Super Marshal

Unknowingly, time has entered October.

In the fifth round of La Liga, after defeating Malaga 2-0 in an away game, it ushered in the national team competition period.

Atletico Madrid, which has been fighting on multiple fronts, finally ushered in a respite.

But two weeks later, on October 19, the league reignited, and Atlético Madrid welcomed Rafa Benítez's Valencia at home.

From La Liga to La Liga, although Gao Han and Benitez did not have a deep relationship, they are very familiar with each other.

At the Calderón Stadium, the former was the main attacker and the latter was the main defender. The two teams fought in the dark. In the end, with Kiko's key lore, Atletico Madrid beat Valencia 1-0 at home.

Three days later, the team traveled to France, away to Lens.

Only fifteen minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid took the lead in breaking the goal of Lens by Villa, opening the scoring for the Sheets.

Although the Lens team had the upper hand in the second half, Atletico Madrid quickly overwhelmed the Ligue 1 team and scored two goals in a row, eventually winning Lens 3-0 away.

But Hitzfeld's Bayern Munich was not so lucky.

As a guest at the San Siro Stadium, the Bundesliga Banba did not get out of the previous downturn, conceding a goal in just 11 minutes of the opening.

Although the score was equalized afterwards, in the 64th minute of the second half, Inzaghi's lore goal made Bayern Munich return from the San Siro Stadium.

This shocked the entire European football world.

Who would have thought that Bayern Munich, who were the favorites to win the championship before the game and threatened to reach the top of Europe again, would encounter four rounds of defeat in the group stage.

This also triggered a strong wave of reflection in the Bundesliga football and Bayern Munich, and finally pointed the finger at Hitzfeld and the team's weak defense.

In the same group, Atletico Madrid won the first place in the group with four consecutive victories.

AC Milan has three wins and one loss, and scored nine points, ranking second in the group.

Both Bayern Munich and Lens only scored one point, basically losing their qualifications to qualify for the group stage.

For the team's early exit, Bayern Munich was dismal.

Chairman Beckenbauer said in an interview with the media that the team still supports Heathfield. He also said that being out of the Champions League is not the end of the world, but Bayern Munich needs to learn from it.

At the same time, the football emperor also asked Heathfield and his team to come up with an adjustment plan as soon as possible to ensure the third place in the group.

But a week later, Bayern Munich was a guest at the Calderon Stadium, one to two, and returned home again.

Atlético de Madrid, who had already qualified in the group ahead of schedule, did not show mercy in the game. Although Gao Han arranged a rotation, the Sheets Legion still showed a stronger aggressiveness than Bayern Munich.

The players of the Bundesliga Banba did not show a strong desire to win in the game, but played a little lazy.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid, who had already qualified ahead of schedule and played with a semi-main lineup, behaved more like an iron-blooded German army.

This disappointed Bayern Munich from top to bottom.

Especially after the game, when Gao Han saw the football emperor Beckenbauer who was traveling with the team in the player tunnel, the latter directly wrote his mood after losing the game on his face.

…………

…………

"Congratulations, Mr. Gao Han."

"Thank you, Mr. Beckenbauer."

At the corner of the player tunnel, the two shook hands warmly.

"Mr. Beckenbauer, the visiting team's locker room is here." Gao Han thought he was going to find a Bayern Munich player.

Unexpectedly, Beckenbauer shook his head and smiled, "No, no, Mr. Gao Han, I came here specially to find you."

"Looking for me?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

Beckenbauer nodded with a smile, "I know you like to be straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. We heard that your contract with Atletico Madrid is only signed until the end of this season."

As soon as Gao Han heard it, he immediately understood, and a surge of excitement surged into his heart.

Bayern Munich... oh my god...

Beckenbauer is extending an olive branch to himself!

This is the first European football team to be invited by the top management of the club, especially a top giant like Bayern Munich. Who can't be moved?

Beckenbauer also had a panoramic view of the change in Gao Han's expression, and he knew it, and smiled: "I have known you to many people, and they all agreed that although you are young, you are good enough for any team, and you are in Madrid. The competitive coaching also makes us full of confidence."

"Thank you." Gao Han nodded.

Gao Han is really flattered to get such a high evaluation from the football emperor.

As for the person who strongly recommended himself to Beckenbauer, Gao Han first thought of Heynckes.

"As you know, we have encountered many problems this season, including Ottmar, we all feel that the team should change, and we are one of the most professional and complete management teams in Europe. It is possible to create a more relaxed coaching environment for the head coach, there is no doubt about it.”

Beckenbauer spoke neither light nor heavy, neither urgent nor slow, very calm and comfortable to listen to.

Gao Han kept nodding, he was a little confused.

Coaching Bayern Munich?

