Chapter 738: Becoming a King and Defeating a Villain
Early the next morning, Gao Han landed at the home stadium of the China City team, and the news of the key game of the La B League quickly spread throughout Spain and occupied the pages of major media newspapers.
Chinatown's thrilling 3-2 win over Sares moved them up to fourth in the standings, much to the admiration of countless media reporters and fans, as they have one of the lowest average ages in La Liga, just a little higher than Sevilla II, who are currently bottom of the table and have been relegated early.
Due to the conditions of the Aldevilla Stadium of the China City team, the game was not broadcast live, so the media could only publish photos of Gao Han's presence at the scene, accompanied by text reports, among which the report of Marca newspaper was the most detailed.
Everyone knows that Javier Matayana, deputy editor-in-chief of Marca Daily, is Gao Han's best friend, so over the years, Marca Newspaper has always been able to get some inside information about Gao Han, and has also attached great importance to the report on the Chinese City team.
This time, Matayana was even invited to accompany Gao Han into the dressing room after the game.
"From the moment we walked into the locker room, we deeply felt the high status of Gao Han in this team. ”
But Matayana also said that Gao Han visited the dressing room as the club's owner and fully respected Pochettino and the coaching staff, including that he stopped outside the door before entering the dressing room and only entered after getting Pochettino's permission.
Matayana also mentioned another detail, that is, after Gao Han entered the dressing room, he did not give the slightest criticism to Ramirez, who was sent off the field with a red card, but praised his hard work on the field, hoping that he would continue to work hard.
His simple words reinvigorated the already depressed Brazilian midfielder. ”
The arrival of Gao Han made the winning Chinatown team even more elated, and made the team more combative.
After visiting the dressing room, Gao Han, with Pochettino's permission, invited all the players and the club to dine at a famous Chinese restaurant near Fuenlavrada to reward the team for their triumphant return.
At the end of his column, Matayana focused on commenting on this season's Chinatown team, believing that Pochettino's team can play to the fourth place in the current table with such a young team, and there is no doubt about the strength.
"However, now the battle for the first division of the Spanish Second Division has entered a white-hot stage, and every team is gritting their teeth and sprinting, and whoever makes a mistake will fall behind. ”
"The younger China City team should have been the most stressed, but now, with the arrival of the high cold, the team's morale has been stabilized, which is bound to make the China City team play better on the field. ”
"Come on, magical Chinatown!"
Surprisingly, apart from the news on the day of the match, Gao Han never appeared in the newspapers in the following days.
Many media reporters and fans who rushed to Fuenlavrada after hearing the news even squatted outside the training base, but they never found any trace of Gao Han, and he seemed to have disappeared again.
But a week later, China City took on Huesca away.
With Ramirez out of the game, Pochettino had to change his midfield, starting Isco and stepping up their attacking efforts to win 3-1 at Huesca.
The match attracted more than 5,000 fans to the stadium, the highest attendance of the season for Huesca, but to the disappointment of reporters and fans alike, they never saw a trace of the high cold from start to finish.
But it wasn't until the second day of the competition that Matayana reported in his column again, and Gao Han was on the scene to supervise the battle.
This made countless media reporters feel sorry.
After the 40th round of La Liga, the league ranking changed again.
The highlight of this round was Sares' away challenge to Tenerife, but after just losing 2-3 to China City, Sarez lost to Tenerife 0-2, ushering in the end of the two-game losing streak.
Zaragoza won 3-0, Hercules also won all three points, and only Rayo Vallecano drew 0-0 in this round.
After this game, the ranking of the La Liga standings changed again, Sares and Tenerife are both 75 points, tied for the top spot, but Tenerife has the advantage of the results of the battle between each other, surpassing Sares and taking the lead.
Zaragoza is third with 74 points, China City is still fourth with 72 points, Hercules is fifth with 71 points, and Rayo Vallecano is five points behind Hercules and has already begun to fall behind.
For the China City team, the current situation is still unclear, and only by winning all of the remaining two rounds of the league can the team hope to succeed in the first division, and this will have to wait for the opponent to make mistakes.
It can be said that the top five teams in the league have all felt an alarming amount of pressure so far in the league, and whoever can't bear it will fall behind like Rayo Vallecano.
Gao Han is also very aware of this, so he is very cautious in his every move, except for the game, most of the time he spends most of his time nested in the villa in the Lafinka community, not out of the door.
But he knows everything about the China City team.
A week later, China City took to the Aldevilla Stadium to welcome Salamanca, who finished ninth in La Liga.
As a result, in the opening stage of the game, Salamanca took the initiative to attack, played better than the China City team, and took the lead in the fifteenth minute to break through the goal of the China City team.
This almost pushed the China City team to a dead end.
But seven minutes later, after a red card suspension in the previous round, Ramirez, who was under pressure, used a long-range shot to equalize for the Chinese city team.
