Football: From Bundesliga debut

When it is about to enter December.

England's notorious Sun newspaper released a piece of news that affected English football.

[Manchester City's new coach - Guardiola is coming to the Etihad! 】

At the same time, the manager consultant of the Manchester City Club and Guardiola have been attached to a western restaurant in Munich. In the picture, the two have a happy conversation. It can be seen that there is a story in it.

This is undoubtedly even more rumored by the media: Manchester City's coach next season will only be Guardiola, and as for Pellegrini, he will directly dismiss get out of class at the end of the season.

Some people even asserted: After Guardiola officially takes over Manchester City, Manchester City will start a big cleanup, and at worst players who pass and control football will leave the team.

This undoubtedly made Moussa Sissoko, who is negotiating a contract extension, decide to wait and see. This is his penultimate year contract at Manchester City.

At the same time, there is also Zheng Lin, the guy who has not formally started negotiations on the contract.

The rest of the contracts are more or less still some time before the contract expires.

So the two most critical things for Manchester City at present are the renewal of these two and the reinforcement of the newcomers.

When it was learned that Guardiola might coach Manchester City, Manchester City fans and social media began to cheer and celebrate.

This also annoyed Bayern fans. In their eyes, Guardiola's non-renewal of the contract has something to do with Manchester City. If they hadn't wantonly seduced their coach there, maybe they could really stay in Bayern.

However, Bayern's management knows very well that it's not that they can't keep Guardiola, but that they are also looking for changes. After they won the Champions League, they have not been able to reach the final for more than two years. It is a question worth pondering.

At the same time, there is another point that if Guardiola's tactical thinking needs to be turned into reality, their signing plan cannot keep up normally. This is the most important thing.

After all, Bayern does not have enough funds to sign in. They must plan carefully and spend every penny wisely.

Since this is the case, it is not a wrong thing to let others leave.

At the start of the fifth round of the group stage, the Bayern Munich club officially issued a statement;
[As for whether Guardiola will leave Bayern at the end of the season, the current news is that we are still negotiating, and the specific results will be confirmed and announced in the middle of next month. 】

The news on this side also proves one point, that is, Bayern may not be able to stay close to Guardiola to stay in Bayern, otherwise, it is impossible for such a passage to appear.

As one of the most popular candidates to leave Manchester City next season, Zheng Lin already has doubts about whether he will stay in Manchester City. After all, he is not a person who can be liked by everyone, so Guardiola does not like it He is normal.

Regarding this news, the current Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini accepted an interview: "I don't know about whether Ho Puse will take over my position, and I don't want to know, but I am currently the head coach of Manchester City. Before I leave, I will keep the team competitive!"

Affected by this turmoil, Manchester City lost to Juventus in the away game.

Juventus won Manchester City 1-0. I don’t know what to say here. Is it the restraint of style or other reasons? The current Manchester City has not played against the Serie A overlord Juventus in these two games. can win.

But fortunately, there is still a gap of the last point. As long as they win Borussia in the end, it will not be a problem for Manchester City to qualify first in the Champions League group.

In the 14th round of the Premier League, Manchester City won Southampton 3-1 at home.

At this time, when everyone felt that the matter was about to come to an end, the most confusing thing happened.

On December 12, Guardiola officially announced that he will officially leave Bayern after the end of this season.

The turmoil that this sentence can bring is not small at all, and it directly affects Manchester City, which is preparing for the game.

In the 15th round of the league, Manchester City lost 0-2 to Stoke City. This result was somewhat unexpected, but for Manchester City, whose mind is no longer on the game, this result is not surprising.

This is also the situation that caused them to fail to score when they should score. Leicester City behind them currently has 32 points, only one point behind.

At the same time, the archrival in the same city has already scored 29 points, which seems to be closing the gap.

For Manchester City, which wants to win the league championship, this is a serious locker room turmoil, which has affected the normal operation of the team.

The core players will not worry about their status because of this. Only when the team does not have a firm foothold, it is just which of the rotation players are the most affected by this incident.

Regarding whether he is the person Guardiola needs to stay, Mousse Sissoko thinks he is not. His technical style is somewhat different from that of Guardiola's midfielder since he coached, so he has already moved his mind to leave.

Not to mention, the current Tottenham are already in contact with him, which may be a good choice for him.

And Zheng Lin has also fallen into silence. In terms of the contract, he and Manchester City have not yet reached an agreement.

After all, in the matter of Xia Chuang, Manchester City punished the consultant involved in racial issues to a certain extent, but his position was only demoted on the surface.

Zheng Lin has always disliked this treatment, but he is only a "wage boy" of Manchester City, so he is also thinking about his future. I got a bad news.

In the words of Xiao Shisan: You have a certain talent, but you have not thought about how to use you, and De Bruyne is better at passing the ball. It is also good to defend the midfielder, a typical midfielder Panacea oil, great for rotation!
Thinking about it carefully, the current Zheng Lin has really played in multiple positions, such as defensive midfielder, midfielder, and forward; the entire midfield has been played once, and the current performance can be more directly displayed as the forward.

The left and right midfielders can be reinforced by signings. In Guardiola's plan, De Bruyne will not move. In his eyes, De Bruyne is the first midfielder in the future. What needs to be given to him The configuration is to partner with an excellent midfielder and midfield partner.

Zheng Lin is a perfect substitute for the time being, and he can become a very important rotation player. This is the result predicted by Xiao Shisan to Zheng Lin.

But this is not what Zheng Lin wants.

After the loss to Stoke City, the dressing room was a bit silent. Kompany wanted to say something several times, but he didn't know what to say.

As a young man, Zheng Lin thought for a moment, then clapped his hands to attract the attention of his teammates.

"Guys, regarding next season's coaching issue, we can't do much, but our goal for this season has not been achieved yet, are we just giving up?"

The goal of this season, what Manchester City wants is to break through the top 16.

At present, it is only the first step of the Long March, and they have not yet entered the draw for the top 16, so they still need to insist on going down!
"no!"

Zheng Lin was relieved by the answers of his teammates. He is actually not good at the so-called locker room speeches.

"Since this is the case, let's work hard! And we can't say whether the head coach next season will be an old man. If he wants to leave, then we don't have something as a farewell gift, isn't that justified?"

Pellegrini's departure?

As the head coach in the past few years, his performance is not very outstanding, but he has done a very good job in this position. A league championship is the starting point of his coaching.

If there is no such thing this season, they must have opened up the point difference with the team behind them!

"Let's try to win a few championships. If the old man wants to leave, it will be a farewell gift. If he doesn't leave, then it will be a gift to celebrate the old man's remaining in office!"

Give a champion as a gift!
This point is agreed by most people in the locker room. For them, nothing is more representative than the championship.

There are still championships that can be competed for this season, such as the league championship, the Champions League championship, the FA Cup, the League Cup, etc., all of which require their efforts!
"Then we will work hard to play the follow-up games well. Don't think about the Champions League for now. England's three local championships are our goal!"

Kompany has set goals for the players, and they will attack these three champions!
Looking at his teammates, Zheng Lin already knew in his heart that the wind was blowing. It is still unknown who will be at the helm of the Manchester City ship, but Guardiola is already leading the way.
