Chapter 667: Could It Be That Am I Doing Something Wrong?
"Champions League, we're back!"
Gao Han's bold words immediately became the front page headlines of the world's major media. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past so many years of the history of the Champions League, there has never been a team or manager who dares to directly provoke so many teams like this, but Gao Han's words have made all teams in European football tremble.
Yes, after a year's absence, Gao Han finally brought Bayern Munich back to the Champions League.
He is still the invincible him.
Bayern Munich has become another invincible team in his hands.
His words not only ignited the passion of Bayern Munich fans, but also made the entire German football world excited.
For many years, the Bundesliga has been gradually forgotten and even ignored, completely reduced to the fourth or even fifth league in Europe, and the attention may not even be as good as that of the French league.
But in the minds of every Bundesliga fan, there is still a memory of the period from the end of the nineties to the beginning of this century, the Bundesliga team in European football, when the Bundesliga powerhouse can be described as invincible.
But all this, with the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group, completely disappeared.
Since 2002, when the pharmaceutical company Bayer Leverkusen reached the Champions League final only to lose to Real Madrid superstar Zinedine Zinedine Zidane, no team in the Bundesliga has reached the last four of the Champions League in six years.
Although many Bundesliga fans have a lot of opinions about Bayern Munich, they have to admit that the Bundesliga giants do represent the image of the Bundesliga in the Champions League and are the most competitive team in the Bundesliga in Europe in the past few years.
A year ago, Bayern Munich unexpectedly lost qualification for the Champions League, and as a result, last season's Bundesliga team was completely wiped out in Europe, and the only team to make it out of the group was Schalke 04, but this team also stopped at the knockout stage of the round of 16 and could not go further.
It's not the first time that there hasn't been a Bundesliga team in the quarter-finals, but this time it was clearly even worse.
Therefore, when Gao Han shouted "Champions League, we are back!" in the UEFA interview, the entire German football world was excited, as if hearing the voice from the turn of the century, the heyday of the Bundesliga.
Everyone also believes that Gao Han will be able to lead Bayern Munich back to the top of the past, and the Bundesliga giants will become a lingering nightmare for all Champions League giants this season.
So, the next day, many Bayern Munich and German fans who followed the team to Monaco gathered at the Grimalty Convention Center and gathered at the door, waiting for the arrival of Gao Han and Bayern Munich.
But to their surprise, it was Pep Guardiola and Barcelona players who arrived first.
As the triple winner of the Champions League last season, Barcelona has its own protagonist halo, which caused cheers from the audience as soon as it appeared, killing countless media reporters in seconds, and the gentle Guardiola has also become the focus of all media reporters.
The vast majority of media issues are inseparable from the upcoming UEFA Super Cup.
When asked by reporters whether Guardiola, as Gao Han's former favorite general and assistant, would help him defeat Gao Han, Guardiola said very sincerely that Gao Han has never been invincible, but it is difficult and difficult.
'He's got a great sense of tactics, he's always able to catch details before and during games that others overlook and use them to beat opponents, and he's the hardest working manager I've ever seen and a role model for me to follow. ”
As for the media reporters, some Spanish media broke the news that Guardiola had repeatedly asked Gao Han to learn from him, and even before the Champions League final, Gao Han also specially visited Barcelona's residence to have a long talk with Guardiola.
Pep Guardiola is very frank in affirming these rumors, saying that he has indeed been encouraged and helped by Gao Han.
"Yes, as the outside media said, the reason why I was able to coach Barcelona was because of his recommendation, and even I resisted a little at first because I didn't think I was ready, but he told me that he knew me, that I was the kind of person who was never ready, but he had a lot of confidence in me. ”
"His affirmation gave me a lot of courage and made me determined to take on the challenge, and later, every time I had a hard time, I would call him and he would give me very good advice. ”
"He was my best friend, my learning teacher, and my most feared opponent. ”
In the end, Guardiola himself couldn't help but laugh.
Obviously, this is already the highest evaluation he can give to Gao Han.
As for the upcoming game, Guardiola said that he would give it his all.
"It's like an exam, I'm a student, he's the examiner, it's time for me to hand in an answer sheet to him, and I'm confident that no matter what the result is, this competition won't affect our deep friendship. ”
Not long after Guardiola walked into the Grimalti Convention Center, Gao Han also led the Bayern Munich players to the venue, which caused a sensation that was no less than Guardiola just now.
Media reporters and fans at the scene almost broke out in a riot, forcing the security guards who maintained order to quickly strengthen their vigilance.
Gao Han walked the red carpet and was interviewed by media reporters as usual.
As for what Guardiola has achieved, he says he has not contributed at all.
