Chapter 377: Fighting for Righteousness
After the morning training session and lunch in the Harrington cafeteria, the players went back to their dormitories to rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because the club has begun to propose the construction of a new training base, so Harrington has not been renovated, but Gao Han attaches great importance to the rest of the players, although the training building has not been renovated, but the beds and facilities in the players' dormitories have been completely renewed, with only one purpose, to make the players comfortable.
Except for head coach Gao Han, all coaching staff and players' dormitories are two-person rooms and are arranged by themselves.
Eto'o's original roommate was Makelele, whom they had known since their time at Real Madrid, and both were players of African descent, one from Cameroon and the other from Congo, who happened to be neighbours.
Unexpectedly, after the first round of the league, the head coach intervened in the arrangement of the players' dormitories, and directly transferred Eto'o to a dormitory with Ibrahimovic, and asked no one to change with them, which made the two who were already unpleasant to each other could only stare in the dormitory at noon every day.
Fortunately, gradually, each other got used to each other's presence.
The two of them are clearly distinguished, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it is not bad to get along.
But in the past week, they have gradually become a little unable to sit still.
Ever since the seventh round of the league at home to Aston Villa, manager Gao Han was furious in the dressing room and threatened to reconsider his squad, and everyone has felt threatened, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto'o bearing the brunt.
As a result, a week later, in the eighth round of the league, away to Middlesbrough, Gao Han directly arranged Gudjohnson and Robben to start, Ibrahimovic and Eto'o did not even enter the squad, replaced by Van Persie.
If there was a glimmer of hope that they were looking to save for the UEFA Cup in midweek, they were once again excluded from the squad two days earlier when they hosted Slovenian Olympia.
What's worse is that in the two games they missed, the team played quite well.
A 2-0 win over Middlesbrough saw goals from Gudjohnson and Arjen Robben.
The 3-0 win over Olimpia saw goals from Robin van Persie, Ronaldinho and Gallas.
Not only did everyone within the team feel the manager's intentions, but even the media and fans outside were responding, because Gudjohnson was able to score and Van Persie was doing well.
Isn't it a matter of course for everyone that the in-form player plays the starting line-up?
But Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto'o have become a little scared.
Because they clearly feel that the manager's patience with them is running out.
They all had no doubt that Gao Han valued them, because before introducing them, Gao Han had talked to them separately, which was why they dared to do so before, but now they had to reassess their situation.
Both were lying on the bed, both staring at the ceiling with their eyes open, and the room was silent.
"Tall, let's talk. Eto'o finally broke the silence.
It was the first time he had spoken to Ibrahimovic since moving into the dressing room.
But the Swedish center didn't give him a good temper, "What is there to talk about?"
"Okay, you keep going, don't regret it. Choked up, Eto'o got angry.
Seeing that the two were going to match each other in one or two sentences like they usually trained, but the sentence "who regrets it is the grandson" made Ibrahimovic swallow it back in his stomach.
He knew that as soon as this sentence came out, the two of them would definitely have to do it again.
"What are you talking about?" the Swedish center softened.
When Eto'o heard this, he got up directly from the bed and looked at Ibrahimovic, "The two of us can't go on like this anymore, we will only cheapen others." ”
Ibrahimovic also got up and glared at Eto'o opposite, "So what do you want?"
"I believe it, the boss must still have our place in his heart, and he is still evaluating us, but if he continues to do this, the main position will be robbed sooner or later, and when people are in prison, it will be difficult to snatch it back. ”
Eto'o's words sounded a wake-up call in Ibrahimovic's heart, and of course he understands such a simple truth.
Judging from the current situation at Chelsea, the midfielder's ability to create chances is very strong, and Gudjohnson's ability is not weak, not to mention that there is also a Van Persie who is also very optimistic about Gao Han, who really wants to be fed, and can feed more than a dozen goals in a season.
Even, if the opponent kicks the foot more and more, it is entirely possible to score more goals.
By that time, there really wasn't anything to do with them.
"Okay, agreed. Ibrahimovic nodded.
When Eto'o heard this, he immediately grinned, revealing his white teeth.
He was born in poor Africa and had a large family waiting for him to earn money to support his family, but he came to Chelsea for two reasons, one to become famous and the other to make money.
Continuing to play against Ibrahimovic is clearly not his purpose.
The Swedish centre-forward, while much better than Samuel Eto'o, is just as sensible.
"Then let's discuss it, whether it's the stadium or the training ground, the ball that should be passed, the cooperation when it should be cooperated, how to do it, whether it can score goals, how many goals can be scored, everyone depends on their ability. ”
As soon as Eto'o finished speaking, Ibrahimovic immediately nodded and applauded.
