Since Wang Chuqing went south to Oxford University to go through the admission procedures, Su Dong asked Manchester City to arrange a driver for him.
There is no way, even now, he still doesn't have time to take a driver's license test.
Countless times I have made up my mind, but countless times I can’t find the time.
This has become the focus of ridicule among his friends, the media and fans.
Some media even ridiculed him before. If he had one percent of his talent in driving a car on the court, Su Dong would not be in the situation he is now, and he could not even drive a car.
It’s so disrespectful!
But there's no way, I really can't drive.
…
When we arrived at Carrington, we could clearly see the smile hidden in the eyes of the staff.
Not surprising, probably the only person in Manchester City's first team who can't drive is Su Dong.
No one would really use this matter to laugh at him. They would just regard him as a small flaw in Su Dong's body, which would make him more approachable. After all, no one likes a flawless person, right?
When Su Dong walked into the locker room with his bag, he found his wardrobe easily, but what really caught his attention was not the wardrobe, but the walls of the locker room, which were covered with various tactical diagrams and movement charts.
.
Su Dong carried his bag and walked to these drawings, watching them patiently.
When he came to Carrington several times before, he also visited the locker room, but he never saw these drawings. This shows that these are just prepared by Guardiola and the coaching staff, and they are all his thoughts on Manchester City.
Tactical planning.
The drawings clearly indicate each player's tasks, running positions and passing routes, how to cooperate, how to run, where to run to receive the ball, and where to pass...
This is definitely the most detailed tactical drawing Su Dong has ever seen.
If nothing else, just drawing these drawings is a big project.
No wonder Guardiola needs so many people on his first-team coaching staff.
The tactics are so meticulously arranged, and the details are pursued for perfection. This kind of head coach Su Dong has also experienced this, that is Benitez, but the biggest difference between Guardiola and Benitez is that their philosophies
no the same.
Benitez is deeply influenced by Italian football and has defensive genes in his bones. He will always think about restraining the opponent's tactics first. Guardiola is deeply influenced by Dutch football's total attack and defense genes.
Deep down, I believe in offense.
Su Dong once met Van Gaal at UEFA and chatted with him a lot, including Guardiola.
Van Gaal also has a very good impression of Guardiola, but he believes that Guardiola is very similar to the crazy Bielsa. Both of them have a kind of paranoia in their bones, but they are completely different.
Guardiola's paranoia is that he wants his players to remain absolutely rational and calm and execute his tactics perfectly, while Bielsa is more passionate. Although he has extremely high demands on players, he is not demanding on them.
From the individual to the whole, the most interesting thing about Guardiola's team is its stability, but it lacks passion and blood.
Perhaps, Guardiola believes that his team does not need this, just like Benitez.
Bielsa's team is full of passion and blood, but lacks stability.
Specific to Manchester City last season, Van Gaal believes that Guardiola's team concept is very good and his ideas are very advanced, but he always maintains an offensive posture, even when pressing, he is full of aggression, but once forward,
When the game couldn't open up and had to adopt a defensive stance, Guardiola's team did very poorly.
To put it simply, Guardiola's team cannot defend.
"Guardiola's style of play will be very popular in the league. As long as the overall strength of the team is better than the opponent, he can basically perform to the level he deserves, and then rely on stable and excellent passing and ball control tactics.
To defeat the opponent."
"However, if it comes to a strong dialogue, or in a key game like the Champions League knockout round, the opponent is not afraid of your passing and possession, and even when their offense can force you to defend, Guardiola's deficiencies on the defensive end will be
will be exposed, that's why he needs you so urgently, because as long as you are there, can break the opponent's goal and create a threat, you can minimize the number of times you have to defend, and even the resources your opponent invests in attacking will be greatly reduced.
."
At this moment, standing in front of the wall of the locker room, Su Dong looked at the maze-like tactical drawings in front of him. He felt that his head was a little big, and he also felt that Guardiola was really, really powerful.
Of course, Van Gaal and Bielsa are also very good, especially Van Gaal.
You know, what Bielsa admires the most is Van Gaal's Ajax, and even Bielsa's 3313 formation that failed in Argentina is because he wants to imitate Van Gaal's Ajax.
It must be mentioned here that formations are purely for the convenience of ordinary people to understand and feel the team's tactics. In fact, on the court, no one will completely arrange their positions and movements according to the tactical formations.
