4 three-person meeting
The Argentine's crazy attack finally made the Russians overwhelmed!
After all, the strength of the Argentine team is far higher than that of the Russian team. In the second half of the game, Argentina seemed to have regained the feeling they had when they were killing all sides in South America. Barty's brace and Crespo's icing on the cake made the Argentine team finally three-to-one. One victory over Russia...
In the second half of the game, Leon, who served as the Argentine left midfielder, played a full 90 minutes. Leon played well in the midfielder and left midfield positions. He also received unanimous praise from his teammates after the game. //
Especially Aimar, Crespo, Placente, Ortega and other Riverbed brothers, their love for this little brother is beyond words.
And today's captain of the Argentine national team, Wizard Veron, performed well in the second half. After all, Veron is a superstar figure!
Even if they play badly, there is still no problem in abusing Russia.
However, in the second half of the Argentine team, there were hidden dangers in personnel... the captain Ayala was injured!
The injury of the team's main defense captain, Ayala, cast a shadow over Argentina's World Cup trip.
Just after the game ended, Ayala went to the hospital for an examination, and the final result was that he might be absent for about fifteen days... This basically meant that Ayala would miss the entire group stage.
The other Argentine national team members returned to the hotel.
Their head coach Bielsa was temporarily notified and went to a high-end club in Sapporo, Japan...
There, there will be two big figures waiting for him.
...
"Chairman Grondona, Mr. Pekerman... I don't know why you are here to ask me?" At this moment, the person sitting in front of Bielsa is the biggest voice in South American football, and in the international football Combining money, power, and popularity into one, in the power change of FIFA, the Argentine football emperor-Grondona has been growing.
And Pekerman, who has a high reputation in Argentina.
You know, Bielsa's ability to become the coach of the Argentine national team came from Pekerman's recommendation to Grondona.
Looking at Bielsa, Grondona and Pekerman both looked at each other and smiled, and then Grondona looked at Bielsa and asked: "Coach Bielsa, I don't want to interfere with your coaching in the national team, but forgive me. Frankly speaking, what do you think of this Argentine national team under your command."
Naturally, Grondona's coming could not be a trivial matter! You must know that in the future FIFA, Grondona is the only one who knows how much Blatter's annual salary and dividends are.
Of course, in previous lives, many people believed that Grondona was the culprit for the lack of a system in Argentine football.
After thinking for a while, Bielsa replied: "Our state is not bad. Everyone performed well in the warm-up match."
"Well, everyone's performance is very good, but Coach Bielsa, do you think this Argentine team lacks a real leader on the field?" Grondona asked with a smile.
Bielsa was stunned, he couldn't figure out the meaning between Grondona's words...
At this time, Pekerman stood up and said: "Marcelo (Belsa), the chairman is asking you, after the captain Ayala was injured, you have decided who will be the leader and captain of the Argentine national team in this World Cup. ?"
Bielsa hesitated and replied: "Veron."
At this time, after listening to Bielsa's decision, Grondona shook his head: "Veron is not a good captain. You know his deeds in Argentina. He is a good player on the field, but definitely Not a good captain."
Bielsa was a little overwhelmed by Grondona's words. Of course, if he knew that Lionwell was the illegitimate son of Grondona's youngest son, perhaps the doubts in his mind would disappear!
You must know that one of Grondona's favorite sons is Lionwell. Although he is an illegitimate child, it is difficult to conceal Grondona's love for him.
So Grondona came here today precisely for Leonwell's future in the Argentine national team. Grondona is indeed an out-and-out dictator, the biggest cancer in Argentine football, but in this life, the appearance of Lionwell completely changed everything...
Pekerman also relieved Bielsa: "The chairman and I both watched today's friendly match. It seems that Veron, the captain, is not very convinced by other players."
At this time, Bielsa also said: "Yes, Chairman, Mr. Pekerman, Veron is indeed not very convinced by everyone, but the World Cup is about to begin, and I have decided that Veron is the player of the Argentine national team." Captain."
Grondona continued to shake his head, "Coach Bielsa, in fact, Pekerman and I have been discussing why the Argentine team has always missed the World Cup after Maradona? We have the best players in the world, why do we Can't go further? I think we lack a leader like Diego..."
Pekerman also helped out: "Yes, Bielsa, although Veron is good at the game, he is hard to convince in the national team. Why don't you try to use Simeone as the captain?"
Bielsa nodded: "Actually, I have such a plan. Simeone has served the team for a long time and is the candidate for the captain, but I have already decided that the vice-captain is Veron. According to the rules, he is the candidate for the captain... Chairman, Mr. Pekerman, it does not bode well for a change of direction."
Grondona and Pekerman did not continue to entangle with the captain.
After all, Bielsa is the head coach of the national team.
Grondona looked at Bielsa and asked: "Coach Bielsa, how do you consider using Leonwell in this World Cup? He is one of the most popular players in our national team now, as you know , he has just created a great miracle and glory in Argentina with his teammates... I think, why don't you try to cultivate Lionwell as our new core in the future?"
Bielsa pondered for a while. In fact, he also felt that Lionwell would cooperate better with Aimar, Ortega and others after he played, but what position should Lionwell play? The team's main midfielders Simeone and Mathias Almeida are unshakable. The frontcourt Veron is his appointed vice-captain and the next candidate for the captain. As for Ortega and Aimar?
No one can take Bielsa down.
