Chapter 109: Impeccable Perfection
"Looks like we're going to have to adjust our plans. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
As soon as Paul Futrey returned to Calderón, he invited Hill Jr. and Cerezo over for a meeting.
As soon as the three giants met, the Portuguese said this sentence with a wry smile.
"What do you mean?" little Ciel didn't understand.
"I just talked to Gao Han in Mahada Enda. ”
Little Ciel and Cerezo also showed expressions of concern, obviously wondering what Gao Han thought.
He said that he would do his best to fight for the Copa del Rey, but in the league, he didn't want promotion. ”
Little Ciel and Cerezo looked at each other, frowning, "Then what does he mean ......"
"He wants a championship!"
"Champion?" said Little Hill was taken aback.
Even Cerezo, who is usually calm, couldn't help but be a little moved.
Atletico Madrid's current momentum has a lot to do with the last nine consecutive wins.
But there is a good saying, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety.
It is not easy to rush to the current position, the further you go, every time you climb a ranking, it is quite difficult, not only to win, but also to lose points by the opponent's mistakes.
Now the point gap between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla at the top of the table is 12 points, a full 12 points!
To concede 12 points in the remaining 12 league games is unlikely in itself.
What's more, Atletico Madrid must also win all!
It's hard to get to the top!
"But I look at him, and I'm confident!" Paul Futtre was convinced.
Of course, he believes that Gao Han's goal is to be the champion, not that Gao Han will definitely be able to do it.
These are two different things.
Little Ciel and Cerezo were silent.
They also had to admit that Gao Han's performance really shocked them all.
Two months ago, they would never have imagined that the team would be where it is today.
At that time, Gao Han was appointed, and even a bit of a broken jar, just hoping that Gao Han could steadily help the team transition and let Aragonés integrate the team next season.
But who would have thought that he would bring Atletico Madrid to this level in such a short period of time.
Ask yourself, if he keeps up the momentum he has now, who would say he can't do it?
"If he does win the title, with or without the Copa del Rey, I'm sure I'll be able to convince my dad to keep him. ”
Compared to the aging Aragonés, little Hill values the cold more.
But then Paul Futrey shook his head and said, "Michelle, you're wrong. ”
"Am I wrong?" said little Ciel.
Cerezo on the side nodded and said: "What Paul means is that if he really wins the championship, whether we keep him or not, it doesn't matter to him, anyway, some teams in La Liga and La B will take a fancy to him." ”
This suddenly made little Hill suddenly realize, but at the same time, he was quite shocked.
Professional football is very realistic and utilitarian, as long as it can win, as long as it can bring victory to the team, it doesn't matter if you let a three-year-old child be the head coach, not to mention that Gao Han is from a professional class, just a little younger.
La Liga and La B, although there is a distinction in level, but the requirements for the head coach are actually not much different.
Even, to some extent, the challenge of coaching La Liga will be greater.
Since Gao Han took over Atletico Madrid, whether it was dealing with crises, integrating the team, or major competitions, he has done a pretty good job, showing a level of coaching that does not match his age.
The more than 20 consecutive wins in the second league, the nine consecutive wins in the second league, and the final of the Copa del Rey are all quite convincing results, and they will naturally be looked at by some well-intentioned people.
If he wins the championship again, needless to say, he will definitely become famous.
When the time comes, there will definitely be no fewer olive branches extended to him, and there will even be La Liga teams inviting him.
When that time comes, it will not be a question of whether Atletico Madrid will stay in Atletico Madrid, but whether Gao Han is willing to continue to stay in Atletico Madrid!
Thinking about this layer, little Ciel couldn't help but gasp.
Fortunately, Cerezzo and Paul Futrey are sensible people, otherwise I am afraid that I would have made a mistake.
"Enrique, Paul, what should we do now?"
Paul Futrey thought for a moment, "You may not believe it, but I have played football for so many years and experienced so many managers, but Gao Han is indeed the one that shocked me the most. ”
Surprised by the younger Hill and Cerezo, they looked at the Portuguese.
Paul Futrey recounted what he had just seen in Mahadaenda and his own surprise and shock.
"He's a genius, I can't really describe it in any other adjective than that word, and the training he's conceived himself is quite exquisite, very basic and ordinary, but very useful. ”
Even now, when the Portuguese talk about it, their faces are still full of amazement and admiration.
"Many people think that it is very, very difficult for the team to make progress today, but in my opinion, it is strange that the team has not made today's progress when the team has adhered to the whole training system of the high cold for a long time!"
Little Hill and Cerezo were taken aback again.
From the time they played, the Portuguese were known for their arrogance.
But now, he has such a high opinion of Gao Han, is it just because the two of them have common interests?
Little Ciel looked at Cerezo again, "Enrique, what about you?"
