Chapter 652 Guardiola's Call

The national football team returned to Beijing from Sydney, Australia, and was warmly welcomed by fans at the airport.

Although it is only to advance to the top ten, for Chinese fans, this is already a pretty good result.

At least, before Yang Yang's return, the Chinese team suffered two consecutive draws, and the national public opinion has been bad-mouthing. At that time, many people even believed that even if Yang Yang's return could not save the national football team.

But the facts have proved that Yang Yang's return has greatly improved the offensive power of the national football team, which in turn has brought about an improvement in performance.

Because of this, Yang Yang was praised by people all over the country, and at the same time attracted a large number of fans to the airport to welcome them. They greeted the national football team as if they were welcoming soldiers who had won a battle and returned triumphantly.

Yang Yang bears the brunt and is undoubtedly the most popular international player among fans.

……

After returning to Beijing, the national football team disbanded immediately.

But Yang Yang was left alone to meet with the leaders of the Football Association, the General Administration of Sports and the Olympic Committee, accompanied by the German coach of the Olympic team Klauschen.

This meeting and conversation is mainly because of the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games in August.

This is the first time in the history of China to host the Olympic Games. In the past few years, all major events in the Chinese sports world have revolved around this grand event. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is devoted to hosting this grand event.

The Olympic men's football has always been a popular event in the Olympic Games, but unfortunately, the Chinese men's football cannot give people confidence.

This time, the purpose of the leaders' meeting with Yang Yang was to hope that he could find time to come back to participate in the Olympic Games.

With Yang Yang's current status and influence, as well as the strength he has shown, if he is willing to return to China to play in the Olympics, it will undoubtedly give the Olympic team more confidence.

At least, Yang Yang led the team to win the World Youth Championship three years ago.

Olympic men's football is also a youth team event, but in this kind of event, the personal ability of the players can often play an important role.

"As far as we know, Ronaldinho, Messi, Aguero and others have all decided to participate. Among them, Ronaldinho participated as an overage player." Clausen obviously attaches great importance to whether Yang Yang will participate.

Yang Yang expressed without hesitation that he was willing to return to China to compete, but he would not participate in the training of the Olympic team. Instead, he would go directly to Europe to participate in the summer training, and then return to Beijing to meet with the Olympic team before the game.

Clausen agrees with this.

This year's Olympics will still be based on the World Youth Championship team three years ago, with some changes. The main reason is that in the past three years, many players have sunk because they couldn't play, and at the same time, there will be a few rookies.

As for the three overage players, Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi are currently confirmed. If Yang Yang decides to participate, the third spot will be given to Zhao Junzhe.

For this Olympic Games, the men's football team will not be given any performance requirements. I just hope that the results at my doorstep will not be too ugly, that's all.

Yang Yang was quite embarrassed about this, but at the same time he was very puzzled.

In the World Youth Championship three years ago, the Chinese team played against teams such as Brazil, Argentina, and Germany. Not to mention that they were not weak, but at least they were able to fight. However, in the past three years, the strength gap between the Chinese team and their opponents has become more and more obvious.

Just say Argentina.

The captain of the Argentine team back then was Zabaleta, who had just moved to the Premier League Manchester City recently, and before going to Manchester City, he performed very well in the Spaniard in La Liga.

Looking at the Chinese team, Feng Xiaoting also performed quite well in that World Youth Championship, and soon joined the Eredivisie and played for Feyenoord. He has established a firm foothold and become the main force, but from the perspective of progress speed, it is obvious that he cannot keep up with Sabaletta.

Of course, individual strength does not mean everything, because if the winner can be determined only by the comparison of strength, then the football game will not be as full of suspense as it is now.

In the past three years, Chinese players have been studying abroad one after another, and their overall strength has also improved a lot. Players such as Feng Xiaoting, Gao Lin, Chen Tao, Zhou Haibin, etc. have already gained a firm foothold in the Eredivisie, Belgium and Portuguese Super League. Hao Junmin also performed well in Hamburg. Overall, the Chinese team still has a certain degree of competitiveness.

When you really come to the game field, you will know whether you win or lose after you have played.

What's more, this time it is China's home court.

…………

…………

As soon as he returned home from the national team, Yang Yang received a call from Europe.

The unfamiliar number made him a little stunned, because not many rich families could get his phone number.

After the answer was passed, he directly introduced himself on the other side of the phone. He is Guardiola.

When Yang Yang heard the name just now, Yang Yang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react immediately, but soon he let out an ah, and Su Ye, who was sitting opposite him eating, was also startled.

Yang Yang hurried to the living room so as not to be disturbed.

Guardiola, the legendary captain of Barcelona, ​​​​is also the new coach of Barcelona who has just taken office.

