"Hey, here you are."
Heard the knock, saw the box door was pulled from the outside, cold figure, Guardiola immediately stood up with joy.
"Of course, it's rare for you to invite me to dinner. Why don't you come?" Gao Han came in with a smile.
"But are you too shabby? Invite me to dinner at my restaurant? "
Guardiola was a little stunned. Then he suddenly thought of this problem. It seems that it's really not suitable.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice. I just think the taste of your restaurant is good and you like it, so I came here." Guardiola was afraid of the misunderstanding of the cold, so he quickly explained.
Gao Han walked over with a smile and hugged Guardiola. They sat opposite each other tacitly.
"How are you doing?" Gao Han poured himself a cup of hot tea, "there are many rumors about you outside."
He still remembers that after Barcelona lost to Real Madrid, Guardiola called him and told him about his decision to leave Barcelona. At that time, Gao Han gave his support after hearing his idea, because judging from the situation at that time, Guardiola would not be able to stay in Barcelona for a long time.
The gap between him and the management is getting bigger and bigger, and the difference is becoming more and more obvious, which is reflected not only in the transfer operation, but also in the daily management of the club. The players are often very sensitive, and they will soon catch such a signal, which will shake the authority of the head coach in the dressing room.
This has been clearly reflected in Barcelona's internal problems over the past season.
In this case, instead of staying in Barcelona and suffering and being fired by the management in the future, it is better to take the initiative to retire now.
In recent years, Guardiola can be said to be the most popular top coach in the European football world except for the cold. His departure from Barcelona has created a sensation in the whole European football world. I don't know how many rich teams covet him, and all kinds of rumors are endless.
"Most of those rumors are false." Guardiola replied faintly.
"AC Milan?" Gao Han asked with a smile.
Guardiola shook his head. "I just went to Pescara's friend's house for two days. As a result, the Italian media produced such a piece of news, don't you think?"
Gao Han laughs, "is it true or not that the FA has invited you to coach England?"
When it comes to this, Guardiola is even more depressed and helpless.
"I can only say it's half true."
"What do you say?" Gao Han asked with interest.
"There was a middleman I didn't know at all. He didn't know how to get in touch with my brother. He said that he wanted me to coach in England. Then he went to the FA and told them that I wanted to coach in England. He could make it happen, but from the beginning to the end, we never met with the FA, I haven't even seen the middleman. What's the matter
This time, I burst into laughter.
This kind of thing is very common in European football, because there are many middlemen of this kind running and making profits.
Of course, if the two sides really intend to, once he promoted it, the middleman would be worth a hundred times and become famous at one stroke.
However, we all know how unreliable this kind of rumor is. Even if Guardiola really wants to coach England, it can't be revealed by a completely unknown little man. It's obvious that the middleman didn't lead the way. As a result, he sold the news to the media, which led to a round of speculation.
If you really want to coach, at least it should be his brother Paley's contact with the FA. That's a little interesting.
"Well, should it be true about Chelsea?" After laughing, Gao Han asked.
This time Guardiola nodded seriously. "It's true that Abramovich asked me to meet him in London on his yacht, but I refused."
"Why?" Gao Han asked curiously.
With Guardiola's current position and his annual salary, there are not many teams that can move him in European football. Chelsea should be regarded as the most active giants.
"I don't like this team." Guardiola said frankly, "at that time, I witnessed how you left Chelsea. Later, it was not very pleasant for Jose to leave. Then it was Rijkaard and boas last season. I think that Chelsea is not professional at all and the management has a lot of problems."
"Not long ago, I just met begiristan. In the past two years, he has met with Abramovich at least three times. Chelsea invited him to be the technical director to help improve the management structure of the club. But in fact, from the beginning to the end, Abramovich gave him a perfunctory feeling rather than trust."
"He said that Abramovich promised him a high salary, but did not give him the real power he should have, which made him completely unable to understand how he wanted to improve the management structure of Chelsea. What role can a technical director without any real power play?"
Gao Han knows what Guardiola means and has heard about begiristan.
The former Barcelona sports director is still very optimistic in the European football world. He was warmly invited to take up the post by Chelsea, but in the end, he died in vain. Now listen to Guardiola's report, Abramovich's problem is still so serious.
To put it bluntly, he does not allow anyone to weaken his influence on Chelsea.
