Chapter 1031: Nobody
"Our selection of coaches for the new season has not yet been decided? Is it? ”
In the post bar of Beijing Guoen, a bar friend sent such a post full of worry, which immediately attracted hundreds of replies and attracted the attention of fans in the post bar.
"yes, still no news."
"I went over the wall to take a look outside, and found that many foreign media are also paying attention, but there is still no exact news, and it is estimated that the club should still be in the process of selection."
"It's not easy to choose a head coach, especially the head coach of the Chinese Super League, the cards are small, we can't look down on them, and the cards are bigger, so I guess we don't want to come, so this kind of thing is very tangled."
"Ahem, actually, I really think it would be pretty good if we kept Manzano."
"Yes, I also think that Manzano played well last season, and has the experience of coaching the Chinese Super League, the strength of the team has improved significantly, and I believe that the coaching level will definitely improve."
"Manzano...... It's a pity that I went to Longhai Shenhua, but it's no wonder that the new team, after all, this decision was made at the end of the season, and now the new team wants to urgently invite a coach, which is relatively hasty. ”
"This summer, the team has been aggressively recruited, the strength of the team has improved, but the management has also become more difficult, if it is not for the big-name coach, I am afraid that it may not be able to control this European star."
"Isn't there still Bielsa? In terms of big names, who is better than Bielsa in today's football? ”
"If you want me to say, just let Bielsa be the head coach."
"You think, I guess the management team thinks so too, but Bielsa has long said that after leaving the Saints' position, he ******** engaged in research, when the mood is up, and then come out to coach, now I haven't thought about coaching Guoen at all."
"Besides, he came to Guoen because of the face of Young Master Huan, so he came to help rectify the youth training, and the focus is on the youth training system, and he generally won't easily meddle in the affairs of the first team."
At this time, a senior bar friend followed the post below and expressed his opinion on the incident.
"That's right, I really think that Guoen's current management structure is more rigorous and more reasonable, but I don't know why, I hope he won't be so reasonable now, let Bielsa directly manage the team, how good it is."
"From my recent analysis, combined with some of the words of Mr. Fang's public interviews with Bielsa and others, I think that the team is indeed playing a big game of chess now, why do you say that?"
'First of all, I think the goal is to unify the style of the first team and the Academy, and Bielsa has said that the tactics of the first team will go one step further and incorporate more advanced concepts such as high pressing.
"From this point of view, I think that the coaches such as Benitez, Mazzarri and Prandelli that have been rumored by the media are indeed famous coaches, but they are not suitable for the development direction of the team."
"However, we should also see that in European football, there are also many teams pursuing this type of coach, so Guardiola will be so favored, in this case, the selection of the coach of the national team is naturally very difficult, but once the right choice is made, it will not be easily replaced, after all, this type of good coach is not easy to find."
"I searched for it with the football manager's scouting tool, and I also found that this type of head coach is basically famous, and it is not easy to invite him to coach the Chinese Super League."
"So, it's really impossible to know exactly how it works and who to choose."
"I believe that with Young Master Huan's connections and prestige in European football, there should be a better choice."
The senior barmate's long analysis was immediately unanimously praised and affirmed by the barmates.
But when it comes to which manager will be brought in, no one has been able to answer the question of the sticker bar, which has attracted the attention of nearly a million fans, because they have no way to get information from within the club.
The biggest piece of news is that there is a relative of a bar friend who serves in the Guoen team in the capital, saying that the selection of the coach is personally responsible for Young Master Huan, which is already the closest news to the truth that everyone can get in the post bar.
All the bar friends are very anxious, because there is not much time left before the start of the league, the team training camp is approaching, but the coach has not yet done it, which is really difficult to reassure.
And also? Although the foreign aid has brought in two superstars, Terry and Kaka, it still has not been able to make up for the lack of strength in the offensive end of the national team, especially the two superstar reinforcements promised by the club, which have not yet been negotiated.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the post bar is generally pessimistic, for fear that the team will release the plane again.
However, there are also a group of die-hard Young Master Huan fans who believe that with Young Master Huan's consistent style, it is impossible to be untrustworthy, and the team's recruitment and selection of coaches need to be done step by step, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight, so you have to wait patiently.
It was at this time that someone suddenly sent out a post in the post bar.
"Oh my God, the official announcement of Guoen, signing the new handsome is a nobody?"
Countless bar friends clicked on the post and found that there was not only a freshly baked screenshot of the official website of Beijing Guoen, which said that Beijing Guoen officially signed Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino.
For a while, the post bar went crazy!
"Who's Pochettino?"
"What the hell is this guy, I haven't heard of it at all?"
"It seems a little familiar, did you coach La Liga before?"
"When you say that, I remember, it seems to be, but I can't remember."
"I took a special look at it, Pochettino, forty-three years old, a disciple of Bielsa, the pinnacle of his coaching career was coaching Espanyol, and he once performed eye-catching, but he was soon dismissed because of poor results, and then he moved to two or three teams in La Liga, and his performance was not ideal, and he is currently at home."
"Oh my God, wouldn't it? Just such a manager? It can't be a fool, right? ”
"Isn't it? Pick and choose, and actually choose a nobody? ”
"My God, you don't have such a playful person, do you?"
"What the hell is going on with Young Master Huan? Chose such a nobody? ”
"In my opinion, keeping Manzano, or simply choosing Benitez, Mazzari and the others, are better than him!"
However, there are also people in the post bar who came out to protest.
"Since the coach was personally selected by Young Master Huan, then I believe that there will definitely be no problem, and Young Master Huan must have made a decision after careful consideration."
"Yes, Du Niang also said, Bielsa disciple, it can be seen that it should be carefully selected."
