Chapter 568
Chapter 568
Spain, Barcelona, La Masia Youth Training Camp.
After watching the match between Manchester City and Watford, Guardiola packed up the materials on the table and prepared to return to the dormitory to rest.
The phone rang.
Guardiola was a little surprised because the caller was his brother Pere Guardiola.
"Josep! Your chance has come! Insider information, Manchester City is quietly recruiting a temporary head coach to replace their original head coach Stewart. Lead the team to the FA Cup and Champions League finals!"
Pere's series of words came down.
Guardiola was a little dizzy.
But he quickly woke up and figured out Pere's intention. Was this to let him communicate with Manchester City and compete for the opportunity to coach Manchester City temporarily?
"Pere, you're crazy. You want me to run for the head coach position of Manchester City, which just won two consecutive championships, as the interim head coach of Barcelona B?"
"Try it. I've sent your resume. Haha, maybe Manchester City will be interested in you?"
"Unless their management is old and confused. I believe my resume will be ignored. Forget about it, Pere."
Although Josep and Pere are brothers, their personalities are very different.
Pere is imaginative, while Josep is more pragmatic.
Both of them were professional football players.
But Pere, who retired early, chose to become a football agent, and currently has several players in the Spanish Third Division under his command.
After Guardiola became the interim head coach of Barcelona B, he also served as the agent of his younger brother.
"That's Manchester City, Josep. My dear brother, I know your talent, and I always believe that you can become one of the greatest head coaches. Your undefeated record in the Spanish Third Division since you took over Barcelona B this year is the best proof!"
"Yes, I led Barcelona B to 17 consecutive wins in the Spanish second-tier league. Then Manchester City will believe that I can lead them to win the Champions League, right? This is ridiculous."
"Haha, isn't it possible? As far as I know, you have been watching the games of major leagues for research in the past two seasons, and have been preparing to become a coach after retirement. I believe you have also studied Manchester City, right?"
Guardiola was silent, not because he was trapped in fantasy, but because he was speechless.
His brother, sometimes his ideas and behavior style are still too unreliable, since he was a child.
If studying Manchester City can take on the important task of Manchester City's interim head coach, then those fans who like to post analysis on football forums can also take on the responsibilities of the head coach of the four major leagues.
"Okay, okay. I'm just telling you about this. Opportunities are created by people. I'm also creating opportunities for you by sending your resume to Manchester City, right?"
"I know, my dear brother. But there's no need to mention this again. It's unrealistic and meaningless."
"Got it, Chief Josep!"
Guardiola hung up the phone with a smile on his face. He didn't expect to have such a big fun before getting off work.
On the way back to the dormitory.
Guardiola forgot about this matter.
...........................................................
On the other side, at Old Trafford, the post-match press conference was in progress.
Ferguson learned about Manchester City's 2:1 victory over Watford and the league championship as soon as his own game ended.
So.
Even if Ferguson wanted to pretend to be free and easy in front of the media, it would be difficult to do so.
"Congratulations to Manchester City for their remarkable achievement, winning two consecutive titles."
"It's a pity that we have let down all the fans who support Manchester United this season. We have performed well in the league, but we still haven't won the Barclays Cup."
"But there is still a more important Champions League final between us and Manchester City."
Facing questions from the media, Ferguson cleverly led the topic to the Champions League.
Although they finished second in the league this season.
But if they can beat Manchester City and win the more valuable Champions League title, everything else is not worth mentioning.
The reporters saw Ferguson's thoughts, found an angle, and then asked a difficult question.
"So Mr. Ferguson, do you think Manchester United can win the Champions League when they have not won against Manchester City in the past four encounters?"
"Of course."
Ferguson answered without hesitation, with ambition in his eyes.
The reporter immediately asked.
"What is the source of your confidence?"
"From the experience of Manchester CityI have led Manchester United to two consecutive league victories before. 1992-1994, 1995-1997. You have guessed what I am going to say next, 1998-2001, we won three consecutive championships! "
Talking about the honors he had led Manchester United to in the past.
Ferguson straightened his back and smiled unconsciously, listing them all.
"Remember the 1998-99 season? The Champions League trophy was also ours. I didn't want to mention these, but the fact is that if you want to talk about the past, no Premier League club can compare with us. "
When Ferguson said this, the reporters who asked the question fell silent.
Old rogue.
A real old rogue.
You told him about the past four encounters between Manchester United and Manchester City.
As a result, the red-nosed old man directly brought out all the brilliant achievements that Manchester United had made in the past.
You know very well.
He is indeed confusing the concepts.
But what he said is also true, and it is an achievement that you cannot refute.
If you ask now.
Who is the most successful club in the Premier League.
The answer.
It will still be Manchester United.
..........................................................
"Premier League Express! Manchester City beat Watford 2:1 and locked in two consecutive championships in advance!"
"The Blue Moon Dynasty is rising, Manchester City has won two consecutive championships!"
"Explore the background of Manchester City's two consecutive championships, from The relegation team has become a top powerhouse! 》
《FA Cup final against Watford again? Manchester City is expected to achieve two consecutive double crowns! 》
《Manchester City is the most successful club in the Premier League in the past two seasons! 》
The 37th round of the Premier League came to an end, and news about Manchester City was flying everywhere.
Two consecutive championships!!
Manchester City has achieved a result that other Premier League teams envy.
Various media and commentators have publicly expressed their congratulations to Manchester City.
In addition.
There are several Premier League clubs that have also generously expressed their congratulations to Manchester City for winning the league championship again.
Among them are Sheffield United, Charlton, West Ham United, Fulham and other mid- and lower-level teams.
The most surprising thing for Manchester City people.
is the congratulations from Arsenal.
Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger said in a post-match interview after the 1:1 draw with Chelsea in the 37th round.
"Apart from Arsenal. Manchester City is definitely my favorite team in the entire league. Their head coach Stuart is my good friend, and Su is my favorite player, no doubt about it. "
"Yes, you heard it right, including my own players. They all know it."
"There is no doubt that I will support Manchester City in the Champions League final. I really hope that they can win the championship trophy as a new team in the Champions League and create another remarkable achievement."
Wenger's exaggerated flattery and such a clear position.
The reporters who were interviewing on the scene were all confused.
When did Wenger become good friends with Stuart? In the past two seasons, Arsenal has been bullied by Manchester City a lot...
As for the reason for supporting Manchester City in the Champions League final.
The reporters can understand it.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Wenger must be the man in the world who least wants the red-nosed old man to reach the top of the Champions League again before he reaches the top.
