"Because of you!" Zidane said word by word with his eyes fixed on Gao Han.

"Because of me?" Gao Han was surprised.

Zidane smiled shyly again, nodded and said, "It's really because of you." ”

"Why?"

"We used to be opponents on the pitch and I've always wondered why your team always wins, for more than a decade, you've never lost a game, you've never been held to a draw, it's absolutely unthinkable in my decades of football memory, can you understand that feeling?"

Gao Han, of course, could not understand it, because he knew himself very well.

"When I decided to go back to football, everything about you was a curiosity for me and I wanted to solve these mysteries, so I started to make the transition to the dugout, and I went to Chinatown to sign up for a coaching course, and I was next to Mourinho at first. ”

Speaking of Mourinho, Zidane's face darkened, and he shook his head and sighed.

Almost everyone in Europe knows that Jose Mourinho will be out at the end of the season.

'You know what? I learned a lot from Jose Mourinho, but I quickly found out that what he really needed was not my ability, but my identity and status, and he wanted me to be on the same side as him, to scare the referees, to get the players emotional, to convince the management, which made me feel very uncomfortable. ”

"In contrast, I'm more interested in you, so I'll take the initiative to tell you that I want to be your assistant. ”

There is no doubt that Zidane looks gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact he is a very arrogant person.

Such a person will not be an assistant to anyone casually, and even the more familiar Gao Han is with Zidane, the easier it is to find that he will not be willing to take a back seat at all, he is just hiberning now, learning skills, and when the time comes, he will soar into the sky.

Perhaps, by that time, he will become the second Guardiola.

For a long time, many fans have been saying that the midfield position is always well-known, such as Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola.

But in fact, such a statement is not rigorous enough.

Strictly speaking, it should be said that stars who are good at teamwork tend to be more successful when they transition to head coach.

Just like Maradona, no one can doubt that he is one of the greatest players in the history of football, and his understanding and knowledge of football is definitely far beyond the vast majority, but why is he not successful as a manager?

Even Maradona himself couldn't figure it out, so much so that he was confused when he was interviewed, and he always didn't understand why his players just couldn't play well?

The reason is actually very simple, many things are so simple in his eyes, so simple that he can understand them without even thinking about it, but in the eyes of the players under him, it is difficult to understand these things, and he may not be able to figure it out after racking his brains.

Some people are thorough, some people are half-understood, and some people are confused, and if such people form a team, they will definitely play a mess.

But players who are good at teamwork are different, they are more understanding and tolerant of each other, they are more likely to master the skills of working with different people, they are able to make their teammates better when they play, and when they become managers, they are able to fully understand their players and maintain smooth communication.

There is no doubt that Pep Guardiola and Zinedine Zidane are both team-based players.

And Gao Han also believes very much that Zidane will be a successful head coach in the future.

"Sometimes, I look in the mirror, and it looks like a different me, a me that only I can see, who looks exactly like me, no different at all, but inside of him is like a volcano that can erupt at any moment, he has so many things to erupt that sometimes even I can't control him. Zidane shook his head.

Gao Han smiled after hearing this, "It's normal, and it's also a good thing." ”

Under Zidane's inquiring gaze, Gao Han continued: "You seem to be a very introverted person, you don't talk much, but you have your own ideas, you have your own opinions, you are a very strong person in your bones, and even you are very competitive, you will not be convinced by anyone, even me." ”

Zidane smiled slightly, which was a tacit acquiescence.

In fact, only someone of his character can propel him to the position of a legendary superstar.

Gao Han knocked Hazard before because he thought that the Belgians were weak, not selfish enough, and lacked this competitive spirit, which is a good thing in terms of human life, but a bad thing on the football field.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are both very competitive people, which can push them to continue to improve and discipline, so that they will always want to surpass each other.

"There's a volcano in your heart that condenses your understanding of professional football, your vision of the future of football, your philosophy and ideas about coaching a team...... Many, many, from the day you came into contact with football, it has accumulated over time, and now it is faintly at the moment of eruption. ”

Zidane nodded humbly.

"Being a manager is undoubtedly a very painful but also quite challenging and rewarding job, and once you get to that position, you choose to be alone, and everyone else around you is only responsible for giving advice, they give you references, they analyze for you, they give you different opinions and choices, but you have to make decisions independently. ”

'You want to get that kind of opportunity, or rather, you were born with a challenge like that, and that's true for players and it's going to be true when you're a manager. ”

When Gao Han said this, the conversation suddenly changed.

