Chapter 12 Guardiola

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng has determined the first few people to grab.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But it's not over yet.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It's not just a few people.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It's just that Ibrahimovic's matter is the most urgent.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;There is another person who is almost in a hurry with Ibrahimovic.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;We still have to start with Valencia itself.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In Changsheng's plan, Valencia's tactical formation in the new season will be based on 4231, which requires two midfielders.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Valencia happens to have two qualified midfielders.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Albelda (d_albelda) and Baraja (ruben_baraja),.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Albelda is an excellent midfielder trained by Valencia himself.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He was loaned to Villarreal for two seasons and became the main force of Villarreal.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He also had a one-year truce due to a broken leg bone in the 1997-98 season.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But injuries can break his bones, but not the spirit of this Valencian.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;After returning from injury, he performed well when he was loaned to Villarreal for the second time. Thirty-five appearances in the league, scoring two goals.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Next, relying on his outstanding performance in Villarreal, after returning to Valencia, he started as a substitute player and gradually gained the main position.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;And now he is only twenty-three years old.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng also knows the height he can reach in the future.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;For a long time, he and Baraja were not only Valencia's main midfielders. It is also the main midfielder combination of the Spanish national team.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The two of them cooperated seamlessly in the midfield and was one of the contributors to Valencia's second Champions League final last season.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Valencia's defense is very good, but if it only relies on the five veterans in the defense, it may not be so good.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Baraja was not trained by Valencia himself. He first made his debut in his hometown team Valladolid. After five seasons at Valladolid, he moved to Atletico Madrid.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;For the first three seasons, he has been in Atletico Madrid's b team, which is the reserve team. From the 199899 season, he was transferred to the first team. In the first season, he played only eight games and scored one goal. In the second season, he quickly became the main player of Atletico Madrid. He played 26 times and scored four goals. But his outstanding performances did not save the fate of Atletico Madrid, who were relegated after that season. And Baraja is unwilling to follow Atletico Madrid to the second division-he has played enough low-level leagues when he was in the Atletico Madrid b team.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He was taken to Mestalla by Valencia with a record transfer fee of 12.5 million US dollars.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;As soon as he left, he became the main midfielder. He made 35 appearances last season and scored four goals.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Baraja is characterized by excellent defense, accurate positioning, outstanding header, and a unique threatening long shot. Often score goals.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;During his five seasons at Atletico Madrid, he scored fourteen goals. In the five seasons he played for Valladolid, he scored 13 goals.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;As a midfielder. This number of goals is not low.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Compared with Baraja's offensive and defensive balance, Albelda is more specialized in defense.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;If there is no accident, these two people will be Chang Sheng's main midfielder combination in the new season.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But in this way, the team will have no midfielder to substitute.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The two old midfielders last season were Deschamps and Luis Mira. Both men are retired.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In this way. Valencia only has Baraja and Albelda in the midfielder position.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It is impossible for these two midfielders to last a season...

