On the plane to the German second division Bochum, Heideward also happened to meet Pep Guardiola, who was traveling in Germany, and he sat next to his wife with his little daughter in her arms. The man in front of him is far more silent than the image shown by the media, he talks to his wife about the scenery, talks about the education of his son and daughter, but does not say a word of football from beginning to end.

In fact, since he took over the Barcelona first team, he has done enough conversations in front of the players and the press, and he has been through 546 press conferences, what he has said is enough to constitute an encyclopedia of Pep Guardiola's football philosophy. For him personally, he sat in front of the media for 272 hours, a full 11 days. He is asked at least 8oo questions a month, and every word he says will be analyzed by the media, every gesture will be scrutinized, and every tone will be interpreted by the media.

Some people will ask Gua Shuai if he believes in God, some will ask him if he can write poetry, some will ask him about his political position, some will ask him about his views on the financial crisis, and countless others will be entangled in the renewal of his contract. The pre-game press conference is at least half an hour long, and the news on it tends to be the big news of the day.

Ward could almost imagine Cap grabbing a stream of water and hurriedly sitting at his desk in a flash-lit conference room, nervously fumbling with the microphone, ready to let you into his world. When the cloth meeting began, he leaned forward and approached the microphone and began to speak:

"Fans want to know if the players are working as hard as they do. We're very strict with our players and they're fined if they're late for training, so it's a good thing to let the fans know how we treat our players. Fans want to see their own projections on the players. It's a protection and in tough years one has to see that the team didn't lose because of laziness, they made the effort. ”

"I don't know what makes a good coach, we didn't create or reform. The tactical concepts I used have already been put to good use, and I have learned them from others. The secret is to grasp the details and be observant. You have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on every day, even more so than you do at the weekend. I pay attention to every aspect of the player, his mood, his expression, there are thousands of unpredictable factors that affect the team, and it is very important to observe. ”

"If I lose, I question whether I have what it takes to be a coach and if I can maintain leadership. If you win, the ecstasy lasts for 5 minutes and then disappears. ”

"Why am I more like a leader than those coaches who have been working for 2o years and are empty-handed, it's not modesty, I don't know why, I just know that if I wasn't at Barça, I wouldn't have won these trophies."

'The key to victory is that you have a cohesive dressing room and the players understand that the strength of the whole is greater than the individual.

'There's a lot of stuff that makes up this team. Today we were planning to train at 5 o'clock, but most of us came at 4 o'clock and 3o. Because I've said it, they've heard it with their own ears, and if we don't, any opponent can beat us and the players know that. I convinced them that if everyone did their part, we would be hard to beat. ”

"It's exactly the same with the other team. My closeness to the players is decreasing year by year, and it's also a form of self-preservation. Because I would suffer because of that kind of close relationship, I chose to drift away. ”

Ward felt that if he were a player, he would like a coach like that. It's a home game and you're having lunch with your team-mates at the training base in the morning. As always, Pep sends everyone home so you and your family can recuperate. You like it, even though it's more intense, but you don't have to wait for the game to start. You have to get back to Camp Nou two hours before the start of the game, though.

An hour before the game, before you were quite ready to warm up, Pep came, he took off his coat, which is usually a white slim shirt, he straightened his tie, rolled up his sleeves and started to get into shape. Everyone walked to the big room next to the locker room and sat down to listen to him. He clapped his hands and shouted, "Gentlemen," and the moment the room is quiet, you will be alerted, he will tell you how to win that game, he will show you the way to show it to you.

After warming up, head back to the locker room, where you won't be able to see Pep anymore as he's hid in his office. In the course of his coaching, he gradually began to keep his distance from his players, leaving the dressing room to the players. He would stand at the door of the dressing room, pacing, pushing the door in the last minute to repeat the instructions.

Some coaches like to be on their players' turf, but the important thing Hydward learned from Pep Guardiola is that it's a refuge for players who don't have to worry about being punished. You can talk to the girl about the car, and if you dare you can also scold the coach.

It's a classroom with no teachers, and once the teacher pushes the door in, there is silence because it means it's time to start.

Ward is not a coach who believes in a thousand passes to death, but rather admires Mourinho's defensive and fast counter-attack, but he is particularly fond of appreciating Guardiola's treatment of players, like the fun and strict head teacher of secondary school.

Mourinho's competition mechanism, catching ghosts is really not playable by ordinary people, at least Hydeward can't do it, he doesn't need players to go up the knife mountain and oil pot for himself, and he doesn't need them to be Zhou Cang who carries the knife, they just need to be themselves. Therefore, the dilemma of the magic bird, what he needs is a group of self-motivated players, which is the most valuable quality of the current generation of veterans, but in today's society and era, the more prominent the personality of the players, where will the leaders of the younger generation play for others.

Players are players, coaches are coaches, players treat you like a mom and dad but you can't think that way.

Players have their own set of value systems, Sadio Mane had a little injury last season, he felt something was wrong and immediately stopped, even if you think he can continue to hold on to this is just a small injury, the player will not listen to you, even if he has a good relationship with this coach, he will be responsible for his career, he must be responsible, but he must not be responsible for the coach. Mane is such a good guy who can resist the temptation, not to mention the other players, and the only one who insists on playing despite injuries is a fool from the team's academy like Margery.

Hydward asked Pep Guardiola for an autograph, Guardiola has a good memory, obviously remembering who the person in front of him is, Icardi was taken away from Barcelona's youth team contract expired, he just didn't expect that the young man who negotiated with the club would be the head coach of the British promotion.

Pep Guardiola also congratulated Portsmouth on winning Kevin De Bruyne, who he felt was a young man with unlimited potential, like Barcelona's Andres Iniesta. Ward also felt that he had good luck, so he took advantage of the situation to ask him if he knew Goretzka, who played in Bochum in the German Second Division, but Guardiola thought for a long time and didn't know who he was, so he could only shake his head, Ward smiled, feeling that he was going to have good luck again
