1013 Double Crown
Pep Guardiola is leaving Barcelona?
The news quickly dominated the headlines of major media around the world, even surpassing Real Madrid's double, and everyone was surprised by Pep Guardiola's decision, because he was a legend of Barcelona when he was a player, and he is still very successful after transforming into a manager, even if he has not helped Barcelona win the Champions League so far.
Some legends don't need to be proven by results, and Pep Guardiola falls into this category.
Even the Barcelona fans themselves were shocked because they were all in disbelief and panicked by Pep Guardiola's departure.
In the post-match press conference, after Guardiola personally admitted that he was about to leave, Barcelona President Rosell also quickly came forward and said in an interview with the media that he regretted Guardiola's departure, "but he has made up his mind." ”
Rosell said that Barcelona had a difficult season, the team had a lot of problems, and Guardiola did his best, but in the end he could not get a satisfactory result, and the management is also discussing the issue.
'There is no doubt that we are in full swing finalising the strategy for the regrouping of the squad this summer, with some players staying and others leaving, which is normal, and the only thing we can say for sure at the moment is that we will be bringing in reinforcements in a number of positions this summer, including left wing-back, centre-back, midfielder and striker.
Rusell also said that after Pep Guardiola's departure, assistant coach Vilanova will be the team's head coach for the new season.
'He's a Barça coach, he's very familiar with everything in the team, he's been in the youth team for a long time, and he's got a lot of experience in the first team to take over as manager and he's able to maximise the stability of the team.
……
Russell's words undoubtedly shattered the illusions of all Barcelona fans, Barcelona's Pep Guardiola era is over, and the Vilanova era is about to usher, and Barcelona will also invest heavily in reinforcements this summer.
The next day, in addition to reporting on Guardiola's departure and Real Madrid's double, a number of Catalan media also broke the news that Barcelona had basically negotiated Valencia's left-wing international Jordi Alba.
The 23-year-old Spain newcomer is a native Catalan who has been part of Barcelona's La Masia Academy since he was a child, and has been team-mates with the likes of Mérida, Bojan and dos Santos.
After seven years at La Masia, Alba was forced to leave the club because he could not meet Barca's requirements, switched to Cornella in the lower league, and two years later was bought by Valencia for 6,000 euros to join the Academy of the Bat Army, and then went on loan to Tarragona, and began to establish himself in the Valencia first team in 09.
Alba has been an international for the Spanish youth team since he was a child, and on October 11, 2011, because of his outstanding performance in Valencia, he was called up by manager Bosque to join the Spanish national team, and established himself as the main left wing-back of the Spanish national team.
Small, fast, good at the feet and strong in attack, Alba has become a weapon to rely on for Valencia and the Spanish national team, and Barcelona are also keen to bring in Alba to strengthen the left side of the team.
Due to the player's strong desire to join Barcelona, it is difficult for Valencia to entangle in this transfer, and in the end they can only agree to the 14 million euro offer made by Barcelona, and Alba will officially join Barcelona after the season.
In addition to Alba, the Catalan media also revealed that Barcelona is still in full swing to operate Neymar, hoping to form a dream combination of Neymar and Messi, plus Sanchez and Pedro, Barcelona will have a super attacking lineup that is not lost to Real Madrid.
The defensive side is the most criticized area of Barcelona this season, and the media also broke the news, saying that the Barcelona management is preparing to start operating AC Milan central defender Thiago Silva, hoping that the Brazilian central defender can strengthen and improve Barcelona's backline, and the midfield is valued by Arsenal captain Alexander Song.
As soon as the news broke, it immediately caused a huge chain reaction in the whole of Spain and even European football.
There is no doubt that several of the targets given by Barcelona are very feasible reinforcements, although they are not top superstars, but they are all very good, and they are also one of the best players in their respective positions, if they can all join, it will undoubtedly greatly improve Barcelona's competitiveness.
Jordi Alba's decision to make Neymar, Alexandre Song and Thiago Silva have largely been finalised, and the negative impact of Pep Guardiola's departure has been greatly diluted.
Surprisingly, after losing La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey in succession, and after Pep Guardiola announced that he would leave the club after the season, Barcelona suddenly took on a new look.
…………
…………
In the 36th round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Sevilla.
The game looked more like a game for Real Madrid players to maintain their form, and with two games in a row, Carlo Ancelotti rotated his squad once again.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic assisted Yang Yang to score in the 19th minute, Di Maria assisted Ibrahimovic at the beginning of the second half, and three minutes later, Yang Yang assisted the Swedish center forward to score twice.
