Chapter 229: At this point, I'm not as good as you
It's February. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The World Cup in South Korea and Japan is approaching, and in order to squeeze out more time for the national team to prepare, the La Liga schedule is tight.
Even during the national team break in February, the league continued as usual.
Because of this, after entering February, before the national football associations announced the national team squad, all teams were also eight immortals, showing their powers, doing everything possible to use their connections to grab people, and even did not hesitate to ask players to stay in the team by fraud.
The players are often torn between the interests of the club and the glory of the country.
Atletico Madrid doesn't have much of a problem in this regard, there are not many internationals, and they are not the core main players, so Gao Han is more worry-free.
In the 23rd round of the league, Atletico Madrid sat at home and easily defeated Valladolid 2-0 with Villa's brace.
Bosque's side were in a noticeable up-and-down run after beating Athletic Bilbao, with a 2-1 defeat at Espanyol in a situation very similar to the first leg against Athletic Bilbao.
Raul opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the first minute and got off to a great start.
But after the opening game, the Galaxy wanted to eat the opponent in one bite, but it didn't work, and instead, in the 33rd minute, the Spaniard seized a chance to counterattack and equalize.
After the start of the second half, Real Madrid's players were obviously in a worse mentality, and they were unable to open the situation for a long time, but were frequently seized by Espanyol.
Finally, in the 74th minute, Tamudo's decisive goal at a crucial moment scored three points for Espanyol.
Because the match was played at the same time as the Atletico Madrid match, Gao Han was unable to watch the live broadcast, but watched the video of the game immediately after the game and asked Sergio Garcia to conduct an in-depth analysis.
Not just this one, but all of Real Madrid's games this season.
He is convinced that it is absolutely no accident that he has been reversed in several games in a row.
Scandals in professional football come and go fast.
Barcelona, who finally got out of the scandal, finally ushered in an outbreak, slaughtering Tenerife 6-0 away, which also saved some popularity for Lexage's team.
Three days later, in the 24th round of the league, Atletico Madrid defeated Las Palmas 1-0 away with Kico's stunning goal, and continued to firmly defend their leading position.
However, Real Madrid never managed to get out of the slump, with Bosque's side losing 2-1 away to Valladolid.
It is worth noting that both goals conceded by the Galaxy Battleship occurred after 60 minutes of the second half.
The only goal came from Morientes, who scored in the minutes of seventy-two minutes.
Barcelona, who won big in the previous round, continued to win in this round, beating Real Sociedad 2-0.
With two consecutive wins, the media in Catalonia are all like doping, hyping up the recent situation of Barcelona.
But no one expected that three days later, in the 25th round of the league, Barcelona drew 0-0 with Real Mallorca away.
Yes, it's a draw.
If it weren't for Real Mallorca's poor ability to take chances, Eto'o and Luque missed too many good chances to score, Real Mallorca could have beaten Barcelona 3-0.
However, Aragonés continued to support Samuel Eto'o after the game, believing that the Cameroonian Cheetahs will be able to adapt and transform themselves into top strikers.
And Real Madrid, who lost two in a row, finally gave a hand in this round, beating Las Palmas 7-0 at home, and the main center forward Morientes scored four goals in a single game, and the state was terrifying.
Atletico Madrid is at home and welcomes Athletic Bilbao.
After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Atletico Madrid narrowly beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1.
But after the game, Athletic Bilbao's head coach Heynckes walked into the VIP box at Calderón Stadium.
…………
…………
"Pincuscan winery?"
Heynckes put down the goblet he had already drunk, reached for a bottle of red wine on the table, and immediately recognized the round blue label on the bottle.
"You're so willing!" the gray-haired German looked at Gao Han and said with a smile.
After drinking the wine, Heynckes' old face was as red as the wine in front of him.
"It was given by a friend, and I don't have a habit of drinking, so I keep it in the office. Gao Han said nonchalantly.
Heynckes nodded, "If this bottle of wine is outside, it will cost at least five or six hundred euros." ”
"So expensive?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
"Well, 1995 is known as the best vintage for Château Pincus, but in '97 there was a shipwreck, and after that, the price skyrocketed, and now it's hard to buy. ”
Gao Han doesn't drink much himself, so he hasn't done much research, and he is a little confused after listening to it.
"It seems that you are also a good drinker. Gao Han smiled and poured Heynckes another glass.
Heynckes didn't deny it, "Drink a little bit every night, you know, as a manager, we have to keep our heads up at all times. ”
After a pause, the German marshal smiled slightly, "When I go back, I will send a box for you to taste, the red wine in the northern region of Spain is also quite good, not lost to French red wine at all." ”
"Okay, but I'm afraid I'm a cow chewing peonies and destroying the heavens. ”
With red wine as the entry point, the relationship between the two has also become much closer, and they began to chat without a word.
