Super Marshal

In the evening, BJ Yuyuan Villa.

The heating was blowing in the transparent study room. Gao Han was only wearing loose home clothes. He sat at the desk and watched the intelligence and information sent to him from all sides attentively. The laptop on the desk was filled with information. Playing the Chinese Super League games from the past season.

He doesn't watch every game, but pays special attention to a few players who are interested.

While looking at the materials and game videos, I would record something in the small notebook on hand from time to time.

Time passed slowly like this, and he didn't notice it until night fell.

Lin Xia opened the door gently, walked in, and helped him turn on the light in the study. It suddenly became bright. Only then did Gao Han realize that night had fallen without him realizing it.

"It's very lively outside now, there are all kinds of rumors, and the fans' reaction is also very strong." Lin Xia came over, sat down on the tatami next to Gao Han, and looked at her husband intently.

Since it was inconvenient to go out, Gao Han had all the materials he needed sent to his home. He immersed himself in game videos every day. At first he only watched the national team games, but later he even watched the Chinese Super League games. Sometimes she They all feel distressed.

If he didn't take on this burden, he could be very free and comfortable.

"Isn't the original statement already obvious?" Gao Han felt strange.

When thousands of fans went to the Football Association headquarters building to petition for him, he was really moved and personally called Deputy Director Cai. However, because there were still some problems that had not been properly handled, the Football Association still had no way to be the first. Time announced that Gao Han will take over as the head coach of the national team.

But from just a few words, Deputy Director Cai has revealed all the information that can be revealed. It can even be said that Gao Han's name is almost revealed. Isn't this obvious enough?

Lin Xia shrugged, reached out to grab Gao Han's hand, and stroked it gently, "You know, there are some things that everyone is not sure about until the last minute, especially when it comes to the National Football Association and the Football Association. Everyone is at once. Having survived repeated hopes and disappointments, how can they dare to believe it so easily?"

Gao Han can understand that Chinese fans are the most pitiful group of people.

"What about the media?" Gao Han asked with concern. He was afraid that some media would take the opportunity to sensationalize the situation and prevent chaos in the world.

But Lin Xia smiled sweetly, "Not to mention, this time the domestic media is really rare. None of them took the opportunity to lead the hype. They are basically analyzing and interpreting. They all basically believe that you will be the head coach of the national team. coach."

"I didn't expect them to be quite reliable at critical moments." Gao Han said with a smile.

"That's natural. You think, if the national football team is really finished this time and the fans are disappointed again, won't they also suffer losses?" Lin Xia asked playfully, "What's more, many of them are also fans. , They are waiting for the boat to run, and of course they also want to see you succeed in the national team."

Gao Han frowned and kept nodding.

As a head coach who has been coaching for more than ten years and has proven his ability on the top stage in Europe, he is very aware of the current environment of the national football team. After watching the games of the national team and the Chinese Super League, combined with his understanding of the past many years, he I also have a clearer understanding of the strength of the national football team.

He raised three questions to the national football team before, and they still exist, and there are even more questions now.

Today's national football team is a mess, and it's not like Gao Han has never taken over the mess, but the problem is that there is not much time, and the strength of the national football team is not enough for Gao Han to fully display his talents. In a short period of time, the national football team simply cannot implement Gao Han's requirements. After all, technical skills The gap between tactical literacy and European professional players is still quite obvious.

"Is it difficult this time?" Lin Xia doesn't know much about football, but she understands Gao Han.

It's rare to see your husband showing such a troubled look. He always looks confident and energetic.

But after listening to Lin Xia's words, Gao Han smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's definitely difficult, but it won't trouble me."

Lin Xia just liked to see Gao Han's confident look, and put her head on his lap with a sweet smile.

Gao Han quickly put away his smile, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

There really wasn't much time left for him, he had to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

The top priority right now is that the coaching staff must quickly develop a set of tactics that the national team players can understand and implement. This will be a test for Gao Han and the coaching staff. After all, they have been exposed to some of the best in the world before. For professional players, coaching the national football team is a bit difficult for them.

It's like asking a tall, strong adult to dig a hole in the ground designed for a child.

But it must be done.

As long as the team can play in an orderly manner, Gao Han is confident that he can win.

What's more, he has the assistance of the coaching system.

Just as Gao Han was thinking about it, Lin Xia was suddenly awakened by the ringing of her mobile phone. She sat up straight almost reflexively, looking gentle like a good wife and mother, which made Gao Han laugh.

Only in front of Gao Han would she show such a dependent side.

After looking at the caller ID on his phone, Gao Han smiled slightly.

"They're here!"

His team of assistants finally arrived at BJ.

…………

…………

The next morning, BJ Chinatown Training Center.

When Gao Han, accompanied by Xiang Tianming, walked into the conference room, Sergio Garcia and others all laughed.

They all knew that this was the first time Gao Han had left home in nearly half a month, and he still came here secretly today.

Everyone was excited to see their old partners meet again. The only worry was the challenge they would face next.

Coaching the Chinese national team is Gao Han's biggest adventure in history, and it is also their big adventure.

