Super Marshal

"The league has only played three rounds, and now it is unconvincing to be the leader."

A football program of Spanish National Television was playing on the TV. As a special guest, Fernando Zambrano sat in front of the camera and talked.

"I'm sure that no one will believe that Real Madrid will be relegated, and no one will believe that Atletico Madrid can continue to be the leader. This is absolutely impossible."

Special guests often represent the attitude of the program producer, and everyone knows that although Zambrano used to be the head coach of Atletico Madrid, in the past half a year or so, he has become more and more anti-Atletico Madrid. Going further and further.

Since he is invited, he is asked to raise some objections in this trend of admiration for Atletico Madrid.

"There is no doubt that several strong teams in the new season have generally encountered some problems. Irueta's Deportivo had the most amazing start, but this round of home games was upset by Athletic Bilbao. Who would have thought? "

"Barcelona has won one win and two draws in the first three rounds, and remains unbeaten. This report card is not satisfactory, especially the home draw with Barcano, which is even more regrettable, but Rexach also said that he is running in. The team, I believe it will be adjusted soon."

"Real Mallorca in Aragones also encountered some troubles, one win, one draw and one loss, especially the 0-3 loss to Las Palmas in the first round, which was a blow to morale, but then adjusted quickly , especially in the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in midweek, where they beat Arsenal 1-0, this team is quite strong."

"Comparatively speaking, Valencia is very stable. They defeated Real Madrid in the first round, drew in the second round, and won the third round. They have two wins and one tie. They are still unbeaten. They also changed coaches. Benitez has done well. It is very rare to retain the strength of Cooper and not decline because of Mendieta's departure."

"The last is Real Madrid. The reason why Bosque lost to Atletico Madrid in this round has a lot to do with the midweek defeat to Rome. The players played two consecutive games in a short period of time, and their physical fitness could not keep up. Zidane's slow integration into the team caused problems in the team's attack."

Speaking of this, Zambrano smiled confidently, "But I believe that with the deepening of the season, Real Madrid will soon get out of the predicament, especially when Zidane is integrated into the team, the powerful combat effectiveness of the Galacticos will definitely be reflected of."

The host had been silently listening to Zambrano's analysis, but this time he smiled strangely.

"But, in any case, Real Madrid can't escape the nightmare of being killed three times by their rivals in the same city."

Zambrano knew the host was trying to bait him into speaking, and he had no intention of hiding it.

Being on this show is because of his attitude.

"In fact, these three games can't explain any problems at all. The two Super Cup games have not been taken very seriously. Real Madrid didn't take this event seriously. The third round of the league happened to meet In the Champions League group stage, there is a choice between the two, and it must be the Champions League."

"On the contrary, Atlético de Madrid, as a newly promoted horse, concentrated all their energies on playing these three games, and it is not surprising to win, and we have to admit that this team has adjusted well recently, but everyone knows , The status is too early, it is not a good thing."

"You mean..." the host asked again.

"Yes, Atlético Madrid will not stay at the top for long."

The host smiled slightly, "Is there any evidence to support your judgment?"

"They will start playing the UEFA Cup in the middle of the week. The two legs of the first knockout round are just in the middle of the third, fourth and fifth league rounds, plus the seven days in the first week of October. It is a big test for any team to play the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds of the league, three consecutive weeks of double matches."

"Also, as I said in the column, Atletico Madrid is the youngest team in La Liga this season, with the lowest average age, and we all know that the younger the player, the harder it is to maintain a stable state. Go deep and there will definitely be problems at Atletico Madrid."

The host heard this and pointed out the key points.

"Fernando, your judgment is... the next two weeks?"

"Yes, I judge that after the fifth round, the pattern of La Liga will change again!"

...

Following Zambrano's sound judgment, there was a burst of laughter in the office.

"This guy probably won't be able to eat or sleep if he doesn't scold me twice a day!"

Gao Han pointed at Zambrano on the TV and smiled.

In his eyes, he didn't need to pay attention to what Zambrano said or did.

Because any of his responses and counterattacks will only boost Zambrano's arrogance and popularity. The former coach of the Sheets Legion must wish that Gao Han would have a quarrel with him.

"He's living off his pen and mouth now, if you don't scold you, who will take care of him?" Sergio Garcia sneered.

From the very beginning, he had been at odds with Zambrano, and now he looked more and more disliked.

Damn, it's just a clown.

But there are TV stations and newspapers who like him, asking him to write a column and appear on the program.

"What he said has already been written in a newspaper column, and now he said it on the TV station. There is nothing new. Is it interesting?" Cantarero also shook his head, too uncreative.