Although Bayern Munich's defense this season is quite bad, the strength of the midfield is quite good. If they can get strong support from the management and further promote the metabolism of the team's lineup, they will definitely be able to quickly improve their strength in the short term.

What's more, with Bayern Munich's financial power and influence in the Bundesliga, isn't any star within reach?

But Gao Han is no longer the Gao Han of the past.

He quickly pulled away from the surprise, calmed down, and nodded steadily towards Beckenbauer: "Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Beckenbauer, but you know, I still have a contract with Atletico Madrid." , all my energy and time are now devoted to the Atletico Madrid game."

Beckenbauer has been paying attention to the changes in Gao Han's expression. As a professional player and coach, he knows better than anyone that a head coach's stability is very important.

And Gao Han showed surprise in the face of Bayern Munich's invitation, Beckenbauer was not surprised at all.

It would probably be like this for anyone.

But Gao Han was able to calm down so quickly and regain his usual calmness, which was beyond Beckenbauer's expectation.

Especially his answer made Beckenbauer believe that he will be a trustworthy head coach.

"Of course, Mr. Gao Han, we can understand." Beckenbauer nodded.

With that said, the Football Emperor took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to Gao Han with both hands.

Gao Han quickly stretched out his hands and took it, not daring to push it too hard.

"This is my business card, I welcome you to call me anytime."

After a polite smile, Beckenbauer greeted him, turned around and left.

Gao Han stood where he was, watching him walk around the corner and disappeared.

If it wasn't for the business card still in his hand, he would have thought that he was dreaming.

Bayern Munich?

Oh Mecca!

…………

…………

After a hasty meeting with Beckenbauer, Gao Han went back to the locker room to deal with some matters, then attended the post-match press conference, and then had a drink with Heathfield in an office at the Calderon Stadium.

This is the promise he made before, once he wins the game, buy him a drink.

And it was also a good wine sent by Heynckes from the north of Spain.

But for Gao Han and Heathfield, they are somewhat suspected of chewing peonies.

On the contrary, it was Heathfield's words that surprised Gao Han.

"It turned out to be you?" Gao Han lost his voice.

In any case, he never thought that it was Hitzfeld who recommended himself to the Bayern Munich management.

But Hitzfeld seemed to have done a very trivial thing, "I just feel that I have stayed in Bayern Munich for too long, and I am a little bored. I want to find someone to take over quickly so that I can get out."

At the end, he himself laughed.

But that sounds more like an excuse.

"However, I heard that they also got to know you from Heynckes, and Heynckes has a very high opinion of you."

This is not surprising. Naturally, one has to be careful when choosing a handsome man.

However, Gao Han was really a little surprised, and Heathfield's heart is really admirable.

"Of course, for you, this is a rare opportunity, but it is also a challenge."

Heathfield reminded earnestly, "You know, in a wealthy team, it is no better than Atletico Madrid. There are superstars in the team, there are big-name players, there are also a group of backbones, and rookies. This is very demanding for the head coach's locker room management. .”

"Besides, there are pros and cons to coaching giants. The advantage is that once you succeed, you will be worth a hundred times. But the disadvantages are also terrible. You are always fighting against the pressure. There are countless coaches who have never recovered after the collapse of the giants."

"So, before accepting this challenge, I suggest you carefully consider whether you are ready."

Gao Han agrees with Heathfield's exhortation.

The reason why he rejected Barcelona at the beginning was because he thought he was not qualified enough to suppress the superstars in the Barcelona team. Now, facing Bayern Munich, which is also a wealthy team, is he really ready?

From Beckenbauer's words, we can indeed feel that the management will give strong support, but whether Gao Han will be allowed to act in the locker room will be arbitrary, even if there are conflicts between Gao Han and local superstars such as Ballack and Kahn. , Whether the management will continue to support Gao Han is probably unknown.

With a character like Heathfield, it is difficult to perform in Bayern Munich this season. Can Gao Han do better?

"Think about it for yourself."

Heathfeld drank the wine, took two bottles of wine along with him, and left contentedly.

Gao Han still sat there, deep in thought.

Before he knew it, this was his third year at Atletico Madrid.

Based on Atletico Madrid's performance in the past three years, it will be a matter of time before they are poached by a wealthy team.

Because the Sheets Corps needs funds to improve the treatment of players, it needs to transform a more complete training base, it needs to build a brand new home stadium, it needs to build a more complete youth training system, it needs...

These are the foundations of Atletico Madrid's status as a giant.

Can Gao Han accept the star he cultivated so hard, but in the end he was sent to other teams to become his opponent?

Also, the better the team performed and the faster the players improved, the more Gao Han worried about when the nightmare of prosperity and decline would come to him.

This is the law of football, and it is inevitable for anyone, including him Gaohan.
