Super Marshal

Although many people said that Aragones was difficult to get along with, in fact, Gao Han had a very happy chat with him.

Zhisou has been coaching for many years, with rich experience, excellent tactical literacy, and a good vision. He can always keenly spot the crux and hidden dangers in the blueprint outlined by Gao Han, and give suggestions for improvement.

This benefits Alpine a lot.

The three of them just sat in the corner with forgetfulness, communicating as if no one else was there, without any secrets, they were very honest with each other, and they all gained a lot.

Not only the two juniors Gao Han and Guardiola, but even Aragones have benefited a lot.

"It's easy to forget the time when chatting with you!" Zhisou said with a smile when he stood up to say goodbye.

Unknowingly, the time has passed, and most of the guests at the venue have left.

"Me too!" Gao Han also smiled and stood up, stretching his waist, but his expression was very excited.

Aragones didn't hold back, "Before, I was more or less worried because you were the head coach of Atletico Madrid, and even felt uncomfortable, but now..."

The old man smiled slightly, "Now I'm looking forward to the surprises you will bring in the new season, to surprise those guys who doubted you just now."

Gao Han nodded with a smile.

"Also, Super Cup, don't lose to Real Madrid."

"I'll do my best!" Gao Han nodded with a smile.

Aragones didn't say anything more, waved his hand, turned and left.

As soon as the old man left, Paulo Futre and Julen Lopetegui came up to meet him.

The Portuguese and Aragones are deadly rivals. The two didn't even say hello when they met, and they had a deep grudge.

So, just now, I have been staying by the side, watching Gao Han and Aragones chatting enthusiastically and happily, when he came over at this time, Paul Futre immediately asked sourly.

"What did you say to that dead old man so vigorously?"

"It's nothing, he taught me a lot." Gao Han smiled.

"Isn't he the one who likes to scold people the most? Is he so kind?"

Gao Han smiled and didn't explain. Instead, he saw that Guardiola and Lopetegui looked very close next to him.

After asking, I found out that the two turned out to be very good friends.

This surprised Gao Han.

However, the time was almost up, and Guardiola had to rush back to Barcelona, ​​so he couldn't stay, exchanged a few words, and then left.

When he came, Gao Han was still very resistant to the so-called party, but when he left, he felt that he had gained a lot and returned with a full reward.

Especially when he walked out of the gate of the headquarters of the Spanish Professional Football League, facing the busy road, he let out a heavy breath and felt unprecedented ambition.

Yes, this is an experiment!

And, it would be a great experiment!

"Paul."

"Um?"

"Just wait and see, soon, the whole of Spain will be shocked by me!"

Paul Futre was taken aback, and looked at Gao Han in disbelief. Does this sound like what he said?

Does that sound like something a newly promoted head coach should say?

"It starts with killing Real Madrid in the Super Cup!" Gao Han smiled confidently.

…………

…………

An in-depth conversation with Aragones further strengthened Gao Han's confidence.

But the football game still has to go step by step, and the training also has to be done class by class.

All Atletico Madrid players have also felt this change in the head coach, speaking louder and full of confidence.

After the devil training in the early stage of the training camp, Gao Han quickly reduced the team's training from three training sessions a day to two training sessions a day, leaving more time for the players to rest and adjust themselves.

The players finally survived the ordeal, and all the hardships have come. They are all grateful to the head coach. Whether it is training or competition, they are obviously more energetic.

Four days after the party, Atletico Madrid sat at home and ushered in the opponent of the fourth warm-up match, Leeds United in the Premier League.

This was also deliberately arranged by Gao Han and the club.

Atlético de Madrid has just returned to La Liga, but in the new season they will compete in the UEFA Cup. It is inevitable that they will encounter different opponents from all over Europe and face different styles of play, which requires the team to adapt.

But as many people in the outside world worry about, the Sheets Corps is old and young, and the experience is the most lacking.

Therefore, the first three warm-up matches were all Spanish teams, but the next two were teams from other European countries.

Leeds United is a strong team in the Premier League. They finished fourth in the league last season. However, due to the current poor standings in the Premier League's European competition, they have not been able to participate in the Champions League and can only represent the Premier League in the UEFA Cup.

The team has Paul Robinson, Woodgate, Ferdinand, Dacourt, Robbie Keane, Alan Smith and other famous Premier League players. The head coach O'Leary is a well-known European coach, and he has trained the team very well. Superior strength.

Elland Road was training in the south of Spain this summer, and was invited to go north in the last warm-up match. They played against the Sheets in Madrid.

But in the second half, Atlético de Madrid began to exert force, took advantage of the field, and quickly created a chance. Villa and Torres pulled away the two central defenders of Leeds United. Kaka suddenly dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough. An angry shot from the front of the penalty area pierced through Leeds United's goal again.

