It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 17 Learning from Mourinho

The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Everyone in Barcelona rushed off the field in a hurry, "Coach, how is Charles?"

Guardiola shook his head.

Busquets turned pale with fear, "Is he okay?"

"Coach, tell me! Is he okay?"

Vilanova stood between the players and Guardiola. "Charles has gone to the hospital for surgery. He will be fine in two to three weeks."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Puyol suddenly remembered something. "Will there be any sequelae? Charles didn't run much today. He looked exhausted and his energy reserves were insufficient. This is most likely a sequelae of the tomato allergy last time."

"Alas," Guardiola sighed, "I am worried about this too, although Pruna said it would not have any impact."

After that, he clapped his hands again, "If you are worried, just go to the hospital to see him. I think he is a little sad too, comfort him. I also have to go to the post-match press conference."

Charles watched the post-match press conference on the hospital's television.

I have to say that Guagua's level in the field of hermaphrodites has improved by leaps and bounds.

Just like a reporter asked him what he thought about the game.

He said expressionlessly: "The team played very well in the first half, and did well in every link, but after Charles left the field, it was completely different. We seemed to be a little lost."

"The opponent scored two goals in a row to tie the score at 2-2, which was unacceptable to Barcelona. Fortunately, the core players had a flash of inspiration at the last minute and we turned the game around. The team played with passion today."

"Of course there are many things we can learn from this game, and it will be a good lesson for our future games."

"This reminds us that we should be careful of our opponents in any situation."

Some reporters also stirred up trouble and questioned Charles' performance on the field today.

"Pep, Charles has been hospitalized twice in less than two weeks after being brought in by Barcelona. Does this mean that Barcelona has made the wrong choice of players or failed to recruit players?"

Guardiola didn't even bother to roll his eyes. "From a football perspective, I think Charles' injury is Barcelona's biggest loss. Not only because Charles was in the best form among Barcelona's midfielders (before the injury), but also because his characteristics can directly affect Barcelona's offensive mode."

"He was admitted to the hospital twice. The first time was an accident, and the second time was also an accident. Although both times were due to Ciel's carelessness, it is obvious that the second accident was more caused by the opponent."

"Charles is Barcelona's most successful signing, there is no doubt about that."

……

After returning to Barcelona, ​​Puyol rushed to the hospital.

Xavi and Messi are going to attend the FIFA World Player of the Year awards ceremony.

When he opened the door, he found Charles lying on the hospital bed watching TV.

"Charles was hospitalized twice in less than half a month. It's hard not to suspect that he is a glass man, or even a bubble man."

"From Benedikt's performance, Charles is indeed like a god descending from heaven, but is his beauty just like a bubble, an illusion that will burst with a poke?"

"From today's match between Barcelona and Osasuna, although Charles assisted a goal, he moved very little on the field and looked as slow as an 80-year-old lady."

"Although Guardiola has strongly denied that Charles' strength may have declined, judging from his expression when he fell on the field today, his injury is not as serious as Guardiola said, and can be solved by resting for two to three weeks."

"Perhaps this injury will soon burst the bubble of Charles. He may become the next Overmars."

"Overmars moved to Barcelona in the summer of 2000. In order to get him, Barcelona paid a transfer fee of 4000 million euros, which was second only to Zidane and Figo at the time. "But in the four years he played for the team, he only scored 4 goals. At the age of 19, he chose to retire..."

Puyol found the remote control and quickly changed the channel.

"Charles, don't watch these TV shows. This Spanish Channel 6 is all about attracting attention..."

Charles smiled nonchalantly, and even thanked Spanish Channel 6 for the advice. "Captain, do you want some apples? The nurse in the fruit basket has already washed them for you."

Puyol didn't know what to say when he saw Charles' smile.

Pep also said that he would ask his players to give Charles some advice.

But when facing his teammates, he was unwilling to show his wounds, and even kept reading the news in the media that said bad things about him.

What a sadness this is.

Puyol took two apples from the basket, one for himself and one for Charles.

……

Jacques soon arrived from Benedetto.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, he rushed here from Benedok twice, and the reasons were almost the same, all because - that little bastard Charles was in the hospital again!

After finishing various formalities, Jacques hurried into the ward.

At this time, Puyol, who had been chatting with Charles for a while, also walked out of the ward.

The two sides nodded to each other.

Jacques also went in to see how badly the little bastard was injured.

……

The operation was arranged quickly, and on the third day after the operation, Charles was discharged from the hospital and went home to rest.

After returning home, Charles began to study "The Biography of Mourinho".

Yes, although Mourinho is only 46 years old and is still a "young coach" among coaches, as a young head coach who has won the Champions League, there are many people willing to write his biography.

Charles bought two copies of "Mourinho's Biography" written by different authors in one go.

Mourinho's early playing career was very similar to Charles'.

His father was in that team, Mourinho played in that team.

In the 1982-83 season, Mourinho was also cleared out of the club because his father was fired at the end of the season.

Unlike Jacques who quickly found a new job within three months, Mourinho's father was unemployed for 11 years.

Without his protective umbrella, Mourinho couldn't even make it to the second-tier league.

In the following period, unlike Charlton, which avoided many years of detours and dived directly into the fourth-tier league, Mourinho moved towards the fourth-tier league step by step.

The subsequent plot development is completely different.

With the help of the Burmese system, Charles' life trajectory took a sharp turn and he joined Barcelona to live a life of luxury.

Mourinho chose to retire, take coaching courses, and step by step reached the pinnacle of football coaching.