In the end, Ibrahimovic scored two shots and one pass to help Real Madrid beat Sevilla 3-0.
In another matchup almost at the same time, Barcelona beat Rayo Vallecano 7-0 away, and Messi performed very well with two passes and two shots, giving Barcelona another big victory this season.
However, at this time, no matter how much Barcelona wins, it will not be able to change the situation.
……
A week later, the thirty-seventh round of La Liga.
Barcelona hosted Espanyol at home, and Messi once again burst into crazy form, putting on a quadruple at the Camp Nou, two of which were penalties to help Barcelona beat Espanyol 4-0 at home.
At the same time, Real Madrid reversed Granada 2-1 with Yang Yang's pass and shot away.
It was a tough game, with Real Madrid making extensive changes to their rotation and not playing well away from home.
……
May 12, the 38th round of La Liga.
Barcelona take on Real Betis away.
Sergio Busquets opened the scoring for Barcelona in the eighth minute, but Castro scored twice in three minutes to turn the lead around and it was only in the second minute of stoppage time that Seydou Keita's goal equalised.
In the end, the two sides shook hands 2-2.
At the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid defeated Real Mallorca 4-1 with Yang Yang's brace, goals from Ibrahimovic and Robben, and ended the season in La Liga with a wonderful victory.
……
The sky was not beautiful, and the drizzle was pouring over the Bernabeu, but it could not extinguish the fanatical hearts of everyone in the stadium, especially the Real Madrid players and fans.
When the game was over, the Real Madrid players rushed to the sidelines and threw coach Carlo Ancelotti into the air.
It's a special treat for the championship coach and an affirmation for Carlo Ancelotti.
With the Spanish Super Cup and UEFA Super Cup at the beginning of the season, the Club World Cup at the middle of the season, the Copa del Rey at the end of the season and tonight's La Liga title, Real Madrid has enjoyed a bumper harvest this season, with almost all the trophies except for the Champions League that has not yet arrived.
Although Ancelotti is a newcomer and is still the hegemon of the Champions League for two consecutive years, his coaching ability has still been recognized and affirmed by Real Madrid, and his coaching style has also been unanimously approved by Real Madrid, and he has won the love and respect of all players in the dressing room.
Although he also has a fierce side, he is more of a kind person, and he always treats people with a kind spirit, which is undoubtedly the most suitable for Real Madrid stars, especially after experiencing a strong manager like Benitez.
After celebrating with his teammates, Yang Yang slowly walked towards Zidane and just wanted to hug him, but the French legend avoided him.
"Don't be like this, last time you ruined a beloved suit, I was left with this suit." Zidane scolded with a smile.
Yang Yang smiled, "I've already asked Armani's people to come over, and I'll give you two sets when I go back." ”
This is said arrogantly, but it seems a bit wealthy.
Zidane also smiled and nodded, gladly accepting.
The French have always been introverted and not good at contacting the outside world, let alone accepting gifts from others, but in his heart, Yang Yang obviously does not belong to outsiders, they live in the same community, although they are a little far away, but the relationship is very good.
For example, when Su Ye was sent to the hospital to give birth, Zidane personally drove Yang Yang over.
"Messi didn't score in this round, you won." Zidane laughed.
He is really a little scary about this, because Yang Yang and Messi have scored more than half a hundred goals this season.
Yang Yang scored 53 goals, two fewer than last season, but assisted as many as 22 goals, which is twice as many as last season, which is a very scary number, and he alone created more than half of Real Madrid's goals.
Messi is also terrifying, scoring 51 goals this season, and if it weren't for Yang Yang's two goals in this round, the two would have been tied.
And both of them are currently 14 goals in the Champions League, and Yang Yang needs to score again in the final to surpass Messi.
As for the Copa del Rey, Yang Yang scored six goals in the end, far surpassing players such as Llorente and becoming the winner of the Copa del Rey Golden Boot.
Scoring more than half a hundred, if it was ten years ago, it would have been regarded as an impossible task, but Yang Yang has achieved it for two consecutive seasons, and Messi has also achieved it this season.
It's scary to think about!
However, this also proves one thing again, that is, Yang Yang and Messi, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo of the Premier League, are the most premier superstars in world football today.
Especially Yang Yang and Messi, they are the kind of superstars who can help the team improve a level by themselves.
