Ronaldo Storms Guardiola's Office to Demand an Explanation!

Just as Tang Long, Ranocchia, Bonazzoli, and others were driving slowly towards the hospital, Ronaldo, with a gloomy expression, hurriedly entered Guardiola's office.

He walked briskly, as if carrying an invisible pressure, creating a strong sense of oppression in the corridor and drawing sidelong glances from passing staff.

"Hey, what wind blew you, superstar, here!"

Guardiola was sitting around a conference table with Chivu and several members of the first team's coaching staff for a brief meeting.

He looked up and saw Ronaldo, and his heart skipped a beat.

Why did Ronaldo show up uninvited?

However, his years of experience in dealing with people allowed him to quickly adjust his state, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face as he stood up to greet him.

Chivu and the other coaches beside him also turned their attention to him.

The office curtains were drawn and the lights were on.

Warm-toned lighting softly bathed everyone, and the walls were adorned with classic Manchester City match photos and various tactical boards.

When Ronaldo walked in, everyone realized that the meeting was likely to be interrupted.

As expected, Guardiola gave Ronaldo face and immediately adjourned the meeting.

Chivu and Ronaldo had met a few times and even crossed paths when they were both at Inter Milan.

Chivu took the initiative to step forward and try to strike up a conversation with Ronaldo.

However, Ronaldo simply nodded politely and said, "Hello, Christian, I'm very busy right now. Let's talk another day!"

His voice was flat and distant, and although he wore a polite smile, his eyes revealed a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.

Chivu was filled with astonishment.

In his memory, Ronaldo had always been a warm and cheerful person, without any airs. His attitude today was really puzzling.

After everyone left, the office fell silent, leaving only Guardiola and Ronaldo.

The spacious office was unusually quiet due to its emptiness, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall.

Guardiola walked to the window, drew back the heavy curtains, and let more sunlight stream in, spilling onto the neatly arranged sofa and coffee table.

He turned to look at Ronaldo, secretly wondering if Ronaldo had come to interrogate him, but he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.

Left with no other option, he could only try to break the awkward silence by reminiscing about their past.

"Ahem, time really flies. It feels like just yesterday we were fighting side by side in Barcelona, and now it's been a full 20 years."

(Guardiola and Ronaldo during their time at Barca)

Guardiola has the utmost respect for Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was once the most dazzling center forward in world football. His outstanding skills and extraordinary influence brought wider attention and love to football around the world, and he almost became synonymous with football.

Moreover, Ronaldo is also an agent, and his agents Tang Long and Bonazzoli both play for Manchester City under Guardiola.

Guardiola was well aware of Ronaldo's status in the football world and the special relationship between them, so he always showed Ronaldo more respect.

"Yes, Pep, you're right," Ronaldo's voice remained icy. "From the 1996-1997 season until now, it's been exactly 20 years. That summer I left Barca for Inter Milan."

Guardiola smiled and gestured for Ronaldo to sit on the sofa. He then walked to the coffee table, picked up the elegant coffee pot, and made Ronaldo a cup of coffee.

The two moved to the sofa in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window.

Guardiola glanced at Ronaldo discreetly, only to see Ronaldo still frowning, so he could only continue to chat casually, pretending to be nonchalant.

"1996, my God, that's such a distant time. It's just a pity that you were constantly injured that season, and we barely played together."

Ronaldo, a world-renowned football star, has been working his way up in the football world for many years.

He fought alongside many outstanding teammates and clashed with countless formidable opponents on the court.

As time goes by and the world changes, all those who once raced alongside him on the field have retired, leaving behind their beloved green field.

However, many of them did not leave football; instead, they later became top-notch coaches and continued to be active in the football world.

Just like England national team manager Mancini, and now sitting opposite him is Manchester City manager Guardiola.

However, Guardiola's seemingly ordinary recollection was like a spark falling into a powder keg, instantly igniting Ronaldo's anger.

"Pep! How dare you bring this up with me? It makes me furious just thinking about it!"

Ronaldo suddenly opened his eyes wide with anger, as if they were about to spit fire.

He suddenly stretched out his right hand and slammed it heavily on the glass coffee table in front of him. The loud "bang" echoed throughout the office, and the glass coffee table shook violently under the force, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Guardiola was so startled by this sudden action that he jerked so hard he almost jumped off the sofa.

If it were anyone else, even Manchester City CEO Berrada, slamming their fist on the table so brazenly in the manager's office, Guardiola would surely be furious and reprimand them mercilessly.

But before him Ronaldo, Guardiola, though filled with anger and confusion, could only suppress his rage and slowly ask:

"Are you alright, Roni? I didn't cause your injury, why are you taking it out on me?"

Guardiola's face was full of confusion. He really couldn't understand what he had said that touched Ronaldo's sore spot and made him lose his composure like this.

I was just reminiscing about our past, I didn't say anything, did I?

Ronaldo sneered, "Fine, then I won't beat around the bush with you, I'll speak frankly!"

"My client Bonazzoli, he's only 21 years old, he doesn't know how to protect himself at all, he can't even tell which is more important, life or football."

"We've been playing football for so many years, have you ever seen someone use their head to tackle the ball?"

"He already has a concussion. What if Hummels' studs had been sharper, or if he had kicked from a slightly different spot, shattering the lens of his eye?"

Ronaldo became more and more excited as he spoke, waving his hands in the air to illustrate the dangerous scene at the time.

Upon hearing this, Guardiola was taken aback at first, then slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing the reason for Ronaldo's visit.

He nodded slightly and said, "Oh, you mean this? Well, this matter is indeed very dangerous. I'll find a chance to warn him."

Ronaldo was not satisfied with Guardiola's answer. He leaned forward and spoke with a questioning tone.

"Tell me the truth, did you make him do this? Did you instill in him the idea of playing football even at the cost of his life during training and matches? Otherwise, how could he do something so incomprehensible!"

"You're the coach, you have a responsibility to the players, especially a clueless newbie like him."

Ronaldo's eyes were fixed on Guardiola.

"His father died young, and now only his mother and he are left to depend on each other. His mother is still in the hospital. If something happens to him and he becomes disabled, how will his family live in the future?"

Ronaldo's voice grew increasingly loud and aggressive.

Ronaldo was convinced that Guardiola had instructed Bonazzoli to do so, or at least instilled a similar philosophy in him during daily training.

His belief is not without basis.

Guardiola, who has never used social media before, surprisingly registered a social media account and uploaded a photo after the second leg match against Bayern.

In the photo, Tang Long, Bonazzoli, and Guardiola stand together, with Bonazzoli's thick bandage on his head being particularly noticeable.

This behavior certainly raises many questions.
