Chapter 552 Manchester City's Careful Thoughts
On the second day after the game, Guardiola was sitting in the office. There were two newspapers prominently placed on the desk in front of him. One was The Sun, the most famous gossip tabloid in Britain. On it was Aguero hugging left and right, with a bright face.
The other is a sports newspaper, which publishes the results of the current round of the Champions League and the standings of each group.
Group E:
Florence - 10
Bayern Munich - 9
Manchester City - 4
Borisov - 0
Theoretically speaking, Manchester City still has a chance. Their next opponent is Fiorentina. As long as they beat Fiorentina, their fate is still in their own hands.
This is due to the special rules of the UEFA Champions League, that is, in the group stage, if the two teams have the same points, it will not depend on who has the most goal difference, but on the relationship between each other, because Manchester City and Fiorentina are tied in the first round, so as long as Manchester City beats Fiorentina in the second round, then if both teams accumulate 10 points in the end, Manchester City will qualify.
But the mean British media don't think so, they think that Manchester City has bid farewell to this season's Champions League ahead of schedule.
The bad boy "Lineker" even complained that the influence of the Premier League in the Champions League is far inferior to that of La Liga and Bundesliga.
Guardiola closed the newspaper. In his career, he has seen too many complaints like this. As a successful person, it is certain that he will be complained about, but this time is different. He is really in crisis.
In Bayern, in Barcelona, no matter what the outside world says or complains about, he can lead the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League every year. Such a minimum consumption makes the complaints from the outside world look more like jealousy, but this time the Manchester City he leads is too disappointing. If the group really fails to qualify this season, it will be the worst result of his coaching career in the Champions League.
Thinking of this, Guardiola picked up the "Sun" again, and the next second, Guardiola, who was furious, crumpled the newspaper into a ball, and then threw it away.

"Do you still have brains, are you a professional player, do you deserve this jersey"?Faced with Guardiola's barrage of questions on the training ground, Aguero was stunned.
"Isn't it just a mistake in stopping the ball, as for making such a big fuss?"Aguero thought to himself.
"If you don't want to do it, leave early",
At first, the teammates didn't take it seriously, but gradually, the quarrel between the two developed into a physical conflict, and others ran over to see what happened.
First, Kompany stood up, "Kun (Aguero's nickname), how do you talk to the coach"?
"How do I talk? Whoever lost the game, take it out on me"!
"Okay, since you mentioned it, let's make it clear, what did you do after the Champions League game?"
Aguero was confident, "I went to the nightclub. The team only stipulates group activities before the game. The time after the game is mine. I can go wherever I want."
Although the words are true, but... the team just lost, and the group is worrying about qualifying. Isn't it too heartless to go happy at this time?
"As shameless as your father-in-law," Guardiola said harshly.
This is Maradona, Aguero said: "I am divorced, he is not my father-in-law, I can drink with anyone."
Guardiola saw more and more people gathering, and they were all trying to persuade them to fight. He knew that this would become a farce, and finally he said: "I hope you leave in winter, my team does not need people who ignore discipline."
"Let's go, I will go back to Argentina, I will go to Boca Juniors like Carlos Tevez, I am not afraid that there will be no place to play."
As a result, the two were completely deadlocked. Aguero was suspended from the team until the winter break, and Aguero also started to contact his next home through his agent.
This is not the first time that Manchester City's coach and players fell out. The last time Tevez and Mancini fell out on the spot, and it ended with Tevez leaving Manchester City. This time, it is estimated that they broke up unhappy.

