Super Marshal

While the Calciopoli scandal was making a fuss, Inter Milan still followed the schedule and played games one after another.

But everyone knows that in front of the goalkeeper, these games have lost their meaning.

After defeating Middlesbrough 2-0 away in the first round, Inter Milan returned to the Meazza Stadium. After a hard-fought Italian derby, Inter Milan defeated the opponent 1-0 and finally eliminated Milan with a total score of 3-0. Delsburg successfully reached the UEFA Cup final, and this time their opponent was Sevilla from La Liga.

After returning to Serie A, Inter Milan defeated Empoli, Siena and Cagliari respectively in the remaining three rounds of the league, and finally ended the Serie A schedule with a complete victory.

Later, in the Italian Cup final, the first leg was 1-0 away and 3-1 at home. They defeated Roma with a total score of 4-1 and successfully won the Italian Cup championship this season.

Immediately afterwards, in the UEFA Cup final against Sevilla, Inter Milan fell into a hard battle.

Sevilla's strength is not weak, especially the right back Daniel Alves was very active, which made Gao Han's eyes bright. It was in line with Gao Han's preference for right backs, and at the same time, he also gave Inter Milan a good performance in the game. The left wing created a lot of trouble.

But in the end, Inter Milan still relied on its overall strength advantage to defeat Sevilla 2-0.

Successfully winning the Triple Crown, Inter Milan completed a very successful season.

Everyone in the Nerazzurri was full of praise for Gao Han's performance in his first season as coach, and hoped that the team could continue to work hard to successfully defend the Serie A title next season and make a difference in the European competition.

While Inter Milan is holding a grand parade in Milan that has not been seen in more than ten years, the Calciopoli scandal is also in full swing. Various insider stories and shocking information are emerging one after another, and the scope of involvement is getting wider and wider.

While Prime Minister Prodi and other important government officials expressed their determination to conduct a thorough investigation, Italian President Ciampi also stated in the newspaper, "Late controversy is false justice."

Since then, Italy has basically reached a consensus from top to bottom, that is, to investigate the phone scandal to the end.

The whole thing has developed to this point, and there is basically nothing wrong with Gao Han.

After leading the team to play all the games this season, the World Cup in Germany is approaching.

Gao Han originally planned to take advantage of the rare opportunity to rest and take Lin Xia back to China to enjoy a wonderful vacation, but unexpectedly he received an invitation letter from Germany.

Astonishingly, it was the chairman of the German World Cup Organizing Committee, the famous German football emperor Beckenbauer, who invited him and Lin Xia to attend the opening ceremony of the German World Cup, and they also sat in the VIP seats in the chairman's stand, which made Gao Han quite flattered.

Everyone knows that the opening ceremony of every World Cup attracts worldwide attention. Those who can sit in the VIP seats of the main stand are basically leaders and dignitaries of various countries, as well as big bosses from FIFA and national football associations in various continents.

As a head coach, although Gao Han is very popular in professional football, he does not have much influence in FIFA.

Obviously, whether it is for career development or participation in the World Cup feast, Gao Han has no reason to refuse.

…………

…………

On the evening of June 9th, Munich’s Allianz Arena.

In the VIP lounge area of ​​this dream stadium, which was specially built for the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Germany, it can be said that there are a lot of big shots gathered.

From German President Horst Kohler and German Chancellor Merkel, to FIFA President Sepp Blatter and UEFA President Johansson, to the presidents of the participating national football associations, and other political and business figures and football celebrities, down to football king Pele. , as well as many world famous models in Germany, all gathered together.

The only one absent is the Italian Football Federation.

Both Chairman Carraro and Vice Chairman Mazzini were expelled due to the Calciopoli scandal. This time, the person representing the Italian Football Association in Germany was Commissioner Rossi, who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Football Association after the Calciopoli scandal broke out.

Although Gao Han has only been established in European football for a few years and has no qualifications in front of many football big shots, he still became the center of attention from the moment he walked in here.

This is not only because he has just exposed the Calciopoli scandal in Italy, which has almost subverted the entire Italian football world, but more importantly, because of his achievements in European football, it is difficult for him not to attract attention.

"Haha, welcome to Munich." Beckenbauer greeted him with a smile.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, Franz." Gao Han said politely.

"Don't say that. I'm glad you came."

Lin Xia was also gentle and polite, and met Beckenbauer gracefully, winning the praise of the football emperor.

The rest area before the opening ceremony looked like a sorority party. Everyone gathered in twos and threes to chat and make friends. When they saw Gao Han coming in, many people he had contact with on weekdays stepped forward to say hello.

For example, UEFA President Johansson, who just awarded Gao Han the UEFA Cup championship, Italian Football Association Commissioner Rossi and the Chairman of the English Football Association, etc., but the most familiar one is Spanish Football Association Chairman Bilal. After all, Gao Han still has a crown hanging on his head. Title of Technical Advisor to the Spanish Football Federation.

As a result, after going back and forth, the area around Gao Han became the focus of everyone in the audience.

As a head coach who has been involved in European football for many years and is able to deal with the media with ease, Gao Han is already familiar with this kind of situation. He can handle it appropriately and have a well-founded approach.

