Something in the air

weve suffered absolute heartbreak today in the Asian Champions League final going to down to our rivals Shandong Luneng, despite the final being played at our ground we couldnt give the fans the trophy we have been itching for

what more can i say?..... absolutely gutted with this result, despite dominating the match we could not find the breakthrough. Then with minutes remaining and Guangzhou pushing players forward Fuli executed the perfect counter attack and went ahead and eventually won the match 1-0

we knew there was plenty of work to do in the second leg , but who could have thought we would have gone up 2-0 inside four minutes and we never looksd back winning the match 5-3, the highlight would have to be Valentin Eysseric getting a hattrick

Valentin Eysseric went on to win the Golden boot with 11 goals

As I sit poolside sipping on a XXXX Gold i realise that ive got life pretty damn easy right now, no daily training, no emails, no owners barking down my ear. but i do miss China, well not China in particular but my old players at Guangzhou and the good relations i had with all players and staff.
do I miss the day to day hustle and bustle of management? of course I do, who wouldn't? do i want to get back into management? bloody oath I do, my family are driving me nuts!!.. its December 2015 and ive been out of work for 2 months now i need to find work. time to check my emails. so I get up from my pool chair and stumble to my office.
as i sign into my emails i notice there are 4 unread messages from my agent stating there are currently four clubs interested in my services. Central Coast Mariners, Melbourne Victory, Black Aces of South Africa and Cerezo of Japan.

i immediately message my agent and tell him to inform all four clubs im not interested.

time for another beer i think to myself as i walk back down to my pool
