Super Coach

Barcelona is a gateway to the Iberian Peninsula by the mountains and the sea. It has a Mediterranean climate. The summer is hot and dry, and the winter is mild and rainy. Unlike Madrid, the four seasons are distinct. Especially in winter and early spring, the rainfall is particularly heavy, but it rarely snows. .

Although the temperature in Barcelona rarely falls below zero in winter, it is still very cold. Especially under the drizzle, the whole city is like wet clothes that have just been pulled out from the drum washing machine, which is uncomfortable.

Guardiola, holding an umbrella, came out of the gate of La Masia, looked back at the Camp Nou in the rain, turned and walked north, he liked the feeling of strolling in Barcelona, ​​in his opinion, this It is the best way to explore Barcelona. Only in this way can you appreciate the unique charm of this most beautiful city in Europe.

In the drizzle, it adds a bit of poetry to the city.

North of the Camp Nou is Catalonia Polytechnic University, and further north is the stadium of the Barcelona Open, but Guardiola's destination will continue to go north.

Surrounded by Barcelona ’s famous wealthy area, the left and right sides of the road are enclosed mansion villas, high walls, covering all the trees in sight. From the previous plan, it is indeed patchy, but people walk Inside, there is no feeling.

If at this time, he understands the ancient Chinese poetry, he will say the last sentence, do not know the true face of Lushan, only in this mountain!

Follow the road all the way up the mountain, go straight to the mountainside, came to the gate of a closed villa, and stopped.

The gate is the same as the gates of other mansions. It does not seem to be much different. There is a doorbell on the small door next to it, and there is a surveillance camera facing here in the distance.

This is called the White House!

Is not the White House in the office of the US President, but the home of Barcelona ’s godfather Cruyff!

Has been called by the outside world for many, many years, but few reporters will ask Cruyff why you dare to call your home the White House?

His own explanation is that he likes the white decoration style and palace-style architecture, so it is called the White House, but does it have a deeper meaning? neither knows!

But Guardiola is very clear that after Rijkaard took charge of Barcelona, ​​he came here almost every week. After he took charge of Barcelona, ​​he also continued such a tradition. The difference is that Rijkaard was driving and he chose to walk.

Every time he pressed the doorbell's hand, he would force it unconsciously, as if there was such a force that wanted to drive him to retract the doorbell's hand, which made him more hard to complete such an easy action .

There is no doubt that it was Baki who opened the door.

"You came by such a ghostly weather, his golf course is at home!" Said with a strange smile.

He walked into the mansion with an umbrella, and the garden was in his sight. It looked like a two-and-a-half-storey mansion. On the first floor, there was a large specially opened glass room. Cruyff was waving his favorite golf. Cue, playing golf in the glass room.

It was hard to imagine seeing his posture comparable to Tiger Woods. Even when he was playing golf, he was still thinking about football in his mind, but why he never devoted himself to coaching football What?

At this time, Guardiola couldn't help but think of Yang Cheng's sentence, "There is a so-called detachment that requires others to complete some things that they can't accomplish, or even impossible!"

Guardiola understands the embarrassment of Rijkaard when he is in power!

For all Barcelona coaches, Cruyff is equivalent to the president above them, and they are just the executors of Cruyff's tactical will!

Of course, this does not mean that they obey Cruyff. This is precisely the smartest part of the Dutch because he only pays attention to the overall situation. The details and specific measures are handled by the head coach himself, and he proposes to the team. Suggested methods are columns, journalist interviews and even a phone call to La Porta.

In the past few years, there have been more meetings once a week!

"Come on, Josep!" When he walked into the glass room, Cruyff struck a stroke and hit the ball softly. The ball seemed to be pulled by a line and fell into the hole not far away, Netherlands The man shouted, "YES!"

"Sit!" Cruyff pointed to the seat beside the glass house.

Guardiola sat down, feeling weird. It was raining on the top and all around, but was blocked by transparent glass. The feeling of being far and near made him unable to help himself.

"How well are you preparing for the game against Real Madrid?" Cruyff came to Guardiola to sit down after handing over the club to Batchi, and he had to admit that, looking at his age, he Maintenance is very good.

Of course, playing golf every day, writing a column, saying a few words, there will be endless money, such a comfortable life who does not expect?

"Almost!" Guardiola was a little afraid of Cruyff.

This is awe from seniority and seniority, because Cruyff was the most powerful king of the Camp Nou, and he personally promoted Guardiola from the youth team to the first team, and gave him the first A chance to play, witnessed the whole process of Guardiola from a teenager to the team leader.

It can be said that everything in Guardiola's career comes directly from Cruyff's cultivation and trust. It is difficult for Guardiola to say no to Cruyff.

