I Want to Be the King of Football

At the end of December, the Bundesliga is the happiest of the four major European leagues.

Because they have a very long winter break.

Due to the Club World Cup, Bayern's winter break was more than a week later than other teams. After the team played the Club World Cup from Japan, returned to Munich, and had a celebration banquet, they officially began to leave.

And other Bundesliga teams start from the seventeenth round of the Bundesliga, with a winter break of more than 40 days.

Although it was less than a week, Bayern was happy enough, especially after winning the Club World Cup, the club gave each player a generous bonus, allowing them to start their vacation beautifully.

As in previous years, Su Dong also distributed a big red envelope to each of his personal trainers.

The help of Nuno Cruz and others to Su Dong is obvious to all. Although they are not familiar to fans, they are well-known in the industry. For example, Robben has rarely been injured this season, compared with last season. As a result, the attendance rate has improved a lot, and in addition to Bayern's genius doctor Wolfart, Su Dong's personal physiotherapist Grant Downing also contributed greatly.

In addition to giving them a generous annual salary, Su Dong will also give out a big red envelope during the festivals. If there is a major happy event such as winning the championship, Su Dong has never been stingy, which also makes them give up on Su Dong.

This is also the way Su Dong has always acted.

No matter how good personal relationships are, it’s another matter. When talking about work, don’t talk about relationships. After all, people rely on work to make a living and support their families, so they must be given enough money and sincerity. They should be given appropriate vacations to accompany them more Accompany the family.

This makes the relationship between Su Dong and Nuno Cruz and others become stronger and stronger for many years.

After sending off the personal trainer group, Su Dong also took Wang Chuqing to the Aegean Sea in Greece for a vacation.

After the two arrived in Greece, they rented a luxury yacht to go out to sea and enjoyed a leisurely vacation with a wide sea and sky.

Don't look at the two of them are serious in front of outsiders, but when they are in the world, it is called a entanglement, especially when they reach the beautiful Aegean Sea, the yacht floats aimlessly on the sea, and the two are both physically and mentally. After being completely relaxed, I lived a little more shameless life.

After floating in the Aegean Sea for a full week, 2008 and 2009 were passed, and the two talents from Su and Dong came ashore, but they did not set off to return to Germany, but continued eastward to Dubai.

Su Dong and Wang Chuqing spent two days in Dubai,

It was taken to Abu Dhabi by sponsors.

This time, the sponsor of Sudong is the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Promotion Agency, referred to as Abu Dhabi TCA. The sponsorship fee is very high, 10 million euros per year, and Sudong is the global ambassador for Abu Dhabi tourism and culture promotion. All you need to do is shoot a travel advertisement for them and participate in two or three events.

It can be said that this money is really very, very profitable.

In the words of Mendes and Ma Dawei, the local tyrants in the Middle East are simply here to send money.

Take the money, it is natural to do things.

After Su Dong arrived in Abu Dhabi, he immediately entered the advertising shooting, and also took a lot of publicity photos, and participated in an event with the Tourism and Culture Promotion Bureau. Many media reporters from all over the world came to the scene to witness together. signed by both parties.

What really caught the attention of Su Dong was not the event itself, because the event was nothing special, just to promote some tourism projects in Abu Dhabi, but to be honest, the tourism industry in Abu Dhabi has just started not long ago, compared to the Dubai next door. That said, it's a lot worse, but the prospects are still very gratifying.

After all, Abu Dhabi is rich.

Su Dong met two old acquaintances at the event, one was Batistuta, the god of war.

He played football in the Middle East before and was very famous, so he was often invited to participate in some events in the Middle East.

The other is Guardiola, who has also played in the Middle East and is now the head coach of Barcelona's second team, but he did not expect that he was also invited to participate in this event.

For Batistuta, Su Dong has long lost the admiration he had in the past. He still respects Batistuta, but he will no longer have the same kind of admiration. Even his nickname of Little God of War has been It has not been mentioned in many years, and even if there is, it will not add a small letter in front of it, but call him God of War.

Batty has a lot of acquaintances in the Middle East. After chatting with Su Dong for a while, he went to find friends.

Guardiola was alone.

Su Dong has always been curious about the legendary leader of Barcelona.

Guardiola's coaching of the Barcelona second team was facilitated by Begiristan, but now Begiristan has gone to Manchester City.

According to information obtained by Sudong, Guardiola is likely to succeed Mark Hughes at the end of the season at Manchester City.

Su Dong has also heard about Guardiola's reform in the Barcelona second team.

