When it comes to coaching, there is a unique figure who is comparable to Zhuge Liang of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. However, even Zhuge Liang could not change the defeat of Shu Han, the first reason is the fierce battle with Dong Wu, Liu Bei suffered a heavy blow under Lu Xun's fire attack, Jingzhou lost its defense, and counterattacked Jiangdong. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and many other generals were killed in battle, moving from active defense to passive. Zhuge Liang six northern expedition to Qishan, in fact, the grain and grass soldiers supply is not as good as the defeat. But it is undeniable that Zhuge Liang's talent.
There is no shortage of such wizards in the field of soccer. One of the coaches familiar to our fans is Manzano. He is serious and demanding to his players. He has achieved remarkable results in La Liga, and is also a master of psychological tactics, able to understand the intentions of opposing coaches and win by surprise. Therefore, our fans affectionately called him "Shouting Sai Zhuge", describing his on-field miraculous calculator and unique features. Manzano first coached the Chinese Super League team is Beijing Guoan, that year led the team to win the runner-up, although the strength is not as strong as the then Evergrande, but Manzano's performance is still respected. 2015, the team gave Manzano the mission to win the championship, but due to the failure of Guoan to strengthen reinforcements, and ultimately failed to complete the task. Manzano resigned in 2015 and the team finished fourth. In the two years following his departure, Guoan finished fifth and ninth, respectively, with a significant drop in results.
In 2015, Manzano came to Shenhua from his class, and in 2016 led Shenhua to create an undefeated league home record, finishing fourth in the league, while entering the quarterfinals of the AFC Cup and returning to the AFC Champions League after five years. However, Shenhua attraction right is not in the hands of Manzano, the introduction of the poor performance of the players, a reporter broke the news that it is suspected of eating kickbacks, in fact, this is only one of the unspoken rules. More importantly, Manzano knows that Shenhua's strength is limited and cannot complete the AFC Champions League double line of battle. In the end, he chose to resign to avoid damage to his reputation. In the years since, Shenhua has struggled to regain its splendor, and has been suppressed by Shanghai Harbor, relegated to the second team in Shanghai.
Manzano realized that the water in the Chinese Super League is very deep and not any coach can handle it. Therefore, he rejected the Chinese Super League coaching whip and finally chose Lippi. However, the beautiful boss of Guizhou Hengfeng invited Manzano three times and traveled to Spain to have a long talk with him late at night. Perhaps it was the temptation of money, perhaps it was the charm of women, Manzano finally agreed to go out. The first year of coaching Guizhou Hengfeng achieved good results, but in the second year, he found that the team has serious problems, the players mentality imbalance, cohesion decline. Manzano expressed his anger at this, believing that these players are not only the strength of the problem, the more critical is the mentality of the problem. Among them, he spat the most is Suning's worst goalkeeper Zhang Sipeng, who was rumored to be keen on opening a hot pot restaurant, but now comes to Guizhou. As a result, this group of bought players became a liability for Guizhou, and Manzano felt out of his depth.
The worst news doesn't stop there, Suning did something even worse, not only selling the worst goalkeeper to Guizhou Hengfeng, but also recommending Pedrescu, the best foreign coach in the Chinese Super League. If Pedrescu was really good, he should have stepped down at Suning. At that time, Guizhou Hengfeng was also in trouble. Manzano found that the team was unstable at the most critical moment and could only choose to leave to save himself. And Pedrescu brought Guizhou Hengfeng to relegation and finally chose to be a deserter in the Central League. It can be said that the beautiful boss of Guizhou Hengfeng was pitched by Suning.
In the Premier League realm, Manzano is smart and resourceful, knows how to get in and get out, and almost falls into a beauty trap.
