Super Marshal

After defeating Barcelona 4-0 in the European Super Cup, Inter Milan returned to Italy and went to Bari non-stop to participate in the Thiem Cup triangle match and successfully defeated Juventus 2-0 and 1-0 in the two halves. Tuscany and AC Milan have won another championship trophy in the new season.

Although AC Milan lost to Inter Milan, they defeated Juventus. The Bianconeri suffered two consecutive losses and were at the bottom.

This round of unstoppable performance before the season has made the Nerazzurri the most popular team to win the Serie A title. It has become a banner that all Italian fans have high hopes for, and the coaching of head coach Gao Han is also highly recognized by fans.

After playing in the Thiem Cup Triangle and entering September, the summer transfer has officially ended.

Inter Milan also began to disband, and the players returned home to participate in national team training.

But the Pinetina training base did not become deserted at all, because after sending away the players, a filming crew from the Italian National Television was welcomed. They planned to record a special program on Inter Milan before the start of the new season.

The director of the program, Gianni Liotta, a famous Italian media person, was personally responsible for the exclusive interview with Gao Han.

Since the program and this exclusive interview will be scheduled to be broadcast on Italian National TV Station 1 during prime time on Friday, it can almost be said to be an important promotion before the start of the new Serie A season. Therefore, not only Inter Milan attaches great importance to it , even the Italian Football Association specially arranged personnel to come and assist.

Gao Han also attaches great importance to it. It feels a bit like being on CCTV news broadcast in China. Even his agent Mendes rushed to the scene to accompany him.

According to the arrangement of director Gianni Liotta, the program started by visiting Inter Milan's Pinetina training base and showing some players' training scenes, and then went up to the second floor to visit the coach's office and tactical conference room. , and finally came to the head coach’s office.

Gao Han welcomed their arrival in his office.

In front of the camera, Gao Han skillfully brewed the good tea brought from China and talked face to face with Gianni Liotta on the sofa.

"Mr. Gao Han, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to accept our interview." Gianni Liotta said politely.

"It's my pleasure, Giani." Gao Han replied with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time you have been interviewed by a TV station so formally, right?"

"Well, yes, it's the first time." Gao Han nodded.

"In the past year, there has been a saying in the Italian media circle that interviews with Gao Han are the rarest. It is said that the number of exclusive interviews you have received from TV stations in the past year can be counted on five fingers."

Gao Han chuckled and shook his head, "Mainly because I think a head coach still has to rely on his performance and results on the court to speak for himself, and there are press conferences before and after every game."

"I know, but all the fans, all the reporters, are very interested in knowing more about you, you know, in our eyes, you are too mysterious, you are like a... legend. "

Gianni Liotta's words made Gao Han laugh, but he shook his head and said: "I am not a legend, just a head coach."

"But from your debut to now, you have been invincible. The teams you have led can often achieve shocking results, and everyone has said that you hold the key to defeating the enemy on the court."

"I hope so too." Gao Han chuckled again.

Gianni Liotta felt that this section started well and quickly got to the point.

"Mr. Gao Han, I would like to know, what does football mean to you?"

When Gao Han heard this question, the expression on his face became much more serious. He thought for a moment, "For me, football is already an indispensable part of my life. It's not just about the football field." The ninety-minute game is not just on the training ground, it includes more, and it will appear in my life every day and every night."

"My good friend and colleague of yours, Arrigo Sacchi, said that you are the most shocking coach in European football today. You have subverted the outside world's impression of you time and time again. What do you think? "

Gao Han thought for a while, "Thank you very much for Mr. Saki's evaluation, but I don't think so, because I never thought about shocking people or subverting anything. I have said more than once that my idea is very simple. , always thinking about how to win the next game.”

"Yes." Gianni Oli nodded, "But Mr. Gao Han, there are many head coaches who think so, but so far, you are the only one who has done it. I would like to ask you how you think you did it?"

"This...it's hard to say."

"Is there a secret?"

Gao Han laughed, "There is no secret, it's just that it's too complicated. You know, professional football now has a very clear and detailed division of labor. It's like my coaching team has the most professional goalkeeper coach and the most professional goalkeeper coach." A good physical coach has the best analysts and the best psychological counselors.”

Speaking of this, Gao Han nodded and said: "Many people only saw us winning, but behind the winning are my assistants, the club's administrative staff and staff, as well as all the players, and even countless people on the sidelines. The fans, the results created by everyone’s joint efforts are not due to me alone.”