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So Chang Sheng had to find a substitute for the midfielder.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;If it's just an ordinary midfielder as a substitute, Chang Sheng doesn't have to worry.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng had a plan that was born in his mind from his last days at Getafe.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He does not rule out playing Guardiola's Barcelona tactics in world football a few years in advance.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Only given the right opportunity.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Even if there is no such opportunity in the future, he still wants to learn more about Barcelona's tactics, especially the inside information he heard from Barcelona's own people, and even the helm.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;After all, in the future. Chang Sheng thinks that Barcelona will be a strong enemy for him. Now that he can learn more about the enemy, he will have a better chance of winning in the future.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So this time Changsheng is aiming at... Josep Guardiola.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In April this year, Guardiola announced that he would leave Camp Nou after the end of the season.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;When Gaspart inherited the mantle of Nunes and became the chairman of the Barcelona club, Guardiola was no longer the core figure of the team, coupled with the division within the Barcelona team Contradictions, which make Guardiola very tired.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So he made the decision to leave Barcelona.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng knew that Guardiola didn't want to go to Brescia at first, but because of hesitation, he lost the time to choose.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;If I forcefully intervene at this time, give him a clear signal, and then promise benefits, I believe it should be possible to bring him over from Camp Nou.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Valencia is better than a small team like Brescia.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The only problem is that Guardiola may not be willing to stay in Spain because it would put him against Barcelona.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But Chang Sheng can write such a clause into the contract: Guardiola can not play in the game against Barcelona.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Ibrahimovic Changsheng can get rid of Llorente to deal with it. Guardiola, Changsheng plans to go to Barcelona to visit this young coach who later became all-powerful.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;On the other hand, Carvalho, Changsheng decided to hand over to the club's general manager Pittaqi.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It stands to reason that the general managers of Spanish football clubs are all powerful figures, and Pitage is no exception. Chang Sheng robbed him of the transfer right, although the other party didn't say anything on the surface. But I will definitely feel uncomfortable.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;This is the experience gained by Changsheng in Getafe.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;This time, he plans to flex his muscles in Valencia, so he can't always be restrained. If there are too many enemies in Juebu, I am afraid that the end will be the same as in Getafe.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So he wants to build a good relationship with the general manager this time.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In Spanish football clubs, the chairman is a mascot most of the time, and the person with real power is the manager.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;If you can build a good relationship with the manager, it will be of great help to yourself.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So Chang Sheng took the initiative to show his favor. Let the general manager Pitage handle a player transfer, Chang Sheng thinks this should be regarded as a distribution of his power to Pitage, right?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In this way, Pitage should be much less wary of himself.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So Chang Sheng called Pitage again.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Tell him the matter.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Pitage is not as straightforward as Llorente. He considered it before agreeing to go to Portugal.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Then Chang Shengli used the fax machine in the hotel to send the player information he needed to Pitage.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Next, he started to organize the materials in his room.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;At the same time, I called to start booking a ticket.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He wants to go to Barcelona as soon as possible.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He's been stuck in his hotel room in Valencia for days.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;※ ※ ※

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;When Chang Sheng was at Barcelona Airport. He just got off the plane. He took his phone out of his pocket and turned it back on.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He doesn't have Guardiola's phone number, doesn't know where Guardiola lives, and he doesn't even know the phone number of Guardiola's agent.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In fact, many coaches must have the phone numbers of those well-known agents.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;During this period of time, many text messages similar to self-introduction have appeared on Chang Sheng's mobile phone.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It's all agents doing self-promotion, hoping that Chang Sheng can take a fancy to their players.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;When Chang Sheng was the head coach of Getafe, he never enjoyed such treatment.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The brokers follow the sharks behind the slave ship, and they are more sensitive than ordinary people to the bloody smell emanating from their interests.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;For them, Getafe's coach Chang Sheng is an insignificant figure. First of all, he was inexperienced and a nobody. Many people don't know him at all. Even if I want to send a text message, I don't know his phone number.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Secondly, he has no coaching experience and only has a one-year contract. Who knows when he will leave. If the coaching performance is not good and he is dismissed after only two months, wouldn't all the thought and effort spent in the text messages sent by the agent be in vain?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Third. Getafe is a club with no money, recommend players to them and they can't afford to buy them...

Andnbp;

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But it is different now, Changsheng led Getafe to win the second division championship and the Copa del Rey championship in one fell swoop. He has a great reputation and is regarded as the best among young coaches. Now he has signed a three-year contract with Valencia, a strong team in Spain.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In the eyes of the broker, he instantly changed from a junk stock to a potential stock.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Valencia's large investment in the transfer market in the past few years has made these agents feel as if they have been beaten.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;And they also did some understanding of Chang Sheng, they know that Chang Sheng likes to hold the power of transfer in their own hands, not to the club manager.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So they took office as the new coach and took the initiative to send text messages to Chang Sheng to build a good relationship and establish contact, paving the way for future sales of their players.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But among the agents who sent Chang Sheng a text message, there was no Guardiola's agent.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So Chang Sheng doesn't know Guardiola's phone number.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But it doesn't matter, he doesn't know, of course someone knows.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He called his agent Kate Gracie: "Help me check the phone number of Guardiola's agent Josep Maria Oloviteg (ep_a_tg), and text Send it over."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Five minutes after he put down the phone, Kate Gracie sent a text message to Chang Sheng's cell phone.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The above is Josep Maria Oloviteg's phone number.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In the lobby of Barcelona Airport, Chang Sheng called this person.

&np;

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The strategy to snatch Guardiola officially begins. . .
