Chapter 75: Good News and Bad News

"Haha, it's enjoyable, it's so enjoyable!"

Early the next morning, in the Mahada Enda Sports City, Gao Han had just gone up to the second floor when he heard Sergio Garcia's smug laughter in the coach's office from a distance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this moment, he couldn't help but have a very apt image in his mind, a strong criminal.

"What are you so happy about?"

Gao Han walked to the door, looked inside, and found that in addition to Sergio Garcia and Cantarero, the leader of the first team, Carlos Pena, was also there, and it seemed that they were having a good conversation.

"You guys aren't going to bet again, are you?" asked Gao Han with a smile.

"No!" Sergio Garcia immediately shook his head.

"Really?"

"It's true!" Garcia assured.

"Then why are you smiling so much...... Healthy?"

Cantarero and Penadon burst out laughing, the kid was really laughing too well.

But it's also completely understandable.

Gao Han took over the team and only played two games, a 3-0 away win against Rayo Vallecano, a 5-0 win at home to Levante, scoring eight goals in two games and conceding zero goals, this record is really eye-catching.

Now it's not just the Atletico Madrid management who is satisfied, the fans who are satisfied, but even the media and newspapers are changing.

At the very least, they all changed their tune and thought that Atletico Madrid's relegation was fine.

"Look, this is the column of Matayana, the chief editor of the newspaper Marca, and I will read it to you. ”

Sergio García picked up a newspaper on the table, spread it out, and flipped to the fourth page.

"Atletico Madrid beat Levante 5-0 at home, setting a single-game win record for the Sheets this season and also breaking the single-game goal record for La Liga this season. ”

When Gao Han heard this, he suddenly realized.

It's no wonder that after winning last night, I gained four achievement points, and it turned out that I broke these two records.

Many people have an obvious misconception about Spanish football, thinking that football in this country is more offensive than defensive, but in reality, it is not, especially in La Liga, where every team takes defense very seriously.

This also makes it difficult to score big points in La Liga.

Like Atletico Madrid's 5-0 slaughter of Levante, it is really very rare.

If the game is played again, Gao Han will not be sure even if he has the blessing of the skill card.

After all, it is unlikely that Carlos Granero will make another mistake.

The battle between the two young coaches ended with the younger Gao Han winning. ”

"The opening tactics of the amazing young marshal of the Sheets Army restrained Levante, and through three sharp, targeted defensive counterattacks, completely destroyed Levante's fighting spirit and made the game lose suspense early. ”

"And Gao Han also continued his previous on-the-spot command, and almost every adjustment can change the situation......"

At this point, Sergio Garcia suddenly stopped and looked at Gao Han curiously.

"Frankly, did you send money to Matayana?

After winning the game, Gao Han was in a good mood, shook his head with a smile, and did not answer directly.

"However, there are also pickers, Zambrano of As. Sergio García took another newspaper from the table and flipped to the page of Zambrano's column.

"You see, he said, Atletico Madrid's overall strength is higher than Levante, and this game is just a normal performance, and it has little to do with the manager. ”

"This guy is too shameless!" Cantarero couldn't listen anymore.

"He doesn't want to think about it, if it really has nothing to do with the manager, then why did he lose 4-1 away to Levante in the first place?"

Sergio Garcia nodded incessantly, looked at Carlos Pena, and proposed very seriously: "Carlos, why don't you call him and ask him." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Zambrano is a local coach, Carlos Pena is also the number one person in Madrid's football circle, the two know each other well, they must have a phone call, but how can they call?

"In the newspapers, it must be written like this, so that the fans will pay attention. Carlos Pena casually advised.

After Zambrano was fired, more than half a year passed, and he never found his next home.

Although the team is still paying his salary, after June, he will definitely have a headache for his way out.

It's nice to write a column in the newspaper and make an appearance on TV or something.

"Jumping clown, leave him alone!" Gao Han didn't pay attention to him at all.

Carlos Pena glanced at Gao Han gratefully, knowing the general situation and taking the overall situation into account.

At this time, Gao Han had a big war of words with Zambrano, which was not good for the club.

"Carlos, are your tickets ready?" Gao Han did not want to continue to dwell on the issue of Zambrano.

Atletico Madrid's midweek Copa del Rey quarter-finals first leg against Celta Vigo.

The city of Vigo is located in the northwest of Spain, the north of Portugal, and is more than 700 kilometers from Madrid, so Atletico Madrid will fly away from home.

It's also a special treat for the first team.

At least, when Gao Han led the second team, there was no such benefit.

For the first away game, Gao Han also attaches great importance to it, especially considering that it is the first leg of the knockout round, although Celta has not been in good form recently, the overall strength of the team is still there, which should not be underestimated.

"There are not many flights from Madrid to Vigo, there are fewer tickets for business class, and I have already contacted the airline, and if it really doesn't work, I will have to let some people fly in economy class. ”

"Hmm. Gao Han nodded.

The team travels away, usually in business class, but now the time is urgent, just played Rayo Vallecano a few days ago, who knew that Atletico Madrid would be able to advance, and it was impossible to buy a ticket in advance.

