Chapter 506 Football has nothing to do with life and death
4 month 4 number.

London.

Having just finished his adaptive training at White Hart Lane, Sun Wu finally received the call after returning to the hotel.

"Hey, Uncle Patrick, what's the matter?" Sun Wu pulled his ear with his right hand unconsciously.

"Last time your proposal..."

Before Patrick could finish his sentence, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly changed.

"Thank you, Best." Guardiola's voice sounded a little rushed, "Although you just said it casually..."

Sun Wu breathed a sigh of relief silently, "Pep, what's wrong?"

"Tito was found to have a parotid gland tumor." Guardiola said in a low tone, "In addition, old Ferdy was also found to have a lung tumor."

On vacation last week, Sun Wu was on vacation in Barcelona. I heard from Patrick that Guardiola decided not to renew his contract. Next season is likely to be assistant coach Tito Vilanova as the head coach.

The memory point in Sun Wu's mind was awakened at that moment, and he recalled that Vilanova suffered from cancer and died soon.

Sun Wu found out that Patrick didn't know about Vilanova's condition...maybe he hasn't found out yet.

Knowing that the Barcelona staff does not participate in the monthly physical examination of the players, Sun Wu tentatively mentioned to Guardiola, who is a guest, that in German clubs, the staff will also participate in the monthly physical examination of the players. Extensive physical examination.

So, in this case, Vilanova's illness was discovered in advance, and an old Ferdy was also brought out.

After asking a few words about his condition, Sun Wu hung up the phone but did not put down the phone. Holding the phone tightly, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and watched the night scene of London gradually entering the night.

Football is higher than life and death?

No, football has never been about life or death.

Sun Wu regretted why he didn't remember before...

He clearly remembers that when he went to Barcelona for the first time, Vilanova teased and chatted with him about the tactical differences between the Premier League and La Liga...

When he was seriously injured and returned to China, Vilanova once sent an email to encourage him, "There is one road missing, and you still have 99 roads"...

When he set sail again and came to La Masia, apart from Patrick, Vilanova was the first to welcome him, and strongly recommended him to Barcelona B team coach Enrique twice in a row.

……

Sun Wu didn’t know that Vilanova discovered the disease in an accident in November of the second half of this year and underwent resection surgery. He recovered well and took over as the head coach of Barcelona in the second year, but the disease relapsed only half a year later. One month of chemotherapy.

In 2013, Vilanova resigned early and died in the hospital the following year.

Guardiola once mentioned in his autobiography that Vilanova's illness was an important reason why he chose to leave Barcelona, ​​and it was also the reason why he did not take over the sincere Chelsea after he left.

Sun Wu pursed his lips and thought in his heart, no matter what, he would always advance the treatment, and he would always hope to be greater than in his previous life...

He turned around and collected the materials on the table to go to find Lannik. There was another tactical discussion meeting tonight, but at this moment, the phone rang again.

"Gerald, I see."

"Well, when will the operation be performed? Well, I'll fly over the morning after tomorrow and go to the hospital together."

"Old Ferdy? No problem, of course I'm counted! Didn't you say I'm 'half a quarry boy'?"

The old Ferti was the gatekeeper of the La Masia youth training camp. From the establishment of the La Masia football school with only one artificial turf in 1979, to the establishment of the La Masia youth training camp under the leadership of Cruyff 10 years later, and then Harvey , Iniesta, Puyol, Messi, Pique promoted to the first team, he always stood there.

When Sun Wu was doing recovery training in La Masia, he often troubled the old Ferdy. The relationship between the two was very good. Before Sun Wu went to Wolfsburg, he went to say hello, and the old Ferdy laughed. It is said that he is learning from Pique...

This time Pique summoned players from La Masia to donate to him, and Sun Wu naturally would not refuse, even if he had never really entered La Masia.

Taking a deep breath, he went to wash his face, and then Sun Wu went out with the materials... Life will continue, and football will continue. Compared with other people, Sun Wu, who has a previous life, is much more resistant to stress.

……

"The latest news is that Gareth Bale, who was injured in training a few days ago, has recovered and will definitely start."

Hearing bad news just after entering the door, Sun Wu Bianping sat down, "Actually, I don't like this Welshman very much. He relies too much on speed. Sooner or later he will end up with Ronaldo!"

"But it is undeniable that his speed will be a big problem." Slomka handed over a bottle of mineral water, "The combination ability of his ball is very ordinary, and he can only use the speed of the ball to get rid of the opponent."

The current Gareth Bale has not been transformed into an all-around monster... In fact, on this road, he cannot be compared with Messi and Ronaldo.

"What about other aspects?"

"It's roughly the same as we imagined. Crouch should be the starting center forward, and Sandro should play the defensive midfielder." Rolf hesitated for a while and said, "I'm still worried that his height will cause trouble. After all, Tottenham The two wingers have advantages, and a simple cross might be able to create a threat, Milito and Jones are too tall to be at a disadvantage..."

Sun Wu didn't say anything, but turned to look at Lannick, who had been silent all this time.

"The tactical deployment remains unchanged." Lannick shook his head, "Best, I'll give you half an hour."

Sun Wu nodded, then turned to Rolf and said, "Redknapp actually doesn't like this tall guy. Crouch's scoring ability is very poor. He has only scored 3 goals this season so far. His figure , Weight also determines that he cannot become a tactical support point."

"The biggest role of his appearance in the center position is to pull the defense line, attract the attention of the opponent's defender, and create space for Van der Vaart and Modric in the back row."

"Jones and Milito's height is indeed a disadvantage, but their speed and mobility can make up for this weakness..."

"If Tottenham play simple crosses, the second point is the key."

"If Tottenham still stick to this season's tactics, Modric's position change is the key point, so it is Jones instead of Matip and Hitzlsperger who start the midfielder. The American has a poor sense of position, but he can follow up. In midfield for Croatia."

Sun Wu talked eloquently and then turned to look at Lannick.

"Crouch's mobility is not strong. If he passes the high ball, Manu's attack can ensure the safety of the goal." Lannick agrees with Sun Wu's point of view, "The key is the second point, van der Vaart, Modric and the two. A winger..."

"To be honest, I don't think Tottenham can't score..." Sun Wu shrugged.

"So, this game is about attacking and scoring goals!"
