Chapter 1 Head Coach Gao Bo

On April 17, 2008, Old Trafford was buzzing.

This is Manchester United's home stadium, a sacred place in the hearts of Manchester United fans, and a theater of dreams.

Fans sat in the stands, players in training uniforms passing the ball to each other on the pitch, and the score was displayed on the big screen: Manchester United 0:1 Chelsea!

It's halftime for break!

In the away dressing room, a man about 185 centimetres tall wearing a white shirt, black suit trousers and a black tie was saying something to the players wearing Chelsea shirts.

However, this man is not Grant, who replaced Jose Mourinho as acting Chelsea coach this season, but an Oriental.

The back of Gao Bo's shirt was already soaked with sweat at this time, this was the second leg of the 2007-2008 Youth FA Cup final, Manchester United U18 home against Chelsea U18! And Gao Bo is the head coach of Chelsea Under-18s!!

"We did a good job in the first half! We continued to play like this in the second half!! ”

"Stand tighter, don't let them find space in the middle and push them to the side!!"

"The offense after the break must be fast!!"

Gao Bo writes and draws on the tactical board, while the Chelsea Under-18s nods frequently.

The situation is very favourable for Chelsea, who beat Manchester United's Under-18s 1-0 at home a week ago with a hard-nosed defensive counter-attack.

And now at Old Trafford, Chelsea took the lead again thanks to a first-half counter-attack, and they are now 2-0 on aggregate over Manchester United, and they also have an away goal!

United had to score three goals in the second half to complete the comeback!

It's fair to say that Chelsea's Under-18s are already in the driver's seat!

'Don't think we have a big advantage, it's their home stadium and you have to be focused defensively in the second half!!' Don't be afraid of them crossing from the wings, but in the middle you can't give them a chance to shoot!! Gao Bo's expression was not easy to win.

The youth team often plays differently than the senior team, the young people have a lot of emotional ups and downs, and what is shown on the pitch is that the game tends to fall into a certain kind of emotion, and the youth team often plays some big scores - this is the embodiment of the immaturity of young people.

For Gao Bo, leading Chelsea's Under-18s all the way to the final by knocking out Tottenham, Manchester City and other teams will add a lot of color to his coaching resume.

Gao Bo at this time is no longer Gao Bo a month ago, but to some extent, these two people are the same person!

Things are very complicated to say, so that Gao Bo, who has always been calm, is a little overwhelmed in his heart at this time.

The division of everything is after the end of the Gaobo college entrance examination.

Gao Bo is an orphan, and before he was carried into the orphanage, he had only a blue blanket wrapped around his body and a note with his name and date of birth: Gao Bo, born on August 30, 1981.

The life in the orphanage was naturally not good, but fortunately, Gao Bo was smart since he was a child, he went all the way to high school with excellent grades, and after the college entrance examination, he received an admission letter from the University of London.

History seems to have forked in at this moment, the previous Gao Bo stayed in China to go to university because he couldn't afford the tuition fees of the University of London and the cost of studying in the UK, and after graduation, he went all the way from a bottom employee to a middle manager in a Fortune 500 company, and when he was celebrating his promotion to a company executive, Gao Bo, who had never been drunk, was drunk on that day, and the time of that day was: May 30, 2018!

And when he woke up, he found that he had another memory of Gao Bo on his body.

Before receiving the letter from the University of London, this Gao Bo's experience was exactly the same as another Gao Bo, he was adopted by an orphanage, he went to the first grade at the age of six, went to junior high school at the age of twelve, had his first intimate contact with his right hand at the age of fourteen, and then went to high school... College Entrance Examination... Accepted into the University of London.

This is where Gao Bo's different life begins, when the orphanage director reports to the education department, followed by an interest-free loan that allows him to complete his studies at the University of London, where he majored in sports management and football business at Birkbeck College, University of London.

After graduating with a master's degree at the University of London, Gao Bo also went on to obtain a UEFA A-level coaching certificate – a certificate that many coaches in Europe's top five leagues did not get in this era.

It was because of this certificate that he was able to get a job in a big team like Chelsea.....

Fortunately, the memories of the two Gao Bo are in the same head, and the differences between the two personalities are not much, so his colleagues did not see any clues.

