Chapter 483: It turns out that I still have so many titles

In the first training session after the Super Cup, Gao Bo gathered the players to stand together before the training.

Everybody knows the manager has something to say.

"After the Super Cup, I said we were going to defend the league title!!" Gao Bo said with a smile.

The players didn't speak, they knew the manager's temper, and when he had a smile like that, it was better not to interrupt him.

"I said that at the celebration after our championship last season, and now that I say it again, you don't think I'm joking, right?"

It is even more unlikely that the players will refute it at this time, even if there are players who thought their manager was joking, they can't say at this time - where is there such an honest person.

"Champions League!! Yes, I know many of you can't wait to play in the Champions League! ”

"To be honest, so do I!" The smile on Gao Bo's face faded, "But.... I want to warn you! The league is fundamental!! Before we can win in the Champions League, we need to be competitive in the league! If someone comes in the Champions League this season and doesn't work hard in the league, that kind of player won't get any chances!! ”

Gao Bo said in a stern tone.

Some of the Atletico Madrid players couldn't help but shrink their necks.

Some of Atletico Madrid's current players, after winning the league title last season without defeat, may have lost their appetite for league titles, with most eyes set on the more appealing Champions League.

So Gao Bo must give the players a preventive shot first.

"Now a lot of people think it's impossible for us to defend the title, and they list a lot of reasons, and I've seen them all. I have to admit that the reasons they say seem to make sense, and we face all sorts of difficulties. We're going to have a lot more knockdown in the next league than we did last season and I want you to be mentally prepared. But it is precisely because the defending league title is difficult in one way or another that it is more worthy of us to defend the title! ”

Gao Bo hugged his waist, and then leaned forward slightly.

"We were unbeaten in 38 league games last season and we even broke a record that had been in the dust for almost 80 years! What is the point of defending the title in the league? ”

"We beat Real Madrid and Barcelona in a row last season, so why should they defend their title and we can't?"

"Guys, the defending league champions, it's not as scary as they say, we're going to show them, what Atletico Madrid does best, is to create miracles!! Because we have such strength! ”

After Gao Bo finished speaking, he waved his hand, and then the team's training began.

Judging from the training, Gao Bo's words are obviously effective, and the players are more serious and active in training than usual.

Defending league champions... It's a very challenging task.

......

The first league game takes place on August 29, a week to go.

This week is not just training for Gao Bo.

On 25 August, Gobo and the team's general manager, Gil Marin, went to the Palace of Parliament in the Place des Regales in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

At 17:45 CET on the same day, the draw for the 2011-12 UEFA Champions League group stage and the UEFA Awards ceremony will take place here!

This is not the first time Gao Bo has participated in such a ceremony.

The last time it was in the Europa League was when he went to Monaco with the owners of Luton.

However, the Europa League is obviously not as much attention as the Champions League!

Just a lottery ceremony, in China, CCTV will broadcast the whole process.

And the last time Gao Bo went to participate in the Europa League draw, no one paid attention to him at that time, he was just the head coach of an inconspicuous small team, and the media at that time also believed that this team from England would probably lose six consecutive defeats in the group stage and then go out, who would pay attention to them.

But now it was different, from the moment they appeared at the venue, the reporters waiting outside the venue swarmed and surrounded him.

This is the first time that a manager with an eastern face has appeared in the Champions League, so it's no wonder the media is paying so much attention.

The players of the Eastern face are not uncommon, but as an Oriental, a Chinese, being able to lead the team to participate in the Champions League as a head coach means something completely different.

As a player, you can have a hundred flowers and a hundred schools of thought, so you can see whites, blacks, yellows, and browns on the football field. Each race has its own advantages.

But surely you don't see many other managers in mainstream European football, right?

In European football, it's basically the world of white managers.

Black managers are rarely seen, and other races are completely extinct.

In fact, in the mainstream Western world, which is dominated by white people, most of the popular sports are dominated by white head coaches, not only in football, but also in basketball and rugby.

People of other colors can work as physical coaches, tactical coaches, and technical coaches in the team...... All kinds of coaches, but you just can't be a head coach.

It's a very invisible form of discrimination.

......

At the award ceremony, Gao Bo also met his old acquaintance Duan Xuan.

When the two met in Monaco, there was a feeling of seeing a fellow countryman.

And Gao Bo also readily agreed to Duan Xuan's temporary interview request.

"As the first Asian and Chinese to coach in Europe's top five leagues, the first non-white manager to win the Europa League, the third non-white manager to win the top five leagues, and now the first Chinese manager to lead the team to the Champions League to participate in the draw for the Champions League, do you have any prospects for this season's Champions League?"

Gao Bo looked at Duan Xuan in a daze.

The first Asian and Chinese to coach in Europe's top five leagues?

The first non-white manager to win the Europa League?

The third non-white head coach to win the top five leagues?

What the hell are these?

Duan Xuan obviously saw Gao Bo's reaction as well, and he scratched his head a little embarrassed.

During the World Cup, Duan Xuan obviously knew something about Gao Bo.

The senior director in front of him grew up in an orphanage, and the only obstacle in China was the old couple Chen who retired in Meizhou to raise their lives.

Therefore, for many things in China, Gao Bo, who has been floating overseas for almost ten years, is not too clear.

To be honest, these names are on the lips of the domestic media every day, and I don't know where they found the information.

"Haha, these names are very popular in China."

Duan Xuan said with a smile.

Gao Bo also laughed.

Although he rarely returned to China, he still knew the character of the Chinese people.

But these names reminded him of the name of a character in an American drama.

I am Daenerys I Targaryen, the Stormborn, the Unburner, Queen Meereen, Queen of the Andals, the Royna, and the Ancestors, Carrisy of the Sea of Grass, the Liberator of Slaves, and the Mother of the Dragons......

As soon as this one appeared, there was a series of newspaper names.

Duan Xuan's question just now made him think of this for the first time, so Gao Bo laughed.

"I didn't expect me to have so many titles... It's a pleasure to be honored. ”

Gao Bo said with a smile.
