Golden Greenery

Chapter 345 Manchester City’s Four King Kongs

Arsene Wenger is old, but he is now almost the only coach among the hard-core coaches who is still active on the front line.

Sir Alex Ferguson, Eunuch Haigong, Heathfield and Vicente del Bosque, who were contemporaries of Wenger, have retired. Lippi, Capello and Big Phil are still playing their part in China, while Hiddink and Van Gaal are in semi-retirement.

But if Wenger does not retreat, Ancelotti and others who are a generation behind them will not be called old coaches.

In fact, An Pang's generation of coaches is also very old. Rijkaard has already retired and returned to his hometown, and Pei Gong is also helping poverty in China. Benitez just signed with Newcastle United in the English Championship this month, with the goal of avoiding relegation. Loew, Koeman and Sarri are okay now.

Only talking about famous coaches, rich resume and championship honors are indispensable, and the rest is ignored.

Precisely because they are still young, from Mourinho to Zidane, a group of celebrities who are ten years apart but actually lead the football world are still shamelessly called "young coaches".

Mu Niao, Mancini, Uncle Zha, Lao Gua, Bandit Shuai, Kong Erluzi, Uncle Juan, Enrique, Deschamps, Qi Zu, these are considered to be successful and famous. Bald He and Uncle Bo, including Sforza, Amelie, Miha, DeBoer, Hassen and others, all still need to further prove themselves.

As for the real young people in today's football world, Cavanaro, Ba Ye, Jiu Ye, Lao Xi'er, Jiu Ye's brother, Xiao Fei, these people are just raw melons and eggs, and they have a long way to go in their green years.

The two Bundesliga coaches born in the 1980s, Huo Cun's Nagelsmann and Madiburg's Marcus Carlisle, are as young as chickens.

Leading the trend and dominating the football world, the eldest Mu Niao Shao Shao among the ‘Young Strong Faction’ was shameless. After all, his head was already stained with frost, and the youngest Qi Zu had also been bald for half his life. But as long as Wenger stays put, this group of bullies can continue to act young.

This season, Lao Gua, Mu Niao, Uncle Zha, Kong Erlunzi, and Uncle Bo gathered in the Premier League and became the BIG. Uncle Bo is a little more low-key. Gua Mu and Zha Leng are undoubtedly the four most topical players among the young players. According to the media The limelight far overshadowed Enrique, the leader of La Liga.

The most eye-catching ones must be the 'lifelong enemies' 'Gua Mu Xiang Kan' and the 'Gua Zha Hui' who have the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two Bundesliga heroes in the past. Every confrontation will attract the attention of global football.

But it is also interesting to say that Guardiola and Conte, who are both famous players and coaches, have become direct rivals for the first time this season.

When I was a player, I was in Barcelona and I was in Juventus. There were few confrontations between the two teams in those years, mainly because Barcelona did not live up to expectations. When they met by chance, they were either short of melons or not. When Gua Serie A was playing with Baggio,

Lengzai Juventus has also become a corner, missing the league for a while in two years.

As for the national team, neither player is a big player, they are just mediocre, and they get injured during major competitions, so it is normal for them to miss performances.

When playing football, I couldn't reach the melon. But when I became a coach, I turned over and I couldn't reach the melon. It wasn't until 201 that they coincidentally landed in the Premier League, and they couldn't escape the fight. At this time, Gua's head of hair turned into a vulture, and the boy who had been bald for a long time now had a head full of hair.

In December last year, in the 14th round of the Premier League, Manchester City played against Chelsea at the City Stadium, which was the first encounter in their lives. In that game, with Zhuo Yang scoring twice as a substitute, Manchester City tenaciously tied Chelsea 3:3 under extremely unfavorable circumstances.

On that day, Lao Gua and Kong Erluzi didn't have much interaction. Before and after the game, they were just programmed greetings. There was nothing interesting. Everything was just a competition.

But five months later, the two sides gathered at Stamford Bridge again, and Lao Gua and Er Lengzi suddenly had a violent conflict, and it was before the game.

This matter has to start with Lao Gua's coaching staff.

Guardiola's coaching staff at Manchester City consists of sixteen people. This is a must for a famous coach and a necessary first-line team for a top club.

Arteta is actually not Lao Gua's core team. He is actually a trainee assistant with a student nature, who listens more and talks less and does errands frequently. It's just that because he just retired and was fairly well-known as a player, he gets a little more attention.

Guashuai's real core team is known as the Four King Kong. Chief assistant coach Domenech Torrent has been assisting Lao Gua since he started in the Barcelona B team and has followed him all the way. For ten years now, he is Lao Gua's most trusted person.

Fitness coach Lorenzo Buenaventura was one of Guardiola's most critical appointments at Barcelona that year. Barcelona has transformed from the laxity of the Rijkaard era into a high-intensity high-pressing machine and TiKi-TaKa, and this buddy is indispensable.

Video analyst Carles Planjot has been serving the Barcelona first team during the Frank Rijkaard era. He is very professional and dedicated. He provides essential tactical video lessons for Manchester City players.

These three have followed Guardiola from Barcelona to Bayern to Manchester City, and they belong to Guardiola's private team.

Assistant coach Rodolfo Borrell also comes from Barcelona. He was Messi's first coach at La Masia. He also trained players such as Xiaobai, Xiaobu, Saber and Xiaofa in the Barcelona B team. Diola's previous B team coach at Barcelona.

Borrell went to Liverpool to assist Benitez in 2008, and came to Manchester City as the technical director of the youth training in 2014. After Guardiola arrived, he forced him to join the first team. The two have a very close personal relationship. Borrell is now in charge of Manchester City's daily training.

These four are known as the "Four King Kongs" of the Manchester City coaching staff, and they are also the confidants of Pep Guardiola. The others are more of Manchester City staff. Whoever becomes the head coach will serve them the same, and they have served for a long time. , even older than Mancini. But everyone worked well together and the atmosphere in the Manchester City team was very harmonious.

The 48-year-old masseur Mark Sertori is also a member of Manchester City's coaching staff, and he has considerable qualifications. Sertori has no player experience. He came from a professional class at the Sports Academy of the University of Turin and was promoted by the famous coach Capello in his debut.

When Kashuai coached the England national team in those years, he recruited Sertori to assist him, and he has become famous in English football since then. After Kashuai dismissed get out of class, he served for Bolton and Newcastle before coming to Manchester City the year before last.

When they were in college, Sertori and Paolo Bertelli were classmates, but not in the same major. There were some shitty things when he was young, and it’s hard to say who was right and who was wrong, but it is said that Sertori later used his personal relationship with Capello to set up many obstacles for Bertelli’s career development, and the two became enemies. Very solid.

Bertelli is now Chelsea's physical fitness coach. It was Kong Erluzi who first promoted him. From then on, whenever Conte has a move, Bertelli will definitely come, regardless of whether Juventus entered Stamford Bridge together last year.

Things are often very boring, and a small friction between two little people can easily lead to a conflict between big people.

Before the game, Sertori and Bertelli met unexpectedly in the tunnel at Stamford Bridge. Bertelli rolled his eyes at Sertori, who opened his mouth and cursed: "Idiot!"
