Chapter 1041: Really Enlightened!

"Alpine, Alpine!!Alpine!!"

When Gao Han walked into the Sorilla Stadium in Valladolid, the more than 20,000 fans in the stadium chanted his name.

In the past, because he was the head coach of other teams, it was rare for him to make such a high-profile public appearance at the home stadium of the away team, and even if the fans met by chance, most of them greeted him, but unlike now, he sat in the middle of the chairman's stand.

From this moment on, he can be regarded as truly playing the role of the boss of Chinatown.

After Gao Han, the general manager of Chinatown, Armando Marcos, and the technical director Cantarero, who walked out of the grandstand passage, are both veterans of Chinatown for many years and have made great contributions to the development of Chinatown in the past few years.

Armando Marcos is responsible for the day-to-day operations and commercial operations, making Chinatown a bright new icon in world football, while Cantarero is in charge of the competitive field, making Chinatown a dark horse in European football.

After years of training, both men are already some of the best managers and technical directors in European football.

The fans at the scene also applauded them.

Because it was the first game of the new season, coupled with the cold supervision, Valladolid was also very concerned about this, and the club's senior management personally accompanied the supervising game, and a group of people greeted politely in the stands, and soon saw the players of both teams walking into the field.

Valladolid's head coach Juan Ignacio has also just taken over this season, having previously coached Levante, starting high and going low, and his first season was very impressive, but his second season was mediocre.

Judging from the transfer situation this summer, Valladolid is also obviously not the slightest ambitious, and the season strategy should still be based on relegation, and the net investment in the transfer market is only 250,000 euros, which is really difficult to be satisfied.

Because after La Liga re-signed a broadcast contract this season, each club was able to share more money, which also made the overall investment in La Liga significantly improved, but Valladolid's investment was indeed embarrassing.

Of course, this is their home stadium and the first game of the new season, and the China City team cannot afford to be careless.

"Have you heard that Zidane is going to play this game?"

Gao Han had just sat down, turned his head to the side, and asked Cantarero with concern.

The technical director shook his head, "I don't know, I just heard that there is a Champions League qualifier in midweek, so there may be a proper rotation and I won't do my best." ”

This is also largely in line with the comments of the Technical Group.

Judging from the performance of the past two seasons, the lack of a reasonable and effective rotation mechanism has always made Chinatown unable to take care of the two fronts of the Champions League and the league, but as a team that has won the fourth place in the league in La Liga for several consecutive years, Chinatown must learn to fight on multiple fronts, and rotation is the top priority.

What's more, the team is full of talent, and if there is no rotation, it is difficult to balance the players' playing opportunities, and if they don't get training, how can the youngsters grow?

These are all difficult questions for Zidane, and it will be up to him to come up with the answers tonight.

While everyone was chatting, the starting lineups for the game between the two sides came out.

When Gao Han got the starting list, he was obviously a little surprised.

Goalkeeper David De Gea, Alberto Moreno, De Vrij, Godin and Montoya at the back, N'Golo Kante in midfield, Verratti and De Bruyne in the middle, and Hazard, Morata and Antoine Griezmann in the front three.

Zinedine Zidane has rotated in multiple positions, hiding a number of players including Raphael Varane, Danilo and Isco, and although he is saving for the Champions League qualifiers in midweek, is this too much?

You know, this is the first race of the new season.

Cantarero and Armando Marcos also looked at Gao Han after reading the starting lineup, and the three looked at each other.

"It seems that he is very confident. Gao Han smiled.

Cantarero nodded, without self-confidence, Zidane would definitely not dare to play like this.

In the first round, it was a new coach who took office, and it was impossible for him not to want to win.

'I've heard that Makelele has also trained on Ilja Ramendi and N'Golo Kante before, and Zinedine Zidane has also trained a number of players, such as Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann, as well as on Hesse's shots. Armando Marcos grinned.

Gao Han nodded again and again, Makelele was a top midfielder in the past, during his time at Paris Saint-Germain, he was seen training Rabiot, and now he has opened a small stove for Ilia Ramendi and Kante, which is undoubtedly excellent.

As for Zidane, it is undoubtedly extremely appropriate for him to carve Hazard and others.

Now it's up to him to tap into the potential of this team.

Once the match began, Chinatown took advantage of the serve from the first minute and firmly controlled the ball.

De Bruyne was deployed in the middle of the midfield for this game, partnering Verratti, the two were responsible for combing the midfield and feeding the cannonballs to his teammates up front, plus Hazard on the left side of the front, which made Chinatown's possession advantage after the start of the game very obvious.

But Valladolid is playing at home in the end, and is not willing to be robbed of the opportunity by Chinatown at the beginning, taking the initiative to exert pressure, plus it is the first game of the new season, Chinatown is obviously not fully in the state, resulting in the scene becoming a little stalemate after the opening, and the situation cannot be opened.