'Pep is a natural success, I have no doubt about it, he has achieved unprecedented results, winning the Champions League treble in his first season in charge, which is an amazing result and I am very proud of him. ”
As for the things rumored by the media, Gao Han said that they were all imaginary, and the reason why he appeared at Barcelona's residence before the final was to visit the players and old friends.
'I also went to Manchester United's premises and visited Ferguson and the players and they lost. Gao Han argued.
'I would say Pep Guardiola is a very, very good manager with his ability to think for himself, and if I had to judge, I think he was one of the two best managers in Europe last season.
"The other one? no, no, no, of course it's not me, it's Ferguson of Manchester United. Gao Han laughed.
After finally getting rid of the media reporters, Gao Han finally entered the Grimaldi Convention Center, and the whole person immediately breathed a sigh of relief, dealing with those media was even more tiring than playing a game.
But the atmosphere in the lobby of the conference center is obviously not much better than outside, especially after Gao Han appeared, everyone turned their eyes on him, and many people were on guard.
"What's wrong? Am I doing something wrong?" said Gao Han with an innocent look on his face.
Players such as Pep Guardiola and Paul Futre, who were standing next to him, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also invited to the award ceremony, almost went berserk.
Isn't this man too disagreeable?
Could it be that he doesn't know what he has done himself?
"I'll tell you, boss, just ask in front of us, we respect you and will put up with you, but if you go outside and ask, you will be beaten. Cristiano Ronaldo burst out laughing.
Everyone around them also laughed and nodded their heads, which is indeed the case.
Is it too pretentious?
He was still talking about it in the media before, does he still expect those giant teams to be kind to him?
"To be honest, I'm a little skeptical that I should keep my distance from you. Pep Guardiola laughed.
Gao Han is very helpless, is he destined to be a lone star?
"To tell you the truth, they are certainly not afraid of you now, but they are looking at you and praying in their hearts, just like me, don't win this ......" Paul Futrey even made a direct joke about the high cold.
And although he didn't finish his words, everyone knew that the last sentence was definitely not a good word.
Gao Han himself thought it was funny, it seemed that what he said in the interview yesterday made them uneasy.
However, he didn't care about it.
The reason why he has such a high profile in the media is to boost the morale of the team.
Bayern Munich, although they have performed well in the Bundesliga over the years, have not had convincing results in Europe, and they lack self-confidence somewhat, even in German football as a whole.
The key to shame and courage is not to be ashamed, but to be brave.
Since it didn't matter, Gao Han didn't pay attention to it.
After talking to Paul Futre, Gao Han asked with concern about the transfer of Atletico Madrid.
Just yesterday, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea officially announced that the Russian tsar officially joined the Blues Chelsea for 40 million euros, which also made the Russian the king of the summer transfer market.
From Paul Futre, Gao Han learned that after selling Arshavin, Atletico Madrid will make every effort to retain the two superstars of Villa and Torres to ensure the team's offensive firepower in the frontcourt.
Both players have received offers from Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League, respectively.
Not only that, but before Arshavin moved to Chelsea, he even almost went to Manchester City at one point, and the latter also offered the same price and even offered the player a higher salary.
"Double the annual salary?" Gao Han was a little surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect Manchester City to be so generous.
You must know that players are different from head coaches, a team has dozens of players, but only one head coach, so when the team pays players, they often have to carefully consider the salary structure of the team.
"After the Abu Dhabi consortium bought Manchester City, it has a lot of money, and it is not bad for money. Paul Futrey has been in contact with Manchester City and has clearly been impressed by the city's big deal.
'Actually, it's not just Arshavin, they're also competing with Chelsea for Robinho. ”
"Oh?" Gao Han became interested.
Robinho has been hooking up with Chelsea for a long time after falling out with Real Madrid's management, and his agent Mendes has not heard much about it lately, and it seems that he has been busy with operations.
If you can sell Robinho for a higher price, then Mendes will really make a profit.
"I've also heard that it is said that Manchester City have offered Robinho a high price of 45 million euros, and Chelsea is also determined to win Robinho, and Rijkaard's plan is the devil's wings of Robinho and Arshavin, so ......"
Paul Futrey said this, smiling ambiguously at the high cold, as if to say, you know.
Of course, Gao Han understands that Mendes wants the snipe to compete with the fisherman for profit.
However, with the situation of the Manchester City team, I'm afraid it's really not funny, last season only finished ninth in the league, and there is no qualification for European competitions, who wants to go?
At this time, the staff of the organizer came out to inform the guests of the admission.
Gao Han also cleaned up his mood, greeted Guardiola and the players, and walked to the venue on the second floor.
He is now more looking forward to seeing who will be so unlucky to draw him and his Bayern Munich.
