Chapter 1464 Guardiola's thoughts

"Boss, you've been watching this goal all the time. What's the meaning behind it? Ai Huan's performance in this game doesn't seem to be purely about this goal, does it?"

Guardiola sighed softly, "I have noticed this person many years ago. At that time, I knew that his ability surpassed everyone, but I also knew that he was a thorn, so I have always been unwilling Recruit him. But even if his character is really problematic, it doesn't mean that he is not an excellent player. The reason I have been watching this is to see if I can see any clues, and how to prevent him."

"It's almost a month before our game against Chelsea, isn't it a bit too early for us to prepare?"

"Too early? Hehe, I was already preparing for today when I agreed to come to Manchester City to coach. In my opinion, he is the only opponent in the entire Premier League. He is a madman himself, and Mourinho is even more a madman. When these two people are combined, the horror created will be unparalleled." Speaking of which, Guardiola looked back at his assistant coach, and then said, "I really want to beat him, I think so much! And I can guarantee that he thinks the same way, so I dare say that the next time we meet, he will definitely appear on the court."

"Then what do you see?"

Guardiola suddenly sighed, and shook his head slowly, "I can't see anything. Ai Huan was obviously lacking in physical strength in this game. He didn't perform well throughout the game, and he didn't even participate in the offense personally. It’s just passing the ball non-stop, but who knows that he still has such physical strength at the last moment, which is a terrifying existence in itself, and I even doubt that he has been forbearing all this time, just for this opportunity.”

"But he had better chances than this in both halves, but he didn't do anything himself?"

"Yes, maybe as some people said, he gave Uribe a face, which is considered a kindness, but when he plays against us, he will not have such a psychological burden. What will we do then? ? When he comes back again, his physical strength will definitely not be a problem. What shall we do then?"

The assistant coach was not as worried as Guardiola, he just curled his lips, "We spent nearly [-] million to build the best defense in the world, can he really beat our four defenders?"

After Guardiola took office, he told the board of directors of Manchester City that he is not a magician. If he wants to achieve the best results, he must spend a lot of money to buy players. Mendy was bought for 200 million, Stones was bought for 570 million, Laporte was bought for 700 million, and Walker was bought for 500 million. [-] million, although Guardiola has not said so far, but everyone knows that this line of defense is prepared for Ai Huan.

As for the midfielder, Guardiola also bought Gundogan, David Silva, Fernandinho and others, throwing out as much as 6000 million in one summer, but the money was also exchanged. Huge return, Manchester City have not lost a game so far, whether it is in the Premier League or in the Champions League, they have been triumphant all the way, only because of a draw with Manchester United, they are only two points behind Chelsea, but everyone knows Which game is the most important, which is why Guardiola starts planning now.

"Can these four people stop Ai Huan?" Guardiola has thought about this question countless times, but he still has no answer.

"Actually, we still have Fuchs in our hands. Although he didn't take any advantage in the confrontation with Ai Huan last season, the facts have proved that his dominance within three meters is still effective. Maybe We can work on him more," the assistant coach suggested.

Guardiola shook his head lightly, "Fuchs' role should not be defensive at all. Many people think that his best position is to be a midfielder or an assistant who goes through the needle, but I think they are all wrong. Many people don’t know the true strength of this player. My hope for him is not to be a midfield supporter, I want him to be the core of our Manchester City midfielder. This has always been my belief.”

It's not that the assistant coach doesn't know Guardiola's plan. He also sees that Guardiola has been adjusting Fuchs all the time, but the question is, wouldn't it be better if there is another person who can stop Ai Huan?
"I know your intention is to want Fuchs to intercept Ivan, but don't forget that all the teams playing against Chelsea are not passively beaten. If we give up our inherent things, then wait for us It is an undeniable fact that all they can do is to fail, and we must come up with a way to defeat them."

"Why can't we try to place the bus? Maybe this is also a good way. If we really stick to it with our strength, can't we really stop Ai Huan?"

Guardiola looked at his assistant as if he was looking at an alien, and sighed after a while, "If only it were so simple. I've been looking at why this is. I just want to know if we really stick to it. Then will it stop Ai Huan, but the result makes me very regretful, Ai Huan's ability is too strong, he is really not like us on earth, we can't give him any chance, no matter it is an empty space or a free kick, what? No way, how can we defend like this? Even if we spend [-] million to form a back line, we still can't stop Ai Huan, this is the reality."

"Do we really have no chance?"

"Of course not. Chelsea is not a cosmic team. If you don't talk about Ai Huan, then their overall strength is just a quasi-strong team. But with Ai Huan, I really don't know how to comment on him. Yeah, this guy is such a pain in the ass."

He paused for a while before suddenly laughing, "It seems that we have to prepare for it now. Fortunately, we still have time. Although one month is not enough for us, it is enough. This damn schedule , It would be nice to play against Chelsea next week, but there is no hypothetical possibility."

The assistant coach didn't speak, but stood gently behind Guardiola, seeing his boss replayed the video again and again, every time he watched it, he felt his heart sink a little.
