King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 11 Chasing Guardiola

Chapter 11 Chasing Pep Guardiola

New boss, new atmosphere.

The broken copper and iron of the Notts County Club need to be dealt with, and the preliminary preparations for infrastructure construction cannot be stopped.

In order to deal with trivial affairs of the club more efficiently, Wei Xun recently established the Notts County Club Infrastructure Construction Committee. Due to the lack of other management talents, Wei Xun could only let Zhao Tai continue to take this position and take charge of the club's construction work.

"Dad's vision really doesn't mean that brother Tai is so easy to use. Who would have thought that the head of the children's group when he was young, when he grows up, one person can be used by ten people!"

With Zhao Tai's side assistance, Wei Xun has become a shopkeeper in a grandiose manner, and it's time to shift the focus of his work to team building.

Anyway, when Wei Xun made a box of banknotes and threw it in front of Zhao Tai, Zhao Tai had to give in. Anyway, Zhao Tai himself didn't have such awesome skills.

Even if the kidney is sold, I can't make up so much money...

In Wei Xun's view, the first step in building a successful team is to choose a suitable head coach.

As an assistant coach with a [-]% win rate, Wei Xun had thought about becoming a full-time regular and taking over the Notts County coach, but after thinking about it, it was purely a coincidence that he won that game, and it couldn't be counted at all.

Only when professional people do professional things can it be reliable.

Once the general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, a real king's division must be led by an excellent coach.

Wei Xun doesn't want to be a useless coach like Joy Scott, who brought the championship team to the relegation zone and has the face to slander the club. Wei Xun can't afford to lose this guy!

"Who should be in charge of Notts County Club, oh, worry..."

Wei Xun put his hands on the back of his head and lay comfortably on the camp bed, constantly circling the famous big cows in his mind.

At the beginning of the 21st century, many famous coaches of later generations ended their player careers and officially started a new career:

Jurgen Norbert Klopp, the head coach of the new Champions League winner Liverpool, started his coaching career in [-].

But it is a pity that Wei Xun came back a little later. At this time, Klopp has been the coach of the Mainz club in the Bundesliga for four months.

It is also the second division, but the gap is not small:

Bundesliga Bundesliga is the second division of Germany, second only to the Bundesliga.Although the English Championship has not yet been established, there is also a Premier League A in front of the English League Two. Not to mention, the Mainz club is still Klopp's home team.

Now is the most difficult period for Mainz. It is obviously impossible to take the scumbag who knows how to repay him from the Mainz club.

In Wei Xun's mind, Italy's traditional chain defense combined with Spanish-style small-scale quick pass and control undoubtedly occupies the highest position in his heart.

Nothing can be accomplished overnight. If we had to choose one first, Wei Xun would definitely say that it was iron-blooded defense.

In the English league system, iron-blooded defense abounds, especially in low-level leagues like League Two, which has the highest rate of broken legs in the world.

A good defense can keep a club from relegation in League Two, but it won't win you promotion to League One.

To a certain extent, defense determines the lower limit of a team, but offense is the magic weapon for a team to pierce the ceiling above its head and be omnipotent.

A tough and iron-blooded defense can get you a draw, and if you are a little bit luckier, stealing a goal can get you a victory.

But the offense is different. You score one goal, and the defender who is a little bit tricky can miss two for you.Anyway, no matter how many you score, my defense will lose one more than you.

Such colander defenders can be said to be common in the Chinese Super League in later generations. Israeli star Zahavi is such a tragic representative who will never score enough. The league Golden Boot can be regarded as the greatest consolation for him.

……

Spain, Barcelona.

The city is located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula and borders the Mediterranean Sea. It is the second largest city in Spain and the capital of the Catalonia autonomous region. Its total population is second only to Madrid, the capital of Spain.

Barcelona is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, and its main ethnic group is Catalan.The ethnicity is single and the population is concentrated, which has also become an important factor for Catalonia to clamor for independence.

