Chapter 407

"You can rest assured that everything outside is just a rumor. I don't care about it. I hope you won't be affected by it and be distracted."

Before the first training class in the morning, Gao Han specially communicated with the players.

As early as when he came to Harrington, he said these things to his assistants in the coach's office.

No matter the assistant, the player or even himself, the most important thing now is to concentrate on playing well in the league and continue to advance in the cup, especially in the UEFA Cup.

The Premier League has played 29 rounds, and Chelsea are still the best. It's just in the last two rounds that they won the championship ahead of time. On the whole, the only suspense is whether Eto'o's goal can surpass Henry's.

And the next 30 rounds will be crucial.

Chelsea's opponent is wolves, their strength is not strong, the blues are home combat, alpine is very confident.

But Arsenal is home to Manchester United, this strong dialogue will be a big test for the Gunners, because only if Arsenal win, can they continue to maintain the pressure on Chelsea.

Everyone knows that it is impossible to reverse Chelsea, but Arsenal have to.

It's not about the score anymore, it's about the spirit.

Fighting hard to the last second is the same as giving up halfway. Although the final result is a loss, the significance is totally different. The influence on the team, the players and the fans is also quite different.

And if Arsenal can't win Manchester United at home before the FA Cup semi-final, it will have a big impact on their FA Cup matches.

So now it's up to Arsenal.

As for the FA Cup, the opponent in the semi-final has been determined. Millwall is not strong enough. Chelsea can be sure to advance to the final, but I don't know whether it will be Manchester United or Arsenal?

The real headache is the UEFA Cup. The draw of the final eight knockout match was not good. It won the most powerful inter among many teams, which is also known as an advanced final. Both sides are the hot spots to win the championship.

The schedule of the game is relatively favorable.

In the next week or two, every game is very important, but just before the key schedule, the media exposed such a piece of news, so Gao had to clarify with the players to stabilize their morale.

"In the next two weeks, every game is very important for us. I ask each of you to focus on everything and play every game as a final. I have only one goal..."

Everyone held their breath and looked straight at their head coach.

"Victory! Victory!! Or victory! "

The players immediately cheered and clapped.

Gao Han was also quite satisfied with their reaction. With a wave of his hand, he indicated that they all began to train.

…………

…………

From the time of Atletico Madrid, the cold training has been known for its pass control and high intensity.

Full 90 minutes, the training program is very tight, even the players' rest time is accurate to seconds, which makes every player have to do his best in training.

There are many media reporters also feel that it is precisely because of the high intensity of training, so the players trained in the cold often can play a better level in the game, because their training itself is very close to the actual combat.

After a training session, the players are exhausted, one by one with Yan sunflower like, drooping head, dragging a heavy pace, into the dressing room.

Gao Han went back to his office to prepare materials. He planned to hold a meeting with the coaching staff at noon to study the targeted training against Wolves in the afternoon.

The intensive one week double match has a great impact on the team. The most obvious thing is that there is not enough time to study the opponent and practice the targeted tactics to restrain the opponent, which is the most headache.

Therefore, the coaching team attaches great importance to this.

That is, when the cold is ready, the mobile phone on the desk suddenly rings.

Look at the caller ID, it's Abramovich.

Gao Han was stunned for a moment, but he caught him and connected the phone. "Hello, Roman."

"Hello, Gao Han." Abramovich's voice came over the phone.

"I'm sorry, but I have to explain that it was a coincidence that I met Jose Vega. We have common friends, so out of politeness, I invited him to stay for a meal, but we didn't get in touch."

"Well." Gao Han nodded, "I can understand."

"Really?"

"Of course." Gao Han said with a smile.

Abramovich was silent for two seconds. "Thank you."

"No Gao Han replied, "Roman, in fact, I always want to say that the team is in a crucial decisive period. I have to deal with different games every day. I really can't get away from it, so I hope the management can transfer the summer transfer to other people, so that I can concentrate on the next games."

On the phone, Abramovich was silent for a few seconds, "Gao Han, I don't understand what you mean."

"When I took over the transfer, it was just that the management was still integrating, so I went beyond my authority. But now the technical department has been integrated, and I believe they are competent, so I intend to focus on the game."

"But..."

"Roman." Alpine did not let him go on, "you should help me to reduce pressure, you know, I am nearly exhausted during this period of time, and although other people follow up, I will not give up completely."

After a few seconds of hesitation, Abramovich finally sighed.

