"Christmas is coming, double happiness is coming, shouldn't you treat all of us to a good meal?"

In his office at the Pinettina training base, Guardiola looked at Gao Han with malice and asked with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Look at his appearance, that tone, you don't have to think about it to know, this meal is definitely not simple.

If you don't eat the cold and don't eat it, it will disappoint his expression a little.

"Double happiness is coming, is there it?" Gao Han continued to pretend to be stupid.

The assistants around him also felt amused, and they were all happy to see Gao Han treat, and it was best to eat him.

Of course, with Gao Han's net worth today, I'm afraid they will all be able to eat it, and they won't get in the way.

"Don't pretend!" Sergio Garcia waved his hand, "We've all heard about it, let me remind you of one more keyword, the Golden Chair Award." ”

The Golden Chair Award was founded by the Italian Football Federation in 1991 and voted by the head coaches of the Italian leagues at all levels.

And everyone knows that Italy can be described as a lot of famous and handsome, and it must be quite difficult to get it.

What's even more rare is that this award basically does not take performance as the main assessment criterion, so in the past few years, there have been some managers who have won awards with outstanding coaching performance in middle and lower teams.

For example, Zaccheroni, who coached Udinese in the 90s, and Cavasin, who coached Lecce in the 2000s, beat Lazio coach Eriksen to win the award, and later Del Neri, who coached Chievo, also won the award.

Although this award does not judge heroes by success or failure, it has a characteristic, that is, since its inception in 91, except for the award awarded to the Belgian coach Raymond Gossels in 91, in the past ten years, all the winners of this award are Italian coaches.

Therefore, many people feel that the Golden Chair Award is the best local coach award in Italy.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the emergence of famous Italian coaches, and the Serie A league is basically dominated by local coaches.

Just this morning, the Milan sports newspaper published the news, and it is said that the Italian Football Federation got the exact news that the winner of the Golden Chair Award last season was Gao Han.

This will also be the first time in 16 years that the Golden Chair Award has been presented to a foreign manager.

And I heard that it was an absolute overwhelming vote, and Gao Han deserved it.

"Golden Seat Award, what kind of gold seat and silver seat, why can't I understand it?" Gao Han asked again.

"Pretend, you just keep pretending, I don't believe you didn't receive the message. Sergio García was the first to disbelieve him.

Looking at the others, they all have the expression that you had better confess and confess, and have completely lost their trust in Gao Han.

Pep Guardiola and Cantarero are even more contemptuous of you if you continue to pretend like this.

"Okay, okay, I'll confess. Gao Han spread his hands and could only accept their blackmail, "I did receive a call, yes, I got the Golden Seat Award, I'm in for a treat, okay?"

The crowd burst out laughing.

Although the Golden Chair Award is given to the head coach, it is actually an indirect affirmation of the members of the coaching staff.

This is a lot of famous Italy, and it is definitely not easy to win this award.

"Eh, let me ask you, did you vote for yourself too?" asked Sergio Garcia, who suddenly leaned in.

Gao Han's face had a solemn expression, ", do I have such thick skin?"

After a pause, he added: "Besides, I really thought that the Italian Football Federation had already excluded me. ”

This is the truth, since the outbreak of the phone-door incident, many people in the outside world have rumored that Gao Han is very unpopular within the Italian Football Association, and even many senior members of the Football Association have accused him of acting recklessly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gao Han's voice fell, Sergio Garcia immediately laughed, "Then it's not surprising, I heard that Prandelli got a vote, and everyone else is said to have voted for you, including Ancelotti." ”

Ann Fatty?

Gao Han was really a little surprised, because he really didn't have the slightest contact with Ancelotti, and Ancelotti had a headache when he saw him, even if they met in the game, the two were basically polite and polite greetings.

Now it seems that Ann's character is still good.

As for Gao Han's vote for Prandelli, it is indeed because he feels that the Italian coach has been quite good in Fiorentina, and he can bring the Purple Lilies to the same level as last season, which is also commendable.

You know, Fiorentina don't really have a first-line star who can get their hands on it.

"By the way, has there been a result from the Champions League knockout draw?" asked Guardiola with concern.

Today is the day of the draw for the Champions League round of 16 knockout round, the draw will be held in Nyon, Switzerland, Inter Milan arranged for Blanca to go to the scene, and Gao Han stayed in the team to prepare for the game.

"I don't know. Gao Han smiled bitterly, "I hope I can have good luck." ”

Looking at the eight group rankings, the first against the second, coupled with the principle of avoiding Roma and Bayern Munich, the teams that Inter Milan really could draw include Porto, Celtic, PSV Eindhoven, Lille, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Among these teams, Barcelona is the strongest, Real Madrid is close behind, and as for the other teams, it is basically difficult to pose a threat to Inter Milan.

