Chapter 719: There Will Be Brave Men Under Heavy Rewards

After many years of absence, the whole city of Munich was excited to reach the Champions League final again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the morning of the second day of the Barcelona game, the cold drove to Sebena, and along the way there were traces of the crazy celebrations of the fans last night, many of whom had stayed through the night, according to the newspapers.

As the head coach of Bayern Munich, Gao Han is proud of this.

As usual, after arriving at the Sebena training base, Gao Han first went to the cafeteria, and took advantage of the meal time to explain to Tuchel and other aides the precautions for this morning's recovery training, as well as to prepare materials for the summary meeting.

This is also Gao Han's consistent process, and the assistants also know it very well and have been prepared for a long time.

After finishing breakfast, they went to their own business, and Gao Han also returned to the head coach's office.

By this time, Hoeness and Nelinger were already waiting for him at the door of the office.

"What's the matter with me so early?" Gao Han smiled and welcomed them into the office.

Both men were also clearly pleased with their team's reach for the final, smiling from ear to ear when they met, but quickly got down to business.

"This year's Champions League final was held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy, which has a total capacity of more than 60,000 fans, and we got 20,000 tickets, so we thought about giving the rest to our members, except for some of the ones that were left for our own use and given to sponsors. ”

Bundesliga tickets are inherently cheap, and Bayern Munich has managed to reach a Champions League final once, so they will definitely give priority to the team's die-hard fans in terms of tickets, after all, it will be of great benefit to the team to attract more die-hard loyalists to cheer at the Olympic Stadium.

"Just like last year's Premier League final, the UK government is taking this game very seriously, not only will Prime Minister Gordon Brown be there to cheer on the occasion, but the British royal family will also arrange for Prince William to be on hand to supervise the game, and our President Horst Kohler and Chancellor Angela Merkel will also be on hand to cheer. ”

In Europe, football has always been a pro-people initiative that politicians attach great importance to.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has suffered in football before, so now she is more important than anyone else.

Not only will the heads of government of the two countries gather, but Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will also be accompanied by UEFA President Michel Platini, which has formed a political force in the stands that should not be underestimated.

Sometimes Gao Han has to admit that at least in terms of leadership at the highest level, Europe attaches more importance to the development of football than China.

Of course, this situation is constantly improving.

Gao Han once heard a rumor that Japan would attach importance to the development of professional football, because the Japanese prime minister came to Europe to attend a meeting, and found that the European leaders attending the meeting were talking about football, which made him feel that he and they seriously lacked common topics, so after returning to Japan, he vigorously developed Japanese football, which led to the take-off of Japanese football in recent years.

For such rumors, it is difficult for Gao Han to distinguish the truth from the false, but it shows the influence of football in Europe.

"Oh, yes. Hoeness suddenly remembered something, "I heard that in those few days, your Chinese prime minister happened to visit Europe to attend the annual China-Europe meeting, and I heard that the EU and Germany were interested in arranging for him to go to Rome to watch the battle." ”

"Really?" Gao Han was surprised.

The prime minister's visit to Europe was originally planned last year, but then it was shelved because of some differences and contradictions between the two sides, and it has only now been restarted, and he will visit Europe at the end of the month.

"You should know that the European Union, led by Germany and France, has always attached great importance to developing relations with China, and now it is rare to have such an opportunity, and they will definitely not miss it. ”

Gao Han nodded slightly, of course it is best to come, and it is only a pity that he can't come.

'One more thing, we're already starting to prepare for the Champions League final, that's our initial plan. ”

Gao Han stretched out his hand to take a copy of the materials handed over by Hoeness, opened it and looked at it seriously.

The team travelled to Rome to play the Champions League final, which is not a trivial matter, and the preparation alone is quite a lot and quite troublesome.

The simplest food, clothing, housing and transportation are relatively easy to solve, after all, the team has rich experience in away games.

According to the club's arrangement, one of the team's buses will depart for Rome two days in advance to familiarize themselves with the route from the hotel to the Olympic Stadium and rehearse the itinerary of a match day to ensure a smooth journey.

But food and shelter are a big problem.

The diet of a professional footballer is very important, especially before this kind of big game, and there is no room for mistakes.

Think about it, if before the Champions League final, the players have a bad diet, or eat the wrong thing, then how can they play?

Bayern Munich's plan is also very simple, the club will arrange for the chef to accompany the team to Rome, check in to the hotel in advance, take over the team's food, and all the ingredients will be flown from Munich to Rome to ensure that the players' diet in Rome is basically the same as in Sebena.

"It's the hotel that's more troublesome, and then I'll go to Rome with Christian and inspect a few hotels on the spot. Hoeness said with great emphasis.

Trained as a professional footballer, he understands the importance of sleeping the night before for the next day.

If nothing else, let's just say that not long ago Bayern Munich played Chelsea away, and there was a fire alarm in the early morning, how outrageous must this be?

