2014 is destined to be a year to remember.

This summer's transfer market has been unprecedentedly booming, with blockbuster transfers coming one after another.

The two giants, led by Real Madrid and Barcelona, are even more breathtaking.

Neymar set a new sky-high price of 150 million euros, Suarez and Aguero also equaled Gareth Bale's sky-high price of 100 million euros, and even Atletico Madrid, which has always been known for its cost-effective recruitment, made a rare move, bringing in Sanchez for 80 million euros, and the arms race of the three La Liga giants shocked the world.

However, the signing of many superstars has also greatly enhanced the influence of La Liga, and the star-studded collection has increased the attention of La Liga, making it the most eagerly awaited competition for fans around the world in the new season.

All fans are looking forward to whether the three giants can continue to dominate La Liga, and whether the dark horse Chinatown can continue the legendary course of last season, especially for the head coach Zidane, who is full of expectations.

But there are also many people who are puzzled by the summer transfer of Chinatown, because when Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have all invested heavily, Chinatown has not made a single transfer signing, which is absolutely unimaginable.

Not only that, but China City sold Godin, the team's defensive pillar, to Atletico Madrid for a high price of 50 million euros, which undoubtedly further intensified the outside world's doubts about China City, thinking that this team will fall apart after a good time like the previous Ajax?

Just when public opinion was high, the French team newspaper broke the news again, and was soon officially recognized by Chinatown and Paris Saint-Germain, and Italian midfielder Verratti transferred to Paris Saint-Germain at a sky-high price of 100 million euros.

The central midfielder of Chinatown is hailed as Andrea Pirlo II, but some think he is more like Xavi, but whoever it is, it is enough to prove that he was a crucial part of the Chinatown midfield last season, but now, Chinatown has sold him to Paris Saint-Germain, which is not equivalent to cutting off his arm?

After sending Verratti away, Chinatown officially announced that it had successfully renewed the contract with the best central defender of the World Cup, De Vrij, which was equivalent to cutting off the idea of other teams poaching De Vrij.

Speaking to the media, the club's technical director Cantarero said that Chinatown's main task this summer is to maintain the stability of the squad, and Verratti's transfer is indeed regrettable, but he firmly believes that the team will not fall apart because of the loss of a player.

'Yes, there's no doubt that Verratti is a vital part of the team, but we also have Isco, Paul Pogba, Kevin De Bruyne and Koke, we have a very good group of young players and I am confident that after last season's experience our players will be more mature and more competitive. ”

But Cantarero's remarks are suspicious.

Competitors have invested heavily in it, even Atletico Madrid, which has invested more than 150 million euros in transfer fees, why doesn't Chinatown bring in reinforcements to compete with the three giants?

In an unobtrusive situation, Chinatown signed French winger Kingsley Coman from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, the player was promoted by Gao Han and tapped into the first team, but in the talent-rich Paris Saint-Germain has never been able to get a chance, even after the transfer of Neymar this season, Paris Saint-Germain has not been able to give a strong commitment.

In the end, the two sides could not reach an agreement on the issue of contract extension, and Kingsley Coman entered the transfer market as a free transfer.

This French treasure has a halo of alpine hand-picking, and naturally attracts attention, and almost half of the European giants flock to him, but he finally chose Chinatown, because there is his idol Zidane, and there is also Gao Han, whom he respects the most.

…………

…………

When Gao Han returned home with the leader's delegation, dealt with some things in China, and returned to Europe again, the time had already entered August, and the pace of the new season was getting closer and closer.

This summer, Chinatown chose to go to Spain's Canary Islands for training, the most important thing is to avoid the harassment and entanglement of the media and fans, so that everyone in the team can focus on the training camp, especially in the later stage, after the international players who participated in the World Cup have returned to the team, the team has a rare squad.

As Prime Minister Rajoy approaches his visit to China in September, there are even more things that need to be handled and coordinated.

But the journey of the new season in Chinatown has already begun quietly.

On 12 August, the 2014 UEFA Super Cup was held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, where Chinatown defeated Europa League champions Sevilla 2-0 thanks to goals from Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann to win the first UEFA Super Cup in the club's history.

After playing the UEFA Super Cup, Chinatown returned to Madrid non-stop to start preparations for the Spanish Super Cup a week later.

The two-legged match will be played in three days, and the opponent will be Atletico Madrid, away first and then home, which will also be the first match ushered in by the new stadium in Chinatown, and the team attaches great importance to it.

Gao Han finally took some time out and came to the training ground in Chinatown.

…………

…………

The day's training session is over, but there are still a lot of people on the first team's comprehensive training ground.

The coaching staff, including manager Zinedine Zidane, a number of first-team players including Eden Hazard, Alvaro Morata and Jesus, as well as a number of young youth players such as Dembele, Anthony Martial and Kylian Mbappe, as well as new French player Kingsley Koeman, are all gathered on the first-team training ground.

