Chapter 901 Manchester City's biggest hidden danger
Arriving in Carrington in the morning, when he met Guardiola in the parking lot, the Spaniard told Sudong to have a meeting after the lunch break.

Although he didn't specifically say what he was going to do, Su Dong also guessed it.

Even though it has been a year since he came to the Premier League, so far, he still cannot understand what is going on in the minds of some English players, just like Joe Hart this time.

Conceding two goals in the game, the score after the game is destined to be high. I will give you six points, which is quite satisfactory. Is there anything wrong with that?
But why do you say those words?
Blaming the team's tactics, criticizing the team-mates in front of him, what good does it do him?
Does he think that pressure from the media and local fans can alleviate his current situation?
Manchester City is not other Premier League teams, nor is it the Manchester City when Mark Hughes was in charge, because there are not many Englishmen in Manchester City from the management to the coaching staff, and they are all professionals from the European continent.

It’s okay to put these words in the locker room, but you get it to the media and say, what do you want to do?
Guardiola scolded him very unceremoniously: You are not qualified to say these words!
Look, things are screwed up, right?

This made Su Dong couldn't help but think of those things that happened during the national team competition last season, causing trouble continuously.

Su Dong read a book before, which said that the family backgrounds of English football players are generally from the bottom of the society, even the middle class is very small, and their education level is very low, because they played football since childhood, and the professional level of the entire English football is very bad, black money, alcoholism, gambling, physical fitness...

Coupled with the development of the media field, the media is keen to create and destroy stars, and the problems of local players' worth and annual salary brought about by the localization policy have caused players to be highly praised at a young age, and then self-cognition is misplaced and even lost.

These are the various problems encountered in the Manchester City dressing room from last year to the present.

You know, this is the Premier League after so many years of development.

Su Dong can fully imagine what it must have been like when Wenger came to the Premier League to coach Arsenal.
The matter of Joe Hart, whether it is big or small, depends on how Guardiola sees it.

If it is not handled well, the locker room will not be convinced, especially the defensive players will feel angry.

However, if it is strictly attacked, it is also very difficult, because Joe Hart is the England goalkeeper.

Sometimes Su Dong thought, this is what he relies on?

……

In the subsequent training, everyone clearly felt this atmosphere.

Several English players in the team are closer to Joe Hart, which is more like a group, and they seem out of place with foreign players.

Some things don't weigh four or two on the scale, and they can't weigh a thousand catties on the scale.

Many times, the locker room gangs are like this, slowly, bit by bit.

More importantly, the English players in the Manchester City team are probably the main players in other teams, such as Gareth Barry. He is the captain of Aston Villa, but in Manchester City, it is fine if they can't compete with David Silva and Busquets. Even Toni Kroos stood on his head last season.

Although the performance of the team is overwhelming, can he be convinced?

And Adam Johnson, anyone can see that with Hazard and Douglas Costa joining the team, Manchester City now has four wingers, and his position has been severely squeezed to the edge.

Among England's local players, Trippier and Sterling are relatively well mixed. These two players are young players promoted by Guardiola, but they do not have the main impact position for the time being.

This kind of tearing began when Guardiola coached Manchester City.

On the one hand, it is the policies and regulations of the Premier League, on the other hand, the English players really cannot meet Guardiola's requirements, so they can only buy a batch of them as rotations or substitutes.

In this way, the locker room is still not peaceful.

Because of this, whether it's the Big Three in management, Guardiola, or even Su Dong's fiancee, they can see that without Su Dong's pressure, Manchester City's dressing room would have been finished.

At least with Su Dong here, they all have to be convinced and listen to what they say!

And this will also become the biggest hidden danger for Manchester City in the new season.

…………

…………

After the lunch break, Su Dong went to the coach conference room for a meeting.

The management came to Begiristain, he is the technical director, and he should be present.

The player came to a Su Dong, obviously Guardiola did not want too many people to participate.

The coaching staff has three people, Guardiola, Estiat and Torrent.

Needless to say, the topic is the decision to deal with Joe Hart.

Technical director Begiristan first expressed his support for the coaching staff and the locker room, thinking that such remarks that provoke the authority of the head coach and challenge the locker room must be punished. In any case, they all support the decisions of the coaching staff and the locker room.

"Courtois has performed well in training these days." Torrent said lightly.

Many people put the realization on Su Dong, because Su Dong just took him to Amsterdam not long ago. After returning, the Belgian teenager's training enthusiasm was very high, and his performance was also very good. Wensuai recognized him very much.

