Chapter 281: The thorn in the thorn that spoils the situation
"He finally compromised!"
On the morning of the second leg of the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, Gao Han couldn't help but sigh when he saw Bosque's pre-match press conference published in the Ass newspaper. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In his speech, Bosque clarified his previous remarks, saying that he did not bombard anyone, nor did he question the decision of the team's management, he just lost the game and felt it.
As for the team's summer signings, Bosque said that he was also involved, and promised that the team is working hard to strengthen the backline, hoping that the outside world will not give too much speculation and affect the team's preparation.
At the same time, the Real Madrid manager also talked about Ronaldo under questions from the media, saying that the Brazilian striker is a superstar that any manager can hardly refuse, and he is no exception, but so far, he belongs to Inter Milan, and as the manager of Real Madrid, he should not talk about it too much.
In addition, Bosque also mentions Morientes.
The Real Madrid manager says Morientes has many good friends at club and in the dressing room, and he has given everything for Real Madrid, but anything can happen in professional football.
"In any case, whether he can stay or not, I am very happy and I wish him the best of luck. ”
'In my mind, he's always been a very good player. ”
This time, the newspaper published Bosque's answer verbatim in the newspaper, which has the meaning of clarifying the contradiction between Bosque and the club's management and resolving the misunderstanding of the outside world.
But in Gao Han's opinion, this is somewhat a bit of a silver three hundred taels here.
"In this case, whoever takes over Real Madrid is a fool. Gao Han said very firmly.
This is simply ignoring the laws of football and not following the rules at all, which manager is willing to take over such a team?
Real Madrid, perhaps, is a star-studded group, but so what?
If it wasn't obvious a year or two earlier, it's clear to everyone now, especially after this World Cup.
The future development trend of football is to emphasize more and more integration.
In other words, only by combining the three lines of the team from front to back, even the goalkeeper, can such a team be competitive and likely to succeed.
As for Real Madrid, the front and back are completely separated, the attack and defense are completely torn, and there is no play at all.
"For the time being, Bosque shouldn't be out of class, right?" Cantarero guessed.
"Well, probably not. Gao Han nodded, "But life will definitely not be easy." ”
Bosque is very prestigious inside and outside Real Madrid, and is loyal to Real Madrid, hard-working, and after fighting fires many times and helping the team tide over difficulties, he handed over the position to the successor coach without regrets.
In the past 2,000 years, after fighting fires and helping the team win the Champions League, Bosque has also survived.
With this Champions League, combined with his previous qualifications at Real Madrid, it is enough to make him a member of the Hall of Fame.
Not to mention that in the following years, there has been a championship every year, and last season won the Champions League again.
However, from the current situation of Bosque, it is not difficult to see the deformity of Real Madrid's internal management.
This can't help but remind Gao Han of what Heynckes and Aragonés once said, as the head coach of the team, you can be fired, you can be defeated, but you must stick to your bottom line and firmly defend your principles.
Maybe it's because of character, maybe it's because of feelings, maybe it's because of something else......
Bosque eventually relented.

…………
After beating Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 away in the first leg, Real Madrid returned to the Bernabeu Stadium and finally beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 thanks to goals from Raul, Zinedine Zidane and Figo.
In the end, the Galaxy entered the official match of the Champions League with a two-legged aggregate score.
At this point, the final roster of 32 teams in eight groups has finally been released.
Although the group draw will not be revealed until Monaco at the end of August, this has not stopped the media from starting to speculate about the Champions League group stage, especially the draw for the eight groups.
According to the UEFA draw rules, the 32 teams will be divided into four different brackets, each with eight teams each, and one team from each bracket will be drawn to form a group to avoid each other with the teams of the same country.
The division of each team is the UEFA club rankings, and the top eight teams are divided into seeded teams, and the rest are postponed.
Because the team won the UEFA Cup last season and won all the way, Atletico Madrid successfully entered the second pot team, which also made many European giants secretly wipe a cold sweat.
With the current momentum of the Sheets Army, whoever touches it is unlucky.
It would be horrible if it was really zoned to the third gear.
However, after UEFA released the latest club rankings, the 32 teams are worried again.
According to the rankings, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Valencia, Juventus, Arsenal, Inter Milan and Deportivo La Coruna are in the top eight and are seeded.
Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, Roma, Lyon, Feyenoord, Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray are divided into Pot 2, which is also not too controversial.
But what is worrying is that because they have not been able to enter the European competition in the past few seasons, the European rankings have slipped, and the Serie A giants AC Milan have been placed in Pot 3.
