Super Marshal

Reorganizing the team at its peak is undoubtedly a test for the management.

Both Gao Han and Cantarero are very experienced professionals. They know better than anyone else that if Chinatown continues to maintain its current lineup, it will be the top team in Europe in the next five years, but at a price It's also obvious.

Not only will the team be burdened with a heavy salary burden, but the talented young players in the team will also leave because they do not get opportunities, and the stars in the team will gradually lose their thirst for honors. .

After Guardiola left the team, Barcelona's trend is a lesson for Chinatown.

In this case, it is better to make a big breakthrough and promote a group of young players in the team who are around 20 years old. Combined with the core backbone of the team, I believe that Chinatown will be rebuilt within two or three years.

In this way, the team will not only receive extremely generous transfer income, but also save a large amount of salary expenses, which can make the team's finances healthier.

As for the new coach Valverde, he is a very thoughtful coach. Gao Han has had in-depth communication with him for a long time. He is very adaptable and very wise. More importantly, he promotes and cultivates newcomers. It is also obvious to all.

During his coaching period at Athletic Bilbao, young talents such as Laporte and Muniain made significant progress under his command and became the backbone of the team, which is exactly what Chinatown needs most. .

Players such as Jesus, Martial, Dembele, Mbappe, Asensio, etc. are all Gao Han's most valued players. Each one was carefully selected with a keen eye, especially the four Chinese teenagers. Gao Ren, Wang Lei, Yang Xin and Zhao Jun are all enough to become the world's first-class stars in their respective positions, even top superstars.

It was precisely because of this confidence that Gao Han dared to make the decision to reorganize.

Valverde's ability to promote young players, coupled with Cantarero's assistance, Gao Han believes that this can ensure the growth and progress of these young players to the greatest extent.

In addition to the first team, Cantarero has also brought a lot of good news to Gao Han recently.

Deco, the core midfielder during his time coaching Atletico Madrid, previously learned in the coaching training class in Chinatown through Cantarero. He will stay in Chinatown as an echelon coach, starting from the grassroots level.

Deco is Gao Han's neighbor in La Finca. He apparently saw his former teammate Marcos Senna become the coach of the Chinatown echelon after his retirement. After Xiao Mu followed Gao Han to coach the Chinese national team, he took over the coaching position of the second team and led Chinatown. The second team was promoted to the Spanish Second Division, and I felt a little itchy in my heart. I couldn't bear the loneliness and planned to leave the mountain.

Gao Han is also very optimistic about this Portuguese-Brazilian midfielder. With his intelligence and ability, he will definitely not be bad as a head coach. Moreover, he is very low-key and pragmatic. He has experienced the influence of many world-class coaches in his career. , I believe that the achievements in the future will be great.

Also unable to bear the loneliness is Real Madrid legend Raul. He previously served as the image ambassador of La Liga in North America. Florentino invited him to work in Real Madrid many times, but he politely refused. But recently But he signed up for the highest level of coaching training in Chinatown.

Obviously, he also had itchy hands and couldn't help but want to go out and do things.

His old friend Guti came out of the coaching training class in Chinatown and later went to work in the Real Madrid echelon.

In addition, veteran Xavi Alonso and Portuguese central defender Carvalho, who played for Manchester City, have both signed up for the coaching training course in Chinatown. It is obvious that they have considered transitioning into coaches after retiring, and they have also He was Gao Han's former beloved general.

Relying on Gao Han's reputation and the club's years of investment, the Chinatown Coaching Training Center has long become a prestigious golden sign in European football, with many famous players and coaches flocking to it.

In Gao Han's view, these will become the foundation for Chinatown to gain a foothold in European football in the future.

At the same time, Chinatown’s coaching training center in BJ is also cultivating talents for Chinese football. It will also cooperate with many famous domestic universities to offer many supporting courses such as management, marketing, and sports medicine.

…………

When Chinatown won the Triple Crown in Europe and became the dominant player in European football with three consecutive Champions League titles, arousing heated discussions around the world, Gao Han returned to China from Europe overnight after watching the Champions League final.

The new national team training session has finally begun.

In April, the draw results for the top 12 Asian World Cup qualifiers were announced.

Different from the top 40, the top 12 are all strong opponents. China has no way to avoid it this time. It has drawn five opponents including Iran, South Korea, Uzbekistan, Qatar and Syria. This pair has been away from the final stage of the group stage for ten years. It will definitely be a huge challenge for China in a few years.

What's even more unlucky is that China's first two opponents in the top 12 group stage are an away game against South Korea and a home game against Iran. The two games start on September 1 and September 6 respectively, and the time is also very tight. .

With the release of the top 12 schedule, the national team training in June was not able to spare much time. The Chinese Super League is in full swing, and each team's schedule is very tight, and only one week can be given.

Gao Han and the Football Association had nothing to do about this. After all, the Chinese Super League is so popular now that it is impossible to frequently make concessions for the national team's suspension. Therefore, Gao Han decided to reduce the originally planned two warm-up matches to one. The opponent was Kazakhstan, and the venue of the match was arranged. In BJ, the national team training ground.

