Chapter 3: Don't give face, don't give face!

The earthquake in Barcelona caused a sensation in the entire European football world, and Russell hired "Brutal Simon" to start taking the route of abandoning tradition and only pursuing results, which led Barcelona's self-righteous and high-minded godfather to come out and speak.

The 71-year-old Dutch man couldn't control his mouth anymore, and he made his voice heard through the media: "The club's purchase of the world's number one star like Shaq is indeed a testament to our ambitions, but Simon? Grayson's ability as a head coach is still debatable, especially his brutal and brutal purge of the team's veterans, which will make the old fans sad, and I have reservations about it. ”

Barcelona this summer is like opening a supermarket, Messi, Pedro, Kompany, Iniesta, Mascherano and other famous stars have all been purged, even Gerrard, who is now in Chinese New Year's Eve and has captained the team since the retirement of the old captain Puyol? Pique was also thrown into the transfer list, and the "brutal Simon" approach really made many people sad and angry.

However, Cruyff obviously did not stand up for the sake of these aging stars, he was mainly unhappy because of his declining influence on the Barcelona team, the La Masia Academy was founded by him, and has influenced Barcelona for decades, but with Shaq, Ganso, Krisetig, Rivero, Ben? With the addition of stars such as Parker, Kovar, Marc, Ayew, Batista, and El Shaarawy, the La Masia Academy has broken the solid foundation of Barcelona, and Barcelona seem to be on a path towards Real Madrid.

Cruyff shelled Simon? When Grayson was around, "Brutal Simon" didn't have time to fight the old guy, and he had to hurry up to familiarize the team with his tactics, but several of his subordinates quit.

First of all, Shaq, the kid with the hat of "King of the Ball", stepped forward. He was rather unkind to the media: "We all know what Barcelona have been like in Europe for the last few years, and I can't think of anything worse than that, so it's been proven that Barcelona need to make a change, and I'm here to help bring back the glory of this team with a glorious tradition!" Someone said, "How is Simon's coaching ability, but I want to ask." A manager who has won a lot of trophies with two club teams, and led LinkedIn Gran to win the Confederations Cup and the World Cup, does he need others to dictate to him? Or, who is qualified to dictate him!? Who? Cruyff, is that you? You have a bullshit qualification for a 10,000-year-old second? Who gave you the right to point fingers!? ”

Shaq's first shot at Cruyff caused an uproar, and everyone knows that Shaq is indeed the only "ball king" in world football today, and he scored 132 goals in three years for Leeds United in his career. He scored 436 goals in four years for Manchester United and 152 goals in 87 appearances for the England national team, but Shaq has not yet reached the age of 26, but he has already won all the accolades a footballer can get...... Of course, not all, but he got the most important honors.

Although Cruyff also has capital and qualifications, he is still far from Pele and Maradona, and he is naturally incomparable with today's Shaq. What's more, Shaq is not fighting alone......

Shaq's good brother Ben? Parker also stood up and spoke: "Cruyff's time has long passed, is he eighty years old now?" Are you tired of jumping out and pointing fingers? Be careful to flash to your waist! Hahaha! ”

Rivero also stood up for his mentor: "Simon is the best manager I've ever met. I've improved very quickly in my three years at Manchester United, and now I'm following Simon to Barcelona, and I believe that if Barcelona want to be the best team in the world again, they have to follow Simon's plan, he is the godfather of the championship, and he knows modern football far better than the old guys who haven't won any accolades in their lives. ”

in this world. There are people who can't get used to Cruyff, and Maradona also jumped out to help Simon? Grayson spoke: "Cruyff's time has long passed, this is what we all know, but I never imagined that he would have Alzheimer's disease so early. I just can't figure it out. What qualifications does a person who has never won a World Championship have to say anything about a World Champion coach and the best players in the world! Has the way of the world changed? Losers can point to the winners!? ”

Ganso, Krissettig, Mark, Battista and others, although the weight was as heavy as Shaq, and Simon? Grayson's relationship is not so iron, but they still stand up to speak for their manager, their group of people came to Barcelona not to sing, they are to follow Simon? Grayson creates even greater brilliance, or like Mark, Ayew, Batista, Shaarawy, etc., and wants to win a few titles in their careers, and all of this obviously requires Simon? Grayson, Shaq as the basis.

