Chapter 1031 Unknown Soldier

"The coach selection in our new season has not been eliminated yet?"

In the post bar of Guoen, a bar friend posted such a worry-filled post, which immediately attracted hundreds of replies and attracted the attention of fans in the post bar.

"Yes, there is still no news."

"I climbed over the wall and went outside to check it out. I found that many foreign media were paying attention, but there was no definite news. I guess the club should still be in the selection."

"It's not easy to choose a head coach, especially the head coach of the Chinese Super League. We don't like those with smaller cards. If we have bigger cards, we probably don't want to come. So, this kind of thing is very confusing."

"Well, actually, I really think it would be pretty good if we keep Manzano."

"Yes, I also think that Manzano played well last season and had experience in coaching the Chinese Super League. The team's strength has been significantly improved. I believe that the coaching level will definitely improve."

"Manzano... It's a pity that I went to Long Hai Shenhua, but this is no wonder the new team. After all, this decision was decided at the end of the season. Now the new team is going to urgently invite a coach, which is quite hasty."

"This summer, the team has made a lot of signings, and the team's strength has improved, but management has become even more difficult. If it weren't for the big-name coach, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to suppress this European star."

"Isn't this Bielsa still there? In terms of big names, who can compare to Bielsa in today's football world?"

"If you want me to say it, just let Bielsa be the head coach directly."

"You think, the management team thinks so too, but Bielsa has said a long time ago that after leaving the position of Saints, he will do research. When will he feel up to the mood and come out to coach again, now he has never thought about coaching Guoen."

"Besides, he came to Guoen because of the face of Young Master Huan, and came to help rectify youth training. His focus is on the youth training system, and he usually won't easily interfere in the first team."

At this time, a senior bar friend posted below and expressed his views on the incident.

"I'm right, I really think that Guoen's current management structure is more rigorous and more reasonable. But for some reason, I hope he won't be so reasonable and let Bielsa directly manage the team. That would be great."

"From the recent analysis of my analysis, combined with some of the words that Mr. Fang and Bielsa and others have been interviewed publicly, I think the team is really playing a big game of chess now, so why do you say that?"

"First of all, I think the team's current goal is to unify the style of the first team and youth training camp. Bielsa also said that the tactics of the first team will be further based on the past and incorporate more advanced ideas, such as high-level oppression."

"From this point, I think that the head coaches such as Benitez, Mazari, and Plandelli who are rumored by the media are indeed famous coaches, but they are not suitable for the team's development direction."

"However, we should also see that in European football, there are many teams pursuing this type of coach, so Guardiola is so popular. In this case, it is naturally very difficult to select a coach for Guoen, but once you choose the right one, you will basically not change it easily. After all, it is not easy to find a good coach of this type."

"I searched with the football manager's scouting tool myself and found that this type of head coach is basically famous and famous. It is not easy to invite him to coach the Chinese Super League."

"So, it's really hard to know how to operate and who to choose."

"I believe that Master Huan's connections and reputation in European football should have better choices."

This senior bar friend's long analysis immediately received unanimous praise and affirmation from the bar friend.

But when it comes to which head coach will be introduced, no one in the post bar that attracts nearly one million fans' attention has been able to give an answer because they can't get news from the club at all.

The biggest news is that a relative of a bar friend works in the Guoen team in Beijing, saying that the coach selection work is personally responsible for Young Master Huan. This is already the news that everyone in Tieba can get, and is the closest to the truth.

All the bar friends were very worried because there was not much time left before the league started. The team training was approaching, but the coach had not yet done it, which was really hard to rest assured.

Also? Although foreign players have introduced two superstars, Terry and Kaka, they have not yet been able to make up for the weak offensive end of the Guoen team, especially the two superstar recruits promised by the club, which have not yet been negotiated.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the post bar is generally pessimistic, for fear that the team will release the plane again.

However, there are also a group of loyal Young Master Huan fans who believe that with Young Master Huan's usual style, it is impossible to speak out without trust. The team's recruitment and coach selection need to be carried out step by step, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight, so you have to wait patiently.

It was at this moment that someone suddenly posted a post in the post bar.

"Oh my God, Guoen officially announced that the signing of the new coach is an unknown man?"

Countless bar friends clicked into the post and found that there were not only screenshots of Jingcheng Guoen’s official website in the post, which stated that Jingcheng Guoen officially signed Argentine coach Maolicio Pochettino.

For a moment, the post bar went crazy!

"Who is Pochettino?"

"What is this guy from? Have you never heard of it?"

"It seems a bit familiar. Have you coached La Liga before?"

"After you said that, I remembered it, it seemed, but I couldn't."

"I specially went to Baidu. Pochettino, forty-three years old, is a disciple of Bielsa. The peak of his coaching career was coaching the Spaniard. He performed well at one time, but he was soon dismissed because of poor performance. He then went to two or three teams in La Liga. His performance was not very ideal, and he is currently at home."

"Oh my God, no, right? Just such a coach? Isn't it a fool?"

"Not? After choosing, I actually chose an unknown pawn?"

"My God, don't bring such a playful person?"

"What's going on with Young Master Huan? He actually chose such an unknown pawn?"

"From my view, keep Manzano, or simply choose Benitez, Mazari and others, all better than him!"

However, there were also people in the post bar that protested.

"Since the coach was personally selected by Young Master Huan, I believe there will be no problem. Young Master Huan must have made a decision after careful consideration."

"Yes, Duma said too, the disciples of Bielsa, it can be seen that they should have been carefully selected."