There are many professional football clubs in the Catalonia region. Barcelona and Royal Espanyol, two teams in the Spanish top league, are located in the Catalan capital Barcelona.

The three teams of Girona, Sabadell and Barcelona II are working hard in the Spanish second division.

In addition, there are nine goals of Tarragona, Lleida, Badalona, ​​Lagostra, San André, Leius, Espanyol II, Pratt and Los Pitale. The team has been active in the third division for a long time.

Think about it, there are as many as [-] professional clubs in the entire Catalonia region, not to mention the lower-level amateur teams. The football atmosphere in Catalonia is so good that Wei Xun himself Sigh.

Football is the same as other sports, without a solid tower base, how can it have a sufficiently stable and high enough spire.

No one makes cakes, but they all want to eat cakes. In the end, it is doomed that the bamboo basket is empty, and everyone can only go hungry.

The greatest pride of Barcelona is also the buildings designed by the genius architect Gaudi of modernism.He made this pearl of the peninsula more dazzling, and six works by one person were included in the world cultural heritage, which is also a unique miracle in the world.

It is said that Barcelona relied on Gaudi to attract many people to come here, and never left.

The dream world created by Gaudi has become a reality in Barcelona. Countless young people with artistic dreams have set foot on this land to pursue their artist dreams. Whether it is painting or architecture, too many masters have been born here.

There are ancient, modern, and many soon-to-be-famous ones. As long as you have been to Barcelona, ​​no one will question why there are so many art masters here.

It's no wonder that the football of FC Barcelona will become a work of art that will be full of praise in the future.

Woody Allen's movie "Midnight in Barcelona" has made many people choose to travel here, and the romantic atmosphere in the movie has attracted many young men and women.

Wei Xun has seen this movie, and this is his first time in Spain, in Barcelona, ​​but not for stop-and-go.

No. 11 in April [-], the Spanish midfielder Pep Guardiola, who publicly announced that he will leave Barcelona after the end of the season, is the real goal of Wei Xun's trip.

Guardiola, who was born in Santpedo, Catalonia, Spain, is still living in his mansion in the center of Barcelona at this time, worrying about where he will go next season.

Unfortunately, Wei Xun's previous two visits were rejected. A team in the third level of English football also wants to invite the world superstar Pep Guardiola, who has won the Champions League and six La Liga titles, to join?

What a joke!
Guardiola's maid didn't let Wei Xun and his temporarily hired Spanish translator in at all.Even the gift that Wei Xun brought was thrown into the trash can by the maid.

Poor Wei Xun had no choice but to pick out the gifts he brought from the trash can again and again, wipe them clean before returning them.

This is the 11th day since Wei Xun came to Barcelona. Wei Xun plans to go to Guardiola's residence for the third time.

Three visits to the thatched cottage are nothing more than that.

Perhaps it was Wei Xun's sincerity that moved Guardiola, Wei Xun's gift was finally accepted by the maid, and the person who received Wei Xun became Guardiola himself, but Wei Xun's Spanish translator did not come today because of something.

If it weren't for the fact that Notts County has the title of the world's first professional football club, Wei Xun would not be able to enter the door of Guardiola's house anyway.

Wei Xun is very clear about Guardiola's future achievements, whether it is in Barcelona, ​​Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich, or Blue Moon Manchester City under the City Football Group, Guardiola has won championships.

Compared with Guardiola's brilliant achievements on the coaching bench, after he broke up with Barcelona, ​​his wandering trip for several years was much bleak.

In the original history, the frustrated Guardiola will go to Brescia to play in the Italian Serie A next season. In the following years, he left his footprints in Qatar and Mexico.

In one season in Rome, Guardiola even only got four chances to play, which is tantamount to humiliating treatment for a world-renowned midfielder and former Champions League champion.

After years of wasting away, Guardiola, the master midfielder of a generation, finally retired sadly, which is really a pity.

