Chapter 59

"Tomorrow's King's Cup game will undoubtedly be very difficult, but everyone in our team has confidence in the new manager. He told us that the team can win away and reverse. I believe the team is developing in a good direction."

That's what team captain Juan Carlos Aguilera said in an interview with Marca.

"We all know what this game means. There is no need to mobilize. We will all try our best."

That's what veteran Tony munios said.

"If we can score early in the game, we still have the possibility to turn the table away from home, and everyone in our team is dedicated to preparing for the game. We will try our best to beat our opponents."

It was Kiko who said that.

"It's really a disappointing score to be 2-0 at home, but we haven't given up yet. We'll give each other a 2-0 or more away, and we'll get the promotion right!"

This is Fernando Correa.

"There's no doubt that we're 2-0 down, but that's not a problem. Palecano is not a sure winner

"There is still a second leg and we have enough chances to make up for the mistakes we made in the first leg

"Barecano is a very tough team, but we will beat our opponents away and get the promotion right

This is what Alpine said!

……

Madrid, Calderon stadium, President's office.

Fat old hill sat behind his desk, looking at the TV hanging on the wall in front of him, laughing.

"He really has a way of persuading these veterans."

Sitting opposite him, hill, serezo and Paul futre all nodded in surprise.

It never occurred to anyone that Gao Han would be able to persuade these veterans to stand up for him in just one day.

"He's really good. When he came back to sports city at noon that day, he directly asked Carlos Pena to arrange a meeting with the players, and then he took charge of the training nonstop. It's very hard."

Old hill grinned and said, "young people, if you have energy, it should be like this."

"What happened to Salva..." Paul futre asked again.

Anyway, Salva is the center of Atletico Madrid. To sell him, old hill must nod.

At the mention of Salva, old hill's bloated round face completely changed color.

"If you sell this kind of bastard, you will sell it!"

Speaking of this, old hill face a ruthless, "however, also as Gao Han said, want to go, 15 million euros, not a cent less, otherwise, the second half of the season will give me sit dead on the bench!"

For the handling of this matter, the cold style is still very appetizing to old hill, tough enough!

Hill and serezo looked at each other with a wry smile.

Ten million euro aid is a luxury to sit on the bench.

But they also understand that sometimes to manage a team is to build up prestige.

This time, Salva crossed the line!

"Paul." Old hill suddenly looked at the technical director, "how many chances do you have to win in the fight against balecano?"

A simple question, but let the other three people in the office are silent.

Just now, on TV, the coach and the players chanted slogans, but this kind of thing everyone knows, can you take it seriously?

Although there are many Spanish teams around Madrid, it is clear to all that balecano is difficult.

Under the guidance of Juande Ramos, this season, he beat Villarreal 5-1, CELTA 3-0, Royal Society 4-1 and Santander 4-1. All these big wins are real and take place at home.

The two World War II draw with Barcelona and the two World War II draw with Real Mallorca of Aragones also show the difficulty of this team.

Last season, Atletico Madrid suffered from balecano twice in the La Liga League. In the first leg, it was also a 2-0 defeat. In the second leg, it was a 1-1 draw away from home. In addition, in this season's King's cup, it was a 2-0 match. In the past two years, Atletico Madrid and balecano had three matches, one draw and two losses!

It's no exaggeration to say that balecano is the victim of Atletico Madrid.

Seeing that all three were silent, old hill frowned, "what? Don't you dare to talk? "

Little Hill said with a smile, "father, now we are generally not optimistic outside. Even our fans are in a low mood. The media is even more..."

Old hill also understood that he wanted to distinguish something, but in the end it was just a helpless sigh.

Once upon a time, Atletico Madrid was a powerful team in La Liga, an invincible double champion, but now?

I can't even beat a single ballecano. This

At this moment, disappointment and despair once again occupied the public.

…………

…………

The day before the game, after the training, the players did not pack up and go home as usual.

They stay in the canteen of sports city for dinner, and they will stay in Sports City in the evening to prepare for tomorrow's game.

It's routine.

Tonight's pre game meal is more abundant than before, whether it's food, drink, play, let the players more satisfied.

The pre game meal is specially arranged as a buffet in alpine area, and players are allowed to perform impromptu, sing, dance and so on. Compared with the previous dull, the atmosphere tonight is more active.

From this meal, players can easily feel the intention of the new manager.

