LRAB Chapter 565
Chapter 565
Manchester Macho Bar.
The Manchester City diehards, led by Old Tom, will never be absent on every Manchester City match day.
On the TV, Su Fei scored a goal.
A passionate cheer immediately rang out in the bar.
Old Tom cleared his throat.
He raised the beer in his hand and shouted questions, while the others answered loudly.
"What is the best team in the world?!"
"M.C.!!"
"What is the best player in the world?!"
"S-U!!"
This is the unique celebration ceremony of this Manchester City diehard group this season.
Bang!
Old Tom finished the beer in one gulp, and still not satisfied, he slapped the cup on the bar.
"Billy, fill it up!"
"Huh?"
"What are you doing?"
The bar owner, Billy, was taking down a poster of the moment of the goal behind the bar counter. Above the poster, there were four Arabic numerals, 9320.
Billy took down the poster and carefully wiped the dust and wine stains on the poster with a towel.
"This is our first championship, and we will soon win the second championship... I am making room for the upcoming new poster in advance."
"Haha, yes. But you can put up both, one on the left and one on the right, just enough to put down."
"Actually, what I am worried about now is that if we win the championship next season, there will be no room for the third poster here."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Old Tom even bent over with laughter, looking at the ceiling of the bar, and fell into a beautiful fantasy.
"Three consecutive championships... I dare not think about it, I really dare not think about it. But as long as Su is here, why not?"

Spain, Madrid, Valdebebas Sports City.
This is the training base of La Liga giants Real Madrid, where daily training of the first team and all levels of echelons is carried out.
On the road.
An old man with a golden Mediterranean hairstyle is talking on the phone with someone unknown.
"I'm not satisfied with Fabio's philosophy of building the team, you know that."
"We need a new head coach next season... I know the season is not over yet, but he has failed in the Champions League, right? What the team lacks now is not the league championship at all."
"Ronaldo, Beckham... these old-time stars can't bring new hope to Real Madrid. We need to buy those future stars with real potential in the summer."
"Kaka, Robben, Fabregas... before I was elected, these people were my goals, but now, you know who I want the most."
"Can't do it? Don't tell me you can't do it. Why can't you try? We are the greatest club on the planet, and this is our biggest attraction."
The old man talked nonstop, walking casually along the road, and met a man wearing black glasses at the corner.
The man didn't notice that the old man was on the phone.
Greeted the old man enthusiastically.
"Mr. Calderon, nice to meet you! The weather is nice today."
Real Madrid President Ramon Calderon put down his phone and stuffed it into his pocket with a natural expression, and hugged the man with open arms.
"Fabio, good afternoon. Yesterday's game against Sevilla was really good. We gave up two goals and chased three goals. It was a beautiful reversal!"
"Mr. Calderon, thank you for your affirmation."
"It's not easy to catch up with Barcelona with the team's current lineup. Keep up this momentum. It's time to punch those Catalan bastards!"
"Haha, Mr. Calderon, you are still so humorous."
The two had a good chat.
If someone happened to hear Ramon Calderon's phone call and was here.
They would definitely recognize that the man wearing black square-framed glasses was Fabio Capello, the current head coach of Real Madrid.
That's the guy on the phone.
The guy who was yelled by Calderon to be replaced next season.
......................................................
Spain, Barcelona, La Masia Youth Training Camp.
All teams except the first team of Barcelona are training and preparing for the game here.
At the training ground of Barcelona B team.
A training match is in progress.
Josep Guardiola, 36, in a suit.
He keeps shouting instructions to the players on the field., clapping his hands at the same time.
"Pull to the side!!"
"Clap!"
"Pass, cross!"
"Clap!"
"Defend, defend!"
"Clap!"
This is the experience he summed up two days ago.
Such behavior can make players pay more attention to the content of their shouting and feel the passion.
After a while, the training match was over.
Guardiola called the players of Barcelona B team to him and began to help both sides analyze the problems of offense and defense bit by bit.
The players listened very seriously.
The interim head coach of Barcelona B team is not small. He played for Barcelona for 11 seasons as a player. He was the main force of Barcelona in the 1990s and a famous player of Barcelona.
In this B team, more than half of the players grew up watching Guardiola's games when they were young.
In addition.
Guardiola's tactical analysis after each training match is very detailed and specific, which makes the players gain a lot.
Sometimes it even goes to the specifics of a striker's shooting posture in a certain round of the game.
Should you use your left foot or right foot, the arch of your foot or the inside of your foot, push or volley, near corner or far corner.
For this group of young people in Barcelona's youth training.
After coming to Barcelona.
After experiencing so many head coaches at all levels.
No head coach has ever been able to do everything like Guardiola, teaching everything in detail.
Smart people know what a rare learning opportunity this is.
"Okay, today's training is over."
"As usual, tomorrow morning I need each of you to submit a report on today's training match, no less than 500 words."
"Then... have a good rest. I still say that if a professional player can't fall asleep before 11 o'clock in the evening, then his work and rest schedule is not enough to support him to continue his professional football career in the long run."
Guardiola waved goodbye to the players and didn't forget to nag a few more words.
Then he left the stadium and returned to his office.
Although the players were off work,
But Guardiola is not off work yet.
He started to sort out the pile of documents on his desk, made himself a cup of coffee, and turned on the TV in front of him.
If you only do one thing at a time.
In Guardiola's philosophy, it is a waste of time.
So Guardiola likes to watch some video or live broadcast of the game while sorting out the documents.
"The 37th round of the Premier League? Manchester City... Watford... 1:1... 30 minutes left... Interesting, let's watch it today."
Although he is in La Liga, Guardiola is very familiar with Manchester City.
Just because in the past two seasons.
Manchester City is too dazzling.
It's hard not to pay attention.
Guardiola has watched all of Manchester City's Champions League games this year.
There is no one else in the office.
But Guardiola has the habit of talking to himself.
"Who will win? Need I ask? Of course it will be Manchester City."
"Because that No. 9 will definitely stand out."
"Tsk tsk, this No. 9 is even younger than several players in Team B, but he is not at the same level at all. If this is a player under my command..."