In other words, teams in the Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga are very likely to meet AC Milan.
Not only that, but there are also teams such as Newcastle in the Premier League, Auxerre and Lens in the Ligue 1.
Therefore, some media speculated that according to the principle of avoidance of teams in the same country, the possibility of a group of death is very, very high, and it is even possible that a group gathers teams from the five major leagues at the same time.
This immediately shocked the whole European football world.
Almost all the participating teams are nervous, because everyone knows that anyone who enters the group of death can be upset.
For a time, the whole European football world was worried.
It was in this atmosphere that the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup came along.
Unlike Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid had a full week of rest after a 3-0 win over their opponents in the first leg before visiting the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to recuperate.
This time, Gao Han still sent his main force to fight.
Bosque had to rotate a number of key players, including Zinedine Zidane, in preparation for the upcoming UEFA Super Cup, which ultimately led to Real Madrid's failure to turn things around at the Santiago Bernabeu.
1-0, Atletico Madrid defeated the Galaxy Battleship away with Villa's key stunner, and finally defeated Real Madrid with a total score of 4-0 over two legs and successfully won the Spanish Super Cup.
This shook the whole of Spain!
In the past two years, the cold team has won consecutive victories in Spanish football, and they have been invincible.
Who will stop this terrifying Atletico Madrid team?
Bosque's Real Madrid have lost seven in a row so far, and it is clearly not good.
Is Van Gaal's Barcelona okay?
Or Valencia of Benitez?
Or is it the A Coruña of Iruetta?
Compared with the discussion from the outside world, Atletico Madrid is very low-key.
In interviews with the media, management, including Hill Jr., refused to respond to the claim that the team is the favorite to win the championship in La Liga, saying that the team is still young and needs to continue to work hard.
As for the upcoming draw ceremony, Atletico Madrid said that they are not afraid of any team.
At noon on August 29, after a three-day break in Madrid, the Sheets left for Monaco and checked into a hotel arranged by UEFA.
In the afternoon, Gao Han, accompanied by his technical director, Paul Futré, appeared at the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monte Carlo.
Gao Han was still wearing his signature dark gray suit, stepping on the red carpet outside the conference center, which caused the surrounding fans to exclaim, and also made all the reporters at the scene rush to take pictures.
As the fastest rising young coach in European football, Gao Han has rarely been interviewed by the media except for the usual press conferences, and it is the first time for an occasion like today.
And Gao Han, who appeared on this occasion for the first time, obviously didn't expect that he would be so popular, and was a little flattered.
After finally walking the red carpet, there were already UEFA officials in charge of publicity and reception waiting for him at the gate.
It's a routine interview, and the questions are more patterned.
For example, the first question is, how did you feel when you walked on the red carpet for the first time and participated in the Champions League group draw?
Gao Han's answer was also very frank, "I'm a little nervous, but it's okay." ”
"This season is Atletico Madrid's return to the Champions League after a long absence, and it is also the first time in your career that you have played in the Champions League, as the youngest manager in the history of the Champions League, do you have any thoughts on this season's Champions League journey?"
"No, try to play every game. ”
"What about the upcoming draw, and are there any teams you don't want to meet?"
Gao Han shook his head and smiled, "I don't have a team I don't want to meet, because for us, it's all the same, but it's our opponent, and I guess they don't want to meet us." ”
The reporter who interviewed was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Gao Han to answer so sharply and confidently.
“ok。 The reporter clearly felt that Gao Han was arrogant, "Then the last question, congratulations on being nominated for the Best Manager of the Season, do you think you have any thoughts on facing the competition of famous coaches such as Ferguson, Toph Muller and Bosque?"
"Ideas?" Facing the camera, Gao Han shook his head and smiled, "No, being able to be nominated is already the biggest affirmation, and I don't particularly value it if I win the award or not." ”
"What's more, Alex Ferguson, Toph Muller and Bosque are all very good managers, and the opportunity to stand with them is the biggest affirmation and encouragement for me. ”
"I'm young, I've lost this season, and I'll have a chance in the future. ”
This time, Gao Han's answer was obviously affirmed by reporters.
"Hehe, you are too modest, and I wish you a prize here. ”
Gao Han smiled silently.
He can finally be sure that good babies, good boys, are more popular everywhere.
It's a pity that he was never a good obedient boy.
On the contrary, he prefers to be a spoiler in the thorns!(To be continued.) )