This is why Cruyff recommended him! [For more martial arts, please go to http://www.81zw.Com]

Rijkaard was a loyal follower of Cruyff ’s football philosophy. At that time, it was Cruyff ’s prevention. Scolari ’s plan to only die was declared dead, and in this summer of loss, he was also Ruif's shot forced Barcelona to completely oppose Mourinho's disc goal with the world's head coaches.

Two people recommended by Cruyff to Barcelona at the time, one was Guardiola and the other was Juan Dramos.

Juan Dramos was once the head coach of Barcelona B team. During his coaching of Barcelona B team, he completely became Cruyff's most loyal believer. Every time he saw Cruyff, he would respectfully call him a teacher. , And he has repeatedly admitted that his coaching philosophy comes directly from Cruyff.

Guardiola has never been Cruyff ’s first choice. The Dutch ’s first choice is Juan Brasmos. However, La Porta is for political purposes and also to appease the fans, looking for a way out for future failures. In one of the selections, Guardiola was chosen.

Guardiola himself is very clear about this, so he is always working hard to prove that he has the ability to coach Barcelona, ​​but also to work hard to get rid of the shadow from Cruyff and both need achievements!

"You and Yang Cheng have no secret at all in this game!"

When Guardiola's mind flashed countless thoughts, Cruyff began to immerse himself in the upcoming century Derby.

It is obvious that the Dutch feel that this is not a contest between Guardiola and Yang Cheng, but rather a confrontation between the football idea represented by Guardiola and Yang Cheng's football idea.

"You all arranged a substitute in the Champions League in the middle of the week. This is a good time for the main players to rest, so there is no secret in the starting lineup. If I am not wrong, Yang Cheng's starting lineup will not change!"

"The goalkeeper is Casillas defender Tiago, Silva, Ramos and Maicon will occupy three of them, but he used Miguel Torres on the left back in the middle of the week. Obviously he is also in Aveloa and Marcelo sway between the latter. After the injury comes back, can they form combat power? "

After Guardiola heard it, he took the words, "I heard that I participated in the team training and I don't see any injuries!"

Cruyff shook his head, "Don't look at it this way. The key battles and training are even different from other games. A little bit of detail may cause the game to crash, so you have to guard Marcelo!"

Guardiola nodded and agreed.

"If Aveloa is on, the goal must be Messi, let Messiendo cut him to be an effective weapon to activate the offensive!"

After a pause, Cruyff said, "Harvey, Alonso and Mascherano will all have to be careful about the pair's ability to oppress the midfielders in the midfield, this game is the most The important thing is not in other places but in our midfield, can we guarantee that our ball control area will effectively advance to Real Madrid's half. "

Guardiola is very clear that this is the key point of Barcelona and the reason why he recently chose Busquets instead of Yaya Touré. The Ivorian has repeatedly proved that his restlessness is the biggest hidden danger in the game.

Real Madrid's tactics are also forwards. The most important thing about Yang Cheng's double back tactics is whether they can move the defense forward. So the key to this game is actually who can suppress the opponent in the midfield.

"Do n’t underestimate Real Madrid ’s recent changes. Infield players cut inwards and midfield players cut out. These are very effective offensive ways of pulling the defense. It is important to note that it is best to be able to attack from the beginning Put the situation and the situation within our control, firmly suppress Real Madrid, ensure our possession of the ball, and seize the opportunity! "

The competition for rhythm and situation is very important for this game, because both teams must ensure that the defense line moves forward, so that whoever finishes better, it is easier for those who complete the rhythm to their own scope, and then Better complete your own skills and tactics, weaken the opponent, this is undoubtedly the biggest key to winning the game.

Therefore, Cruyff's idea is to attack at the beginning, using home advantage to ensure that the opportunity is available.

It can be said that this series of ideas coincides with Guardiola's previous plan. After all, the two people's ideas and ideas are in the same vein, and Real Madrid is not mysterious. It has become the research of all head coaches in the world. There is nothing strange about the same subject.

But they are not without disagreements, such as the center of the team.

"Still decide Ibrahimovic?" Cruyff looked at Guardiola as if looking at a stubborn student.

Guardiola nodded, "He has performed very well recently and scored a lot of goals. I think he has adapted to Barcelona's war ..."

But before he even spoke, Cruyff waved to interrupt him, "In La Liga, Real Madrid is different from other teams!"

The difference is that Cruyff's tone is very heavy now. Obviously they have discussed this topic many times, but Guardiola sticks to his opinions. He thinks Ibrahimovic can make Barcelona's tactics more three-dimensional. Hua can be seen in many recent games.

But Cruyff didn't think so. Although he didn't stop the team from letting Eto'o out in the summer, but with the deepening of the schedule, he has changed his view. He thinks Ibrahimovic is not suitable for Barcelona today. Letting go of Eto'o is the biggest mistake, and continuing to use Ibrahimovic in important games will be a mistake.

