"Hey, you're here. ”

Hearing a knock on the door and seeing the box door being pulled open from the outside, a cold figure appeared, Guardiola immediately stood up with joy.

"Of course, it's rare for you to invite me to dinner, how can you not come?" Gao Han walked in with a grin.

"But aren't you too shabby, invite me to dinner at my restaurant?"

Guardiola was slightly stunned, and then suddenly remembered this question, which seemed to be a bit inappropriate.

"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention, I just thought your restaurant tasted good, and you liked it too, so I came. Guardiola was afraid that Gao Han would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.

Gao Han walked over with a smile and hugged Guardiola, and the two sat opposite each other tacitly.

"How's it going?" Gao Han poured himself a cup of hot tea, "There are a lot of rumors about you outside. ”

He still remembers that after Barcelona lost to Real Madrid in the league, Guardiola called him and told him about his decision to leave Barcelona.

The gap between him and the management is widening and the disagreements are becoming more and more apparent, both in the transfer operation and in the day-to-day management of the club, and players are often very sensitive and they will quickly pick up on such signals, which can shake the authority of the manager in the dressing room.

This has been evident in Barcelona's internal problems over the past season.

In this case, instead of continuing to stay in Barcelona and being fired by the management in the future, it is better to take the initiative to retire now.

In recent years, Pep Guardiola can be described as the hottest top coach in European football in addition to the high cold, his departure from Barcelona has created a sensation in the entire European football world, I don't know how many giant teams covet him, and all kinds of rumors are endless.

"Most of those rumors are false rumors. Guardiola replied lightly.

"AC Milan?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Guardiola shook his head, "I just went to a friend's house in Pescara for two days, and the Italian media made such a news, what do you say?"

Gao Han laughed, "Then the FA invited you to coach England, is it true or not?"

At the mention of this, Guardiola became even more depressed and helpless.

"All I can say is that it's a half-truth. ”

"What do you say?" asked Gao Han gossip with interest.

"There was an intermediary I didn't know at all, and I don't know how to get in touch with my brother, saying that he wanted to run me to England to coach, and then he went to the FA and told him that I was interested in coaching England, and he was able to facilitate this, but from the beginning to the end, we never met the FA at all, I didn't even see what the middleman looked like, you say, what's going on?"

Gao Han laughed out loud at this time.

This kind of thing is very common in European football, because there are a lot of middlemen of this type who are running around and making profits.

Of course, if the two parties really have intentions, once he facilitates it, then this middleman will be worth a hundred times and become famous in one fell swoop.

But think about it, you know how unreliable this rumor is, even if Guardiola really wants to coach England, it can't be through the revelation of a completely unknown little person, it is obvious that this middleman did not make the needle, and as a result, the news was sold to the media, which led to a round of hype.

If he really wants to coach, at least his brother Pere should be in contact with the FA, which is a bit interesting.

"Then Chelsea should be reliable, right?" asked Gao Han with concern after laughing.

This time Guardiola nodded solemnly, "Indeed, Abramovich asked me to meet in London, on his yacht, but I refused." ”

"Why?" asked Gao Han curiously.

With Pep Guardiola's current status and his annual salary, there are really not many teams in European football that can hire him, and Chelsea should be regarded as the most proactive giants in this group.

"I don't like this team. Guardiola replied frankly, "Back then, I saw firsthand how you left Chelsea, and then Mourinho's departure was not going well, and then Rijkaard, last season's Villas-Boas, I don't think Chelsea are professional at all and the management is very problematic. ”

'I just met Begiristain and he has met Abramovich at least three times in the last two years, and Chelsea have asked him to be the technical director to help improve the club's management structure, but in reality, from the beginning to the end, Abramovich gave him the impression of not trust, but perfunctory. ”

'He said that Roman Abramovich had promised him a high salary but had not given him the real power he deserved, which made him completely unable to understand how he could improve Chelsea's management structure, and how useful a technical director without any real power could be?

Gao Han understood what Guardiola meant, and he had also heard about Begiristan.

The former Barcelona sporting director is still very optimistic in European football, and Chelsea also invited him to take up the post, but in the end it also ended in nothing, and now listening to Guardiola's relay, Abramovich's problems are still so serious.

To put it bluntly, he won't allow anyone to diminish his influence on Chelsea.

Or rather, he only thinks about one thing at all times, so that everyone mentions Chelsea and thinks of him as soon as they think of him.

