Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions-Chapter 805 - 574: The Guardian Urges Tang Long to Abandon the Golden Boot and Pursue the Champions League, but Coach Guardiola Wants Him to Defeat C Luo Twice!

"If I remember correctly, this is C Luo's third Champions League title, right? It's truly incredible. Our Inter Milan, with over a hundred years of history, has only won the Champions League three times, and he's just as good as an entire Inter team!"

At that moment, Tang Long nodded and replied, "C Luo has already won the Champions League and the Champions League Golden Boot. If Portugal performs well in this year's European Cup, the Golden Ball Award is definitely his."

Events unfolded exactly as Tang Long predicted.

With the Champions League and European Cup, C Luo indeed defeated Messi last December to win the Golden Ball Award!

Guardiola stood up, walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the sky.

In the distance, thick cumulus clouds layered upon one another, like a giant gray curtain completely covering the sky over Manchester.

On the British Isles, a sunny day is as rare as a priceless treasure; such gloomy, overcast weather is the norm here.

Guardiola beckoned, gesturing for Tang Long to come by the glass and pointed to a corner of the sky far away, saying:

"I know the sun is right there, only its rays are hindered by the clouds."

"But what does it matter, with us here, the two of us working together, there will surely come a day when we see the sun shining through!"

"Manchester City needs to win the Premier League, and in the Champions League final, we must defeat Real Madrid. I want to personally reclaim what was lost last year!"

Tang Long laughed, "Boss, may I ask boldly, why are you so certain that Real Madrid will make it to the final?"

Guardiola answered without hesitation, "It will definitely be them. I have this hunch, it's my intuition."

Tang Long nodded slightly, thinking, "He's right. Among the eight teams now, in terms of team strength, form, or odds, Real Madrid and we are the most likely contenders for the Champions League title."

Guardiola put his hand on Tang Long's shoulder and continued, "Manchester City not only has to beat Real Madrid, but you also have to beat C Luo!"

"You have to win both the European Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot," his eyes were filled with encouragement and anticipation, "this year, you have to comprehensively outshine C Luo, then in December at the end of the year, win the Golden Ball Award!"

The final words Guardiola spoke were firm and resolute, filled with unwavering certainty, admitting no doubt.

Tang Long couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

C Luo was last year's Golden Ball Award winner; this year, to outshine him and win the Golden Ball Award is Tang Long's goal.

But this was just his inner thought, never spoken to Guardiola.

When this goal was so definitively expressed from Guardiola's mouth, Tang Long finally realized that to defeat all the world's top players and win the Golden Ball Award is not just his own dream, but also the burning ambition deep within his team's coach Guardiola.

Tang Long's face still wore a faint smile as he deliberately said:

"Well, that's quite challenging. You coached Messi; you know how strong he is. If he wins the La Liga and UEFA Europa League titles and performs well from the beginning of next season until December, even if I clinch a treble and various Golden Boots and beat C Luo, I might still fail to outshine Messi, because many people vote out of habit, and in this era, they are accustomed to the situation where Messi and C Luo dominate the Golden Ball Award."

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, causing the curtains in the office to sway.

Both gazed intently afar as the clouds seemed to be slowly lifted at a corner by an invisible hand, and a dazzling beam of sunlight pierced through, cutting through layer upon layer of clouds, illuminating the oak treetops in the near distance with a brilliant golden glow.

"When I coached Barça, Messi was the best player in the world," Guardiola's gaze returned from the outside beauty, turned to Tang Long, "Now that I'm coaching Manchester City, Tang, you will surely grow into the world's best! I have that confidence!"
