"Hey, Gao Han. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Dad, where's my mom?"

"I'm here, the phone is on speakerphone, you say. ”

"How are you doing?"

"Very well, what about you?"

"It's also good. ”

"Gao Han, two days ago, you said that you changed to a better team, how is it?

"Heh, Mom, this afternoon, play later, the first one. ”

"Is it important?"

"Well, it's important. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

"That's not to be careless, your mother and I don't understand this, so I can't help you. ”

"Dad, I can handle these things myself, by the way, I asked my friend to bring back the things, have you received them?"

"No, it is estimated that he has just returned to China and is busy. ”

"I'm supposed to be looking for you in the next two days. ”

"Well, I'll explain to the sixth master. ”

……

After a few more words, Gao Han hung up the phone.

The whole person leaned heavily on the office chair behind him and exhaled heavily.

Departure time is almost up.

Although he had done his best and made all the preparations, he was still a little apprehensive.

picked up the mobile phone, found the phone that Lin Xia called from China last night, and called back.

Two beeps and the phone is on.

"Hey, Gao Han, I was about to call you. Lin Xia on the other side of the phone was obviously in a good mood, smiling.

"Didn't go out?"

"It's boring, I'd rather stay at home and surf the internet. ”

After a pause, Lin Xia smiled again: "I found that Serre Radio broadcasts this game live, it is available on the Internet, and it can be listened to in China, but there will be some delays." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm. Lin Xia nodded, "By the way, I'm sorry, in the past two days after returning to China, I have been pestered by my parents and parents, and I really can't spare time, so I will send things to my uncle and aunt tomorrow morning." ”

"Well, good. ”

"What's the matter?

"Sort of. ”

Lin Xia smiled, "When British Olympic champion Sally Gunnar overcame her injury and broke the 400-meter hurdle record in 1993, she couldn't believe she could do it. ”

She said that along the way, the obstacles in her heart are far more difficult to cross than the wooden fence on the runway, and she will always be like carrying a croaking duck on her shoulder, constantly spreading doubts and negative energy. ”

"And then?" asked Gao Han with a smile.

Then, she said, to have a clear self-awareness and belief, to always remember your original purpose, to be true to yourself and your heart, and not to lose to that pesky duck. ”

Gao Han laughed when he heard this, "Is this really what she said?"

"Uh...... It was debunked by you, well, the duck was what she said, but the latter sentence was added by me. ”

"You chicken soup for the soul, it's a good cook!"

"That's right, I'm a good soup maker. ”

"Do you think I praise you?"

"I'm really good at cooking. ”

"Really?"

"Doubt me, wait for me to go back, show you both hands!"

"Okay!"

Silence for a while......

"Oh, seriously. ”

"Well, listen. ”

"Don't lose to that pesky duck!"

"That is, after drinking the chicken soup you cooked, my waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer painful, and I am able to walk. ”

"Shh

……

Hung up the phone, Gao Han walked back to the back room, washed his face with cold water, and suddenly felt that the whole person was refreshed.

Looking at the face covered in water in the mirror, he nodded slightly.

"Handsome guy, don't lose to that pesky duck!"

"Come on!"

…………

…………

This is the second time that Gao Han has set foot at the Ballekas Stadium.

The last time I came was in the final of the Madrid Community Invitational against Real Madrid II.

But this time, he represents Atletico Madrid.

Half a year later, the course is as old and simple as ever, and the quality of the turf on the course is still so bad that it has even grown and has not been taken care of.

Unlike the last time, this time, as soon as they entered, they were greeted with a warm boo from the fans at the scene.

The fans in the stands on three sides of the stand rallied and attacked, and the scene was quite exciting.

But the atmosphere in the stadium was far from ideal.

"Hello, Mr. Takahan. ”

Seeing Gao Han walk out of the plastic-roofed players' tunnel, Rayo Vallecano's head coach Juan de Ramos took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Ramos!"

The two shook hands on the sidelines.

It was just a knockout match for the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, and the two teams against it, one in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga and the other in La Liga, did not broadcast the game live on TV.

And judging by the color of the fans in the stands at the scene, almost all Rayo Vallecano fans.

Atletico Madrid fans are presumably already giving up.

Gao Han was a fledgling and young, and he didn't know Juande Ramos, but after a few polite greetings, the two returned to their respective dugouts.

'This is Rayo Vallecano's starting line-up. Cantarero handed out a piece of paper.

Gao Han took it and looked at it, four-four-two.

This is Juander Ramos's usual tactics at Rayo Vallecano, a well-balanced formation.

Up front are two tall and muscular centre-forwards, Bolo and Bolic.

Don't look at the two center forwards who don't score many goals, but the key is that the tactical effect is quite large, especially in La Liga, where the defensive line is generally low, and it is a big killer.

Both flanks are full of individual players, Spain's Michel and Portugal's Elias.

The two players in the middle of the midfield, one is the German midfielder Boschner, the other is the Spanish midfielder, the former Atletico Madrid player Gbedo, the latter is the back of the line, the weapon of Rayo Vallecano's goal.