It is on this premise that he wants Chelsea to achieve results on the football pitch.

Success is defined differently by everyone.

Perhaps, this is what Abramovich defines as success for Chelsea.

Pep Guardiola's rejection of Chelsea was undoubtedly a wise choice.

"So what are your plans now?" asked Gao Han with concern.

Pep Guardiola smiled slightly, "I don't have any plans, I haven't rested for so many years, I want to rest now, maybe when I have enough rest, I will come out again." ”

"What are the specific requirements?"

"Having a well-developed management structure and being able to operate in an orderly manner following the laws of football development makes me feel warm, respectful and loyal, and makes me feel comfortable and grounded, you know, these are things that I value very much. ”

To put it bluntly, Guardiola is a very emotional person at heart.

But it's hard to find such a team.

"Maybe you should seriously consider our Chinatown. Gao Han proposed very seriously after hearing this.

"Chinatown?" Guardiola was taken aback.

"That's right. Gao Han looked sincere, "The boss is me, the general manager Armando Marcos, you are also familiar with it, you also know how others are, not to mention the technical director, Carlos and you are also old friends for many years, and you are also familiar with the coaches of the team, and our management structure is also very formal and professional, so I think we are a perfect match for your requirements." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Han's words changed, "To be honest, you wouldn't want to take the initiative to invite Ying to our China Town, so you specially offered such conditions, right?"

When Guardiola heard the end, he snorted and laughed.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he had laughed as he had now.

After laughing, Guardiola looked at Gao Han with a smile, "Dear Mr. Gao Han, my teacher, my best friend, you finally understand my mind, so can we start talking about salary now?"

This time the deflated ones have been replaced by high cold.

Looking at Gao Han's depressed expression, Guardiola laughed out loud again.

In fact, in front of outsiders, Guardiola has always been a taciturn person, but if you really know him, it is not difficult to find that he is actually a very talkative and humorous person in private.

With Guardiola's current annual salary, Chinatown can't move him at all, even if he cuts his annual salary in half out of friendship, it is not something that Chinatown can afford.

Gao Han took a sip of tea indignantly, and muttered, "You didn't mention your salary just now." ”

"But I didn't say I didn't want a salary. Pep Guardiola countered.

Gao Han was completely speechless, "Then there is no need to talk about it?"

"When everything is stable in Chinatown, there will still be a chance. Pep Guardiola laughed.

Gao Han laughed at this time, "Then I'm recording, and this will be evidence in the future." ”

Where would Guardiola believe Gao Han's words.

In fact, if Chinatown really needs a manager, Gao Han himself is more suitable than Pep Guardiola.

What's more, now that Pochettino is doing so well, there is no reason for Chinatown to change the coach at all.

Guardiola knows Gao Han very well and knows that he is joking from beginning to end, purely hoping to dismiss him, make him smile and relax, and don't pay attention to the rest at all.

As for the future, who knows?

"By the way, we'll talk about coaching our Chinatown later, but there's one thing we can talk about. Gao Han said on a whim.

"What's the matter?"

"Look, you're going to have to rest now, but you can't be too slack, right?"

Guardiola looked at Gao Han's suspicious eyes, and asked with a smile: "Let's talk about the point directly." ”

"I think you should continue to think and summarize your coaching experience and ideas in theory, you also know that we have a coach training class in Chinatown, you are usually idle, it is better to come here to hold a class and teach those students. Gao Han proposed with a grin.

In addition to the students from Europe, there are also regular senior coach class students from China, and after the training, many will stay in Europe, either interning in Chinatown, or being recommended to intern in other big teams to accumulate experience.

Pep Guardiola is a well-known wise man in the field of professional managers, how could Gao Han let go of such an opportunity?

But where could the former Barcelona coach not be able to see Gao Han's mind clearly?

"You know what? I just called Sir Alex Ferguson the other day, and guess what he said about you?"

"How?"

"He said that if he retires, he must break up with you. ”

"Why?"

"The reason is very simple, he said that he will do everything possible to dig him into Chinatown to teach, just like you dig Lippi, Aragonés and others. After saying that, Guardiola couldn't help but laugh.

"Did he really say that?" Gao Han was depressed at this moment, "Do I really look like that kind of person?"

Pep Guardiola looked at him with both eyes and smiled silently, as if to say, don't look like you, you are simply that.

"Mistakenly made a bad friend!" Gao Han shook his head and complained.
