Chapter 936: A tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live!
Taking advantage of the opportunity of a morning training session that was about to end, Su Dong asked Joe Hart to stay and the two had a long talk.
Su Dong understood Joe Hart's current situation. He knew that the England goalkeeper was in a bad mood. No matter who it was, if they encountered such a thing, they would definitely feel unhappy.
The number one goalkeeper of the British Empire cannot even play as a starter in his own league team. Isn't this a joke? But Joe Hart is facing this kind of joke now.
What was even more difficult for him to accept was that the one who took away his main position was a young goalkeeper who was less than 20 years old.
I ask, can you bear it?
Su Dong listened to a lot of Joe Hart's complaints. He did not deny his own problems, but he also felt that he was in a vicious circle. That is, he lost his main position and Guardiola only arranged for him to play in some domestic cup competitions, which usually would not receive much attention and were played with rotation and substitute lineups.
In other words, Manchester City's playing lineup was relatively weak, which affected Joe Hart's performance, which in turn affected his position in the team and led to more doubts.
This is indeed a very common phenomenon, so usually players will seek transfers.
A tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live! Transferring, changing the environment, and starting over will often have unexpected results.
But it is impossible for Manchester City to allow Joe Hart to transfer now.
At least not until the end of this season!
Su Dong told Joe Hart that he would take the initiative to ask Guardiola to get more games for Joe Hart, but he also hoped that Joe Hart could deal with the current situation calmly, especially about his position in the team.
It can be said that the Manchester City coaching staff no longer expects Joe Hart to transform and adapt to Guardiola's tactical requirements. They hope that he can finish the season peacefully. As for whether he will leave or stay after the end of this season, they will make a decision at that time, but in the middle of the season, they still don't think about him, especially his agent.
As England's number one goalkeeper, Joe Hart has no shortage of interested teams.
There were even rumors that Ferguson and Manchester United were considering poaching Joe Hart from Manchester City to replace De Gea.
This is not completely impossible, after all, Manchester United still has a special preference for local players.
As a player, Su Dong definitely prefers the stable Courtois, but as the captain of the team, Su Dong has to consider the overall situation, take Joe Hart's feelings into account, and try to stabilize the situation in the locker room.
If Joe Hart really makes a scene, Manchester City will be the one that suffers in the end.
Chelsea's poor performance this season is the best example. The conflicts between Boas and several veterans have directly dragged down Chelsea's performance, resulting in the Blues not even being able to make it into the top four of the league.
For teams as strong as Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United, the problems often come from within themselves, especially in the locker room.
It can be said that in the current Premier League, the only one who can stop Manchester City is Manchester City itself.
As long as they control the locker room and maintain the overall stability of the team, no one can stop Manchester City from defending the Premier League title.
The ten consecutive wins at the start are the best proof!

After chatting with Joe Hart for an hour, Su Dong walked towards the restaurant.
He happened to meet goalkeeper coach Unsue, who had just seen Su Dong talking to Joe Hart from a distance. Naturally, he came over and asked what the two were talking about.
Su Dong was not the kind of person who gossiped. He picked out some practical issues and talked about them with Wen Sue.
The coaching staff actually has some of their own judgments about Joe Hart's current situation.
Unsue believes that Joe Hart is becoming less and less confident.
"This is a long process of accumulation, but after Courtois arrived, especially this season, he has increasingly felt the crisis and has become less and less confident."
Su Dong understood what Wen Sue meant.
All players, or everyone, will be like this.
It's like an experienced driver who suddenly drives on the road after not driving for a long time. He will always be nervous, unconfident in his driving skills, and become more cautious. However, the more he does so, the more likely he is to encounter some emergencies on the road.
"There is really no problem with his ability." Su Dong said with certainty.
He thought he had this vision.
Unsué nodded. "He is indeed very capable, but as you know, he really can't adapt to the team's tactics, especially his passing. His success rate is too low, only half, which seriously hinders the team."
This is actually the main reason why Guardiola gave up Joe Hart.
There are many examples like Joe Hart, so many times, a fake player can be reborn by changing to another team.
For example, Diego Forlan, the Uruguayan striker who played for Manchester United at the time, went to La Liga and immediately became a top striker.
Is it that Fran's ability has improved by leaps and bounds, or that Ferguson's Manchester United doesn't know how to use players?
Actually, neither is true.
Ferguson bought Forlan because he saw his strength and potential, but the problem is that he is really not suitable for Manchester United.