In the original Barcelona selection list, Mourinho was at the top of the list. It was even rumored that the Portuguese madman's entry into the Nou Camp was already a certainty, but later it was said that he failed because of Cruyff's opposition.

Cruyff himself recommended Laudrup, who coached Getafe. The Danish coaching style has been affirmed by many people, and Cruyff has a pivotal voice in Barcelona.

In addition, Villarreal's Pellegrini and AC Milan's Ancelotti are popular candidates.

In this five-man coaching list, Guardiola's coaching resume is the worst, because he has no first-line coaching experience at all. He previously coached Barcelona's second team in low-level leagues, and his results were not eye-catching.

But no one knows what happened, Guardiola suddenly stood out and became Barcelona's new coach.

What surprised Yang Yang was that he didn't expect Guardiola to call him.

……

Although the two have not played on the court, Guardiola said with a smile that he has watched many Yang Yang's games, and he likes Yang Yang's playing style on the court, as well as the desire and passion he shows.

"I know that many things have not been confirmed yet, but I called you today just to tell you that I really hope to see you in my team. I believe that together we can create a new peak for Barcelona."

Yang Yang kept thanking him. He said that he was full of admiration for Barcelona and full of respect for Guardiola. He believed that playing in Barcelona would be a very wonderful thing, and he also firmly believed that Guardiola could bring success to Barcelona.

The two had an overseas phone call for about half an hour. Guardiola talked a lot about his thoughts on the team, his thoughts on team formation, and how he planned to play the role of Yang Yang.

From this phone call, Yang Yang could feel that Guardiola valued him, and he was sure that Guardiola was a person who paid great attention to details, and he had made sufficient preparations before making this call.

Yang Yang was also very grateful for this, and couldn't stop thanking him.

But at the same time, he also noticed that Guardiola only talked about Yang Yang from the beginning to the end, at most he mentioned the left back and forward, but he never mentioned Messi. Obviously, Guardiola, who was born as a professional player, knew very well that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

…………

…………

After hanging up Guardiola's phone call, Yang Yang felt restless for a while.

The same was true in the summer of [-]. At that time, he didn't know which team he was going to, and he was very upset, but he finally came to Liverpool without any danger.

In the two years in Liverpool, except for the two cheating American bosses who dragged Liverpool into the debt quagmire for no reason, everything else went very smoothly, which made Yang Yang very satisfied.

Now, he was once again faced with a choice.

Yang Yang didn't even think about eating now. He walked into the living room, opened his notebook, and checked the latest European football news. Among them, the most popular one was the transfer of Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo.

One was going to Barcelona and the other was going to Real Madrid. The outside media was buzzing, but Yang Yang didn’t know what to do in his heart. He didn’t know what would happen if he really went to Barcelona.

The latest news is that Real Madrid Chairman Calderon personally went to the European Cup to watch the Portuguese game, and revealed that Real Madrid's psychological ceiling for Cristiano Ronaldo is 500 million euros.

According to the British media, Real Madrid made an offer of 500 million euros for the first time, but was rejected by Manchester United. Ferguson made it clear that Ronaldinho would not be sold this summer.

Ronaldinho has already played the European Cup. Portugal stopped in the quarter-finals and lost to Germany [-]-[-]. After playing the European Cup, Ronaldinho will undergo ankle surgery.

This is actually not a big problem, and it doesn't even affect his participation in the game. It is estimated that he will have to rest for one and a half months after the operation, which is completely in time for the new season.

As for Barcelona, ​​Guardiola is reorganizing the team after taking over.

With Ronaldinho's transfer to AC Milan, Zambrotta, Edmilson, Deco, Oleg and other players were purged. The star of hope Dos Santos was also sold to the Premier League Tottenham. Veteran Thuram also announced his retirement.

As for signings, Barcelona is also very fast. It introduced Pique from Manchester United, spent 900 million euros from Seville to introduce right back Daniel Alves, and then introduced Sedu Keita from Seville.

The few transfers were all aimed at strengthening the team's weakness in the backcourt.

According to media reports, Barcelona is still actively contacting Liverpool. The club's technical director Begiristan frequently travels between Liverpool and Barcelona and is actively facilitating this transfer.

The entire European football world is also watching.

Everyone knows that once Liverpool sells Yang Yang, they will definitely get a large transfer fee. At that time, Liverpool will definitely use the money to fill Yang Yang's vacancy. At that time, they will make several blockbuster transfers one after another, causing a chain reaction.

The whole transfer market is looking forward to it.

But Yang Yang himself felt as if he was suspended in mid-air.

He didn't feel relieved until Su Ye's hand was gently placed on his shoulder.

She has been standing silently behind him.
