Chapter 132 Stan Just Wants to Provoke His Opponent
Guangzhou Tianbao's expedition time is relatively long this time, and Stan has stipulated that players are not allowed to bring their families and girlfriends.
But Stan gave each player 5 final tickets. This is a common practice. Whether it is the World Cup or the Champions League, the organizer will give some tickets to the club, but how to allocate these tickets is the club's own business. Some clubs will give the tickets to sponsors, but in Guangzhou Tianbao, this right belongs to Stan.
As soon as Li Qiao heard the news, he thought about how to use these tickets. Two tickets were given to his parents, and the other was given to Diana’s family. They were invited to watch the game in Seoul. Some family members felt that 5 tickets were too few, so they had to ask Stan for a few more tickets, such as Nekonan.
Li Qiao called Diana that night and told him the news. Diana was also very happy to hear that she would fly directly from Shanghai to Seoul with Li Qiao's parents, while Lobarov and Ms. Eva would go directly to Seoul from Kiev. Li Qiao was very generous and said in advance that he would cover all expenses.
*****
On the third day after arriving in Yokohama, as agreed, Guangzhou Tianbao will play a friendly match with the Yokohama Mariners. The match will be held at the 2002 World Cup final stadium "Yokohama International Stadium".
This modern stadium can accommodate 72000 people, and more than 1 fans came on the day of the game. As a friendly match, such an attendance rate is already very good.
For the second round of the next final match, Stan deliberately reserved a hand. This game did not send a main lineup. Li Qiao, Kongka, and Gudjohnsen were all absent, but that was it. Guangzhou Tianbao still beat the Yokohama Mariners 4-0. It can be said that at the club level, the J-League is far inferior to the Chinese Super League.
At the post-match press conference, Stan was in a good mood. He first politely praised his opponent's performance. When the reporter asked Stan if he remembered the Yokohama Mariners players, Stan snickered, and the reporters in the audience did not grasp this point.
When it came to the fifth question, Stan swept his eyes and saw a beautiful woman raising her hand who looked like the heroine in the Japanese movie "Flower and Snake 2", which was very eye-catching.
Stan gestures at her, allowing her to ask the question.
The Japanese female reporter first introduced herself. It turned out to be a reporter from the sports department of "Yomiuri Shimbun". The question asked by the female reporter was a hypothetical question. Suppose Guangzhou Tianbao won the AFC Champions League and came to Yokohama to participate in the Club World Cup. What is Stan's goal?
Originally, Stan only needed to say to this question, "Then I'll answer you when we come next time", but Stan, who won the game today, was in a good mood, and the reporter who asked the question was a hot girl, so Stan got a little carried away, and he said: "Champion".
As soon as this remark came out, the instinctive eyes of the reporters below lit up. They seemed to realize that the news was on, because Stan’s words were crazy enough. In fact, sports reporters like head coaches with big mouths. Why British reporters like Mourinho so much is because you will always be surprised when you attend Mourinho’s press conference.
A South Korean reporter followed the question from the Japanese female reporter. He asked, "But you haven't won the AFC Champions yet."
Unexpectedly, Stan's answer shocked everyone even more.
Stein said: "If I don't win the AFC Champions League, I will resign."
The assistant coaches Pekovic and Nekonan who attended the press conference next to Stan were shocked. Didn't they say it was a routine press conference?Stan, what are you singing about?
The South Korean reporter continued to ask: "Is this disrespecting the opponent Seoul FC?"
"What I need is not respect, but a championship. Do you think our club can buy half of the Korean league with the money invested in a year? Are we looking for respect or championships?"
Stan's answer is too domineering. Could it be that Stan has a hot head today?Of course not, he used this method to put pressure on Seoul FC, because Stan knew that every word he said today would immediately spread on the Internet, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Choi Yongsu. Sure enough, many reporters later asked Choi Yongsu, Stan said that if he didn’t win the class, he would leave get out of class, what about you?
The South Korean reporter was speechless by Stan's choking. He knew that the rich Chinese Super League, not to mention the South Korean K-League, could not match the investment of the Chinese Super League, even Serie A.
Another ESPN reporter caught another meaning of Stan and asked, "Are you confident of beating Barcelona"?
Stan paused, then said: "I want to challenge Guardiola."
As soon as the words came out, the place suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard of the laptop was left in the release hall. Everyone was very excited, and they knew there was news.
