The gap between the giants and the sling team is not only reflected in the hotel where the away team lives, but also in the pre-season preparation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Real Madrid and Barcelona went to Austria and other resorts for pre-season training, Atletico Madrid could only sadly stay in Mahadanda, stick to their own one-acre three-point land, and train silently.

It's not that the management slammed the door and refused to pay the money, but Gao Han felt that it was unnecessary.

Originally, the management proposed that the team go out for training, and also listed several good candidates, such as the resort of the Canary Islands, or to the southern island of Mallorca, which are quite good options, and it is easy to arrange warm-up matches.

But after communicating with the management and coaching staff, Gao Han finally gave up this option.

The main reason is that the budget is not sufficient.

More than 20 players from the top and bottom of the team, plus the coaching staff and staff, went out for a month of training, and the cost was quite amazing.

Therefore, in the end, the team chose to stay in Madrid, and there were no too strong opponents in the warm-up match.

In the five warm-up matches, three opponents were from Spain, and the other two were Parma from Serie A and Everton from the Premier League, all of which belong to the more typical Serie A and Premier League teams.

The reason for this arrangement is also to help the team adapt to the style of play in other European leagues.

The strength of the opponents in the warm-up match is not strong, and Atletico Madrid is relatively stable regardless of the lineup or style of play, so the Sheets Army still performed well in the warm-up match after a period of intensive training.

Won all five games, with the biggest score being a 6-0 win over a team in La Liga.

The three wins over Everton and the 1-0 win over Parma showed the stability and quality of the team.

With the successive victories in the warm-up matches, the market of Atletico Madrid in the new season is also bullish.

During the training camp of the Sheets Army, from mid-July, the qualifying rounds for the UEFA Champions League have also been played.

By mid-August, the qualifiers had already been played in two rounds.

After the draw, Real Madrid's opponent in the third round of qualifying was a powerhouse from Ukraine, Shakhtar Donetsk.

The two sides faced off over two legs, with Real Madrid playing away first and then home, with a good schedule.

The opponent is not strong, but it is too troublesome to go back and forth from Spain to Ukraine.

In addition to the results of the draw for the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, UEFA also announced the list of UEFA winners of the year's best awards.

The three players shortlisted for the best goalkeeper are Bayern Munich's Kahn, Juventus' Gianluigi Buffon, and Real Madrid's Iker Casillas, all of whom are among the top goalkeepers in today's football.

Among the finalists are Real Madrid's Robert Carlos, Roma's Cafu and Liverpool's Hyypia.

The best midfielder was contested by Manchester United's Roy Keane, Bayer Leverkusen's Ballack and Arsenal's Patrick Vieira.

The best striker was contested between Juventus' Trezeguet, Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy and Real Madrid's Raul.

The three most weighty candidates for MVP are Zinedine Zidane and Raul of Real Madrid and Ruud van Nistelrooy of Manchester United.

As the most popular team in European football last season, Atletico Madrid can be said to have won nothing in terms of player awards.

However, as the head coach, Gao Han was nominated for the Coach of the Year award, competing with Real Madrid's Bosque, Manchester United's Alex Ferguson, and Bayer Leverkusen's Topp Muller.

Newcastle manager Bobby Robson was awarded the Special Achievement Award.

…………

…………

"It's not fair, it's definitely not fair!"

As soon as Gao Han got this list, the whole person was unhappy.

"The Champions League has been elevated, the UEFA Cup has been completely ignored and the league has been severely underrated. ”

This is Gao Han's view of this nomination.

"Kahn and Buffon, in a different league than us, I won't say more, let's just say that in La Liga, Cech won the goalkeeper of the season, was selected in the best team, he conceded the fewest goals and performed the best, why didn't he make the cut?"

The coaching staff in the office was speechless.

In fact, everyone knows that although these UEFA awards are based on performance, fame is very important.

"We can't say the best defender, but what about the best midfielder? Kaka, Deco, Pep Guardiola, they definitely qualify for the final, especially Kaka. ”

"As for the best striker, it's the same thing, whether it's the number of goals, or the performance, or even the championship, Villa loses to Trezeguet, Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy?"

In the end, Gao Han angrily slapped the fax in his hand on the table.

"This is especially naked discrimination!"

"No way, who makes the family a wealthy family and a big-name superstar?" Cantarero was also unwilling, but very helpless.

Sergio Garcia patted Gao Han on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No, you were shortlisted for the best coach, you represented the team and won this award." ”

Gao Han raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Does it cost money?"

Everyone burst into laughter, which is too unusual, as if UEFA awards are bought with money.

But Gao Han really felt that it was like this.

It's just that this money is spent on the player's transfer fee and stirs up fame.

Otherwise, in terms of performance, Atletico Madrid would not be so unbearable.

