Red Rebels

6o The King of Football’s version of Journey to the West

Maradona was very changeable on the football field, which made it difficult for his opponents to mark him and allowed him to always make incredible technical moves and score goals. This seemed to be his label as a player.

But in life, Maradona is also fickle

One moment, he was angrily squeezing Aguero's neck, trying to teach him a lesson, but the next moment, he slapped Aguero hard on the shoulder. The Argentine coquettish boy was in pain. Grinning, but not daring to say anything, he stiffened up, obviously not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his prospective father-in-law.

"You're such a good boy, you even dare to date my daughter. I appreciate you." Maradona looked like a gangster boss. He put his arm around Aguero's shoulders and the two of them walked over together.

Xiao Yu looked at the two people walking over and felt that they were really born to be a family.

Maradona is .65 meters tall and Aguero is .7 meters tall. They are close to each other. However, Maradona is wide and fat and looks heavier. This makes everyone feel misunderstood when they see him. He should be more than this height, while Aguero is thinner. The two are close to each other, but they are about the same height, so there is no difference.

"Tmd, if those bastard reporters from Argentina's Outlet newspaper hadn't taken photos of you kissing, I wouldn't have known that you were in a relationship." Maradona sat down opposite Xiao Yu and scolded him carelessly. His own daughter and prospective son-in-law.

Maradona's daughter, named Gianna, immediately pulled Aguero to sit down next to her. The little bird leaned against Aguero snugly and glared at her father, obviously blaming him. Talking so vulgarly.

"Boy, I don't care what you are like now, but if you want to be my Maradona's son-in-law, you must at least be honest. You are not allowed to be sneaky again in the future, as if my daughter is shameful."

Faced with Maradona's scolding, Aguero could only nod submissively. This was not at all as majestic as he was on the court just now. He looked just like a poor child living in the shadow of the football king.

Xiao Yu always looked at the unique family in front of him with a smile. He thought this family was quite interesting, and even the fact that he was born next to Maradona was quite interesting.

Maradona has two daughters, Gianna is the younger daughter, and the eldest daughter is called Dalma. She is 0 years old this year. Some Argentine media once took the initiative to act as matchmakers. According to surveys, almost 90% of Argentines want Maradona to marry their daughters. To Messi, because the latter is recognized by all Argentinian fans as Maradona's successor.

Xiao Yu even felt that it was really difficult to explain the behavior of Argentine fans.

It’s very interesting, but it’s hard to hit one of the eight poles. But to a certain extent, it would be interesting if Messi became Maradona’s son-in-law and the family produced two golf champions.

Recently, when reporters took photos of Maradona's youngest daughter kissing Aguero, they even joked that Maradona's two daughters were married to Messi and Aguero at the same time, so that the family could be raised. Three ball champions.

Although Aguero is Kaka's substitute in the Red Rebels, his strength and potential are undoubted. He is a regular player of the Argentina national team. He is young but has rich game experience. He has already He has won many honors on behalf of the Red Rebels and is the most promising new star in European football.

But anyone who really knows the inside story knows that Messi has a good girlfriend who is currently studying at the University of Manchester, and Maradona’s eldest daughter Dalma also has a boyfriend, and she accompanied Maradona to Germany to watch the World Cup. , even fought with the fans for Maradona.

"Diego, things are not as good as they were back then," Xiao Yu said jokingly.

Maradona curled his lips and said, "I know it too. Otherwise, if I go back to those days, I will definitely fight this kid. Tmd, my daughter just turned 8 years old. They started dating my daughter the year before last. At that time My daughter is only 6 years old..." After saying that, Maradona still glared at Aguero.

Aguero immediately did not dare to vent his anger and looked at Xiao Yu for help.

Xiao Yu couldn't stop laughing and shaking his head, as if to say, you deserve it. You dare to kidnap an underage girl. You really deserve to be kicked. But after all, Aguero is still a player of his own club.

"Okay, okay, you guys go out for a walk, Mr. Xiao and I will talk about something."

Aguero and Gianna immediately fled the scene as if they had received amnesty. Xiao Yu and Maradona couldn't help laughing when they saw their appearance, but Xiao Yu saw more, he I saw true emotion in Maradona's eyes.

This is a man of true temperament

"Diego, you didn't come to Manchester just to watch a game and teach Aguero a lesson, right?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

Maradona laughed and nodded: "I heard from people that Mr. Xiao is very good at reading people and has discovered many top players and many powerful coaches. I didn't believe it in the past, but After coming to Manchester and watching a game, I believed it."

The outside world highly praises Xiao Yu, and even many authoritative media ranked him first when selecting the best football club managers in the world. He has unearthed unknown talents in Argentina. player, and treated him for growth diseases; later he generously paid for the Brazilian teenager's surgery; and later he brought the frustrated little translator to the Red Rebel Stadium.

These three people have now become the most prominent figures in today's football, namely Messi, Kaká and Mourinho.

In addition, people like Ronaldinho, Juninho, Curtis, Terry, Essien, Fabregas, Drogba... everyone has to admit that Xiao Yu's vision is very accurate, as if He can predict the future, and any player he takes a fancy to will immediately be worth a hundred times as much.

This is why many media are now paying attention to Asha. The Russian is another star selected by Xiao Yu. Although he is different from the stars Xiao Yu has promoted in the past, Asha is already 6 years old, but is he another star? A late-blooming talent?

"The Argentine Football Association is already dissatisfied with Basile and they are looking for a new head coach," Maradona said lightly.

Xiao Yu frowned, and immediately thought of something, and laughed jokingly, "It seems that Diego intends to come back."

Maradona was a little embarrassed. He couldn't tell that Xiao Yu was joking on him.

