"Tomorrow morning, let's talk."
In the presidential stand in Barcelona, Russell received a vibration from his mobile phone and took it out. It was a concise but profound message from Guardiola.
His hand shook clearly, and then he walked back gently, "Where?"
"My home." Guardiola quickly replied.
Russell knows Guardiola, this is an extremely insecure person, so he likes to make some major decisions in his home, which will make him feel more at ease.
"Okay." Russell returned.
For a long time, there was no more movement on the phone.
After Russell extinguished the phone screen, he made a long sigh.
The sigh was full of sighs, but at the same time it seemed to have a little bit of ease.
It is because Rossel knows that the page that belongs to Guardiola in the history of Barcelona has been turned over. The next Barcelona will usher in an uncertain challenge. No one knows what Barcelona will become in the future.
Relaxation is because he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Guardiola will resign, he will bear the humiliating record of losing to Real Madrid 0-8, and then Russell will support Guardiola's assistant coach Vilanova to become the head coach of Barcelona.
He talked to Vilanova in October last year. This is a very thoughtful and ambitious person. He is not willing to always serve Guardiola as an assistant. He has wanted to be alone for a long time. Palm Barcelona is undoubtedly his one step into the sky, more importantly, he is very familiar with everything about Barcelona.
This matter has always been hidden from Guardiola, because at the time things were unclear, Guardiola was just unwilling to renew the contract, and did not clearly express his intention to leave the team, so Russell and Vilanova have been secretly contact .
Now, the biggest obstacle is gone.
Even, after Russell put down the phone, he heard the boos in the Camp Nou stadium. He no longer had the fear and panic he had just because he knew that as long as Guardiola was out of class, everything would be overthrown again. .
Professional football games have always been played like this!
...
"Whose news?" Bartomeu, the first vice-chairman, had been sitting beside Russell and asked with concern.
Russell replied slightly: "Guardiola."
"He?" Bartomeu was surprised, texting at this time?
It was also at this moment that Bartomeu suddenly discovered that Guardiola was no longer in front of the Camp Nou coach.
What did it mean to send a text message at this time?
Bartomeu is also an extremely intelligent person, especially when he thinks about the changes in Russell's look before and after, he suddenly realized that "has he already made a decision?"
"He asked me to meet at his house tomorrow morning, I guess so." Russell whispered.
This matter also needs to be kept secret for the time being, because there will be a Kings Cup final next.
In any case, if you can get a King's Cup, it is barely a shame, Barcelona's record this season is not too embarrassing.
Bartomeu is not surprised, because Guardiola is indeed such a person.
It may be unfair to him to do so, but Barcelona at this moment really needs him to do so.
"We have to stabilize the situation as soon as possible." Russell frowned and said in a deep voice.
"what do you mean……"
"To speed up the operation of recruitment, Guardiola's class should be announced after the final of the King's Cup. At that time, no matter what the outcome, we must have some results to appease the fans."
The best way to make fans forget the pain of the past season is this summer's heavy recruitment, especially the huge star recruitment. This is the most able way to reinvigorate the fan's vision, but also to stabilize Rose The key to Seoul ’s ruling foundation.
"We have to come up with a reorganization plan as soon as possible. You discuss it with Vilanova and formulate a team reorganization plan as soon as possible." Russell explained the task, and then thought of something, and reminded in a low voice: "Pay attention, Don't get media attention. "
"Okay, I will be careful." Bartomeu promised.
"The Valencia side should be able to break through quickly, starting with Alba." Russell said.
Bartomeu thought for a while and nodded: "The talk is almost the same. Alba also wants to return to Barcelona. If we increase our efforts as soon as possible, it should be announced after the final of the King's Cup."
"And Neymar, I heard that Real Madrid chased him very fiercely recently, even Valdano seems to be interested in going to Brazil after the season to negotiate with Neymar's family?"
"It's true that it's spreading outside, Real Madrid is doing its best."
After hearing this, Russell sneered, "then they will be late, Neymar already belongs to us Barcelona."
"Yeah, we missed Di Stefano at the time, which led to the latter's glorious record in Real Madrid, and missed Yang Yang three years ago, making him proud of Real Madrid in the past three years. Now, we have not missed Neymar . "Bartomeu is still full of confidence in this transfer.
Because, in private, Barcelona has reached an agreement with the Neymar family.
"You find an opportunity to tell Neymar's father that the plan has changed and the transfer must be made in advance. We hope that Neymar will be introduced this summer and let him arrange for transfer fees and commissions to be compromised." Russell said decisively.
Bartomeu pondered, "But our current transfer budget is only 50 million euros, I am afraid ..."
"I will contact the bank to get more loans. In addition to Neymar and Alba, we also need to introduce at least one central defender. Puyol is already old and must be strengthened in this position. The hole in Manchester City Pani, Mathieu of Valencia and Thiago Silva of a Milan are all candidates and can be considered. "
Bartomeu was a little speechless and frowned: "I heard that Paris Saint-Germain also wants to get Thiago Silva, will it ..."
"Try to work as much as possible," Russell said.
Bartomeuden understood it when he was there.
is not that right?
Barcelona try to operate as much as possible, but it does not mean that it will succeed.
Defensive weakness is a long-standing problem in Barcelona, especially the central defender. After Puyol grew old, he has always been unable to find a suitable candidate, including Zigrinski, which Guardiola once optimistic about.
Now, Barcelona must strengthen the back line to stabilize the fans.

So Torres disclosed in the article that Vilanova secretly reached a consensus with the management as early as October last year, and in January this year, he was conspiring to replace Guardiola. Only Guardiola was caught in the whole thing. In the drum.
Barcelona is obviously very nervous about this. It protested against Le Monde in the first time, and said that it would take Sotores to court. At the same time, he announced that Sotores ’report did not conform to the facts.
But soon, media such as the Aspen and Marca, which are close to Real Madrid, followed up and said that they did hear similar rumors. The authenticity is very high, which undoubtedly caused chaos inside Barcelona.