It's all the head coach, and the topic is pulled back to football in a few sentences.
"To be honest, your Atletico Madrid team is really enviable. Heynckes said in a sincere tone.
"Thank you. "For Gao Han, this is a great honor.
"I also really admire your management at Athletic Bilbao, you know, it's really hard for outsiders to manage such a special team. ”
Heynckes was not polite, nodding proudly and laughing: "I'm afraid those cubs are annoying to me, because I tell them stories about my playing career at every turn, and I guess they are tired of it." ”
Gao Han laughed when he heard this.
"But it's not so much reminded and knocked all the time, it's not good, the particularity of professional football leads to the fact that a team's technical and tactical ability is important, but the mental outlook is also the key, and you must always maintain the desire to win in order to keep the team improving. ”
"Professional football is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Gao Han also said quite agreeably.
It's like in the standings, it's basically impossible for any team to keep a spot.
Either you get points and climb up the rankings, or you lose and you fall down the rankings and it's hard to hold on to a position for a long time.
"The main reason why I was able to establish a reputation at Athletic Bilbao was because I had a clear communication with the management, and I told them before I took over the team that the principles I had embraced since I took charge were that the club could fire me at any time if they were not satisfied with my results. ”
"But as long as I'm the manager of the team, I don't allow anyone to dictate my work, not even the president of the club at Real Madrid, that's the principle. ”
Heynckes' resounding words resonated with Gao Han.
If a manager can be easily swayed, where does he get his prestige?
How can a player respect such a manager?
"What about you? You're also pretty good at Atletico Madrid, what's the secret?" said Heynckes, changing the subject.
Gao Han smiled modestly, "I'm almost the same as you, but because of my age, I am more interested in the players' peers, and I think that they will be worth learning from me, so I often communicate with them and understand them better." ”
Heynckes nodded, "I'm not as good as you in this regard." ”
Gao Han was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that the German coach, who has always been known for his stubbornness and strictness, would admit this to his face, is this a bit messy?
"This management approach of yours and the football you promote at Atletico Madrid reminds me of a person. ”
"Who?" asked Gao Han curiously.
"The manager I respected the most when I was playing, Weissweiler. ”
Gao Han didn't have much of an impression of the name in his mind, so he could only keep silent.
"You don't know, it's not surprising, he was a manager from decades ago, he coached Borussia Monchengladbach in the 60s and 70s, I was in the team at the time, and he created a very delicate, very ornamental attacking football for Borussia Mönchengladbach, which completely changed my concept of football, so I coach with him in mind. ”
Gao Han is a little stunned, the style of play is delicate, and the offensive football is full of ornamentation?
Are you sure this is your goal, old man?
But no matter how you look at it, none of the teams Heynckes has led meet these two labels, right?
Even Real Madrid, who was brought to the Champions League by him that year.
You must know that the reason why Heynckes still quit after winning the Champions League at Real Madrid was that his style of play was unpleasant.
Heynckes also seemed to notice the strangeness of Gao Han's face, and smiled, "What? Don't you think it doesn't look like me?"
"Hmm. Gao Han is honest and not afraid to admit it.
The old man smiled bitterly and sighed, "This is the contradiction between ideals and reality." ”
Gao Han looked at the old German man deeply, his eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he looked at the German coach in front of him with fiery eyes, and found that it was true.
Unexpectedly, under the stubborn and conservative surface, Heynckes actually hides a heart for attacking football.
This discovery made Gao Han cry and laugh a little.
really responded to the sentence, you can't just look at the surface when looking at people.
"You've developed a solid tactical framework that can disrupt the opposition and reduce the pressure on the team by pressing in midfield, but that's not your goal, right?"
In the face of Heynckes' temptation, Gao Han smiled silently.
"If I'm not mistaken, the next step is to try to be as efficient as possible in transitioning between attack and defense, so that the team can launch the most threatening counterattack in the shortest possible time after the ball is broken, right?"
Gao Han was only impressed at this time.
Heynckes has been able to mix in European professional football for so many years, from Germany to Spain, and even led Real Madrid to win the Champions League, and is indeed a coach with considerable ability and level.
This is the third manager after Van Gaal and Aragonés to impress Gao Han.
Heynckes also seemed to get the answer from Gao Han's eyes and reaction, and he was quite embarrassed in his heart.
This is the ideal offensive football that he has always wanted to chase.
After a long time, the German coach calmed down and refocused his attention on Gao Han.
"When playing Real Madrid, the most important thing to pay attention to is not Zidane, not Figo, not Raul, but ......"
Gao Han's eyes lit up, this was the purpose of him inviting Heynckes to drink. (To be continued.) )