"Don't worry, as long as you can do it, I will definitely do it, and if you say it, you can rely on your ability, and don't admit it if you lose. ”
When Eto'o heard this, he sneered, "Just your footwork, can you shoot the elephant's ass from ten meters away? Don't say it's Van Basten who taught it, the one who loses him!"
"How good are you? Skinny like a monkey, you were knocked to death on the pitch every minute, you have been playing in La Liga for so many years, with your body, don't expect to mix well in La Liga. Ibrahimovic retorted.
"Hmph, the brute bull is just stumbling with others, I'm a smart person, unlike you, it's like a circus, and you do those fancy actions all day long, does it make sense?"
Ibrahimovic also got angry, and wanted to fight back again, but suddenly he came to his senses again, isn't this another scold?
"Okay, it's my own business to be fancy, you don't care, in short, as long as you do your own thing and do your duty, I will let you know who is the top scorer in the team. ”
Eto'o also came up, "You too, don't hold me back. ”
The two of them were like two bulls that had been provoked, and they looked at each other in their respective beds.
After a long time, they finally calmed down again and had to start thinking about something else.
How to regain your main position?
Judging from the past period, Gudjohnsson's performance is really good, and the goal efficiency is okay.
"It's a tough game against Arsenal in the next round......
As Eto'o said this, the two men looked at each other, and both saw the longing in each other's eyes.
The clash between top and second place in the Premier League table, the battle between the upstarts and the traditional giants, this is definitely one of the most eye-catching games of the Premier League this season, and who wouldn't want to play?
"Apologies!"
"Apologies!"
The two shouted in unison.
…………
…………
"Why did the two of them come to you just now?"
As soon as Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto'o left on the front foot, the gossip of the coaching staff such as Cantarero was all heard.
In the past period, they have all followed Gao Han's arrangement, focusing on these two major thorns, but like today, the two of them came to Gao Han's office at the same time, which is the first time in the world.
"Apologies. Gao Han replied lightly, as if all this had been expected by him.
But everyone was silent, "Apologize?"
"How is this possible?"
"Apologize so soon?"
Everyone was surprised, because these two guys have strange personalities, and they can be called a pair of living treasures.
didn't expect that Gao Han really surrendered them, it was not easy.
'It's normal, they didn't come to Chelsea to sit on the bench, the initiative is in my hands, and it is only a matter of time before I apologize. Gao Han seems to know it very well.
That's why when he first chose the team, he had to be in control of the first team.
Without power, players simply can't listen to you.
"And you're going to forgive them just like that?" Cantarero asked.
Gao Han shook his head, "It's not that simple, I just told them that I would think about it seriously, and at the same time asked them to apologize in public in the locker room, as for whether to forgive them, it depends on their performance in training and games." ”
Cantarero is the one who knows the cold best, and he can hear the voice-over as soon as he listens to it.
"Playing Arsenal, you're going to start them?"
Gao Han nodded, "Although Arsenal lost in the Champions League group stage this season, the Premier League has remained unbeaten so far, and they have two most feared ones, one is striker Henry, and the other is their double back. ”
Needless to say, Thierry Henry's importance is that his goals and assists are definitely Arsenal's most important nuclear weapons.
It can even be said that with or without Thierry Henry, those are two very different Arsenals.
But if Thierry Henry is attacking, then Patrick Vieira and Gilberto Silva are the defenders.
In fact, Arsenal's backline has not been as good as it could have been this season, and there have been a number of problems with the partnership between Campbell and Toure, at least in the Champions League.
Left-back Ashley Cole is really strong, but Lauren on the right is not so consistent.
A big reason why Arsenal have made a strong impression this season is because of their double midfielders and Thierry Henry.
"If I were to say that Arsene Wenger had brought the biggest change to Arsenal, it was to bring the continent's mainstream counter-attacking style of play, especially the use of counter-attacking strikers like Thierry Henry, which is almost textbook-level, as well as Houllier's Liverpool's use of Owen. ”
"So, basically as long as you can keep an eye on Henry, Arsenal's attacking threat is cut in half. ”
Sergio Garcia agrees with Gao Han's words, "The two games that have been drawn this season, at home against Portsmouth and away against Manchester United, are basically the same. ”
'So, in this game against Arsenal, we have to play possession and be patient. ”
Gao Han waited until the assistants digested his words before continuing.
'Defensively, we need to set up a cage and put Henry in one-on-one and we can't defend him at all, while on the offensive side we need to be patient and play in the opposition formation and effectively avoid the back of Patrick Vieira and Gilberto Silva, which requires us to have a strong spot up front. ”
"Do these two things well, and we can strangle Arsenal!" Gao Han said confidently.
"In this game, we have to fight for the right name!"
