champion godfather

Chapter 203 Volume [-] The Red Forest by Herald Piquet
When the final was over, the city of Lisbon fell silent for a few seconds.Tang En stood in the stands and applauded the Greek team. It was exactly the same as what he knew, even the process remained the same.In this cup, if there is any team that can completely restrain the host, then only Rehhagel's Greek team.
Scolari's Portugal were on their doorstep and wanted not just to win titles, but to win beautifully.But their offense was useless in front of the impregnable defense of the Greeks.It was as if stabbing a boulder with a gorgeous crystal dagger, and the final result was only a white scratch on the stone, while the crystal dagger shattered into countless pieces.
1:0, the low-key Greek defeated the confident host, and they created the greatest victory in the history of their national team.
Looking at the ecstatic Greek players, Twain was not as excited as he was when he saw this scene for the first time.While applauding, he said to Tang beside him: "I can already imagine what the headlines of the major media will be published tomorrow. This may be the most unconvincing champion in the history of the European Cup. Denmark is more successful than them." Convincing."
"Because of Schmeichel and Laudrup?" Don asked.
Tang En nodded: "The Portuguese must be very unwilling to lose. They lost to a team with no star players, and the combined value of the whole team may not be as high as Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo... It's ironic. Don, we won't be going back to England tomorrow, we'll go to another place first."
"where?"
"Spain, Barcelona." Tang En looked back at the lively scene in the center of the court, turned and walked out of his seat. "Let's go, the game is over."
Regardless of whether it was the ecstatic Greeks or the depressed Portuguese, and no matter what opinions and perceptions they might have about the Greek team winning the championship in Europe or even the world football, these had nothing to do with Twain and his assistant coach Tang En.
The busy summer has officially kicked off.

The next day, when the two of Tang En were sitting on the plane from Lisbon to Barcelona, ​​Tang was reading a newspaper that had just been published. The European Championship final that just ended last night was naturally the focus of the media's attention.Tang En was right. The media's reaction to the Greek's championship was very interesting. The Portuguese local media almost unanimously believed that the Greek's championship was stolen, and believed that the tactic of ten defending and one attacking was very immoral.
When talking about this game, other European media such as Spain also believed that the Greek carnival is not a good thing for the future development of European football.
Utilitarian football will sweep Europe again, and the viewing pleasure of football will be greatly reduced.This may make the already shrinking football market more difficult - no one likes dull and boring games, the fans don't like it, and neither do the sponsors.
Tang En glanced at it, he couldn't understand Portuguese at all... But he was not surprised that Tang could understand it.This guy is very, very eager to learn, and he spends all his spare time studying, so it's no surprise that he can learn Portuguese.
"Then what's on it?" Tang En asked casually.
"It's the same as what you said yesterday." After living with Tang En for a while, Tang usually talked more and more - when there are always people chattering around you, you will gradually open your mouth. "Nothing new."
Tang En smiled: "The losers will always have various reasons to excuse their own mistakes. Is the whole world going to start discussing defense now?"
Tang opened the newspaper and looked at the proud Tang En: "I don't think defense will become the mainstream tactic of many teams in the future. But all coaches will start to study how to break this defense."
Tang En shrugged, "It doesn't matter what they think or do. Defense is the basis of all tactics. Let's go to Barcelona, ​​where there is a young man I am very interested in. And our opponent this time is very strong..." Looking at the bewildered Tang, he laughed. "Very, very powerful."
When the two found a hotel in Barcelona to put down their luggage, and felt the youth training camp in Barcelona, ​​Tang finally knew who Tang En was targeting this time, and the competitors that the Forest team had to face this time—as he said, very powerful.
Tony Twain took a fancy to central defender Gerard Pique (Gerard_Pique), who was still in the Barcelona youth team. At this time, Pique was not well-known, but in the hearts of Barcelona fans, he was captain Puyol's future successor.
When they stood on the sidelines of the training ground to watch the target practice, Twain even found Messi inside.But he didn't find it too happy or subtle at all, because he knew very well that at this time, Messi had become the key object of investigation for Barcelona's first team.

As for Piqué, he is well aware that he still has loopholes to exploit.
The Spanish law is very special in that they stipulate that full-time teenagers are not allowed to sign any professional contracts. This rule is applicable to any company in Spain, and naturally football clubs are also included.So when the Spanish club worked hard to cultivate a new star and watched him play the main role in the Spanish youth team, they had to worry about it, for fear that foreign clubs would come to harass them.
Because they cannot sign professional contracts with young players, that means they cannot restrict where the players go.If the player has feelings for the club that cultivated him, and the club is committed to his future, then he is naturally happy to stay.However, if the club is unable to promise a future for young players due to some difficulties of its own, and at the same time, other clubs that can fulfill this promise take advantage of it, then it is entirely conceivable for a genius to leave...
Need an example?Francesc Cesc Fabregas, who loves Barcelona deeply and his whole family is a loyal supporter of Barcelona fans, was unable to get called up to the Barcelona first team. At the same time, because of the strength of Xavi and Iniesta, the Barcelona team Can't commit to the youngster's future as a regular for a long time.
So the best player in the 2003 World Youth Championship and the captain of the Spanish youth team left Barcelona, ​​where he was trained, and went to North London.
Wenger is a very cunning person. He has a good eye for seeing people, and he has a unique eye for finding loopholes.
Spanish law does not allow their professional clubs to offer professional contracts to underage young players, while English law allows English clubs to offer professional contracts to young players who have reached the age of 16.The time difference between these two years is the capital that English clubs can rely on to go to Spain to seek gold. Boy, the club that cultivates you cannot give you a professional contract, nor can you promise your future, but we can!
Arsenal's Wenger is like Columbus in the age of voyages, opening up a new continent for English clubs. All English coaches know that there are a large number of outstanding young players in Spain. They sign for free, no money, and they can still fight when they come!Especially for Barcelona, ​​Fabregas's success at Arsenal proved the strength of their youth training from an embarrassing angle for the Catalans.
Therefore, Tony Twain was not at all surprised that he could see English-speaking people on the sidelines of the training ground.And he also knew that there must be scouts from Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea among the disguised crowd, and the object of their investigation was also the purpose of his visit this time-Herald Piqué.
Standing on the sidelines of the training field and watching the training of the Barcelona youth team for a while, Tang En asked Tang beside him: "What's your evaluation?"
"The body is very good. As a central defender, his technique is much better than that of England's defenders." Tang said, this is the conclusion he saw in half an hour. As for other aspects of quality, he will not comment unless he sees it. "Physically speaking, I don't think he will have a problem adapting to the English league. Who are our competitors?"
"As far as I know...Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea." Tang En reported the names of the three most influential clubs in England.
Tang was not surprised, he nodded: "Of course." Excellent players naturally attract the favor of excellent clubs. What made him more interested was how Tang En planned to compete with these three clubs.
In terms of economic strength, Nottingham Forest is no match for the rich and powerful Chelsea.In terms of glory, the declining Forest team is not as good as the best Manchester United in the Premier League in ten years.In terms of training young players, they might as well have Arsenal. In addition, there is currently Piqué's friend Fabregas in the Arsenal team.
In fact, long before Tang En came, Piqué was already infinitely close to Manchester United.Ferguson's trust and cultivation of young people moved Piqué even more.Chelsea is the least advantageous of the three. Their first team has hoarded too many stars, and Piqué knows very well that there is no difference between him going to Stamford Bridge and staying at the Nou Camp.
Twain had no choice but to act later than others. A few months ago, the future of himself and the team was still uncertain. If the Forest team couldn't make it to the top, and came to Barcelona and the three major clubs to grab people, it would be a joke.
