Chelsea's Manager Pays a Visit!

Seeing the Werder Bremen players celebrating their victory at their home stadium, the expression on Bayern's president Rummenigge's face was grim.

The season wasn't over yet, and his team had already lost a championship.

Although the German Cup is not as prestigious as the league championship or the Champions League.

But winning it, along with the other two championships, would have secured them a treble.

No team in Bundesliga history had ever achieved this feat, although other leagues had seen it happen.

As the face of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich naturally felt obligated to defend the league's honor.

Unfortunately, after losing at home to Werder Bremen, their dream of the treble was shattered.

Such a rare opportunity missed, who knows when it would come again.

"Hehe, there's no need to be so pessimistic, Mr. President."

On the other side of the box, Guardiola spoke with a smile:

"Bayern's team is strong, their peak period can last a few more years, there's still a chance next year!"

"And now, with the cup competition out of the way, the team can focus more on the league and the Champions League, doesn't that increase our chances of winning the Champions League?"

Rummenigge managed a smile, admitting that Guardiola had a point.

But he was still worried, Guardiola's coaching style was quite different from Heynckes.

Bayern might need some time to adjust after the change of coaches.

During this period, it might be difficult for them to make an impact in the Champions League.

Therefore, this year was their best chance.

"Pep, the winter break is about to start, I hope you can sign with the team soon so that Sammer and Hoeness can help you with transfers and get you involved in building the team for next season!"

Since the topic was brought up, Rummenigge followed through, urging Guardiola to sign the contract with Bayern soon.

"Thank you for your concern and support, Mr. President. I'll sign my name on the contract before the transfer period ends, please don't worry!"

Rummenigge's face finally showed a hint of a smile, reassured by the specific timeline.

...

Werder Bremen didn't celebrate for too long at Allianz Arena, the Bayern fans were still upset!

Celebrating right under their noses, they were afraid that the fans might jump over the barriers and rush onto the field to beat them up...

On the sidelines, Schaaf and his colleagues and the substitutes embraced one another, then he walked over to the home team's coach's bench to shake hands with the old coach Heynckes, exchanging a few polite words.

"Your team played great, you deserved this victory!"

Although Heynckes had lost, he did not lose the demeanor of a seasoned coach, generously congratulating the opponent.

"Thank you for your praise, your team is strong, surely they will triumph in the Champions League this year!"

Schaaf, seeing the other's courtesy, also returned a few compliments.

The two shared a smile, then turned back, one to join his players in celebration, the other to console his saddened team.

On the field, Martínez found Lin, wanting to swap jerseys with him.

Having seen Lin's prowess in the national team, facing him on the field still surprised Martínez with his strength.

This guy, it feels tough to defend against him when watching others do it, and it was no easier when he tried himself, using all his skills and still not managing to completely stop him.

This game had really impressed Martínez!

Some people are just born geniuses, different from the rest!

Lin naturally did not refuse Martínez's request, quickly taking off his jersey and handing it over.

Martínez handed over his own jersey while sneaking a glance at Lin's legs.

Cough, he wondered if the bruises there were from his kicks, should he apologize or something?

Although he didn't play dirty, he had tackled him several times during the game.

Thinking about this, his disappointment from the loss dissipated quite a bit.

Lin, however, didn't notice Martínez's subtle actions, thanks to his injury talent, the bruises on his legs didn't look so severe.

Also, during the intense game, a large amount of adrenaline was secreted, raising his pain threshold; at that moment, his nerves were excited and he didn't feel the pain.

He'd probably feel it once he settled down.

But right now, he wasn't thinking about that, because the long winter break was officially beginning!

The day the game ended, the club announced that the team was disbanded for the winter break.

Lin had packed his bags before coming to Munich for the game.

After the game, he could just leave directly by plane from there.

But just as

 the team had started their holiday, he received a call from Guardiola.

He thought Guardiola was still on vacation, calling him at this time probably to confirm his itinerary.

But unexpectedly, Guardiola was actually in Munich; after giving his address, it wasn't long before Guardiola showed up at his door.

"Uh, Pep, what are you doing here?"

Lin had just seen photos of Serra and Guardiola vacationing in the Mediterranean, and unexpectedly ran into him in Munich right after.

