Chapter 815 Guardiola's Sorry
English football began to really pay attention to the influence of alcohol, and that was after Arsene Wenger coached Arsenal.

Wenger has carried out a series of drastic reforms in the Gunners, the focus of which is to change the eating habits of the players, especially alcohol, but it is still difficult to eliminate it, it can only be said to be controlled as much as possible.

In fact, over the years, the drinking situation of English players has improved a lot.

At least in the past, each team would go to the bar in groups after the game or training.

Therefore, bar culture is actually a very important part of English football culture, and many clubs are even established in bars.

In contrast, now that players' alcoholism can become news, it can be seen that there has been an improvement.

But culture is hard to get rid of, especially for native English players who have been fascinated by it since childhood.

Young people in their early twenties are just when they are strong and have endless energy. Even if they drank in the dark the night before, they will basically recover after waking up the next morning after sleeping. This gives them a wrong impression that alcohol has no effect on the player's body.

As everyone knows, the harm of alcohol is silent.

As we all know, the foundation of football is the body, muscle strength is very important for a professional player, and testosterone is the key to muscle growth and recovery.

Studies have shown that a bottle of beer will lose a quarter of testosterone in the next ten to sixteen hours.

The specific derivation process is very complicated, but it is an accepted fact that drinking alcohol has a great impact on muscle recovery.

Because of this, Wenger tried his best to prevent Arsenal players from drinking.

Now, Guardiola also intends to implement a ban on alcohol at Manchester City.

Su Dong is also very supportive, and said that he will do his best to cooperate with Guardiola's alcohol ban in the locker room.

……

After talking about the players drinking, Begiristan, Guardiola and Su Dong sat in the office and chatted about the situation of the team.

In a fit of anger just now, Guardiola really wanted to sell those four players, but after thinking about it carefully, this would not work either.

The Premier League policy is there. Without these players, where can Manchester City introduce high-level local players?
Nowadays, England's local high-level players are all sweets, and every one of them has to be held in the palm of their hand. Not only are they worth a lot, but they also have a high annual salary, so Manchester United does not hesitate to use the sky-high annual salary to keep Rooney.

"Blackburn is about to be acquired by the Indian poultry giant. Coach Allardyce has made it clear that he hopes to sign Wright Phillips. You have to prepare in advance. If you want to keep someone, you have to give him more opportunities to play. If you don't plan to stay, it is estimated that you may not be able to keep it during the winter break." Begiristan reminded Guardiola.

Wright Phillips is also the number one winger in England. For teams like Manchester City and Chelsea, it is really nothing, and it is even difficult to play games, but it may not be the case for other teams.

Not only Blackburn, but even Liverpool are interested in him.

Violence originally didn't have money to sign in, but now that it has been acquired, I believe it can afford money.

As for the players, he definitely hopes to participate in more games.

As a local player, if he really went to Blackburn, he would definitely make no less money than he did in Manchester City.

Guardiola is also quite a headache, because none of the English players in the team really suit his taste. If possible, he really hopes to form the team with all foreign aid.

But there is no way, the Premier League policy stipulates that there must be at least eight local players, and they cannot be avoided.

"Losing the League Cup, we have the opportunity to exercise and inspect young players. Next is against Wolves. I consider letting Trippier play as a right back, but if Wright Phillips really wants to go, let's go." Guardiola said helplessly.

His employment has always been very willful, and it is difficult for him to convince himself to give opportunities to those who do not meet his requirements.

Trippier and Sterling, these are the two local players that Guardiola values ​​most at present. They are both young players. After they are trained, they will be trained by Manchester City.

Trippier is 20, but Sterling is still young.

"How is your technical department investigating the Brazilian Santos player named Neymar?" Guardiola asked suddenly.

This player is also a rare genius. He is young, but he is very talented and has a clear bone. He is a good material.

"Neymar is very sought-after now. Not only Chelsea, but also Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Arsenal and Bayern...almost all the giants are paying attention to him, but his ownership is very complicated. We have contacted Mendes. He is also helpless with Neymar, so the progress is slow."

"What about Eden Hazard in Ligue [-]?" Guardiola asked again.

Su Dong has been listening silently. He has known about Neymar for a long time, but this is the first time he heard that the technical department is also investigating the Belgian genius in Lille. It is said that Arsenal, Chelsea and Bayern are also paying close attention to him.

Hazard is the best-performing player in Ligue [-] this season. He is the main force of Belgian national teams at all levels. He is good at playing on the two sides and the front midfielder.