"Who was the last disciple of Bielsa? Martino led Monaco to upgrade and entered the Champions League in the season of the newly promoted team. Now he coaches the Argentine national team!"

"It makes sense, Bielsa produces it, it must be a fine product!"

"Wrong, the one upstairs should be produced by Young Master Huan, and it must be a fine product!"

…………

…………

In just less than a day, the strange name Pochettino swept across China with lightning speed and became a popular term on the Internet and newspapers and magazines.

Maolicio Pochettino, a young coach who was not well-known before, suddenly became the head coach of the Beijing Guoen team, which is simply unbelievable.

Any foreign coach invited by the Chinese Super League team basically chooses famous coaches, especially in recent years, if you have not coached in the first-tier European leagues and have achieved certain results, you will be embarrassed to come to the Chinese Super League.

But Pochettino is not only young, but his resume is also very mediocre. The teams he coached basically ended in failure. The longest time was coaching Espanyol, but he ended up in shame.

Such a head coach deserves the star-studded Jingcheng Guoen?

Compared with other Chinese Super League teams, Lippi, Scolari, Eriksen and other world-class coaches, Pochettino is too shabby, right?

But what's interesting is that the fans are having fun, but the mainstream media are more cautious.

Among them, the Emperor of Football, who is popular among domestic fans, has specially launched a long article introducing Pochettino.

"After learning that Jingcheng Guoen signed Pochettino, Laoqiu immediately contacted several colleagues in the Spanish football industry. When they heard that Pochettino chose the Chinese Super League team, they were all shocked and shouted that it was impossible, but when they heard that it was Master Huan's team, they were relieved."

"According to what my Spanish colleagues told me, although Pochettino's coaching performance in La Liga is not very ideal, his reputation is extraordinary. When everyone mentions him, they will say that this is a talented head coach, but unfortunately, his luck is a little bad."

"As everyone knows, Pochettino's coaching philosophy is very similar to Bielsa. His first stop in his coaching career was Espanyol, but what many people don't know is that Pochettino took over in the 2019 season with his predecessor three wins, three draws and seven losses, and transition coach Mani two draws and three losses. At that time, Espanyol was deeply involved in the relegation zone."

"As a legendary player of the team, Pochettino lost 0-4 to Malaga away, becoming the biggest loss of Espanyol that season, and also put Pochettino under tremendous pressure."

"The team then drew 1-1 in three consecutive rounds, and then lost to Sevilla at home. Espanyol suffered a tragic 14 unbeatable games. To make matters worse, Espanyol ushered in the arrogant Barcelona at this time."

"Yes, it's the Dream Team that won the Grand Slam led by Guardiola."

"Barcelona was invincible at that time. Except for the first round of the league, he lost to Numancia away, in the remaining twenty-three games, Guardiola's team won 20 wins and three draws, and remained unbeaten!"

"Two deadly enemies in the city, one is a top giant with stars, invincible and invincible team, while the other is an ordinary relegation team hovering in the relegation zone, and at the Camp Nou. Everyone believes that Pochettino's team will suffer a crushing defeat."

"But the result was a shock, and Pochettino's team brought back a two-to-one victory from the away game."

"It's not just in the league, but in the Copa del Rey, Espanyol faced Barcelona in the two-leg quarter-finals knockout matches, Pochettino's team first drew Barcelona from zero to zero, and then 2 to three, regrettably losing to Camp Nou."

"Pochettino's team was behind zero to three and pushed Barcelona into a very embarrassing situation, and scored two goals in a row. In the end, if it weren't for the defender receiving a red card, would it be unknown whether Pochettino's team could have a surprise away game?"

"And it really made the Spaniards upset. Where did Barcelona's Dream Three Dynasty and Grand Slam come from?"

"Obviously these games have greatly stimulated Pochettino. Although Espanyol's performance has not improved since then, the smart Argentine head coach has been groping. In the last ten rounds of the league, Espanyol finally ushered in an explosion."

"In ten games, eight wins, one draw and one loss, Pochettino's team not only successfully relegated, but also jumped to the middle of the standings in one go. Pochettino also won attention and recognition with his outstanding performance during this period."

"In the next two seasons, due to Espanyol's overall strength, Pochettino's coaching performance was not outstanding, but he firmly guaranteed the team's ranking in the middle. However, what truly reflects the tactical qualities of the Argentine coach was in two matches against Barcelona."

"Camp Nou lost zero to one and stood at home to zero. This is Pochettino's report card against the arrogant Barcelona, ​​and even won the recognition of head coach Guardiola."

"So much so that Guardiola himself admitted that the game against Espanyol was the most difficult, Pochettino was a very outstanding head coach, and later he once said that he hoped Barcelona could play the beautiful, smooth and dynamic football style of Espanyol."

"From Guardiola's evaluation and Bielsa's affirmation, it is not difficult to find that Pochettino is not as mediocre as his coaching performance. On the contrary, he looks more like a young coach who is not satisfied with talent."

The Emperor of Football not only published such an article, but also translated news reports from many Spanish newspapers and consulted some people in Spanish football.

Only then did everyone realize that although Pochettino is not famous, he has a high evaluation in the Spanish football circle. There are even many famous coaches who regretted his experience in recent years and think that he is a very capable coach.

The official Beijing Guoen also made an explanation, saying that the team's signing of Pochettino was a well-thought-out decision, which can be seen from Pochettino's three-year coaching contract.

"We have said that once the head coach is selected, we will not easily shake our confidence in him. Pochettino is the choice we make now!"

With Fang Wei's resounding statement, although the controversy about Pochettino is still very large, it is a foregone conclusion.
