The number one cinema Miss Ming (original by toppinema, reprinting is strictly prohibited)
Why do you love football? is for winning, or for the beauty of football? Perhaps, this is the ultimate question of a fan.
In a recent football documentary, this question has an answer.
The answer to this is a great team: Barcelona , and the legendary figure John Cruyff who once ignited this team, and the head coach Josep Guardiola (Pep).
The film is currently Douban 9.1 points , and there is a title that fully reflects the charm of football: "Chuan Control" .
This documentary focuses on Barcelona's journey to the top of Europe under Guardiola's coaching, not just presenting the team's sense of superiority, nor just how they win.
"Pass and Control" runs through the whole process, a kind of football philosophy, a technical pursuit beyond winning games, a highly self-disciplined team spirit, and a football beauty based on passing and controlling techniques.
Technology, team, football philosophy, these have long been beyond winning the game itself and ultimate pursuit of football. The film should also allow the players of Chinese men's football team to have a good look.
At the same time, this documentary also attracted the appreciation and praise of non-Barcelona and even non-fans.
A netizen left a message saying that although he is not a Barcelona fan, "but I have to admit that Barcelona has created something beyond the championship and trophy, and it has changed my understanding of football."
Someone else said that this documentary "smart me who never watches football in the charming era in front of the TV."
There are many fragments and details worth remembering in this documentary.
One of the period is the confrontation between Guardiola when coaching Barcelona and Mourinho when coaching Real Madrid.
In the documentary, "Murinho appeared as a negative role", and relevant Barcelona sources disclosed that in 2008, two candidates replaced Rijkaard as Barcelona head coach, one of which was Mourinho. From 1996 to 2000, Mourinho stayed in Barcelona for 4 years. At that time, some people thought that he was the one who "can bring Barcelona back to the top."
"About four or five directors supported Mourinho, and the club's vice chairman had met with him, but in the end, he was eliminated."
In 2008, Mourinho became radical, "He regards strength and competition as more important than football technology." His football philosophy changed, "that is a football that is completely different from Barcelona", and Barcelona "want to inherit Cruyff's football philosophy."
In the end, Barcelona politely rejected the olive branch that Mourinho's agent wanted to talk about again and chose another candidate: Guardiola, that is, Pep.
Pep had previously expressed his confidence in coaching Barcelona in half-jokingly, "If you appoint me as the head coach, I will win everything for you." As a result, he did what he said.
Mourinho went to Real Madrid, and the two people's confrontation became frequent. The documentary records a shout from a distance between the two people full of gunpowder.
In 2011, Barcelona and Real Madrid encountered many games. Ronaldo's goal allowed Real Madrid to win the King's Cup championship. In the game, Barcelona's Pedro had a controversial offside. After the game, Pep opened fire on the assistant referee, pointing out that the offside penalty for Pedro's ball was too strict, but his subtle body exceeded.
On the sixth day after the final of the Cup final of the King's Cup, the day before the semi-finals of Champions League , Mourinho made public at the press conference, saying:
"Guardiola once said that our team has entered a new era and has a new batch of coaching teams, and he is the only one in this team. This coaching team will make a decision because of the referee. The exact punishment was criticized and criticized, I have never seen such a person before. "
Barcelona's player Xavi, now recalled in the documentary: "Morlinho is too provocative, and everyone in Barcelona wants Guardiola to make a response. Not only targets Guardiola, but also targets everyone in Barcelona."
result, 6 hours after Mourinho's press conference, Guardiola responded:
"Mr. Mourinho, I must call him like this, he called me Pep, so I called him Jose... Under the court, he won. He has been winning all the time, and for his victory, I personally award him a Champions League trophy here. At the press conference, he was the big winner . He knew very well, but I didn't want to compete with him. The only thing I want to remind him is that we have worked together for 4 years."
(Old photos of the two people in the past)
, including Xavi and Puyor , Barcelona players at that time said that Guardiola's response greatly inspired the team's fighting spirit and made them more willing to do their best in the game. Xavi also revealed that when Guardiola returned to the hotel, "we all applauded him. He said, "It's enough, we should focus on the game."
In the end, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in the semi-finals and defeated Manchester United in the Champions League final. In the
film, there is both the domineering spirit of a king who is not to be outdone, and the brotherhood that friendship is the best.