"You should know very well that in your position, if you want to be a manager, it's a matter of minutes, and in European football you have a lot of teams to choose from, but if you want to be successful, you have to have your own coaching philosophy and create your own core values. ”

"Do you think you're ready?"

Gao Han's question calmed Zidane's mood, and he became calm and restrained again, falling into deep thought.

He forgot that this was the first time Gao Han had told him these things, and every time he was asking himself.

In the past, he had been thinking about this all the time, sometimes as if he had figured something out, but sometimes he seemed to be confused.

"Take your time, if you really want to find it, you can find it. Gao Han encouraged.

Zidane and Pep Guardiola are really similar, their personalities are very similar, their styles are very similar, and even the tangled appearance of the two of them is similar.

Gao Han still clearly remembers that before Guardiola took over Barcelona, he called Gao Han all night, and said that he was not ready and had not found his own core concept, but what was the result?

It's not that he didn't find it, but he wasn't satisfied with what he found, he wanted more.

And what about Zidane?

Did he not find it, or, like Pep Guardiola, not satisfied with the status quo?

Gao Han was curious and eager to know the answer.

"By the way, I've got something going on this weekend. ”

"Weekend?" Zidane was taken aback, "there are games on the weekend." ”

"Yes, I know, so you're in charge of the weekend's games, including the preparation and tactics and the starting line-up, and you're going to lead the team away from home. ”

"Me?" Zidane was even more surprised, "I can't, I'm just an assistant coach, and I haven't even gotten a coaching certificate yet." ”

"It doesn't matter, you're just an assistant coach, no one will care if you have a certificate, besides, the head coach has something to ask for leave, of course it's the assistant coach on top, is it possible that there will be no coach at that time, who will command?"

When Gao Han said this, Zidane was speechless.

This situation has not happened before, the most famous is Ferguson, who was temporarily transferred by his wife to work as a coolie, and could not lead the team to play in the FA Cup, so he arranged for an assistant coach to lead the team.

"Don't worry, Arras is not a strong team, I'm sure you can. Gao Han smiled and encouraged.

Even if it is a full bench, Paris Saint-Germain's strength is better than that of the opponent.

"However, I would like to warn you not to be too gentle with those stinky boys, if you are too nice to them, they will hit the snake and ride it on your head in no time, so you must try to change your personality when you were an assistant coach. ”

After a pause, Gao Han said more, "Of course, don't get angry at every turn, look at me, basically don't get angry, but once I get angry, I will never give up, even if it's Mourinho, who is hysterical all day long, when you see him facing the player, will you reprimand him all day long?"

Zidane knew that Gao Han was pointing himself instructed, and immediately nodded his head instructively.

'The most important thing for those players is to figure out what they want, it's no use being loud, they have a higher salary than you and are more popular than you in European football, so you need to be more skillful. ”

"I understand. Zidane nodded solemnly.

"Okay, that's it, I trust you, do it. ”

After encouraging Zidane again, Gao Han sent the former French superstar out of the office.

Seeing him leave, Gao Han suddenly laughed.

I took the phone on the coffee table, skillfully found Cantarero's phone, and called it directly.

"Hey, Carlos, what's going on in Barcelona?"

Cantarero's work report soon came from the other side of the phone.

With Vilanova going to the United States for treatment, Barcelona announced that Lula would act as the head coach, but at this critical moment, whether it is for humanitarian reasons or to maintain the club's image, Barcelona has decided to temporarily retain Vilanova's head coach, but the team is also ready for a second hand and may change the coach at any time.

"According to the latest news, with the current situation of Vilanova, even if there is no change of manager this season, it is estimated that there may be a change of manager this summer, so Luis Enrique has put the negotiations with Celta Vigo on hold for the time being, I have been in contact with him, but he is wholeheartedly waiting for Barcelona's call. ”

"Is there much hope?" asked Gao Han with a frown.

"It is said that there are a lot of people within the management who support it, but it is impossible to do it accurately if it is not announced for a day. Cantarero replied.

Gao Han shook his head and sighed, this is the charm of the giant team.

"By the way, he has just received a text message from Marcelino that he has decided to take over Villarreal, he regrets not being able to coach Chinatown and hopes to have the opportunity to work together in the future. ”

Gao Han nodded, "I'll give him a call later, apologize and bless him personally." ”

"The matter of choosing a coach ......"

"You keep an eye on Luis Enrique first, I've got someone here, it's good, I want to see it again. ”

"It's rare to hear you say that about a person, who?" asked Cantarero curiously.

Gao Han laughed and sold Guanzi, "When the time comes, I'll tell you again." ”

This suddenly made Cantarero hate his toothache, but he was helpless.
