"Get a drink" Ye Qiu's voice sounded beside Guardiola's ears.

"Oh, sorry, I won't drink." Guardiola, who was originally sitting in the visiting team's coach's seat, waved his hand like a conditioned reflex, but soon, he saw Ye Qiu holding a cup of instant coffee in his hand, and the outside of the paper cup was a very simple brown GO.

"Thank you" he raised his hand, took the cup of coffee from Ye Qiu's hand, and leaned over to his mouth and took a sip. It was a bit hot, so he held the coffee in both hands, looked ahead, without saying anything.

After the game, many fans in the stands had left the stadium one after another, while the staff began to clean up the aftermath. Some temporary workers and volunteers were cleaning up garbage and debris in the stands, wiping the seats at the same time. Below were the stadium administrators leading the team to clean up the turf and fill the potholes.

This is a very important task and an indispensable part of the maintenance of turf.

"Don't you have to stay with the players?" Guardiola felt a little silent and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Tottenham Hotspurs broke the opponent 0 at home, and Tottenham Hotspur has almost advanced to the finals early. In this case, I believe that all Tottenham Hotspur players and staff are celebrating. At this time, as the team's head coach, Ye Qiu should be with the players and enjoy the joy of this victory.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, "I think it must be a very bad thing to see a serious head coach when the players are very indulgent and happy. So I usually hide far away at this time. If possible, I will even consider flying back to Mars."

Although Guardiola didn't know that flying to Mars was related to a very interesting joke on the Chinese Internet, he couldn't help laughing. His originally depressed mood gradually became much cheerful. He picked up the coffee cup in his hand and took another sip. He felt that the taste was a bit special, so he took a look at the GO on the paper cup.

"Costa" Guardiola clearly left an impression of this GO.

"The British local coffee giant has developed very fast in recent years and is also a sponsor of our Tottenham Hotspur." Ye Qiu explained with a smile that at Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane Stadium and Theobord training base, only Costa's coffee and their shops are specially used to serve fans.

And after Tottenham Hotspur takes over Stratford Stadium, Costa will open the largest flagship store in London at Stratford Stadium. The venue has been selected, just in front of Yezi Technology's Data Cloud and Zhenhua Building. The rent for the venue alone will be as high as 10 million pounds per season, and if sponsorship is added, it will be as high as 15 million pounds.

Of course, Yezi Technology has to promise and guarantee that Costa’s coffee will only appear in Stratford Stadium in the future, and they will provide their coffee to all fans who come to the scene. You should know that the capacity of Stratford Stadium is as high as 80,000 people, and according to Tottenham Hotspur’s conservative estimate, the average attendance rate is at least 70,000.

Just think about it, there are two games a week, and 140,000 people stay in this stadium for three hours, and their food and drink will be completed on the stadium during this period, which is a huge potential benefit for the stadium shops.

Although Guardiola is not very familiar with business, he has heard people mention Tottenham's business operations more than once. There are also reports that in order to create the best stadium experience for the team, Tottenham will invest more than 100 million pounds to renovate the stadium after taking over the new stadium, which is very costly.

Perhaps, for Tottenham Hotspur fans, entering the stadium is no longer just for watching the game and winning, but for a unique feeling and experience.

"Can you ask you a question?" Guardiola asked looking at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu smiled, "That question that bothers you to sit here and think about it?"

Guardiola nodded, and after getting Ye Qiu's nod, he spoke: "What do you think will you do when a team loses balance?" But after asking this question, Guardiola felt a little stupid, because judging from Ye Qiu's actions in the past few years, he was taking the same route as Ferguson.

Ye Qiu did not rush to answer, but walked to the other side of the visiting team coach's seat, sat down, and thought, "Actually, I think the solution to everything in this world is a kind of compromise. Only those who know how to compromise can survive in this world for a long time."

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered the Costa coffee in his hand, "Do you know? Although Costa coffee became famous in the UK and founded in London, it was founded by a pair of Italian brothers. They brought authentic Italian coffee, from recipes to roasting techniques, but they also added some considerations of local British flavors to form a unique coffee recipe."

"You go outside and ask, the British people on 90 like Costa coffee. In their opinion, this is no longer Italian coffee, but their British ones," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

The British have a strong xenophobic mood, and they are still immersed in the glory of the empire that year, so they have a subconscious mind that they are the best mentality, and so is coffee.

"What I want to say is that if Costa did not consider the tastes of British consumers, he would not have the success in the UK now. This is a compromise with the British market, and this compromise also applies to the team and players. Each side needs to compromise. So when a problem arises, it must be when this compromise is destroyed. Then you have to figure out who is destroying this compromise and how should it be compensated?"

