It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 173 Chapter 171 I told you to increase the intensity, not to increase the scale (daily transition)

12 month 12 number.

After breakfast, Charles boarded the plane to Barcelona again.

During this period, Barcelona played a game every three days on average, and all of them were away games.

Barcelona just played away against Deportivo La Coruna on December 12th, and just four days later, they will go to Kiev to play in the Champions League.

Given the intensity of the match, Charles felt that if he hadn't erected the barrier to protect Barcelona, ​​who knows how many people in Barcelona would have to take early holidays like Charles.

Charles had just returned to Barcelona's training base, and Vilanova called him over with a smile.

"The team doctor said you've fully recovered now. How have you been these past few days?"

"Not bad," Charles easily stopped the ball thrown by Vilanova.

There is nothing more joyful than taking a vacation.

After the World Cup qualifiers, the national team now only has friendly matches and warm-up matches left.

Although the opponent is rich, they are not strong, so Charles will not be called up for some time in the future.

The most important thing is to stay away from Barcelona’s cafeteria. For Charles, it is like a bicycle losing its swim bladder.

"That's good."

Vilanova said seductively.

"Tomorrow we will play against Espanyol at home. Pep is looking at the burgers in the cafeteria. Do you want to try one now?"

Charles had one foot on the ball and almost fell down when he heard Vilanova's words.

"Let's first discuss the coaching competition that day."

The smile on Vilanova's face froze in an instant.

"The competition is tomorrow, this isn't very appropriate..."

"It's suitable," the smile on Vilanova's face did not disappear, but just shifted to Charles' face.

"I'll go call Pep over now, coach, wait for me here!"

After saying that, Charles turned around and ran towards the Barcelona restaurant, leaving Vilanova alone standing there stunned.

Soon, Guardiola was called out of the cafeteria by Charles. Just as the two walked to the training ground, other Barcelona players also came out of the locker room one after another.

"Charles, you're back," Henry waved happily.

Puyol warmed up on the field. "What good stuff did you bring back from France? I saw a big bag on your seat."

Before Charles could answer, Abidal squeezed out from behind Henry.

"I don't know what Charles brought, but I know what I brought today - 26 Pepe injury reports!"

Pique widened his eyes and quietly turned his head to look at Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic also noticed the gazes on him and snorted in disdain.

"This is not what Zlatan did, Fiat doesn't deserve Ferrari to do something like this."

Charles never thought that he was just recuperating in France for a while and Pepe had been discharged from the hospital before he left. How come Pepe's injuries were even more serious after he came back?
Abidal glanced at Guardiola, who was still discussing something with Vilanova.

"It seems like another internal conflict in the Real Madrid dressing room."

Abidal said in a low voice.

At the same time, all the Barcelona players gathered together.

"How to say?"

"Because in the past month and a half, Raul has only started in two Copa del Rey matches against third-tier teams. In the match between Real Madrid and Almeria last weekend, he spent half the game warming up on the sidelines and did not play."

"Then the former Real Madrid coach was very unhappy about it and started to attack Pellegrini, saying he was insulting Raul."

Messi listened attentively. "And then?"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Abidal continued slowly, "and then a huge conflict broke out in the Real Madrid locker room."

"Pellegrini couldn't control the dressing room to begin with, and after this incident, it seemed like the local Portuguese gang started fighting again in the dressing room."

"Then Pepe got injured again, and this time it was more serious than the last time."

Abidal was still describing in vivid detail what happened in the locker room, as if he was there and saw it with his own eyes.

Charles didn't know what to say for a moment.

He didn't know that Pepe was so easily beaten in the locker room.

This is really an insight.

I don’t know how he got through last season, and he was able to cover up this news so well.

On the other side, Guardiola also came over, and the Barcelona players who had just gathered together dispersed instantly.

Vilanova was seen standing behind Guardiola with a sad face.

"Okay, the competition is tomorrow. Everyone is tired these past few days, so let's do some recreational training."

Guardiola said with a smile.

All the Barcelona players nodded in agreement out of respect.

They have played activities like this many times, such as field rugby, dancing and passing the ball, etc. I wonder what tricks Guardiola will play today.

You can't go down to play football.

"Then Tito and I will go out and play together today, and then we will split into two teams."

"If my team loses, let's pick a time and I'll treat everyone to a meal. If Tito loses, then Tito will treat everyone to a meal. How about that?"

Guardiola said with a smile.

Ibrahimovic turned his head and looked aside, "Who asked you to treat me to a meal..."

"Then what do you want?"

Guardiola keenly locked onto Ibrahimovic who was muttering to himself.

He always thought he had a good temper until he met Ibrahimovic.

When Charles saw that the atmosphere was not right, he was just about to give Ibrahimovic a way out, but Pique took the lead.

"If you lose, Pep, just treat us all to a meal and then give Ibrahimovic a loving hug alone!"

In an instant, all the players on the field burst into laughter.

Vilanova couldn't help laughing for a moment, "Okay, let's divide into groups. First of all, we need two coaches. Who will come?"

Ciel was the first to run out of the team, "I'll be the coach."

"Me too," after seeing Charles rushing out, Harvey, who was a step slower to react, also ran out of the crowd and stood beside Charles.

Guardiola nodded with some regret. "Okay, now it's time for the two coaches to start selecting players. Tito and I'm leaving our wallets in your hands."

"Don't worry, Pep, I will definitely protect your wallet," Charles said with a happy smile.

In the past, he was always coached by others. Now, it is time to record this precious moment. The name of the video is "Precious early video of Coach Xia Gua".

Harvey smiled but said nothing.

He was very interested in the profession of coaching. Compared with him, he felt that Charles might not be able to beat him.

It doesn't matter if Jean Charles is there.

