Maria really guessed correctly, most of the fans at the scene were coming for Lin Quan.

As for the people who welcomed the team's new coach Pep Guardiola, there were also people, but there were not so many, many people came to Lin Quan, and then welcomed Guardiola by the way.

But Pep Guardiola doesn't know this, he sees so many fans coming to support him, that's a touch!

What a great place to be!

The owner of the team is reasonable, and the fans are so hospitable, if he can't leave something for the team, I'm really sorry for these fans who support him.

Manchester City attach great importance to Pep Guardiola's signing and held a grand meeting for him at the Etihad Stadium.

There were a lot of fans and reporters at the meeting, and the scene was very lively.

Manchester City fans held signs of welcome, chanted Guardiola's name, and saw Guardiola as a savior.

Everyone is hoping that he can help the team get out of the current slump.

As for the reporters present, they are completely chasing the heat, in order to hype up the topic and increase the sales and clicks of the newspaper.

Sky Sports even went live to broadcast the meeting live to fans around the world.

And this live broadcast, which was held during the non-prime time during the day, actually attracted more than 5 million viewers to watch it at the same time.

That's more than many Premier League games!

"He is worthy of being a world-class handsome, and just a meeting attracted so many people to watch!"

"That is, this is the founder of the Dream Three Dynasty, a man who has won the Champions League twice in three years!"

"Hehe, I don't know if Guardiola can continue the glory he created at Barcelona at Manchester City!"

"I think it's hanging, Manchester City's heritage is far worse than Barcelona's, Barcelona's La Masia academy is known to the world, Manchester City? I haven't heard of any famous Academy players at Manchester City anyway! ”

"Manchester City's youth training is indeed a shortcoming, but this is also related to the relatively short time they have received capital injections, after all, it has only been 6 years since the Abu Dhabi consortium bought the team."

"That's right, teams like Barcelona and Ajax, their youth systems have taken generations and decades to build, and they didn't succeed overnight."

"The Abu Dhabi consortium is still relatively reliable, they attach great importance to youth training, and many of the club's operating costs are spent on improving youth training facilities and establishing youth training echelons at all levels every year!"

"It does sound much better than Grand Paris, there is no blind money to buy people to solve the problem!"

"So there is also a gap between the local tyrants in the Middle East and the local tyrants!"

"Indeed, the Qatari consortium feels like a ticket, and it can't be compared with the Abu Dhabi consortium behind Manchester City!"

Fans were originally talking about Manchester City, but then the topic was diverted as they chatted.

It has gradually become a verbal criticism of Paris Saint-Germain!

As it turns out, the fans don't absolutely hate Golden Dollar football.

They just hate the kind of team that doesn't respect the laws of football, doesn't run its own academy, and knows that it is waving money to poach other people's corners in the transfer market.

Manchester City were hated at first, but over the years they have gradually stepped back on the right track.

Manchester City's current youth training is not bad, but it may take a while to produce results, but they are at least on the right path, and the future is promising!

Don't even have to wait for the future, Manchester City is already strong now.

Although most of the players are not self-trained, it is not unusual in football, and there are few players in the Real Madrid squad who have been trained by themselves.

The bigger the team, the higher the selection standards for players, which means that even players from their own academy will find it difficult to establish themselves in the home team.

……

At the meeting, Guardiola glanced at the expectant faces of tens of thousands of fans at the scene, and immediately felt the responsibility on his shoulders.

He took a deep breath and spoke:

'I am very grateful to Manchester City for giving me the opportunity to coach here, Manchester City is a team with a long history and a team that has been reborn.

I'm looking forward to spending the next four years here and I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy it with all of you. ”

The fans at the scene heard Guardiola's words and cheered and applauded him excitedly.

"Today, I don't want to talk about my past successes, because everyone knows that I have two Champions League titles, so I don't need to stress that!"

Pep Guardiola said with a smile, and the fans at the scene also let out a burst of laughter.

It's a response to a coach whose mantra is: 'I have two Champions League winners!' ’

"I'm here now to help Manchester City find a new, stronger and more suited tactical style of play, such as Manchester City-style pass-and-control football!"

Pep Guardiola's words once again received warm applause from the fans, and what they were most worried about was that Guardiola would change Barcelona to Manchester City without making any changes.

But from Guardiola's words just now, they heard each other's promises that Guardiola would not do this.

"I know the current players at Manchester City, like the guy who wears the number 10 shirt!"

This sentence caused the fans to laugh again, and the camera at the scene was also aimed at Lin Quan, who was sitting in the front row.

Manchester City's No. 10 is none other than Lin Quan.

With the relationship between Lin Quan and Guardiola, it would be strange if he didn't even know Lin Quan!

'Man City have a very good group of players and I'm going to take the time to get to know them, hug them and of course get angry at them once in a while!

The Manchester City player sitting next to Lin Quan looked at him as if to confirm this to him.

Lin Quan nodded, Guardiola usually has a better temper, but once he enters the working state, he will be a little disrespectful.

At the end of the meeting, Guardiola said something complimentary:

'One of my dreams was to play at Manchester City as a player, but that wasn't possible.

But to be here as a head coach now is a kind of fulfillment of my dream! ”

Hearing Pep Guardiola's words, Manchester City fans were very happy and gave him a round of applause.

But Lin Quan on the sidelines couldn't help but want yue: I didn't expect Guardiola, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to actually slap the horse!

Pep Guardiola enjoyed the enthusiastic applause from the fans:

"I have to say that the atmosphere is incredible, and on the first day I arrived in Manchester, I felt the enthusiasm of the fans.

