"He still gambled in the end. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

On the day of the Champions League final, in the stand of the chairman of the Luzhniki Stadium, Gao Han, as an important guest, sat on the last podium, and he was accompanied by his wife Lin Xia, who flew from Spain, as well as the head coach of the Spanish national team, Luis Aragonés.

The European Championship is imminent, and the Spanish coach, who has risked everything for the national team and bet on his lifelong prestige, naturally wants to personally supervise the game, and by the way, see how Pep Guardiola's team faces Manchester United, which has excellent impact, and how the process and outcome are.

I believe that this game will have a huge reference for his upcoming European Championship.

As soon as Gao Han got the starting lists of both sides, his first reaction was that Ferguson bet.

Veterans Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are both on, but youngster Nemanja Matic has been left on the bench by him, and with Berbatov, Nani and Wayne Rooney, Ferguson has given the answer very clearly.

He's going to give it a go.

Unexpectedly, he is a lot older, but his temper is still so strong, and he actually fell for Guardiola's agitation. Aragonés shook his head a little amusedly, apparently incredulous.

You know, Ferguson is a famous coach in European football for a long time, and he was actually played by a young man, isn't that a joke?

Gao Han didn't refute, but just smiled bitterly, because he knew that Ferguson was not in the agitation method.

After all, he is such a person, he would rather die in battle than back down.

For a long time, many people's impression of Ferguson and Manchester United is pragmatism, but in fact, in the bones of Ferguson and Manchester United, this team has always insisted on attacking football, and Ferguson has always used his understanding of football to transform Manchester United's attack and organization.

So, for the past few years, Manchester United have been criticized for not bringing in defensive players.

Just yesterday, Gao Han's advice was to attack first in the opening game, score the best, and disrupt Barcelona's rhythm if he can't score, and then retreat and counterattack defensively, but Ferguson obviously did not take it.

As he said yesterday, he wants to get a goal first.

As long as they score one goal first, then United will have enough chips to maneuver with Barcelona and force the opponent to press out, and then the counter-attack will be much easier, but the risks of this style of play are also very high.

Once Barcelona scored first, Ferguson's team was finished.

This is also the reason why when Gao Han asked him yesterday if he could hold on, Ferguson did not answer.

I guess he didn't know what to do in his own heart.

Both sides have reached the Champions League final, and both sides have basically played according to their own concepts, and they are both insisting on themselves.

"This game is expected to be decided in the first half at the latest. Gao Han said to Aragonés.

The Spanish coach nodded, "It's not Matic, the midfield defense interception is gone, Giggs and Scholes have strengthened the attack, the two sides are obviously going to fight against each other, I really don't know where he got the confidence." ”

As a Spaniard, Aragonés is clearly more bullish on Barcelona.

The same is true for Gao Han, but he believes that Ferguson's Manchester United is not without opportunities, and it depends on whether they can grasp it.

After all, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona is not too strong, especially the defensive problems are still a lot.

…………

…………

The race also seems to be moving in the direction that Gao Han expected.

From the beginning, Manchester United, wearing a white shirt, took the initiative to press the attack, and caused a foul on Barcelona youngster Sergio Busquets in the first minute, Manchester United's free-kick went straight to the goal, causing Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés to get out of his hands, but Rooney was blocked by Pique when he made a stoppage.

The Reds then continued to attack Barcelona and threatened repeatedly.

Ferguson's calculation was as he had said before, to grab a goal first.

In the first 10 minutes, United had four shots on goal, but they basically didn't catch them, which also made all the Manchester United fans who came to the scene very excited.

But in the 10th minute, when Manchester United was at its most aggressive, Barcelona suddenly played a counterattack, Iniesta broke through with the ball in the middle, passed to the right side of the penalty area, Eto'o cleverly deducted Ferdinand, and stabbed Van der Sar's goal before Carrick could fill in, breaking the deadlock on the field.

1 to 0!

A sudden goal completely stunned all Manchester United fans, but Gao Han, who was sitting in the stands, sighed softly, and looked at the time on the scoreboard, it was less than eleven minutes.

"It's over. Gao Han shook his head.

Unless Alex Ferguson's side can pull off another miraculous comeback similar to the one they did against Bayern Munich in the '99 Champions League final, the victory will be for Barcelona and for Pep Guardiola.

Of course, after the game, there will be countless media who will give some credit to Gao Han.

Aragonés also looked a little depressed, this is the Champions League final, and there is no suspense after playing for eleven minutes, how boring is this?

Ferguson is still paying the price for his aggressiveness. ”

Gao Han nodded, "If in the seventh minute, after the third shot was played, Manchester United slowed down and took a defensive position, Barcelona would not have scored so easily. ”

But there are no ifs on the football field, and if Ferguson chooses to gamble, then he has to take the risk of betting.