In the face of a group of people with enough weight, Cruyff was also powerless, especially Shaq and Maradona, who were recognized as two generations of football kings in the world, and he really couldn't compare with these two.

However, Cruyff will not sit still, he began to lead the war to the other side: "Fans, think of the lads such as Rionel, Andres, Gerrard, Xavier, Alex, they gave everything for the team, but in the end they suffered such unfair treatment and were purged by the new manager, this is simply a shame for us at Barcelona, the players we have cultivated ourselves, after contributing everything to the club, they were also thrown away and turned homeless. This is definitely an inhuman practice! ”

I have to say that Messi, Iniesta, Pique, Mascherano, Sanchez, Pedro and others still have a lot of supporters, and when Cruyff used a few stars to say things, many of Barcelona's many fans began to miss it.

Seeing that there were signs of division between fan organizations, Russell finally couldn't bear the pressure and found Simon? Grayson asked him to calm things down, but Russell didn't expect that Simon? Grayson is no longer the cautious coach he used to be, and now "Brutal Simon" is the best football coach in the world.

Simon? Grayson held a press conference and said a few cool words to countless reporters: "First of all, I am very unhappy with what Cruyff has done...... As a pioneer of Barcelona football, Cruyff never put the development and unity of the team in a more important position, and what he said and did made me doubt his feelings for Barcelona, as many people say, Cruyff is a typical example of old disrespect. ”

"Secondly, I sold some players, not because of their feelings for the team, not because of their lack of personal ability, but because they didn't suit my tactical needs, since I came to Barcelona as a manager, then only I will be responsible for the team's results, the team's results are not good, I will be a sinner, so I need some players who I think can help the team to achieve good results, like Shaq, Ben, Ganso, Mark, Rivero, etc., they are all championship players. I'm sure they'll succeed here! ”

"Finally, please ask some fans whose emotions have been provoked by some people with ulterior motives to think quietly, what do you really want? If you want results from the team, then ...... Two years! I only need two years and I promise to bring back the Champions League trophy for the club! If you can't...... Hehe, I'm not as thick-skinned as some people, I don't even understand the reason why I can't be in my position and don't seek politics, if I can't get Barcelona to become the European champion again in two years, I will take the blame and resign! Now, let's ask the fans and friends to wait quietly to see the team's performance in the new season! ”

Simon? Grayson's words made the reporters all dumbfounded, who would have thought that "Brutal Simon" would be so sharp, without a soft word from beginning to end, he just bombarded Cruyff and made everyone understand that it was just because he was the head coach of Barcelona, the new "football king" Shaq and Ben? Parker, Ganso and other champions will come to Camp Nou, and most importantly...... Simon? Grayson's words hit the soft underbelly of La Masia's heart.

What does Barcelona need most right now!?

Not tradition!

Not La Masia!

But...... Champions, trophies, honors!

In the past few years, Barcelona has been relatively competitive in the league, they have won two league titles in the last four years, but not in the Champions League, only once in four years has reached the last four of the Champions League, and the other three years have been out of the group after reaching the round of 16.

Coupled with the previous years, what Barcelona is most lacking now is the Champions League trophy, and Simon? Grayson is obviously the best candidate in this regard, he took Leeds United and Manchester United to win the Champions League for three consecutive years, and then although he went to coach the "Three Lions", the Champions League still seems to be under the rule of "Brutal Simon", Manchester United and Leeds United took turns to win a Champions League trophy, and Manchester United completed an incredible Champions League triple.

Right now...... Simon? Grayson has become the head coach of Barcelona, so does this also mean that Barcelona will lift the Champions League trophy, and also have the opportunity to win three consecutive championships like the "Red Devils", and even achieve the "six crowns" again!

From this Simon? At the beginning of Grayson's press conference, the fans of Barcelona all quieted down, no matter how reluctant they were to Messi, Iniesta and other stars, they still had to learn to wait. Until Grayson can make any difference to the team, there's nothing they can do but wait for them. (To be continued......)
