Chapter 269: Camacho's Choice

"Thank you very much for coming, Mr. Kohan!"

In the lobby of a five-star hotel located near the headquarters of the Spanish Football Federation in Madrid, as soon as Gao Han entered the door, the Football Association officials in charge of reception immediately greeted him, looking very enthusiastic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you. Gao Han replied politely.

As early as after the Copa del Rey final, he received a face-to-face invitation from the president of the Football Association, Bilar, and later the Football Association sent another invitation, and Bilal and the Football Association officials had several phone calls, so it was difficult for him to refuse.

With the sudden rise of Atletico Madrid this season, Gao Han has also quickly become popular, becoming the most prestigious and popular coach in La Liga this season and even European football, and naturally he is also courteous.

"The venue is on the fourth floor. The Football Association official personally escorted him to the elevator, "Your old friends Aragonés and Heynckes have already arrived, and they asked you about it just now." ”

Gao Han smiled and nodded, they came quite quickly.

On the fourth floor of the hotel is a spacious banquet hall, which is not very luxurious, but it is very magnificent.

As soon as he entered the door, Gao Han immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Mr. Gao Han, you're here too. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kohan. ”

"You guys at Atletico Madrid have done so well and I hope to talk to you later. ”

"Hello Mr. Gao Han, I'm ......"

Gao Han walked all the way, stopping in two steps, smiling in three steps, and dealing with the strangers who came forward in an endless stream.

Frankly, he still doesn't feel like he's integrated into Spanish football, so he's a stranger to these people.

At most, there are a few that look familiar, but can't name them.

It wasn't until he noticed Aragonés waving at him in the corner that he quickly confessed, got rid of the pester, and walked over.

"It's more tiring than directing a game!" Gao Han shook his head and complained with a wry smile.

He really doesn't like to socialize, especially on this occasion, it's too troublesome.

If you don't want to offend people, then you have to be careful to accompany the smiling face, otherwise, you may leave an arrogant label in the circle at some point.

Although the circle of professional coaches in La Liga is not large, what kind of people don't?

"Slowly, you get used to it. Heynckes laughed.

Aragonés also nodded and said, "Yes, if you stay up for a few more years, they won't dare to come forward." ”

Gao Han swept the two old foxes in front of him, and secretly praised them in his heart.

If they had such a status in the rivers and lakes, those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods would really not dare to come up.

However, Aragonés and Heynckes also have a bad reputation in the circle, and they are both the types that are not easy to approach.

But when Gao Han came into contact, he found that there seemed to be no such thing, and it was estimated that it was very false.

The three of them gathered together, and no one dared to approach within five meters of the surroundings, which was convenient for them to talk.

"I wonder how you came up with the idea of investing in a training center in Fuenlafrada?" asked Aragonés with a smile.

As Gao Han's fame grew, he enjoyed the convenience and benefits of celebrity, and he also had to accept media attention.

Because of the high cold, the Chinese city team has also attracted the attention of the media.

But the team itself is also very competitive, promoted every year, and has now moved up to the seventh tier.

Of course, it's still very insignificant.

But this year, Gao Han bought a large plot of land in Fuenlavrada to build a training center, with an initial investment of 5 million euros, which attracted the attention of the Spanish media.

Two days ago there was a groundbreaking ceremony in which not only the mayor of Fuenlabrada was present, but also the technical director of Atletico Madrid, Paulo Futre, and several media outlets, including Marca.

Unexpectedly, it all passed to Mallorca.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I've had casual conversations with people like Toni Muñoz, Aguilera and Kiko, and I've found that a lot of players have a problematic way out of retirement. ”

When Aragonés and Heynckes heard this, they both nodded their heads again and again.

The disappearance of players after retirement is indeed a big problem for a long time.

The most famous is Pele, who was poor after retiring, and if he hadn't been valued by Nike later, I guess I don't know what to do now.

Although the current business environment is much better, many players are planning their retirement life early, and even many players have transformed into coaches after retirement, but this is still a minority.

It's like Atletico Madrid, there are so many celebrities, but only a very few can really serve and coach at the club.

There are also some people who simply set up their own football schools, but the success is rare.

It's more about transitioning, or going to some football school to teach.

"The people who can play in the big four leagues are basically the top professional players, and their experience and ability are the most valuable resources in themselves, so it's a pity to waste them all in vain, so I thought, why not pool them all together and build a professional top training center?"

"I have a strong support for this idea, they have decided to cooperate with us more deeply, and then we will hire a professional operation team to be responsible for the daily management of the training center, invite the most professional coaching team, select the best players of the right age from the surrounding areas of Madrid, enter the training center, and receive the most formal and advanced football training. ”

"At present, a number of coaches who have had outstanding professional careers have accepted our invitation, and in the future, we will continue to carry out training business for coaches, team doctors, and physical trainers. ”

In fact, coaching is a craft that values practice and experience, so it's important to teach it by hand.

