Chapter 3 Farewell Ceremony
After the game, the Barcelona club held a farewell ceremony for Guardiola.
All 100,000 fans in the stadium stood up and sang Guardiola's song.
For them, today is a happy and sad day.
Fortunately, they have Messi, who is only 25 years old and at his peak.
Sadly, the club's chairman change led to the departure of the team's legendary coach Guardiola.
This makes them somewhat pessimistic about the team's future prospects.
It is difficult to find a coach like Guardiola, who came from the La Masia youth training system, is familiar with Barcelona's tactical style of play, and makes full use of Barcelona's characteristics to develop a new tactical system and bring his own advantages to the fullest.
When Guardiola was in charge, Barcelona once created a feat in which all 11 players on the field were from Barcelona's youth training system.
But after Guardiola leaves, can his successor still make use of the players trained at La Masia? Can he still achieve the same brilliant results as Guardiola? The more they think about this, the more reluctant they are to let Guardiola go.
The fans waved Barcelona flags, held up various pictures with Guardiola's portraits, and sang loudly in praise of Guardiola.
Guardiola walked towards the stadium alone. He raised his head and looked at the audience and the stadium.
Here he led the team to achieve brilliant results and left their own legend.
But after today, he will no longer belong here.
If I come back here next time, it will probably be as an opponent.
At that time, will these lovely fans still welcome me and cheer for me like they did today? At this time, the big screen on the stadium began to play the wonderful replay of Guardiola's achievements during his four years as coach.
First league title
First Champions League title
First six-time Grand Slam champion
On the big screen, Guardiola slid on his knees to celebrate when his players scored a goal.
Standing on the sidelines in the heavy rain to direct the game Running and cheering when the team won the game Running around the field when the team won the first championship Taking notes carefully in every game, studying the tactics and weaknesses of the opponent...
Finally, the picture froze on the moment when the team won the Champions League last season and he was thrown high into the air by his teammates.
With excitement, Guardiola took the microphone handed to him by the staff.
I put it to my lips several times, but couldn't open it.
He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, the fans and teammates would hear his choking sobs.
This was his home, and he was about to leave.
People often say that the closer you are to home, the more you miss your hometown. But when a traveler leaves his hometown and faces an uncertain future, how does he feel?
He took a deep breath, tried hard to adjust his state, and said: "Here, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone!"
"Especially the people around me, the players, the coaching staff, the club staff."
"I am also very grateful to the fans who support us. We may not be that close, but I can feel your support every day."
"You know I will miss you and it's exciting to have your support as I leave Camp Nou!"
The fans waved various banners and slogans expressing support and gratitude to Guardiola, and gave him applause and blessings.
"As for the reason why I left, I have said it many times on different occasions, but I think I still need to explain it to you again here."
"In the four years I've coached Barcelona, we've achieved great results, but during this time I've been under a lot of work pressure and haven't been able to spend enough time with my family.
Here, I apologize to them and I promise to accompany my family well in the next period of time! "
Guardiola looked towards the player tunnel, where his girlfriend Cristina Serra and their four children were smiling at him.
Lin Quan is among them!
Yes, the couple who adopted Lin Quan were Guardiola and Serra.
Although he is not their biological son, Guardiola and Serra have always treated Lin Quan as their own son and treated him equally with their other three children.
Guardiola waved to them and Serra immediately walked towards him with the four children.
"Thank you for your hard work, Pep. Now we can finally start our vacation!"
Serra smiled and hugged her lover. She saw that Guardiola was in a low mood, so she tried to divert his attention by taking a vacation.
"Thank you Christina, I'm so sorry I haven't been able to spend more time with you and the kids all these years!"
Guardiola felt a little guilty and apologized sincerely again.
"No need to say sorry. If you really feel you owe me something, why not show it with actual actions?"
"Well, this is a good suggestion, I will consider it!"
Guardiola is thinking about getting married and he feels that it is time to end this long-term relationship.
When it was Lin Quan's turn, Guardiola took the initiative to hug him, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said to him: "Lin, you are already sixteen years old. Next, you should think about your future career plan. Do you have any ideas?"
Lin Quan thought seriously for a while and replied:
"I plan to practice more at Barcelona, and then find a team to loan me out or transfer to!"
"You want to leave Barcelona?"

Guardiola was a little surprised by Lin Quan's idea.
Players who come out of La Masia youth training camp rarely think of leaving Barcelona on their own initiative.
But looking at Lin Quan's appearance, he doesn't seem to have such deep feelings for Barcelona.
Could it be that the relationship between him and the club had fallen out and the decision to resign had affected him?
"Yes, Barcelona's first team is full of talented people. I don't have many opportunities here, so I have to leave!"
Lin Quan said this, but what he actually thought in his heart was that Barcelona was not worth staying in.
Judging from the fact that Barcelona drove Messi away at the transfer deadline ten years later, this club has no humanity at all.
A legendary player who played for the team for 21 years, scored more than 600 goals and led the team to win countless honors was humiliated and driven away by them in such an inhumane and even playful manner.
Only a fool would want to stay at this kind of club! Guardiola thought about it and realized that Barcelona's midfield was indeed rich in talent.
Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta and others are at their peak and are very strong.
I'm afraid that young players really can't compete with them, although when he was the head coach, he was planning to train Lin Quan as Xavi's successor.
For this reason, he was even given the No. 4 jersey of the youth team, which was also the jersey he wore when he played for Barcelona.
But he doesn't know how Barcelona's tactics will change after he leaves.
Every coach has his own ideas. Some like to reuse their youth training players, while others like to buy famous players from outside.
Therefore, the development plan he had previously formulated for Lin Quan might not be feasible now.
"Okay, I respect your choice. We'll have a good chat after we get back!"
Lin Quan nodded. Guardiola is now a hot and legendary coach on the planet.
I must definitely consider his opinion.
After hugging his family, colleagues and team players in turn.
Guardiola quickly left the stadium as the club staff lined up to see him off.
From this moment on, Guardiola and Barcelona were disconnected.
Many people, including fans and club executives, thought that this was just a short separation.
He will come back after the club's chairman changes and the conflict between Guardiola and the club eases.
But no one expected that this farewell would be forever.