Although it was a false alarm, it seriously affected the team's preparation for the next day and the state of the players.

Without that fire, Bayern Munich could have fared even better.

"Hotels in Rome are always very good, and my advice is that you don't just look at the dΓ©cor and make a decision, but it's better to stay for one night in person before making a decision, especially the security and confidentiality measures on the part of the hotel. ”

Both Hoeness and Nelinger value Gao Han's opinion very much, as he has coached in Serie A and is familiar with Roma.

In addition, after experiencing the Chelsea incident, Gao Han also has higher requirements for hotels.

Meticulous pre-game preparation, this has always been a feature of the high cold.

"Well, then we will look for a few suitable ones, one for one night, and feel it on the spot. Hoeness chuckled.

Anyway, there is a club fund reimbursement, and they are happy to go to Rome for a vacation, and it is a publicly-funded tour, how cool.

'The other thing is that the club has to prepare in advance. ”

Seeing Gao Han's solemn expression, both Hoeness and Nelinger felt the pressure, "What?"

"The law and order in Rome is not good, but the fans are very excited, so every Rome derby, or the match between Milan and Juventus to Rome, it is easy to cause riots among the fans, and even some people die because of it. ”

Hearing Gao Han say this, Hoeness and Nelinger suddenly understood.

Indeed, since the past few years, Roma's football hooligans have frequently appeared in the newspapers, and racial discrimination has also been repeatedly banned.

During the Champions League final, fans from all over the world gathered in Rome City, coupled with the excitement of the Champions League final, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, especially those football hooligans in Rome, who have to be guarded against.

Both Hoeness and Nelinger looked at Gao Han with gratitude, but fortunately he still remembered the fans.

"We immediately made arrangements to arrange for a visit to the site and got in touch with the Rome and UEFA organising committees, and each ticket came with a safety guide to help the fans get in and out safely. ”

Hoeness's decision was also agreed by Gao Han and Nelinger, but it is not an easy task to organize 20,000 fans, and Bayern Munich can only say that they do their best, depending on the vigilance of the fans themselves.

In addition to the team's food, clothing, housing and transportation in Rome City, Hoeness also talked to Gao Han about adjusting the prize money for winning the championship.

At present, the team has won the Bundesliga title, the Champions League and the German Cup have also reached the final, and the possibility of winning the Grand Slam is very high.

The club also attaches great importance to the team's winning the treble, so it was decided to add a Grand Slam bonus of up to 12 million euros in addition to the original contract award.

This is an additional bonus from the club to the team.

As the head coach, the club also further increased Gao Han's championship award, adding an additional 5 million euros to the original contract of 5 million euros, hoping that Gao Han can continue to work hard and lead the team to win this unprecedented Grand Slam.

In other words, at the end of the season, if Gao Han wins the treble, he will receive a prize of 10 million euros.

I have to say that this is indeed a unique big deal in the history of Bayern Munich.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards, and this also applies to professional football.

But the club is not at a loss, because according to Bild's statistics, if Bayern Munich finally wins the Grand Slam, the prize money alone will exceed 100 million, not to mention the matchday income and the potential benefits of the championship, which are immeasurable.

What Hoeness and Nelinger mean is that they want to announce the club's decision to the players before this morning's training session to boost the team's morale and keep them going.

Gao Han agreed.

Successfully qualified for the Champions League final, Gao Han also began to adjust Bayern Munich's goals.

The next three Bundesliga games were played in eight days, so Gao Han rotated the team significantly, beating Cottagers 3-1 away, Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 at home, and then Hoffenheim 2-0 away to continue the winning streak.

But this does not mean much to Bayern Munich, who have already won the championship in advance.

After playing Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich ushered in the German Cup.

This is the second cup title that the Bundesliga giants will be aiming for this season, against Werder Bremen.

Gao Han has a natural psychological advantage over Schaaf's team, and the next major Champions League final is in a week, so Gao Han played as much as he could this time, but in the end he only won 1-0 with Klose's goal.

Many media and fans are not particularly satisfied with Bayern Munich's performance, but Gao Han said that this is the coaching staff's intention to adjust the condition of the players in order to play at the best level in the Champions League final.

After playing Werder Bremen and successfully defending the German Cup, Gao Han once again fielded a full bench lineup to face Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena.

As a result, in the first half, the Bundesliga giants led 2-0 thanks to goals from Demichelis and Khedira, but Stuttgart striker Gomes pulled one back in the second half.

But in the end, Bayern Munich won 2-1 and won the successful finale.

After the game, the Bundesliga giants were also at the Allianz Arena and received the Bundesliga championship sand table.

But Gao Han and the coaching staff, as well as the club as a whole, began to set their sights on the Stadio Olimpico in Rome four days later, for the upcoming Champions League final.