"Cough, some work stuff, I didn't come especially for your game!"

Seeing Lin's skeptical look, Guardiola hurriedly explained.

If he hadn't explained, it might have been better; this explanation made Lin even more certain: this guy had indeed come specifically for his game!

"Work stuff, you mean you signed with Bayern?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"Isn't it obvious? You're a well-known coach in football, currently unemployed, and Bayern's old coach is retiring, looking for a suitable main coach all over the world, it's only natural for the two of you to hit it off and for Bayern to invite you to be the main coach!"

"Hehe, guess you got it right, Bayern does indeed want to hire me for next season!"

"So, you agreed?"

"Uh, there's no reason to refuse, is there?"

Lin had guessed as much, but hearing Guardiola confirm it in person still felt significant:

Guagua, do you know, your nickname "Ou Si Lang" started from Bayern?

"Alright, actually, Bayern also extended an invitation to me, and if nothing goes wrong, I'll also transfer to Bayern next season!"

"Yeah, I know, your Uncle Pere told me about it, that's also a major reason why I decided to sign with Bayern!"

A major reason? Not the decisive reason?

Guatu, I'm giving you a chance to rephrase that!

Seeing Lin's look, Guardiola quickly explained:

"Uh, maybe not that important, I mainly signed with Bayern because their lineup is very strong, the players meet my requirements, and I haven't challenged the Bundesliga yet, so I became interested, it's not because of you that I signed with Bayern!"

I give you a chance to explain, and you explain like this?

Lin was speechless!

Who would have thought, you big-browed Guardiola, you're actually a tsundere!

But when you keep praising Messi in front of the reporters, becoming the chief Messi fan, how come you don't know how to hide your affection for Messi then?

...

In the capital of England, London, inside the Chelsea club, the Russian owner Abramovich's face was as dark as water.

He was holding the latest issue of the Daily Mail, which reported an explosive news:

Former Barça coach Guardiola is in contact with Bayern Munich!

The report also included a photo of Guardiola and the Bayern chairman together in a box at Allianz Arena.

This news wiped out Abramovich's good mood from the morning!

Abramovich is a very impatient person, since Mourinho left, in pursuit of better results in Europe, he had rapidly changed 7 head coaches.

The current head coach, Roberto Di Matteo, was the assistant coach under the former head coach Boas, and took over the team temporarily after Boas was fired by Abramovich.

But his luck was very good, under his coaching, Chelsea won the Champions League.

So, Di Matteo, who was supposed to hand over his duties and leave at the end of the season in May, was still sitting in the main coach's seat at Chelsea in the new season.

Although Abramovich is impatient, he is also a person who values past connections.

Di Matteo led the team to the Champions League victory he had longed for, he really didn't have the heart to immediately fire him and kick him out, even if Di Matteo's coaching level wasn't that good.

But Abramovich actually didn't like Di Matteo, he felt that someone who was worthy of his team must be a world-class head coach, like Guardiola.

Abramovich has been pursuing Guardiola, and the whole football world knows it.

Like buying star players, Abramovich likes to buy those coaches with outstanding coaching records, beautiful playing styles, who can bring beautiful football to the audience and bring honor to the team.

And in today's football world, there are few famous coaches who meet his requirements.

Guardiola is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!

According to British media reports, since 2010, Abramovich had invited Guardiola several times.

But unfortunately, Guardiola declined him.

Think about it, Guardiola was doing well at Barça, with excellent results, there's no reason to give up Barça to work for him at Chelsea.

After all, his strictness with head coaches and his notorious reputation for firing coaches are no secret in football.

If it weren't for the high salary,

 which famous coach would want to come to Stamford Bridge?

Abramovich had almost given up, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn—Guardiola resigned from Barça!

So, Abramovich once again set his sights on Guardiola.

But unexpectedly, Guardiola ended up hooking up with Bayern, which made Abramovich feel like he was being robbed of his love.

"Send someone to visit Guardiola again, extend an invitation, as long as he agrees to coach Chelsea, he can write any number he wants on the paycheck!"

Abramovich didn't believe that there really was a problem in the world that money couldn't solve.

If there was, then it must be because not enough money was offered!

