Super Marshal

On the evening of October 14, 2001, the Balledos Stadium in Vigo

On the court, the opponents are playing in full swing, and the game is very tragic.

If you count the number of players on the field carefully, it is not difficult to find that Atletico Madrid in the away game has one less player than the home team Celta Vigo, but they are not at all inferior on the scene.

Yes, Atlético Madrid did send one off.

Celta Vigo, who played at home in this game, played very rough and made a lot of fouls. However, the referee in this game was soft in handling the whistle and took care of the home team. Atletico Madrid was full of anger.

Victor Fernandez obviously focused on rehearsing this game. He defended quite tightly in the first half. Instead of being scored by Atletico Madrid, he took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and Argentine striker Gustavo Lopez scored a goal. .

This is the first time that Atletico Madrid has fallen behind since the new season.

After falling behind by one goal, and unable to start the game for a long time on the scene, the players of the Sheets Corps also began to become impatient.

During the intermission, Gao Han poured a bucket of cold water on the hot-headed players to wake them up and adjust their tactics.

But after the restart of the second half, Marchena was hugged to the ground by Celta's Brazilian striker Catania during a defensive process, but the referee didn't seem to see this scene, instead of punishing Catani Instead, he warned Marchena, who complained.

Not long after, the hot-headed Marchena made a retaliatory dangerous move in a penalty area and knocked Catania to the ground. This scene happened in front of the referee.

Undoubtedly, a red card plus a penalty kick!

The cunning Brazilian striker Catania rolled a few laps in the penalty area, stood up without any damage to his body, and made a penalty kick himself, rewriting the score to 2-0.

As a result, Atletico Madrid had to fight with one less player in the remaining 30 minutes of the game.

Gao Han made a decisive decision and replaced the teenager Torres with central defender Pablo Ibanez, and the whole team retreated.

Although one person is missing, relying on the overall tactical advantage, Atletico Madrid still stabilized their position and did not allow Celta Vigo to take advantage of it.

But time passed bit by bit, and there was still no change in the scene.

The 30,000 Celta fans in the stands of the Baledos Stadium seemed to have seen the victory and began to celebrate in advance.

...

Gao Han sighed heavily, turned his head, and glanced at the player tunnel.

Torres, who was substituted, and Marchena, who was kicked off the pitch with a red card, were both standing at the exit of the player tunnel. Both of them were worried, obviously worried about the current situation of the team.

Marchena felt the head coach's eyes, but he didn't dare to look at Gao Han, and lowered his head, as if he was so remorseful that he wished he could commit suicide.

Gao Han sighed again, "This guy is really both loved and hated."

Cantarero, who was standing beside Gao Han, also noticed Marchena, and smiled wryly, not knowing how to answer.

Marchena's advantages are obvious. As a Spanish central defender, he has good physical fitness, strong defensive ability, and is very comprehensive. He can play as a defensive midfielder.

On the court, Marchena belongs to the style of desperate Saburo, very passionate, able to drive his teammates around him, and he is also the kind of player that the coach and fans like very much.

But it is precisely because of his personality and style that he is prone to get hotheaded on the court, and he is not calm and rational enough. He is usually persuaded by Gao Han and his partner Carvalho on the sidelines, but he is fine.

But once he slackened a bit, he was like a wild horse that had run loose, and he couldn't be pulled back.

"His character is like this, and he can only be smoothed over time. If you want to use him, you have to accept his flaws."

After listening to Cantarero's words, Gao Han sighed deeply again.

Why doesn't he know?

But this guy made Atletico Madrid concede a goal at once.

This was originally one goal behind, and Gao Han was still sure, but now it has become zero to two...

"We still have to hone him. This kid is a talent. He can carve it well. He won't lose to Puyol."

Puyol is Barcelona's defender, and he is also a very promising defensive rookie in Spain.

Cantarero was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gao Han to value Marchena so much that he even compared him with Puyol.

But he has no doubts about Gao Han's ability to see people.

"What now?" Cantarero asked with concern.

Gao Han looked at the time, "Wait a little longer."

"Haha...it worked, it really worked!"

Unlike the dead silence in the coaching area of ​​the visiting team, in the coaching area of ​​the home team, Victor Fernandez, the head coach of Celta Vigo, was grinning and laughing non-stop.

"Sure enough, our preparations for the past two weeks have not been wasted!"

"Who says it's not?" The assistant nodded again and again.

Judging from the performance of the whole game, Celta Vigo not only defended Atletico Madrid's attack, but also used two counterattacks, one scored a goal, one made Marchena's foul and won a penalty.

