The dressing rooms at the Aldevilla Stadium are rudimentary, with a wall between the coaches' and players' lounges.
Pochettino sat in front of the door of the dressing room, listening to the players discussing from next door.
Ramirez's red card is really unnecessary, but the collar has already been received, and it can't change the status quo, so the players are still discussing how to play in the second half.
Although Marcos Senna only joined during the winter break, his qualifications are there, and his own strength is outstanding, so he naturally became the team's locker room boss and the team's captain.
And now, his attitude is very clear, he can only fight to the end.
But Pochettino kept looking at the door and sat there motionless.
He's waiting.
As the head coach of the team, he has always been trusted and supported, but now the situation is obviously different, playing Sales at home, it is a matter of whether the team can succeed in the first division, and now the scene is a 1-1 draw, but the China City team has one less person than the opponent, and the situation is very unfavorable.
As the soul leader of the team, will Gao Han come forward?
Will he continue to support him at this critical juncture, and will he interfere in the team's competitive affairs?
You must know that Gao Han himself is the most outstanding head coach in Europe and even the world, and coaching is what he is best at, Pochettino himself is ashamed of himself, in this case, Gao Han intervenes in the team and does his best to help the team win, which seems to be a matter of course.
But as a manager, Pochettino didn't want Gao Han to do that.
The reason is simple, he is the head coach of the China City team.
Although he is not as good as Gao Han, although he may not be sure to win, he is the head coach of this team.
He wants to be treated with the respect he deserves, with the dignity he has as a manager.
So, he sat there, very nervous, very uneasy.
He admired and even admired Gao Han a little, so at this critical moment, he hoped that Gao Han could appear in front of him, talk to himself well, and analyze the current situation, but he was very afraid of Gao Han.
Because he knows that as long as Gao Han appears in this locker room, his authority as a head coach will be greatly challenged.
Gao Han is a natural king, especially the owner of the club, and everyone listens to him as a matter of course, including Pochettino.
Just when Pochettino was nervous, the door to the dressing room was suddenly pushed open.
At that moment, the Argentine coach jumped from his seat.
But in reality, it was his right-hand man, goalkeeper coach Tony Jimenez, who pushed open the locker room door.
"What's wrong?" Tony Jimenez was a little surprised, what was the situation with such a big reaction?
Pochettino's eyes flickered a little and he shook his head, "No...... It's nothing. ”
Tony Jimenez thought he was overstressed and didn't take it too seriously.
"You...... Where have you been?" asked Pochettino.
He and Toni Jimenez were teammates of Espanyol, who played for Atletico Madrid for a time under Alpine before being replaced by Petr Cech when he arrived.
It was also from Tony Jimenez that Pochettino first learned about the magical altitude.
"I went for a glass of water, and guess who I met?" said Tony Jimenez, looking a little excited.
"Alpine?" Pochettino guessed.
"Ha, I can't hide it from you, I met the boss, he also went to drink water, he said, shouted the whole half, his mouth was dry, and his throat was about to catch fire. Tony Jimenez laughed.
Pochettino's heart fluttered, "Then he ...... now"
"I'm going back. Tony Jimenez said.
"Where are you going?" Pochettino was taken aback again.
"Back to the stands, of course. Tony Jimenez was a little curious, "Otherwise, where do you think he's going back?"
Pochettino was a little stunned, but soon smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.
He wanted to know Gao Han's analysis of the situation of the game at this moment, so that he could know how far he was from the top coach, and he could learn more.
But he was also very moved.
Because he knew that Gao Han would not come.
This is the greatest trust in him.
Also as the head coach of the team, Gao Han is using this way to tell him that the club supports him unconditionally, trusts him, and allows him to give it a go as he pleases.
It's not just talking, it's going to be the end.
Thinking about it, Pochettino was a little ashamed, because his worries just now were somewhat villainous.
It turns out that Gao Han trusts him more than he imagined.
"What's wrong?" Tony Jimenez clearly didn't have as much crankiness as Pochettino.
Pochettino took a deep breath and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just think it's time to counterattack." ”
With that, the Argentine coach walked directly to the players' rest area next door.
At this time, all the players are ready and waiting for him.
"Guys, there's no way back!"
…………
…………
The second half of the game restarted, and the Chinese City team did not make substitutions.
What is surprising is that at the beginning of the game, the home team China Town, which has one less person, took the lead in launching a crazy attack on Sares, which made all the fans in the stands very excited.
Gao Han also got up from his seat, clapped vigorously, and cheered loudly.
He knew he had made the right choice.
The Chinese have an old saying, do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself.
Also as a head coach, the last thing he wants is to be interfered with by someone to interfere with his own arrangement, even if this person's strength is indeed better than his own and his status is higher than his own.