Afterwards, Leeds United counterattacked, and the two sides fell into a battle of you and me again, but neither of them could score again.

Two to one, Atletico Madrid won four consecutive warm-up matches.

For this game, the fans of the Sheets Legion were very satisfied, and the outside media also gave a high evaluation.

Although it was just a warm-up match, but entering August, the state of the two teams has adjusted pretty well.

More importantly, Atlético de Madrid basically played the high cold requirements in this game. Whether it was pressing forward in the defense or pressing in the midfield, they were well organized and organized, and the players were also very committed.

What is more problematic is that the team's possession of the ball is still not stable enough, and there are many passing mistakes. Leeds United's goal was scored when Atletico Madrid took the opportunity to fight back after making a mistake in passing and receiving the ball.

But Gao Han felt that this was mainly due to the excessive changes in the team's personnel and the lack of tacit understanding.

With the increase of tacit understanding and mutual familiarity, I believe it should be improved.

As for the team's starting lineup, most of them are not a problem.

On the front line, the twin stars of Villa and Torres are the main players, and Kiko and Fernando Correa can only serve as substitutes if they stay in the team, and they cannot shake the positions of the two teenagers.

Kaka is the front midfielder, but Baptista is very comprehensive and can also play this position, but his technical characteristics are difficult to achieve the effect of Kaka. On the contrary, Fernando Correa substitutes for this position and performs better Some.

In midfield, Deco, Xavi Alonso and Marcos Senna firmly occupy the main positions, Baptista, Oscar Mena and Gabi are substitutes, while Aguilera and Roberto He can play both on the right and in the midfield, very comprehensive.

On the right side, Dario Srna's assist ability is very strong, and he also meets the requirements of Gao Han. Although he is a newcomer, he quickly seized the opportunity during the training camp and warm-up match, and gained a firm foothold. the main force.

For the time being, the two central defenders, Marchena and Carvalho are more suitable, and Pablo Ibanez is a substitute.

The only more difficult decision is at left back.

Antonio Lopez's speed is fast, his impact is stronger, and he is more familiar with the team's tactics. He should have been the main force of the team for granted.

But after Jankulovski came to the team, he quickly relied on his comprehensive characteristics to perform well at the left back position, especially in defense and ball control, which was better than Antonio Lopez.

It can be said that the two players have their own advantages, and it is difficult for Gao Han to make a decision for a while.

As for the position of the goalkeeper, after Cech arrived, he became the main force of course. Tony Jimenez himself knew it well. Gao Han had communicated with him as early as the beginning of the season, and he was willing to stay as a substitute.

If there are no accidents, Atletico Madrid will start with this lineup in the new season.

After playing Leeds United, Atlético de Madrid resumed their training sessions. The coaching staff solved the problems exposed by the team, and at the same time began to study the upcoming Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid.

But a week later, the team ushered in the fifth warm-up match, the Portuguese Super League Sporting Lisbon.

This warm-up match was finalized when Atletico Madrid introduced Cristiano Ronaldo. The location was in Lisbon, Portugal. Atletico Madrid played this game for free, which was included in the transfer fee of the Portuguese teenager.

Although it is an away game, the Sheets Legion still does not change its true nature, insisting on the high defense established at the beginning of the alpine season, pressing the midfielder and the frontcourt to press and control the ball, with the intention of dominating the game.

Atletico Lisbon is very uncomfortable with Atletico Madrid's style of play, and it is very embarrassing to be overwhelmed in the game.

On the other hand, the Sheets Corps gradually adapted to the tactical play. After the players established an initial tacit understanding, the play became more and more proficient, and the team played more and more smoothly.

Soon, in the first half, with the goals of Villa and Torres, the lead was established early.

It is worth mentioning that the assists of the two goals were Deco and Kaka.

Entering the second half with a two-to-zero lead, Gao Han praised the team fiercely in the locker room, but at the same time encouraged the team to make persistent efforts, hoping to boost morale in the final warm-up match.

If you can bring a big victory to face the upcoming Super Cup opponent Real Madrid, then you have a better chance of winning.

But when Atletico Madrid was full of ambitions, in the 61st minute of the second half, Sporting Lisbon's Brazilian center Jardel kicked Harvey Alonso when he retreated to defend and competed with Harvey Alonso. Alonso's ankle.

Although the Spanish midfielder returned to the game soon after the initial treatment by the team doctor, but ten minutes later, he suddenly raised his hand to indicate that he could not hold on.

Facing the sudden accident, Gao Han who was standing on the sidelines suddenly had an ominous premonition.