After Li Shan parked the car and was about to enter the house with a big bag of food, someone behind him suddenly shouted. This shout was so sudden that Li Shan was startled.
Turning around, he saw that the other party was wearing a neat suit, and he seemed to be a successful person. Li Shan relaxed his vigilance, "Hello, do we know each other?"
"No", after speaking, the man stepped forward and handed over his business card.
After Li Shan took it, he looked at it and became even more puzzled. A name he was completely unfamiliar with—Giuseppe.Li Shan smiled at the other party, "Excuse me, are you trying to sell something? If so, then I can tell you that I don't need anything, thank you."
As soon as the words came out, the other party still kept a smile on his face and looked very polite, "No, I don't want to sell you anything, but I want to buy something from you."
Li Shan was confused and lost his patience, "Speak up if you have something to say, or I won't accompany you."
The other party stretched out his hand, "I am a scout for Manchester City."
"Um"?Li Shan seemed to have noticed something, but he couldn't be sure right away.
"Man City"?
"Yes, you can check it online." After speaking, the man pointed to the business card he had just given to Li Shan.
Since the other party is not a salesman, then the person who came is a guest, Li Shan pointed to the room, "Then please go in and talk."
*****
"Hello, Mr. Giuseppe, there is only instant coffee at home, you see"?
"No, pure water will do."
Li Shan paused for a moment, then replied: "Okay."
After receiving the water from Li Shan, Giuseppe stood up to express his gratitude.
Li Shan has a straight temper, "There is no one here, you can trust me, just tell me what you have."
Giuseppe played with the transparent glass in his hand, and said in a leisurely manner: "I am contacting you on behalf of Manchester City to discuss Li Qiao's transfer."
"Transfer"?There was a bang in Li Shan's head, it was too sudden.
"Sir, are you mistaken? Li Qiao just transferred to Bayern this summer. His contract with Bayern is 4 years. Even if he wants to transfer, it will be a long time later."
"No mistake, the Manchester City club hopes to sign Li Qiao next summer as Aguero's successor."
"Aguero is leaving"?
This is an internal secret of Manchester City. Although it is estimated that it cannot be concealed, Giuseppe said it himself to show his sincerity.
Giuseppe nodded, "Manchester City thinks Li Qiao is the best replacement."
Then Giuseppe took out an A4-sized document, "This document can prove that the meeting between me and you was authorized by the Manchester City board of directors, so you don't need to worry about what we say is right."
Li Shan nodded, expressing that he was not worried.
Then Giuseppe took back the document and handed over another document, which made Li Shan's heart beat faster.
The above are all attractive numbers - the annual salary is 1500 million, and the transfer fee is predicted by Manchester City to be 8000 million. In addition, for Li Shan, it is a figure that makes his eyes roll out - this transaction, Manchester City is willing to give Li Shan a commission of 1000 million euros.
Seeing these astonishing figures, anyone would be tempted, and Li Shan was no exception. Seeing Li Shan's appearance, Giuseppe knew that something was possible.
"How is it, are you satisfied?"
Li Shan just wanted to answer—satisfied, but before the words came out, Li Shan swallowed it back, because it meant he agreed, but in fact, this matter mainly depends on Li Qiao's attitude.
"Manchester City is also the best team in Europe. We have the best training ground, which is no worse than Bayern. In addition, in Manchester City, Li Qiao earns a lot more than in Bayern. Don't you think it's not good?"
"It doesn't matter what I say, it's up to Li Qiao to decide," Li Shan said.
Giuseppe nodded, "Of course", the matter was almost finished, and it was time to leave. Giuseppe stood up and said he was going to leave, but Li Shan didn't keep it. He just asked for the document, "Lend me for it."
Giuseppe nodded, no problem.

When Li Qiao came back, Li Shan didn't say anything, just put the document on the table, and Li Qiao understood everything when he saw the Manchester City logo on the document.
"Dad, today's business"?
Li Shan chuckled, "Yes."
"Where do you want to sell me this time?"
"Stinky boy, how can you talk, treat me as a human trafficker",
Li Qiao smiled, "I've read it, the contract is fat."
"Motivated"?Li Shan asked.
Li Qiao shook his head, "Not at all."
"Well," Li Shan replied, this is what he expected. In Li Qiao's world, many things are more important than money.
"Then I rejected them severely," Li Shan said.
"Okay, but it will prevent you from getting commission again",
Li Shan laughed, "I'm an amateur manager, and I'm used to it. If I really got the 1000 million, I might not feel used to it."
Li Qiao also laughed, he is not Anelka, he doesn't like frequent transfers, and it is doomed that Li Shan, as an agent, cannot have many opportunities to show his face, that is, the more successful his career is, the more failed his father's agent career will be.
"Dad, why don't you start a brokerage company instead of making small troubles like self-employed people."
"If you said that two years ago, I would be tempted, but now, I won't, because I know that football is not easy. Forget it, I'll be your half-assed agent honestly. It's cool to see the ball."
"Well", Li Qiao also felt that Dad was not suitable for business, "If you lack money, just tell me."
"This is for sure," Li Shan said with a smile. Although he said so, Li Shan has never spent money indiscriminately, even if Li Qiao earns a lot of money every year.
"If you're really afraid that your dad will be bored, it's easy,"
"What do you think",
Li Shan said softly: "Get married early and give birth to a grandson, so I won't be bored anymore."
Li Qiao felt hehe, hehe, thinking: "This trick again"?
Li Qiao is still the same old way, doing Tai Chi: "Well, Dad, I'm tired, I'm going upstairs first."
