"Hello!"

While Raul and Rakitic, who were far away in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, were discussing the cold, Gao Han sneezed heavily at the Chinatown training base south of Madrid, and he caught a cold.

With the promotion of the new stadium project in Chinatown, there are too many things to do in the high cold, and the commute between Manchester and Madrid is even more frequent, and sometimes even in Manchester during the day, returning to Madrid at night, and flying back the next morning.

He was like a trapeze artist during this time, but luckily the team had old partners such as Brian Kidd and Sergio Garcia, who all knew Gao Han and knew what Gao Han wanted, so everything went well for Manchester City.

After playing Real Madrid's Champions League group stage, Manchester City began to enter the winter break fitness adjustment period, beating West Ham United 3-1 away and Everton 2-1 at home.

But everyone can see that this is Gao Han's initiative to prepare for the Christmas schedule.

After playing the 18th round of the Premier League on the 18th, the team ushered in an eight-day window, and the next game will not be until December 26.

Therefore, after organizing the Christmas dinner, Gao Han decided to take a two-day holiday, so that the whole team could accompany his family in advance, and he also took this opportunity to return to Madrid again to deal with some things.

During this period of Manchester City's rapid development, Chinatown's performance during this period was relatively stable.

After a 1-1 draw with Valencia in the 12th round, China City beat Zaragoza 3-0 away and then beat Sevilla 1-0 at home to make it two wins in a row.

However, in the 15th round, the team played away to Getafe and staged a southern derby in Madrid, only to lose 0-1 in Chinatown away and failed to win against Getafe.

However, a week later, China City returned to host Real Mallorca and eventually beat Real Mallorca 3-1 thanks to Eden Hazard's pass and shot, goals from Michu and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Christmas began with a victory.

After 16 rounds, China City is third in the La Liga standings with 36 points, behind Barcelona with 43 points, and Real Madrid with 41 points, and the Spanish Super League duo are still the strongest contenders for the La Liga title this season.

After Chinatown, Valencia is on 28 points and Atletico Madrid is fifth with 27 points.

In the scorer list, although Michu failed to continue the amazing goal momentum before the season, he also scored frequently, closely following Messi with 14 goals, and the Barcelona superstar led the La Liga scorer list with 17 goals in 16 rounds.

This time, Gao Han returned to Madrid to re-discuss and study the use of Michu in the second half with Pochettino and Cantarero, especially when other league competitors began to increase the defensive intensity of Michu, if Michu's technical and tactical characteristics were better played to ensure Chinatown's scoring ability.

…………

…………

"I've never believed in the so-called rookie wall or anything like that. ”

When talking about the evaluation of Mi Chu's performance by many media, Gao Han made no secret of his disdain.

'Every player's form will fluctuate, that's for sure, Michu has scored 14 goals in 16 rounds so far, which is not inefficient, and the most goalscorers in other La Liga leagues have only scored 11 goals, and we can't ask Michu of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to the same standard, it's not fair to him. ”

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are recognized as the two superstars of the time, with super scoring ability, while Michu is just a midfielder brought in by Chinatown for a million euros, and a very alternative scorer has only exploded after the transformation.

The reason why he is different is that he can be at the front and rely on his individual ability to score goals, but he can also cooperate with other team-mates, he has excellent ball control skills at his feet, and he has many exquisite dribbles in the box, but at the same time he also has excellent aerial superiority and tactical effect.

But the coaches of the professional league are not dry meals, and Michu was able to rely on the freshness to catch them off guard at the beginning, but once he entered the field of vision of their key defense, the defensive pressure on Michu will be greater than before.

That's why Michu's goal efficiency has declined, and he has even been ineffective in many games.

'Now Michu has adapted to the task of attacking the city up front, and as the arrowhead of the team, he can do the job very well, but I think in the second half of the winter break, the opponent will be more and more tightly marked against him, and the pressure on him will increase, and he will have to learn to adapt to playing under the opponent's strict defense. ”

Everyone also understood what Gao Han meant.

From the beginning of the season, Michu's blockbuster debut, many teams did not pay enough attention to him, which caused Michu's eye-catching performance, but later with the gradual attention of other teams, Michu's performance declined.

It's the winter break, and every team will use this time to adjust and study, and every team will likely defend against Michu as the number one superstar when they encounter Chinatown in the future.

"He's got a very good header and a lot of running awareness, so I think when we don't have a good defence and can't get an effective control in the 30-metre area, Michu should drop back aggressively, even deeper. ”

Gao Han said as he pulled back the chess pieces representing Michu on the tactical board.

'In this situation, we could have played more directly, such as Jose Mourinho's use of Didier Drogba when he was at Chelsea, using Michu as a tactical fulcrum to attack, Eden Hazard on the left to possess the ball, Aubameyang on the right to impact, James Rodriguez to pass lethal balls and our wings .......

