Golden Greenery

If you want to be a successful head coach, you cannot be stubborn or even self-willed. People who always like to compromise will never be able to control these young and frivolous multi-millionaires. Good old guys like Carlo Ancelotti are just contrasting words in the media. No matter what industry a real good guy is in, he will become a mediocre person at best. Even if he is a cleaner, he will not be the one who sweeps cleanest and wipes the fastest. .

Strong character and persistence are the basic qualities to become a head coach, although everyone shows it in different ways. Guardiola has a strong personality. He likes to control every detail in his field. If possible, he even wants to stipulate the number of breaths per day for each player under his command.

Such a controlling personality can even create the illusion that players are his own children and his own private property. Therefore, Guardiola is actually a very protective person. Because of protecting his shortcomings, Guardiola almost got into a fight with the opponent's head coach after a desired victory.

Things have to start with the last Champions League group match, a home victory over Copenhagen, Denmark. In that 3:0 victory, there is no dispute about the strength and weakness based on the score, but the whistle of Pinto, who replaced Valdez in the starting lineup, really hit the morale of Copenhagen. If you have to make excuses and regard this scene as the decisive factor in the game, it is not impossible.

After the game, UEFA imposed a two-match ban on Jose Pinto. Originally, the matter ended there, but Copenhagen head coach Staller Solbakken was obviously unwilling to do so. He believed that Barcelona was using unfair competition. The victory was stolen by means, and after the game he was filled with righteous indignation and suggested that Barcelona should lose 0:3. This was too much. He clearly couldn't afford to lose, and no one from top to bottom paid attention to him.

Solbakken saw that he was asking for trouble, so he thought it was fair and proposed a rematch. I really don't know whether he was pretending not to understand the rules or really wanted to gain popularity. Naturally, no one ignored this suggestion, and the Barcelona people didn't even bother to talk to him.

Next, Solbakken strongly criticized Pinto in the newspaper, calling Pinto a "mouldy rotten apple". You know, Europeans have a very poor vocabulary when it comes to swearing. Basically, it’s very vicious if you say it this way. It’s similar to how Chinese people curse their ancestors for eighteen generations, not to mention publicly in the media.

Solbakken believes that a two-game suspension is too little. At least it should start with ten games. It is best to be banned for two years and a lifetime ban to show justice.

The Barcelona people got an advantage and behaved well, as long as they got a real victory. If you don't feel tired, just scream, we won't talk back. But Guardiola was quite unhappy. Is it unfair that my team beat you 3:0 at home? Why are you so reluctant?

Solbakken's complaints continued until the fourth matchday of the Champions League group stage, when Barcelona returned to Copenhagen. Because Barcelona has won three consecutive games before, if Barcelona wins this game, it will determine the first place in the group two rounds in advance.

In the first half, Copenhagen put up a very effective resistance for half an hour.

And the restrictions and counterattacks were done in a methodical manner. But in the 30th minute of the game, when Mikael Antonson cleared Xavi's cross, he made a mistake under Villa's pressure. Messi missed the ball and scored with a volley.

Copenhagen was not a bad team at home either. After just three minutes, they launched an efficient counterattack. The famous player Glenchard broke through and passed from the left. Copenhagen fired three arrows in front of the goal. Finally, Brazilian Claudemir volleyed into the far corner. After scoring, the score became 1:1.

According to Guardiola's newly realized tactical changes, Zhuoyang was once again pulled back to the midfield at the beginning of the second half, and Barcelona changed to a 4-4-2 formation. This is a method that Guardiola has figured out to deal with the "pseudo-Muslim restrictions". Since the last game against Sevilla, the team has been able to use this change very well in training these days.

The key point of this change is Zhuoyang. After his whole body moved with one shot, Barcelona's midfielder and frontcourt almost made a huge shift because of his change in position. After the changes were made, Zhuoyang, who was on the left, became the de facto center of operation. This change itself is based on Zhuoyang's super connection and coping abilities, coupled with his large-scale unreasonable disruption, as well as his powerful midfield blocking and dispatching control, which makes Barcelona unique.

But it is not possible to let Zhuo Yang stand in the midfield as soon as the game starts. The change of formation is about the word "odd", which means to catch the opponent off guard. It is not the genuine "Mu's Restriction" after all. The adaptability will inevitably be insufficient. Only changes in the middle can make a difference. to the best effect.

If it were so easy to learn the 'Mu's Restriction', wouldn't everyone be like Mourinho?

In the 60th minute, Zhuoyang used the cross-position change with Xiaobu to break through Copenhagen's ribs, attracting the defense to deflect and then sent Villa an open ball. Calabash's furious shooting was quite exaggerated.

The score of 2:1 is a true reflection of the strength of both sides in the Copenhagen Park Stadium. Barcelona has a slight advantage overall, but they have a huge disadvantage in height. The Nordic people are leading in the world in physique.

In the remaining time, Barcelona used offense instead of defense, using technical difficulties to compete with the height of Copenhagen, while Copenhagen used frequent fouls to block Barcelona's pervasive passing. After the game, both sides felt it was not easy.

After the four rounds of the group, looking at the entire process, Barcelona's performance was extremely exciting. They scored 12 points in four consecutive victories and were already confirmed to be first in the group. Everyone was very happy to have successfully achieved the strategic goal of the Champions League group. Even Zhuo Yang and Keita, who were elbowed by Costa Rican Bolaños during the game, did not care.

Of course, Valdez's iron knee almost knocked Ndoye to death when he confiscated the cross, which was also a psychological balancing factor for everyone to feel that they were not at a disadvantage. But Guardiola broke out like a psycho.

Perhaps he was finally convinced by the strength of Barcelona. Perhaps it was because in another match in the same group, Panathinaikos played against Kazan Rubin again and tied 0:0 with two points. Although they lost, they still scored 6 points. Copenhagen's second place in the group is still very solid, and head coach Solbakken's mentality is much calmer.

When the game ended and he walked off the field, Solbakken was like a fickle fox. After catching up with Guardiola in two steps, he put his arm around Guardiola's shoulders very affectionately.

"Congratulations, Pep. You have a great team."

"It's okay, my performance today is average." Gua Shuai shook his shoulders, his body language expressed his displeasure with the hand on his shoulder, and his words revealed disdain and flaunting his wealth.

Head coaches are all strong people, and Solbakken is no exception. Guardiola was so disgusted and arrogant that it made him a little embarrassed. Originally, he approached this conversation with the high attitude of a tolerant person, but instead he was hot-faced but cold-hearted.

Solbakken withdrew his arms pretending to be affectionate. "You said it was unnatural to win your last game. This must be the truth, right?"

This is the time to fall out.
