I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 203 This Champions League final is really damn sweet!How about living the whole life?

After the match against Arsenal, on May 15th, Manchester City challenged Swansea away. Guardiola once again resorted to a big rotation move and played with a full bench.

In the 203rd minute of the first half, Zhao Jinge scored a goal for Manchester City. It was an assist from Gundogan after going forward. The cooperation between the two has become more and more tacit. is good news.

But before the end of the first half, Otamendi, who replaced Kompany, made a mistake and was seized by Swansea. Midfielder Bilozon shot from a long distance and broke Manchester City's goal. The score was equalized.

In the following game, Manchester City started to chase after Swansea, who had successfully fought back. They scored 31 shots and [-] shots were on target.
But he just failed to score again. Unfortunately, he drew with Swansea [-]-[-] in the away game and ended all the Premier League games this season with a draw.

However, this draw will not affect the overall trend of Manchester City. The championship trophy is in hand, and a draw will be a draw.

After the final games of the five major leagues have ended one after another, the eyes of all fans around the world are focused on the upcoming UEFA Champions League.

Milan, a city with a great football history, complements the annual grand festival of the UEFA Champions League final. The atmosphere of football has become the main theme of this ancient city.

As the match day approaches, the atmosphere of the Champions League final is becoming more and more enthusiastic.

Especially after Manchester City and Real Madrid arrived one after another, fans from all over the world also flocked here.

In the streets and alleys of Milan, fans of the two teams can be seen everywhere.

According to UEFA statistics, this UEFA Champions League final will attract a total of 12 fans to Milan. Both teams have nearly [-] fans each. There is a lively atmosphere everywhere.

In the eyes of the fans of the two teams, this is a final, but when it is enlarged to the whole of Italy, the whole of European football, and even the whole world, it is a show, an annual event.

Mansour's chartered flight arrived at Milan's international airport the day before the final.

That afternoon, the boss of Manchester City led a group of guests into the manor hotel where Manchester City was staying.

All Manchester City players still remember the meeting that Mansour met with them after the Champions League group draw, and that extremely generous reward has become a reality in their efforts.

Zhao Jinge calculated in his spare time that if Manchester City can win the final victory as they wish, then all the players in the team will be given the Champions League bonus.

For a core player like Zhao Jinge, the various bonuses for winning the Champions League as a core player in the contract plus the various basic rewards for the team after reaching the final all the way, the scattered sum is close to 200 million euros. The share of the championship bonus has not yet been added.

Even if it is the Wannian substitute in the team, all kinds of rewards add up, and there is a guarantee of 70 euros even if the championship bonus is not included.

With all kinds of dizzying bonus amounts, Zhao Jinge, who was no longer short of money, had to lament Mansour's wealth.

You are indeed the oil guy in the Middle East!Spending money to make money is faster than he can drink water!

You must know that this is only the prize money for the Champions League!If you count the two domestic champions, oh, those teammates with lower incomes may get half or even two-thirds of their salary this year in bonuses alone.

It's no wonder that recently, my teammates have all looked valiant and high-spirited, vowing to win the championship.

Mansour's money has been paid in place, of course these players have to work hard!
Such a good boss who is not short of money and is willing to spend money is hard to find now even with a lantern.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinge is also a little thankful that he agreed to De Bruyne's invitation last year and made a choice that now seems extremely correct.

Guardiola has always felt recently that his luck has been really good during his years as a football coach.

When I first debuted, I met the best Barcelona and Messi. In the two years I went to Bayern, although I was bullied by Zhao Jinge and De Bruyne in the second year, I will make up for it this year. Yet?
Wolfsburg twins?hehe!
It's my Pep Guardiola shape now!

And I can also blatantly tell everyone that De Bruyne and Zhao Jinge are no longer the youthful appearance they were back then. There is only one word for this feeling of using a mature full-level number, cool!

Who knows?family!Do you know the helplessness of opening the player list and being able to shoot close to two top lineups? !
Lonely as snow!Those who play fifa16 may not be able to assemble this top-level plastic surgery in their hands!

Of course, not everyone can drive an aircraft carrier. Let alone Benitez, who just started this season, overturned Real Madrid's Galaxy Phase II?

Those who ridicule me every day that Guardiola will drive an aircraft carrier don't even think about it. Does an ordinary person cooperate with an aircraft carrier?
The commander of an aircraft carrier is not a country's one-in-a-million elite. I, Pep Guardiola, can drive an aircraft carrier because of my own ability!
In the words of Zhao Jinge: "Pep is one of the best head coaches in the world in my mind. I was lucky to meet him! In Manchester City, we are a big family that achieves each other."

Look, how good at talking, this kid's mouth is so sweet!
Hard-working on the court, and able to talk and behave on weekdays, which head coach doesn't like such a player?
All the people who followed Mansour to watch the UEFA Champions League final were celebrities from the United Arab Emirates, including government officials, business leaders, and even some powerful figures in the emirate. It is unusual. It is said that even the Italian government and the European Union were alarmed. up.

