Super Marshal

"Mr. Gao Han, the performance of Atlético de Madrid this season is like a roller coaster. It can be described as ups and downs and extremely thrilling. From the beginning of the season to the top flight, then fell into the relegation zone, and now returned to the top three and reached the top three. In the Copa del Rey final, almost all the fans and the media believe that you have contributed a lot."

"thanks!"

"My question is, although Atlético Madrid is a second-tier team, it is a traditional giant. What do you think of the upcoming Copa del Rey final? Do you think you have a chance of winning against the mighty Barcelona?"

"Okay, thank you friend from the reporter for your question."

Gao Han stood in front of a simple rectangular table filled with microphones, smiling at the reporters at the press conference.

After all, it was the final of the King's Cup, and there were quite a few people. There should be more than 30 people, and the whole room was full.

"I don't deny that we are at a disadvantage in terms of overall strength, but I think that all teams that can reach the finals have the possibility to win, and I also believe that as long as we do our best, we must have a chance to win .”

"I don't regard Barcelona as an unattainable opponent. On the contrary, I think that in this final, we are evenly matched, and whoever wins or loses is possible!"

Gao Han's answer immediately received applause from the reporters on the scene.

"Mr. Gao Han, you are not yet twenty-four years old, you are the youngest head coach in the history of the Copa del Rey final, and this is your first time to participate in the final, I think many people want to know, how do you feel now? Is it stressful?"

After Gao Han patiently listened to the question, he shook his head and smiled.

"I have to remind you, this is not my first final."

"No?" The reporter who stood up to ask the question was very surprised.

Many reporters at the scene also gave a cry of surprise, obviously they didn't understand.

"In August last year, I played in a final, the Madrid Community Invitational Final. The opponent in that game was Real Madrid's second team, and we are just an amateur team that has only been formed for three months!"

When many reporters at the scene heard this, they all let out a wow.

At this moment, they suddenly remembered that compared with the final in August last year, the current strength gap between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona is not too outrageous.

"Just this afternoon, after the team's last training session, the chairman of the club, Mr. Hill, came to the sports city to see the team off. He said that he did not have any requirements for the game. He only hoped that we would do our best to play Well, this final is a win or a loss, and tomorrow is a brand new day!"

"Mr. Hill also said that he is not in good health, but he will come to the scene to cheer for the team. This is not to put pressure on us, but to give us strength and let us know that he is fighting with us. "

When Gao Han said this, the topic changed.

"I would like to say that it is indeed my first professional cup final, and even the first final of many players in our team, especially the Copa del Rey final, but I don't think there will be any pressure on us because we don't Not alone, we are not alone, we are not alone."

"We are one, and that feeling makes me feel so peaceful!"

Many reporters at the scene nodded one after another, once again affirming Gao Han's answer this time.

Many reporters were even a little surprised. They didn't expect Gao Han to be in front of the camera. He was far less nervous than they had imagined.

This is also thanks to the fact that Gao Han has received special training from the team's press officer in the past period of time.

Moreover, he has been the head coach for four months, and he doesn't know how many times he has dealt with the media. If he is still nervous, he really can't justify it.

After answering two questions in a row, the reporter immediately threw out a few more questions, all related to the team and the final, and Gao Han also answered them one by one.

Maybe it was because Gao Han was always answering questions, or because he felt that the time was ripe, a Catalan reporter immediately asked a sharp question.

"Mr. Gao Han, I am a reporter from World Sports Daily."

Gao Han nodded, Mundo Deportivo, a newspaper in Catalonia, pro-Barcelona, ​​the visitors were not kind.

"Not long ago, there was news from the media that the Barcelona management intends to invite you to join the coaching staff of Barcelona's first team, but Cruyff firmly opposed it in his column. He believed that the Atletico Madrid style you led was too conservative. Not for Barcelona."

Gao Han still nodded, he knew that the problem was not over yet.

"Just this morning, he predicted in a new column that Barcelona will take the lead in breaking Atletico Madrid's goal, and the final victory will belong to Barcelona."

Speaking of this, the Catalan reporter looked at Gao Han with a malicious look, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Gao Han, my question is, how do you evaluate Cruyff in this The claims in the two columns?"

As soon as this question was raised, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became active.

Many reporters were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, looked at Gao Han, and wanted to see how he would answer.

Gao Han also knows that this problem can be big or small, but there are traps everywhere, but he knows how to deal with it.

"First of all, I want to say that Cruyff is a respectable predecessor. He is a very important person in the history of Barcelona. He has the right to express his views on the club. I respect that very much."