Or it should be said that he only wants to do one thing all the time to make everyone mention of Chelsea and think of him the first time.
Under this premise, he will want to let Chelsea achieve results on the football field.
Everyone has a different definition of success.
Maybe that's the success Abramovich defined for Chelsea.
Guardiola's rejection of Chelsea is undoubtedly a wise choice.
"What are your plans now?" Gao Han asked.
Guardiola smile, "no plan, so many years no rest, now want to have a good rest, maybe wait until the rest is enough, met the right team, I came out again."
"What are the specific requirements?"
"With a perfect management structure, I can operate in an orderly way in accordance with the law of football development. It makes me feel warm, respectful and loyal. It makes me feel comfortable and down-to-earth. You know, I attach great importance to these."
To put it bluntly, Guardiola is a very emotional person at heart.
But it's hard to find such a team.
"Maybe you should really think about our Chinatown." After hearing this, Gao Han made a serious proposal.
"Chinatown?" Guardiola was taken aback.
"Yes." Gao Han's sincere face, "the boss is me, general manager Amando Marcos, you are also familiar with, you know how others are, not to mention the technical director, Carlos and you are old friends for many years, and the coaches of the team you are very familiar with, our management structure is also very formal and professional, so, I think, we simply match your requirements perfectly."
At this point, the cold front of a change, "to tell you the truth, you do not want to take the initiative to come to our Chinatown, so it is specifically out of such conditions, right?"
When Guardiola heard the last, he burst out laughing.
He had forgotten how long he had not laughed as much as he did now.
After laughing, Guardiola looked at Gao Han with a smile, "Dear Mr. Gao Han, my teacher, my best friend, you finally understand my mind, then can we start talking about salary now?"
Now the shriveled ones are replaced by the cold ones.
Looking at the depressed expression of the cold, Guardiola burst out laughing again.
In fact, in front of outsiders, Guardiola has always been a taciturn person, but if you really understand him, it is not difficult to find that in fact, he is a very talkative and humorous person.
With Guardiola's current annual salary, Chinatown can't invite him at all. Even if he cuts his annual salary in half out of consideration of friendship, Chinatown can't afford it.
Gao Han angrily took a sip of tea and muttered, "you didn't mention your salary just now."
"But I didn't say no salary." Guardiola countered.
Alpine completely speechless, "that is not to talk about it?"
"When everything in Chinatown is stable, there is still a chance." Guardiola laughs.
Gao Han laughs, "then I am recording. This is the evidence in the future."
Where would Guardiola believe that.
In fact, if Chinatown really needs a head coach, Gao is more suitable than Guardiola.
What's more, bochettino is doing so well now, there is no reason for China city to change the coach.
Guardiola knows alpine cold very well and knows that he is joking from beginning to end. He just wants to make him laugh and relax. He doesn't care about the rest.
As for the future, who knows?
"By the way, we'll talk about coaching Chinatown later, but there's one thing we can talk about." Gao Han said on a whim.
"What's the matter?"
"You see, you need to rest now, but you can't be too lazy, can you?"
Guardiola looked at the sinister look in the eyes of the cold, ha ha asked with a smile: "say the point directly."
"In my opinion, you should continue to think about and summarize your own coaching experience and ideas in theory. You also know that there is a coach training class in Chinatown. You are usually idle. It's better to come here and teach those students." Gao Han suggested with a smile.
The coach training courses in Chinatown are also well-known in the industry, and the number of places in each period is very popular. In addition to the students from Europe, there are also fixed senior coaches from China. After the training, many of them will stay in Europe, either practice in Chinatown or be recommended to other elite teams to accumulate experience.
Guardiola is a well-known wise man in the field of professional coach. How can Alpine miss such an opportunity?
But where can the former Barcelona coach not see the cold mind?
"Do you know? I just called Sir Alex the other day. Guess what he said about you? "
"What do you say?"
"He said that if he retires, he must break up with you."
"Why?"
"The reason is very simple. He said that he would try every means to dig him up to teach in Chinatown, just like you dig Lippi, Aragones and others." After that, Guardiola couldn't help laughing.
"Did he really say that?" Alpine this can be depressed, "I really like that kind of person?"
Guardiola looked at him with both eyes, smiling and silent, as if to say that you are not like him.
"Make bad friends by mistake!" Gao Han shook his head and moaned.