But the competition is coming, the players are eating, drinking and having fun at the same time, they are also very self-discipline.

No one knows better than them how to adjust their state.

Gao Han also took part in the pre match meal, but instead of being with the coaching staff or with the team reporters, he kept shuttling around the canteen and talking with different players.

No one knows what they are talking about except themselves.

Kiko has some strange behavior of the new manager until Gao Han comes to him after talking with Fernando Correa.

"What's up, Kiko?" Gao Han asked.

Kiko nodded. "It's good."

"It's a new attempt, and next I may consider eliminating pre game centralism."

"Abolish pre competition centralism?" There was something unexpected about Kiko.

The night before the game, the teams gather together to refresh themselves, which is a traditional practice.

"Yes, I don't think it's a good idea, and I don't think there's any place where players can relax and sleep more comfortably than at home Gao Han said lightly.

"But... In case..." Kiko had doubts.

Gao Han laughed, "it needs self-discipline, right?"

Kiko nodded, he felt that alpine is really different from other coaches.

For example, changing the pre game meal into a buffet, making every effort to prepare food that so many players can eat, and what he says now is to abolish the pre game centralism, which were firmly implemented by the former coaches.

Oh, by the way, there's another one.

"Sir, it seems that you didn't announce the list of tomorrow's competition today." Kiko warned.

Generally speaking, tomorrow will be the game, the coach will definitely announce the starting line-up in advance, but Alpine did not.

"In the future, I won't announce the starting list or the bulletin board."

"Why?" Kiko was a little surprised.

"Because I'll tell you myself."

Kiko was stunned, and then understood.

In fact, it's cruel for players to announce the starting list in public or post it on the bulletin board.

Although, as a professional player, playing football is a career of making money, in fact, in addition to making money, who does not want to get more opportunities to play? Who is willing to admit that he is inferior to others and can only be a substitute, not even a substitute in the big list?

Football game is very cruel, only 11 people, only 18 people in the big list, which is doomed, there will be a group of people excluded from the starting line-up, or even the big list.

It's easy to create a psychological gap.

Those players who can't get into the starting line-up and are not on the big list will definitely be hard to accept.

But if it is publicly announced, will it not greatly aggravate the gap and further damage the team's morale?

On the contrary, it's like Gao Han, who doesn't make public announcements and uses private communication to take into account the feelings of the players.

It's just

Kiko guessed something.

"As we said in the tactical seminar before, the team's existing lineup is not suitable for high defense. We need to withdraw the defense to the normal position, but in this way, the distance between the attack line and the opponent's goal will be widened."

At this point, Gao Han looked at keeke, very frank, not a bit of hypocrisy.

"So, we need to speed up the front."

If you say that, Kiko will understand.

He is a high center, not to mention the state of decline after the injury, even in the peak period, his speed is not so good, even the running ability is not strong, he is best at serving as a tactical fulcrum, so, in his career, there are not many goals.

I have to admit that it's much better to say that in private and explain the reasons than to directly open the starting lineup.

Kiko grinned bitterly. "Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

"What do I need to do?" Kiko asked again.

"Get ready."

"Well?"

"Well, I won't start you out of tactical need, but you will be on the list. I firmly believe that the team will need you and I hope you can play your best then."

That is to say, there may be a substitute.

"I understand!" Kiko nodded.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Gao Han asked.

Kiko thought, "can you tell me who will start the attack?"

"Villa and Torres, and lair play in the front midfield."

Kiko understands.

He has also seen the performance of these two players in the second team. The speed is really fast and the ability is very strong. They are definitely talents that can be made.

It is reasonable to start with villa and Torres when Salva is in the cold, Kiko and Fernando Correa have been seriously injured one after another, their condition has fallen a lot and their characteristics do not meet the needs of the team.

Moreover, they are old ministers in the cold, and they are familiar with it.

As for laiyar, this is a talent recognized by the whole team. Gao is also trying to activate him.

For example, in the past two or three days of training, Gao Han asked that during the group confrontation training, he was not allowed to pass the ball to Lyar in his own half court, for fear that the Portuguese boy would blindly rush after catching the ball and delay the fight.

Once in the other side's half, he let Lyar free and let him play.

It's really a good idea, isn't it?

Gao Han saw that Keiko didn't say anything more and patted him gently on the shoulder. "Believe me, from this game tomorrow, everything will be better."

Keeke felt the confidence from the cold and nodded heavily.
