Not long ago, there was a report in French Football Magazine, which contained this sentence.
"As long as Mourinho remains unemployed, all coaches of European giants will have to worry about their jobs!"
This may seem like a joke, but it truly reflects Mourinho's current status and influence in European football.
He is truly the world's top coach, synonymous with championship and success!
Under his leadership, Chelsea became one of the top teams in Europe.
After this most awesome "laid-off worker" in the world left Stamford Bridge, almost all the wealthy teams that were dissatisfied with their coach maintained close contact with him and were striving for Mourinho's arrival.
In the words of French Football Magazine, in the past few months, in addition to receiving the sky-high "layoff subsidy" offered to him by Chelsea, Mourinho has also received a flurry of coaching invitations, such as from Ligue 1 Lyon Aulas and
Repeated invitations from Inter Milan Moratti.
But the most special one, he chose to return to Barcelona!
This piece of news quickly grabbed the attention of media and fans around the world. Everyone was surprised by this, but they also thought it was normal. They were surprised because the styles of the two were very different, but normal because, at the moment, Europe
There are actually very few famous coaches in football, and Mourinho is the top.
Barcelona Vice Chairman Bartomeu revealed in an interview with Mundo Deportivo that Mourinho promised that after coaching Barcelona, he would lead the team back to the La Liga championship and completely defeat Real Madrid.
"Not only that, he promised to lead the team back to the Champions League within three years. He will lead the team to wash away the humiliation suffered in the Champions League in the past two seasons!"
Although Bartomeu did not say it clearly, the target of the attack was undoubtedly directed at Sudong and Bayern Munich.
Everyone knows that in the past season, in the quarter-finals, Sudong and Bayern Munich bloodbathed Barcelona 9-0. This almost became the most painful defeat in Barcelona's history, and it almost shook the chairman of Rosell.
Location.
Because of this, Russell and Bartomeu had no choice and resolutely chose Mourinho.
…
"Actually, there is a lot of controversy within Barcelona. Many people, including Cruyff, are opposed to it, and there are also proposals to let Guardiola of the second team coach. You know, although Guardiola's reforms in the second team are going on
He is very good and has good results, but he has never coached the first team, so Russell is worried about him."
In Su Dong's villa in Grinwald, Germany, Mendes, who came here specially, personally told Su Dong about Mourinho's signing with Barcelona. In addition to being Su Dong's agent, he was also Mourinho's agent.
broker.
"It seems that Barcelona has made up its mind this time." Su Dong said with a smile.
Only if they are cruel to themselves will Barcelona choose to let Mourinho coach, because this goes against Barcelona's tradition.
Of course, things like tradition depend on the situation. Like Barcelona's current situation, the most important thing is to clean up the mess as soon as possible to prevent the team from losing again and again. By then, the team's morale will be dissipated and there will not be much competitiveness left.
Especially after Su Dong left, Ronaldinho, Deco, and Marcos Senna all left, which had a huge impact on Barcelona.
"What about Guardiola?" Su Dong asked with concern.
Su Dong had met this former Barcelona legend several times, but had no in-depth exchanges with him. He just felt that he was a relatively reserved person who didn't talk much, but he gave people the impression that he was very good at thinking and had information in his mind.
"Mourinho asked someone who was familiar with Barcelona's situation to join the coaching staff. Originally, Russell wanted Guardiola to go to the first team as an assistant coach, but Guardiola refused. He chose to stay in the second team, so he let
Tito Vilanova went to the first team."
Su Dong is not surprised. Guardiola does not seem to be able to submit to others. Moreover, he is a local leader born and raised in Barcelona. The football style he accepts is far different from Mourinho, and he probably cannot accept it.
"There is news that Begiristain had previously promised to let Guardiola serve as the head coach of the first team, but now it has become Mourinho. Guardiola is definitely not willing to be the assistant coach." Mendes explained.
road.
Su Dong nodded, this was also a factor.
Begiristain is the former technical director of Barcelona. He has a close relationship with Guardiola and has a good relationship with Sudong.
Begiristain and Soriano are considered to have a relatively good relationship with Sudong in the Barcelona management, but both of them are from Laporta and have now left Barcelona. The former is still unemployed for the time being, and Soriano
He was a well-paid elite, and he quickly found a job as the chairman of Iberia Airways.
As the saying goes, when Begiristan was in office, he made a promise, but after he left, it naturally became invalid.
Russell chose Mourinho to coach, obviously because of his short-term and medium-term results. He would not trust a rookie like Guardiola who has not proven himself in any practice, and this is natural.
…
Mendes came to Bayern this time not to bring news to Su Dong.
The Portuguese agent is not so free. He came here specifically to renew Su Dong's contract.