Since Zinedine Zidane officially took charge of Chinatown, the team has had an extra "tradition", a small stove.

Not only first-team coaches like Zinedine Zidane and Claude Makelele, but also Cantarero and some of his technical staff are often present on such occasions, and they will improve and strengthen the weaknesses of different players in different categories.

For example, Buenaventura specializes in training players with poor physical fitness and physical fitness, so his training venues are more on the track and in the gym, Makelele is the defensive awareness, positioning and interception of the special training players, and Zidane is the shooting, dribbling and ball distribution of the special training players.

The training ground was in full swing, and no one noticed the arrival of the high cold on the sidelines.

"At the beginning, the coaching staff just wanted to train a few players such as Hazard, Jesse and Morata, but I didn't expect more and more players to be interested and take the initiative to stay and practice, and gradually formed such a unique culture of opening up small stoves. ”

Cantarero, who was following Gao Han, smiled wryly and shook his head.

It's not a bad thing for players to practice, and many teams want their players to practice more, but it's really rare for so many people to take the initiative to stay and practice like Chinatown.

It can be seen that Zidane is also a very responsible head coach, but he does not refuse to come, at first he was only a first team, and then even the boys of the youth team came here, so that the people in the venue maintenance team complained a lot, saying that they delayed their off-duty time and asked for overtime pay. ”

Gao Han couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, which was very similar to the characteristics of the Spaniards.

However, such a small amount of overtime pay is no longer worth mentioning for the current Chinatown.

The influence and appeal of superstars are vividly reflected in the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Makelelele.

But as a player in Chinatown, who doesn't want to be able to accept the guidance and training of Zidane and Makellele?

"It's good to practice more, but you have to ask Buenaventura to pay attention to the physical condition of the players, especially the young players and the injured players, you have to be more protected, you must not overtrain and get injured again and again. Gao Han wakes up.

When players are young, they often pay less attention to their bodies, thinking that they are young and strong, recover quickly, and do not pay attention to maintenance and protection, and as a result, it is easy to fall into the root of the disease, and when the physical fitness deteriorates, all the injuries will come up in one go, and it is easy to be injured again and again, or the state will plummet after a certain age.

"Don't worry, when they practice, the medical team will arrange special personnel to follow up to ensure that there will be no problems. Cantarero replied.

Cantarero has always been cautious and leaky, and Gao Han is still very relieved of him.

On the pitch, Zidane has become the busiest man.

He was in the front pitch to coach the attacking players in the attacking tactics such as Eden Hazard, Jesus, Morata and Antoine Griezmann, all of whom demanded that they be able to shoot with both left and right feet, and today's bonus was to volley directly into the goal after receiving crosses from the wings.

This is Cristiano Ronaldo's famous trick.

In addition, Zidane will personally demonstrate how to get rid of the entanglement of defenders by running in depth, many of which may seem simple and practical, but they are all inherited from Zidane's predecessors or through decades of personal experience in football.

For the backline, Zidane is more to guide them on how to play the ball, how to reasonably distribute the ball, and even attack directly, because the distribution of the ball in the backfield is different from that in the midfield, and Zidane, as one of the greatest players in professional football history, has an understanding and understanding of this that is often unimaginable to others.

Claude Makelele will also personally show his players how to prevent easy getting rid of attacking players, and he is once the world's most solid defensive midfielder, and now he is not only carefully training Ilia Ramendi and N'Golo Kante, but also trying to improve the team's entire defensive system and the defensive awareness of every player.

This kind of invaluable experience gained through the words and deeds of Zinedine Zidane and Claude Makelele is a precious, if not an opportunity, for any player.

That's why so many players are willing to stay and practice.

Cantarero also specially arranged for the technical team to observe and record, and the scene was also filmed with video recordings, which are invaluable assets for China City and will be of great help to cultivate young players in the future.

Gao Han watched quietly from the sidelines, and he was now more and more proud and glad that he had chosen Zidane in the first place.

Zinedine Zidane may prove to be a little immature and inexperienced in many ways, but as a new head coach, his attitude, and his valuable experience, are an asset to any team, let alone a young guard team with a predominantly young player base like Chinatown.

'It seems that his confidence in the team is not without reason. Gao Han smiled.

Zinedine Zidane said at a high-level meeting two months ago that he was full of confidence in the team's journey for the new season, and now it seems that this should be the source of his confidence.

With such a group of players and such a group of coaches, why worry that this team will have no future?

No matter how much the opponent strengthens the reinforcements, Chinatown's results will not be far behind.

In the final analysis, youth is the greatest potential and the greatest advantage of Chinatown.