All of these are serious gold masters!

They are all the kind of local tyrants who really have oil wells at home. When the Italian economy is in a downturn, if you can build a good relationship with these people and attract a wave of investment, you will not be making money all the time!

People can buy Premier League clubs, so my Serie A clubs can also be negotiated!

There are two hundred-year-old giants in the city of Milan!It would definitely be the luck of the two giants if they could be spotted by these oil guys.

(Inter Milan is okay, Milan was a bit miserable by that surnamed Li)
However, what makes many Italian politicians feel sorry is that this time Mansur and his group are really just here to watch the football. If they want to raise some investment or sell the club, it seems that it will not work.

Although these Italian politicians did not get any extra benefits, the Manchester City players got another promise from their big boss.

In the case that the team has already won the Premier League and the League Cup double crown, if the team can win the Champions League again, he will provide everyone in the first team with a commercial endorsement from the UAE in addition to the contract.

According to Mansur's disclosure, even players who don't have many chances to play in the first team can get at least a three-year small endorsement!

For the players of Manchester City, this is simply a pie that fell from the sky. Not every player is like Ronaldo and Messi who make money from commercial endorsements and make money.

Many wealthy football players until the end of their careers, their combined income from commercial activities may not be as high as their wages for playing football for two or three years at their peak.

Now I have an opportunity to be an endorsement for the oil guys, and working for these very rich guys, even if it is a small endorsement, I am afraid it will not be a problem to earn 200 million in three years!

Even Zhao Jinge was a little moved when he heard it. He currently only has a large endorsement contract from Volkswagen.

Although many brands have wanted to discuss cooperation with them this season, there are very few opportunities for truly top-level cooperation, and occasionally one or two prices are not high.

Out of the protection of Zhao Jinge's commercial value, Mendez rejected all those miscellaneous small brands or contracts that were not sincere enough.

Everything will wait until all the games of this season are finished. He is betting that Zhao Jinge can become a blockbuster in a short period of time, become a real superstar, and become the next peerless double-arrogance figure.

Obviously, Mendes has achieved great success in dealing with Zhao Jinge's commercial contracts.
After breaking multiple records in a row and achieving a two-way breakthrough in the domestic championship and the Champions League,

The value of Zhao Jinge's spokesperson has skyrocketed, even a blind person can see the commercial value of Zhao Jinge's current body.

As long as Manchester City can realize Milan's dream this year and the German national team has a brilliant result in the European Cup, Zhao Jinge, who is the absolute core player, will become the next recognized king of European football.

At that time, his commercial value will be a sky-high price for all brands!
Now, Mansur's mention of commercial endorsement is a rare piece of good news for Zhao Jinge.

As far as Zhao Jinge's current performance is concerned, Mansour will not treat his most important baby badly, just like Paris Saint-Germain will kneel and lick our director madly in the future,
Now Mansur can't wait to directly offer the world's first annual salary, and tie Zhao Jinge, who has already reached the top, to the battleship of Manchester City. Live signs stay!

As the saying goes, under the reward, there must be a brave man.

When Mansour made the announcement, everyone in Manchester City cheered.

Isn't it just for money to work hard to play football?

Winning the Champions League will not only add honor, but also get a large bonus and commercial endorsements. What could be better than this?

Guardiola also communicated with Mansour in private for a while. Among them, Mansour implicitly mentioned that the team's capital operation is no longer a problem. Basically, he asked Guardiola whether he needs him to continue to invest. A wave of reinforcement.

In Mansour's plan, football has never been just a business card, but a business. Don't be afraid to spend money when you start a business, especially when you are close to the top.

For a football team, if you invest two to three billion euros, in the current year, I am afraid that even a team in the Champions League will not be able to pull it together.

For the current Manchester City, if they want to improve the team's strength, or maintain the current strength for a long time, it will definitely cost a lot of money every year.
Even if you simply keep the original team, after winning the Triple Crown, you must at least have real money and a wave of salary to keep these accomplished players. Isn't the next pursuit just to make money?
After all, being a football player is just a profession, and as a job, you must make more money!

He revealed to Guardiola that he wants to acquire more clubs around the world and build it into the most powerful football empire in world football, allowing these teams to operate under one group.

And Manchester City is the brightest pearl in this football empire. In order for this pearl to continue to shine, Mansour can give Guardiola enough power and funds to choose the players he wants.

To sum it up in one sentence, as long as there is a champion, the problem of money is not a problem!
Middle Eastern oil guy, spending money is so capricious!
The night was as deep as water.

The whole of Milan began to fall asleep.

Everyone is looking forward to the upcoming Champions League final.

Only in the wealthy area of ​​Milan, in the suite of the hotel where Manchester City stayed, Guardiola was still sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He specially pulled a sofa chair for himself, and sat like this, basking in the moonlight, staring at the night view of Milan outside the window in a daze.

