Mister Legend

Chapter 570 The Perfect Match
To become the head coach of Real Madrid and lead the team not only to reach the top of the world but also to stay there for a long time, this is the ultimate goal of Moody Li in the workplace after his rebirth, none of them.

If five years ago, or even two years ago, he was not confident enough to say that he could achieve this dream, then after the miracle of leading Arsenal to six titles in a single season last year, this is no longer a big problem .

Except that Barcelona may not have similar ideas because of the issue of ownership, no team in the world can refuse the coaching willingness of the world's No. 1 coach. It's a sure thing.

And Li Mudi, who is not yet 41 years old, has enough time to wait for the moment when his dream comes true, so when he planned to come out again, he did not deliberately seek to be in the Bernabeu, because his good friend Guti did a good job in that position Yes, no one else is needed to save the team from the fire.

Therefore, when Bayern Munich, who hoped to make a breakthrough with the Champions League, offered him an olive branch, Li Moody, who looked around this year's football environment and found that there was no other better place to go, initially agreed to cooperate with the Bundesliga overlord. Discussing power and terms, as a person who keeps promises, this also declares that his next stop will be settled in "Southern Star" if there is no major accident.This is also one of the reasons why he resolutely rejected the call of the two old clubs. Even if it is not the most important of them, it still has a certain influence.

But this is not to say that he will not change his mind. Although it is rumored that the Bayern director Hoeness, who is about to retire completely, said that he will give the new coach a lot of power, but in the words of Guines, it is this old fox. You can only believe 50% of everything you say, otherwise just wait to fall into the trap set by the other party.Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that after the two parties entered into in-depth exchanges, major differences occurred, leading to the possibility of a complete breakdown of the negotiations.

And from the heart, Li Moody does not like to go to Germany to coach, although the football environment there is really excellent, and it is one of the few countries in the world that can achieve a relatively successful balance between sports and gold. one.However, in their sports circles and even in the high-level circles of the entire country, a large part of them are not friendly to the Celestial Empire, and there have been many outbreaks of anti-China or support for the separatism of certain regions.If France and Sweden are anti-China activists on the surface, then Germany is a despicable villain who pretends to be sanctimonious on the surface, but is also shameless in his bones.

Just rejecting the opportunity to coach for this reason alone is really endless, because other European countries such as Britain, Italy and Spain have not improved much, but they are just laughing at each other. To an extent.Even though our country still maintains its super-high-speed economic development every year, and has long left these western developed countries far behind, it is because of the self-righteous skin color theory of white people that they are looked down upon by the other party. Reasonable things.

Therefore, after forcibly eliminating this antipathy, Li Mudi still has a positive attitude towards entering the Allianz Arena. After all, Bayern has a strong foundation and is willing to provide him with sufficient funds. The competitiveness in the entire European battlefield is somewhat lacking, but this kind of coaching situation with moderate difficulty is already considered ideal, so I can no longer ask others for bicycles.

But what he never expected was that Real Madrid, which was considered not the best time, suddenly sent an invitation, which immediately disrupted the previous deployment of him and his agent, and at the same time made this immediately The coming summer is getting more and more exciting.

As mentioned before, Guti has done quite well in the position of Real Madrid coach. After taking over Lopetegui's position, he led the Galacticos to win a La Liga championship in the next four seasons. A Champions League championship and a Copa del Rey championship, the results can be said to be quite bright.

It’s just that due to the strength of Atletico Madrid and the rapid recovery of Barcelona after the downturn, Real Madrid’s performance in the past four years has shown a development trend of first rising and then falling. It may be too harsh to describe it as going from bad to worse, but it is basically in line with objective facts.

Especially in the season that is about to end, the team was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the second consecutive year, and the Copa del Rey failed to reach the semi-finals.As for La Liga, in the just-concluded second round of the national derby, Barcelona was tied [-]-[-] at home. With only four rounds left, it can almost be said that they will definitely miss the league championship this season.

Such a season with all four majors was not as good as last year when he barely won the Spanish Super Cup, which finally made Guti's coaching position unstable.

However, after all, he is a direct descendant of Real Madrid's own family, and still occupies a special position in the hearts of the fans, so for the time being, although the voice against him is loud, there are more supporters.According to common sense analysis, it should not be facing the point of dismissing get out of class soon.This is also one of the reasons why Li Modi didn't consider taking over Real Madrid's coaching position at all this summer. It's still the same sentence, the time has not yet come.

But there are exceptions to everything, and this is the case.The reason why Real Madrid's new chairman Raul made this call to his close friend is because after the national derby, Guti himself proposed in private that he wanted to leave in the summer.As for the reasons, one is that the pressure brought by that position is too great. Even the always nervous Fourteenth Master can't bear it after four years.

Furthermore, he also thinks that his ability to bring the team to the current level is already a limit, and if it continues, it will be a kind of torture for Real Madrid and himself, so it is better to take advantage of everything. Hit the brakes just in time before the bad direction develops.Although Raul didn't say anything about this point, he still agreed with it in his heart.

Looking at the long history of the world's best football club for more than 120 years, Guti, who has coached the team for four years, is the second head coach who can do this, which is really rare.Except for the legendary coach Munoz in the 70s and [-]s, no Real Madrid coach can stay at the Bernabeu for four consecutive years in one term. The closest to this number before is the old coach Bosque Three and a half years created during the first phase of Galaxy Battleship.As for Mourinho, he only persisted for three years.