So, he chose to support Pochettino, unconditionally.
Pochettino's rush hit Sales so hard that he had to avoid it.
As the most attacking team in the La Liga 2, any team will have to deal with it cautiously, let alone at the Aldevilla Stadium.
Just eight minutes into the second half, China City scored again against Sares.
The continuous attack in the front field was cleared out of the penalty area by Sares, but Marcos Senna's back-inserted long-range shot exceeded the score for the Chinese city team again.
It was a goal that sent the entire Aldevilla Stadium into complete frenzy.
Gao Han also applauded hard, but at the same time, he also warned his players in his heart that they must not retreat.
There is a good saying, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.
The China City team itself has one less person than the opponent, and at this time it is one goal ahead, and if it retreats now, it will be difficult to hold on for more than half an hour left.
Therefore, at the very least, you must take advantage of the chaos of the opponent's position, score another one, and then concentrate on counterattacking.
Pochettino's calculations were indeed the same as Gao Han's, and he kept shouting at his players as the team celebrated the goal, signaling them to hurry back to the game.
After the game restarted, the China City team still did not retreat, continued to press hard, and launched a fierce front-court pressing on Sares, forcing the leaders of La Liga to make frequent mistakes in passing and receiving the ball.
In the 61st minute, Sares made a mistake in receiving the ball in the backfield, Schneiderlin stealed, Aubameyang transferred the ball to the left side, Alba quickly inserted it, grabbed the ball and crossed with his left foot, Falcao headed the ball to the back point, Diego Costa followed up overnight, and the next city for the Chinese city team, three to one!
scored two goals in a row, and the China City team also played with surprising momentum.
But in the end, there was one less person on the field than the opponent, and the attack could not last, so Pochettino quickly made adjustments.
Midfielder Koke replaced Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and the team switched to a four-three-two formation with a defensive counter-attack.
A few minutes later, he replaced Diego Costa with Mkhitaryan.
As soon as the China City team retreated, Sales quickly pressed on and attacked frequently, but the China City team was stubbornly defending their own half, leaving almost only one Falcao in the front court, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
The game between the two sides was very close, and Sares faced the stubborn defense of the China City team, and could not find a chance to start for a while.
It wasn't until the 80th minute that the Chinese City team's physical strength declined, and a flaw was revealed, and Sares seized the opportunity to score a goal to rewrite the score to 2-3.
Since then, however, Sares has never been able to equalise.
In the end, China City defeated Sales 3-2 at home.
As soon as the whistle blew for the end of the game, the entire Aldevilla stadium cheered.
All the fans were frantically celebrating the rare victory.
One less person than the opponent, but it lasted to the end of the game, and this victory was definitely a reward for the Chinese city team to fight to the end.
Gao Han also applauded vigorously in the stands and gave a thumbs up to both the players in the stadium and manager Mauricio Pochettino.
"Matches like this can be a huge morale boost for the team, and it can also be a great motivation for the team to grow and improve. ”
Cantarero understands what Gao Han means, and as one of the youngest teams in La Liga, China City needs to continue to improve.
With the team's current performance, even if it can't return to La Liga this year, it will definitely be able to do so next year.
Soon, the results of several other matches in this round of La Liga were also freshly released.
Zaragoza won 3-0 away, Tenerife won 1-0 away, Rayo Vallecano lost 1-2 at home to Elche and Hercules drew 0-0 away.
After this round, Sares still has 75 points, Tenerife has 72 points, Zaragoza has 71 points, China City has 69 points, and Hercules has 68 points.
In other words, after this round, the ranking of the Chinese City team has moved forward and ranked fourth in the league.
Judging from the current league situation, it is unlikely that you want to catch up with Sares, but there is still a lot of hope for squeezing into the top three in the league, after all, there are still three rounds in the next round, and everything is still possible.
Neither Cantarero nor Armando Marcos expected their teams to play so well, especially at the start of the second half, which impressed them even more, and they praised Pochettino even more.
"You can go to the locker room now, right?" Cantarero asked with a smile.
It is only now that he really understands why Gao Han refused to go to the locker room at halftime, and whether it is from the process of the game, or from the result of the game, or even from the long-term impact of the follow-up, Gao Han's choice is the wisest.
I believe that after tonight's game, Pochettino should have more faith in the trust and support of the club and Gao Han.
Gao Han laughed after stopping Cantarero's words.
"Go, of course, I'm going to go to the dressing room and encourage our players and the coaching staff, I'm going to treat them. ”
When both Cantarero and Armando Marcos looked puzzled, Gao Han took the initiative to solve the puzzle.
"Ha, I'll have dinner tonight!"