This is the truth that soldiers have no permanent momentum and water has no permanent shape.
Van Gaal's team has three head coaches, Rijkaard, Mourinho and Guardiola, and perhaps they will appear one after another in the future. His coaching at Barcelona seems to have failed, but in fact, Su Dongping
Many people think highly of Van Gaal, which is why he was able to enter the palace for the second time.
But unfortunately, there were too many complicated factors that led to Van Gaal's unsuccessful coaching in Barcelona. In addition, his relationship with Cruyff was very bad. The two were enemies of each other, so it was difficult for Van Gaal to be in Barcelona.
Get official recognition.
…
When Su Dong finished packing his things and came out, he happened to see Guardiola, Begiristain and others talking on the sidelines of the training ground.
When they saw Su Dong, the two of them were not surprised at all.
In the past, Su Dong was the first to come to the training base. Now that he is the captain, it is normal for him to come earlier.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I heard that you have made appointments to meet with many players in the past two or three days?" Begiristain asked with concern.
Su Dong did this without hiding it from the club, and even the contact information of other players was given by Begiristain.
"I've basically seen everything I need to see," Su Dong said with a smile.
These future teammates were still showing respect. Su Dong called and invited them, and they all attended the appointment.
Due to time constraints, Su Dong was unable to invite everyone out one by one to meet individually. For the time being, he could only make appointments with important players from the first team. As for other players, they could only wait for the opportunity or communicate individually during the training camp.
"How was the chat?" Begiristan asked with concern.
Guardiola also looked at Su Dong with the same concern. He knew that the success or failure of Su Dong as captain would also have a huge impact on him. If the team could not be united again, Manchester City would take the lead in the new season.
The traditional four major families, as well as Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and other teams are fighting to the death?
"It's not bad. We talked openly and honestly, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious. Many people expressed their support for my future work in person." Su Dong said with a smile, looking confident.
From Su Dong's expression, both Begiristain and Guardiola could feel the smooth progress.
And this also surprised them.
Su Dong has never been a captain before, not even a vice-captain. It can be said that he has no experience in leading the team.
It is also because of this that Begiristan came to Carrington today specifically, just to support Su Dong.
Unexpectedly, Su Dong's series of combination punches surprised Begiristain, Guardiola and others.
Especially in recent days, he has continuously met with his teammates and actively communicated with them. This is undoubtedly a very powerful move.
Let me ask, with Su Dong’s status and influence in world football today, who can refuse him if he comes forward?
Let alone a team without superstars like Manchester City, even in Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid where superstars gather, if Su Dong comes forward, which superstar can refuse?
He is truly a born leader!
"This is just the beginning, the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. Next, I need you to cooperate with my work. You must seize the time to help me implement the application I made and do it quickly, otherwise I will promise my teammates
If the matter cannot be handled, I, the captain, will lose face." Su Dong urged.
Begiristain and Guardiola looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Nowadays, Su Dong is becoming more and more like a captain, especially when it comes to handling things.
Many people think that the management hopes that the team captain is on the side of the management, but in fact he is not.
There is a natural gap in the relationship between management and players, management and the managed.
The captain's task is to connect the two, rather than blindly favoring one side. At the same time, he must also pay attention to maintaining the unity of the locker room and integrating the team into a concerted force that can be exerted in the game.
This requires the captain to always be firmly involved with the players and become a channel for the players' demands, while also helping the management better control the locker room.
"Don't worry, I've asked them to handle the request you made, and I guarantee that I won't miss anything for you." Begiristain said with a smile.
Su Dong is also very knowledgeable and will not raise those very difficult requests at all. At this stage, he only raises some players' personal pain points but does not involve much appeal. This is a slightly more troublesome matter for Manchester City.
,A piece of cake.
"Do you have any suitable candidates for the new season's vice-captain?" Begiristain asked again.
Su Dong, as the captain, has temporarily gained a foothold, but the team still needs to have a vice-captain. Who will be chosen will definitely depend on Su Dong's opinion.
"I have basically talked with them, and I suggest that the number of vice-captains be increased from one to two, with Zabaleta and Kompany serving as vice-captains," Su Dong suggested.
Both Begiristain and Guardiola were obviously a little surprised. They had previously speculated that Su Dong must also want to grab the vice-captain in his hands to further consolidate his authority as captain. The most suitable candidate is David Silva.
Even Pepe.
Didn't expect he would propose Zabaleta and Kompany.