Juande Ramos' attacking routine is the same as the 442 formation he chose.

Either the ball goes straight from the back to the striker, or it is a cross through a wide player, who acts as a tactical pillar to suppress the opposition defence, cut in for the wide player, and create opportunities for the midfielder to cut in.

This set of tactics is nothing special, and it is almost the same as the tactics used by Antich when Atletico Madrid won the double in 9596, but the players are different and slightly adjusted.

This is also the mainstream tactic in Spanish football right now.

In particular, the combination of two midfielders is standard.

"You can see that they are also determined to win!" Cantarero said worriedly.

Judging from the starting lineup, Rayo Vallecano can be said to be the main force and play with the strongest lineup.

Gao Han patted Cantarero's shoulder vigorously and smiled, "Isn't that just right? It's fun to fight such an opponent, isn't it?"

All the anxieties, insecurities and worries have to be hidden in the heart.

The big war was imminent, and he had to give confidence to everyone under his command.

If even he panicked and messed up, then he didn't have to fight the game, and he would lose.

…………

…………

After the warm-up session, the Rayo Vallecano players returned to the home team's dressing room.

Coach Juan de Ramos has been waiting there for a long time.

Usually at this time, when both starting lineups are out, the head coach will have a pre-match meeting to make some minor adjustments to each other's starting line-ups and remind the players of the details that need to be noted.

"Atletico Madrid's starting lineup has four youngsters in one go, all of whom are newcomers from the second team, which is very bold, but it is also our chance!"

Juan de Ramosyan smiled at the piece of paper with the Atletico Madrid starting line-up in his hand.

"Newcomers, don't care how they perform in the second team, but this is the knockout round of the Copa del Rey, and it's their first game, and they must have no bottom in their hearts, easy to panic, easy to mess up, and lack of game experience. ”

A group of players came from Xinding, so they naturally know what Ramos said.

That's all a common problem for newcomers.

'Atletico Madrid's formation has changed a bit, a creative midfielder, Hugo Leal, a player who hasn't been as good as he could be in the last two seasons, sticky and fancy. ”

"Giving up wide players like Roberto and Jose Luke in favour of the three midfielders who dragged them down, Zoran Nigus, Oscar Mena and Xavi Alonso, was an obvious effort to strengthen the defence, but at the expense of the wings. ”

"In response to this, we might as well press deeper after the opening, pass the ball more to the wings, and focus on the attack on the wings. ”

Attacking from the wings, this is Rayo Vallecano's forte.

In the opinion of Juander Ramos, Gao Han's tactical play is inevitably overkill.

In order to make up for the defensive problems of Zambrano and Marcos Alonso, the flanks of the midfield were abandoned, so even if the central defense was stable, what could be done?

Rayo Vallecano's two high school forwards are not furnishings in the box!

"Atletico Madrid are determined to win this game, but this is our home stadium and we have to let them know from the start who is in charge here!"

…………

…………

"After the game, no matter what the opponent's tactics were, we held on first. ”

In the away team's locker room, Gao Han was also holding a pre-game meeting, arranging targeted tactics.

"After all, this is an away game, first stand firm, and then plan slowly, you must not be in a hurry, you must be patient. ”

The players may have different expressions on their faces, but they all nodded in unison.

Trailing 0-2 on aggregate left Atletico Madrid without any initiative and no advantage.

Instead, Rayo Vallecano has too many options.

But in any case, Gao Han has decided that it is more important for the team to gain a firm foothold first than anything else.

"You can think back to the last two or three days of training, you have to trust me, as long as we play at the level we are training in, we are absolutely capable of beating the opponent and getting the right to qualify. ”

When the players heard Gao Han's words, they all began to think about it in unison, and some players even closed their eyes altogether.

In the past few days, Gao Han's training has been completely different from all the previous head coaches, especially the group confrontation training, which is too different, but with the deepening and proficiency of the training, they have gradually understood the beauty of this set of training.

Through training, they also learned about the philosophy that the manager wants to instill in them.

Combined with Gao Han's words just now, it gave them confidence to some extent.

"Everyone. ”

When the time was almost up, Gao Han once again broke the silence in the locker room and looked around at the eleven starters.

With the exception of centre-back Pablo, who was not in the squad, the other four second-team players he promoted to the first team were all in the starting line-up, along with Leal, Aguilera, Santi Denia, Ibic, Oscar Mena and Zoran Nigus, as well as goalkeeper Toni Jimenez.

Gao Han was looking at everyone, and everyone was also looking at him.

"It's been a troubled season, the team has been in the relegation zone of La Liga so far, and almost all the fans and media, even the management, have lost faith in us. ”

"The head coach alone has changed two, and I'm the third!"

"I don't want to say those superfluous words, I'm sure everyone understands. ”

"I just want to tell you one thing, whether Atletico Madrid will go to destruction or return to the top, it depends on tonight's battle, it is in the hands of all of you!"

"I'm sure you won't let me down!"