Isn't Atletico Madrid just to reach the top and lead the way?

As for being so anxious?

On the contrary, Gao Han waved his hand freely, "It's okay, I have a big belly, so I don't care about it with him. Besides, he relies on me for food now. Although he is scolding me on the surface, he must be doing it for me in his heart." pray."

Everyone in the coaching staff was taken aback, expecting the guy to pray for you?

"If I'm miserable, who will listen to him scolding me?"

Everyone laughed, which is true.

"However, the impression of this bastard in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans has been completely ruined!" Sergio Garcia said fiercely, still somewhat unbalanced in his heart.

It's really a disaster for thousands of years.

Gao Han waved his hand, signaling not to argue with him, "There is some truth to what he said."

With that said, Gao Han laid out a schedule, which clearly listed the La Liga, King's Cup and UEFA Cup schedules.

"We played Silkeborg in the middle of the week. In the two rounds, we played the host first and then the away. The opponent is not strong, but we must be careful, because we have no experience in European wars, so we can't be careless."

When everyone heard what Gao Han said, they all became serious.

Sergio Garcia handed over a document at this time, which was the pre-match analysis report finally concluded by their technical analysis team based on the intelligence collected by the scouts.

"Silkeborg entered the UEFA Cup after finishing third in the Danish Super League last season, but this season the Danish Super League has played nine rounds. Silkeborg's record is two draws and seven losses. It is currently at the bottom of the standings."

"What?" Gao Han was a little surprised, and immediately took the report in Sergio Garcia's hand, opened it, and sure enough.

Not only is the record of two draws and seven losses surprising, but what is even more frightening is that in the nine rounds of the league, Silkeborg only scored three goals, but conceded a total of eighteen goals. How is this level? Like a UEFA Cup team?

After Gao Han read it, he handed over the report to the assistants in front of him.

"The leagues of small countries are like this, with great ups and downs, and Silkeborg's style of play is more inclined to the Nordic style, which is more beneficial to us." Sergio Garcia analyzed.

The rise of Danish football is based on the players of the Laudrup brothers, who play a fast overall offensive and defensive football style, which has also deeply affected the Danish domestic league, but Silkeborg is more inclined to the Nordic power style of play.

Atlético de Madrid are becoming more and more proficient at controlling the ball in the midfield, and they do have certain advantages when dealing with Silkeborg.

Thinking of this, Gao Han knew what was going on, and looked at the schedule again.

"After the first knockout round of the UEFA Cup, the second round will be in October, and the Copa del Rey schedule is also in October, and our next opponents in La Liga are away to Valladolid and home to Las Vegas. Palmas, Athletic Bilbao away, Alaves at home."

Everyone's eyes fell on the schedule, and they followed Gao Han's gesture to look down, and their eyes lit up.

It should be said that before the national team training period in mid-October, Atletico Madrid's opponents in La Liga are relatively weak, even if it is more difficult to play away games, that is, Athletic Bilbao.

This period of the schedule is indeed quite favorable for Atletico Madrid.

"The morale of the team is very good now. Even if it is a two-lane battle, I have the confidence to beat all opponents. Now that Silkeborg is in such a bad state, we will determine the outcome by a home game. We will concentrate on playing the league and try our best Grab points."

With Atletico Madrid's current state and momentum, coupled with the fact that the team is getting more and more skilled, it is entirely possible to win these opponents.

However, looking at Gao Han's appearance, it seems that it is not just as simple as trying his best to grab points.

He wants to win streak!

"As I said before, it's hard to get to the leader position, at least you have to wait until your butt is hot, right?"

Gao Han's words made all four members of the coaching staff smile heartily.

Although they are just assistants, they share weal and woe with Gao Han, and naturally hope that Atletico Madrid's performance will continue to rise.

If you can really restrain a strong enemy for four consecutive games, it will be a seven-game winning streak.

It's really going to the seventh round, and Atletico Madrid still retains the leader's position. It not only boosts the morale and confidence of the team, but more importantly, grabs enough points.

According to preliminary estimates, it can lead by at least five points.

In other words, Atletico Madrid has at least gained a firm foothold in La Liga, and even has the opportunity to spy on the upstream rankings.

The four coaches all looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw the earnestness in each other's eyes.

If it is done, not only will Atletico Madrid stabilize their rankings, Gao Han will become famous, and they will also benefit a lot.

At least, there are generous bonuses for winning games.

"Everyone, I am very confident, how about you?" Gao Han looked at everyone with a smile.

The four assistants also looked at him.

Suddenly, everyone laughed.