But Beckenbauer, as the host, was indeed too busy, so he gave the task of greeting Gao Han to Rummenigge and Hoeness, two of Bayern Munich's troika.

We had all been in contact with them before, Gao Han was no stranger to them, and they were all in professional football, so it was easier to talk to them.

When the time came, the Allianz Arena was already packed, with 66,000 fans eagerly shouting for the game.

Gao Han and others entered the VIP seats directly and watched the wonderful opening ceremony performance below the stadium.

After that, football king Pele and a German supermodel entered from the player tunnel, pushing the atmosphere to the high court.

When World Cup Organizing Committee Chairman Franz Beckenbauer and FIFA Chairman Sepp Blatter accompanied German President Horst Kohler into the stadium, the atmosphere reached its highest level, and everyone in the audience cheered the nickname of the Football Emperor. ,Caesar.

"He is truly a living legend!" Gao Han praised with admiration.

From this burst of overwhelming cheers, he could feel the love of German fans for Beckenbauer.

He is the only legend to have won the World Cup as both a player and a coach.

Rummenigge and Hoeness also nodded hurriedly.

But when the live broadcast announced the starting lineups of the two teams for this game, the faces of the two Bayern Munich bosses were very ugly.

The reason is very simple. Among the eleven German national team starting lineups, Bayern Munich, which has always been a big player in the international football team, is known as Green Hollywood, only occupies two seats.

They are young player Lahm, who will be the left back in this game, and Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is the left midfielder.

Although veteran goalkeeper Kahn has also entered the national team roster, he serves as Lehmann's substitute, while midfielder Ballack is absent due to injury, and the German international has also announced that he will transfer to the Premier League as a free agent. Team Chelsea.

"In the past few years, we have vigorously promoted the reform of youth training and began to try to incorporate more technology on the basis of the original power play style. This has led to the decline of domestic talents. Coupled with the debt crisis at the beginning of the century, it has had a negative impact on us. The blow was very severe and I still haven’t fully recovered yet.” Hoeness sighed helplessly.

The nickname of the German national team is Deutsche Rammstein. Just look at the name and you will know how this team plays.

However, in the past few years, the technical style of play led by Gao Han has been increasingly recognized by the mainstream of European football. German football has also firmly promoted technicalization as the direction of youth training. However, this will take some time to transform and talents will wither. It's only temporary.

However, at the beginning of the century, the Kirsch Group went bankrupt and many teams such as Dortmund were in deep debt crisis. The blow to the Bundesliga was quite painful, which made it difficult for the Bundesliga to reproduce itself in the late 1990s and early 1990s. the heyday.

Apart from anything else, in terms of financial resources alone, Bayern Munich could not keep Sagnol before, and it cannot keep Ballack now.

Sagnol's departure has had a tragic impact on Bayern Munich. If Lizarazu on the left will be replaced by Lahm after he gets old, it will be difficult to find a suitable candidate on the right.

Although Magath finally led his team to win the championship, the victory was very dangerous.

Now, the departure of main midfielders Ballack and Ze Roberto, the aging of defense pillar Kahn, and the retirement of Jeremys and Lizarazu will all bring immeasurable consequences to Bayern Munich. Loss.

Today, Bayern Munich is in a very embarrassing metabolic stage, but what is terrible is that both inside and outside the team are beginning to have doubts about whether coach Magath can lead the team out of the crisis.

Gao Han had long been suspicious of Beckenbauer's invitation and the personal reception of Rummenigge and Hoeness. At this time, he had already guessed the intentions of Rummenigge and Hoeness.

As expected, the Bayern Munich boss quickly confessed his thoughts.

"To be honest, Mr. Gao Han, all of us feel that whether you are at Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, or now Inter Milan, your work has been completed perfectly. Both the results and the process are impeccable."

"Thank you." Gao Han nodded slightly.

"I told you back then that I hope to see you coach our Bayern Munich one day. Now, not only me, but the entire Bayern Munich, from the management to the players to the fans, is looking forward to it."

After finishing speaking, Hoeness and Rummenigge both looked anxiously waiting for Gao Han's answer.

Many people said that after the Serie A phone scandal broke out, Gao Han was likely to leave Inter Milan.

This is why Hoeness and Rummenigge will issue invitations again.

They all know that compared to Magath, Gao Han is undoubtedly the most suitable head coach for Bayern Munich, and he is good at promoting and cultivating young players. His coaching style that emphasizes passing and control skills is also very consistent with the future development trend of the Bundesliga.

They even believe that Gao Han's arrival will completely change the style of Bayern Munich and even the entire Bundesliga.

However, after they finished speaking, Gao Han regretfully declined.

"Thank you both very much for your kind invitation. To be honest, I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to coach a giant like Bayern Munich, but I am sorry that I have no way to leave Inter Milan."

"Why?" Rummenigge asked urgently.

"I promised Mr. Moratti, and I need to fulfill my promise."

Rummenigge and Hoeness were at a loss for words.

Moratti persisted for many years in order to invite Gao Han. He invited him many times and even waited for him for a year. It was a sign of great kindness. It is normal for Gao Han to return the favor now.

In fact, as two people who were born as professional players, they couldn't help but admire them even more.

It's just...it's still a pity to miss Gao Han again.