Of course, Stan knew this well. On the second day after the press conference, Stan had breakfast in the restaurant. Pekovic brought five sports newspapers that could be bought in the local area. The headlines on the front page were all "Stan boldly challenged Barcelona".
Even the paper media is like this, so there is no need to say what kind of situation is on the Internet.
*****
Stan pushes away the Japanese morning in front of him, says, "Not good," and looks at Pekovic.
"Stan, are you confident to challenge Barcelona"?
"I don't", Stan replies.
"You are learning from Mourinho"?
"right",
Pekovic smiled.
"Okay, laugh at me," Stan said.
"I didn't laugh at you",
"The curvature of your mouth proves that you are laughing at me, but I don't care." After speaking, Stan began to flip through the newspapers in front of him, all of which were in Japanese, and Stan just looked at the pictures.
"Stan, that's not like your usual style," Pekovic said.
"what"?
"You don't pick on your opponent before a game," Pekovic said.
Stan looked at his watch and said, "Guess what Choi Yong-soo is doing over there in Seoul right now"?
"It's probably also getting up and eating breakfast," Pekovic said.
"Then will he read the newspaper?"
"It should be",
"Then how is he feeling now?"
Pekovic seemed to understand something, he looked at Stan and said, "It's going to explode"?
Stan snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, that's what I want".
Pekovic looked at Stan suspiciously, thinking: "When did old Stan change?"
The main reason is that Stan has recently fallen in love with the Chinese Art of War. He thinks that the Chinese Art of War is all about tactics. The most important thing is the psychological aspect. For example, the Chinese Art of War has such a strategy as "swearing formation".
Of course, as the head coach of football, Stan can't irritate his opponent by swearing. All he can do is disgust his opponent. It is estimated that when Cui Yongzhu saw Stan's words, his first feeling must be rage.
Stan doesn't need to explain to Pekovic yet. Generally, the head coach doesn't explain anything to the assistant coach. The assistant coach is actually an assistant and a tool of the head coach.
This is why the person who worked as an assistant coach for "Bobby Robson" did not become an excellent head coach, and "Mourinho" who worked as a translator for Bobby Robson learned the true biography of Robson, because the coach may not necessarily tell the assistant coach his thoughts, but he must tell the translator.
"Halve practice today," Stein told Pekovic.
Pekovic nodded. He understood Stan's training plan very well. Generally, if there is no competition, it is a 7-day cycle. If there is a competition, the training volume will be increased the day before the competition, and the training volume will be reduced the day after the competition.
Yesterday was the match against the Yokohama Mariners, so today Stan did not forget to remind Pekovic.
*****
On the training ground, there are two groups, doing stretching training for each other. This kind of recovery training is like being in the training room. Everyone is doing stretching and chatting at the same time.
Of course, the topic cannot be separated from what Stan said at the press conference yesterday, going to the Club World Cup?Many players have dreamed about it before, but when they really think about it, it still feels very exciting.
How many world superstars have been produced by a century-old giant like Barcelona and Santos, and what is the feeling of playing against them.
"Hey, Prahimi, you might be sent to defend Messi," said Joe Lee.
"Hehe, you might break through Valdez's gate," Prahimi said.
Li Qiao and Prahimi were making movements while talking YY.
"What would you do if you defended Messi"?Li Qiao asked.
Prahimi said seriously: "I can't defend Messi alone, I still have to rely on crowd tactics."
Li Qiao chuckled and thought: "Xiao Hei thinks a lot."
"As long as you defend Messi to death, then your day to join Barcelona will not be far away," Li Qiao said.
"Hehe, hehe", Prahimi looked up, and Li Qiao knew that he was in YY again.
After YYing for a while, Brahimi was brought back to reality. He looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then whispered: "I heard that Asian football needs to pass two tests because of its poor level. The first opponent will be the Central and North American Caribbean champions, and then the semi-finals will be the South American champions. Finally, if you reach the final, you may meet Barcelona."
"You have no confidence"?Li Qiao asked.
Prahimi made a "cut" face and said: "Football is a team sport, what's the use of my confidence".
But Li Qiao said firmly: "Anyway, I am confident that we can meet Barcelona."
After speaking, Li Qiao looked at Stan in the distance. He knew that the man, like himself, was deepening his understanding of football every day. In other words, he was growing every day.
