Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 173

Bolton came up to play Sunderland at this juncture, and his luck was really back.

Because of the arrival of some first-team members of the Barcelona Club, Sunderland's players are all full of energy.Especially Messi - usually he is always a little laid back on the field, but today he is very active, running with all his strength on the field, and the ball is like glue, always sticking to his feet.

The other Sunderland players obviously also got the news that the "friendly team" came to observe and guide, and they all wanted to perform well in front of Messi's club teammates: they, too, can be Messi's qualified teammates, and can play well. Nice football.

So all kinds of beautiful coordination came out one after another.This game is not Messi's one-man show, he has the strong support of the whole team.

Bolton players are very depressed: Why do you do this to us?

Anton was standing on the sidelines. While gesturing to the inside of the court, he shouted at Captain Garner, telling the players not to get too excited, try to be calm, and focus on tactics and coordination.Because Guardiola is also at the scene today, Anton is in the same mood as the players, and hopes that Sunderland can play well.

——Don't just focus on bullying your opponents, you have to play beautiful tactics.

He occasionally thinks about it: I don't know what Guardiola will say about Sunderland's tactics and his use of Messi.

Under the auspices of Anton, the scene on the court gradually became one-sided:

The home team controlled [-]% to [-]% of the ball and organized frontcourt attacks again and again. They were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, it was like a tactical drill, trying various offensive methods, shooting from various angles and positions.

The opponent has nothing to do, and the action is too big to cause a foul, so good, let's start to practice the set ball.

Although this kind of one-sided scene once made the game a little monotonous, the fans watching the game from the sidelines were all happy-who is not happy that their team has the upper hand?

Whether it is the elderly fans on the sidelines or the group of sick children wearing Santa hats in the VIP stands, there are smiles on their faces.

The football-loving people of Sunderland should be able to have a merry Christmas.

At the end of the game, Sunderland easily won the game with a score of 3-0.

In fact, in this game, in addition to contributing two goals, Messi also had five, six, seven or eight shots, but he may not have been in such an excited state for a long time. Messi contributed two center posts and three lintels. In addition, two feet rubbed against the lintel and kicked up to the stands.

The fans joked: This is the goal of the Stadium of Light and I don't want Messi to leave.

The audience gave applause to both players.Although Bolton's players lost the ball, but think about it, it was lost in the hands of Messi, and after the opponent scored the third goal, they stopped and did not kill.The result of this game is also acceptable.

In addition, at this time, the caddies at Sunderland's home court ran up one after another, and presented Christmas hats to the Bolton players, and the atmosphere in the stadium was harmonious for a while.Bolton players also temporarily put the defeat behind them and joined the crowd celebrating Christmas.

An announcement was broadcast in the Stadium of Light, asking fans to leave the stadium in an orderly manner.

But the sick child in the box did not leave immediately.Because too many children expressed their wishes and wanted to meet their favorite players.Therefore, the relevant staff and volunteers stayed in the box and did not leave immediately.

The Barcelona players in the stands were also preparing to leave.

Pique was in a hurry, he had been blowing the cold wind here for a long time, and Shakira didn't even notice that he was the No. [-] person in the stands.

Is there any way to make a little noise in the stands? — No problem, he was already prepared.

So Pique opened a sports bag that he carried with him and shouted loudly to the fans who were leaving the field: "Barcelona jerseys, genuine Barcelona jerseys are sold cheap! 20 pounds, 20 pounds a piece... big sale before Christmas, fans friends Don't miss it, what better Christmas gift than this?"

His teammates next to Pique pulled up the zippers of their down jackets and put on their hats—a bit embarrassing!

But Chairman Pi is absolutely business-minded: 20 pounds, this price is less than half of the regular price.Suddenly, many fans stopped in their tracks.

Pique once played for Manchester United, and he speaks authentic and fluent English, and his slight Manchester accent does not affect the communication between everyone: "Look, this is Pique's jersey, this is Iniesta's, Villa's... Want Messi's? Messi's is also available, but the size is not complete..."

It works really well! ——A large circle of fans immediately surrounded Pique.

This is when a fan came over and yelled: "20 fat guys, Messi's jersey must not be genuine, everyone don't be fooled!"

Others thought the same thing, 20 pounds, this price is only half of the regular price in souvenir shops, and you can only buy second-hand, or even third-hand and fourth-hand online.

Pique's smile immediately froze on his face: "Dude, I'm already making a loss..."

He was indeed doing it for the sake of making money. The other stands were empty, but a large group of people gathered here.There are already many children in the box looking out, asking the adults around them what fun things there are.