"But, Mr. Gao Han, during your time at Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, you brought these two teams to the most glorious period in history, and now you are doing the same thing at Inter Milan." Gianni Liotta said.

"It was because I was in the right place at the right time, that's all."

"OK." Gianni Liotta also realized that Gao Han did not intend to say more in this regard, and was obviously unwilling to over-exaggerate his role, or even deify himself like the media and fans.

"Many people outside think that you have a very good relationship with the players. During the European Super Cup, you still maintained a very good relationship with players such as Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Deco and Messi. You How is it done?”

Gao Han smiled, "It's very simple and honest. I always communicate with the players very frankly. I will tell them my ideas and requirements frankly, and they can also put forward their own ideas and requirements. We can sit down and communicate with them." Come down and negotiate.”

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

"I know your wife, she is a very good reporter, but she told me not long ago that it is very painful to go to the World Cup with you, because although you are sitting in the stands, you can't bear it. She felt a lot of pressure to put herself into the role of the coach."

"Haha, occupational disease, really an occupational disease."

"But I can tell she loves you very much."

"Of course, me too."

"Can you tell me about Inter Milan president Moratti? I heard that in order to invite you to Inter Milan, he specifically asked Zaccheroni to stay for one year. Is it true?"

Gao Han shook his head, "I don't know this very well, but Massimo is indeed the most fanatical Inter Milan fan I have ever seen. It was his sincerity that moved me and made me decide to come to Inter Milan, and also It is his sincere trust in me that makes Inter Milan what it is today.”

"OK, speaking of results, I have to mention last season. How would you evaluate the team's performance last season?"

Gao Han thought for a while, "I think that's a good start."

"That's it?" Gianni Liotta was a little surprised.

"Yes, I feel that we did not fully perform at our best level last season. We can still do better, and I believe that Inter Milan will be stronger this season than last season."

"What about the results?"

"I never think too much about it, like I just said, I just care about the next game."

"After the Italian Super Cup, some people said that Inter Milan is the favorite to win the Serie A this season, with a probability of up to 80%. AC Milan and Roma each have 10%. What do you think?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Gao Han smiled and shook his head, "But AC Milan and Roma will indeed be our most powerful opponents in the new season."

"Then what do you think of these two rivals?"

"AC Milan's strength has not weakened. Although Shevchenko left, they introduced Oliveira, and stars such as Kaká, Inzaghi, Gilardino and Pirlo are still there. I think this This team is quite capable.”

After a pause, Gao Han continued: "As for Roma, this is a very impressive team. In the second half of last season, they showed quite strong momentum, which left a very strong impression on me." I am deeply impressed. With the addition of strong players such as Pizarro and Vucinic this season, I believe Roma will perform even better than last season."

"This is similar to outside speculation." Gianni Liotta nodded repeatedly. "In the past many years, Inter Milan has always given people the impression that they appear to be strong but are actually relatively weak. But in the past, In the first season, the Nerazzurri surprised everyone and finally won the championship. What kind of changes do you think the team has undergone?"

"Cohesion, I think." Gao Han thought for a while and replied, "All players are beginning to realize their roles and responsibilities in the team, which makes them more focused, whether in games or training, and Let the team as a whole become more competitive and stronger.”

Gianni Liotta obviously agreed with Gao Han's statement and kept nodding.

"Can you talk about the fans of Inter Milan? Not long ago, in a selection by Gazzetta dello Sport, you became the most popular person in the hearts of Inter Milan fans. Is there anything you want to say to the fans?"

Gao Han chuckled again. He had seen this selection in the newspaper and it was somewhat entertaining.

"I am grateful to all the Inter Milan fans for the love they have shown me. They are a great group of fans who love a great team and are one of the best fans I have ever seen. As the head coach of Inter Milan, I share the same feelings with all the fans. Our goals are the same, we hope that Inter Milan will not only win in the past, but win now, and will continue to win in the future, and we are all working in this direction."

Gianni Liotta kept nodding.

"From the club to presidents Moratti and Facchetti, down to the most ordinary employees, including our coaching staff and players, we have just experienced an extraordinary season, which has united each of us closely, but We are not satisfied because we always believe that we can do better and win more."

"I want to tell our fans that in the new season our goals are clear and we want to win everything."

When he said this, Gao Han looked extremely confident, but soon smiled again, "Of course, in Serie A and the Champions League, there are many teams with the same ambitions as us. It is not easy to win. If you want to achieve this goal, It’s more difficult, but my assistants and I, as well as our players, are well prepared to meet this challenge.”

"And we need all fans to work hard with us and fight side by side!"
