sad is that it was originally possible for Lin Quan to return to the Nou Camp, but once Guardiola really went to Manchester City, Lin Quan's hope of returning to the Nou Camp was completely eliminated!

Double the pain!

They desperately hope that this is fake news, but the fact seems to be exactly the opposite. All signs point to it being true!

As for their neighbors Real Madrid, the reason they are concerned about this news is simple.

Real Madrid also does not want Guardiola to return to Camp Nou. As a participant, Real Madrid knows better than anyone how difficult that Barcelona team was.

The tragedy of them being humiliated 5:0 by Barcelona on the court is still vivid in my mind!

But for Real Madrid, they not only do not want Guardiola to return to Camp Nou, but they also do not want him to go to Manchester City.

Manchester City is already strong enough. If a world-class coach joins forces with them, will Real Madrid still reap the benefits when they meet them in the Champions League?