"In fact, Barcelona's midfield interception is not enough, as long as Manchester United is calm, this game will still have to be played, but it's a pity that ......" Gao Han shook his head and sighed, and then looked at Aragonés.

"One of the smartest things you've done is naturalizing Marcos Senna, and I dare say the combination of Xavi, Marcos Senna and Xavi Alonso has made Spain's midfield the best in Europe. ”

After hearing this, Aragonés looked at Gao Han with a smile, "I say, are you praising me?

Gao Han shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, of course it's me, do you need to say?

Both of them laughed.

When Aragonés naturalized Marcos Senna, it was still Gao Han's suggestion, because Marcos Senna was unable to be selected for the Brazilian national team for a long time, and Deco, who was also unable to be selected for the national team, was naturalized and went to Portugal, so why couldn't Marcos Senna go to Spain?

What's more, Marcos Senna is also an extremely scarce type of player in Spain.

"To be honest, one of the biggest headaches right now is whether or not to bring Raul. ”

After laughing, Aragonés came up with his biggest problem.

He was the third person to call Gao Han for help during Bayern Munich's victory celebration parade, and the two sides made an appointment to watch the Champions League final together, and Gao Han should also fulfill his duties as a technical adviser to the Spanish Football Federation.

Even if he has been slacking off for years.

"Recently, from the president of the Football Association, to ordinary fans, and many celebrities, and even the players of the national team, they are talking to me about this matter, and they basically have the same attitude, even if it is a substitute, or even if he is not allowed to play, he should bring Raul. ”

Gao Han understood Aragonés' difficulties, and it was indeed a difficult choice to make.

From an emotional point of view, Raul had to bring.

To put it mildly, in the past few years, Spain has almost been brought over by Raul, and he can be said to have supported Spain's most difficult trough period, without Raul, Spain does not know what to do.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the greatest star in Spain in the last two decades.

But from a rational point of view, Raul must not bring it.

As an iconic player in Spain, Raul represents many interests behind him, whether he admits it or not, his presence is an obstacle to the reform of the national team, making it difficult for a group of international players who look to him as the leader to completely obey Aragonés's orders.

The Spanish national team's qualifying results improved with the deposition of Raul, and then Aragonés was able to smoothly implement a series of reforms in the Spanish national team, and eventually led the team to the European Championships.

But if, at this time, he calls Raul back to the national team, what kind of signal will it send to other players?

More importantly, after Raul joined the team, to use it or not?

Yes, he is a little out of step with the style of the national team, but he doesn't need to let it go, isn't that a landmine for the national team with his own hands?

At that time, how many people will stand up and accuse Aragonés?

What's more, recruiting into the national team but not using it, isn't this clearly humiliating and giving alms?

Gao Han admires Raul very much, but also sympathizes with him very much.

Raul's greatest sorrow is not that he played for Real Madrid and was at odds with Atletico Madrid-born Aragonés, but that he was born at the wrong time.

He's a great star to look up to, but Gao Han doesn't think bringing him to the Euros will be a good thing.

"Luiz, players can be emotional, but managers can't, I believe that when so many people are trying to persuade you, you still come to ask me this question, which just proves that in your heart, there is already an answer, but you need someone to support you and give you the courage to make this choice, right?"

Aragonés was speechless, Gao Han had indeed understood his thoughts.

'Sometimes I really wonder if I should harden my heart and say no to Raul, you know, at his age, this is probably going to be his last European Championship and maybe even his last major for Spain. ”

Even if he has never been very compatible with Raul, he also feels that from the emotional aspect, he should indeed give Raul a place, not to mention, Raul himself has compromised in order to participate in the European Cup.

Gao Han can understand and sympathize with Raul.

"But as a manager, we always have to think about the whole team, and sometimes we even have to give up some emotions and even do something hurtful to others, you say?"

Aragonés was silent.

He understands all the truths that Gao Han said, even better than Gao Han, but it is still difficult for him to make this decision.

This is destined to be an imperfect decision.

Even if Aragonés and Spain win the European Championship in the future, they will definitely regret Raul's absence.

But Gao Han is right, this is the fate of the head coach.

Like Alex Ferguson in the stadium, he would rather be like Don Quixote and make a suicidal charge against a force than back down, because he knows his team and knows that there are things that he would rather lose than live without.

The same choice is still on Pep Guardiola, but luckily he was on the stronger side tonight.

And this much-anticipated Champions League final also ended with Pep Guardiola's Barcelona defeating Alex Ferguson's Manchester United 2-0.

The Spanish coach led the team to the treble in his first season in charge.

What's even more interesting is that in the UEFA Super Cup at the end of August, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona will be challenged by the cold Bayern Munich, and this master-apprentice duel is bound to attract the world's attention.