Seeing Guardiola's expression tilted his head again, Ye Qiu knew that such ambiguous remark would not satisfy him, so he smiled, "I have always felt that evil tigers cannot hold up the wolves."

Guardiola got the answer he wanted, which was not beyond his expectations, but he still couldn't calm down because he felt that he needed to explore and think about some problems again.

"I have decided to leave Barcelona." Guardiola chuckled as if she was about to be relieved.

"Congratulations" Ye Qiu smiled and congratulated.

But, is this a kind of congratulation?

Guardiola laughed twice, "But I'm thinking about another question, what are you looking for?"

I believe this is also a question that all professional head coaches in the world, or that is, what are you looking for when Ye Qiu is trying and exploring constantly?

"Once upon a time, I wanted to find a tactical system that can ensure the prosperity of the team leader." This should be considered a kind of psychology that Ye Qiu had in the first two or three years of coaching Tottenham Hotspur, "But later I gradually realized and discovered a problem, that is, we should not let such a system bind our footsteps."

"I initially thought that a system was a good thing, but later I found another problem, that is, when you rely too much on a system, you can easily become self-confidant, because when I sell a player, I will try every means to find a player with a similar technical style to fill this loophole and continue to maintain this system."

When Guardiola heard this, he nodded constantly. That's what he did in Barcelona.

"But do you find that at the beginning, this system was full of passion and vitality, and a kind of creative creativity, but when it takes longer, such as two years, three years, or a little longer, when everyone is familiar with this system and knows everything here, they will feel bored."

"When everyone has this boredom, this system loses his original passion and vitality and becomes a stagnant pool. Although he seems strong on the surface, he is actually very fragile because he cannot stand the test and fail. More importantly, it blocks itself in a dead end without any ahead."

Guardiola understands Ye Qiu's meaning, and to put it in a widely popular proverb in Europe, it is that since you think it's good, there is no need to change it.

So when a team wins the championship and honors, the first thing they do is to keep the team's championship team and core strength, and want to work hard to maintain such a stable system, but the final result of doing so must be failure. The reason is very simple. Before winning the championship, he was full of honor and passion, but after winning the championship, he was a stagnant pool.

"What do you mean is that you want to give up the entire tactical system now?" Guardiola felt that Ye Qiu's view of the system was very negative.

But after hearing this, Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled. He found that people in Europe and the United States believed in zero-sum games, either black or white, without a middle ground, just like Guardiola. Ye Qiu said that the system was not good, so he felt that Ye Qiu wanted to give up the system, but in fact, Ye Qiu didn't say anything before that he wanted to give up the system. He was just listing the disadvantages and defects of the system.

Everything in the world has two sides, one is good and the other is bad. If you only see his bad side and you have to abandon him, then you will commit suicide. If you only see the good side, that won’t work, so you need to balance and compromise.

"The system is a good thing, there is no doubt that I mean, I want to find an effective method and mechanism to avoid the weaknesses and disadvantages of the system while giving full play to the advantages of the system."

After a pause, Ye Qiu said again: "During my exploration and searching, I clearly discovered that there is no tactical system in this world that can last forever. A set of tactics can only guarantee a peak for a year at most. After the peak, you have to change. If you don't change, it will force you to change."

Guardiola is very clear about this, so he has actually changed in the past season, from the original four defender to the third defender, from the original 433 to the 34, he has been seeking change.

"If you change, you need fresh blood, so I found that the tactical system is too closed. Because it is too closed, it is difficult for you to find the right fresh blood to replenish the team and bring freshness and stimulation to the team, but it is not possible to be too open, because it becomes loose as soon as it is opened, and it is easy to become very dispersed, so you should be moderate

"The same is true for the team's style, just like Barcelona, ​​you are obsessed with controlling the ball for more than ten years. It is indeed not easy, but is this model difficult? No, as long as you have determination and belief, you can persist, but the problem is that it is difficult for you to find players in the transfer market that meet your tactical needs, especially the central axis."

"But, my team can have Fabregas and David Silva, it can be compatible with Vidal and Ramsey, and I can even be compatible with British players like Phil Jones. I don't have to worry about not finding the right fresh blood, because I can adjust our tactics and systems according to the players. Can Barcelona?"

This is like a switch socket. A double-hole socket can only be inserted into a double-hole plug. A three-hole socket is divided into a round head and a flat head, and can only correspond to a three-hole plug with a round head and a flat head. Therefore, their choice is very limited and they can only be used in the right position. However, a universal socket has no concerns in this regard. It can be inserted into most plugs.