These coaches in the training center have all been screened by Gao Han's eyes, and all of them are very outstanding.

If the training center can really be successful, the coach training business will definitely be very popular.

But Aragonés, who was known as the Wise Man, saw more than that.

As Gao Han said, Atletico Madrid's youth training itself has very serious shortcomings, and the emergence of the training center just makes up for the gap between the sports city and many partner football schools, and will definitely get strong support from the club.

With Gao Han's current influence, coupled with the platforms of many former Atletico Madrid legends, and backed by the big tree of Atletico Madrid, the training center is a great attraction for young players and their parents.

Through selection, selecting high-quality students, coupled with a professional operation team and coaching team, the success rate of cultivating talents is high, and it is easy to form a virtuous circle.

There are many similar football schools around the world, and the more famous one is the famous Cesarini football school founded by the Solari family of Real Madrid star, which has produced many outstanding stars for Argentina.

This set looks simple and can be executed, but the bar is high.

Among other things, two generations of the Solari family have been Argentine internationals, including Solari's father and uncle, including the Solari brothers, and Redondo, who married Solari's cousin.

Without resources like Gao Han and the Solari family, who can do it?

"I really didn't expect that you kid is not only a good player on the football field, but also not ambiguous off the field!" Heynckes laughed and praised after hearing this.

The same old fox, the Germans can also see the doorway.

This is indeed a great help to Atletico Madrid, but it can be even more helpful to the cold China City team.

"Eat with a mouthful. Gao Han also replied with a smile.

More and more guests entered the banquet hall, especially when Real Madrid coach Bosque arrived, once again attracting the attention of the audience.

Although the Galacticos had a sluggish season, losing the Copa del Rey at the centenary celebrations and failing to stand in the league, they eventually came on top, beating Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League final to win their ninth Champions League title.

What's even more striking is that Zidane scored a very beautiful flying fairy in the final.

When they lost the Copa del Rey and La Liga, many media and fans began to discuss and even criticize Real Madrid's superstar strategy, but after winning the Champions League, they began to sing the praises of virtue again.

Even one or two took the initiative to warm up for the next superstar of the Galactic Battleship.

"Have you heard anything about the World Cup roster?" asked Aragonés suddenly.

Gao Han frowned and nodded, "I heard it." ”

In the end, Camacho didn't dare to take any more risks and chose to seek stability. Aragonés shook his head and sighed.

The list has not yet been announced, but many people have already received rumors.

This time, the most selected international players are the new Champions League champion Real Madrid, which is also related to the team that Camacho is most familiar with, and the central axis of the national team composed of Morientes, Raul, Elguera, Hierro and Casillas is almost unshakable.

It can be said that Real Madrid is very important in the current Spanish national team.

Similarly, Deportivo La Coruna was also selected for a large number of people, with centre-forward Tristan, left-back Sergio Romero, and midfielders Sergio and Belleron all selected, a full four, but basically all of them were substitutes.

Valencia selected a trio of right-backs Culo Torres, Baraja and Albelda, while Barcelona also selected Puyol, Xavi and Luis Enrique.

Only Atletico Madrid, who has shined this season, has only one person selected, and that is striker Villa.

After the news broke, it caused a huge repercussion in Spain, and many people were upset about Atletico Madrid, but Camacho was very tough in an interview, saying that he has his own selection criteria.

Only insiders such as Gao Han and Aragonés can understand that it is not that Atletico Madrid's players are not strong enough, but that they do not meet Camacho's tactical requirements.

In midfield, for example, Pep Guardiola and Xavi Alonso are both playmakers who play the ball down, but in the national team, there is no such position at all, and Camacho wants the type of midfielders like Sergio, Elguera, Albelda and Baraja.

In the current national team, even Belleron has not been able to get the main position.

There are also two wings, and Camacho would rather pick Joaquín, who has shone in La Liga, to join the national team than give Torres a chance, because the former has a super ability to attack on the wings, while Torres is more familiar with the centre-forward.

Villa can be selected because he can play on the left wing.

But even if he is the top scorer in La Liga, he still can't shake the combination of Morientes and Raul.

Camacho once called up Atletico Madrid's players in the warm-up matches, and tried several times, but the results were not satisfactory.

So in the end, he went back to his old ways, and even Mendieta, who was depressed in Lazio, was selected, but he was unwilling to recruit Pep Guardiola and Xavi Alonso.

Camacho didn't even have the courage to replace the veteran Nadal with a young Marchena, even in the centre-back position.

I have to say, it's really disappointing.

But that's Camacho's choice. (To be continued.) )
