When he walked out of the gate of Princess Sophia Grand Hotel, Bach first looked to his left and then to his right. He saw a man holding up his camera to shoot at him, a reporter from the Daily Sports News.

But he didn't say anything, nor did he accept an interview, but smiled at the other party, turned around and walked west.

The reporter took a few more photos of Bach's back and then continued to squat nearby, because not long after, Messi's father Jorge also came out, and the reporter still did not go forward to interview. He still took a few photos from a place Jorge did not notice and then disappeared.

The whole process did not attract anyone's attention, and Jorge himself might not even know that he was secretly photographed.

While Jorge walked out of Princess Sophia Grand Hotel, Bach had turned up the mountain and soon arrived at a white palace-style building on the hillside. He took out the key from his pants, opened the door to the garden wall, and walked in.

Walking through the garden, the most eye-catching one is a room with transparent glass curtain walls on one side of the mansion. At this moment, two important figures for Barcelona are sitting here, on the low tables separated by them, with various drawings written on them, with dense soccer terms and various signs painted.

Baqi walked in the garden and looked at the two people in the room. He felt like a master and an apprentice.

When "Bach" heard the door ringing, Cruyff knew that the person coming was Bach, because except for his family, he was the only one with the key.

Guardiola heard Cruyff's voice, raised her head from the artwork, looked at Bach, and nodded slightly.

"How is it?" Cruyff asked with an indifferent smile.

Bach shook his head, "They decided to go to Manchester City. With 150 million euros in cash, plus 300,000 euros in weekly salary after tax, Manchester City, the nouveau riche, really wants to win a superstar at all costs.

After hearing this, Cruyff laughed, stood up from the sofa, and sighed softly, "It's normal. If you can't handle Kaka, if you don't win a superstar, Manchester City will completely lose face. Moreover, with the usual method of spending money on the Middle East, they will do this. It's not surprising that they just mine a few more barrels of oil? There is no other thing in the Middle East, oil, so much more left."

These words made Bach laugh, and even Guardiola couldn't help but raise her head.

"Ye Qiu seems to be based on the long-term, and I underestimated him at the beginning," Cruyff said with a sigh.

Once upon a time, he felt that Barcelona should have invited Ye Qiu to the team, but at that time he was far from his current power and prestige in the club. At least Laporta and some directors were still a bit slanderous to him. Otherwise, Ye Qiu would have been sitting in the head coach position of Barcelona.

"Maybe it's the price of forcing Messi to stay is too high." Guardiola also came over, and the three men stood in a font and basked in the sun.

Cruyff just smiled, "Tottenham Hotspur has never relied on Messi's team, so last season's Ribery, Messi this season, and even since Fanny three years ago, Ye Qiu has been reluctant to sell any star in the team, because he knows very well that once Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system is formed, no matter who is leaving, it will not affect the team. At least he can ensure the team's competitiveness in the Premier League."

System, which can almost be said to be the most highly praised and valued by all head coaches from the Netherlands. The system often represents overall football. Eleven players are running around one football. No one is indispensable. Everyone is just a part of the system and plays part of the role and function of the system.

"However, if Ye Qiu sells Messi, with his style, he should force Van Persie to stay," Guardiola said again.

Cruyff glanced at the proud disciple, his mouth twitched slightly, and a little dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it, "Do you really dislike Etoo so much?"

All Barcelona insiders know that Cruyff and Laporta admire Etoo, but Guardiola doesn't like the Cameroon striker. It's not his performance on the court, but his character and his big mouth.

When Guardiola heard Cruyff’s question, he did not answer. He knew his mentor very well. He knew that now he would talk more and answer more, and in the end he would only have a dispute. Once a dispute arises, he would definitely be the one who takes the initiative to make peace in the end.

"What if you don't like Etoo, what about Boyan?" Cruyff asked again.

But Guardiola still didn't say anything, stood aside and remained silent.

Seeing Cruyff getting angry, Bacci immediately laughed and interrupted, "Who said that if Messi would not sell Van Persie? According to me, as long as we handle the players and make some concessions on the transfer fee, I believe Van Persie will not be able to reject Barcelona's temptation because he is a Dutch."

Dutch football has always been closely linked with Barcelona, ​​so Barcelona has always had an undeniable temptation for Dutch players, and I believe Van Persie is the same.

Bach's words made Cruyff laugh. Although many people say that he has become a Catalan, in fact, he is still from the Netherlands and has a natural sense of closeness to Dutch players, not to mention that Van Persie is the type of player he admires very much.