"It was really a gutter overturn, who would have thought that Barcelona would lose to Chelsea in the group stage, and Capello, who has always been steady, even lost to Lyon. Guardiola shook his head and sighed with embarrassment.

Even now, he still has a very deep affection for Barcelona.

"If you're lucky, let's take a little bit easier with a weaker team. Cantarero laughed.

Everyone also felt that it made sense, and they all laughed and agreed.

At this moment, Gao Han's mobile phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID was Blanca.

"Here we are. Gao Han raised his finger and leaned to his ear, "Hey, Marco, is there a result?"

Everyone also looked at Gao Han expectantly, waiting for the mystery to be revealed.

But soon, they noticed that Gao Han's face had become a little heavier, and they all suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

"Well, okay, I got it, I'll talk about it when I come back. ”

After hanging up the phone, Gao Han looked at the assistants in front of him, shook his head with a wry smile, "Everyone, we still have to be busy, it's Real Madrid." ”

"Real Madrid?" the crowd lost their voices.

Although it avoided the strongest Barcelona, it was definitely not a good signing.

"Are they deliberately trying to create a strong dialogue?" said Sergio García indignantly.

How unlucky is it to meet Bayern Munich in the group stage and Real Madrid in the knockout round?

Needless to say, the next quarterfinals and semifinals will definitely be basically strong teams, and they can't be weak.

On the contrary, it was Gao Han, after revealing the mystery, the whole person also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a slight smile: "Real Madrid is nothing, we haven't celebrated at the Bernabeu for a long time, right?"

When everyone heard him say such a confident word, they couldn't help but laugh too.

The draw was indeed unlucky, but Inter Milan had the strength and confidence to beat their opponents.

What's more, Real Madrid has failed to break through from the round of 16 in the past two seasons, falling at the feet of Juventus and Lyon respectively.

So, the sign is good.

…………

…………

As soon as the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League was announced, the venue at UEFA headquarters in Nyon was boiling.

As soon as the draw ceremony ended, according to the usual practice, representatives of the major clubs went outside to be interviewed by media reporters.

Inter's technical director said the draw was not particularly lucky.

"Real Madrid are one of the best teams in European football, they have superstars like Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul and David Beckham, Fabio Capello is also a very good manager and he is very familiar with Serie A, he is very familiar with Inter Milan, so we have to be careful. ”

"However, I also want to emphasise that we are the only team in the Champions League group stage to have a winning record, we will not be afraid to draw any opponents, and I believe that as long as the team continues to maintain the form of the group stage, we can continue to qualify." ”

But as soon as Blanca's words fell, Real Madrid general manager Mijatovic, who was interviewed next to him, laughed and praised: "We are very satisfied with the result of this draw, the result is very good." ”

"Long before I came to Switzerland, manager Fabio Capello told me that it doesn't matter who teams in Serie A and Bundesliga we meet except for the Premier League teams, and we were lucky to draw Inter Milan. ”

Mijatovic's triumphant look when answering questions made Blanca frown from the sidelines.

Is there a minimum of mutual respect?

"Mr. Mijatovic, Inter Milan won on all fronts last season and this season as well. A reporter on the other side kindly reminded.

'Yes, I know, they're a very strong team, very competitive, but I still think we can get to the last eight because we all know that Serie A has been down very quickly since the phonegate incident, there is a lot of player attrition and more importantly, we are not afraid of teams like Inter. ”

"But you should know that when Gao Han coached Atletico Madrid in the past, he also had a very good record against Real Madrid. ”

"Yes, but that's all in the past, isn't it?" Mijatovic asked with a smile.

'In the past, we were superstitious about the superstar strategy, which led to problems with the team's team strategy and even mistakes in the selection of the manager, but we have adjusted well in the last six months, we have brought in big names and quality players such as Fabio Capello and Emerson, and Samuel has been getting better and better in central defence. ”

"In particular, we're good at playing at home, so I guess we're going to finish two legs at the Bernabeu. ”

According to the Champions League last-16 knockout stage, the second-placed team will play home and away, and the first leg between the two sides should be played at the Bernabeu.

Blanca listened a little dumbfounded, and I believe that many media reporters are like him, and they are seriously skeptical, where does Mijatovic's confidence come from?

Where did he get the confidence to dare to say such a thing?

But if you think about it, it's not surprising.

At least from Mijatovic's words, it can be heard that he and the current Real Madrid management are desperately trying to dissociate themselves from the management dominated by Florentino in the past, so as soon as he and Calderon came to power, they were the first to take the superstar strategy.

Now I say that, more or less for this purpose.

After all, the lack of performance in Europe was also one of the triggers for Florentino's downfall.

Therefore, when the reporter asked Blanca about his response to Mijatovic's words, the technical director of Inter Milan shook his head with a smile and sighed, "What a mysterious confidence!"