Whether it is the Manchester City coaching staff, the technical team, or Ferguson, everyone who has seen Courtois can see his potential and talent at a glance. The key is whether he can adapt to Guardiola's requirements?
For the time being, it seems that he is trying to change, and he is young, far from formed, and very sculptural.

Su Dong is actually very optimistic about Courtois, but from the perspective of the team captain, he doesn't think it is a good choice to let him start too early, because it involves the management of the locker room.

"I suggest that you should be suspended for one game and fined." Su Dong put forward his opinion.

Su Dong quickly gave his reasons, "The problem in the locker room is not small now, the hidden dangers are quite big, and the internal competition is very fierce, which makes everyone very nervous. Joe Hart's words are more or less trying to shirk some responsibility. After all, he conceded two goals. As a goalkeeper, he is also under great pressure."

"I think that the locker room still needs to treat everyone equally, and we can't send wrong signals and cause players to misunderstand. This is prone to problems. We should use rules to tell players who is in good condition, who can help the team better, and who plays."

It's normal for a head coach to have his own preferences.

Everyone knows that Guardiola actually doesn't like Joe Hart very much. Why?

His passing ability is really bad!

This does not meet Guardiola's requirements at all.

But he is an England national and a member of Manchester City's youth academy. Just because of the head coach's preference, it is appropriate to catch one of his mistakes and directly attack him.

Okay, put Courtois on the post, can he handle the pressure?
At that time, everyone and all public opinion will think that he was met by Guardiola, not by strength.

The year before last, Busquets was questioned like a wave because of this?
If Courtois can handle the pressure and perform well, fine, if not?

Su Dong's opinion is actually very clear. Whether Joe Hart is suitable for the team or whether Courtois can play, the coaching staff doesn't care, just let them compete and give them opportunities. Whoever performs well will win.

After playing a few games and playing for a period of time, players in good condition will get more opportunities, and players in poor condition will be gradually reduced in playing time. Even if Courtois is really allowed to play, the pressure on the Belgian will not be so great, and the doubts will be much smaller.

Even to a certain extent, maybe the media and fans will call for Joe Hart to be a substitute.

Isn't this better?
"I think what Su said makes sense," Begiristan said.

Estiate and Torrent also nodded.

As a head coach, Guardiola can be willful, but as a management, he must remain rational.

Sometimes, Guardiola is too capricious, and too stubborn.

Of course, geniuses are stubborn.

But this time, Guardiola was persuaded by Su Dong.

"Okay, then follow what Su said, suspend him for one game, fine him for a week, and let him apologize in the locker room at the same time, and deal with it internally."

…………

…………

After getting the result, Su Dong also began to play the role of captain.

He found Joe Hart directly, criticized his remarks, and gave the locker room punishment.

Joe Hart himself was a little scared. Now that he heard that he was suspended for one game and dealt with internally, he was of course happy and heaved a sigh of relief. He was really worried, and he was directly beaten to the end.

This will not only affect his position in Manchester City, but also shake his position in the England national team.

If he really loses Manchester City's main position, then he has only one choice, and that is to leave the team.

"The team will not miss games this season, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. The coaching staff has no obvious bias. The key is to see who is on the bench. The key is to look at the performance in training and the performance in the game. You understand what I mean?"

What Joe Hart didn't understand.

In the past year, Su Dong didn't know how many times he had told him.

Before there was no competitor, he could ignore it, but now there is a competitor, how can he still do this?
Later, Su Dong found an excuse to communicate with Gareth Barry, Milner, Trippier, Sterling and others, even the third goalkeeper Shay. The main purpose was to appease them and convey the meaning of the team.

In the end, Su Dong found Courtois, who was practicing with Wen Suejia, in the evening.

Su Dong told Courtois that if there is no accident, he will play the main force in the Premier League premiere this season. This is a rare opportunity.

The Premier League debut, which happens to be the first round of the new Premier League season, is still a home game. The combination of many factors has a special meaning.

"Boy, the opportunity has appeared and it is right in front of you. Whether you can grasp it is up to you!"

Courtois did not expect that the opportunity would come so quickly.

But as Su Dong said, this is also a test.

If you catch it, it will be a good start for the next competition.

Only by making a good start in his debut can the coaching staff justify giving him more playing time, and only by performing better in the competition can he possibly suppress Joe Hart.

"Thank you," Courtois said sincerely.

Su Dong smiled, patted Courtois on the shoulder encouragingly, turned around and left.