Gao Han stood at the top, silently looking at the assistants present, while Sergio Garcia and others also looked at him silently. A kind of tacit understanding floated in the air, making the first Xiao Mu, who joined the team, was filled with admiration, while Xiang Tianming was in disbelief.

"Okay, I won't say any more. Let's just follow the old rules and get to the point."

After Gao Han finished speaking, he sat down carelessly.

But Xiang Tianming was stunned for a moment, the main topic? What's the topic?

However, Sergio Garcia soon stood up, inserted a USB flash drive into the projector, and soon displayed the PPT he made on the screen, allowing him to explain his analysis to everyone present.

"I specifically went to understand the current situation of Group C where the Chinese national team is located. You can take a look. The national football team has played six rounds and is ranked third. Qatar has qualified early. Our main opponent is ranked second. of Hong Kong, China.”

When everyone heard this, the expressions on their faces were a little strange.

Hong Kong is just a city in China, but now it has become China's number one opponent in advancing from the top 40. This is really unbelievable.

Gao Han was also a little embarrassed about this, because when the result of the lottery came out, the country was full of jubilation. Everyone thought that this was the best lottery in history. It could almost be said that the national football team was guaranteed to enter the top 12, but there was no such thing. Thinking of it, it ended up like this in the end.

Obviously, all parties, including Perrin and the coaching staff, including the Football Association, and the players, were all indifferent.

"But everyone, please note that China has only played six games, one less than Hong Kong. In other words, we have two games next, while Hong Kong only has one. As long as we play in the remaining two games, If we win, with our goal difference advantage, we can basically guarantee second place in the group.”

Gao Han has also analyzed the situation of this group and agrees with Sergio Garcia's judgment.

"And the factor that is favorable to us is that the remaining two games are at home, against the Maldives and Qatar. Among them, the last game against Qatar is the most troublesome, but considering that Qatar has already qualified in advance, I think the winner is The possibility is still very high.”

"But the trouble now is that even if we secure second place in the group, we are not guaranteed to qualify, because according to the rules of the top 40, the top eight groups will directly qualify, and the four best second-placed groups will qualify. , Therefore, we have to compete with the other seven teams for second place, and this variable is huge."

Sergio Garcia then analyzed the situation of the other seven groups, focusing on the second place in the group, as well as the trend of the next two rounds, and even gave a certain probability to each team. And the pros and cons for China.

This was the first time Xiang Tianming came into contact with Gao Han's team, and he was really shocked.

Just such an assessment of the situation, what Sergio Garcia produced was far more detailed and clearer than what he had seen before, even for a layman like him. , all have a clear understanding of the situation.

Xiao Mu was not surprised by this, because he knew Sergio Garcia's style and ability.

After listening to this, Gao Han nodded lightly. He was already used to this. "Since the variables are huge and we are completely unable to control them, then we simply ignore him and concentrate on playing the remaining two games. As long as We all won, and it’s up to God whether we can qualify or not.”

When he said this, Gao Han couldn't help but feel melancholy. What he didn't like the most was handing over his destiny to others.

In his opinion, this was too cowardly.

"Sergio, next I need you to provide a piece of intelligence and material on the two opponents as soon as possible, as well as analyze their past six or seven games, and by the way, also touch on ourselves, including the players."

Sergio Garcia raised his right hand and smiled lightly. He knew what to do and had even made arrangements for it.

"Lorenzo." Gao Han looked at Buenaventura, "Our upcoming schedule is very tight. We will play two consecutive games in six days at the end of March. I have made a request to the Football Association to arrange the home games as close as possible. But I need you and your team to ensure the team's physical condition."

After a pause, Gao Han continued to add: "Of course, I will arrange a national team training session during the two weeks of national team match days in February. You have about ten days to get a good feel for the team. At the end of the day, I need you to come up with a plan as soon as possible after the training."

"Okay, no problem." Buenaventura replied without hesitation.

He and Gao Han have been old partners for many years, and they know Gao Han's requirements very well. If he can't do it, there will be no chance of sitting here, and Gao Han will be kicked out of the team long ago.

"Pedro, there are several good goalkeepers in the national team at present. I need you to take a closer look. The Chinese Super League is about to start training. If necessary, you can go to the site for inspection. The national team will arrange for Li Tie to be the team leader and he will accompany you. .”

Pedro Haro nodded to show that he understood.

"Steve, during the training camp, I want you to comprehensively assess the players' mental state. I need them to play these two games in the best mental state."

"No problem." Steve Peters said confidently. Since Chinatown had intervened in the national football team before, he had already documented this aspect and was the most confident.

"Xiao Mu."

"I'm here." Xiao Mu quickly replied. Everyone in the team had work arrangements, and he couldn't be idle.

"I need you to visit the Chinese Super League teams as soon as possible to fully understand the players' situation. We need to develop a stable set of tactics tailored for them in the shortest possible time."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Gao Han nodded, gritted his teeth, and stood up from his seat again.

"Everyone, everyone outside said that the Chinese national team is dead, but we have encountered such a situation before. I believe we can bring the national team back to life. The key is to do our best to play the remaining two games."

Everyone present nodded in unison.

"Please!" Gao Han shouted forcefully.