"When Tottenham sold Messi, we poached Van Persie, Real Madrid snatched Ribery, Manchester United stolen Gareth Bale, Tottenham Hotspur's entire attack line was poached. Can this team continue to be so glorious in the Champions League next season?"

Bach's words immediately made Cruyff and Guardiola laugh again.

But soon, Cruyff shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate Ye Qiu. Sometimes I can't even figure out him. Whether it's transfer or game tactical arrangements, at least, I never dare to imagine that a Premier League team can even play such an outstanding offensive football in his hands."

But Bachi's words are not unreasonable. Tottenham Hotspur is very glorious, but it is precisely because of their glory that their players are targeted by many teams. As long as one is not handled well, the whole team may fall apart, and the team's combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced.

Teams such as Leverkusen, Valencia soon declined like this?

But I have to admire one thing, that is, even if these four major stars are all poached, Tottenham Hotspur can get at least a large amount of transfer funds, Messi alone will be 150 million, Ribery, Gareth Bale and Van Persie, each of the three players is valuable, and that will inevitably be an astronomical figure.

With such abundant funds, it is enough for Ye Qiu to rebuild a team.

Of course, Cruyff would never believe that Ye Qiu would sell all the stars in one go.

"By the way, Josep, think about how to teach a lesson | Have Tottenham Hotspur?" After eased the atmosphere of the two masters and apprentices, Bach immediately changed the topic. This is also an important reason why he was able to do so well in Barcelona.

In Bach's view, Cruyff is a little arrogant when he is older, especially in Barcelona. His long-term arrogance makes his arrogance even more obvious, whether it is for Laporta or Guardiola.

But Guardiola is not completely without his personality. He needs Cruyff's guidance and support in many things, but the two cannot agree on everything, and there will always be some differences.

For example, Guardiola doesn't like Etoo and Boyan very much, but Cruyff likes these two players very much.

"I plan to start the game and attack." Guardiola also changed the subject with the trend, and he was unwilling to have a strife with Cruyff. "As the teacher said, formulate a strategy, start the game with ten minutes, five minutes of attack, five minutes of closing, and a safe strategy. Even if you can't suppress Tottenham Hotspur, at least you can prevent them from entering the state."

Cruyff is also a smart person. He knows that he cannot completely control everything, so he is happy to take advantage of the situation and smiles: "Don't underestimate Ye Qiu. The most critical core factor in playing Tottenham Hotspur is to curb their offense. As long as they can block their offense, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely have problems with their defense."

Guardiola didn't say anything, but his expression looked a little unnatural, and he didn't like to play such negative tactics.

Of course, many people say that Barcelona's ball control tactics are a bit negative. After all, they have a lot of ball control rates in every game, but not many goals. This is seen by many people as another negative way of playing, but Guardiola doesn't think so, because possession of the ball represents the initiative, and Barcelona's offense is not strong. One very important reason is that frontcourt.

"They have problems with their defense, and our offense, especially in the frontcourt, which lacks a strong point to grab the ball." Cruyff has said this problem many times about the team. This is also an important factor in Barcelona's poor offense this season, that is, the lack of people in the frontcourt who can hold the ball.

Originally, Messi should be the most suitable candidate in the eyes of Cruyff and Guardiola, but now that the Argentine wants to go to Manchester City, Barcelona must find a way to plug this loophole in the next season.

"I plan to let Iniesta go up and play in the frontcourt," Guardiola said. "He can pass the threatening ball and have good breakthrough ability, so that he can better directly hit the opponent's defense in the frontcourt."

After hearing this, Cruyff sighed, "You still refuse to fight back."

Guardiola didn't say anything again, and his silence was actually a silent confrontation.

Perhaps, many times he uses this silence to swear his power, that is, he is the head coach of Barcelona

Sometimes, whether it is wise or not is one thing. It is another thing to stick to what you think and realize the football method in your mind, especially when your thoughts are tied to unwise, should you believe in others or yourself?

It depends on your opinion

In his previous life, Ye Qiu once saw a report from Ferguson's autobiography. In his autobiography, he said that one of the important reasons why Manchester United lost the 2009 Champions League final was that the hotel in Rome was too bad.

Ye Qiu also saw the posts on the forum. Many fans were still mocking Ferguson who could not afford to lose, and then mocking him, is it like this in all hotels in Rome?

