"Welcome to Tel Aviv, Mr. Gao Han!"

When Gao Han and his entourage arrived at the lobby door of a five-star hotel in Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, the hotel manager immediately greeted them from inside the gate and personally opened the back door for Gao Han. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hello. After Gao Han got out of the car, he shook hands with him politely.

By this time, Paul Futrey and Carlos Pena had already gotten out of the other side of the car and walked over.

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

"Me too, Sergey. ”

The hotel manager named Sergei immediately invited the three into the lobby of the hotel.

This is a 5-star hotel with a traditional Israeli style and atmosphere, facing the Mediterranean Sea and a very beautiful view.

In away matches in European competitions, teams generally have to stay in hotels.

Although Atletico Madrid's UEFA Cup quarter-finals were only played for the first leg, it is certain to make some preparations for the semi-finals in advance, such as contacting the hotel in advance.

If you wait until after the second round of the match, you will be in too much of a hurry and may even make a mistake.

Therefore, Gao Han's trip is not only to inspect the match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Dortmund, but also to help the team inspect the hotel.

If Hapoel Tel Aviv upsets Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid knocks out Feyenoord and the two sides meet in the semi-finals, Atletico Madrid will stay at this hotel.

This is also one of the reasons why the hotel manager entertained Gao Han and the two with such hospitality.

The fact that Atletico Madrid was able to stay was a great boost for this seaside resort.

"Our hotel has just been renovated and we have brought in a team with a lot of international experience in hotel management, and we are also based on the traditional character of Tel Aviv. ”

While entertaining the three of them, the hotel manager is also introducing the advantages of the hotel.

"If Atletico Madrid is able to stay, it will be the beach festival in our hotel, and there will be a Miss Beach contest, which will be very lively. ”

"We would love to come and stay too. Paul Futrey laughed.

If you really meet Hapoel Tel Aviv in the semi-finals, it will be equivalent to guaranteeing the final.

A team like Atletico Madrid, staying in this hotel, usually enjoys high-standard treatment, such as dedicated access, special security, and some special arrangements for the hotel, etc., which need to be communicated in advance.

If it is a giant like Real Madrid, it even has to be cleared early, otherwise, those fans who come after the superstar can make a mess of the hotel's security.

Atletico Madrid is not so outrageous, but the hotel side also takes it very seriously.

It's the most popular team in Europe this season, and who can guarantee that it won't attract a large number of fans?

Just as the hotel manager was communicating the details with Carlos Pena, the team leader in charge, the hotel security guard guarding the perimeter stopped a tall young girl who wanted to come over.

I only heard the two of them babbling over there in Hebrew, and I didn't know what they were talking about, but I felt that the girl was getting more and more anxious the more she spoke, and kept pointing in the direction of Gao Han and the others.

Finally, the movement caught the attention of the hotel manager.

"What's going on?" asked the manager, a little irritated.

The security guard glared at the girl and could only lead her over.

The first impression of this girl is that her naturally curly hair is like a thin snake coiled on the top of her head, and with her beautiful face, it gives people a feeling of Medusa.

"She came to sign up for the Miss Beach audition, but she was late and the registration just ended, so she ......"

This time, the conversation between the security guard and the manager was in English, and Gao Han and the others could understand it.

The Medusa girl also seemed to notice the existence of Gao Han and the others, as if she sensed something, and immediately explained: "I came here by car from the countryside dozens of kilometers away to sign up, but I took the wrong bus, so I was late." ”

The hotel manager looked at Gao Han and shook his head at the girl, "I'm sorry, miss, the registration time has passed......"

"It's only been ten minutes, can't you be accommodating?" asked the Medusa girl rhetorically, "Hasn't your hotel always advertised humanized service?"

These words immediately choked the hotel manager speechless.

Gao Han also looked funny on the side, but he didn't expect this little girl to look very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but she was so bold and direct when she spoke, which was a bit interesting.

"I'm sorry, Miss, the registration time is over, you can come back next time. "The hotel manager is still on business.

After hearing this, the little girl pouted, with a look of loss, "You only hold it once every three years, and when you do it again in the next session, I have to join the army......

When Gao Han heard this, it suddenly occurred to him that even women in Israel had to serve in the military, which can be said to be a soldier for all people.

Looking at the tall and skeletal little girl in front of him, but a little slender, he couldn't bear it in his heart.

Being able to sign up by car from dozens of kilometers away shows her sincerity.

"Sergey, if you can, help her. Gao Han said.

"yes, it's not a big deal to be that late. Paul Futtre couldn't bear it.

Seeing that Gao Han had spoken, the hotel manager hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Since even Mr. Gao Han intercedes for you, then make an exception for you, but if you are late again in the future......"

