Volume 2 Chapter 32 Pep Guardiola
Football tactics have transitioned from antiquity to modern football, and have undergone a great revolution of several generations of top coaches.
Cruyff, Sachi, Capello, Ferguson, Ancelotti, Mourinho, Guardiola......
They either started a tactical revolution or set off a tactical trend.
Cruyff was a perfectionist, and his contribution to football itself far exceeded that of Beckenbauer, Maradona, and Platini.
It is because of La Masia that the concept of possession comes from the Netherlands' all-out attack and defense.
But in those days, Cruyff couldn't achieve his tactical blueprint with the players at hand.
Pass and control, and lead people with the ball, so as to be able to attack and defend fully.
As a result, you will often see Pique playing the center in the future, and Barcelona is full of pressing.
Rush to surround it, doesn't it sound familiar?
The greatness of Xu Genbao's generation lies in the lack of technical ability of the players, and we were also at the forefront of tactics in the past.
Saki and Capello are naturally representatives of Italy's defensive counterattack, and in terms of the richness of football tactics theory, Mackin only serves Italy, and these people study football tactics like a war.
Throughout the nineties, no one was convinced by Italy's chain defense and deadly counterattacks, and the Italian league of that era was known as the mini-World Cup.
Alex Ferguson's attacking style of play has maximised wide flanks, and his tactical philosophy is not new, but it is practical and well-suited to the fast-paced nature of the English league.
The old man's quest for a balance between attack and defence can be said to be a perfect state in the traditional tactical concept, and his two Champions League titles are the fruit of this mature concept.
Ancelotti, a fat man, is not inferior to playing football in his ability to coach, if you want to talk about the training and use of the No. 10 organizational midfielder, Mackin only obeys him, Pirlo has achieved him in Milan, and the Magic Flute has achieved him in Real Madrid.
This fat man's football is always lacking in passion and pyrotechnics, steady like a classic car, slowly hiding murderous opportunities.
His achievements consisted in the revolutionary reform of individual positions.
As for Mourinho, Mackin once thought he didn't understand football at all, yes, he lacked enough theoretical skills.
But he succeeded! That's the result.
Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, the football world is popular with three backs! The word beast demon and the pursuit of the market come largely from him.
He played an anti-football philosophy that was destined to be eliminated, and not just because of the uselessness of possession.
It's the rigidity of tactics, Mourinho debuted for more than ten years, except for the season when he returned to Chelsea from Real Madrid and made a compromise on tactics, all the time it was a tactic.
But those who can make a table of good dishes are not necessarily chefs with superb knife skills, so Makqin does not despise Mu Niao.
People who can succeed have something unique.
This was Guardiola's general knowledge of football's tactical history before he called, and Jonathan came over in the evening with the news that Guardiola was going to speak with him personally.
Regarding Pep Guardiola, Mackin perceives him as a saint, a man who has inherited the philosophy of Barcela-Marcia's football, and is better than blue.
The glory of his debut at Barcelona, the thinking of Bayern, the change of the Manchester City era, he has been groping, learning, and improving.
No matter what others think, Mackin has only two words for him: appreciation, which is his tenacious adherence to his football philosophy and tireless pursuit.
His groping and refinement of tactics rose to the level of belief.
……
Of course, he has not yet become a god, and Barcelona has not become a Cosmos team, and is still just a traditional giant.
So Guardiola didn't come up like a magic stick with a copy of the palm of the gods, and said boy, I see that your bones are strange, come to my bowl, let's save the world together.
"Hello Marc, I'm Pep Guardiola from Barcelona, do you know me?" , a slightly magnetic voice came from the phone.
His English sounded average and he spoke very slowly.
Mark said diligently, of course I know you, but it's not the current you, and now you're just a football celebrity.
"Yes, Pep, I can call you that, Barcelona's No. 4 celebrity, I don't think there are many people in the football world who don't know," Makqin said with a smile.
"Thank you", Pep Guardiola said with a smile, "maybe there is one thing you don't know, I will be the manager of Barcelona after the season, and it is my decision to buy you"
"Oh? Is it? Congratulations and thank you for your appreciation! ", Mark Qin said flatly.
"......", Guardiola was silent for a while, and it was not easy to take it down.
"Want to hear what I think of you?" , he had to stir up the topic again.
Mark Qin was secretly refreshed in his heart, no matter how good you are in the future, you must not eat deflated in me? Hehe, this is his bad taste~
He especially wanted to say that he didn't want to~, and then hey, hey, hey!
"Please say, I'll listen to you", he is still not brain-dead.
'Mark, the first time I watched you play was in your England Double Red Club and I have to say you were dominant when you came on the pitch,' said Guardiola.
He then did not pause, and recalled his journey of getting to know Macqin comprehensively, "Next, I followed every game of yours, and I also watched all your previous game videos"
Hey, hey, it doesn't seem to have much work, and he hasn't played so many games, so he sweats in his heart.
