Super Marshal

"I heard that you got angry in the locker room tonight?"

After finishing the game in the afternoon, I just finished eating when I returned home.

Every weekend, Lin Xia will specially fly from Madrid to London to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Gao Han, cook a pot of delicious soup, sit quietly opposite him, rest his chin, and look at him with a smile Have a meal.

Like, it's the one thing she's most proud of.

"Who told you?" Gao Han stopped his chopsticks, but soon, he thought of it.

"Needless to say, it must be Carlos' big mouth."

Cantarero is Gao Han's right-hand man. The two have been working together for four years. They are very familiar with each other and are also good friends. They are also very close to Lin Xia. Sometimes even when Gao Han is busy, Lin Xia will contact Cantarero.

"He also cares about you. You have been under too much pressure recently." Lin Xia smiled.

When Gao Han heard this, he suddenly lost his appetite, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and sighed.

Chelsea has won two championships in a row. It is reasonable to say that it should be full of glory. As the head coach, Gao Han should be very high-spirited, but the current situation does not seem to be the case at all.

The FA Cup and UEFA Cup finals are imminent, and everyone knows that Chelsea's goal is to win these two championships again.

But just two days ago, in an interview with an authoritative British magazine, Abramovich stated in a high-profile manner that the team will win the quadruple championship, otherwise this season will not be considered a success.

This made Gao Han a little dissatisfied. After all, the most important thing now is to reduce pressure, not to exert pressure.

And Abramovich's remarks, although he attracted the attention of the media and made a lot of hype, it also invisibly increased the pressure on the team. After all, he is the owner of the team.

But that's not the point.

What really makes Gao Han feel headache is that the media broke the news recently that Chelsea is secretly contacting Gerrard of Liverpool.

Everyone knows that Gerrard had a very unpleasant fight with Liverpool in order to renew his contract, which even affected his game state. Although both parties compromised later, the problem is still obvious.

As the new rise of this season and the best midfielder in England, Gerrard is hot.

In addition to Gerrard, Gao Han also received wind, Arsenal's Ashley Cole and Vieira, Bayern Munich's Ballack, Real Madrid's Figo, AC Milan's Andriy Shevchenko, Inter Milan's Ke Respo is a Chelsea target.

There is a saying that is true, there is no wind without waves.

Gao Han personally learned about the situation from Abramovich, who categorically denied the rumors outside and promised to notify Gao Han in advance if it really wanted to operate.

In addition, Abramovich also said that the team is working on a contract extension, and that Gao Han's salary and bonus will be increased next season. Make a difference on the field.

Even for Gao Han, it is difficult for him to distinguish the true from the false from the inside and outside.

The only thing that is clear is that Wenger bombarded Chelsea's poaching in the media, and Liverpool are also very dissatisfied with this.

Even Gao Han felt that if he really poached so blatantly, then the management must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

What do you need Ballack, Gerrard and Vieira when you have Deco, Lampard and Veron?

What's more, they didn't meet Gao Han's tactical requirements.

But at this time of internal and external troubles, another Henry appeared.

"Do you know where the biggest gap between Manchester United and Arsenal is?" Gao Han asked suddenly.

Lin Xia thought for a while, then shook her head and asked, "Where is it?"

"A burst of domineering!"

"Domineering?" Lin Xia couldn't understand.

"Yes, the reason why Manchester United are strong is that no matter how strong they are, they always carry a domineering spirit. It was cultivated by Ferguson for many years. It reached its peak in the Triple Crown in 1999, and even now, They are still very well preserved, and have not been weakened by Beckham's departure or the decline in team performance and strength."

"Last season, the reason why Arsenal gave up the league title in the second half was because they lacked the arrogance of Manchester United. temperament."

Lin Xia suddenly understood a little bit.

She had seen Mattayana's column before and heard Dela Morena's commentary program. Both agreed that Atletico Madrid's success this season was due to Heynckes' success in continuing the alpine period. The unique temperament created makes the Sheet Army have a strong belief in winning in every game.

No matter who the opponent is, when they meet them, they will be shorter invisibly.

"The team has performed very well so far, but Henry's sudden appearance has brought some adverse effects to the team, and has hit many players mentally. In the long run, it’s not good.”

"so……"

Gao Han nodded, "The shooter king can be lost, but it must not be lost at this moment."

Lin Xia finally understood what Gao Han meant.

You can lose, but you have to fight until the last moment.

"So, you got angry on purpose?" Lin Xia asked with a sly smile.

Gao Han smiled wryly and shook his head, "A little bit, but I'm really feeling overwhelmed, and I always want to find someone to vent my anger on."

Lin Xia giggled, even daring to admit this, it's too shameful.

But soon, she remembered something again, and her smile disappeared.

"By the way, I don't know if I should tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Gao Han asked strangely.

