Since learning that Wan Sheng came to Madrid to coach Atletico Madrid, Pepe's heart has become very conflicted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If he had the choice, he would have played under Wansheng, but he was part of Real Madrid, and he played well for two years at Real Madrid, and he was an absolute mainstay of the team and had a lot of support.

A lot of stars are very affectionate with the team and the mentors who are famous, but it's hard for them to stay with that team, and it's even harder to play under the same manager all the time.

In European football, it is normal for Pepe to leave Manchester City for Real Madrid, and then become mortal enemies with Wansheng's team.

He's not a traitor.

Even so, Pepe still wants to be in Wansheng's team because he has great trust in Wansheng and feels like home in Wansheng's team, not Real Madrid - it's a big club, it's just where he works.

After three years at Manchester City, Pepe also has a deep affection for his teammates such as Morris and Mesut Ozil, while in the two years at Real Madrid, he didn't even make a close friend.

That's the difference.

However, Pepe knew that he could not leave Real Madrid directly and follow his mentor to the arch-rival Atletico Madrid, and he was no longer the little-known player he was at the beginning.

Pepe is already a star, a big star, and the main central defender of the century's giants Real Madrid.

Pepe has signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid, and now it is only two and a half years after he must fulfill his contract or leave through a formal transfer.

This winter, it's completely impossible.

Even if Atletico Madrid are willing to pay him a large liquidated damages, he will not be able to leave in the winter, which will be a stain on his life, so he wants to leave, at least until the summer transfer.

This is also where Pepe feels conflicted.

In addition, Pepe is not sure if Atletico Madrid needs him, even though he was once Manchester City's main centre-back, and now he is Real Madrid's main centre-back...... So what? Maybe others don't know, but he knows that Wansheng has never lacked players who have performed well, and he is just one of them.

So when he learned that Wan Sheng had invited him to spend Christmas with him, Pepe was so happy that he told his wife Isabel the news.

"You're going to the Atletico manager's Christmas dinner?" Isabel was taken aback.

"Of course, what's wrong?"

"But you're a Real Madrid player now, Kopelle." Isabel said with some concern, "I know you have always wanted to return to the team of 10,000 wins, but you are now a Real Madrid player, you should not do this, those media will not let you go." ”

"Don't let it go?" Pepe said indifferently, "I don't care what they say, the boss once said that as long as there is a victory, it doesn't matter, for me, as long as you perform well, it doesn't matter." ”

"Are you thinking about leaving Real Madrid? Going to Atletico Madrid? ”

"Not now, at least until the summer."

"You're crazy!" Isabel said, "You're at Real Madrid, a real giant, you're getting a higher salary, you're getting honours in this kind of team. ”

"No!" Pepe interrupted Isabel and affirmed, "The boss is in charge of Atletico Madrid. Do you understand? As long as the boss is in Spain, I believe that the league champion, or any other champion, will belong to the boss, and Real Madrid? What do Jose Mourinho's teams get? ”

"Are you convinced?"

"I'm sure." Pepe said, "Look at Manchester City, how many titles the boss won when he was in charge, Manchester City at that time was not as good as Atletico Madrid now, and Manchester City did it. It's the same in Spain now, I believe that the future can only be successful at Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid? As soon as the boss came, they had no hope. ”

Pepe's confident tone persuaded Isabel, so the two came to the Christmas dinner together, and even when a media reporter photographed the two walking into Wansheng's house, they did not hide it.

Seeing Pepe, Wansheng was very happy.

It was just a Christmas Eve dinner, but it was still meaningful, Pepe's arrival showed that he hadn't forgotten himself, and what Wan Sheng said in the media was true - he did want to get Pepe.

It is not easy to find a powerful central defender in world football, Pepe is one of the best, not to mention, he used to be his own player, so Wansheng very much hopes to get Pepe.

Wan Sheng also knows that a winter transfer is impossible, but next summer the team also needs to replenish the backline, Pepe is the best choice, Pepe is the best choice, as soon as Pepe appears, it is equivalent to finalizing a summer recruitment, which is still very happy.

From a personal point of view, Wan Sheng and Pepe also have a good relationship.

The two are also mentors and friends.

Once a Manchester City player and coach, now in Madrid, playing for two rival teams and being able to sit together for Christmas, Wan Sheng is deeply happy that time has changed.

Everyone toasted and laughed all night.

For the next week, the whole of Madrid is in the spirit of Christmas, with all kinds of festivities to get vaccinated.

Although it was a holiday time, as a famous coach in European football, Wan Sheng's life was still very busy, he had to attend one party after another, he was also invited to attend an award ceremony, and the club organized a charity donation event.

At the end of December, Wan Sheng went to a drinking party organized by the Spanish Football Federation.

It is a tradition for the Spanish Football Federation to organize a cocktail party, every winter break, the Spanish Football Federation at all levels of the Spanish league truce, the Spanish Football Federation will find a day to organize the coaches of La Liga and La B, and invite some football celebrities to have a party, in the reception, talk about some topics such as the development of Spanish football, the future of football, youth football training and so on.

It was not the first time Wan Sheng had attended such a party, he had attended it more than once when he was in England.

It is a platform for people involved in football to communicate.

