Because of the high tactical play and the special stability of the league championship, Guardiola will attract countless fans wherever he goes. It is also for this reason that Guardiola's bosses will be willing to open their wallets and fully support their "melon goddess" to buy and buy!
Counting Haaland, Guardiola's coaching career signings are approaching the €1.7 billion mark. If the follow-up continues to strengthen the midfield, Pep Guardiola, who has an average annual transfer market investment of 200 million yuan during the coaching of Manchester City, can he repay his financier with a Champions League title?
01. Debut is goddess treatment: Barca spent 342 million to strengthen the squad in 4 years
As of last summer, Mourinho ranked first in the list of coaches' signing expenses, spending a total of 1.76 billion euros. Guardiola's spending of 1.59 billion euros is close behind.
However, it should be noted that Guardiola only became the manager of the giants in 2008, and Mourinho debuted a long time ago. The Portuguese began coaching Porto in 2001 and became Chelsea manager in 2004.
So although Mourinho is still 170 million euros ahead of Guardiola, the number of buyers is 37 more than Guardiola, and the per capita expenditure is much lower.
Guardiola, in particular, has always had the full support of his boss, and in the two summers of 2008 and 2009, Barca invested a total of 210 million euros to rebuild, and Laporta invested a total of 210 million euros to strengthen.
The pinnacle of Dream Three belongs to the golden generation of Xavi, Iniesta, messi's La Masia, and there is also the help of trench purchases.
Before Laporta left, he also sent a final assist: 40 million euros to buy Villa, so that Guardiola's forward line was easy to use.
However, his next term is Roselle, the former Barca vice-chairman nicknamed "Rothki", if Villa is removed, he will spend a total of 92.5 million euros in Pep Guardiola in the 2 years after he takes over, which is also the smallest support.
02. Coaching Bayern for 3 years: only 160 million euros were spent on 13 people
Leaving Barca, Guardiola, who had rested for a year, became bayern's helmsman. In the three years that followed, Triple Crown team Bayern Munich spent just €160 million to buy 13 players.
Among them, Koeman only counted the loan fee of 7 million euros, and the buyout occurred after Pep Guardiola left, not counting the total expenses of Guardiola's coaching career.
However, in addition to buying 13 players, Bayern also got Lewandowski through a visa-free way, which is also an excellent reinforcement for the squad.
Compared with the previous Barça and the later Manchester City, Bayern's support is relatively skewed, but it is comparable to The Barca of the Roselle era.
Coupled with the fact that Bayern Munich was once full of wounded troops, Guardiola did have too many dissatisfaction and difficulties. Although as a gentleman, Guardiola has never complained about Bayern, the contradiction with the team doctor actually explains a lot of problems.
That stage was a transition period for Guardiola's personal tactical board, he was no longer completely obsessed with possession, adding more Elements of German football, accelerating and impacting the offensive and defensive conversions, and more integrated into his team.
And in order to find Robery's successor, Guardiola also struggled. In his last year in charge of the German giants, the buying of Douglas Costa and the loan of Koeman were the wealth left by the Spanish coach to his successor.
03. 1 billion in 5 years but no Champions League! The gold lord's response to the goddess: renewal + buy Haland
In the first year of coming to Manchester City, the team's old defensive line could not support Guardiola's offensive blueprint. So Guardiola's first and only time in his coaching career stopped in the Champions League round of 16, becoming his lowest point.
Painfully, Guardiola then overhauled the defensive line. After spending 200 million to strengthen the full-backs, City's total defensive expenditure reached 560 million euros, which can even beat the defense budgets of more than half of the world's countries.
Backcourt reinforcement does not mean that the frontcourt does not buy people, after buying Glaliche last summer, Manchester City has invested more than 1 billion euros in Guardiola's reinforcements in the past 5 years! The average annual expenditure is more than 200 million!
At this point, even Laporta, who fully supported Guardiola at the beginning, can only say that the witch is a small witch.
Not just the totals, But City are equally staggering in terms of the unit price of reinforcements. City accounted for 13 of Guardiola's top 15 career single signings, and nine of the top 10 were bought by the Blues.
This time, after losing 3 goals in 6 minutes in the Champions League semi-final, the Manchester City boss reacted by discussing a contract extension with Guardiola at the first time, and then spending nearly 200 million euros to buy Haaland as a "new patch" for the team (including transfer fees, signing fees, commissions and 5 years of annual salary).
I have to say that Guardiola is really an authentic football "goddess", and the Manchester City boss is the richest "licking dog" in the history of football. Of course, there is a reason for this, guardiola is infinitely close to winning his fourth Premier League title in the six years since he came to Manchester City.
Judging from the Manchester City squad forecast next season, the team still has the "potential" to strengthen in terms of back, right-back and center-back. With an average annual transfer fee of 200 million yuan, Guardiola may have the opportunity to buy and buy this summer.
Over the past six seasons, the average Record in the Champions League has been slightly better than the Top 8, but in the last 2 years, guardiola can still get the trust of the "boss" despite having been 11 years since his last Champions League title.
When De Bruyne gave Haaland an assist, we had reason to expect Guardiola to break through in the Champions League. After all, for this coach who advocates attack, defense is impossible, and only more goals can once again reach the top of Europe.
The summer of 2023 will be 12 years after Guardiola's last title. This is a reincarnation, will Guardiola, who once did not need a center, complete his self-breakthrough? At least in the eyes of the chief, there is no dream that money can't buy, and if it doesn't work out, then continue to spend money!
Conclusion:
Being able to make the owner of the gold spend money convincingly is the charm of Guardiola, and it is also the result of his beautiful style of play and the arrogance of a gentleman.
Whether or not he eventually wins the Champions League, as long as the chief is willing to continue to spend money, it is a wish to fight a wish. If it is really possible to climb to the top of Europe for the third time, this may also be a beautiful talk.
