Super Marshal

The locker room at Aldervilla Stadium is very simple, with a wall separating the coaches' dugout and the players' dugout.

Pochettino sat facing the door of the locker room, listening to the sounds of the players discussing from next door.

Ramirez's red card was indeed unnecessary, but the leader had already received it and it could not change the status quo. Therefore, the players were more discussing how to play in the second half.

Although Marcos Senna only joined during the winter break, his qualifications are there and he has superior strength. He naturally became the boss of the team's locker room and the team's captain.

But now, his attitude is very clear, he can only fight to the end.

But Pochettino kept looking at the door and sat there motionless.

He is waiting.

As the team's head coach, he has always been trusted and supported, but the situation is obviously different now. The home game against Sares is related to whether the team can successfully advance to the first division. Now the situation is a one-to-one draw. However, the Chinatown team has one less player than its opponent, and the situation is very unfavorable.

As the soul leader of the team, will Gao Han show up?

At this critical moment, will he still support himself as always? Will he intervene in the team's competitive affairs?

You know, Gao Han himself is the most outstanding head coach in Europe and even the world. Coaching is what he is best at. Pochettino himself feels ashamed. In this case, Gao Han intervenes in the team and does his best. It seems natural to help the team win.

But as a head coach, Pochettino didn't want Gao Han to do this.

The reason is simple, he is the head coach of the Chinatown team.

Although he is not as good as Gao Han, although he may not be sure of winning, he is the head coach of this team.

He wants to get the respect he deserves and the dignity he deserves as the head coach of the team.

So, he sat there, very uneasy and uneasy.

He admires and even worships Gao Han, so at this critical moment, he hopes that Gao Han can appear in front of him, talk to him, and analyze the current situation, but he is also very afraid of Gao Han's appearance.

Because he knew that as long as Gao Han appeared in this locker room, his authority as the head coach would be greatly challenged.

Gao Han is a born king, especially the owner of the club. Everyone listens to him as a matter of course, including Pochettino.

Just when Pochettino was uneasy, the door to the dressing room was suddenly pushed open.

At that moment, the Argentine coach jumped up from his seat.

But in fact, it was his right-hand man, goalkeeping coach Tony Jimenez, who opened the locker room door.

"What's wrong?" Tony Jimenez was a little surprised. He had such a big reaction. What happened?

Pochettino's eyes flickered and he shook his head, "No...it's nothing."

Tony Jimenez thought he was under too much pressure and didn't take it to heart.

"You...where have you been?" Pochettino asked.

He and Tony Jimenez were teammates in the Espanyol team. The latter once played for Atletico Madrid and once played as the main force under Gao Han for a period of time until Peter Cech joined the team and was replaced.

It was also from Tony Jimenez that Pochettino first learned about the magical cold.

"I went to get a glass of water, and guess who I met?" Tony Jimenez smiled, looking a little excited.

"High cold?" Pochettino guessed.

"Ha, I can't hide it from you. I met the boss. He also went to drink water. He shouted for the whole half. His mouth was dry and his throat was almost on fire." Tony Jimenez laughed.

Pochettino's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "Then now he..."

"Go back," Tony Jimenez said.

"Going back to where?" Pochettino was surprised again.

"Of course he went back to the stands." Tony Jimenez was a little surprised. "Otherwise, where do you think he went back?"

Pochettino was a little stunned, but soon smiled bitterly, but couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

He really wants to know Gao Han's analysis of the game situation at this moment, so that he can know how far he is from the top coach and learn more.

But he felt very touched.

Because he knew that Gao Han would not come.

This is the greatest trust in him.

Also as the team's head coach, Gao Han used this way to tell him that the club supported him unconditionally and trusted him, allowing him to give it a try as he pleased.

These words are not just words, the club will practice them to the end.

After thinking about it, Pochettino felt a little ashamed, because his worries just now were somewhat of a villain.

It turns out that Gao Han trusts him more than he imagined.

"What's wrong?" Tony Jimenez obviously didn't have as many random thoughts as Pochettino.

Pochettino took a deep breath and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just think it's time to counterattack."

With that said, the Argentine coach walked directly to the players' dugout next door.

At this time, all the players were ready and waiting for him.

"Guys, we have no way out!"

…………

…………

The game restarted in the second half, and the Chinatown team did not make any substitutions.

But what is surprising is that at the beginning of the game, the home team Chinatown, which was missing one player, took the lead in launching a crazy attack on Sares, which made all the fans in the stands very excited.

Gao Han also stood up from his seat, applauded vigorously, and cheered loudly.

He knew that his choice was right.

There is an old Chinese saying, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.

As a head coach, the last thing he wants to encounter is someone interfering with his formation, even if this person is indeed better than himself and has a higher status than himself.