Leading by two goals, with little time left, Celta Vigo could almost be said to have grabbed the three-pointer with one hand.

"However, don't say it, Gao Han is indeed a bit capable."

Victor Fernandez pointed to the court, "Although there is one person missing on the scene, they can still control the ball, and the scene is not at all disadvantaged. This is enough to show their level."

Even as an opponent, Victor Fernandez had to submit.

Of course, it was because he was ahead and he was about to win, and he had the grace to be the winner.

If the ball is lost, who is willing to praise the opponent?

As long as he thinks that his team is about to kill Atletico Madrid, Victor Fernandez's whole body is like a fire, becoming extremely hot.

He knew that this game would become the headlines of all the newspapers in Spain tomorrow.

End Atletico Madrid's winning streak and he, Victor Fernandez, will explode overnight!

"I really want to score him a few more goals!" Victor Fernandez laughed.

But the assistant beside him was startled when he heard it, and broke out in a cold sweat, "Don't..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm joking." Victor Fernandez immediately comforted the assistant, his head was not dizzy yet.

Although they are newly promoted, Atletico Madrid's overall combat capability is getting stronger and stronger. This team is improving in almost every game. Up to now, the Sheets can be said to be a force that cannot be underestimated in La Liga.

Victor Fernandez himself is aware of his own affairs. Defensive counterattack is the magic weapon for Celta Vigo to settle down in La Liga. Pressing out to fight is simply asking for a dead end.

Everyone knows that the Sheets won the Copa del Rey by relying on defensive counterattacks.

Taking advantage of one's own weaknesses and attacking the enemy's strengths, one would only do this if one's brains show off.

"Atletico Madrid will lose!"

In the media stand area of ​​the Baledos Stadium, media reporters from all over Spain gathered.

I saw that at this time, they were all excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Atletico Madrid's loss is definitely a big news, and it will definitely stimulate the sales of tomorrow's newspapers.

"Gao Han's on-the-spot skill didn't work this time!"

"Hehe, how can it work every time? Wouldn't that be a god?"

"This time, I was really dragged down by my own players. The second half had improved, but Marchena received a red card at this time, and even gave a penalty kick. Isn't this self-defeating? ?”

"Many people say that the best of the month is a curse. Gao Han just got the best coach in September, but he lost this game. Peter Cech just got the best goalkeeper of the month. As a result, he lost this game. hit two balls..."

"Actually, I really can't blame them."

"Yeah, three days ago, Atletico Madrid just slammed Rayo Vallecano in the King's Cup. They won 3-1, which was quite exhausting."

"According to me, Gao Han should give up multi-line combat and concentrate on playing well in the league."

"Give up multi-line combat? This is simple to say, you have to consider the emotions of the players and fans."

"That's right, let's talk about the Copa del Rey. They played at home and sold more than 50,000 tickets, creating the highest attendance record for the Copa del Rey in Atlético Madrid's history. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, give up the Copa del Rey?"

"How can you wear such a big hat if you don't have such a big head?"

"You're right. Now the Copa del Rey has obviously affected the league. In this game, Atletico Madrid will lose."

"It's almost seventy minutes. From the looks of it, it's hopeless."

The journalists are pessimistic about Atletico Madrid's situation, and many of them are even gloating.

As the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind, and Atletico Madrid, as a newly promoted horse, has won consecutive victories all the way. Although it has also won applause, it also makes many teams and reporters jealous and jealous. They wish they would lose and collapse earlier.

Now, the zero-to-two loss to Vigo Celta took advantage of their wish.

Among the reporters, Javier Mattayana has been watching the game in the stadium in silence.

On weekdays, he is a star among the reporters, but today he lacks interest. Everyone else knows that he is a die-hard Atletico Madrid player. He must be upset when his favorite team loses, so no one bothers him. he.

Mattayana looked at the court, and then at Gao Han who was standing side by side with Cantarero on the sidelines. He heard the discussions among his peers, but he didn't believe it at all.

He didn't believe that Gao Han would be a person who gave up so easily!

At the beginning, Gao Han encountered a more dangerous situation than now, but he never gave up. Will he give up willingly now?

But if he still had the heart to fight back, then he should have done it long ago?

According to Matyana's past observations of Gao Han, he prefers to launch an offensive at about 60 minutes, either through substitutions or tactical adjustments, but it has been 70 minutes now, why is there still no movement?

If you are two goals behind, if you don't make a move, you will not be able to catch up.

"Gao Han, Gao Han, what are you thinking?"