The experience of the previous two failures made Wei Xunjue cherish this opportunity especially, and it was unintentional.

Without an interpreter, all the red tape can be omitted. Wei Xun simply cut to the chase and expressed his feelings. It would be best if he could have a long talk with Guardiola. up.

Maybe he can convince Guardiola.

Wei Xun can also use flowers to present Buddha, and spread the ideas of some future generations who understand the game of pass and control, relying on Guardiola's reputation.

"Wei, I still have the liberty to ask, are you really the chairman of an English professional football club?"

Guardiola looked at the young man in front of him who was drinking lemonade with his head down, and he couldn't believe it.

"This guy is really too young."

If he hadn't seen Wei Xun holding the Mingqian Longjing that he had seen in a luxury store in Chinatown before, Guardiola would definitely have taken Wei Xun as a liar.

The cost of using such things to cheat is too high.

Wei Xun spread his hands helplessly, but Guardiola's English seemed to be pretty good, and the two of them could communicate fluently without a translator.

"If it's fake, Josep, it really can't be true anymore. To be precise, Notts County is currently a League Two club, located in the third tier of the English professional league system, but we will not just be a third club. level team."

"This is the third time you have invited me. I just don't want to leave a rude comment in England. After all, I haven't decided on my next home..."

Guardiola shrugged a little embarrassedly, and expressed his thoughts generously:
"Mr. Chairman, are you sure you are here to invite me to join the Notts County club? I have won the Champions League and La Liga. Don't you think it is a bit strange for me to play in the third tier of England? Are you going to give How much do I pay?"

Although I don't know what Wei Xun thinks, but Guardiola has already heard about the stories of the local tyrants in the East, and their most common method is to spend money.

"Uh, Josep, if you need money, I have no problem here. However, I think you have misunderstood me. In fact, my purpose is to invite you to coach at the Notts County Club..."

"Coaching? Are you kidding me, brother, I'm only 30 years old, and I don't want to retire yet. I think with my current state, I can continue to make great contributions to the club on the court."

Hearing what Wei Xun said, Guardiola became impatient, and his tone of voice became a little bit more serious.

"No, Josep, to be more precise, I want you to join Notts County as a player and manager. Others may not know it, but I know that you have been studying coaching courses at the University of Barcelona for a while. up.

If you are destined to go to a football club to start another career, then we in Notts County are willing to be your experience pool on the way to growth.

Instead of going to Qatar, Mexico, etc. that are far from the core of football, I think England would be a good place to start.You are destined to choose to fly, why not go to a higher mountain to spread your wings. "

If later generations hadn't found out about Guardiola's football coaching courses at the University of Barcelona through search engines, Wei Xun felt that the following conversation would not have gone so smoothly.

A famous coach with great wisdom like Guardiola is obviously not so easy to fool, unless Wei Xun has the ability to fool people into limping.

A heart-to-heart conversation and the rare Mingqian Longjing in Spain gave Wei Xun the opportunity to have dinner with Guardiola.

Guardiola and Wei Xun talked a lot about pass control football and the future development direction of the Notts County Club team.

Perhaps it is because the two people's views on passing and controlling football are too consistent, let Guardiola cite Wei Xun as a confidant, and it is really embarrassing that the two seem to hate each other.

"Hmph, hypocrisy, every time I go to take out the presents from the trash can and take them away, don't think I didn't see them!"

Guardiola's maid was probably the most unhappy person present, throwing away the guest's gift was just a gesture.If Wei Xun doesn't take it away, it will be her turn to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Relying on his three-inch tongue, Wei Xun successfully reached an agreement with Guardiola. Guardiola really wanted to leave Spain. The football atmosphere in England is good, and Wei Xun's salary is not low.

As a player and coach, Wei Xun was also very generous in terms of Guardiola's salary. Since it was a job for two people, he simply received two salaries.