"That's hard work, thank you", he politely thanked him.
Pep Guardiola continued: "Do you know how I feel after watching your game? His tone was visibly excited.
"Hmm"
"It's natural, your style and skills are natural, you don't need to go through any polishing, for players like you, you need nothing more than game experience, it's the right use!"
"Huh?"
"Who do you think are the top two youngsters in football right now?" , Guardiola said excitedly.
"It should be Messi and Ronaldo!" , he said.
"That's right, which of the two do you think is better?" , Guardiola began to lead the rhythm.
Later generations of fans are about to fight a world war in order to argue about which of them is stronger, how do I know? Each has its own advantages~
Guardiola didn't seem to need his answer, and said to himself: "Messi is my player, I know him, his talent is better, of course Ronaldo's talent is also very good, but he needs to be carved, and Messi is born for football"
Feeling that what he was saying was a bit twisted, he asked, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”
"You mean that Messi is born with a knack for how to play, and Ronaldo needs to learn and improve?" , he said depressedly.
If he knows Chinese, Mack Qin will definitely say so, Ronaldo is domineering and rounded enough, Messi is born a congenital master, heaven and man are one, oh no, man and ball are one.
"That's right, Messi's passing has always been free, he naturally knows what to do on the pitch and when, and Ronaldo is more like a sharp knife!" Guardiola seems to be proud to witness the birth of such a player.
"And you", he did not pause, "Mark, you and Messi are the same kind of players, you are born to be the children of God on the field, God must have given you his most beloved blessings"
Uh, that's a bit too high, I'm going to be so awesome again?
Guardiola continued: "Mark, you don't need tactics, because you're tactical! He was even more agitated.
"You're just born for my philosophy, oh, yes, I'm sorry, you don't know my tactical philosophy yet~", Guardiola was a little excited and incoherent.
"Any position and tactic is a restriction and a waste of you, and there is one thing that you are more terrible than Messi, and I even wondered at one point that God gave you his eyes", he sighed to himself.
Groov! This Pep Guardiola also shuttled back with glasses? Otherwise, how would he know that I have God's perspective~
"Hehe, you're overrated," he said unnaturally.
"Mark", as if he didn't hear it, "My football philosophy is to control, to control the ball and the space, and then to control the opposing players, and I think you know what that means, because your style is a natural fit with mine!" ”
"And you," he said, faster and faster, "is the natural commander of this idea!" ”
Mackin wanted to ask, what about Harvey? After all, he hasn't been made hot, otherwise he will be exposed.
"Whew, Mark, I believe that only under my men can you shine the brightest, Rafa is a good coach, but he is not for you!"
Good guy, you haven't made your debut yet, Benitez is almost a Grand Slam, and you just have a good opinion of him?
"Thank you, Pep, no one has praised me so much, it's a great encouragement to me, I don't want to think about it so much now, the main task now is to work hard for the league championship", to be honest, although he knows, he is still a little touched, there is a person who appreciates you so much, no one will hate.
Pep Guardiola calmed down and continued: "I know, it's a bit unrealistic to get you right now, but I still let the club make an offer, do you know why? ”
Cast a long line of fishing......
"This summer, Mark", sure enough, "I hope you think about it, your physical condition and style, the Spanish league is more suitable for you, it's not to convince you"
"Thank you", when it comes to this, Mackin can't help but know what to do, "Pep, I believe you will succeed, and I will also consider your suggestions in the summer, maybe we have similar understandings and views on football, and finally see if we can have a chance to cooperate~"
"Hehe", Guardiola said with a smile, this kind of player is the same as Messi, and is unique in the world, so he can afford patience and waiting~
"Mark, I'm really looking forward to working with you and you'll see my football next year, I'm sure it's better than any other language, because I'm sure that's what you're after."
……
"Whew", put down the phone, he walked to the balcony to take a breath, and Isabella brought him a glass of hot milk.
"Thank you, dear", he took it, smiled at Isabella, and turned to look at the darkness in the distance fixedly, his thoughts drifting~
Ideal? Isn't it just because I want to play football? Have I achieved my vision? What is my ideal?
Jonathan walked over, leaned over the railing and said, "What, heartbeat?" ”
He shook his head, a little hesitant, "You say, is football an ideal?" ”
Jonathan was silent for a moment, "Maybe"
"I met an idealist tonight, his ideals, great, his football has probably transcended winning and losing", Guardiola's words touched him a lot.
He didn't talk about the champion, he didn't talk about the core, he only talked about the ideal.
Do we play for ideals?
So how do you kick to achieve your ideals?
Score a lot of goals?
Won a lot of championships?
Pep Guardiola said, "My dream is to show the world what I think is the best football!
What an exciting ideal, worthy of the word sublime!
Like-minded people are friends, and whether they can work together in the future or not, he feels that he and Guardiola will become friends.
The best football, the best of yourself!
The wind suddenly blows a pool of spring water......
