Since learning that Wan Sheng came to Madrid and coached Atletico Madrid, Pepe's heart has become very contradictory.
If he can choose, he will definitely play for Wansheng, but he is a member of Real Madrid. In Real Madrid for two years, he played well and is the absolute main force of the team, with the support of many fans.
Many stars will be very kind to the famous team and the famous teacher, but it is difficult for them to play for the team all the time, and it is more difficult for them to play under the same head coach.
In European football, it is normal for Pepe to leave Manchester City and go to Real Madrid.
He is not a traitor.
Even so, Pepe still hopes to come to Wansheng's team, because he has great trust in Wansheng, and the team in Wansheng is like home, not Real Madrid-it is a giant, but he works The place.
After three years at Manchester City, Pepe also has deep feelings for Morris, Ozil and other teammates, and for two years in Real Madrid, he did not even make a close friend.
This is the difference.
However, Pepe knew that he could not directly leave Real Madrid and follow his mentor to turn into a rival enemy Atletico Madrid. He is no longer the unknown player.
Pepe is already a star, a big star, the main center defender of Century Real Madrid.
Pepe and Real Madrid signed a four-year contract, and now only two and a half years have passed. He must fulfill the contract or leave through a formal transfer.
This winter is totally impossible.
Even if Atletico Madrid are willing to pay him a large amount of liquidated damages, he will not be able to leave in winter, which will become a stain on his life, so he wants to leave, at least until the summer transfer.
This is where Pepe feels contradictory.
In addition, Pepe is not sure whether Atletico Madrid needs himself. Even if he was Manchester City's main central defender, he is now Real Madrid's main central defender ... so what? Maybe others are unclear, but he knows that there is never a shortage of outstanding players under Wansheng, and he is just one of them.
So when he learned that Wansheng had invited him to spend Christmas together, Pepe was very happy and he told his wife Isabel.
"Are you going to the Atletico's Christmas dinner?" Isabel was quite surprised.
"Of course, what's wrong?"
"But you are a Real Madrid player now, Kopler." Isabel said with some concern. "I know you have been hoping to return to the winning team, but you are now a Real Madrid player, you should not do this, those media do not Will let you go. "
"Don't let it go?" Pepe said indifferently. "I don't care what they say. The boss once said that as long as there is victory, it doesn't matter. For me, it doesn't matter if you do well."
"Then you are considering leaving Real Madrid? Atletico Madrid?"
"It's impossible now, at least until summer."
"You are crazy!" Isabel said. "You are now in Real Madrid. You are a real giant. You get a higher salary. You can get honor in this team."
"No!" Pepe interrupted Isabel and said affirmatively, "The boss coach is Atletico Madrid. Do you understand? As long as the boss is in Spain, I believe that the league champion, or other champions, will belong to the boss, and Real Madrid? What can Mourinho's team get? "
"Are you sure?"
"Convinced." Pepe said, "Look at Manchester City, how many championships did the boss get when he coached. At that time, Manchester City could not be compared with Atletico Madrid now, and Manchester City did it. The same is true of Spain now. It will be successful in Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid? When the boss comes, they will have no hope. "
Pepe convinced Isabel, so the two came to the Christmas dinner together. Even when a media reporter photographed them walking into the door of Wansheng, they did not hide it.
Wan Sheng was very happy to see Pepe.
This is just a Christmas dinner, but it still makes sense. Pepe ’s arrival shows that he has not forgotten himself, and what Wansheng said in the media is true-he really hopes to get Pepe.
World football's powerful central defender is not easy to find, Pepe is one of the best, not to mention, he was once his own player, so Wan Sheng very much hopes to get Pepe.
Wan Sheng also knows that the transfer in winter is impossible, but next summer the team needs to add a back line. Pepe is the best choice. Pepe's appearance is equivalent to finalizing a summer signing. It is still very happy.
From a personal perspective, the relationship between Wansheng and Pepe is also good.
The two are also teachers and friends.
The former Manchester City players and coaches are now in Madrid. They played for two rival teams and were able to sit together and spend Christmas together. Wan Sheng was very happy while changing the time.
Everyone toasted together and laughter continued all night.
The following week, the entire Madrid was immersed in the atmosphere of Christmas, and various celebration parties were inoculated.
Although it is holiday time, Wan Sheng, a famous European football coach, still has a very busy life. He is going to attend one party after another, and is also invited to attend an award ceremony. The club organized a charitable donation event.
At the end of December, Wan Sheng went to the reception organized by the Spanish Football Association.
It is a tradition for the Spanish Football Association to organize a reception. Every winter break, when the Spanish leagues are suspended, the Spanish Football Association will find a day to organize the La Liga and West B team coaches, and invite some famous football clubs to meet at the reception. , Talk about topics such as the development of Spanish football, the future of football, youth football training and other topics.
Wan Sheng was not the first to attend such a reception, and he had participated more than once in England.
This is a platform for football related people to communicate.
The reception was held in Madrid, and Wan Sheng didn't need to prepare anything. When the time came, he appeared with Anita at the venue.