According to Su Dong's contract with Bayern, it is renewed every year. Based on the results of the previous season and the club's business performance, Su Dong has the right to decide whether to renew the contract. This is also to seize the initiative in his own hands.
In return, Su Dong's signing fee can be paid in installments.
This is also the reason why Bayern still has the energy to sign Franck Ribery and Robben after signing Sudong.
Of course, Bayern is still under some financial pressure.
"Hoeness is a stingy old guy. He told me that Bayern will strengthen targeted efforts in several positions this year, but there will be no more big-money signings because Bayern is now under great financial pressure." Mendes
It's funny about this.
Will Bayern's financial pressure be great?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is indeed a bit.
Su Dong's annual salary alone is worth the salary budget of the entire Bundesliga team in the middle and lower reaches, but the return of signing Su Dong is also very high. Su Dong played the most important role in the triple crown this past season, even in business.
In the field, Su Dong also brought huge improvement and influence to Bayern and the Bundesliga.
Not to mention anything else, the Bundesliga broadcasting rights in Asia have risen with the tide.
Not to mention that after signing Su Dong, major sponsors such as Audi have increased their sponsorship. Bayern is actually making a high-input and high-output investment, and basically makes a profit without losing money.
Su Dong is not surprised, because Bayern's current lineup does not require large-scale signings.
From the experience of Galacticos, especially Irving's embarrassing situation in Real Madrid, it is not difficult to see that the more superstars are not accumulated, the better. Good steel must be used on the blade.
Nowadays, Bayern's lineup is already very neat. The next thing to do is to recruit and strengthen some weak links, such as the substitutes of Ribery and Robben, and the position of midfielder Mascherano.
Substitute.
The most important thing is the goalkeeper.
After Kahn retired, Bayern's goalkeeper issue has attracted the attention of all parties in German football.
Leverkusen is the most nervous because there have been rumors that Bayern wants to sign Rene Adler.
The German goalkeeper nicknamed Kitty Hawk was the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga this season that just ended and was shortlisted for the best team of the season.
Adler's performance surpassed that of Neuer, and also suppressed famous players such as Lensing, Butt and Enke.
According to Bayern's past operating habits in the Bundesliga, poaching is natural.
"Henesto, let me ask, what do you think?" Mendes asked with concern.
Su Dong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I will not be involved in the transfer matter. If it is purely from a technical and tactical perspective, I still retain my previous opinions."
"Previous opinions?" Mendes didn't understand.
Su Dong smiled but didn't say anything clearly.
He has discussed this matter with the Big Three before, and the Big Three actually agree with his judgment, that is, between Adler and Neuer, Neuer has greater potential.
Adler is indeed very stable, so stable that he does not look like a 23-year-old young goalkeeper, but conversely, he is too stable and appears to be a bit too precocious, which is equivalent to saying that his potential is limited.
Neuer is one year younger than him, physically stronger and more responsive than him, but his shortcomings are obvious and he is not stable enough.
From a goalkeeper's point of view, instability is a shortcoming, but for a young man, shortcomings represent potential.
Every goalkeeper and every defender was beaten by their opponents.
There is a saying in European football circles that when great goalkeepers first debut, they usually rely on reactions and body bounce to keep goalkeepers. This is when their bodies are at their best, but they are relatively inexperienced, so they will make many mistakes.
, but will also frequently perform very magical saves.
Legendary goalkeepers such as Buffon, Casillas, Kahn, etc. were all like this when they first debuted, and Buffon was the best among them, because he was already outstanding when he was young. Not only did he make miraculous saves, but he also made mistakes.
Not much, it's very rare.
As experience accumulates and improves, as youth grows, body functions will begin to decline, and reactions and bounces will weaken. At this time, goalkeepers need to transform and change the past goalkeeping method that relies on reactions and bounces.
Buffon is a textbook at this point. He even had a period of time when his physical function and experience were at their peak.
After the transformation is successful, the goalkeeper's career can be extended for a long time. If the transformation is not successful, the goalkeeper's performance will plummet after the physical function declines.
Judging from the current performance, the performance of Adler and Neuer is actually about the same, but Neuer makes more mistakes but also makes more eye-catching saves. In comparison, Adler appears to be more stable.
Su Dong had discussed this issue with Heynckes and the Big Three before, and they all agreed that Neuer's potential would be greater.
Of course, potential exists in the future, and no one can tell how much it can be realized.
Su Dong is not willing to get too involved in Bayern's transfer, but it is related to his three-year plan, so he has to be cautious.
If you really have to choose between the two, Su Dong prefers Neuer.
He believes that Neuer's future will be even more amazing!