The same is true for Joe Hart. Other teams may be able to accept such a low pass success rate, but Guardiola has no choice, so he has to change the goalkeeper, and his attitude is very firm.
If Guardiola is sacked and a new head coach comes in, Courtois may be on the bench and Joe Hart may be the main player. Therefore, many times it is not a question of the players' strength.
Of course, there is also the case of superstars like Su Dong, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Players at this level often have super personal abilities and are the core fighting force of the team. Therefore, no matter how the head coach changes, no matter who their teammates are, the team will tailor tactics around them, with the aim of bringing out their greatest threat.
Therefore, no matter which team such players go to, there will basically be no problem in adapting.
To put it simply, the vast majority of players need to actively adapt to the coach's tactics, but when their strength reaches a certain level, the coach's tactics should in turn actively adapt to the players.
"Actually, you have done enough. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Wen Sue advised.
Su Dong is a very responsible person, and he works even harder after becoming the captain.
This is a virtue, an admirable virtue, but it is also a heavy pressure.
There are many players who cannot withstand such pressure, such as Real Madrid captain Raul. So after becoming captain, Raul no longer has the spirituality and style of the Spanish golden boy.
In comparison, Su Dong is very rare.
Given Guardiola's personality, if Su Dong was not in the locker room, Manchester City would be in chaos.
Maybe it has already fallen apart.
Su Dong smiled faintly and said nothing more.

…………
After the tenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.
This is also the most crucial round in the group stage.
According to Manchester City's record in the first three rounds, after defeating Dortmund, Inter Milan and Villarreal successively, as long as they defeat Villarreal away in this round, Manchester City can advance two rounds in advance.
This was something no one could have imagined before the start of this season.
At that time, everyone felt that it was still unknown who would win this death group.
The reason is that Inter Milan is really in a bad state. This Serie A giant was ravaged by Tottenham Hotspur last season and performed poorly in the group stage this season, resulting in it being difficult for them to even qualify for the group stage.
As for Villarreal, their current performance in the La Liga is not ideal. The team's goal is to compete for the top four in the league. In comparison, the competition for the Champions League seems secondary.
Advancing to the knockout stage is just icing on the cake for Villarreal, but finishing in the top four of La Liga and qualifying for next season's Champions League are Villarreal's most important goals.
If they can only choose one of the two, the Yellow Submarine will definitely choose to keep the domestic league without hesitation.
This kind of choice is not the first time. In last season's Europa League, wasn't Villarreal slaughtered by Porto with this choice?
Now, faced with such a choice again, the Yellow Submarine chose La Liga without hesitation.
After all, if they advance to the group stage, they will be able to get a considerable sum of money.
Of course, choosing La Liga does not mean that Villarreal will give up the Champions League. At best, it can only be said that they will not put all their efforts into fighting Manchester City.
…
When visiting the Love Song Stadium, Manchester City sent out all their main players.
Guardiola obviously wants to achieve his goal in one go and secure the qualification for the group stage as soon as possible, which can appropriately ease the pressure of the team fighting on multiple fronts and also continue the team's good momentum so far this season.
Having learned from the experience of the first game between the two sides, Manchester City still insisted on passing and controlling the ball this time, organizing the attack with Su Dong as the core.
In the 30th minute, after receiving a pass from David Silva, Su Dong acted as a wall in the penalty area and passed the ball back to Toni Kroos. The German midfielder pulled the lever and shot, breaking through Villarreal's goal, making it one to zero.
Before the end of the first half, another pass came from Manchester City's midfielder. After Su Dong got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he suddenly started, shook off Musacchio, dribbled into the penalty area, and calmly shot the ball into the goal, 2-0! After the second half, Su Dong pulled to the left, received the pass from Di Maria and Marcelo, forced a breakthrough on the left, and passed the ball to the goal. Sanchez decisively cut in and easily pushed the ball into the goal, 3-0! In the end, Manchester City relied on Su Dong's one shot and two passes to beat Villarreal 3-0 and won a crucial victory.
After this game, Manchester City won four consecutive games, advanced from the group stage ahead of schedule, and won the top spot in the group.
Dortmund, which followed closely behind, had a slight advantage, but lost to Inter Milan away in this round, which added a bit of suspense.
As for Villarreal, the possibility of qualifying from the group is very slim.
The second place in the group should be between Inter Milan and Dortmund, and it depends on who performs better in the next two rounds of group matches.