In addition to various coaches and famous places, there are some reporters who come to interview, but according to some default rules, the venue is not allowed to take pictures. That is to say, the media reporters can only report on what happened here. There will be no photos, so something always happens at the reception. For example, Guardiola, who was coach of Barcelona last year, fought against Pellegrini, who was then coach of Real Madrid, but only laughed in the media. That's it.
"The topic discussed today is the cultivation of Spanish youth football ..."
The Spanish Football Association President Vera came to the stage and talked about it, which is basically some official words, "... football development must pay attention to the cultivation of youth football, but how to cultivate youth football has not been finalized yet. Free South Americans are rigorous. The Germans, the old-fashioned English people, each country and region have different ways of cultivating youth football, but no matter which way, they can create some very good players ... "
After talking about the big pass, Vera raised his glass, "... let's toast this year's Spanish football!"
After that, everyone discussed with each other.
Most of the people who came to the reception were the head coaches of various teams. Non-head coaches are also some famous football players, such as former Real Madrid star Yero, and Barcelona ’s godfather Cruyff, but the various "factions" are still distinct. Barcelona coach Guardiola is surrounded by many people, he is a representative of the Spanish coach.
Wan Sheng stood with Mourinho.
The two are rivals. The real rivals are the opponents in England. Now they come to Madrid. Both teams are rivals. But on this occasion, the two are on the same camp, because they are not native Spanish coaches.
In the Spanish league, local coaches account for a very large proportion. For example, this season's La Liga, 15 of the 20 teams are headed by Spanish, and the Spanish are also very exclusive. Perhaps this is understandable. People naturally stand together, so on this occasion, coaches in other regions can only stand together.
Both Wan Sheng and Mourinho were cold-faced and did n’t even have a look at each other, but Anita soon chatted with Mourinho ’s wife Matilde Faria, between the women There are always many common topics.
Both Wan Sheng and Mourinho held their glasses and drank alone. The awkward atmosphere continued for a while, or Wan Sheng said first, "José, can I call you that? Have you considered letting Ronaldo leave?" That's not a good guy. "
Mourinho almost spewed out his drink. He turned his head annoyed and asked, "Will you sell Ozil to Real Madrid?"
"of course not."
"So Ronaldo is destined to be my player."
"Mr. Florentino certainly doesn't think so. I heard that your coaching position at Real Madrid is not stable. If you leave Madrid one day, I will definitely send my blessings."
"Don't be complacent, the league is still long!"
Wan Sheng smiled slightly, "Yeah, but I can't wait until I wait."
Mourinho was very annoyed. He found that standing with this Chinese was really not a good choice. He turned to glance at his wife and found that his wife was talking with Anita happily. And to Wan Shengdao, "I firmly believe that I can succeed in Madrid."
"I also firmly believe that in England, I won, and it is the same in Madrid."
Mourinho gritted his teeth.
At this time, Barcelona coach Guardiola took the podium and made a speech about Barcelona's youth training, "... we are more willing to let young players develop freely, instead of using tactics to kill them. creativity……"
"... Messi succeeded in the Barcelona youth camp. He is one of the best players in the world football. When he first played in the first team, his movements were always wrong, but after a short time Time, he has grown up ... "
Guardiola's view is still very representative. Some people who hold extreme views even think that the professional league should also give players more freedom so that they can play better.
Guardiola also talked about some aspects, emphasizing the relationship between tactics and player play in professional leagues, and his basic argument is that Barcelona ’s current style of play is basically to allow players freedom within an inherent tactical framework. Cooperate and play.
Wan Sheng and Mourinho shook their heads straight.
The tactical concepts of the two are different from Guardiola, and there are many places that are not used. Mourinho emphasizes defense, or that he advocates victory.
Wan Sheng emphasizes rigor. He puts tactical details into the movement of players in each position. In Wan Sheng ’s view, it does not make much sense to let players play freely. You ca n’t always rely on the stars to play to win, so based on the ability of players In order to build a tactical system sufficient for them to play, so that each player becomes a part of the tactical system, when the entire system is running, the team can perform best.
So when Wan Sheng came to power, he directly refuted Guardiola's remarks and said, "I think Spanish football, freedom is enough, and more rigorous is needed."
"The Germans are very rigorous, so their football has been improving, and the cultivation of youth football must also be instilled with tactical ideas, otherwise most of them can only be jugglers of street football ~ www.novelhall.com ~ professional football The tactics need to be more rigorous, and the details must go to each run to make the whole team run at a high speed ... "
Wan Sheng's statement caused a huge discussion.
Most people are dismissive of this, the reason they can come up with is very simple-Barcelona is the six-time champion, is the best team in European football today, it can even be said that there is no one, and the Spanish team This year's World Cup champion.
Both Barcelona and Spain uphold Guardiola's tactical philosophy, and they both won the championship.
As for rigor?
German football has never been a champion.
Faced with many doubts, Wan Sheng said only, "I will use the glory of Atletico Madrid to prove what I said!"
When Wan Sheng stepped down, almost everyone looked at him. Cruyff and Vera looked at each other silently, sighing, "This is really a young man with character!" (To be continued.)