"Bo Yang has performed very well recently, and I think he can make a difference in the century derby!" Cruyff made his opinion.

Guardiola looked at Cruyff. He followed the Dutch ’s ideas and opinions on many issues, but on this matter, he felt that he was right. Tiago Silva has no advantage. "

"But he is very diligent and more able to integrate into the team's system!" Cruyff reminded.

After that, he did not forget to remind him again, "Joseph, sometimes the head coach insists on his prestige and position, but he must not let his personal grievances affect his half-break and his stupid self-confidence. Covered his eyes so that he could not see the situation clearly. "

Guardiola doesn't like Bojan. This is a well-known thing. The latter is a rare forward trained by Barcelona from home in recent years. After being promoted to the first team, he performed well and was sent by all Barcelona fans. Wang but also led to Bo Yang more hope to play in the first team, rather than the second team.

So last year, Guardiola repeatedly asked Boyan to participate in the second team competition, when adding some exercise opportunities, Boyan refused, and even the two quarreled on the training ground, and then Guardiola came to power, Boyan thoroughly Falling out of favor is replaced by Pedro, Busquets and other young teenagers.

Cruyff took a deep look at Guardiola. He also knew very well that this was Guardiola's persistent insistence. If the two continue to argue, the end will only make the result more unmanageable. This is Cru. What Yves did not want to see.

He never forgot how Nunez drove him out of the Nou Camp in the later stage of Barcelona, ​​excluding him from the core of Barcelona, ​​because he talked too much, causing Nunez to be angry if not later. After the dark period of Gaspat, Cruyff can hardly return to Camp Nou through La Porta.

Since that time he has learned one thing.

No one can accept that a strong man is gesticulating on top of his head, even for his most devout believers, so he is now changing his way of participation. He began to only give more control and grasp in the overall situation.

Therefore, when it comes to sensitive points of disagreement, Cruyff wisely chooses to stop and change the subject.

"The outside world has been turbulent recently!" Standing up from his seat, Cruyff looked out of the glass house. The rain fell on the glass, and everything that made him look outside became distorted. "Don't let it The emotions of the fans affect the team, and do n’t let the grievances and grievances accumulated by the team over the years be transferred to the players. "

For this situation, Guardiola naturally attaches great importance to it, because he is well aware that every game of Barcelona against Real Madrid will inevitably be seen by fans as a confrontation between the Catalan region and the Castillas. Is on the level of national confrontation.

There is no guarantee that there is no boost from La Porta, because his goal is not Barcelona at all, but to participate in politics, and the political arena in Catalonia is his foothold, so he has now begun to consciously follow for himself The most typical way to raise chips in political participation is to incite national sentiment.

Independence has always been the emotion of the people of Catalonia. During the Franco dictatorship, they were the victims of dictatorship, but they have resisted, and in today ’s democratic era, their emotion is a little bit None have been resolved, but intensified.

I believe that if there weren't a Century Derby with two games a year, there would be no vent for their emotions.

But in recent years, especially in the past two years, Barcelona has almost lost all directions, which has pushed all Barcelona fans ’emotions to a whole new level, plus some politicians who have nothing to do for votes and prestige. Scrupulous hype and rendering, this is equivalent to pouring oil on the flame of the raging national emotions.

This national sentiment is indeed conducive to the team in the face of Real Madrid from the capital, representing the royal power, more fighting, but once out of control, it is not Guardiola can control.

The last century Derby in Bernabeu was the best example, it is clear that the player has completely lost control!

"Yang Cheng is a terrible opponent. In the face of such an opponent, everyone can beat him and his Real Madrid only if they are fully committed and exert their strongest strength. To do this, we must ensure that we can successfully play our own football! "

This was the advice Cruyff gave when Guardiola was leaving, and Guardiola was not clear about this.

On his way down the mountain, he was thinking about this game and Cruyff ’s words, he wanted to get more winning chips and methods from it, so that when he saw a reporter at the intersection of the community, It ’s too late to hide.

"Hello, Mr. Guardiola!" A reporter immediately caught up, "Are you going to visit Cruyff?"

Obviously, they knew it already, so they blocked it here.

Guardiola nodded.

"According to our understanding, you have to visit him on the mountain every game, which makes us wonder, what role does Cruyff play in the current Barcelona? Is Barcelona's head coach you, or What about him? "This reporter's speech is a bit bad, because he is a reporter from the Madrid area.

"He is my predecessor and has achieved impressive results in Barcelona. I just discussed football with him. He never borrowed money and never interfered with the management and tactics of the team." Guardiola obviously Some were angry.

No one wants to be faced with such a suspicion, is it?

"All I can say is that although John's opinion is very important, but I am in charge of the game!" Guardiola said with anger.

After, he stopped accepting interviews and left the reporter and went straight ahead.

But his anger is only the beginning of a century derby battle!
