When Brescia fell into Serie B by a point last summer, the team was in turmoil for what could be described as a nightmare, with players falling apart and the squad ruined. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But just when everyone was hoping that Brescia could regroup and return to Serie A, the team performed sluggishly in Serie B, and after the first 30 rounds of league play, they only finished fifth in the league.

But nearly two months later, Zeman led the team to play six league games, Brescia won two, drew three and lost three, the results still did not improve, and the team's ranking fell one place, only ranked sixth in the league.

This also made Brescia panic, and Zeman only signed a contract with the club until the end of the season, and everyone felt that if the team had no hope of promotion, Zeman might find it difficult to stay in Brescia.

There was a deep anxiety on the training ground in Brescia, and every player was just mechanically completing the training program arranged by the coaching staff, looking without passion at all, and there was no spirit to go into battle to kill the enemy.

This made Gao Han on the sidelines look straight and shake his head, "The people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead." ”

Pep Guardiola also felt the same way and nodded very approvingly.

As a team sport, football is completed by eleven people, which requires a force to unify eleven people and let them all work together to serve the team, otherwise everyone only cares about playing football, so where does the team come from?

Brescia's current situation is that the team is not strong enough and morale is low, which cannot be changed by a change of manager at all, not to mention that Zeman has never been the kind of person who can change the situation by putting out fires in the middle of the way.

He's got his own set of ideas, so he needs a squad that can live up to his philosophy.

'Hamsik is not fit to stay at Brescia and will bring it back to Inter this summer. Gao Han made a decision.

If Brescia can return to Serie A this season, Gao Han would consider letting Hamsik stay and play in Serie A for one more year, which will also be of great benefit to the Slovak youngster, but looking at it now, there is no point.

At the rate at which the youngster is progressing, staying at Brescia would be a waste of time.

Guardiola nodded and remembered Gao Han's words, and he would arrange it when he went back.

The sudden appearance of the Inter Milan coach caused a lot of movement on the Brescia training ground, and all the players suddenly seemed to be beaten with blood, and they all performed very hard, hoping to be looked at by Gao Han.

Hamsik's personal ability is also outstanding among this group of players, very eye-catching, and from beginning to end, he is also the hardest working player on the court, diligent and diligent, although there is no very delicate footwork, but the tactical execution is high, and all aspects are quite good, so that Gao Han is very satisfied.

"This kid is a man of creation. Gao Han praised.

Pep Guardiola pointed to the goal, and Brescia's substitute goalkeeper had just made a flying save, which was quite beautiful.

"Who is that?" Gao Han asked strangely, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and his fiery eyes swept away.

Emiliano Viviano, one hundred and sixty potential, not bad.

Looking at the data again, I found that Viviano is 1.95 meters tall, quite an excellent goalkeeper body, and his reaction speed is very fast, as high as 18, which is rare.

Just as Gao Han was keeping an eye on Viviano, Zeman had already walked out of the training ground and greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, what's the situation? Why did the head coach of Inter Milan suddenly come?"

Gao Han put away his fiery eyes and stretched out his hand towards Zeman with a smile, "I've come to visit you, Zdenek." ”

"Oh?" Zeman was a little surprised, looking at Gao Han and Guardiola, it didn't seem like he was joking, he knew in his heart that there was indeed something, otherwise, the two would not have traveled more than a hundred kilometers to come here.

Thinking of this, Zeman beckoned to the assistant coach and asked him to lead the team in training, while he walked to the office with Gao Han and Guardiola, with a group of players looking disappointed behind him.

Why don't you stay a little longer?

Brescia was poor, the training ground and office space were relatively simple, and after Zeman beckoned Gao Han and the two to sit down, he went to pour them two glasses of water, and kept praising Hamsik.

"I was a little skeptical before, but after coming to Brescia, I really admired your vision, Malek is indeed quite a good young player, and if you cultivate it, you will definitely be able to become a great player in the future. ”

It can be seen that he also has a lot of appreciation for Hamsik.

"When I saw him, I couldn't help but think of Nedved in his early youth, almost out of a mold. ”

Gao Han only remembered at this time that the reason why Nedved came to Serie A was because he received an invitation from Zeman.

At that time, Zeman was supposed to be coaching Lazio.

"I'm going to bring him back to Inter Milan this summer, and although I can't give him a place in the main team, there will definitely be no fewer games. ”

Zeman was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded and said: "That's right, training with high-level teammates, this is a very good thing in itself, when I persuaded Nedved to say the same, he stayed in the Czech Republic, it is difficult to improve, but when he comes to Serie A, there are many outstanding teammates and opponents around him, which can often stimulate his faster growth and progress." ”

"That's true. Pep Guardiola agrees.

Gao Han was more interested in Zeman's tactics, and took the initiative to ask about some details about what he had just seen on the training ground, and he learned from the coaching system that Zeman's entire offensive system was not the kind of nonsense, but supported by a complete set of theoretical systems, with his own routines.

