Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions-Chapter 707 - 499: Tang Long scores a decisive goal in the Champions League final! Real Madrid! Guardiola wins his 3rd Champions League!
After rejecting Mancini's invitation, Chiwo felt very happy.
When he used to work with Mancini at Inter Milan, he often expressed privately during dinners with the famous Italian coach his desire to become a head coach himself.
However, a club from his homeland, Romania, once sent him an invitation, and Chiwo was tempted.
But Mancini advised him to stay, saying he deserved a higher platform.
Yet, just now, facing the opportunity to join the Serie A elevator team, Palermo, Chiwo flatly refused.
Just as he told Mancini, Chiwo feels a great sense of responsibility at this moment; he will not leave Manchester City, and he is determined to stay with Tang Long as he grows into a world-class superstar like Messi and C Luo!
Of course, Chiwo was confident when he said this.
Two years ago, Tang Long was personally recommended to the Inter First Team by Chiwo, who at the time keenly sensed Tang Long's limitless potential.
Overview, vision, anticipation, ability to read the game...
Although Tang Long's personal skills were quite average at the time, the football thinking talent he displayed far exceeded his peers, something Chiwo, as a former player who won the treble, was very sure of.
"How long would it take for Tang to become a world-class superstar like Messi and C Luo? Not long, just a few years, maybe even less. The difference will become evident by the end of this season."
Chiwo stayed up late at his desk to finish the video analysis needed for the next day, then lay down in bed and fell asleep.
At night.
He had a very strange dream!
He dreamed that he was at the Etihad Stadium.
The once-crowded, song-filled stadium was now empty, with only Tang Long and himself engaged in various trainings.
Passing, running, sprinting, defending...
Chiwo was almost entirely a training partner, running with Tang Long for countless steps, passing innumerable balls, shooting countless goals, doing countless bench presses, not knowing how long. Suddenly, he opened his eyes only to find Tang Long's afterimage still lingering. A look at his phone showed it was already 7:45.
"Oh no, how did I oversleep!"
Chiwo never needed to set an alarm, no matter how late he went to bed, he would naturally wake up at 6:30 every morning.
This was a good habit he developed during his playing days.
But today, as he got up, he felt a heaviness in his calves, a tightness in his chest, and couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.
Fatigue hit him instantly, reminding him of the dream he had last night.
At 8:00 sharp was the match day review morning meeting. Without time to wash up, Chiwo grabbed his laptop, rushed to his car, started the engine, and sped away.
...
Inside the Manchester City meeting room.
Guardiola glanced at his watch; it was already 7:58.
The entire first-team coaching staff was present, except for Chiwo.
This was a very strange occurrence.
Because Chiwo was always the first to arrive at the meeting room, usually around 7:30, even earlier than Guardiola.
Everyone was curious.
"What's going on, only two minutes left, could it be Christian is running late?" someone exclaimed.
"It's like the sun has risen in the west, haha!" someone gloatingly remarked.
"Did something happen on the way? Maybe we should give him a call." someone worriedly suggested,
Others asked Guardiola if they should start the meeting early, as match day review mornings were tight on time, and there was also the morning training to guide after the meeting.
Guardiola touched his bald head and said, "Let's wait a bit, wait a bit, no rush; we still have two minutes!"
Guardiola was used to playing Chiwo's carefully prepared video clips before the meeting started, just like Mancini used to.
He would use Chiwo's explanations to lead the coaching staff in analyzing the problems evident during the match.
In the last Premier League match against Chelsea, the battle for the Premier League's top spot, even though Manchester City won, the narrow 3-2 victory still exposed some issues in the team's defense.
If Chiwo didn't show up, Guardiola wouldn't know where to start.
Guardiola looked at his watch again, the second hand showing less than twenty seconds to 8:00. He was puzzled: "He's always on time, how could he be late?"
Thump thump thump!
Urgent footsteps came from the corridor outside.
Chiwo came rushing into the meeting room, looking disheveled with a computer in his arms. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
A dozen pairs of eyes simultaneously turned toward him.
First, they noticed Chiwo's unshaven face; obviously, he hadn't shaved in the morning;
The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, with his black chest hair faintly visible.
The funniest part was his shoes—not leather shoes, not sneakers, but a pair of house slippers!
Rushing to avoid being late, Chiwo was in such a hurry he forgot to change shoes and drove in his slippers after getting out of bed.
He realized something was wrong halfway there, but it was too late.
This scene was quite similar to when Tang Long sprinted in slippers to the Inter Youth Team's training ground back in the day.
"Alright, it is now 8:00 sharp, let the assistant start the video presentation."
Guardiola intentionally eased Chiwo's embarrassment, getting straight to the point and bringing everyone's focus back.
Wearing his slippers, Chiwo began his day's work in Manchester City's meeting room.
His explanation highlighted the gaps in Manchester City's defensive system, combining them with the last match against Chelsea, using video to illustrate.