La Liga 38 rounds, the UEFA Cup, plus a Spanish Copa del Rey, this is not the best in Europe?

Without outstanding players, the champions of Atletico Madrid are bought with money?

"No way, if you look at Sporting Lisbon's Jadel, he scored 42 goals and still couldn't get into the best striker ranking. ”

Tony Muñoz, who came to the sports city for this matter, was also comforting.

Frankly speaking, he is also very unwilling, but there is no way, who makes the family a wealthy family?

UEFA also said that this list is not a simple data competition, people consider a comprehensive performance evaluation. ”

The more people listened to Tony Muñoz's sour words, the more they listened, the more harsh they felt.

After this guy retired, he took up administrative work, and his speech became more and more level.

"Oh, by the way, this big bag is all letters from your fans. ”

Gao Han glanced at it, oh my God, there is a big bag, I'm afraid there are thousands of seals.

"So much?" Gao Han had a headache.

When he first received a letter from a fan, he was very excited and replied with a fief.

But later, as Atletico Madrid's performance got better and better, and more and more fans wrote from him, he really couldn't stand it.

So, his colleagues in the club's fan service department helped him sift through it, and they even answered most of the letters.

But there will also be some letters that need to be handled by Gao Han personally.

For example, Unai Emery was able to come to Atletico Madrid because he wrote several letters to Gao Han, applying for an internship at Atletico Madrid, and later Gao Han gave him and several other people opportunities.

It's just that in the end, Emery was the only one who was valued by Gao Han and stayed.

"Most of our colleagues have seen it for you, and we have returned, and even some fans have sent you gifts, and we have also helped you get back a small gift from the club. ”

Gao Han nodded with satisfaction, which left a lot of work for himself.

"However, there are a few letters that you still have to look at yourself, and one of them is particularly interesting. ”

As he spoke, Tony Muñoz, under the curious eyes of everyone, took out a small bag from the bag containing the letters, which contained about a dozen letters.

"These dozen letters were written by the same person, with the same address, and very regularly, one every week. ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

"It's a die-hard fan. ”

"That's kind of interesting. ”

"No, no, no, you don't understand, it's not that. Tony Muñoz hurried to stop.

"What's the key?"

"yes, let's hear it. ”

"Say it, don't bother. ”

Gao Han's face was full of black lines, "Why did you guys become so gossipy?"

"The point is, it's a woman. Tony Muñoz looked at Gao Han ambiguously and smiled.

Everyone suddenly sighed.

Female fans?

Oh my God, this is too happy, isn't it?

"How do you know it's a woman?" Gao Han wondered.

"It's simple, there are photos in it. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all excited, and they were eager to ask for photos.

Tony Muñoz, with Gao Han's permission, took out one of the letters and took a photograph from it.

"Oh my God, she's pretty good-looking. ”

"yes, look, I'm wearing a bikini, I'm quite tall, but I'm not hot enough. ”

"No, I think it's pretty well-proportioned, and it's beautiful. ”

"Look at the photos, are you participating in some beauty pageant and winning the championship?"

Everyone said a word, and I discussed it word by word, and Gao Han's first reaction when he saw this photo was familiar.

I always feel as if I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it.

Especially the curly snake hair like Medusa.

"Tony, where is she?" Gao Han asked curiously.

But Tony Muñoz smiled and asked, "You haven't seen it?"

"Nonsense, how have I seen it?"

But in the letter, she said that she had seen you and thanked you for helping her. ”

"Really?" Gao Han still didn't believe it.

After taking the envelope from Tony Muñoz, Takahan glanced at the address.

"Israel?" Gao Han frowned.

"Haven't you been to Tel Aviv, Israel before?" Cantarero reminded.

Gao Han slapped his thigh hard, "Yes, I went with Paul to spy on the military, as if I met her in a hotel in Israel." ”

Hotel?

When everyone heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.

Men, hotels, and beautiful women, it is too easy to associate with these three.

"Get out, you bastards!" Gao Han almost didn't kick them to death.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"She seemed to be going to sign up for a beauty pageant at the time, but she was late, and I saw that she was dusty, and it was not easy, so I casually helped her say a word, yes, it's her!"

Gao Han himself didn't expect that little girl to write a letter to herself every other week afterwards.

My God, I counted the envelopes, and it really didn't stop, which was kind of interesting.

"Eh, it's good to think about it. Tony Muñoz also smiled, "I'll tell my colleagues in the fan service department when I go back that all her letters in the future are not allowed to be opened, and they will be handed over to you directly, so as not to accidentally snoop on any secrets that should not be known." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Gao Han felt that he couldn't wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River this time.

However, to reply to this letter or not?

What a question! (To be continued.) )