But Gao Han immediately changed the topic, "But I think that although Mr. Cruyff is familiar with Barcelona, ​​he must not understand Atletico Madrid. I don't think our style is conservative. The reason why it will give people such an illusion is because we We are on a path of transformation and rejuvenation, but at the same time, we need to return to La Liga."

"It's far from the best Atlético Madrid team in my opinion so far, I don't know, maybe someone could do it better than me, but I've done my best, I'm just a coach !"

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, there was another burst of applause at the scene, and many reporters even cast hostile glances at the Catalan reporter who asked the question.

The acting head coach of Atlético de Madrid responded neither humble nor overbearing. He not only expressed his respect for Cruyff, but also showed his own difficulties. He put out the fire halfway, and the team’s resources were just like this. What else could he do? Sample?

Even Gao Han gave a counterattack at the end.

I can only do this. Who of you dare to say that you can do better than me?

Since taking over the team in January until now, he has won consecutive victories, brought a team from the relegation zone of the second-tier league to the second place in the league, and reached the final of the King's Cup. Who dares to say that this report card is not enough it is good?

Who else dares to say that he can do better?

But soon there was another reporter who stood up without hesitation and asked the hot question again.

"Mr. Gao Han, according to what you mean, you still plan to play a defensive counterattack in the final tomorrow night, right?"

When this question came up, the audience was in an uproar.

Before the game, any team's tactics are confidential.

But Gao Han smiled slightly, and actually replied: "I can tell you, yes, yes, if possible, I hope to put all eleven players on defense."

The reporters at the scene were even more surprised.

What does it mean?

"Mr. Gao Han, don't you ever think about winning the game?" Another reporter immediately asked.

Gao Han shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course we want to win, but we must first consider how to resist Barcelona's powerful attack."

After a pause, Gao Han said again: "They have Kluivert, Rivaldo, Overmars, Luis Enrique, and a lot of top attackers in the world. Team, I don’t know what else we can do other than defend, don’t tell me...you want me to attack?”

All the reporters were at a loss for words.

That's right, facing Barcelona with such a strong lineup of superstars, even Real Madrid have to consider how to limit the opponent's offense, right?

Not to mention Atletico Madrid in the second level now!

"However, Mr. Gao Han, you have to think about counterattacking?"

"Defensive and counterattack, first solidify the defense, and then think about counterattack, everything must be in order, isn't it?"

"but……"

"I know that some reporters and fans want to see both winning and wonderful games, but sometimes we can only choose between winning and being wonderful."

"Mr. Gao Han, you mean, with eleven men defending, Atletico Madrid can win, right?"

"No no no, this is your understanding, I mean, there is hope of winning, that's all."

"Then why not consider simply playing against Barcelona? Barcelona's defense is also very bad this season. Many teams that have played against Barcelona have gained a lot."

"I know, but what I saw more is that Real Sociedad lost 0-6 at home to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid lost 0-2 away to Barcelona, ​​Athletic Bilbao lost 0-7 away to Barcelona..."

Having said that, Gao Han curled his lips, "I think these games should be quite educational."

The reporters were at a loss for words again.

They can all see that Gao Han has also done enough preparations in terms of intelligence.

From the semi-finals to the final, there are a total of two months, which is enough for Atletico Madrid to prepare for the game.

Although very reluctant, they also have to admit that Atletico Madrid can only do a good job of defending against Barcelona.

Otherwise, with Barcelona's offensive power, it is not surprising at all to score three or four goals.

"Mr. Gao Han, since you have revealed the tactics, can you reveal the main lineup?"

"This won't work!" This time Gao Han immediately shook his head with a smile.

"It's just a list anyway."

"no!"

But the reporter didn't give up. "Or, only the forward? The midfielder? The defender? Or, it's okay to reveal the substitute."

Gao Han still had a smile on his face, thought for a while, then nodded suddenly, "Okay then."

All the reporters in the audience immediately became excited.

Do you really want to reveal the starting list?

This is much more refreshing than Ferrer just now!

"Let me tell you about the starter at the goalkeeper position!"

There was a groaning sound in the venue, followed by a wailing sound.

goalkeeper?

Do you still need to disclose this, Mr. Gao Han?

Who doesn't know that there is currently only one main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid, Tony Jimenez!

But Gao Han, who was standing in front of the microphone, tried his best to answer seriously: "After careful consideration by our coaching staff and a long-term training test, we decided to arrange Tony in this important game. Jimenez starts because we believe he can help the team and keep the goal!"

The reporters present almost cried!

Mr. Gao Han, can you not announce such an important secret in such a public place?

Shall we change places?
