Super Marshal

"I have some good news for you."

In Madrid, the hotel where Inter Milan stayed, the visiting Atletico Madrid general manager Xiao Hill smiled slightly.

"What's the good news?" Gao Han asked angrily.

In order to better prepare for the Champions League knockout rounds, Inter Milan even arrived in Madrid one day early and checked into a hotel here. Unexpectedly, when the three giants of Atletico Madrid heard the news, they came to the hotel early the next morning to visit. Gao Han, Xiao Hill mysteriously said there was some good news, would Gao Han believe it?

"I'm telling you, it's absolutely true, not even a little bit untrue." Xiao Hill emphasized.

"Then say it." Gao Han urged with a smile.

"According to reliable information, I heard that Capello had a big quarrel with the management and even offered to resign."

"What?" Gao Han was a little surprised and suddenly became interested, "So serious? What's going on?"

"I heard that too, but it may not be true."

"Nonsense, hurry up." Gao Han urged, he seriously suspected that this guy was deliberately showing off.

Hill smiled and nodded, "I heard it was because Mijatovic asked Capello to beat Inter Milan at the Bernabeu Stadium, but Capello said he couldn't do it, and the two got into a fight. Capello even resigned on the spot."

When Gao Han heard this, his eyes narrowed, this was a bit interesting.

With Real Madrid's performance this season and the strength of this team, do you want to defeat Inter Milan at home?

He really didn't know whether he should praise Mijatovic for his ambition, or whether he should say that he was too ambitious and unrealistic.

"After hearing about this incident, both parties took a step back, but there is no doubt that Capello will do his best to win, so there is news that Beckham will return to the starting lineup for the game."

Blocking Beckham has been a major event that caused a lot of fuss in the past period.

Mainly because of the contract renewal issue, Beckham asked the management to fulfill the promise made by Florentino to him and return his image rights, but the management refused. The contract renewal negotiations between the two parties broke down, and then it was reported that Beckham Ham privately contacted the Major League Baseball team, but the management and Capello banned Beckham in anger.

From an outsider's perspective, this ban is not beneficial to both parties. It can be said to be a lose-lose situation for both parties.

But if Capello is under pressure and lets Beckham return to the starting lineup, it will be a big improvement to Real Madrid's strength.

Although Beckham is not the type of player like Zidane and Ronaldo, his role in the current Real Madrid team is quite obvious, especially his passing and free kicks, and he also works very hard on defense.

But Gao Han quickly put this matter aside.

In his view, regardless of whether Real Madrid arranges for Beckham to start, Inter Milan must try its best to win on the road.

"What I'm more curious about is why Mijatovic actively provokes us over and over again?" Gao Han was puzzled by this, even a little strange.

I believe that any normal person will feel that many of Mijatovic's words are bluff, and some of his actions can be regarded as a clown.

But why did he do this?

"In the final analysis, I still want to divert the conflict." Cerezo shook his head and laughed, obviously disdainful of Mijatovic.

"Real Madrid is currently ranked fourth in the league. This is simply unacceptable for them, and everyone can see clearly that Calderon and Mijatovic simply do not have the ability to fulfill their original campaign promises. So, if they don’t want to be pursued by the fans and the board of directors for old debts, the best way is to deflect the conflict."

Having said this, Cerezo looked at Gao Han and smiled slightly, "You said, what else in today's football is more attractive and more exciting for fans than defeating you and Inter Milan?"

After Gao Han heard this, he finally understood a little bit.

I bet the draw from the top 16 of the Champions League indirectly helped them.

"In the six months since they took charge of Real Madrid, their competitive performance has declined instead of rising. The business operations are also in a mess. The brand licensing that Florentino originally attached great importance to has been messed up by them. If this continues, it won't take long. , Real Madrid’s commercial brand will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later.”

Gao Han smiled bitterly, a little confused, why would Real Madrid fans choose these two people?

What did Calderon have before?

