Super Marshal

"Haha, welcome to Covelciano, Mr. Gaohan."

"It would be my pleasure, Renzo."

As soon as he entered the training base, Renzo Ulivieri led the crowd to welcome him. Students from the coaching training class, coaches who had heard about it, and media reporters who had been waiting for a long time also swarmed over.

The atmosphere at the entire scene was unparalleled.

But what surprised Gao Han the most was that he saw many old acquaintances next to Renzo Ulivieri.

Lippi, the silver fox who had just led the Italian national team to win the World Cup, came up to him with a smile, "I'm very much looking forward to hearing your speech, Gao Han."

"I'm stressed out by your arrival, Marcello."

Lippi laughed and patted Gao Han on the shoulder, looking like an old friend, which surprised the reporters.

Unexpectedly, Gao Han has quite a lot of friends.

"Welcome to Florence." Prandelli also came over and shook hands with Gao Han.

He is the head coach of Florence, and the Covelciano base of the Italian national team is near the Florence training base. It is just at the intersection where you just turned in, and it is only a few steps away.

"Thank you, Cesare."

Gao Han also had a very good impression of Prandelli. Many of the coach's ideas are very close to his, but he is more rational. However, both of them agreed that Italy's youth training needs reform and the style needs to change. On the basis of the original focus on defense, more elements of ball control and offense are added.

Fiorentina under the coaching of Prandelli is indeed the team in Serie A, apart from Inter Milan and AC Milan, with the smoothest playing style and the most flawless offense. What is even more rare is that in addition to excellent offense, the defense is also excellent. Very strict.

This also led to Gao Han and Prandelli having similar interests. He had previously voted for the coach of Florence.

In addition to Lippi and Prandelli, many football celebrities including former Juventus captain Conte and Udinese assistant coach Allegri also gathered in Coverciano, which made Gao Han one by one It took quite a while to meet and get to know them.

However, what surprised Gao Han the most was the German national team coach Loew, who came specially from Germany.

The former Klinsmann assistant has been controversial since he took over the German national team last year, and was even considered to be Klinsmann's shadow. In addition, the German Football Association only signed a two-year contract with him, resulting in He was under great pressure.

However, after he took over, the German national team has won consecutive victories and achieved good results.

It is relatively easy when the national team does not have competitions, so Loew has time to come to Coverciano.

After meeting Gao Han, Loew specially introduced two German compatriots to Gao Han. One was the head coach of Mainz in the Bundesliga, Jurgen Klopp, and the other was the little-known Oger. Thomas Tuchel, head coach of the youth team of Fortuna.

But Gao Han had never even heard of these two people.

Klopp, on the other hand, was quite enthusiastic about Gao Han and even wanted to ask some football questions on the spot. Fortunately, Loew stopped him in time and avoided some embarrassment.

"Let's have a good chat when we have the opportunity." Gao Han smiled and comforted the strong German man.

Klopp nodded hurriedly, indicating that he would visit in person.

In addition to Germany, interested coaches from Spain, France, the United Kingdom and other European countries came to the scene, and even the UEFA Coaches Association arranged for people to attend.

In Ulivieri's words, it was the most popular speech Covelciano had ever given.

The Italian media at the scene also recorded all this and prepared it for future reports.

…………

…………

Perhaps considering the large number of people present, Coverciano temporarily cleared a space and arranged it as a venue.

Under the greeting of Ulivieri and witnessed by everyone present, Gao Han accepted the heavy Golden Chair Award.

This is the only foreign head coach to win this award in the past ten years.

When Gao Han took it from Ulivieri and raised it high, the entire venue burst into applause.

And when Gao Han put down the trophy and walked to the main podium, the scene fell into deathly silence again.

Even Ulivieri retreated to his seat, and many people in the venue took out notes one after another. They all looked at Gao Han on the stage attentively. All media reporters were also full of expectations.

Gao Han stood on the main podium and looked at everything in front of him, feeling proud in his heart.

When these people go out, each one of them is a famous person respected and respected by the outside world, but now they are all sitting here listening to his speech.

Perhaps, in the future, they will become head coaches, or even famous coaches, and then they will mention to others what happened in this Covelciano base in 2007.

He knew very well that media reporters and fans only cared about him winning the Golden Seat Award, but the most important thing today was his speech.

This was one of his pilgrimages to Covelciano.

After brewing his emotions for a while, Gao Han decided to start.

"In the past two months, I haven't slept well. I have always been very nervous and doubtful about my virtues and abilities. Being able to stand here and share my coaching experience with everyone is a great thing for me. an honor.”

There was a burst of applause at the scene.

Who says it's not?

As a head coach, how many people dream of being on this podium?