Speaking of this, Zeman laughed and introduced it quite complacently.

It turned out that he understood his own set of offensive ideas from the offensive system of other team sports such as ice hockey and rugby, including the arrangement of players' running positions, the routines of coordination, etc., all of which had a very careful overall consideration.

And this unique offensive system has also created Zeman has been a banner of offensive football in Italian football for so many years, but unfortunately he has not been able to find a suitable team and has never been able to prove himself thoroughly.

After all, the middle and lower reaches of the team are constrained by finances and team lineups, and there is definitely no way to let Zeman play at full strength.

Zeman is also full of praise for Inter Milan under Gao Han's coaching, thinking that the two have many things that are very similar in concept, especially close, and Gao Han's understanding of defense such as strong pressing and pressing has also brought Zeman a lot of touch and inspiration.

The three of them are all professional coaches, and when they talk about techniques and tactics, they immediately talk endlessly, and they can't stop at all.

It wasn't until the end of the training session outside that they realized that more than an hour had passed.

"Zdenik, you're not old, it's a pity to stay in Serie B. Gao Han sighed.

This is indeed what he is saying.

With Zeman's strength, there is no problem at all in coaching a Serie A team, or even a giant.

But over the years, he has never been able to make a difference in Serie A, failed to show his ambitions, and failed to let people see Zeman's offensive football in Serie A, which is indeed a big pity and a loss for fans.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, everyone has to take responsibility for what they do, isn't it?" Zeman replied with a slight smile as if he had completely let go of what had happened back then.

Zeman was at the peak of his coaching career, but he was suddenly accused of Juventus players taking banned drugs, and even now, many Juventus players, including Vialli and Piero, as well as famous coaches like Lippi, hate him to the core.

This also caused Zeman to be forced to leave after one season in charge of Roma, and he has been in a state of decline ever since.

"If, I mean if," Gao Han's eyes were fixed on Zeman, without blinking, "if you were to choose again, would you still stand up and reveal the truth of that fact as you did back then?"

Zeman was a little puzzled, not understanding why Gao Han suddenly asked, "Ha, it's been so long, where did it come from? ”

"What if you could, would you regret it?" Gao Han asked again very seriously.

Zeman suddenly understood that the young man in front of him was not joking, so he put away his smile and thought about it seriously, "If I had to choose again, even if I knew that I would go through this in the past few years, I would continue to do this." ”

Gao Han showed a thoughtful look.

"I know that in the last few years, there have been a lot of people who think that I want to be a hero, I want to be in the limelight, but in reality I am nothing, I don't want anything, I love football, I want to stay in professional football, so I want to be able to get a relatively pure football environment, which is not for anyone. ”

"In fact, the people who blamed me back then, they just felt that I was an insider in professional football, why should I stand on the opposite side of the insiders and tear down everyone's platform, but more people understand, and even those who criticized me have to admit how terrible and dangerous drug abuse is. ”

"It's like a group of people with Stockholm syndrome, who know the dangers of drug abuse, but they don't dare to reveal the truth, and even have hostility towards everyone who wants to reveal the truth, for fear of harming their vital interests, but this kind of thing has to be done by someone, right?"

Zeman smiled bitterly and pointed at Gao Han, "It's either you, or him, or me, or stay for later, someone will always stand up." ”

Gao Han understood what Zeman meant, and he also deeply admired the old Czech man from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps, he is not a selfless person, but at least, he has such courage.

"Actually, I'm not afraid to confess that I also had selfish intentions in that incident back then. Zeman suddenly changed his words and smiled.

"Oh?" Gao Han and Guardiola were a little surprised.

Really selfish?

"I have an uncle who coached Juventus in the 70s, and since then I have been a huge fan of Juventus, and I even slept in a Juventus shirt, and I was deeply infatuated with this team and had a very beautiful yearning for him. ”

Recalling his youthful past, Zeman looked nostalgic.

"But when I came to Italy, Juventus shattered my illusions with my own hands, and made it clear to me that it was not the Juventus I longed for and was obsessed with, and that Juventus team should not be like this. ”

Zeman paused, took a deep breath, and sighed: "What's even more sad is that countless people shout that they love him, but no one is willing to stand up and reveal the truth, is this the so-called love? Is their love endless connivance and favoritism?"

"I really hoped that Juventus would be able to learn from that incident and start again, because I believe that with so many fans who love him, he will not fall, but now ......"

Speaking of this, Zeman sighed helplessly again, silently took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, flicked it, and handed it to Gao Han and Guardiola, both of whom hurriedly waved their hands and refused.

Skillfully pulled out one, put it in his mouth, and after snapping and igniting, the whole person leaned weakly against the back of the sofa, tilted his head, and looked at the ceiling with those old and cloudy eyes.

Misty white smoke rose from his slightly open mouth, struggling to twist into various shapes.