One thing is certain, that is, not all, some hotel rooms are quite good, but many hotels that have been a little older have done quite badly in terms of sound insulation in the rooms.

As early as after Tottenham Hotspur entered the finals, Peter Kenion specially arranged personnel to go to Rome to find hotels. He himself had come to Rome for a few days and experienced the hotel recommended by the staff. What surprised him was that the hotels in Rome were really unsatisfactory.

"The sound insulation of several hotels I have stayed in is super bad. One of them is called Songshuyuan Palace Hotel. Do you know? Oh my god, in the middle of the night, I can hear the TV and talking in the next room, and even the squeaking sound of the bed shaking. I can't sleep without earplugs."

"What's even more terrifying is that the air conditioner is turned off at 11 o'clock in the evening, and the internet speed in the room is slow, and it also charges a fee, fifteen euros per hour, which is even easier to make than robbing a bank."

"But this is not the most outrageous. There is a hotel called Montemari Ixel near the Olympic Stadium. The wireless network is free, there is a swimming pool and the air conditioner will not be turned off. But the problem is that in the middle of the night, people run around in the corridor outside, and some children crying. What's even more terrifying is that someone knocked on my door at around 3 o'clock, which scared me."

There is no doubt that for Peter Kenion, the trip to Rome in just a few nights was definitely a nightmare. From his description, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff also fully and deeply realized how simple the facilities of some hotels in Rome are. Even some five-star hotels are still doing a very poor job in sound insulation.

Of course, Rome hotels have an advantage, which is relatively cheap. Although this is a city with very developed tourism, hotels are indeed not expensive, especially compared to London. Ye Qiu doesn't want his team to relive Ferguson's nightmare, and collectively unable to fall asleep the night before the Champions League final.

Finally, after careful selection, Tottenham Hotspur locked in a Cavalli Waldorf Resort in the west of the Vatican in Rome. This is a five-star hotel located on the top of Rome's highest mountain. It is a secluded location and is a great place to experience nature on vacation. In addition to being quiet and well-equipped, the scenery is also quite charming.

In this hotel, you can overlook Rome City and also see St. Peter's Basilica. In addition, the restaurant here is also top-notch in cooking. They promised Tottenham Hotspur to serve different cuisines according to the team's needs.

Staying in other hotels and staying in this resort hotel almost doubled, but considering the team's pre-match preparations, Ye Qiu finally chose to stay in this resort hotel, and the hotel also decided to give a certain price discount, but the premise is that Tottenham Hotspur has to promise to help them promote it on their official website and media interviews.

Many people say that there are many English football hooligans, but in fact, Italian fans may not be much better.

So, when Tottenham arrived in Rome, just got off the plane, hundreds of newspaper reporters and media gathered here. I believe that the team's sponsor Qatar Airways must be very happy at this moment, because Tottenham took photos of their planes and the signs on the plane.

Versace must have died of joy, because Tottenham arrived in Rome in their suits

These photos will appear in newspapers around the world tomorrow, as well as major news websites

The Roma Police Department specially arranged a team of men to follow Tottenham Hotspur 24 hours a day to protect the safety of everyone in the team. So when Tottenham Hotspur got off the plane, he immediately entered the bus and left the airport according to the arrangement of the organizing committee. When they walked out of the airport, they found that there were quite a few Tottenham Hotspur fans gathered outside the airport.

They all came to cheer for the team, and there were thousands of people picking up the plane at the airport.

From the airport to the hotel, you can see along the way, and there are promotional banners for the Champions League finals everywhere, but the bus may be walking on the perimeter, so you didn’t see too many fans gathering, nor did you see the warm final atmosphere. I believe that in the city or at the Olympic Stadium in the north, this atmosphere will be stronger.

It is said that the Rome Municipal Government has also launched a series of celebrations specifically for this Champions League final to attract fans and tourists. This final will attract at least 30,000 English fans to Rome, which will greatly promote the city's consumption and hotel tourism industry.

Of course, correspondingly, Rome officials have also improved the security guard level. Police can be seen at almost every intersection to ensure that the team arrives at the hotel without any mistakes and participate in the afternoon before the game to be familiar with the venue training

In the afternoon, when the team went to the Olympic Stadium for familiar training, the players' families and relatives arrived in Rome on Qatar Airways flights, which were also picked up by the police, and the journey was calm.

Even on that night, there was no Barcelona fans causing trouble in the hotel where the team stayed. After all, the hotel was on a remote mountain. If it weren't for someone familiar with Rome, it wouldn't be found.
