It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 18 Learning from Guardiola

After reading Mourinho's biography, Charles couldn't help but feel the urge to learn from Mourinho.

During the time when he cannot play, he should seize the time to learn from Guardiola.

Then, before he was discovered to be a scumbag, he retired and became a coach.

On the 17th, Barcelona played against Deportivo La Coruna at home, but Charles missed the game.

Just as Charles was preparing to watch the game to improve Guardiola's favor after the game, he was shocked as soon as he turned on the TV.

“13岁身高只有1.40米，被专家认定不会再长高。他17岁却长到了1.70米，他就是2007年度世界最有价值球员、欧洲最佳新秀奖、世界足球天才梅西。”

"Who helped him break the fate of not being able to grow taller? Who saved him and made him create a miracle? It turned out that Messi was taking a mysterious substance, blue whale brain extract."

"Increase one size and help you grow as tall as Messi. Increase one size and help you be as successful as Messi!"

Charles didn't know what to say.

This advertisement can only be compared with that of "Golden Voice Throat Treasure".

In 2003, Ronaldinho came to China to play a game with Real Madrid. He was invited to have a meal by the people from Golden Throat. During the meal, he was told that "Golden Throat" could prevent SARS, so he treated it as a public service advertisement.

In the ad, Ronaldinho holds a medicine box and smiles foolishly, revealing his big, wide-set teeth. A powerful male voice narrates: "Golden Throat Treasures, Guangxi Golden Throat!"

Later, the spokesperson for Golden Voice was changed to Kaka, and even the camera position of the advertisement remained unchanged.

Thinking of this, Charles clumsily fiddled with his phone with his left hand, found Messi's number in the address book and dialed it.

It goes without saying that this kind of advertising is a trick by the business.

There is no need to congratulate Xavi and Messi for winning the fifth and second place in the World Footballer of the Year respectively.

Because I had already congratulated her before the surgery.

After talking to Messi, Charles opened the "Essential Quotes for Professionals" and started calling Guardiola.

The call was answered quickly.

"Charles, what's up? Why haven't you gone to bed yet so late?"

"Coach, I just watched the match between Barcelona and Deportivo La Coruna today. Barcelona beat Deportivo La Coruna 6:0, but you are too low-key, coach."

“While it is wrong to be proud, it is equally a crime to be blind to greatness.”

After saying that, Charles turned to a new page in "Essential Quotes for Working People".

Since "science fiction" became "slides", Charles has bought several books like this.

Studying Mourinho is a long-term plan and a career plan.

But "Essential Quotes for Working People" are the daily necessities!

"After beating Osasuna in the last round, you, coach, helped Barcelona tie Real Madrid's half-time points record after La Liga changed to 20 teams."

"I didn't expect that in such a short time, you have set a new record."

"With 19 points in 50 league games, even if Real Madrid can win against Osasuna, the team will still have a 12-point lead under your leadership."

"I even went to look at the data, and I was shocked by the results."

"We got 57 points out of 50 in the first half of the game, and the half-time points rate reached 87.71%, which is the best record since La Liga changed to 20 teams and the best record in the history of Barcelona club."

"Not only in La Liga, but in the entire top five leagues, the coach closest to you is Inter Milan. Mourinho has 18 points in 43 games, but his points winning rate is only 79.62%."

"Coach, you have created a great team!"

"Soon, I believe you will become the fastest head coach in Barcelona's history to win 25 games."

“先生你现在只花了29场比赛时间（19场联赛，8场欧冠联赛，2场国王杯）就已经取得23场胜利。”

Cruyff took 38 games, Van Gaal took 41 games, Robson took 42 games, and Rijkaard took 45 games.

Charles did not say the following words.

"Essential Quotes for Workplace People" says that if you want to praise someone, you should use a completely reasonable and data-based tone and expression to make it seem like you are not exaggerating, but just stating the facts. At the same time, you should not overly suppress the person you are praising.

Guardiola suppressed his smile and said, "What do you want to do, kid? Why are you suddenly saying so many good things about me?"

Charles quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "Tomorrow Real Madrid will play against Osasuna. Coach, do you want to go to the Bernabeu to spy on the enemy?"

"what happened?"

"If you go, can you take me with you?"

Guardiola raised his eyebrows and turned down the volume of the videotape. "Why do you want to go to the Bernabeu instead of staying at home to recover from your injury?"

Xia Ertian said with a straight face, "I mainly want to learn your tactical philosophy from a close distance. Besides, my hand is injured, not my brain."

"Well, since you want to study, you can go to the Bernabeu with me tomorrow."

……

The next day, Charles got into Guardiola's car and headed to the Bernabeu.

After the game started, Charles listened to Guardiola's analysis humbly. As Guardiola spoke, Charles took notes in his notebook.

In the 13th minute, Juanfran fell to the ground immediately after a slight physical contact with Gago in the penalty area. Referee Brewer determined that Juan had dived and showed him a yellow card.

In the 37th minute, Sneijder made a free kick and Ramos' header was ruled out due to offside.

"The refereeing level this time is still acceptable. During the game, the referee's enforcement is also something that needs to be paid attention to..."

Charles quickly took notes. Many things are different from the perspective of a player and a coach.

Osasuna took the lead in the 20th minute. Plasil made a cross from the left bottom line. Cannavaro was attracted by Josector, while Nekonan on the other side headed the ball into the net in the middle of the small penalty area.

Osasuna 1:0 Real Madrid.

In the 49th minute, Ramos shot with his right foot from 25 meters away. The ball bounced in front of the goal. Roberto made a low-level mistake when he fell to the ground to save the ball. The ball slipped out of his hands after he saved it, and still rolled into the net over his body.

1-1, Real Madrid equalized the score.

In the 54th minute, Gago passed the ball and Robben's left-hand shot in front of the penalty area was blocked by the defender. One minute later, Higuain was given a yellow card for diving in the penalty area.

In the 56th minute, Ramos tripped Masood and received a yellow card. Four minutes later, Heinze elbowed Juanfran and was also given a yellow card warning.

"Look, Real Madrid is now under increasing pressure on the wing. Raul, Ramos and Heinze have been given yellow cards. At this time, we must..."

Charles nodded quickly.

Real Madrid took the lead in the 64th minute. Robben shook continuously on the left side of the penalty area and then pushed the ball to the middle. Josector and Xavi Flano both missed the ball. Higuain sent the ball into the empty goal from the back of the small penalty area. 2-1, Real Madrid staged a reversal.

"Do you know why?" Guardiola turned into a teacher and started to check on Charles.

"Because of……"

Gua Gua nodded with satisfaction.

In the 81st minute, Osasuna made a long pass from the backcourt, Juanfran dribbled through the right side of the penalty area, but Pepe kicked too late and stepped on the instep of Juanfran's right foot, causing him to fall in the penalty area.

Originally, Brewer blew the whistle to signal a penalty kick, and Pepe, knowing that he had committed a foul, even gave up his appeal.

But the assistant referee called Brewer to his side, and after a brief conversation between the two, Brewer cancelled the penalty and instead judged Juanfran guilty of diving.

Guardiola shook his head. "Last October, Real Madrid was misjudged in matches against Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. Miatovic immediately shouted the slogan 'Someone doesn't want Real Madrid to win three consecutive championships.'"

"Now Miatovic said nothing, as if he didn't see it."

"That's what they call - the crying child gets the milk."
