There is a belief called football

Chapter 547
"Do you know that if you lose this game, Manchester City will be eliminated"?
Faced with the aggressive British reporter's question, Guardiola seemed a little bored, "Then why don't you think about the good aspects, why don't you think about the fact that we won this game?"
But British reporters are notoriously difficult to deal with. Mourinho, Van Gaal, and so many coaches lost patience in front of British reporters, and even burst into foul language.

"Do you think the current Manchester City has any chance of winning against Bayern Munich"?The reporter asked.

"Isn't there?"
"So, if the Manchester City team is out, will you resign?"
Guardiola was laughed out of anger. One of the favorite games played by British journalists last season was - when did Van Gaal leave and when did Mourinho leave.

In the end, Van Gaal died hard and didn't leave, but Mourinho couldn't make it through, and he really dismissed get out of class. This season, the British reporter played the same game again, but changed to "Guardiola" when he left.

"I can only tell you that I still have 3 years left on my contract with the club",
Having said all this, I didn’t expect that the reporter friend was still reluctant, “But your contract has a termination fee of 5000 million, that is, as long as Manchester City pays, you can leave at any time.”

"You fucking want me to go," Guardiola thought.

But swearing cannot be exploded. Guardiola pretended to be humorous and said: "If that is the case, it would be good to get a lot of money."

There were sporadic laughter at the scene, not to appreciate Guardiola's humor, but out of politeness.

Manchester City is currently ranked third in the Champions League group, and the qualifying situation is precarious. They are ranked fifth in the league and have not yet entered the Champions League. Guardiola's life is indeed sad.

"Some people say that unless you buy Messi, it is impossible for you to transplant Barcelona's style in Manchester City",
"I have my own football philosophy, do you want to teach me how to be a coach"?
The implication is, are you qualified? Let me take a look at the coaching certificate. Of course, I remember being choked up, "I only look at the results."

"Yes, when I hope you look at the results after the season is over, that would be better."

The press conference is over, but the pressure has just begun. Guardiola knows very well that he has no way out in this Champions League.

*****
Coming to Manchester, the Bayern players were a little uncomfortable, and Rafinha also caught a cold. Although it is as cold here as in Munich, the air in Manchester is humid, which makes the feeling even more uncomfortable.

Summer arranged the first few training sessions in the indoor training ground. After fully adapting to the climate here, Summer arranged the training outdoors.

Like Guardiola, Sammer is under a lot of pressure. If Manchester City is kicked off the cliff, then the situation in Group E will be easy at once, and if Manchester City wins, then Bayern will have to fight Fiorentina in the end.

As the head coach of the team, Summer certainly wanted to resolve the battle as soon as possible, but at this time the team doctor Wolfart changed his usual attitude and did not support heavy exercise training.

"Why"?Sammer slapped his head and covered his face.

"The weather is different. The climate here is wet and cold. The muscles of the players are not as well adapted as in Munich. The heavy exercise may cause injuries to the players."

After thinking again and again, Summer agreed with Wolfart's opinion, "Then leave all the strength training and physical training to you, and I am only in charge of tactical training."

*****
Facing the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Muller was in a daze on his training bike.

"Even Muller is depressed, the weather in Manchester is depressing enough," Li Qiao thought.

"What are you thinking?"
"Think of Munich beer, grilled sausages, and beautiful women in Munich bars," Müller said.

You have to ask, is there no beer and beautiful women in Britain?
Of course there is, but in Bayern's away games, Sammer is restricted and is not allowed to go out to have fun, so no matter how exciting the nightlife in Manchester is, it has nothing to do with Bayern players.

"Don't you miss your wife?"
Mueller turned his depressed face away, "What do you want her for?"
"Damn it, she's your wife," Li Qiao thought.

"But I miss my grandma",
"Your grandma"?
Then I saw that Muller was happy again, and told many stories about his grandma and his childhood.

"Doesn't your grandma think you talk too much?"Li Qiao asked.

Mueller shook his head, "No, she is the only one in our family who doesn't think I talk too much."

Li Qiao chuckled in his heart, "Maybe your problem of talking too much is inherited from her old man."

After a set of training, Muller was leaving. He didn't know what to do, but he probably couldn't stay idle and went to trouble other teammates.

After Mueller left, Li Qiao did leg training alone, but after a while, footsteps sounded behind him, and Li Qiao thought that Mueller was back again.

"Why are you back again?"
Turning around, Li Qiao was embarrassed. It was not Mu Le, but the captain Lahm.