The Brazilian midfielder's outstanding performance won the cheers of the fans at the stadium.
Just ten minutes later, Falcao added another goal to put the score in check.
But just before the end of the first half, it was Ramirez's back-cut shot that extended the score for the Chinese city team.
Entering the half-time break with a score of 3-1, the performance of the China City team did not decrease at all after the rematch in the second half.
Back-to-back goals from Diego Costa and Falcao eventually sealed the win for China City.
Five to one, China City won at home.
But just after the game, an exciting piece of news reached the Aldevilla Stadium.
…………
…………
"All the players and fans of the China City team, good news, good news!"
"We have just received news from Saares, who have just drawn 1-1 at home to Celta Vigo. ”
"There is also news from the Canary Islands that Tenerife was beaten by the visitors Casdilan in the last minute after scoring a goal at home, and finally lost the crucial game 1-2. ”
And in Madrid, not far north of us, Rayo Vallecano, who had been underperforming in successive rounds, finally came alive, falling behind twice at home and drawing twice at Zaragoza. ”
These words from the stadium radio caused the entire Aldevilla stadium to fall into a dead silence.
Everyone was stunned and didn't react for a while.
Gao Han stood in the stands, and the whole person was Spartan, feeling a little messy.
Until Lin Xia, who was standing beside him, took his hand vigorously, "Second, second, second in the standings." ”
Gao Han's whole person suddenly came to his senses.
It was also at this time that the stands of the 5,000 fans erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
The players were in the stadium for a while.
2nd in the standings!
After this round, the China City team actually climbed to the second place in the league!
Gao Han kept shaking his head, he couldn't believe his ears, but he was a little moved and wanted to cry.
He didn't expect the team to play to this extent.
After 41 rounds, Sarazes returned to the top of the standings with 76 points, Tenerife was at the top of the table for a day, unable to withstand the pressure, still only 75 points, Zaragoza drew in this round, chasing one point, but also 75 points.
The Chinese city team won again, also with 75 points.
However, among the three teams with the same points, China City relied on the excellent results in the strong dialogue and the advantage of goal difference to enter two positions in one go, ranking second in the league, Tenerife in third and Zaragoza in fourth.
This undoubtedly brought a great surprise to everyone.
But after Gao Leng calmed down, it was still very dangerous to think about it.
There is still one final round of the league left, and the current situation has entered the most critical moment.
It can even be said that not many people pay attention to the league championship at all, and everyone just wants to keep the promotion spot.
With 76 points from Sares, 75 points from Chinatown, Tenerife and Zarago, and 74 points from Hercules, in the final round, who will have the last laugh if any of these five teams are expected to compete for the three promotion places?
"La Liga has been more competitive this season than we were back then. Cantarero smiled wryly.
In the season when Gao Han coached Atletico Madrid to the first division, the overall strength of the second division was very strong, and the competition was extremely fierce, but Atletico Madrid can be described as a champion and did not give other teams the slightest chance, but this season is different.
The three points of the final round determine the difference between heaven and hell.
Of the five teams, only three were able to successfully be promoted, and the remaining two will remain in La Liga, which is undoubtedly quite cruel.
After all, every team has come to this point because everyone on the team has worked together over the past year.
But professional football is like that, the winner is the prince and the loser is Kou.
However, Gao Han's main concern at the moment is not whether the team can be upgraded.
Of course, he was very important about being able to grab a promotion spot, but there was another thing that he and the management had to think about.
That's how the team's summer transfer work.
After the tempering of the Spanish League this season, this summer will definitely eliminate some players who are not suitable for the team, and at the same time, it is necessary to introduce a few new players appropriately to strengthen the competitiveness of the team.
Up front, there are few problems, with Falcao, Diego Costa, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan and Academy Hazard all heavily used by Mauricio Pochettino.
But the problem is in the midfield.
The winter break was arguably a watershed moment for Chinatown's performance this season, marked by the arrival of Marcos Senna.
His appearance has stabilized the midfield of the China City team, and also freed Schneiderlin and Ramirez, allowing young players such as Isco, Koke, and even Verratti to get opportunities to play one after another.
But the problem is that there is no one in the current Chinatown squad who can fill the void of Marcos Senna.
This becomes a big problem.
The same situation also comes from the backline, the main players are good, but the bench lineup is not very strong, which will inevitably make it difficult for the team to play for a long time.
If it's just La Liga, that's fine, but if it's really promoted to La Liga, then you have to think about it more.
What's more, in case of promotion to La Liga, the China City team will definitely have to invest a lot of money to renovate the Aldevilla stadium, especially the surrounding stands, at least to be closed, but also to set up a multimedia system.
Otherwise, how to broadcast live?
But when he thought of money, Gao Han had a headache.