This is a bit like Cruyff's reform of Barcelona. Guardiola's reform has been quite effective, but it is unrealistic to say how amazing it is. After all, youth training is about long-term investment.

Su Dong has always wanted to have a good chat with Guardiola and hear some of his thoughts.

Because he was curious, why did Guardiola convince Soriano and Begiristan that he would become a famous coach?

You know, Manchester City will invest a lot of money to build a top team, and Guardiola must be valued, he must have his own specialties, but a person who has never coached independently in the first team, has What's great about it?

What Su Dong didn't expect was that Guardiola's jaw dropped as soon as he shot.

...

You mean, you want to transplant Barcelona's passing and control system to the Premier League? Su Dong was very surprised.

But Guardiola nodded very firmly, I think it is very feasible.

But the Premier League is really fast, even if it's possession like Arsenal's, it's actually very fast-paced.

The reason why Arsenal often collapses in the second half is because of the players' physical problems, and why does the players' physical problems have problems? It is because of their fast rhythm and the need to control the ball, the players run a lot and consume a lot. The first half of the game is full of energy and the results are good.

It's definitely something that needs to be adjusted, but I don't think there's any need to change the fundamentals. The pass-and-control system can survive in any league and in any environment. Guardiola was confident.

Later, he took the initiative to mention to Su Dong the peak of the dream second team during Rijkaard's period, that is, the team's tactics when Su Dong played for Barcelona.

Guardiola highlighted the 5-0 victory over Real Madrid by Barcelona, ​​which was the starting point of the second dream team, which left a deep impression on Guardiola, especially Barcelona's pressing and pressing at the time.

Cruyff said that as long as you keep the ball in your hands as much as possible, it will be difficult for the opponent to score.

And to achieve as much ball control as possible, you need to do two things well. When you have the ball, you need to pass and cut in an organized and purposeful manner to ensure the stability of your passing and control. Get the ball back as fast as you can.

Guardiola mentioned the madman Bielsa. He said that he specially went to South America to learn lessons and had a long exchange with Bielsa. He was very impressed with Bielsa coaching the team, training players and daily management. Admiration, think Bielsa is one of the best managers in the world.

Another is Ferguson.

Belsa has a six-second theory, that is, after his own team loses the ball, everyone must put in the counter-attack and pressure as soon as possible, and try to regain the ball within six seconds, then it will be difficult for the opponent to create a good match. Threatening attack.

Guardiola also analyzed the case of the second dream team and believed that Rijkaard's team did not do a good job in recovering the ball, which led to Barcelona's unstable performance at that time, especially in the first season, It's almost like riding a roller coaster.

Su Dong has a personal experience that no one else has. He really thinks that what Guardiola said makes sense.

At least it can be considered from another angle to analyze Barcelona's dream second team, and it is a three-pointer.

In addition to defense, Guardiola believes that on the offensive end, the Dream 2 team is not doing a good job. Sometimes they control the ball for the sake of possession, without a clear purpose.

Or should I say, Rijkaard never wanted to understand, in the end what to control the ball.

It's actually very simple. What I want is not actually to pass and control the ball. Both control and passing are just tools and means for me to achieve my tactical goals. What I really want is to mobilize the opponent through passing and control of the ball. players, to force, lure or mislead them out of their positions, thereby disrupting the opponent’s formation and creating the most favorable situation for our offense.”

Guardiola combined some real-life cases to introduce his ideas to Su Dong in simple terms.

Su Dong was a little stunned.

It's not that he didn't understand, but that he heard it so clearly that he was a little confused.

After Guardiola said so many things that he seemed to understand before, he suddenly became enlightened and understood.

He can really feel now why Soriano and Begiristan think Guardiola is very good.

Su Dong also felt that he was either a theoretician, a master of cheating, or a top-level coach, and he was a top-level coach with his own set of mature technical and tactical concepts.

Many of his thoughts and ideas were unheard of by Su Dong before.

This guy is a genius!

The genius of coaching!

After some conversation, Su Dong admired Guardiola.

But Su Dong didn't know. After the two exchanged, Guardiola's impression of him was further improved, especially when he saw Su Dong's understanding of football and his perception of his technical and tactical concepts, Guardiola felt very much appreciated.

There are not many people who can accept and understand his philosophy in such a short period of time these days, especially a superstar like Su Dong who is naturally the core of the frontcourt offense.

When he played in the Middle East that year, Guardiola had already decided in his heart that Su Dong was the ideal center forward in his mind.

Not only him, over the years, Benitez, Mourinho, Rijkaard, Heynckes and others, which one is not using Su Dong as a perfect center?

But Guardiola is confident that he can make Su Dong transform and sublime again.