The passionate man on the court also has an extremely warm side. At that time, the person who raised the Champions League championship trophy was Eric Abidal . At that moment, countless people were moved by it.
was born in Abidal on July 11, 1979. On March 15, 2011, he announced through Barcelona that he had a liver tumor and was going to undergo surgery. But just on the 47th day after the operation was completed, he returned to the court and held the trophy high after winning the 2011 Champions League final, staged a miracle and touching scene.
In "Cross Control", Abidal and his former Barcelona teammates revealed more details behind it.
"We should have lifted Abidal that day, he was the real victory, he was one of the greatest people in our locker room." Daniel Alves said.
Abidal revealed in the documentary that his teammate Alves even said to him, "I can donate part of my liver to you." Alves said he did not regret that he had made this suggestion at all. He said, "If I had the opportunity to save his life, my career was nothing compared to it."
In a documentary about Barcelona, of course, it is impossible to have Messi , but compared with the whole film, Messi is just a dazzling supporting role.
Despite this, the film still shows Messi's record from being selected by Barcelona to debut, and then writing a brilliant record.
The most interesting one is the story about a napkin - the media mentioned earlier that Messi and Barcelona's initial contract was written on a napkin. This time, in "Chuan Control", there is a conclusive answer to this matter.
At that time, football agent Minggu Yala recommended the young Messi to Barcelona's chairman consultant Rexacci. Messi is still very grateful to the person who signed him.In the documentary, Minggu said that after Messi and his family arrived in Spain, he kept making verbal assurances to them, but never saw the official documents. At that time, he and Lexac were in a tennis club with some napkins on the table, so Lexac picked up a picture and wrote:
"I, Carles Rexac, promised as the chairman's consultant that Leo Messi really has the ability to sign for Barcelona Football Club ."
mingguaila said that he and Lexach signed on it, "That napkin is still there, but it is kept in the bank. It is too precious and needs to be preserved."
You will also notice that throughout the entire documentary, several stars of talked about the emphasis on technology in interviews. When it comes to their rise, they even had to use the water cups around them to fiddle in the coffee table. They kept mentioning the concept of football philosophy , and they were all invisibly influenced by Pep.
For many Barcelona players, Pep is not only their former coach, but also their spiritual mentor, although it sometimes makes them feel uncomfortable.
In the film, former Barcelona player Henry couldn't help complaining. Before the game, his brother was in his room, and other friends were drinking coffee and chatting, but Pep told him not to do this or that, and he had to focus on the game.
"Don't go to watch tennis games, don't stand in the sun, don't go to watch F1 games, don't do this, don't do that. We are here to play football."
Harvey said, "After training every day, we have to have lunch together. He controls our weight, controls our diet, and completely changes the team's diet." However, "On the other hand, he will give us a holiday after the game."
In the entire documentary, everyone also said Pep's goodness.
"At the tactical level, he is the best coach in the world."
His thought of a new position for Messi, "Pep has changed our formation."
In the eyes of many people around him, Pep likes challenges and always speaks with enthusiasm.
He has had a probably most famous speech -
"You may lose a penalty, foul, pass mistakes, You are just an ordinary person, competitive sports will inevitably make mistakes . However, If you don't give 100% to me, I will never forgive you. "
5 minutes before the opening of the Champions League final, Pep played a video of all the players in the locker room. That video told in detail the characteristics of everyone, and the music seemed to be a legend, "We saw that we were in the Champions League journey. Every moment along the way, sadly, happy, struggling, everything."
Former Barcelona jersey administrator Corbera said, "When I saw that video, I knew that we were going to win the Champions League. That video was so inspiring and powerful."
This documentary, the biggest climax comes from the easter egg at the end of the film: Pep appeared.
He said modestly that the root cause of success is the efforts and endless talent of those players.
He said that his motivation is tactics, and the basic concept comes from what Cruyff planted in their blood many years ago. "A simple thing like is passing the ball in football , and everyone participates in the team's overall tactics through passing balls."
As for the question of whether the Barcelona he coaches is the greatest team in history or one of the greatest teams or one of them, Pep believes that there is no answer.
" If you still remember us 25 years later, They will not talk about what we have won, but about how we play. ”
all successes in this world are not accidental. All the accidents you see are inevitable behind them.
Doing simple things to the extreme is victory.
PS: If you want to have a deeper understanding of Pep, there is another high-scoring documentary drama last year, "One Goals: Manchester City ", which will be recommended to everyone.