He just had a meeting with the coaching staff to discuss tomorrow's tactics, but there are many things that have not been resolved.

For example, where should Zhao Jinge be placed?
Left?Or in the middle?
winger?Or center?
Manchester City's lineup is very strong, but Guardiola is also constantly adjusting various tactics so that he will not be contained by other opponents, so he has studied many different tactics.

For example, Zhao Jinge can play on the left, Aguero in the middle, and Mahrez on the right. This is a very conventional four-three-three.

Another way of playing is that Zhao Jinge plays in the middle, Aguero plays on the left, and Mahrez plays on the right. This is another four-three-three.

It is also possible to let David Silva play in the middle, but retreat to the tenth position, Zhao Jinge and Aguero form a double forward, which is a bit like four three one two.

Various styles of play, players are active in different positions, perform different functions and responsibilities, and deal with different opponents.

It can be said that in the past season, Guardiola has played this trick very well, with a good enough player and a good enough coach.

Therefore, this season, Manchester City was able to win the double crown, and the goal was to win the triple crown.

Now, facing the challenge of the Champions League final again, how will the game be played?
Guardiola was actually very tangled in his heart.

He thought about playing with the conventional four-three-three, but he always felt that Zidane would restrain him.

In fact, he doesn't know much about Zidane's tactics. Zidane has just coached, but it has only been half a season. If someone can now fully understand his tactical characteristics and understand every detail, it must be impossible, because time It's too short.

Don't look at Manchester City is known for its pass control and smooth offense, but in front of Real Madrid, once Manchester City's offense and defense switch, or if there is a problem in defense, Manchester City will definitely not be able to please with the three midfielders plus the firepower of the BBC. .

He knew that Real Madrid's opening should be more stable, but then they will gradually win the ball over, and then they will have to bear the pressure brought by Real Madrid's offensive line.

The well-regulated four-three-three has the advantages of being well-regulated, and changing formations also has the advantage of changing formations.

Guardiola is having a headache right now.

On the one hand, he knows that Zidane will definitely try to suppress Manchester City's midfielder. After all, no matter how confident Real Madrid is, it is impossible to allow Manchester City's midfielder to continue to control the ball.

And to tell the truth, the Real Madrid team in front of them is really no worse than the current Manchester City in terms of pass control ability.

For the sake of stability, it is better for Manchester City to deploy four midfielders, so as to better link up the midfield, but in this case, they have to change their formation.

Guardiola was actually not satisfied with the [-] who had kicked a few times before.
This is more of a helpless choice to push Zhao Jinge to the center position.

But on the other hand, the risk of changing formation is also great, especially the [-] formation, which he has hardly used this season. Should he take the initiative to try it in the Champions League final?
This kind of tactic that I have almost never used, the other side must have never thought of it!
Who would have thought how he would live in the Champions League final training lineup?

How about that? !

Suddenly, Guardiola woke up, what am I doing?What am I thinking?Live in the Champions League final?

You are floating!Guardiola!Have you not learned the bloody lesson of Bayern Munich? !
If the whole job fails, it will destroy the whole team's hard work for the whole season!

Do you want to change formation?Whether to follow the tactics that have already been prepared, Guardiola, facing the big test, began to fall into the chaos of his thoughts!
And this is the pressure that Real Madrid and Zidane have brought to him.

At this time, Guardiola, who was anxious, still didn't know what kind of brilliant achievements the man with the same thinning hair on the opposite side and the group of players under him would achieve later.

But out of the prudence of a top coach, he was keenly aware that the rookie coach opposite was very unusual.

Many people commented that he is taking advantage of Mourinho, Ancelotti, and even a little bit of Benitez, but how can a top midfielder at the quasi-ball king level be a man who can only pick up the teeth? guy?

As a former top midfielder, Guardiola asked himself that his player era was far from Zidane's height, which is probably the gap between Aguero, Zhao Jinge or Messi!

I can rely on the accumulation of my player era and the teachings of my mentor Cruyff to achieve my current achievements. Facing Zidane, who was more glorious than myself in that football era,
Coupled with the lineup and tactical background left by Mourinho and Ancelotti, the two top coaches,

Today's Real Madrid, at least on the tactical level, will definitely not have an essential gap compared with Manchester City, which has its own, and the two should be equal.

And Zidane has always been a terrifying guy who is somewhat unpredictable and stable.

If Zidane really wants to overhaul Real Madrid's overall structure within half a season, then Guardiola will be more confident.

On the contrary, the overall personnel structure of this team has not changed much. It has re-established the absolute core position of Ronaldo and reconstructed Real Madrid's midfield trio, showing an unusual style.

For Manchester City, such an opponent means an uphill battle. The Champions League final has never been easy!

what can we do about it?Guardiola fell into deep thought again.