"I don't know much about football, but I remember, I don't know which famous guy said that the game is a continuation of training, and I believe what Paul said, the team is where it is today, it all depends on the cold, Villa, Xavi Alonso, Marchena, Marcos Senna...... Even players such as Fernando Torres and Hugo Leal are proving it. ”
For Gao Han's vision, Xiao Hill also admires it very much.
"Although I don't communicate with Gao Han much, I can see that he is a very goal-oriented and pursuing person, and he may not have much affection for Atletico Madrid, but he has put a lot of energy and effort into this team. ”
Speaking of this, Cerezo looked at Little Hill again, smiled slightly: "Under the same conditions, we have an advantage that others do not have, and I believe that his first choice is to stay in Atletico Madrid!"
In any case, it has been difficult to cultivate stars such as Villa, Torres, Marchena, Marcos Senna and Xavi Alonso, and create half of the framework of the Sheets Army, and if he can, Gao Han will definitely not want to take the burden at this time.
Enrique Cerezo's words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head.
"And what should we do now?" asked little Hill again.
"There's no rush. Cerezo laughed.
"Not in a hurry?"
"Yes, the team is now fully preparing for the Copa del Rey and La Liga, and he certainly doesn't want to be distracted, so let's not bother him for the time being and let him focus on leading the team. ”
Little Hill couldn't help frowning, "Are we not going to do anything?"
"No, we must first convince the old man, at the very least, that we must put aside contact with Aragonés for the time being, and at the same time show our sincerity and appease the cold. ”
This time, little Hill finally understood.
"I know what to do!"

Nike Headquarters, Beaverton, Oregon, USA.
Several Nike executives walked into a four-story building with a unique shape.
Mark Parker, Co-President, Mindy Grossman, Chairman of the Global Apparel Business Unit, Thomas Clark, who is responsible for new business development, and the top management of the Football Business Unit.
The person who went out to greet them and led them through the door with a sign that said "Kitchen is heavy, no idlers are allowed to enter" was Tinker Hatfield, vice president of design at Nike.
The most famous Jordan basketball shoe is from Hatfield.
And where this classic collection was designed was on the first floor of the building they are now walking into, the innovative kitchen.
Unnoticed by anyone, the group walked into the innovation kitchen and headed straight for the conference room.
After entering, everyone sat down and the meeting began.
"I'm going to show you a set of photos first. ”
With that, Tinker Hatfield asked his assistant to show some clear photos on the big screen in the conference room.
The photo shows a strange, dark-haired, yellow-skinned Oriental.
Wearing a black training suit with red stripes, he appeared on different football fields.
It can be seen that he is engaged in football professionally.
"His name is Gao Han, he is twenty-three years old, and he is now the head coach of Atletico Madrid in Spain. ”
Hearing this, most of the people present did not react, after all, they did not know anything about European football.
But Mark Parker was taken aback and asked, "So young?"
"Yes, I heard that he took office at the end of January this year, and so far, his team has been invincible in the Spanish second division!"
But with the exception of Mark Parker, the others were not interested in any of this.
Hatfield changed a photo, which was a photo that was placed on the front page of Marca after Gao Han led the team to beat Celta Vigo 2-0.
In the photo, he is wearing the black flirtatious uniform.
"This is what one of my designers saw in the newspaper when he was traveling in Spain, you can take a look!"
As he spoke, Hatfield enlarged the photo, and enlarged it again.
"Whether it is in terms of style, material, design, color matching, etc., this set of clothes gives me a very strong feeling when worn on him, that is...... Perfect!"
"Impeccable perfection!"
In recent years, Nike has been focusing on the development of new businesses, and the apparel business is also accounting for an increasing proportion.
Therefore, sportswear design is also becoming more and more important by Nike.
And the innovative kitchen takes on the load.
The agency, which brings together some of Nike's best designers, finds inspiration from all over the world and from a variety of disciplines.
This time, they fell in love with Gao Han's training clothes that looked ordinary, but the more they looked at it, the more they felt that it was not simple.
"What do you want, Tink?" asked Mark Parker directly.
Hatfield smiled, but there was a hint of frenzy in his eyes, pointing to the picture of Gao Han on the big screen behind him.
"I wanted to see it in person, and I believe it would inspire us with new designs. ”
"No problem!" Mark Parker nodded, "Atletico Madrid's contract with Reebok has expired, and they are in contact with our football department, so you can go over with them. ”
European professional teams are somewhat superstitious.
In the mid-90s, Atletico Madrid wore a Puma jersey and won the double, only to be relegated to Reebok, which was regretted by the Atletico Madrid management.
Now that the contract has expired, the team does not plan to renew the contract with Reebok, so it is natural to look for sponsors again.
Nike also attaches great importance to Atletico Madrid, after all, they are also the third biggest club in Spain.
Naturally, Hatfield could not have an opinion on such an arrangement.
On the contrary, he is looking forward to it!
