Chapter 650: The Civil War of the Followers

Aragonés ultimately failed to bring Raul to the Euros. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the Spanish coach announced this decision, it not only caused great turmoil in Spain, but also shocked the world football world, with countless fans complaining about Raul and thinking that the old coach was too ruthless.

There are even plenty of fans who are preparing to rush to the plate if Aragonés' side fail at the Euros, spraying the decorated veteran coach into nothingness and removing him from the Spanish national team.

It can be said that during that period of time, Aragonés completely became a street rat in Spain.

After watching the Champions League final on the spot, Gao Han did not choose to return to China because he wanted to stay in Europe to participate in the opening ceremony of the European Cup and watch the European Cup events, but traveled with Lin Xia in Europe.

When he learned of the accusations and pressure that Aragonés was under, Gao Han expressed his opinion through the newspaper Marca, and once again stood by Aragonés' side, publicly stating that it was the right decision for Aragonés not to recruit Raul.

'There are only twenty-three places for each team, so there will always be some good players who will be rejected by the national team, and unfortunately this time it will be Raul, but that's football. ”

Gao Han also reiterated once again that he has a good relationship with Raul, and the two are also neighbors of La Finca, Madrid, and the reason why he said this is mainly because he is a technical adviser to the Spanish Football Federation.

It was only at this time that many fans suddenly remembered that Gao Han still had such a false title hanging on his head.

After Pep Guardiola led Barcelona to defeat Manchester United 2-0, win the Champions League, and complete the second treble in the history of Spanish football, Gao Han is known as the number one hero behind the scenes, and his influence in Spanish and even European football has exploded again.

And Gao Han was also privately commissioned by Aragonés this time, and specially returned to Madrid, and went to Raul's house to explain the reason why Aragonés was reluctant to recruit him into the team, and said that it had nothing to do with personal grievances, but just took care of the overall situation.

Raul has a deep preconception about Aragonés and does not fully accept Gao Han's explanation, but he also said that he will not make any remarks that are detrimental to the team's unity when the big game is coming.

On the second day, Raul also gave an interview to the media, sincerely wishing the Spanish national team a good performance and excellent results in the European Championship.

At that time, Gao Han stood beside Raul, watching him endure the sadness and loss in his heart, and when he said this, Gao Han was also concerned, because he knew that no matter whether Spain succeeded or failed, he would always owe Raul.

But that's football.

The opening match of the European Championship was played in Switzerland, with one of the hosts, Switzerland, taking on the Czech Republic.

Gao Han, accompanied by Lin Xia, accepted the invitation of UEFA, appeared in the chairman's stand, and watched the host Switzerland lose 0-1 to the Czech Republic, embarrassingly losing the opening game.

Enjoying the game with Gao Han is also former Bayern Munich head coach Heathfield, according to Gao Han's insider, he has signed an agreement with the Swiss Football Association to officially replace Kuhn as the head coach of the Swiss national team after the European Championship.

After watching the opening match, Gao Han was still in the various stages of the European Championship, and he watched Modric score a goal to help Croatia beat another host team, Austria, 1-0.

Later, he watched Loew's German national team beat Poland 2-0, scoring two goals from Gao Han's Bayern Munich abandonment Podolski, with these two goals, Podolski also temporarily leads the scorer list.

After scoring a brace and being voted Man of the Match, Podolski was a big blow to his frustration at Bayern Munich this past season, which made him look a little flamboyant in his post-match media interview.

He even openly stated, "I've never been the type of player to play on the bench, I need to play and I believe I have what it takes to be the protagonist of the game." ”

Afterwards, the German striker added: "If I don't see the prospect of playing under Gao Han, then I will seriously think about the future after the European Championships." But he also stressed that "for me, the most important thing now is the European Championships, and then I will think about anything else." ”

Many media have seen this as Podolski's pressure on Gao Han and Bayern Munich, with this brace, he proved his worth with strength, and he really shouldn't continue to squat on the bench at Bayern Munich.

But when Podolski was interviewed by the media, Gao Han quietly appeared at the door of the dressing room of the Polish national team after the game and went to visit the famous Ben Hack in person.

The 65-year-old Dutch coach has coached Ajax, Feyenoord, Real Madrid and Zaragoza, among them, Ajax and Real Madrid have coached twice, which shows his coaching strength.

In charge of Poland this time, he took the Eastern European side to the European Championship finals for the first time in history.

As for Gao Han's personal visit, Ben Hack was also very surprised.

If you want to say that the two really don't have any friendship, the only time they meet, it is to politely greet each other.

The two had a polite conversation outside the dressing room door and talked a lot about Poland's situation in the game.