This is the palace of Italian football and the palace of coaches from all over the world.

"When it comes to tactics, frankly speaking, everyone here must be better than me. As for training, everyone knows that most of the training I lead is done by my assistants. I am only responsible for supervising, so I don't think , I am qualified to share my experience with you in these two aspects.”

Everyone nodded or shook their heads, obviously not believing Gao Han's remarks, which seemed too modest to them.

"The management of the locker room has always been a basic course that all coaches must learn, and it has always been regarded by all coaches as one of the most important coaching abilities. Even we are very clear that the management of the locker room directly affects How competitive a team is on the court.”

"In the past, someone once asked me, Gao Han, why can your team keep winning? Why does the team you coach never have problems? How do you manage your players and let them Are you so obedient and obedient to your orders?"

"Someone even asked me, are you Harry Potter?"

There was a burst of laughter in the venue, obviously amused by Gao Han's last sentence.

"Actually, I really don't know magic, and I'm not Harry Potter."

"We have always known that football is not a science. It has many factors that cannot be explained by science and cannot be quantified by data. Otherwise, I can guarantee that our German friends will win all the championships."

The audience burst into laughter, and Loew and others from Germany also smiled.

Everyone knows that what Germany is best at is rigorous and precise scientific research.

As Gao Han said, if football is a science, the Germans will definitely win the championship.

"Football involves human body studies, psychology, and social relations..."

"It's so complex and complicated, it's like a puzzle that can never be solved. The deeper you go, the more profound and fascinating it becomes."

Everyone nodded unanimously, it was indeed the case.

"The great leader of my motherland, ***, once said this: Fighting with others brings endless joy."

The scene once again burst into warm applause.

In the final analysis, professional football is a struggle between people.

"Rousseau once said that man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains."

"Modern psychological research tells us that humans are powerful, but humans are weak, so humans are social animals, so human psychology always tends to be bound by orderly rules and disciplines. A stable job and a few regular friends can easily give people a sense of belonging.”

"People are always very contradictory. On the one hand, they long for freedom, but on the other hand, they want the security brought by order and discipline. This is the real society we live in now."

"That's the reality, and that's the case with a team. It's like a microcosm of society as a whole."

"Our players are eager to gain freedom, show their individuality, play freely on the court, and become the center of attention. Avoid those troublesome projects on the training ground. It is best to practice one day at a time, or even take a break, but on the other hand, On the other hand, they are eager to be recognized by their teammates, integrate into the entire team as soon as possible, and use the overall strength of the team to achieve success."

"With the advancement of the technological era and the development of professional football, our players are exposed to more and more temptations, and the external interference and influence they receive are becoming more and more difficult to guard against. We will find that players are becoming more and more difficult to manage, but The psychological essence of the players themselves has not changed much, and they are still struggling between freedom and restraint.”

"As a coach of a team, we should clearly grasp the ambivalence of the players and guide them so that they can better integrate into the team as a whole, not only to meet their requirements for self-discipline, but also to be able to pass through The overall discipline and order give them a sense of belonging and security.”

“These two aspects complement each other and promote each other.”

"So, next, I will start my speech today around these two aspects."

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, a burst of thunderous applause broke out again.

Everyone can clearly feel that what he discussed at the beginning of this paragraph is full of practical information, which will be of great benefit to each of them in their future coaching, because he has hit the pain points of many current head coaches.

Ferguson once said that today's players have become increasingly disobedient to discipline.

Many famous coaches have also mentioned that young players are not as obedient as the old players in the past. They all have unique personalities, full of doubts, and even rebellious psychology.

Gao Han is the youngest but also the most successful head coach in European football. It is undoubtedly very appropriate and very practical for him to talk about the player management philosophy of the new era.

Gao Han was also full of sincerity. From the negotiations before the introduction of players to the subsequent proper placement, he gave a very thorough explanation. In particular, he highlighted AC Milan's outstanding work in player placement, and also mentioned his contribution to some international big players. The company has put forward some very in-depth and practical ideas and measures as a reference for the company's placement of employees.

He believes that a player's sense of belonging and security begins when they first come into contact with the team's system, but this is precisely what most professional teams in Europe do not pay attention to.

In addition, Gao Han also talked about the daily management of the team and the team's technical and tactical arrangements based on actual cases. He emphasized the need to establish rules first and treat all players equally. He also emphasized that the head coach should take advantage of the situation and take precautions in time. importance, believing that players' sense of belonging and security are built up bit by bit over time.

It is difficult to build and maintain, but it can be destroyed with just a few clicks.

This made everyone at the scene marvel and admire Gao Han even more.

There have been a lot of things going on recently. If I didn't have to, I would definitely not ask for leave. I hope everyone can understand me!