"Chairman, Leon is still too young! I think this World Cup is the most important thing for him to accumulate experience." Bielsa can only say so.
At this time, Grondona shook his head again, "Coach Bielsa, today's game has proved that Leon has the strength to play the main force for the Argentine national team. Although his personal ability is still lacking, you also know that he Like Aimar and Ortega, they are also from the river plate system. The cooperation of the three of them is much better than that of Veron, Aimar and Ortega. Sometimes on the court, it is not who is stronger. Just like a good computer, compatibility is the most reasonable."
Grondona made it clear that he wanted to help his youngest son to the throne!
In fact, this is not a game of chess played by Grondona. If Leonwell can become the future leader of the Argentine national team, then Grondona will have greater rights. With Leonwell helping him Controlling the national team, Grondona can cover the sky even more with one hand.
Of course, apart from the aspect of power, Grondona's love for Leonwell is beyond doubt, and Leon's performance is also awesome! If Leon is an idiot who can't be supported, what's the use of Grondona saying more?
But now, on the court, Leon has shown that he is more suitable for the system of the Argentine national team than Veron, so Grondona has the capital to talk to Bielsa about this.
Bielsa finally feels the pressure of being the head coach of the Argentine national team... Yes, it is not he who really decides everything about the Argentine national team, but Grondona, and if Argentina loses, he will be the one who pays for the loss, But not Grondona!
"In short, Coach Bielsa, I hope you will carefully consider my suggestion. Of course, I also agree with what you said. It will not be easy for the Argentine national team to perform and play in the World Cup. However, Leon is definitely A good player." After saying this, Grondona left first.
And Pekerman stayed to talk with Bielsa.
"Marcelo, tell me your truth, aside from the fact that the chairman loves Lionwell, what do you think of the player Lionwell?" Pekerman looked at Bielsa and asked .
After thinking for a while, Bielsa said: "Lionwell is indeed more suitable for the Argentine national team's system, but Jose (Pekerman), you know, I can't win Veron..."
Pekerman nodded: "So, Marcelo! You have caused yourself a lot of trouble. The Argentine national team has always been ranked by seniority. It was Passarella in 1978, Passarella in 1982, and Passarella in 1986. It was Maradona's turn. What happened after that? It was Simeone in 1998. I don't think you should have decided and agreed to let Veron be the vice-captain. In terms of prestige, Simeone is far above Veron... Alas, if If Veron is not the captain, then it is not difficult for you to win him. But now, Ayala is injured, whether he can play in the World Cup has become an unknown... If Ayala cannot play, according to the rules, the vice-captain Veron will definitely You will become the regular captain...But Veron is not a popular guy, your team looks glamorous now, but it is actually starting to crumble!"
Jose Pekerman's words made Bielsa suddenly vigilant, "Jose, what do you think I should do now? I am not as good at managing the team as you are."
Pekerman smiled: "You are riding a tiger now. If you don't let Veron be the captain? Then Veron must be dissatisfied with you. Let Veron be the captain, he is hard to convince. Or use Leonwell as the chairman said This is not impossible, because there are many former river plate players in this team, and everyone takes care of Leonwell, but what position do you let Leonwell play after he plays? There are many contradictions, Marcelo!"
Bielsa nodded. He hoped that Pekerman, an old Jianghu with good interpersonal relationships, could give him some advice.
"But there are ways to deal with it. First of all, you must take what the chairman said to heart. Marcelo, I know you have put a lot of effort into this Argentine team, and you also hope to lead this Argentine team to the championship. I don't want to give You add any pressure... Also, Marcelo, since you think Leon is good, then use him boldly! With the chairman behind you to support you, you don't have to worry so much!" After a pause, Pekerman continued to look at Bielsa and said: "Let me teach you a trick. The first thing you have to do now is to go back and understand the thoughts of the players. More than 60% of the people are dissatisfied with the captain! You can be democratic this time and give the players the opportunity to vote for the captain! In this way, no matter who is selected, it will not be your fault! "
Bielsa nodded, Pekerman was indeed right, the lunatic Bielsa nodded, and accepted Pekerman's suggestion.
Pekerman continued to say to Bielsa: "Then there is the issue of Leonwell, you think he can, and he has the support of the chairman, as long as Veron is not elected as the regular captain, then it seems that you want to use Leonwell It's very simple. Marcelo, you have to remember that in front of the chairman, you may be just a junior, but in front of those players, you are the supreme boss! You must show your authority! And I heard Lionwell is in the national team, except for a few players such as Veron, he has a good relationship with everyone in private, you can use Lionwell to buy people's hearts!"
Bielsa nodded again. At this time, Bielsa felt that the biggest disadvantage of being the head coach was that he would not form his own cronies like Pekerman.
In the Korea-Japan World Cup in 2002, Argentina had a total of five captains on the field. This has to be said to be the biggest reason for Argentina's defeat in East Asia!
The players don't accept anyone! Qualifiers are qualifiers, and the World Cup is the World Cup! Bielsa did choose the best twenty-three people in Argentina at that time, but it was the best twenty-three people who created the tragedy of Argentina's defeat in East Asia!
Bielsa is a good coach, definitely a good coach, but management is definitely not what he is good at!
For a successful team in history, the players may not be the best, but they are definitely the most united.
Argentina's locker room storm started in the three-person meeting of Grondona, Pekerman and Bielsa...
This three-person meeting in later generations is also hailed as the biggest change in the history of the Argentine national team.