Therefore, he chose to support Pochettino unconditionally.

This round of Pochettino's attack forced Sares to avoid its edge.

Chinatown is the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the Spanish Second Division. Once they attack, any team has to deal with it carefully, let alone this at the Aldervilla Stadium.

Just eight minutes into the second half, the Chinatown team once again broke through Sares' goal.

The continuous attack in the frontcourt was cleared by Sares out of the penalty area, but Marcos Senna stepped in and hit a long shot, allowing the Chinatown team to exceed the score again.

This goal also sent the entire Aldervilla Stadium into complete madness.

Gao Han also applauded vigorously, but at the same time he also warned his players in his heart not to retreat.

There is a saying that goes well: once you gain momentum, it will fade again, and then you will be exhausted.

The Chinatown team itself had one less player than its opponent and was leading by one goal. If they retreated now, it would be difficult for them to survive the remaining half hour or so.

Therefore, at the very least, you should take advantage of the opponent's chaos to score another one, and then concentrate on counterattacking.

Pochettino's calculations were indeed the same as Gao Han's. When the team was celebrating a goal, he kept shouting at the players, beckoning them to get back to the game.

After the game restarted, the Chinatown team still did not retreat and continued to press aggressively. They launched a fierce frontcourt press against Sares, forcing the Segunda Division leader to make frequent mistakes in passing and receiving.

In the 61st minute, Sares made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. Schneiderlin stole the ball. Aubameyang moved the ball to the left. Alba quickly stepped in, grabbed the ball and passed with his left foot. Falcao's header flew past the point, and Diego Costa followed up and scored in one fell swoop, giving the Chinatown team another victory, three to one!

After scoring two goals in a row, the Chinatown team also showed surprising momentum.

But there was one less player than the opponent on the field, and the attack could not last long, so Pochettino quickly made adjustments.

Midfielder Koke replaced Aubameyang, and the team switched to a 432 formation, focusing on defensive counterattacks.

A few minutes later, he replaced Diego Costa with Mkhitaryan.

As soon as the Chinatown team retreated, Sares quickly pressed forward and launched attacks frequently. However, the Chinatown team stayed in their own half, leaving almost only Falcao roaming in the frontcourt, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

The game between the two sides was very close. Facing the Chinatown team's tenacious defense, Sares could not find a chance to make a move for a while.

It was not until the 80th minute that the Chinatown team showed a flaw after their physical fitness declined. Sares seized the opportunity and scored a goal, rewriting the score to 2-3.

But after that, Sares never equalized the score.

In the end, the Chinatown team defeated Sares 3-2 at home.

When the final whistle sounded, the entire Aldervilla Stadium cheered.

All the fans were celebrating the rare victory crazily.

There was one less player than the opponent, but they held on until the end of the game. This victory was definitely a reward for the Chinatown team who fought to the end.

Gao Han also applauded vigorously in the stands and gave a thumbs up to the players and coach Pochettino in the stadium.

"Such a game can greatly boost the team's morale, and at the same time, it can also greatly inspire the team's growth and progress."

Cantarero understands what Gao Han means. As one of the youngest teams in the Second Division, Chinatown needs to continue to improve.

With the team's current performance, even if they can't make it back to La Liga this year, they will definitely be able to do so next year.

Soon, the results of several other games in this round of La Liga were also released.

Zaragoza won 3-0 away from home, Tenerife won 1-0 away from home, Rayo Vallecano lost 1-2 at home to Elche, while Hercules drew 0-0 away from home.

After playing this round of games, Sares still scored 75 points, Tenerife scored 72 points, Zaragoza scored 71 points, Chinatown team scored 69 points, and Hecu scored 71 points. Rice was sixty-eight points.

In other words, after this round, the Chinatown team's ranking has improved a step, ranking fourth in the league.

Judging from the current league situation, it is unlikely to catch up with Sares, but there is still a lot of hope to squeeze into the top three in the league. After all, there are still three rounds left, and everything is still possible.

Neither Cantarero nor Armando Marcos expected that the team would play so well, especially at the start of the second half, which made them even more impressed and praised Pochettino even more.

"Can you go to the locker room now?" Cantarero asked with a smile.

Only now did he really understand why Gao Han refused to go to the locker room during halftime. Regardless of the game process, the game results, or even the subsequent long-term impact, Gao Han's choice was the wisest. of.

I believe that after tonight's game, Pochettino will have more faith in the trust and support of the club and Gao Han.

After Gao Han stopped what Cantarero said, he laughed.

"Go, of course I have to go. I not only go to the locker room to encourage our players and coaching staff, but I also want to reward them."

When Cantarero and Armando Marcos both looked puzzled, Gao Han took the initiative to solve the puzzle.

"Ha, let me treat you to dinner tonight!"