"Don't worry, no, I promise!" the little girl immediately grinned, smiling very happily.

Seeing her little girl laughing like a pistachio, everyone laughed too.

Gao Han and the three of them flew over after a long journey, and they had to watch the game at night, so they didn't stay, and went back to the room directly.

When Gao Han and the three of them left, the little girl followed the hotel manager to go through the registration procedures, and then asked, "Manager, who was that young brother just now?"

"He?" the hotel manager asked with a smug smile, "you don't usually pay attention to football, do you?"

"Well, I'm on the school basketball team. The little girl replied.

"No wonder, his name is Gao Han, and he is now the hottest head coach in Europe. ”

"He, the head coach," the little girl stumbled.

How old is it to become the head coach of a European football team?

Even though she's not a fan, she knows how unbelievable it is.

"Which team's?"

"La Liga, Atletico Madrid!"

…………

…………

It turns out that the Tel Aviv Hapoel is really not a soft persimmon.

Don't look at Dortmund's fierce attack from Germany, but Chapoel Tel Aviv, who was sitting at home, was impregnable, and finally broke Dortmund's goal with a counterattack in the 32nd minute of the first half.

The score of 1-0 was also maintained until the end of the game.

While such a result does not guarantee a smooth passage for Hapoel Tel Aviv, as Dortmund still have a home stadium, it proves at least one thing that there are no underdogs in Europe.

After watching the match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Borussia Dortmund, Gao Han stayed in Tel Aviv for one night and took an early flight back to Madrid early the next morning to preside over the team's training.

March 16, the thirtieth round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid continued their winning streak with a narrow 1-0 win away win over Zaragoza.

Barcelona drew 1-1 at home to Real Madrid and dropped to seventh in the league.

Deportivo La Coruna beat Osasuna 3-1 at home, while Valencia suffered a 1-2 upset at Rayo Vallecano.

On March 21, the second leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.

Atletico Madrid returned to the Calderón Stadium to welcome Feyenoord.

This time, the young man who is favored by Alpine Van Persie won the starting position as Feyenoord's left midfielder.

But this made Gao Han shake his head a little helplessly.

Because Feyenoord is playing away from home, the strength itself is weak, and it must be based on defensive counterattacks, in this case, it is difficult for Van Persie's left midfielder to play to his advantages.

As it turned out, Gao Han's judgment was not wrong at all.

Van Persie changed his highlights from the first leg as a substitute and was very sluggish in the second leg, and was substituted in the 63rd minute of the second half.

At that time, Atletico Madrid was already leading by two goals.

The Bandoners continued to work hard and created a lot of threats, but they were never able to convert them into goals.

In the end, they defeated Feyenoord 2-0 and advanced to the semi-finals.

Around the same time, in Germany, Borussia Dortmund's home match against Hapoel Tel Aviv was also underway.

The Israeli side failed to pull off an upset this time, being breached in just five minutes before conceding again in the final minute of the first half and losing 2-0.

Dortmund also defeated their opponents 2-1 on aggregate by virtue of the home game and successfully advanced to the final.

The other two matches were also decided.

Rafael Benitez's Valencia returned home to a poor start after drawing away at Inter Milan, conceding a goal after two minutes and eventually being eliminated by Inter.

AC Milan defeated Liberec over two legs without any danger and advanced to the semi-finals.

At this point, the two matchups in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup have also been released.

La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid took on Borussia Dortmund, who finished second in the Bundesliga, while AC Milan and Inter Milan staged a European version of the Milan derby.

This has also made the UEFA Cup successfully attract the attention of fans around the world, after all, such a fight is rare in European football, and the Champions League is only now in the second stage of the group stage, unlike the League Cup, the competition has reached a fever pitch.

As soon as the draw for the UEFA Cup ended, Atletico Madrid immediately arranged everything according to the schedule of home and away matches.

Gao Han and the coaching staff have also begun to arrange the team's training for the schedule, focusing on adjusting the condition of the players.

On March 24, in the 31st round of the league, Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 4-0 at home.

Although it was a clean sheet, Sevilla's left winger Reyes was quite active, which made Gao Han feel sorry.

If he had made a move earlier, Reyes would have belonged to Atletico Madrid.

A week later, on March 30, the thirty-second round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid finally relied on Kiko's stunning goal to defeat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 and continue the winning streak.

In midweek, on the 4th of April, the Estadio Calderón finally welcomed the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund set up a fight in their respective halves, with two young coaches, Gao Han and Summer, standing on the sidelines to supervise the formation.

The game is ready to go!(To be continued.) )