Vilanova and Guardiola stood behind Xavi and Charles respectively.

Charles took the tactical board from Guardiola and looked at Xavi seriously.

"You choose first or I choose first?"

"You pick three first, and then I pick six. In the second round, you pick seven, and then I pick the remaining four."

Harvey said after thinking for a moment.

While he was still thinking about who to choose, Charles took the tactical board and started to report the list he wanted.

"Messi, Henry, Iniesta."

Harvey's eyes widened.

He didn't expect that Charles would choose two of the four main forwards at once, leaving him with Ibrahimovic and Bojan.

After thinking for a while, Xavi could only cross out the original candidates. He now wished he could go down and play football himself.

"Ibrahimovic, Busquets, Keita..."

Vilanova and Guardiola watched with great interest as coaches Xavi and Charr fought from the selection of players to the tactical arrangements.

As time passed, the coaches of both sides had selected their players. Guardiola stood in a familiar position, glanced at Messi not far in front of him, then glanced at coach Charles on the sidelines, and was filled with emotion for a moment.

Although Xavi has played football longer than Charles, he still followed Charles's tricks in tactics.

In addition, Vilanova's skills are average.

With the combination of the two, the team led by Xavi was quickly scored a goal by the Charles team.

The final score of 1:0 remained until the end of the game.

Charles successfully defended Guardiola's wallet, and Vilanova could only wave his hand to indicate that he was ready to treat him.

The day after returning the tactical board to Guardiola, Barcelona faced Espanyol at home.

After Henry changed his equipment, he sat quietly in his seat and admired the 25 "Pepe injury report sheets" prepared by Abidal.

Why 25 copies?
Because one copy was taken by Guardiola.

When Charles saw this scene, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He didn't know when the conflict between Henry and Pepe became so serious.

Noticing Charles' gaze, Henry stood up and handed him the newspaper.

"Come and see this?"

"Isn't this the one Abidal collected yesterday?"

Henry shook his head. “No, you’ll know when you see it.”

Ciel was a little confused, but took it after adjusting the shin guards.

"What is this?" Messi, who had changed into his equipment, came over. "Top 10 quirks on the field?"

"Yes, it's quite interesting," Henry nodded, "But, is what Charles said about you true?"

Hearing this, Bo Yang immediately became interested, "What quirk? Let me see."

Charles didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only hand over the newspaper in his hand.

Bojan immediately began to read in vivid detail:
"Former French goalkeeper Barthes also had a history of urinating openly on the pitch, just like Lehmann now. It's no big deal once in a while, as long as it's not a hobby."

"Next, Daily Sports will introduce you to the top ten quirks of players on the court."

"..."

"Sixth, Pires who doesn't like to change his underwear."

"Maybe French heartthrobs all have lots of quirks, but his is more unique."

"Pires likes to wear the same pair of underwear during the game. It is said that this makes him run more comfortably."

"He lasted longer than Jordan did."

"The basketball gods will always love to play in the same pair of University of North Carolina shorts that have outlived the NBA under their Bulls uniforms."

"And Pires went a step further and saw the tighter-fitting underwear as a symbol of good luck."

"Fifth, Beckham, who is equally handsome and charming, is the exact opposite of Pires' eccentricities."

"If there is an odd number of Cokes in the fridge, he will throw one away immediately. So if he wants to avoid waste, he has to drink two bottles of Coke at a time."

"On the pitch, Beckham would change into new shoes for every game. He would never wear the shoes he had worn only once, no matter how clean they were."

"Fourth, many people have the habit of recognizing their beds, and a very small number of people have the habit of recognizing their urinals. Chelsea captain Terry is one of them."

"There is a dedicated urinal in the home dressing room at Stamford Bridge for John Terry to use for this purpose."

"Only when he stands before this mysterious source of power can Terry find his most heroic state."

"If someone was in a hurry to use the urinal, Terry would patiently stand behind him and wait and watch - he didn't care if anyone could use it or not."

"Third, Raul has two most famous habitual actions. The first is to kiss his wedding ring after scoring a goal, and the second is to step forward with his right foot when entering the stadium, making sure his right foot touches the grass first."

"There are many players in La Liga who have this quirk. Atletico Madrid striker Fran is also a firm supporter of the 'right foot winning theory'."

"Secondly, like the relationship between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Charles is a 'left-foot winning' player."

"According to the editor's statistics, in all the games since joining Barcelona, ​​except for the first few games, Charles always stepped on the grass with his left foot first."

"If you accidentally step onto the field with your right foot first, Charles will back out and re-enter the field."

"First, Blanco who loves to kiss his teammates at the World Cup."

"French players are always different."

"In the 1998 World Cup, before every game, French captain Blanc would hold goalkeeper Barthes in his arms and give him a deep kiss on his shiny head."

"Such a scene may be difficult to accept at first, and it may give you goose bumps all over your body."

"But then we got used to it. After France won the World Cup, Barthes' bald head was elevated to the level of a mascot."

“I just don’t know if he washes his hair before every game.”

"In summary, French players have the most quirks. I wonder if the French goalkeepers are willing to make sacrifices for the upcoming World Cup in South Africa..."

"If Lloris or Mandanda don't want to be kissed by Evra, maybe Charles can do it for them."

"After all, Ciel already has a quirk, so he probably wouldn't mind having another one..."

The French team's players do have a lot of quirks.

Like Henry, he had a special seat on the team bus where he had to sit because he thought it would bring him good luck.

But he didn't expect his predecessors to play so wildly!
Henry looked at Ciel thoughtfully.

"I think the problem with these two World Cups is probably that we didn't inherit this fine tradition."

Ciel looked at Henry with wide eyes.

The World Cup is about intensity, not scale, right? !