"Take your time, don't rush. Cantarero said nervously.

The more times like this, the more you need to be calm and rational, and the more you are in a hurry, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

After hearing this, Gao Han glanced at him, shook his head and smiled, "You can see Zidane's appearance on the sidelines, he has been prepared for this, relax, and it will be fine." ”

Sure enough, after Gao Han finished speaking, in less than five minutes, Chinatown began to threaten.

Mainly because after 20 minutes, Valladolid could not continue to adhere to this full-court pressing tactic, because they had to consider the physical exertion.

But Chinatown was clearly unforgiving, pressing forward with Valladolid's rhythm.

In the 28th minute, De Bruyne cut past a defender in the middle and passed to the left side of the penalty area.

After Hazard took the ball on the left side, he quickly dribbled the ball and kept approaching the defender, forcing the opponent to retreat again and again, and finally wanted to break the ball with his foot before retreating to the penalty area, but Hazard was already prepared, and he deducted the opponent's kick with a button, and after dribbling the ball directly into the penalty area, he deducted the opponent's central defender, volleyed with his right foot, and the ball hit the lower right corner.

The whole goal came very suddenly, but it was spectacular.

Hazard was excited to score a goal.

Gao Han in the stands also jumped up from his seat and cheered loudly.

It was a beautiful goal!

'It's clear that Hazard is getting more confident and aggressive. ”

Gao Han was very pleased to see Hazard's progress.

If it was in the past, Hazard would have dribbled and sought to cooperate with his teammates, but this time he decisively chose to go it alone, passing two opposing players in one breath and scoring Chinatown's first goal of the season, which can indeed be said to be quite a welcome change.

"yes, this kid is really enlightened. Cantarero said.

Sometimes players are like that.

For Eden Hazard, whether it is Gao Han, Pochettino, or Cantarero, he has been told many times to play more aggressively, more solitary and more selfish, but it has not worked.

It wasn't until last season's game against Barcelona that he showed signs of that.

But I didn't expect him to bring such a surprise change in the first game of the new season, which is really surprising.

It is not difficult to see that Zidane's training of him has also had an effect.

At least Hazard just entered the penalty area from the left, and the dazzling technical moves were really pleasing to the eye.

…………

The first goal came suddenly, but no one expected that the second would come sooner.

It was Eden Hazard who cut inside on the left and passed to Verratti, who sucked straight behind him, before Antoine Griezmann cut in and scored with ease, just three minutes after the first goal was scored.

With two goals in three minutes, Chinatown can be said to have established the lead in one fell swoop.

After the goal, China City played more relaxed, especially in terms of passing and controlling, more calmly.

N'Golo Kante also covered a wide range of midfield as always, intercepting and tackle and running all over the field, which left an extremely impressive impression, and his ability to take and play the ball was good, ensuring that the team's midfield and backfield pass control was solid.

After the rematch in the second half, Chinatown launched another wave of attacks.

Just five minutes later, Kevin De Bruyne had a chance down the middle, getting rid of a defender and advancing with the ball before curling a ball from the edge of the box, which was so sudden that goalkeeper Diego reacted quickly enough to save the ball in a flying save.

But the ball still fell into the box, and Morata in the back row followed in time, and before the ball landed, he directly pulled out his leg and shot angrily, blasting the ball into Valladolid's goal.

Three to zero!

After taking the lead, Zidane began to make substitutions in the 60th minute.

First Pogba was used for Verratti, then Jesse for Eden Hazard and finally Koke for Antoine Griezmann.

By this time, it was already the eightieth minute.

In the end, China City won 3-0 away to Valladolid thanks to goals from Eden Hazard, Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata.

Although it was a complete victory, but throughout the game, Chinatown still did not play smoothly, but, considering that it was the first game of the new season and a large rotation, both the players and the team obviously have not yet entered the game, and it is already very good to be able to get off to a good start.

After the game, Gao Han also took Cantarero and Armando Marcos to the team's locker room to congratulate all the players in public and thank them for their wonderful performance in this game.

After playing away from Chinatown, the first round of La Liga is basically over.

The best team was Barcelona.

Martino arrived for the first time, only to win 7-0 at home to Levante in the first round of the new season.

Messi and Pedro both scored with one pass and two shots, Cesc Fabregas provided two assists, Ibrahimovic, Xavi and Alves all scored one goal each, and Barcelona performed quite eye-catching.

The possession rate of the whole game was also as high as 76%, and Levante led 6-0 in the first half alone, and Levante only had four shots on goal in the whole game, and one shot on target was simply desperate.

Not only Spanish football, but the whole of European football was intimidated by Barcelona's strength.

Even the media in Catalonia exclaimed that the invincible and invincible Barcelona team has finally returned!