As the captain, Lahm is second only to Sammer in Bayern. Li Qiao usually rarely talks to Lahm, and when he sees him, he just nods and smiles.

"Thomas is in the massage room," Ram offered.

"Oh",
Then there was nothing else to say. If Lahm didn't take the initiative to ask, Li Qiao would not dare to take the initiative to speak, and the two of them had nothing to talk about.

But today is different. Ram seems to have chosen this time to come here on purpose, and the purpose is also to talk to Li Qiao.

"Did you know I'm retiring in 2018"?
Li Qiao nodded, "I know, I've read the news."

"Then do you know what my biggest wish is before I retire?"
"I know, you also said in the interview that you will win the Champions League again."

Ram nodded.

"Actually, you can be the captain of Bayern in the future," Lahm said.

But Li Qiao almost fell off the training equipment in fright, "Captain"?This Li Qiao really didn't think about it.

"It should be Neuer," Li Qiao said.

Ram chuckled and didn't argue with Li Qiao, he knew it would be in the future, and no one would know now.

"2010, 2012, 2013", before Lahm finished, Li Qiao went on to say: "Bayern Munich's most glorious three years, three times into the Champions League final".

Ram is very happy, Li Qiao is very smart, "Yes, I have been the happiest three years in Bayern".

At that time, Li Qiao had already paid attention to Bayern Munich, and stayed up late to watch Bayern's ball. To be honest, I was really excited at that time. Bayern is so iron-blooded and never gives up.

Ram then asked: "Then do you know what was the basis of Bayern's success at that time?"
"Van Gaal, Heynckes, 4231"?
Ram shook his head, "No, at least not in my opinion".

"That"?Li Qiao didn't know what Ram was referring to.

In the end, Ram gave the answer, and this answer was a bit unexpected-"Golden Right".

"Golden Right Road" Li Qiao recited silently in his heart, and suddenly scenes from that year came to mind.

At that time, Bayern's right wing was Robben Garam, who was invincible all over Europe, and it still makes people excited when thinking about it now.

"I remember, Robben and you, golden right",
Ram nodded with a smile, "How do you feel about Bayern Munich now?"
"very strong",
"Yes, but it's not enough to win the Champions League," said Lahm.

Li Qiao thought for a while, "Maybe, after all, winning the Champions League is too difficult."

"So I thought, if I want to win the Champions League again before retiring, I must return to Bayern's golden right."

"Get Robben back"?Li Qiao blurted out.

Ram laughed, and Li Qiao also smiled embarrassedly, "How is that possible?"
Li Qiao thought again, "If you want to form a golden right, then you should talk to Costa, why do you want me?"

"Costa runs as fast as Robben," Li Qiao said.

Ram shook his head, "This has nothing to do with running, but with understanding football."

Li Qiao nodded, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Captain, why are you talking to me about these things today, can I help you?"
"certainly",
Li Qiao was very straightforward, "Then you say, as long as I can do it."

"I want to reorganize Bayern's golden right with you."

As soon as these words came out, Li Qiao's mind buzzed, "You think highly of me, don't you?" Li Qiao thought to himself.

Although Li Qiao has a big heart, it requires too much of himself. Li Qiao doesn't know if he can adapt, especially if he switches to the right side that he is not familiar with, then won't his best inside shot be useless?

"Captain, it's not that I don't want to, but as far as I know, the so-called golden right is Robben cutting inside. You go down, so it is difficult for the opponent to defend, but I am right-footed and cannot cut inside on the right."

Unexpectedly, Lahm looked confident, and did not feel any disappointment at all because of Li Qiao's words.

"I know",
"Did you know that ducks are still on the shelves"?Li Qiao thought.

Unexpectedly, what Lahm said afterwards left Li Qiao completely speechless, "So I will switch to the left side to cooperate with you."

Although Lahm played left back when he debuted, in the 2006 World Cup opener, Lahm scored the first goal of the German team, and many people still remember that goal.

But Lahm played right back probably for seven or eight years, and now for Li Qiao, he changed his accustomed position, which is a lot of trust for Li Qiao.

Seeing that Li Qiao was stunned, Ram smiled, "How about it, would you like it?"
"Of course I would. I watched you play left-back in the 2006 World Cup. How beautiful was your goal in Costa Rica."

The past is like smoke, that ball is 10 years away from now, there is a trace of sentimentality in Lahm's eyes, after all, he has reached the end of his career.

Looking at the young Li Qiao in front of him, Lahm was full of emotions, and finally said with great sincerity: "Li Qiao, whether I can win the Champions League again before retiring is up to you."