He was selected as the best rookie in Ligue [-] in both the [-] and [-] seasons. He was selected into the Ligue [-] best team in the [-] season and became one of the best players in Ligue [-] this season.

Not long ago, some British media believed that he is the next Cristiano Ronaldo, but in fact, he is more like Messi in terms of height and characteristics.

"Lille has not performed very well recently. Hazard is very important to them. It is estimated that they will not sell during the winter break. It will be next summer at the earliest. The initial estimate of the transfer fee is between 500 million euros and 2000 million euros. At the same time, they have to compete with Arsenal, Bayern and Chelsea. They are also paying attention to Hazard."

When dealing with this kind of young rookie, the rich teams are always more cautious, they will pay attention and follow up for a long time.

But if Manchester City makes a move, they will quickly make a move to grab it.

This is not only the case with Neymar and Hazard, but also the two Belgian talents that Manchester City wanted to introduce before, De Bruyne and Courtois. Even Barcelona's Thiago and Bellerin, Manchester City also received competition from Arsenal.

Nowadays, with the situation in European football, the influx of foreign capital is frantic, and the demand for outstanding talents is getting higher and higher.

Any manager with a little bit of foresight can see that in the next few years, the value and annual salary of European football players will inevitably rise again. Manchester United's willingness to renew Rooney with such a high salary is probably out of this consideration.

The contract lasts for five or six years, which seems high now, but it may not be in another one or two years.

…………

Su Dong returned to Carrington in Guardiola's car.

Along the way, the two were chatting about the current situation of the team.

Being able to defeat Arsenal [-]-[-] in the extremely unfavorable situation of a red card plus a penalty kick, Manchester City's morale has also been greatly improved, and their fighting spirit is also very high.

People like Gareth Barry and Joe Hart drink heavily, and they don't necessarily mean to celebrate after the war.

Of course, slack is a given.

Guardiola's attitude is that he must be severely criticized and punished. After all, this is the second time he has committed a crime and cannot be tolerated.

But if you want to talk about selling people, it's just a moment of anger.

"I really feel now that we have a chance to hit the league championship." Guardiola drove the car, looking ahead, and said very firmly, obviously he himself agrees with this sentence very much.

The same is true for Su Dong, "Don't worry, I will manage the locker room well."

After Guardiola heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Su Dong, then quickly turned back and continued to look forward.

He could feel Su Dong's mood at this moment, because Su Dong actually didn't want to be the captain at all. At the beginning, he tried everything possible to persuade him with emotion and reason.

Today, Su Dong not only has to play and score goals for Manchester City, but also manages the locker room, but he has also met so many teammates who like to toss, and he is probably very speechless in his heart.

If he hadn't been the captain, he could have put his burden on it and put it on his shoulders.

As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.

"Sorry!" Guardiola said suddenly.

The carriage was very quiet. Su Dong heard it clearly, but he couldn't believe it. He suspected that he had heard it wrong. He turned his head and looked at Guardiola who was driving. The Spaniard didn't know whether he was afraid to look at him, or he didn't notice his gaze. He kept looking straight ahead.

"I know, in fact, you don't like being the captain. If it wasn't for me, you would definitely have rejected it."

Su Dong remained silent and did not deny that he really didn't like it.

His friends Raúl and Totti, captains of Real Madrid and Roma, worked hard.

Even Bayern's captain Lahm looks relaxed, but in fact there are a lot of things.

The locker room is like a vanity fair. The captain needs to weigh the interests of all parties and handle the relationship between the locker room, the coaching staff, and the management. The status is very important, but there are many things and great responsibilities.

Especially for Su Dong, who is both the captain and the number one star in the team, the pressure can be imagined.

"Don't talk about these mother-in-laws, the captain wants to be the captain, anyway." Su Dong laughed at the end, "In any case, your task is to adapt the team's tactics, build a competitive team, and formulate targeted tactics for each game."

"And my task is to manage the locker room well, lead the players to fully cooperate with you, implement your tactics, and defeat the opponent on the court. As long as I can win in the end and win the championship, all of this is worth it."

Su Dong's statement made Guardiola nod his head uncontrollably. Thousands of words were finally reduced to two words.

"Thank you!"

No one could understand the pressure he was under last season. After investing so much money, he still couldn't make it to the Champions League. At the worst time, he even doubted that he would be fired, but in the end he survived.

The team has gone smoothly this season, but Guardiola knows very well how important Su Dong is.

At least in the minds of the club management, he is more important than his head coach!