And Vigo is a small city, so it's normal to not be able to buy a business class ticket.

Just then, the team's technical director, Paul Futtrey, appeared at the door.

The big-nosed Portuguese smiled and looked proud.

As soon as I entered the door, I greeted everyone present, and sat down directly at my desk.

"Good news, bad news, what to hear first?"

"Bad news. ”

"Good news. ”

Cantarero and Sergio García gave completely different answers.

Suddenly, everyone in the office laughed again.

The team won the game, and everyone's mood really changed.

"Let's start with the bad news. Paul Futrey glanced at the high cold.

"We have just received news that Celta have brought in 30-year-old Argentine centre-back Eduardo Berizzo from River Plate. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be a little silent.

This is really not good news.

Eduardo Berizzo, a former Argentina international who has been playing in Argentina for a long time, was briefly in Ligue 1 at Marseille last season but returned to Argentina six months later.

When I come to Spain this time, I must be prepared.

"Celta de Vigo has had problems defensively since Claude Makelele was poached by Real Madrid, and although he soon brought in Brazilian defender Wagner from Roma to partner Giovanella, he was never as good as Makelele. ”

Cantarero has apparently done some knowledge of Celta as well.

Don't look at Claude Makelle's problems at Real Madrid, but this player is quite good, both in terms of individual ability and team action.

In Spanish football, Makelele and Flavio are considered to be one of the two strongest pairs of two midfielders.

The other pair is Baraja and Albelda in Valencia.

Tragically, Baraja was transferred from Atletico Madrid.

After the departure of the midfielder, Celta's defence ran into problems, and in the absence of a stronger midfielder, Victor Fernandez opted to strengthen the central defence, bringing in Berizzo and partnering with Cáceres to form an Argentine double central defender. ”

Celta Vigo is a very interesting team.

After Berizzo arrived, the two central defenders were Argentine, the two midfielders were Brazilian, the striker Gustavo López was Argentine, and Catania was Brazilian, which was full of South American flavor.

The two most relied on wing-midfielders, Karpin and Mostovoy, are both Russians.

With the addition of a Portuguese goalkeeper Pinto, the only real Spanish players in the squad are the two full-backs on the left and right, Juanfran and Velasco.

With such a large proportion of foreign aid, Celta is a wonder in La Liga.

After listening to Cantarero's words, Gao Han smiled and nodded.

Playing Celta, he is not afraid of defense.

Victor Fernandez's two-winger tactics are a major feature of European football today, with Zinedine Zidane at Juventus and Nedved at Lazio.

The four-three-two-one in Gao Han's hands, with three midfielders, is enough to protect the team's rib defense, and it is not a big problem.

It's all about offense.

Celta's defense is well-known in La Liga, and it has been a solid top three and top four in the past two seasons, but even this season, it has lost a number of core players, and the defense has problems, and it is currently only ranked six in La Liga, which does not match the team's current ranking.

That said, this team's defense is quite tough.

Now, another Berizzo has been introduced, which is really enough for a headache.

But seeing that the atmosphere in the office was a little depressing, Gao Han smiled, "Paul, what about the good news?"

Paul Futrey immediately sighed, "There is good news. ”

After a pause, the Portuguese continued only after everyone had seen it.

"Marchena's agent Quirin called me just now, and Marchena has basically agreed to join Atletico Madrid. ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

This is indeed very good news, especially in the high cold.

After Marchena joined, he formed a double central defender with Ibic and the defensive line was strengthened, and he was more confident.

"Also, Valencia contacted me to talk about Salva's transfer. ”

"How do you answer?" asked Gao Han.

"As you said, fifteen million euros is not a penny!"

Paul Futrey couldn't help but laugh at this: "Salva's agents are going crazy. ”

Gao Han couldn't help but wonder, he did have a bit of a mind to use Salva to operate.

"To be honest, if he doesn't leave, I'll let him sit on the bench for half a season. ”

"Whatever you want!" said Paul Futrley, smiling nonchalantly, spreading his hands.

Both Hill and Cerezo admire Torres and Villa very much, and the team is doing so well now, even if Gao Han really blocks Salva, it will be nothing.

It's a bit of a no-hate, but that's how realistic professional football is.

And, in the final analysis, it was Salva himself who was not kind in the first place.

"In addition, I have also talked to other players such as Zoran Nigus and Roberto, and I will focus on staying in the team during the winter break!"

Gao Han nodded, this is also good news.

At the very least, the players are relieved to stay, that is, they are willing to tide over the difficulties with the club.

As for what happens after the season......

Even Gao Han's own future is uncertain, who cares about them?

'Paul, right-back and goalkeeper have to start to prepare, and the midfield needs to be strengthened as well. ”

Paul Futrey nodded, a kind reminder from the high cold.

The winter break transfer is coming to an end, and if Gao Han can't gain a foothold in the first team of Atletico Madrid, the reinforcements in these positions have nothing to do with him, and he will not make decisions during his tenure.

But preparation in advance is a must.

Who makes Atletico Madrid's entire midfield so many players over the age of 30?