Lin Xia didn't answer, but looked at Gao Han with those beautiful eyes, which were full of concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, let's talk." As if to prove that he was fine, Gao Han picked up the bowl and chopsticks again.

Lin Xia hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Old Hill has been admitted to the hospital again."

"Oh, admitted to the hospital again." Gao Han smiled, "Old problem?"

He is used to it.

As early as when he was coaching Atletico Madrid, Old Hill's health was relatively poor, and admission to the hospital was a common occurrence.

"Yeah." Lin Xia nodded, "But this time I'm afraid..."

Gao Han shook his hands, and suddenly looked up at Lin Xia, he couldn't believe it, but when he saw Lin Xia's affirmative eyes again, his hands felt weak for a while, and he put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and sighed a long time tone.

For the chairman of Atletico Madrid, he is still very grateful, because if it was not for the old Hill who gave him the opportunity, he would not have taken the position so quickly, and when he was coaching Atletico Madrid, the old Hill and the management also gave him His heart-to-heart trust gave him an extremely relaxed coaching environment.

Compared with the current Chelsea, he really felt this point.

But suddenly I heard the news...

"I'm going to make a phone call."

After finishing speaking, Gao Han turned around to pick up the phone and called Xiao Xie.

After receiving Gao Han's call, Xiao Xier was very happy.

Although Gao Han no longer coaches Atletico Madrid, they are still good friends with a close past.

Regarding Old Hill's condition, Xiao Hill reassured Gao Han on the phone that his condition was temporarily stable, but it was not hard to hear from his words that Old Hill's situation was far from ideal.

"The old man was very happy when he heard that the team had drawn Monaco. He felt that there was hope for defending the Champions League." Little Hill laughed.

"Well, there is indeed a good chance of winning." Gao Han thought so too.

Among the teams entering the semi-finals, Atletico Madrid is the strongest and has the greatest chance of winning. Whether it is Monaco, Porto or Deportivo, they are all slightly inferior to Atletico Madrid.

"The old man also said that if you are here, then you are sure to win."

Gao Han smiled, but felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

"Then you tell the old man, I'll go see him when I can get away from here."

"Well, don't worry, there is no danger for the time being." Xiao Xier comforted.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it's the final stage of the season, and the games are one after another, almost twice a week, and he really can't get out. He can only wait until the league is over before he can go to Madrid to see.

He was relieved to hear that Old Hill's condition was stable.

Now, what worries him the most is the battle for the top shooter.

I don't know if his fire in the locker room can wake up the players and let them regain their spirits.

The UEFA Cup semi-final will be played in the middle of the week. The opponent is Newcastle first away and then the host. In the middle of the two rounds, there is the 35th round of the Premier League.

The Magpies have not performed very well this season. They are currently ranked sixth in the Premier League. In the first round of the league matchup between the two sides, Chelsea won 5-0 at home, so Gao Han is still sure of winning.

The only concern is Eto'o.

If the Cameroon striker surrenders early and surrenders now, it will not be a good thing for him or Chelsea.

"I hope he can live up to it!" Gao Han thought in his heart.

…………

…………

Newcastle did not perform well this season, and they were even more unlucky in the second half.

Several main players, including Dyer, were injured, which damaged the Magpies' combat effectiveness, and the conflict between the team's main center Alan Shearer and head coach Robson was getting deeper and deeper, and the team's internal doubts about Robson Also getting bigger and bigger.

The Magpies are currently ranked fourth in the Premier League, but they are only one point ahead of fifth place Liverpool and two points ahead of sixth place Aston Villa. It is to face Liverpool.

Therefore, Newcastle's internal strategy is also very clear, and they will do their best to keep fourth in the league.

As for the UEFA Cup, it is good to have it, but there is nothing to regret if it does not.

Therefore, in the midweek game against Chelsea at home, Robson did not line up the main lineup, but chose to rotate.

Chelsea also did not play the main force, and Gao Han also chose to rotate, but the thickness of the Blues' bench is obviously stronger than that of Newcastle, so at St. James' Park, with the goals of Lampard and Ronaldinho, the second game Zero defeated the opponent.

This battle also basically determined that Chelsea will enter the UEFA Cup final.

But everyone can see that both sides are a little absent-minded.

Chelsea even hid five main players including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Eto'o and Deco, making it clear that they want to stay focused on the next 35th round of the Premier League.

The British media and even ordinary fans have felt Gao Han's determination to compete for the top scorer in the league.

Therefore, many media have reported that Gao Han's move was too impulsive, only caring about personal gains and losses, and did not take into account the overall situation of the team, that is, if Chelsea wins, if they lose to Newcastle, it will not be worth the loss.

But there are also many Chelsea fans who strongly support Gao Han's behavior, thinking that Gao Han must be sure if he dares to do this.

Besides, the honor of the top scorer has been snatched for a whole season. Could it be that now, they have to admit defeat in advance?