"20 pounds, I'm going all out, absolutely genuine jersey, plus the player's own autograph, how about it?"

Genuine jersey, plus autograph, only 20 pounds, this temptation is too great.Suddenly someone wanted to try it out and said, "Here's a 'Xiaobai' one, medium size."

Peake dug out one from his bag, even took out another signature pen, and stuffed it behind his back.Iniesta whispered something behind Pique, but still couldn't help it, so he could only spread the jersey on Pique's back, and then stretched out his hand to sign.

Pique handed the fan the jersey he had just signed.

The fan was so excited that he thought to himself: Is there such a thing as a fool?

Unexpectedly, Pique had sharp eyes and quick hands, pulled Iniesta out from behind, and said loudly: "Can I give you another hug, would you like it?"

Iniesta: ...

All the fans who hadn't left in the stands were stunned, and those who were not stunned squeezed towards Pique's side - one by one, this one seemed to be Xiaobai himself, and that one looked like Xiaobai himself. It's Harvey, that one looks like Butzquez, and teacher Puyol is also here... This is, the whole Barcelona team is really here?

Immediately after, someone asked: "Another Messi's jersey, I want to sign it, can I?"

Pique gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

He took out his mobile phone, dialed it, spoke a series of Spanish, and put down the phone: "Messi will come to sign for you right now! Come, your jersey, this is a signature pen, come, come, get the jersey and put it on Waiting in line for autographs..."

In the VIP box of the Stadium of Light, Shakira and Chloe gathered together at the edge of the stands, curiously watching what happened in the stands——

After she understood, Chloe narrowly pushed Shakira's shoulder to let her see more clearly.

Shakira watched for a long time before realizing what happened, but she was pleasantly surprised.It was purely on a whim, and she heard Chloe talk about going to England for Christmas, and mentioned that she would watch a game there, and by the way, she would be a volunteer or something.Shakira wanted to go to a place where there were fewer people who knew her to relax, so they followed her together.

She likes children very much, and gets along very happily with these sick children.

He never expected that such a "tail" would follow him on this whim trip, and not only a "tail", this guy brought all his good teammates.

"Just wait! The hospital may receive the 'charity' from Barcelona in a while, but please come forward to represent the hospital and accept it?" Chloe teased her friend.

Shakira imagined Pique's character out of thin air, absolutely he should be able to do such a thing.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Messi to appear in the stands and "assist" his teammates. The jersey prepared by Pique was sold out in just ten minutes.Then this guy picked up his sports bag and ran to the box at the Stadium of Light, where he said he would donate some money to the children's department of the public hospital, hoping that the children who were still hospitalized at Christmas could get some toys and gifts .

The person in charge of the hospital looked at Pick and asked, "How much do you want to donate?"

Pique replied honestly: "I don't know, but it's all in this bag. I... I can count."

As soon as he opened the bag, he saw a large handful of scattered 10 and 20 notes inside.

Shakira, who was huddling behind the head of the hospital to watch the excitement, couldn't help laughing.

Peak immediately forgot to count the money.

The jerseys were being sold lively in the stands, and this scene also fell into Anton's eyes.

At the moment he is standing beside Guardiola.Guardiola saw his players messing around, and touched his bare forehead in embarrassment: "They are like this...you shouldn't mind it!"

Of course Anton doesn't mind: "If your club is interested, we can open a 'Barcelona area' in the souvenir shop at the Stadium of Light." Anyway, there is a Messi area now, just a little change.

"I don't know much about these things." Guardiola said honestly, "I don't know anything about the management of the club. I only know how to lead the team."

Guashuai's habit is to focus.

"I like the way your team played today." Guardiola suddenly said.

Anton: Guashuai... Does this mean that he thinks his team's tactics are used well?

Who knows that Guardiola opened up the chatter box, the famous coach gushed: "My mentor Bielsa once said, 'If the players are not human, I will never lose.' But we will lose because Our players are human—”

It really is Bielsa!

The meaning of Bielsa's words is easy to understand: no matter how perfect the tactics are, they will be limited by the players' bodies and skills. This is a hurdle that coaches cannot overcome when pursuing the ultimate pressure on the field.

"But today I saw the game you commanded, and I think, you may have never struggled with the question of whether your players are human or not."

Guardiola said this very seriously, but it sounded extraordinarily weird.

Anton couldn't help sticking out his tongue secretly: He really didn't struggle with it, his players—all are human, 100% are human!

The author has something to say: Anton: ...Suddenly remembered something, the operation of "Reverse Guardiola" seems to be impossible to hide.