In the past few years, Ye Qiu has gradually realized a problem, that is, the secret of maintaining the prosperity of a team leader is definitely not whether the team has a set of the most brilliant, best and advanced tactical system, because this is not only not a booster, but a stumbling block.

The secret to truly maintaining the prosperity of a team leader is whether this team has a sufficiently reasonable and advanced recruitment mechanism that introduces fresh blood, which can ensure that the team maintains competitiveness and freshness for a long time.

Therefore, the tactical system must not be too closed and self-centered. Youth training should be paid attention to, but the players should be trained and crafted in a diversified manner. But at the same time, you must be compatible with high-level players brought in from outside to make up for the team's weaknesses and shortcomings.

It’s like playing mahjong. It doesn’t matter what cards you get. What’s important is whether you can score cards. This is the key to winning cards.

From this point of view, Ye Qiu was very clear that Tottenham Hotspur could not learn from Barcelona, ​​nor could they hold on to a tactical system, but should appropriately let go of their arms and introduce fresh external blood and stimulation.

This is also the reason why he sold Fabregas and David Silva last summer. The reason is very simple. Continuing to take the delicate midfield ball control route is not conducive to Tottenham Hotspur establishing a risk-resistant mechanism and a signing mechanism, so he introduced Vidal and Pirlo to support Ramsey to play the main players.

"I think, I understand a little bit." Guardiola breathed a deep breath. He was really impressed by Ye Qiu now, because he found that Ye Qiu walked further than he imagined, and the problems Ye Qiu was thinking more deeply and thoroughly than he imagined, and there were even many of them that he had never thought about and thought about in the past.

Sometimes Ye Qiu thought that Barcelona is like Microsoft in the high-tech field. It was once extremely powerful, but it was on the verge of downhill. Everyone could see it, but they themselves were working hard to continue this strength.

"I lost this game and it's not unfair." Guardiola stood up from the seat. He found that the Costa coffee in his hand was cold, but he felt warm in his heart. Especially after listening to Ye Qiu's words, he seemed to have a renewed hope and passion.

He was eager to confirm and challenge Ye Qiu's ideas and ideas. Even if Ye Qiu was ahead of him, he still hoped to catch up and see what was ahead. The result was not important to him. What was important was that on the road of catching up, the charming scenery along the two sides of the straits were what he wanted.

I believe it's not just me, Ye Qiu, Ferguson, Wenger and others are the same, because they all pursue it.

"It is difficult for Barcelona to change the current situation. There is no such motivation, no such courage, and no such idea. So, I think I can leave here, rest for a while, go to other places, and go to a more novel environment to challenge and exercise myself."

A bright smile appeared on Guardiola's face, and his depressed emotions over the past period were wiped out.

"No matter what, I am very grateful to you for telling me so much, and I benefited a lot." Guardiola looked at Ye Qiu sincerely and said.

Two people once guided him on the road he coached, one was Barcelona godfather Cruyff, and the other was the madman Bielsa. He once went to Argentina to visit Bielsa. The two discussed a lot of things about football, and Guardiola also learned a lot of lessons from it

But Bielsa is more obsessed with tactical and ideological levels. Cruyff is slightly better, but he also has his own persistence, such as possessing the ball, while Ye Qiu seems less persistent. He is more tolerant, more open, and more creative. More importantly, his role as a club owner and head coach makes his viewing and thinking about problems obviously different from that of Cruyff and Bielsa.

He is not only obsessed with tactical and ideological levels, but also thinking about the team's long-term operation and healthy development.

Perhaps, only people like Ye Qiu who have achieved brilliant results in the two different roles of the boss and the head coach can have such insights and thinking.

Ye Qiu also stood up and smiled, "There is no need to thank me, just think you owe me a favor."

This made Guardiola stunned.

"In the future, when I leave the position of head coach, maybe one day I will call you and invite you to coach Tottenham Hotspur. You can't say no at that time."

Only then did Guardiola understand, laughed, nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I agree, I'll wait for your call." After saying that, he waved to Ye Qiu, turned around and walked back to the player's passage.

Looking at his back, Ye Qiu just smiled because he found that one day in the future, when Guardiola gets fully trained in other leagues and accumulates enough experience, and his coaching ability is improved and transformed, what kind of scene will this Spaniard coach Tottenham Hotspur?

Of course, Ye Qiu knew very well that his successor was Mauro Tassoti, because this Italian was very different from him. He could bring some new things and changes to Tottenham Hotspur, but Mauro Tassoti could not stay in this position for many years, because it was not a good thing after too long.
Chapter completed!
