Chapter 203 Revolutionary Guardiola
In two games in the Premier League and one Champions League game, Manchester City suffered three consecutive defeats. Coupled with the previous 3:3 draw with Celtic, four games without a win quickly erased the scorching heat of the previous ten consecutive victories.
In the face of media public opinion that habitually praises the high and downplays the low, the team has also habitually issued a gag order. No player is allowed to accept interviews about the team during this sensitive period.
However, after Zhuoyang greeted club CEO Soriano and head coach Guardiola, he took the initiative to talk to the media about the team's current problems.
"There is no doubt that Manchester City is a strong team, full of competitiveness in both the Premier League and Europe. But it cannot be denied that Manchester City is not yet a giant. We have not yet reached the level of giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United and Liverpool. realm.
Upgrading from a strong team to a wealthy club is a hurdle that requires time to accumulate, but it also requires an opportunity, or revolution. It takes more than just one or two championships to achieve this leap.
The last team to make such a leap was Chelsea, and the person who led the Blue Bridge to take off was Mourinho. He led Chelsea to the revolution of becoming a giant. "
Mourinho's eyes were moist, it turned out that Zhuoyang understood him so well.
"If we look back further, we will find that in the establishment of every giant, there is such a figure and such a legendary coach.
Manchester United's Ferguson, Liverpool's Shankly, Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, Bayern's Beckenbauer, Milan's Sacchi, Barcelona's Cruyff, and many more. Almost every giant has such a head coach. He completed a revolution in techniques, tactics and team structure, allowing the team to evolve from a strong team to a giant.
The coach who is making a revolution now, and Simeone of Atletico Madrid, he will definitely succeed. "
Bandit coach Simeone's eyes were filled with tears. It turned out that Zhuo Yang understood him best.
"Manchester City's revolutionary is Guardiola. He is injecting the genes of a wealthy club into Manchester City, starting from the team's new techniques and tactics, to the team structure and club construction.
A trend-setting technical and tactical school is a must-have for wealthy families. If you want to make a leap, you must experience such a tactical revolution. "
"Winning one or two championships is actually not difficult for a coach of Guardiola's level, but it is very difficult to break through oneself, break through the barriers of wealthy families, and complete the team's revolution. Guardiola knows this very well. a little.
All changes in Manchester City since the new season revolve around Guardiola's reforms and innovations. This is his self-challenge, and it is also an opportunity for Manchester City, an opportunity to evolve from a strong team to a wealthy club. "
"Revolution is not a treat. If there is a revolution, there will be pain, and the pain will last for a period of time. The team's recent losing streak is part of the pain. Guardiola needs to get through it, and each of us needs to work hard. If we don't want to be Eliminate, or sit back and enjoy the victory, everyone in the team must keep up with Guardiola's pace."
"We are carrying out a revolution, creating the history of Manchester City, and creating the future of Manchester City. All of this will be under the leadership of Guardiola."
Guardiola's eyes were moist. Sure enough, Zhuo Yang understood him best.
Zhuoyang's speech in the media made everyone look at Manchester City's recent losing streak from a higher perspective, and look at Guardiola's iron fist, stubbornness and narrow-mindedness. This is clearly the necessary stubbornness for a successful person.
It’s not like Manchester City has never won the Premier League title. Mancini and Pellegrini both brought league trophies to Manchester City.
But is this why Manchester City is a giant? He still has the image of a nouveau riche, a country bumpkin who smells like copper. The princes from all walks of life in the Premier League have never shown the same awe to Manchester City as they do to Manchester United and other teams.
And it is clear from the perspective of commercial development that before the Chinese capital that followed Zhuo Yang, except for Mansour’s own family’s oil money, there was no serious commercial input at all.
It's also Nike's jersey sponsorship. The amount Manchester City received is not even half of Barcelona's, and it doesn't have the kind of flattering behavior like Audi's enthusiastic support of Real Madrid's annual car donation.
As for the influence and appeal among fans, let alone mention it. Within Manchester City, Manchester City is far from being able to compete with Manchester United.
After Zhuo Yang broke through this layer of window paper, the media that should have criticized Manchester City and Guardiola continued to criticize them, but the Manchester City people themselves began to reflect: Do they want temporary happiness or a bright future?
With Zhuo Yang's support, the pressure on Guardiola has been relieved, and losing streak is no longer a problem. Chairman Mubarak told everyone internally on behalf of boss Mansour: We will give Guardiola enough time, and the management will support Guardiola's reforms.
This is equivalent to a warning to those with ulterior motives: Not only is it impossible for Guardiola to dismiss get out of class, but he will also coach Manchester City for a long time. To oppose him is to seek death.
As long as Guardiola thinks you are a piece of sand in the team, consider yourself unlucky. There is no right or wrong here, only personal preference. Joe Hart is an example.
Yaya Toure is also becoming an example. Whether others want to be an example needs to be carefully considered.
The first smart guy to wake up was Kompany.
30-year-old Vincent Kompany joined Manchester City eight years ago. At that time, Zhuo Yang was still at AC Milan and Sun Jihai had just left Manchester City. Kompany is currently the oldest person in the team and the team captain. In fact, his leg injury has healed, but he has never been included in Guardiola's starting lineup. He has been on the bench for a few games.
Over the past two seasons, Kompany and French defender Eliquim Mangala have been Manchester City's most stable central defender partnership. But after Guardiola came, after only two warm-up matches before he was in shape, he arbitrarily believed that Mangala did not meet his tactical requirements, directly put him on the list of people to be purged, and finally went to Barcelona on loan. Lencia.
A lonely figure in the cold pond, Kompany felt the cold, and he would inevitably have thoughts in his heart. He even asked his agent to release news through the media that other Premier League teams planned to recruit him in the winter window to find out Manchester City's attitude towards him.
I dare not say that Manchester City should choose between him and Guardiola, but I just want to understand my own weight.
Neither the club nor Guardiola responded, except to let Kompany sit on the bench and count stars after recovering from injury.
Zhuoyang's speech in the media made Kompany understand that his situation is too small. He only looks at the scattered silver in front of him, but cannot see the golden avenue in the future.
Kompany didn't dare to pretend to be asleep anymore, and quickly took the initiative to make an appointment with Guardiola for a heart-to-heart talk. It's not clear what to say specifically, and it's unclear whether the two have a close relationship, but in the first game of the Premier League, Kompany started.
Zhuoyang's words made Manchester City people see the light, but do you think it will be smooth sailing? Is the competition hand overturned? nonexistent!
The pain of revolution continues, and the ups and downs continue.
