Coaching career started as a college team coach

Guardiola was silent for a while.

"Not as good as me." Guardiola said frankly.

Motta rolled his eyes. If this Wei Le is worse than Guardiola in his 20s, then the football world will really change.

"To be honest, he is still in the stage of adapting to different situations. There are often systemic changes, including the way of pressing in the off-ball phase. He has been changing basically. I think this is because he has not formed his own ideas."

"Also, he lacks experience. His on-the-spot adjustments sometimes look chaotic and lack flexibility."

"He has not found what kind of football he wants to play. When he encounters a strong team, he will defend and counterattack. When he encounters a weak team, he will press high. There are some rules, but not many. In the end, he still has not formed his own set of methodologies."

"He will suffer."

Guardiola's impolite statement made Thiago Motta look serious.

"But even if it's 'serving different players to different dishes', he has done better than many people." Guardiola changed the subject, "He has at least made some tactical adjustments, and what I value most is his transformation of Rodri. Now Rodri has really become an all-around midfielder."

"In addition, his consistent philosophy is actually full attack, full defense, and quick counterattack. He thinks that ineffective control of the ball is useless, and it is best to tear the opponent's defense in a simple way."

"Such a way of thinking also well narrows the gap between his players' personal abilities and understanding of football, which is good, I think."

Tiago Motta asked some more questions, but Guardiola was still Wei Le's opponent after all. Although there was some communication and communication off the court, he would never talk about tactics and confidential team operations.

Therefore, Guardiola's statement was more from his perspective. He was actually full of curiosity about Wolves, especially his hunch that this would be an opponent that might threaten his team in the future.

When Guardiola didn't know the details, he honestly said he didn't know, but this made Thiago Motta more curious about the team.

"What you said, I want to go to Wolves to learn!" Thiago Motta said honestly, he was indeed tempted, but he was still hesitant.

"Then if you can really go in to learn, I'll rely on you to answer my questions."

"Want me to be an undercover?" Thiago Motta opened his mouth wide, is modern football so dirty?

Guardiola smiled, "How can it be an undercover? It's just sharing learning experience. Don't you have to coach alone in the end?"

It makes sense, Motta thought about it.

"Youth team coaches have their own advantages, but you need to pay attention to one thing, that is, the tactics of the youth team, especially those above U19, are subject to the tactics of the team's first team. Generally speaking, the team's youth team should make corresponding adjustments to the tactical formation of the team's first team."

"The goal is to allow each youth training player to adapt to his position after being promoted." Guardiola reminded this point, "Therefore, if you want to play your own tactical experiments in the youth team, to be honest, it is difficult."

Motta nodded, he also considered this point, and Guardiola's reminder made Thiago Motta confirm this information. He still had the illusion that the management of Paris Saint-Germain would allow him to independently control the U19.

"Unlikely." Guardiola shook his head. "You are indeed important, but in the final analysis, when you become the head coach of the U19 team, you are just a member of the team's coaching team."

"As a member of the coaching team, go to other teams to learn for a period of time, or be an assistant coach or something, and then come out to coach alone. I think this is a safer way."

Thiago Motta has his own tactical ideas. When he was playing football, he thought about the tactical play. He wanted to design a set of "epoch-making" football tactics.

Now there are clues.

But this tactic is very different and can be called advanced. Even the radical Guardiola shook his head when he saw it, just because Thiago Motta wanted to directly bring the goalkeeper to the midfield line to participate in the ball!

"Maybe you will be welcomed in academia, and those old people will like your new concept very much, but the management of Paris Saint-Germain, they seem to be very positive, but they will only tend to be conservative when doing things."

"Think about it again, this is just my suggestion."

Thiago Motta thanked him and hung up the phone. As soon as he hung up the phone, he saw Angela glaring at him. Mota's heart tightened, it was bad!

"No, dear, I know I'm a little noisy, but this is because..." Motta saw a pillow flying towards his face, "Hey, don't hit it!"

After laughing and joking with his wife, Thiago Motta began to think about the result of the chat with Guardiola just now. If he hadn't talked with Guardiola, he would probably choose to be the head coach of the youth team in Paris Saint-Germain after hesitation.

He knew that his tactics would be restricted by the first team, but he felt that he should be able to fight for a lot of tactical autonomy and should be able to convince the team's management.

But now it seems that this is not the case. The position of the team management is always based on the operation of the team. Now he is the captain of Paris Saint-Germain, an important member and meritorious member of the team, but this is only now.

If in the future, he really becomes the head coach of the U19, he is just Just a coach. Since his profession is coaching, his previous honors as a player will no longer be referenced.

Paris Saint-Germain is a team moving forward.

I'm afraid he won't get support.

Thiago Motta was silent for a while. After all, the season is still going on. He is still a player now, so he is not in a hurry to make a decision. What he has to do now is to see how well this so-called Wolves team plays to be so highly praised by Guardiola.

It's out of control.

That night, sleeping in the same bed. Thiago Motta tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He noticed that his wife beside him didn't seem to be asleep either, so he asked tentatively, "Angela, what is your impression of Britain?"

Angela didn't reply for a while. Motta thought his wife was asleep, so he sighed and turned over.

But he didn't expect his wife to speak.

"Are you going to Britain?"

"I'm not, I'm just... I'm just thinking about the future. You know, I must be a coach, but where to start is a problem. My mind is a little confused..." Motta's voice was a little confused.

"Why don't you tell me your thoughts?" Angela sat up and turned on the desk lamp.

Motta looked at his wife with some gratitude, and he said, "Today, I talked to my old teammate Guardiola on the phone..."