'As long as we can use Michu to pull the opposition defence out, especially deeper, then we will have more space in attack, and don't forget, the midfielders and midfielders are areas that Michu is very familiar with, and we should regain his sense of this area. ”

After listening to Gao Han's words, everyone had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Especially Pochettino, he really admires Gao Han's ability in offensive organization, and the problem he originally thought was very tricky, but it was easily solved in Gao Han's hands.

Of course, this also proves that Gao Han did do a lot of preparation before.

"Speaking of James Rodriguez, I've got a problem here. Cantarero said with a frown.

"What's the trouble?" everyone looked at the technical director.

"We have just received an official fax from the Colombian Football Federation who want us to allow James Rodríguez to return to South America in mid-January for the U20 South American Youth Championship. ”

"South American Junior Championships?" Gao Han frowned, of course he knew about these events.

Each continent has its own national team youth tournament, and youth tournaments like South America often select several teams to represent their continent at the World Youth Championships.

"If I'm not mistaken, this year seems like a big year in South America. ”

Gao Han's words immediately raised everyone's attention.

In order to stagger the World Cup and the European Cup, continents such as South America and Africa often schedule their continental cups in odd-numbered years, and 2011 should be the Copa America in South America.

"Yes, and the Colombian Football Federation also asked in the fax that we would be able to support their work. ”

"What job?" Pochettino asked with concern.

"The U20 South American Youth Championship, which starts in mid-January, lasts for a month, but from June, Colombia's U20s will compete in the Toulon Cup in France, while the Copa America in Argentina at the beginning of July and the World Youth Championship at the beginning of August. ”

"World Junior Championships?" Gao Han wondered, "What kind of World Youth Championships does Colombia play?"

"You forgot, right?" Cantarero reminded with a wry smile, "The host of this year's World Youth Championships is Colombia, which is why they will form a team to play the Toulon Cup in advance, and the head coach of the Colombian national team, Eduardo Laura, also called us personally to ask us to let James Rodriguez play in the national team." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly, this schedule is dense enough.

Strictly speaking, Chinatown really can't refuse, because FIFA has a hard and fast rule on this, with the performance of James Rodriguez in Chinatown and La Liga this season, he must be the core of the Colombian national team at both levels, if Chinatown refuses to let go, maybe they will sue FIFA.

After all, this year's World Youth Championships will be held in Colombia, and it must be the attention of the whole country, and they are counting on the results.

As for the players, playing for the country is also an opportunity that all South American players will not let go easily.

However, as a result, James Rodriguez is likely to miss the mid-January and mid-February races, as well as all of this summer's training camps.

"What do you think about that?" Gao Han looked at Pochettino.

It's not just a sign of respect for the manager, it's also asking for Pochettino's opinion.

Pochettino smiled wryly and replied, "We don't seem to have a way to refuse, right?"

There has been a long history of competition between national teams and clubs, and Chinatown is not the one that suffers the most.

In fact, the issue has been on the table of the club's management since the team's excellent performance.

Not to mention the rest, let's just talk about Spain, De Gea, Carvajal, Alba, Isco, Koke, Ilya Ramendi, Igor Martinez, Morata and Jesus, Chinatown has a large number of Spanish internationals at all levels, and they are not lost to Real Madrid and Barcelona.

This is a recognition of the strength of Chinatown's youth training, and it is also the reason why many young Spanish players are eager to Chinatown, and everyone wants to enter Chinatown, the purpose is to be able to become a talent and be selected for the national team at all levels.

In addition, people like Otamendi, Hazard, Alderweireld and others have also been selected for the national team, among which Otamendi also played for Argentina in the World Cup, which made Chinatown also begin to be affected by the national team competition.

That's a good thing, but it's not a good thing either.

"By the way, how is Rakitic's transfer going?" Gao Han suddenly asked with concern.

If Schneiderlin moves to Atletico Madrid and James Rodriguez goes to the national team, then from mid-January to mid-February, Chinatown will have a serious shortage of midfielders, which is something that Gao Han has to guard.

'We've been in contact with him and his agent, we're just getting started, and I'm going to go to Gelsenkirchen in person in the next few days and try to get Schalke Zero Four before Christmas if I can convince him. Cantarero replied.

Gao Han nodded with a serious face and said, "Then you must be fast, if necessary, you call me." ”

"Well, don't worry, there shouldn't be any need to send you out. Cantarero smiled confidently.

He is also now a revered god in European football, and he is confident that he will be able to take on Rakitic.

"Also, Mauricio, speed up the development of Isco and Coke, we will need them very much in the future. Gao Han admonished.

Pochettino nodded, "I understand." ”