"Who was the last Belsa disciple? Martino, who led Monaco to promotion and reached the Champions League in the promotion season, is now in charge of the Argentine national team! ”
"It makes sense, Bielsa produced it, it must be a high-quality product!"
"Wrong, the upstairs should be produced by Young Master Huan, it must be a high-quality product!"

…………
In less than a day, the unfamiliar name Pochettino swept through China with lightning speed, becoming a hot term on the Internet and in newspapers and magazines.
It's hard to believe that Mauricio Pochettino, a previously unknown young coach, has suddenly become the manager of the Beijing Guoen team.
But whenever a Chinese Super League team invites a foreign coach, it is basically a choice of famous coaches, especially in recent years, if you have not coached in the European first-tier league and have had certain achievements, you are embarrassed to come to the Super League.
But Pochettino is not only young, but his resume is also very mediocre, and even the teams he has coached have basically ended in failure, the longest time was coaching Espanyol, and the result was also anticlimactic, gray and disgraced.
Such a head coach is worthy of the star-studded Jingcheng Guoen?
Compared with other teams in the Chinese Super League, such as Lippi, Scolari, Eriksen and other world-class coaches, Pochettino is too shabby, right?
Interestingly, the fans had a good time, but the mainstream media was more cautious.
Among them, the Emperor of Football, who is popular among domestic fans, has specially launched a long article introducing Pochettino.
"After learning that Beijing Guoen signed Pochettino, the old ball contacted several colleagues in the Spanish football world for the first time, and when they heard that Pochettino chose the Chinese Super League team, they were all shocked and shouted that it was impossible, but when they heard that it was Master Huan's team, they were immediately relieved."
"According to what my Spanish colleagues told me, Pochettino's reputation in La Liga was not very good, but everyone would say that he was a talented manager, but unfortunately he was a little bit unlucky."
"As everyone knows, Pochettino's coaching philosophy is very similar to Bielsa, the first stop of his coaching career was Espanyol, but what many people don't know is that Pochettino took over the team in the 0809 season, with three wins, three draws and seven defeats from his predecessor, and two draws and three defeats from interim coach Mani, when Espanyol were deep in the relegation zone."
"And Pochettino's first game as the team's famous man took over the team, he lost 0-4 away to Malaga, which became the Spaniard's biggest defeat that season, and also put Pochettino under great pressure."
'After three successive draws, one draw and then a home defeat to Sevilla, the Spaniards suffered a miserable fourteen-game winless run, and to add insult to injury, it was the time when the Spaniards welcomed the unbeatable Barcelona.
"Yes, it's the Dream Three team led by Pep Guardiola who won the Grand Slam."
"Barcelona was invincible at that time, except for the first round of the league away to Numancia, in the remaining 23 games, Guardiola's team won 20 and drew 3 and remained unbeaten!"
"Two sworn rivals in the same city, one is a star-studded, invincible and invincible top giant, while the other is a mere relegation team hovering in the relegation zone, and at Camp Nou, everyone thinks Pochettino's side will suffer a heavy defeat."
'But it turned out to be a surprise, as Mauricio Pochettino's side came home with a 2-1 win away from home.
"Not only in the league, but in the Copa del Rey, in the two legs of the Espanyol against Barcelona, Pochettino's side drew 0-0 at home to Barcelona and then lost 2-3 to the Camp Nou.
'Mauricio Pochettino's side were 3-0 down and put Barcelona in a wrenched position, scoring two goals in a row, and it remains to be seen whether Pochettino's side would have been able to pull off an upset if it weren't for the red card from the defenders.
"And if it really upset the Spaniards, where did Barcelona's dream three dynasties and Grand Slams come from?"
"Obviously it was these games that greatly stimulated Pochettino, and although the results of the Espanyol team still did not improve after this, the smart Argentine manager has been groping for a long time, and in the last ten rounds of the league, the Espanyol finally ushered in an explosion."
"With eight wins, one draw and one defeat in ten games, Pochettino's team not only managed to avoid relegation, but also jumped up to the middle of the standings in one go, and Pochettino has also won attention and recognition with his outstanding performance during this period."
"In the next two seasons, due to the overall quality of the Spaniard, Pochettino's coaching results were not excellent, but he firmly guaranteed the team to be in the middle of the table, but it was the two games against Barcelona that really showed the Argentine manager's tactical quality."
'The Camp Nou lost 0-1 and went 0-0 at home, which is Pochettino's record against Barcelona at the pinnacle of the unbeatable, and even won the affirmation of manager Pep Guardiola.
"So much so that Guardiola himself admitted that the game against Espanyol was the toughest, Pochettino was quite a good manager, and he later said that he hoped Barcelona could play the beautiful and fluid and dynamic style of football of the Spaniards."
"From Pep Guardiola's comments and Bielsa's affirmation, it is not difficult to see that Pochettino is not as mediocre as his coaching results show, on the contrary, he looks more like a young coach with no talent."
Not only did he publish such an article, but he also translated news reports from many Spanish newspapers and consulted some Spanish football insiders.
At this time, everyone quietly discovered that Pochettino was not famous, but in the Spanish football circle, the evaluation was very high, and there was even no shortage of famous coaches who regretted what he had happened in recent years, thinking that he was a very powerful manager.
Beijing Guoen also made an explanation, saying that the team's signing of Pochettino was a deliberate decision, which can be seen from Pochettino's three-year coaching contract.
'We said that once we have chosen a manager, we will not easily shake our confidence in him and Pochettino is the choice we have made now!'
With Fang Wei's resounding statement, although the controversy about Pochettino is still very big, it is already ironclad.
It was at this press conference that publicly supported Pochettino that Fang Wei once again announced the team's new progress in transfer recruitment.