Including Capello, Ancelotti, Hiddink, Heynckes and other modern football masters, no matter what outstanding results they have achieved at the beginning, it is inevitable that they will encounter them in Madrid within a year or two. The bottleneck, and finally dismissed get out of class sadly and left in despair.

Therefore, Guti, who did not have much coaching experience before, was able to sit in the coaching position of Real Madrid for four years, which is already a very remarkable achievement.

However, all this has finally come to an end. Judging from the team's lineup and financial strength, if it cannot win at least one laurel in the league and the Champions League every season, then it can be considered a failure up.Under the tremendous pressure of performance, Guti's decision to resign voluntarily is not so abrupt. At least when he leaves at this time, most of Mei Linger will still look at him with a blessing mentality.And if you persist for another year and your grades don't improve significantly, then the result will be hard to say.

Ever since, Raul, who said that he still needs some time to think about it, has actually begun to think about the candidate for the new coach in his heart. As for his number one goal, naturally there is no doubt, it can only be the world's number one coach A good friend whose aura has not completely faded - Li Moody.

This is also an agreement reached by the two people in a state of half-truth and half-false when they were exchanging future development prospects many years ago, or the goal should be more precise. No matter how many people question him, history cannot deny that this old man has brought many honors to Real Madrid), the most successful Real Madrid chairman after that, and one is to become a super player who can lead the Galaxy battleship to create an unprecedented new era. coach.

And this great dream, in the summer of 2024, finally ushered in the critical moment to open the road to ultimate success.

Since it was Guti who took the initiative to put forward the suggestion of letting the virtuous, then the obstacle to becoming the Bernabeu has been completely removed. Although the retired Lafayette still has an influence that cannot be underestimated in the management of Real Madrid, Li Mudi is no longer four. He was the old man years ago, with the honor he received while coaching Arsenal and the title of No.1 handsome man recognized by most people, even the former club chairman who had some minor grievances with him before could not make a move. What a small act of blocking, because this person is indeed the best candidate for the team's new coach.

So in the afternoon of the second day, when Spain's main sports media "Marca" first disclosed the big news that Li Mudi and his family walked into Raul's villa on the Internet, even though there was no word about Real Madrid's upcoming coaching change at that time , but with the reporter's always rich imagination, he can almost think of all the possibilities in an instant, among which the most recognized by everyone is naturally the most eye-catching direction.

Since the villa of the current chairman of Real Madrid is located in a well-known wealthy area in Madrid, the security work is very tight, and Li Moody’s protection of his family is well-known all over the world, so the media cannot get out of the house in a short time. No valuable information was found from the mouth of the person concerned, so some well-connected people put their ideas on Guinness.

It's just that the old fox's tone this time is also extremely strict, and he always responds with ignorance of the problems in this regard, which makes many famous people itch their teeth with hatred, but there is nothing they can do.

However, the final breakthrough came at the beginning of May. There was a highly feasible news from Germany that Bayern Munich was approaching Ribéry, the former team star who had achieved a good record in Monaco after retiring. , I hope that this Frenchman, who is famous in the world football for his scarred face and outstanding skills, can become the head coach of the team in the new season.At the same time, the rumors that the Bundesliga overlord had contacted Li Moody before, but suddenly disappeared without any major disputes in the preliminary negotiations, were also released and attracted the attention of the outside world.

Combining the two, people quickly made up the wonderful scene that Bayern wanted to sign the Chinese man but was cut off by Real Madrid. Let alone, this conjecture is indeed not too far from the truth.

Three days later, when Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao in the penultimate round of La Liga and secured the third place in the league in advance, Guti, who attended the post-match press conference, said with a relaxed expression that he would The decision to leave after the season is a complete confirmation of the rumor that has been flying all over the sky in the previous week: the former world's number one coach is really going to coach his parent team, the Galaxy Battleship.

The choice to disclose this not-so-secret secret at this point in time is obviously in order not to have too much impact on the team's performance this season. At the same time, it is also hoped to disclose the news that the club is about to usher in new changes as soon as possible, so as to improve everyone's confidence. Morale and stability The original players may have different ideas, which is convenient for the new coach to gather people's hearts and take the initiative to adjust the lineup.

Two weeks later, La Liga ushered in the final match, and Real Madrid, which sent a large number of substitutes and young players, ended the journey of this season with a draw.

The next morning, the club's official website released stylized announcements wishing Guti a smooth future and emphasizing that Real Madrid will always be his home, announcing the temporary end of the era of the "Golden Wolf".

At a quarter past four in the evening, the main color of the background of the original white official website suddenly turned red, and then an official announcement welcoming the new coach was placed on the top position. Eight years ago, the one who led Castilla to play A Chinese man who had a perfect season finally returned to the place where his coaching career started.

This news was immediately reprinted by major sports media around the world, and became the hottest topic in the next 24 hours, even surpassing some major events in the political and financial circles.

Relevant evaluations are naturally emerging at a speed that is difficult to count specifically. Most of them are more optimistic about the future development of Li Mudi's entry into the Bernabeu. A sentence updated on the Internet has become the best golden sentence to summarize this coaching change:
"The encounter between the world's No. [-] giant and the world's No. [-] coach, no matter what era you live in, no matter how critical your eyes are, this is a perfect match!"