He could spend tens of millions of pounds to buy players, of course, he wouldn't mind paying the same high salary to hire a famous coach.

Currently, the top salary for coaches is 10 million euros, to get Guardiola, he was willing to offer him a salary of 15 million or even 20 million.

Hearing the boss's words, Chelsea's manager Emenalo secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The club's owner likes famous coaches, especially fond of Guardiola, this is no secret within the club.

But Guardiola is not keen on Chelsea, and this kind of thing, money might not be able to solve.

If their target was Mourinho, then Chelsea might have some confidence, after all, he had a past connection with Chelsea.

Thinking about this, Emenalo was a bit puzzled.

When Mourinho coached the team, apart from not winning the Champions League, the other results weren't bad.

Even Chelsea's current defensive system was built during his coaching period.

Last year Chelsea won the Champions League, Mourinho's contributions were indispensable.

Mourinho wasn't doing well at Real Madrid, there had been rumors before that Real Madrid's patience with Mourinho had reached its limit.

If Real Madrid couldn't make a breakthrough in the Champions League this season, the Portuguese might be fired.

In that case, for Chelsea, this was a great opportunity.

As long as they extended an invitation to Mourinho, he might agree to return to Stamford Bridge and rekindle the old flame with Chelsea.

But Abramovich seemed uninterested in inviting Mourinho back, which made him very puzzled.

Mourinho and Guardiola are currently the two biggest names in football, why does Abramovich only favor Guardiola?

Abramovich's temper isn't too good, and now he's furious, Emenalo didn't dare to persuade him.

He could only obediently execute the task assigned by the other party.

To show Chelsea's sincerity, Emenalo decided to visit in person.

He flew to Spain himself, brought gifts to Guardiola's home, and rang the doorbell, standing outside nervously waiting.

Hopefully, Guardiola hadn't gone out on vacation, otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to find him.

Fortunately, his luck wasn't bad, Guardiola was at home.

"May I ask who you're looking for?"

Emenalo saw a seventeen-year-old teenager wearing a soccer jersey, holding a soccer ball, apparently about to go out to play soccer.

"Are you Lin?"

Emenalo was startled for a moment, feeling the teenager looked familiar, then recognized that he was the young player highly recommended by the De Visser scouts a few days ago.

How does he live in Guardiola's house?

What's his relationship with Guardiola?

The fact that Lin is Guardiola's adopted son is not very well known in football.

It's not strange for Emenalo to have such doubts.

"Are you looking for me?"

Lin didn't recognize the person in front of him, but during this time, there had been many scouts coming to his door trying to contact him, so he thought Emenalo was one of them.

"I'm here to find Mr. Guardiola, but since you're here too, maybe we can also talk about your contract?"

Lin was a bit surprised, this guy's information was a bit outdated, Guardiola and Bayern had been eyeing each other for so long, and now he came to find someone, isn't it too late?

"Pep, someone's looking for you!"

Lin politely invited the person into the house, poured him a cup of tea.

Although he wasn't optimistic about the other party's attempt to dig Guardiola, the decision was in Guardiola's hands, he wouldn't make decisions on his behalf.

Guardiola was upstairs reading the newspaper, hearing the noise in the living room, he ran down the stairs in slippers.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

Guardiola didn't recognize the visitor at first, not knowing that the person was Chelsea's manager.

"Hello, Mr. Guardiola, let me introduce myself, I am Chelsea club's manager Emenalo, I came here to extend an invitation, hoping you would come to Stamford Bridge to coach!"

"Sorry, I'm not interested!"

As soon as he heard the other party was from Chelsea, Guardiola's expression immediately turned cold.

He'd rather go coach Manchester City, a nouveau riche without heritage, than go coach Chelsea, a traditional powerhouse.

Is Stamford Bridge even a place for people to stay?

Who likes going to Stamford Bridge to be fired by Abramovich?

"Uh, you don't have to refuse so quickly, at least listen to the conditions we offer first!"

Emenalo seemed to have expected Guardiola's reaction, so he took out a check from his body and wrote down a series of numbers:

"If you're willing to accept our invitation, we can offer you this annual salary!"

Lin glanced out of the corner of his eye and his eyes widened!