"Well, since you insist, I'll talk to Bruce."

"Yes, thank you." Gao Han returns with a smile.

"No, I'm going to have a meeting with the coaching staff. Bye."

…………

…………

In the living room of the townhouse in London's Eaton square, Abramovich looks at the dead phone in front of him.

He found it difficult to understand, because Gao Leng gave up the right to transfer.

You know, all the professional managers are eager to grasp the fat difference firmly in their hands. Everyone who has participated in the transfer negotiations knows how much oil there is and how much room there is to operate.

But he didn't want it.

Does he really have no selfishness at all?

Really just trying to help Chelsea get results?

When Abramovich relayed Gao Han's words on the phone to pini Zahavi, granovskia and Bruce Barker in front of him, they were also a little surprised.

They all wanted to take back this power, but they didn't find a chance, but now Gao Han took the initiative to let it out.

You know, in the past few years, the fans have talked about the models of Manchester United and Arsenal, but within the Premier League, most clubs are seeking transformation, introducing the manager model and sports director model from the European continent.

The two models are similar in one way, that is, to change the traditional pattern of the head coach in the Premier League, to share the various powers of the head coach, to limit the scope of the head coach's power, and to form checks and balances.

The simplest point is that, in addition to Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, the change cycle of the Premier League is not long. It's quite good to be able to work for three years in a row. But there is a saying that every manager has his own good playing style and favorite players, so it's impossible for the team to restructure on a large scale after every change of manager, right?

Therefore, a fixed position between the head coach and the management, which can meet the long-term development planning of the football team leader, can be arranged to control the players in and out of the whole team, and even the selection of the head coach. Undoubtedly, this kind of loss can be reduced to the minimum.

This is also in line with the management mode of modern companies.

But in Chelsea, the status and influence of Gao Han is too high. In the chaotic situation at the beginning, the power granted to him is too great. As a result, he almost covers the sky with only one hand in Harrington, and even on the side of Stamford Bridge, most of them only follow his lead.

Of course, his coaching performance is really excellent, won the recognition of everyone.

Originally, the management did have the idea of introducing the sports director, but considering the particularity of alpine cold, they wanted to postpone the proposal. Unexpectedly, alpine cold has taken the initiative to give up power now.

This made many people present, even Bruce Barker and granovskia, Abramovich's cronies, feel stunned and admired.

"He is making concessions to avoid internal conflicts." Bruce Barker exclaimed.

Granovsky also nodded repeatedly. The cold weather really avoided a lot of potential conflicts, so that the team can prepare for the next game at ease.

But as soon as Bruce Barker's voice fell, pini Zahavi chuckled, "I think his men are very smart, but we are passive."

Everyone is a Leng, Abramovich is frowned, "how to say?"

"It seems that he has given up his power, but in fact, all the transfer and recruitment still need to consult him. If he does not agree, it is difficult for us to start the operation, but his move will win the unanimous approval of the players, even the media and fans. Look, how selfless it is."

Bruce Barker and granovsky frowned. Can we understand this from this angle?

"When he comes here, we will succeed in the recruitment, which is still his credit. But if he fails, the management will take the responsibility, just like he invited players and family members to his restaurant for dinner at Christmas. It's wonderful!"

Bruce Barker and granovskiia both heard their eyelids jump, then looked at Abramovich's face, looked at each other, and both chose silence.

They know when to say it and when not to say it.

"Marina, who does Alpine want to introduce?" Abramovich asked.

Glanofskia hastened to reply: "if he is a left back, he wants to bring in a player from Monaco, Evra."

"Evra?" Abramovich frowned and never heard of it.

"Yes, he's only 22 years old. He played in the low-level League of Serie A before. Later, he came back home and did well in nice of Fabregas. He switched to Monaco for two seasons and did well. Gao thinks that he is a world-class left back."

"What about midfield?"

"In midfield, Gao hopes to get demoted West Ham's Michael Carrick

Abramovich is still frowning, and he has never heard of this player.

Can such two players match the star shining Chelsea in his mind?

There was a sudden irritation in the Russian heart, followed by a deep breath.

Chelsea are their own team. Why think about others?

Thinking of this, Abramovich looked at pini Zahavi, "pini, the operation of Ashley Cole's progress should be speeded up, and, Vieira, Gerrard, and Bayern Munich's Ballack, three players, I want to get one."

Pini Zahavi immediately nodded with joy, "I understand."