It took Gao Bo a week to accept the fact that he had traveled back in time from 2018 to 2008. When his mentality adjusted, he quickly entered the role - these two Gao Bo are the same person after all.

Gao Bo realised that with his own experience in this life, it was most appropriate to go in the direction of football manager, and now he has a very good starting point, and as long as he wins the FA Youth Cup with Chelsea Under-18s, then his football career can be regarded as a very beautiful start.

Gao Bo is an optimistic man, and after accepting the fact of crossing, he quickly threw himself into the job of head coach of football.

This is Gao Bo's dream job!

Gao Bo is still very satisfied with what he just said - his aura is good, his strategy is okay, and his performance this time is simply impeccable!

The two lives, especially the experience of growing from a small employee to a company executive, made up for the lack of experience of Gao Bo, who was only 27 years old at the time.

In fact, even his assistant, assistant coach Lighters, felt the maturity of his boss, the young Chinese coach was obviously immature when he first arrived at Chelsea, but he grew up very fast, and from his aura, he looked quite like a famous coach....

When the future coach Gao Bo was about to explain the details of the second half again, the door of the dressing room was slammed open! A pile of Roshan squeezed in through the crack in the door and rushed in front of Gao Bo at great speed, pointing his finger on Gao Bo's nose.

"Damn!! Why don't you let George play in this game!! ”

"I warn you!! I had to see George on the pitch in the second half!! ”

"Do you understand football, you're Asian? When did Chelsea find an Asian to be their coach...... Quack ........"

Before Roshan finished speaking, he let out a duck-like cry that was pinched by the neck.

Because Roshan was really pinched by the neck.

Gao Bo pushed Roshan down against the wall with one hand, and after his body hit the hard wall, the flesh on his body made waves like water waves.

When the waves calmed down, everyone in the locker room was stunned by the sudden change...

"Who is he?!" Gao Bo was a little annoyed, this is the locker room, the team locker room is a sacred place, how can outsiders be allowed to enter and exit casually?

"High... Takaha-kun, he's a Kent director..."The team's team doctor, Haruko Sakuragi, walked over quietly and exhaled in Takaba's ear.

Haruko Sakuragi has short ear-length hair, a round face that is common in Japanese people, and delicate facial features, if you ignore her boobs that are bulging from the bottom of her face, you might think that she is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. But in fact, Haruko Sakuragi, a master's student in sports medicine at the University of London and a Chelsea Under-18 team doctor, is now 26 years old.

Gao Bo suddenly remembered that before this game, a junior director of Chelsea had called him and asked him to arrange for a player to play, but Gao Bo obviously ignored this kind of thing going through the back door.

"I see, thank you, Haruko."

"No... You're welcome...."

Haruko blushed.

Gao Bo quietly glanced at Haruko's chest that was holding up the sportswear, and hurriedly took it back, he is Haruko's boss now, if someone else finds out about his little dirty, how will this team be brought in the future...

Gao Bo was distracted, Roshan seized the opportunity to break free from Gao Bo's hands, he gasped a few times, and roared angrily: "You are dead!" Yellow-skinned monkey!! You're dead!!! Do you know who I am!! Do you know who my dad is!! ......”

This time, however, the Chelsea director was also unfinished.

Gao Bo, who had had his back to him, turned around and pinched Kent by the neck with one hand. Then, in the stunned eyes of everyone, Gao Bo dragged the mountain of Roshan out of the locker room like a dead duck, and kicked the door shut.

"Who is George?!" Gao Bo, who was a little out of breath because he had dragged hundreds of pounds of weight, leaned against the wall and asked.

"The kid who joined the Under-18s a month ago was not in the squad for this game. Assistant coach Lotters admired Gao Bo said.

"Oh........ That's good. Gao Bo clapped his hands, even if George entered the squad in this game, he would never want to get the chance to play, and use off-the-field factors to interfere with the head coach's decision, Gao Bo is deeply disgusted about this!

Gao Bo tidied up his somewhat messy black suit, changed into clothes and smiled, turned to smile at the stunned players: "Okay boys, you guys did well in the first half, I'm proud of you......."
