Chapter 315: The stage for reaching the top
When Gao Bo came to Madrid, in fact, the whereabouts of Gao Bo and Mendes were discovered by the media.
However, the impact was not too great at the time, but there was speculation in the media that perhaps Gao Bo would become the coach of Getafe or Rayo Vallecano, both of which are also teams from the Madrid region, but no one believed such reports.
It's better to coach these two teams than to coach a relegation team in the Premier League.
After Gao Bo signed a contract with Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid quickly announced the news on the official website!
"Atlético de Madrid and Mr. Gao Bo have reached an agreement that Mr. Gao Bo will coach Atletico Madrid next season and lead the team to new glory!"
Atletico Madrid's official website is very official, and the picture is also the photo of Gao Bo and Cerezo holding the Atletico Madrid jersey together.
Gao Bo smiled brightly, and Cerezo also smiled sweetly.
In addition to the announcement on its official website, Atletico Madrid also invited a number of media to attend a press conference at the Calderón Stadium, which announced the signing of Atletico Madrid and Gao Bo.
Big clubs are different, when Gao Bo took over as head coach of Luton Town, there was no media anywhere else that paid much attention to this matter except the local media. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, invited a lot of big media. There were media arrivals from Spain, France, and even England.
Atletico Madrid is much more international than Luton.
And for fans, this time they are more concerned about the news of the World Cup.
The major national teams are gathering one after another, announcing the roster, going to South Africa to assemble, warming up before the World Cup, and so on.
However, Gao Bo's signing with Atletico Madrid still received concentrated media coverage.
After all, Gao Bo's popularity of winning the Europa League has not yet passed.
Still, Gao Bo's direct coaching of a team of Atletico Madrid's caliber came as a surprise to many media outlets.
“...... It is to be expected that Gao Bo will enter the top flight this season, but most of our previous speculations are about some smaller clubs, and directly coaching a big club like Atletico Madrid is undoubtedly a challenge for Gao Bo. Many coaches can easily navigate small clubs, but there is a big difference between coaching a big club and coaching a small club, and it will be interesting to see what Gao Bo can achieve next season at Atletico Madrid. Sky Sports said in a report.
The big newspapers in Spain have mixed reviews about Atletico Madrid's choice of Gobo to coach the team.
"As" newspaper reported that Gao Bo has too little coaching experience, and Atletico Madrid's choice of Gao Bo is undoubtedly a rather bold gamble and risk.
Marca also took the same view, arguing in their report on Gobo's coaching resume: "Admittedly, leading Luton to the Europa League is a great achievement, but does that mean Gobo can manage a team like Atletico Madrid directly? Let's take a look before we draw conclusions! ”
Two of the biggest sports newspapers in the Madrid area are very cautious about the prospect of Gao Bo taking charge of Atletico Madrid.
In China, Gao Bo becoming the head coach of Atletico Madrid has completely overshadowed the news of the World Cup and has become a verbal talk among fans and media!
After all, the Chinese team did not reach the World Cup, so this is normal. Compared with the news of other countries, the news of your own country is more eye-catching for fans.
Chinese coach European giants!
Gao Bo can be said to have set a precedent!
The domestic media was jubilant, and some even imagined that after Gao Bo's success in coaching Atletico Madrid, this may find another way for the domestic head coach.
"It's not just the players who go out of Chinese football, it's also the coaches! The Football Association should send more young coaches to Europe, learn from Europe's advanced experience and bring them back to China, rather than sending players to Europe, training more coaches, which may be more meaningful for the promotion of Chinese football. ”
Of course, not all domestic media are optimistic about Gao Bo.
Some media think that Gao Bo is too young, you know, the dressing room of the Spanish team is very complicated.
And in the midst of such a noise, the press conference of Gao Bo's signing of Atletico Madrid also came soon.
Led by the club's president, Cerezo, and the club's general manager, Gil Marin, Gobo pushed open the doors of the Calderón press center.
From the moment he walked through the door, the flashing lights kept flashing.
Gao Bo walked in and saw the dense crowd of reporters below.
Spanish, British. Even he saw journalists from the domestic media.
Compared to the cold spell he had when he joined Luton Town, he is now considered to be famous all over the world.
The solicitation he has obtained in Luton Town, he is no longer a nobody and a newcomer in the coaching industry.
Atletico Madrid is a bigger stage, where you will be noticed by the media all over the world, where people will look at you every day with a magnifying glass, any mistakes will be infinitely magnified, and any failure will turn into a tsunami of criticism.
These people here can lift you up to heaven overnight, or they can send you to hell in an instant!
The journalists' eyes burned, like sharks smelling blood.
....
"I'm very happy to be the manager of Atletico Madrid, one of the biggest teams in Spain, and my mission here is to bring Atletico Madrid where it belongs!"
Gao Bo leaned on his chair and said to the reporters at the scene.
It's just a routine press conference, but these reporters aren't easy to mess with.
Immediately, a reporter stood up and asked questions.
"Mr. Gao Bo, now the media thinks that you have never coached a top league team, let alone a big team like Atletico Madrid, you lack control over the giants, what do you think about this!"
The reporters of the newspaper "As" were so aggressive as soon as they came up.
Gao Bo's face was calm.
"I'm the European champion, and that says it all!"
The reporters looked at each other, and it seemed that the new manager of Atletico Madrid was not a good person to deal with.
The press conference did not last long, and after Gao Bo selectively answered questions from several reporters, the press conference ended.
After the press conference, Gao Bo was led by the staff to the team's home stadium, Calderón Stadium.
First, I visited the team's honor room, and then came to the stadium.
Gao Bo stepped onto the turf, walked to the center of the court, and looked around Calderon.
Only the main grandstand has a canopy, while the surrounding grandstand is unroofed to protect it from the elements.
The red and white seats are the same color as the team's jerseys.
This is the home of the Sheets and is a well-known stadium throughout Europe.
Gao Bo seemed to be able to hear the cheers and singing of the fans of the Sheets Army here.
He narrowed his eyes, even wanting to spread his arms a little.
It's a stage.
A stage that allowed him to reach the top!!
Gao Bo wants to conquer this place and ..... from here Conquer La Liga!
And then..... Conquer Europe!