It wasn't until the end of the conversation that Gao Han asked Ben Hack about one of the players, and jokingly mentioned that if Ben Hack had taken him to the European Championships, maybe the game could have changed completely.

Ben Hack was very surprised by Gao Han's inquiry, he did not expect that Gao Han was no stranger to Polish players.

'Yes, you're right, I have a lot of admiration for this player, but you know, he's still young, and I was a little bit worried about the pressure that he wouldn't be able to play at the tournament, but now it seems that maybe I should bring him to the Euros. ”

Obviously, Ben Hack has also been paying attention to this player for a long time, and as a human spirit, he immediately saw what Gao Han meant.

"What? You're interested in him too?"

Gao Han smiled incomprehensibly, "Just ask." ”

Just ask?

How could Ben Hack possibly believe such a claim?

Is there any player who can ask Gao Han to come forward to understand the situation in person?

…………

After the secret talks with Ben Hack, neither Gao Han nor Bayern Munich replied to Podolski's remarks.

But soon, Gao Han's apprentice gave a counterattack.

Against Russia, Villa, who plays for Atletico Madrid, scored a hat-trick to help Spain beat Russia 4-1 and win their best victory since the start of the European Championship.

What's more, Spain's main lineup for this game is still dominated by Atletico Madrid, supplemented by Barcelona, and players such as Marchena, Ramos, Marcos Senna, David Silva, Xavi Alonso, Villa and Torres all started.

The big win in this game also temporarily stabilized Aragonés's position and eased the doubts about him in Spain.

But it was the second game of the group stage against Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Sweden.

Fernando Torres opened the scoring for Spain in the fifteenth minute, but Ibrahimovic equalised soon after.

The two sides remained deadlocked, and it was not until the final moments of the game that Villa's key strike helped Spain defeat their opponents, win two consecutive victories, and advance from the group.

The hapless Ibrahimovic scored in both games, but he was unable to turn Sweden's decline around, losing 0-2 to the in-form Arshavin Russia in the third round, and finally missed the knockout round.

Spain in the third round is mainly practice, from Real Madrid academy youngsters de la Red and Guiza goals, finally helped Spain reverse Greece 2-1 and win three consecutive victories.

In the knockout round, Spain faced the bitter host Italy.

This caused countless fans to mourn for Spain before the game, believing that it would be difficult for the matadors to take advantage of Italy.

The truth was as everyone expected, but Spain's defense was good, and it didn't give Italy a chance to sneak attack, and the two sides ended up playing 0-0, but Spain eliminated Italy by virtue of a penalty shootout, and successfully entered the semi-finals.

The German national team eliminated Portugal 3-2 thanks to goals from Schweinsteiger, Klose and Ballack, Croatia unfortunately lost to Turkey in a penalty shoot-out, and Russia eliminated the Netherlands 3-1 in extra time thanks to Arshavin's successive outbreaks.

However, in front of his Atletico Madrid team-mates, it will be difficult for Arshavin to continue his previous excellent performances.

Spain finally reached the final in the semi-finals, beating Russia 3-0 thanks to goals from Xavi, Villa and David Silva.

In the other game, Loew's side came back from 2-1 thanks to goals from Schweinsteiger and Klose, after conceding a goal, but were soon equalized by Turkey.

The two sides played to the final stoppage time, and in the end, Lahm's stunner at a crucial moment helped Germany eliminate Turkey 3-2 and successfully advance to the final.

With the excellent performance at the European Championships, the whole European football scene is becoming more and more alarmed, as they gradually discover that there is a deep chill behind the two teams that have performed the best so far this season.

Needless to say, Spain is their technical adviser in its own right, while Aragonés' team was originally formed with Atletico Madrid as the team.

The German team is also based on Bayern Munich, Hummels, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Klose, ...... These players who have saved the German national team many times are all humerus generals of Gao Han during his time at Bayern Munich, not to mention Podolski, who scored a brace in the first round.

The final between Germany and Spain has made countless media and fans regard this final as a civil war for Gao Han's followers, no matter who wins or loses between the two teams, the final winner will only be Gao Han.

In the end, it turned out that Aragonés' team was a little more mature, and Torres's stunner at a crucial moment helped Spain beat Germany 1-0 and win the European Championship, breaking the terrible curse of the uncrowned king.

Aragonés also raised his eyebrows greatly because of this.

But no one thought that what really made the media and fans all over the world compete to praise it, in addition to the stars who participated, was Gao Han who sat in the stands and watched the game.

He has served as a technical advisor to the Spanish Football Federation for many years, and has repeatedly supported Aragonés before the game, coupled with the group of outstanding talents he has cultivated for Spain......

All of this has made Gao Han the hero behind Spain's Champions League victory, not inferior to head coach Aragonés.