If we talk about Maradona's coaching history, it can be traced back to 1994. At that time, he and his old friend Fren coached the Mendiu team of the Argentine League. The result was 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, which was very bad, even It can be said that it was a failure, but he was not willing to accept it after that. He continued to coach the Atletico team in the Argentine League. The results were slightly better, with 6 wins, 5 losses, and the same failure.

After that, Maradona never had any coaching experience, which made Maradona's life very embarrassing. According to Pele, Maradona once asked Pele to help him, but he Maradona gave a rebuttal, but it is unclear who is right and who is wrong.

Now Maradona no longer needs to worry about life, but it can be seen that he is a bit ambitious for the position of Argentina's head coach.

Brazile's biggest failure is the Copa America. For a team like Argentina, losing to Brazil in the Copa America final will completely overturn all his previous results, especially regarding Brazile's use of Messi. It became the biggest mistake that Argentine fans criticized Basile.

While Kaká was shining throughout the Copa America, Palacio and Messi in the Argentine team failed to show their due strength. The entire Argentine team also reached the finals with bumps and bumps, but: o failed miserably. At the feet of the Brazilians, this also made people realize that Brazile simply cannot display the strength of the stars, especially Messi.

Messi, who was omnipotent in the Red Rebels, performed poorly in the Argentine national team. Not only that, he still trusted Riquelme, but Riquelme performed poorly in the game.

There is no doubt that Riquelme is talented, but his performance in the European arena was not ideal. Although he performed well in the Argentine league, he never showed his due strength in the national team, which made him become everything The weapon used to attack Basile.

Now it seems that Brazile's journey with the Argentina national team will also come to an end.

"I have always felt that Argentina's biggest problem does not lie in their technology or their ability, but in here and here." Maradona pointed to his heart and temples and said very solemnly.

"We need a soul, an Argentinian soul"

Xiao Yu couldn't believe it. In his previous life, he had a mixture of expectations and doubts about Maradona's coaching of the Argentina national team. As a result, his subsequent trip to the World Cup in South Africa made him very disappointed with Maradona's coaching level. , but what he didn't expect was that what Maradona saw was the other side of the matter.

1994 World Cup in the United States, Argentina's top 6 knockout round: lost to Romania; 1998 France World Cup, Argentina's top 8 knockout round: lost to the Netherlands; 2000 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Argentina was eliminated in the group stage; 2006 World Cup in Germany, Argentina's top 8 knockout round Lost to Germany again.

If there is a curse in this world, then Argentina has undoubtedly been infected with the curse of the top eight. With the staffing of such a team and the quality and strength of Argentine players, they can compete with Brazil, but they Having failed in the top 8 for many years in a row, is this really just luck?

Perhaps Argentina has won other honors here, but as the most important stage in world football and one of the most appealing national teams in today's football, Argentina has been unable to surpass the top 8 in the four World Cups. Is it true that there are no other factors?

Maradona undoubtedly saw this. As a country with the best stars in the world, the Argentina national team does not lack strength. What they lack is just a heart and their thoughts. They need a soul.

But is this soul really Maradona?

Xiao Yu was a little skeptical about this, because in his previous life, Argentina once again failed to reach the top 8, and was also bloodbathed by the German team in 0:4, and Maradona resigned because of this, which impressed everyone very deeply.

Maybe, in the field of football, there really is fate and curse

Seeing Maradona's fiery eyes, Xiao Yu smiled and pointed at his head, "I don't think the biggest obstacle is to transform from a great player to an excellent head coach. The level of coaching lies here.”

"Great players have to show their strength and prove themselves by playing on the court, but excellent head coaches, even qualified head coaches, the way they show themselves is to train their players and stimulate the players' strength. Rather than taking it for granted, players should play according to their own standards."

Assume that Maradona really becomes the head coach of Argentina. He uses his understanding of football and his familiarity with the players to design a suitable set of tactics, and instills this set of tactics into the players so that they can follow these tactics. Implement tactics.

In Maradona's understanding, this tactic is excellent, and can even be said to be perfect, but that is his understanding. As everyone knows, to perfectly understand and execute this tactic, you need a Maradona, but in the world Bringing so many Maradona?

The biggest obstacle for the head coach is how to let the players understand and implement their own tactics. This requires the tactics to be player-oriented, not the head coach. Otherwise, the players will not be familiar with the tactics designed by Maradona. If you don’t understand, it will be all in vain in the end.

This is why it is often difficult for great stars to become a great head coach, because they are unable to achieve this role change. Instead, they are head coaches who have no professional resume or whose careers are not brilliant. , their tactical ideas are more easily accepted and understood by players.

Maradona is a smart man and naturally knows the meaning of Xiao Yu's words. He can also understand how difficult this change is. After all, he has had two unsuccessful coaching careers before, so he knows his own situation very well. defect.

"That's why, Mr. Xiao, I came to Manchester"

"Oh?" Xiao Yu was a little strange.

Maradona smiled, "I hope to receive training in the coaching training class established by the Red Rebels. At the same time, I also hope to get an internship opportunity here in the Red Rebels. Mourinho is one of my I respect the coach very much, the Red Rebels are also the best team in football today, and I think I can get what I want here."

Xiao Yu immediately became panicked. It was not that he did not welcome Maradona, but that he was afraid that Maradona would learn the essence of the Red Rebels. In fact, no one can steal the essence of the Red Rebels, not even Murry. Even Neo can't do it. After all, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of many people and cannot be done by one person.

The key point is that Xiao Yu is afraid that Maradona, who is the world's top player, actually asked to be an intern coach for the Red Rebels. This is so surprising, even a bit...

how to say? Maradona is the king of football and the player Xiao Yu respects the most. Now he comes to his territory to learn from him. This has to be said to be surprising, but it is also hard to refuse.

Isn't this just like the football king's version of Journey to the West?
