Chapter 201 The Criticism Caused by Losing

Everything starts with the block by Chilean national goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

The 0:4 loss at Camp Nou brought Manchester City back to gloomy Manchester in disgrace. This is one of Guardiola's four losses in his coaching career, tying the 0:4 loss to Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League semifinals on April 2, 2014.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, before Bravo transformed into a volleyball player, Manchester City was actually not losing at all. Whether it is Bravo or the defense in front of him, the performance is quite normal, and can even be described as 'perfect'.

But since being frightened by Bravo, the four kings of defense have collapsed. At that moment, Messi, who was not far from Bravo, couldn't help but smile like a bearded man.

Although he was only Barcelona's backup goalkeeper before, Bravo was very reserved in front of Messi, because it was he who personally killed the boss Messi's dream of winning the America's Cup for two consecutive years, allowing 2 to catch up with 2 at the national team level.

It’s all thanks to Bravo that the little fresh-faced Messi was so sad that he grew a thick beard and turned into a greasy football uncle.

Bravo returned to the Camp Nou to face his old club. Perhaps many Manchester City fans had this image in their minds: the Chilean pounced high to resist, recreating the highlight moment of the Centenary America's Cup and blocking Messi's shot. .

Before leaving for the game, Bravo confidently said in front of the media interview camera: "I know Messi, he is very strong, but I will not be afraid, because you have to play against strong teams to inspire you." My best level. I look forward to competing with Messi and helping the team beat Barcelona."

Sure enough, Bravo was inspired by Barcelona to have volleyball powers, but it was not Messi, but Scar.

Bravo is the person chosen by Guardiola this summer to clean up England goalkeeper Joe Hart. If Bravo keeps shutting everyone up with his outstanding performance, the British media will really not be able to make irresponsible remarks about Guardiola.

But volleyball player Bravo gave the British media an opportunity to complain about Joe Hart, and criticism of Guardiola poured in. As for Hart's previous outstanding performances in Manchester City and the England national team, they were selectively forgotten and sprayed with various postures.

In fact, Hart, who was loaned to Turin, did not produce a performance that Guardiola regretted. On the contrary, after 11 rounds, his save success rate ranked lower among the main goalkeepers in Serie A, but Turin was really not better. No, I can only make do with it.

If Joe Hart doesn't turn around later, it may be difficult for Turin to implement a permanent buyout after the season.

But Guardiola is a tough guy, and letting the media make such a fuss has completely blocked Hart's return to Manchester City, unless Guardiola sacks him.

Hart is by no means the only person who hopes that Guardiola will be dismissed from get out of class. Yaya Toure's desire is stronger than Hart's.

After the Mansour Consortium took over, Manchester City has emerged as the core of the team, a meritorious captain who has served for six years, and an all-around fighter who will definitely be recorded in the history of Manchester City Hall of Fame. But who still remembers that there is a player named Yaya in the Manchester City team so far in the new season? ·Toure's people.

No illness or injury, no absence from training, no late arrival or early leave, and no request for leave. However, he has not been included in the squad for the Toure League once, and has not been registered for the Champions League.

If Hart is down on his luck, then Toure is simply Dou E. He is so miserable only because he offended Guardiola six years ago.

After six years, Gua Shuai has been so petty.

In fact, it was not Toure who offended Guardiola, but his agent Dimitri Saluk.

In the summer of 2007, because he was favored by then head coach Rijkaard, Toure transferred back to Barcelona and quickly became the team's main defense, a hub for offensive and defensive transitions, and a B2B perpetual motion machine.

But a year later, Jie Shuai was dismissed from Barcelona, ​​Guardiola took over at Camp Nou, and then Toure found himself as the substitute for the 20-year-old Busquets. Later, if Toure wanted to get a chance to play, he had to squat in the defense.

This involves Guardiola's creation and selection of Barcelona's new style, as well as Toure's own technical and tactical characteristics. In short, the two of them did not call.

Barcelona is no longer a good place. Seeing Busquets evolve into a Habaib classic, Pique also squeezed him out of the defense to become Puyol's regular partner, so in 2010 Toure switched to Manchester City, which was undergoing major construction.

When he left, Toure complained, but he still kept his mouth shut, but his agent Saluk was not so particular. He scolded Guardiola like crazy.

Guardiola was hot-tempered and stupid, but he also put on airs and did not scold Saluk. It was Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​who came out to support Guardiola and also condemned Saluk for his indiscriminate words.

Saluk is really a bastard. He directly called Cruyff "old rotten". He has been relegated to the second line for many years and is still trying to gain a sense of presence. Barcelona is Barcelona's Barcelona, ​​not your Cruyff's Barcelona.

This time, Guardiola, who was originally a bit aggrieved, finally found a high-sounding reason.

In the six years since he came to Manchester City, Toure has made outstanding achievements. Internally, he actually has a higher status than Aguero and Kompany. He is the real brother of Blue Moon. Especially in the 2013-14 season, he scored 24 goals as a free midfielder and looked like a black Zhuoyang.

In the past six years, because of Toure's rise, agent Saluk would quarrel with Guardiola whenever he had the opportunity, whether he was in Barcelona or Bayern. Saluk and Toure were dumbfounded when Guardiola took over Manchester City this summer.

Saluk knew something was wrong. He said: "The Premier League and La Liga are completely different from the Bundesliga. Let's wait and see."

The wait and see result is that Toure has no chance. Guardiola said: "I have no conflict with Toure, and his training attitude is also good. His agent has attacked me over the years, and I don't care, but I cannot tolerate his slander. Mr. Cruyff, no one can do that."

"Saluk must apologize to the late Mr. Cruyff and apologize to me, otherwise Toure will not get any chance."

This reason is simply too majestic and righteous. Death is a big deal, let alone a god like Kesheng. Guardiola majestically sent Yaya Toure into the cold palace.

Saluk was so sarcastic just now, he could just apologize. Touré can't afford to offend Guardiola, nor can he persuade his agent. He calls Saluk "Dad" on weekdays, so he can only accept the situation and build himself into an aggrieved man who is suppressed but still conscientious, occupying the moral position. Let’s talk from the commanding heights and wait for the opportunity.

When they were winning ten games in a row, everyone could only shut up, but after losing 0:4 to Barcelona, ​​and it was Manchester City's third consecutive defeat, the opportunity came.

Toure chose to continue to endure and keep hope, and Saluk opened the spout.

"Anytime Guardiola only thinks about himself, he has regarded himself as a god. There are so many strange things happening in Manchester City now because Yaya Toure has played here for many years and so has Joe Hart. I don't I don't know if it's the same with Kompany. But what I'm saying is that when a new coach comes here, he treats the players like dogs."

"Toure has suffered the most severe humiliation. No one can understand that a player like him would be treated like this. He was not included in the squad for the league and was not registered for the Champions League. This is simply unreasonable."

"Some players in the team who clearly do not have the qualifications to participate can sit on the bench and be included in the Champions League roster."

"Of course, I am not talking about Zhuo Yang again. I admire his achievements and greatness very much. I respect Sir Zhuo Yang very much. Zhuo Yang is very lucky. I am just complaining about Tu Lei."

If Saluk's words were reasonable and well-founded and won the resonance and sympathy of many people, but he was completely brainless when he brought Zhuo Yang along with him. Zhuo Yang is simply untouchable now, Tu Lei is nothing, and Saluk is not even a fart.

Once Zhuo Yang was involved, public opinion immediately reversed.