The reception was held in Madrid, and Wan Sheng didn't need to prepare anything, and when the time came, he showed up at the venue with Anita.

In addition to the various coaches and celebrities in the venue, there are also some reporters who come to interview, but according to some default rules, the venue is not allowed to take pictures, that is to say, what happens here, media reporters can only report in writing, and no photos will appear, so there are always some things happening at the drinking party, such as Pep Guardiola, who was the coach of Barcelona last year, and Pellegrini who was the coach of Real Madrid at the time, but it was just a joke in the media.

"Today's topic of discussion is the ...... of youth football development in Spain"

The president of the Spanish Football Federation, Villa, came to the stage and talked, which was basically some official words, "...... The development of football must pay attention to the cultivation of youth football, but how to cultivate youth football, so far there is no conclusion, free South Americans, strict Germans, old-fashioned English, each country and region, the way of youth football training is different, but no matter which way, can produce some very outstanding players......"

After saying a lot of things, Vera raised her glass, "...... Let's toast to this year's Spanish football! ”

After that, everyone started talking to each other.

Most of the people who came to the reception were the heads of various teams, and the non-head coaches were also some football celebrities, such as former Real Madrid star Hierro, and Barcelona's godfather Cruyff, but the various 'factions' are still distinct, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has a lot of people around him, and he is a representative of Spanish coaches.

Wan Sheng stood with Jose Mourinho.

The two are mortal enemies, real mortal enemies, in England they are rivals, and now in Madrid, both teams are mortal enemies, but on this occasion the two are in the same camp because they are not Spanish coaches.

In the Spanish league, the proportion of local coaches is very large, such as this season's La Liga, 15 of the 20 teams have managers who are Spaniards, and Spaniards are also very xenophobic.

Wan Sheng and Mourinho both had cold faces and didn't even bother to look at each other, but Anita quickly chatted with Mourinho's wife, Mathilde Faria, and women always have a lot in common.

Wan Sheng and Mourinho both drank alone with their wine glasses, and the awkward atmosphere lasted for a while, but Wan Sheng opened his mouth first, "Jose, can I call you that?" Have you ever considered letting Ronaldo go? That's not a good guy. ”

Mourinho almost squirted out a sip of wine, he turned his head in annoyance and asked, "Will you sell Ozil to Real Madrid?" ”

"Of course not."

"So Ronaldo is destined to be my player."

Mr. Florentino certainly didn't think so. I've heard that your position at Real Madrid is unstable, and if you leave Madrid one day, I will definitely send my blessings. ”

"Don't be complacent, the league is still long!"

Wan Sheng smiled slightly, "Yes, but I have to wait, you can't afford to wait." ”

Mourinho was very annoyed, he found that standing with this Chinese is really not a good choice, he turned his head and glanced at his wife, found that his wife was chatting happily with Anita, so he could only stand sullenly in place and said to Wan Sheng, "I firmly believe that I can succeed in Madrid." ”

'I also firmly believe that in England it was me who won and in Madrid as well.

Mourinho gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola stepped onto the rostrum and made a speech about Barcelona's youth training, "...... We prefer to give young players the freedom to develop rather than stifle their creativity with a box-based approach......"

“…… Messi was successful in the Barcelona Academy, he is one of the best players in world football, he always made mistakes in his movements when he started with the first team, but after a short period of time he has already grown......

Pep Guardiola's views are still very representative, and some people who hold extreme views even believe that the professional league should also give players more freedom so that they can play better.

Pep Guardiola also touched on a number of aspects, emphasizing the relationship between tactics and player play in the professional league, and his basic argument is that Barcelona's current style of play is basically within a preconceived tactical framework, allowing players to cooperate and play freely.

Wan Sheng and Mourinho shook their heads when they listened.

Both men have different tactical philosophies from Pep Guardiola, and there are many places where they are not used, with Mourinho putting more emphasis on defence, or rather, he is advocating victory.

Wan Sheng emphasizes rigor, he puts the tactical details to the running of players in each position, in Wan Sheng's view, it is not meaningful to let players play freely, you can't always rely on the star to play to win, so on the basis of the player's ability, to build a tactical system that is enough for them to play, so that each player becomes a component of the tactical system, when the whole system runs, the team can perform the best.

So when Wan Sheng came to power, he directly refuted Guardiola's remarks and said, "I think Spanish football, freedom is enough, and what is more needed is rigor." ”

"The Germans are very strict, so their football is always improving, and the cultivation of youth football must also instill tactical concepts in them, otherwise they will most of them only be street football jugglers."

"The tactics of professional football need to be more rigorous, down to every run, in order to make the whole team run at high speed......"

Wan Sheng's statement caused a huge discussion.

Most people are dismissive of this, and the reason they can come up with is simple - Barcelona are six-time champions, the best team in European football today, and even 'none of them', and Spain are the World Cup champions this year.

Barcelona and Spain are based on what Pep Guardiola calls tactical philosophies, and they both won the title.

As for rigor?

German football has never been a champion.

In the face of many doubts, Wan Sheng only said, "I will use the brilliance of Atletico Madrid to prove what I said!" ”

When Wan Sheng walked off the stage, almost everyone looked at him, the venue was silent, Cruyff and Vera looked at each other and sighed, "This is really a young man with character!" (To be continued.) )