Like the training camp in February, Gao Han still chose a training roster of 40 people this time. In addition to the main players of the national team, it also included Yin Hongbo, Xiao Zhi and several other players who performed well in the domestic league. There are young international players from the National Youth Team such as Deng Hanwen, Gao Zhunyi, and He Chao.

In addition, players such as Tang Shi, Yang Liyu, Zhang Xiuwei, Wei Shihao, Lin Liangming, and Zhang Yuning who studied abroad, as well as Gao Ren, Wang Lei, Zhao Jun, and Yang Xin who played for Chinatown were all shortlisted for this period of national team training.

No one was surprised by the 40-man training roster drawn up by Gao Han himself, because the news had come out early, and Gao Han had been traveling back and forth between domestic and European competitions in the past few months to inspect various teams. player of.

In this training camp, Gao Han is not only to further integrate the main lineup, but also to examine the team's substitute lineup and further strengthen the thickness of the national team's bench. Even if a young player with outstanding performance appears, Gao Han will not rule out including him. Official roster.

Therefore, the outside world is full of curiosity about this training session of the team.

But there was not much time for training this time, and Gao Han did not have much time to deal with media reporters, so he simply adopted a closed training camp and arranged for all the international players to train secretly at the BJ Chinatown Training Center.

The focus of training is still running position and formation.

When personal ability and physical fitness do not have an advantage, only movement and formation can maintain the integrity of the team's tactics, which is the magic weapon for the team to defeat the enemy. And it is not difficult to see from the previous two games that the national football players are There are indeed obvious deficiencies in running without the ball and tactical literacy.

In addition, Gao Han also needs to prepare a second plan, which is a defensive counterattack.

The top 12 competition is different from the top 40 competition. The intensity of the competition in the former and the strength of the opponents are far greater than that in the latter.

After Gao Han took over the national team, he had a certain understanding of the strength of the national football team. He was also very aware of the strength of the Maldives and Qatar, so he dared to adopt a pass-and-control style in front of these two teams and resolutely attack.

But the next top 12 teams they will face are teams like South Korea and Iran. The national football team cannot compete with these two teams in terms of strength, especially South Korea, so they can only use their strengths and avoid weaknesses and use targeted methods. tactics to win.

As Gao Han has always said, strength determines the team's choice.

As a weak team, the Chinese team often has no choice.

In addition to the above-mentioned tasks, Gao Han also needs to inspect these young players in the team. It can be said that the one-week training time is very tight. Gao Han and the coaching staff even wish to use every minute as an hour. Where else can they use it? Do you have time to think about other things?

Fortunately, team leader Li Tie and other staff of the national team understood the difficulties faced by Gao Han and the coaching staff, and took the initiative to take on many tasks, including dealing with outside media, so that Gao Han and the coaching staff could concentrate on training.

Although the training location was in BJ Daxing, during the training period, Gao Han basically ate and lived with the national players and did not go home. He also took advantage of his spare time to communicate with a group of young players in the team. , exchanged each other's experiences, and made them more aware of the long-term plan of the national team and Gao Han's coaching philosophy, especially several young players who have studied abroad.

The four players in Chinatown were all hand-picked by Gao Han. They are direct descendants of the youth training. Needless to say, their potential and undoubted strength are what Gao Han values ​​the most. Their overall strength is also among the best among the younger generation of the current national team. Zhao Jun and Wang Lei He also has the ability to enter the national team's substitute lineup.

This summer, Chinatown will undergo a drastic reorganization. With the departure of a number of stars in their early years, young players will get more opportunities. Young rookies like Zhao Jun and Wang Lei will also enter the first team, and their game opportunities will definitely increase. have.

As for Gao Ren and Yang Xin, they are both heavily cultivated players in China. Among them, Yang Xin’s development trajectory is very clear, but Gao Ren is more vague. He can play any position in the frontcourt, and his ability and potential are beyond doubt. , the premise is how to locate his best position.

Along with Zhao Jun and Wang Lei, who have both appeared in the first team in Chinatown and played in the Copa del Rey, Lin Liangming's treatment in Real Madrid is much worse. It is even difficult for him to play as a main force in the second team. Gao Han's advice to him It’s about playing more games.

He is only nineteen years old, and he is at the age when he is in urgent need of game training and accumulation of experience, and the current situation in Real Madrid is not suitable for the growth of young players at all. Let alone Lin Liangming, even those potential rookies in the first team will have a hard time. have the opportunity.

Instead of doing this, it is better to settle for the next best thing and play for some teams that can compete.

Among the many overseas players, apart from the four players from Chinatown, the one who has developed the best is Zhang Yuning, who plays for the Netherlands.

He was selected for the national team last time, but Gao Han never had a chance to negotiate with him. This training camp will focus on examining his performance, and even consider giving him a chance to play in the warm-up match. And he just played in the Dutch U19 Cup finals. Helped Vitesse win the trophy for the first time in history and performed well.

Moreover, this 19-year-old youngster also encountered some problems in the Eredivisie and had to turn to Gao Han for help.
