"Mr. Guardiola, what do you think about the fact that the team has won two games in a row with four goals in the new season?"
"We are in excellent overall condition. The players not only perfectly implemented my pre-match arrangements. Most importantly, they fully exerted their personal abilities on the court."
At the press conference after the game, the Spanish young coach was in high spirits.
Two consecutive big wins in the new season.
A perfect start.
It means a lot to him.
Because this season is equivalent to his first season as the new head coach of Manchester City, leading the team.
"So how did you feel when the team was quickly counterattacked by Derby County at the beginning and lost the ball and fell behind?"
"It was terrible? Of course not. Haha, before the game started, I always believed that we could beat the opponent. Derby County's quick counterattack proved that they have the strength to stand in the Premier League, but I am glad that the players quickly recovered their form and found the rhythm."
The interview ended.
Guardiola met Derby County head coach Billy Davis at the door, and the latter's face flushed.
"Hello, Mr. Guardiola."
Billy Davis did not rush into the venue, but took the initiative to extend his hand to greet Guardiola.
He smiled and showed a friendly look.
"Hello, Mr. Davis."
Guardiola did not act pretentiously and responded to Billy Davis's kindness.
"I hope that next time we meet at home, we can defeat you with the cheers of the fans! You are very strong, but we will regain our courage and launch the next challenge!"
"Okay!! I am also looking forward to the next match, but we will win again."
Guardiola did not expect Billy Davis to greet him specifically, in fact, to challenge him.
But this behavior is quite... pleasing, and he felt an indomitable spirit.
This also made him look forward to the next match with Derby County.
However.
What Guardiola did not know was.
Some people, you think it is an ordinary day, but it is actually the last time you meet.
Billy Davis will resign as the head coach of Derby County in three months due to poor team performance and ideological conflicts with the management.
The two never met again.
......
The second round of the new Premier League season is scheduled for August 15.
With the end of the Manchester City vs. Derby County match, the other nine stadiums in England have also come to an end.

................................................................
On August 18, after a short break for Manchester City players, the third round of the new Premier League season arrived.
Manchester City continued to play at home.
Facing the "Black Cats" Sunderland, Sunderland A.F.C.
Yes, that's right.
In the 2005-06 Manchester City's first championship season, Sunderland was relegated to the English Championship with 3 wins at the bottom of the Premier League. After the 2006-07 season in the English Championship, it returned to the Premier League this season.
In fact, in January this year.
Manchester City also played against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in the third round of the FA Cup.
The final result of the game was that Manchester City established a 3:0 lead in the first half, and solidly defended in the second half and won steadily.
Between the two teams.
It can also be called an old rival.
Sunderland, which has returned to the Premier League, seems to have changed. For example, in the opening game, they defeated Tottenham 1-0 and won the first victory of the new season.
This is already one-third of their wins in the 2005-06 season.....
......
Half an hour before the game, in the player tunnel.
Su Fei went to the bathroom and met Sunderland's current head coach and former Manchester United captain Roy Keane on the way back to the locker room.
The 36-year-old Roy Keane looked very energetic.
Su Fei actually had a deep impression of Roy Keane. He played in the first Manchester derby in the 2005-06 season.
He was in the second half of the schedule.Just left Manchester United and went to Celtic in the Scottish Premier League.
There are countless examples of retired stars becoming coaches.
Roy Keane, who successfully led Sunderland to the Premier League, can definitely be regarded as a successful example.
Unlike a certain Manchester United star later.
Changed 4 teams in 3 years, from the English Championship to the MLS to the English Championship, and relegated two teams in succession.
Yes, that's right, I'm talking about Luke...
Countless factual examples have proved that whether one can become an excellent head coach has no necessary connection with the achievements during the player period.
But Roy Keane proved it.
He, the former captain of Manchester United and the former captain of the Irish national team, does have the potential to become an excellent head coach.
"Your boss... Is your boss Pierce doing well? I saw the news that he was hospitalized during the Champions League last season..."
"Very well, he recovered very well. I talked to him on the phone a few days ago. He will be back to England soon."
"Oh, I see."
Su Fei didn't expect Roy Keane to come to ask about Stuart.
Based on his understanding of Stuart.
Could it be that he became friends with Roy Keane after the last FA Cup defeat against Sunderland?
Su Fei returned to the locker room and was puzzled.
He couldn't help but edit a text message to Stuart, telling the old man that Roy Keane just cared about him.
Ding Dong!
Soon, Stuart's reply came.
"Hahaha, he was from Manchester United before, how could he be my friend. But I did talk to him a few words last time in the FA Cup, and I also wished him a happy return to the Premier League this season... Uh... My tone was a bit cocky at the time, which might have irritated him. Maybe he was waiting to return to the Premier League this season and tell me in person that he was back, but I ended up not being in Manchester City hahahaha." - Forever Boss.
Seeing Stuart's "HaHaHa" all over the screen.
Su Fei could guess how weird Stuart was in the FA Cup at that time, which made Roy Keane's resentment so deep and remembered it for so long.
................................................
At this moment, in the away team's locker room.
Sunderland players looked at the head coach who came back from outside, his face blackened for no reason, and kept cursing in a low voice, and was a little overwhelmed.
Roy Keane's players were very hot-tempered, and of course when he was the head coach.
But he always had a reason.
I won't show my face for no reason.
So.
The Sunderland players were confused, not knowing who had offended their head coach.
Goalkeeper Craig Gordon.
He stretched his ears and tried to hear clearly what Roy Keane was mumbling.
After a while.
He lowered his voice and whispered to his teammate McSheain.
"The boss kept mumbling something about Pierce... Pierce... Pierce... Maybe he received some bad news from him. Pierce might be his relative or close friend, and something bad happened to him. He was very worried, so he felt very uncomfortable. Oh, poor boss. Pierce must be a very important person to him."