I want to live in this atmosphere all the time, and I want to know more and get in touch with more so that I can become a good manager in your hearts! ”

After Guardiola complimented the team and the fans, the meeting came to an end.

When it came time for the on-site interview, reporters who had long been impatient rushed forward, and the first question they asked made people can't help but prick up their ears.

One of the reporters shouted: "Coach Pep, will you buy Messi?" ”

Pep Guardiola was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice and responded:

'Messi is a very good player and if he wants to come and the club is willing to buy it, of course I want to bring him to the Etihad Stadium because I want to see the chemistry of the two Messis on the pitch like everybody.

The fans and reporters laughed heartily, and Pep Guardiola spoke their minds.

Indeed, many people are very curious, if Lin Quan and Messi appeared on the same team, what would it be like?

The results of these two people leading the team separately are already so terrible, if the two of them are together, then I am afraid that there is no team in the entire football world that can compete with it, right?

Of course, considering the super high value of these two people, it is not easy to gather them at the same time.

During the summer transfer period, Grand Paris once made an offer to Manchester City, although it was unsuccessful, but it let the world know the true value of players of Messi and Lin Quan - more than 200 million euros!

If a team wants to collect both players, it will cost more than 400 million euros in transfer fees alone.

Even if Manchester City and Barcelona want to achieve this achievement, they will have to spend at least 200 million euros.

This amount, for the vast majority of teams in today's football, is astronomical.

Probably only teams like Manchester City and Grand Paris, backed by Middle Eastern tycoons, have such financial resources!

It just so happens that Lin Quan's Manchester City has such financial resources, and the relationship between Guardiola and Messi has always been very good.

With Manchester City's financial resources and Guardiola's use of his personal connections to lobby Messi, it is really possible to move him to join.

Therefore, after hearing Guardiola's statement, fans and reporters couldn't help but think about it.

Some reporters who are doing good things have already prepared a draft in their hearts, and after waiting for the press conference to end, they will go back to make a big news.

It's not just journalists who want to make big news, but Manchester City boss Mansour, who attended Pep Guardiola's meeting in person.

After hearing Guardiola's above statement, he mistakenly thought that the other party was making a request to the club.

So, he explained to his assistant in a serious manner:

"After the winter break starts, make a new offer to Barcelona and try to see if you can bring Messi from Barcelona."

While this may cost a lot of money, money is not a problem at all for the deep-pocketed Mansour.

As long as he can strengthen the strength of the team, he will not refuse all the requests made by Guardiola.

Pep Guardiola's move to Manchester City has garnered a lot of attention in the UK and across Europe.

Pep Guardiola is very famous and has achieved great success in his coaching career, so his every move has been closely watched.

Add to that the team he joined was the last Champions League winner, and there is one of football's hottest superstars in the team.

Such a strong combination will naturally cause concern and vigilance among other teams, especially those giants aiming for the Champions League.

In particular, Guardiola also offered to buy Messi, which caused everyone to worry even more.

After Guardiola's words were transmitted to La Liga, Barcelona FC stood up for the first time:

Messi is not for sale of the team, Barcelona will not put Messi on the shelf at any time, he will die at Camp Nou!

Obviously, Barcelona was a little panicked.

As Messi's mentor, Guardiola has a high status in Messi's heart.

Many players, including Messi and Barcelona, miss the time when they played under Pep Guardiola.

Therefore, Barcelona FC is very worried that these players will not be able to resist the temptation and really run to Manchester City after being seduced by Guardiola.

Barcelona has missed Lin Quan and must not let Messi go again.

If Messi leaves, Barcelona is afraid that it will be beaten back to its original shape!

Their current entire team's tactical system is built around Messi, and once Messi leaves, then they will be completely finished.

Although Barcelona has repeatedly stressed that Messi is not for sale, it is absolutely impossible to sell.

But journalists and fans didn't really believe the club's words.

In the era of commercial football, what credibility can be given to what the club says is not like a fart?

The winter break is coming soon, and as soon as the transfer window opens, they will know whether what Barcelona said is true or not!

……

In a mansion in Barcelona, Rio Messi turned off the live TV.

Others are a little confused!

Pep actually said that he wanted to take himself to Manchester City?

Is he serious, or is he joking?

If he did make an invitation to himself, should he accept it?

Messi is in turmoil, he has a deep affection for Barcelona and does not want to leave here.

But Pep Guardiola has been kind to him and admires him very much.

Rejecting Guardiola's invitation will make Messi feel ashamed of the other party.

So, the best-case scenario is for Pep Guardiola to return to Camp Nou, and the duo will join forces again.

But that vision was shattered the moment Pep Guardiola landed in the Premier League.

Thinking of this, Messi couldn't help but sigh.

……

The biggest reaction to Pep Guardiola's move to Manchester City has been their two league rivals – Manchester United and Chelsea.

As Manchester City's sworn rivals, Manchester United do not want Manchester City to come out of the doldrums.

They wish City would continue to sink like this, and then wait until the next Manchester derby, when they teach City a hard lesson at Old Trafford.

As for Chelsea, they are City's biggest rivals for the title this season.

In the last five league games, Chelsea have won back-to-back games to overtake a slumping Manchester City in the table.

At present, after 17 rounds, Chelsea have 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, and are at the top of the table with 42 points.

Manchester City, on the other hand, is in second place with 12 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 39 points.

The gap between the two teams is not huge, with only one game.

Considering there is still a head-to-head clash between the two sides in the second half of the season, if City return to form and beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's current lead will be wiped out.

So, Jose Mourinho and his Chelsea are wary of Pep Guardiola's arrival.