Although Mijatovic is a famous player in the past and played a huge tactical role in the Real Madrid team under Capello and Heynckes, how many people still remember him except for the goal in the Champions League final?

"You, you'd better be careful. Capello is a top coach after all. He's really being pushed..."

Rabbits will bite when they are anxious, let alone Capello?

Gao Han also understands why Atletico Madrid's three giants care about this game.

After losing the La Liga title for two seasons, Atletico Madrid is eager to regain the league title from Barcelona this season. If Inter Milan can defeat Real Madrid in this game, it will be a great boost to their Madrid derby on the weekend. , so they came to visit Gao Han early in the morning.

"Don't worry, whether it's public or private, I will definitely win this game!" Gao Han said fiercely.

February 20, 2007, 20:30 in the evening.

There are still about ten minutes before the start of the game, but the Bernabeu Stadium is already full.

Tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans gathered together, just to enjoy the upcoming luxury feast.

They were looking forward to it, but also nervous.

But the most uneasy ones are club chairman Calderon and general manager Mijatovic.

Both of them knew the importance of this game. If they lost, they would probably have to pay a heavy price.

"Coming." Mijatovich reminded softly.

I saw Sanchez, the director of Real Madrid's commercial department, accompanying two guests from the VIP channel of the President's Stand.

Surprisingly, it was Adidas executives Gunter Weigel and Jan Runo who had visited the Bernabeu a few days ago.

These two cautious Germans suddenly asked to come to the scene to watch the game yesterday, catching Real Madrid's management off guard.

But at this time, people were coming, so I had to bite the bullet and go up to them.

"Haha, you two, welcome to the Bernabeu."

"Thank you, Mr. Calderon."

After meeting and being polite, the two Adidas executives were also amazed by the grand occasion at the Bernabeu Stadium.

"Can you have so many fans at every game?" Gunter Weigel asked.

When Sanchez was about to answer not necessarily, Mijatovic smiled first and said: "Absolutely. Although this is a strong dialogue and more attractive, there are basically no vacancies on weekdays."

Having said this, Mijatovic chuckled and said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Real Madrid fans should be considered the most loyal fans in the world, but they should also be the most picky fans."

These words were immediately recognized by the two top executives of Adidas, which is also recognized.

"By the way, how are you preparing for this game? Has Inter Milan's starting lineup been announced?" Jan Luno asked with concern.

"Very well prepared. As for the starting lineup..." Mijatovic took a piece of paper from the side and recorded Inter Milan's starting lineup.

Goalkeeper Cesar, the defense is Evra, Cannavaro, Vidic and Maicon respectively, the midfielder is Yaya Toure and Veron are forward, Cambiasso is behind, and the frontcourt trident It’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Adriano.

This set of the most powerful starting lineup made both of them frown.

"Inter Milan is also determined to win this game."

"Don't worry, Mr. Weigel, we are all prepared." Mijatovic looked confident of winning when he spoke.

On the contrary, it was Jan Luno who looked at Calderon and chuckled: "I heard that you are going to bring in more superstars this summer. If you are considering poaching from Inter Milan, we will be happy to help."

"Really?" Mijatovich's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course, we would like to see them wearing Adidas jerseys." Jan Lunow said with certainty.

"Not only the players, but also the head coach. Before Bayern Munich considered inviting Gao Han to coach, we made a promise that as long as Gao Han is willing to go, we will be fully responsible for Gao Han's salary, and the annual sponsorship fee can be increased further. .”

After a pause, Jan Luno smiled at the two people in front of him, "The same commitment is also valid for Real Madrid."

real or fake?

Mijatovic and Calderon were simply stunned.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

Who doesn't know that Gao Han is a championship coach, and the teams he coaches always win championship trophies.

If they were still worried about Gao Han's huge annual salary before, now they have no worries at all.

Of course, Adidas would not do a loss-making business. They couldn't get Gao Han's sponsorship, so they wanted to steal Gao Han's training clothes to compete with Nike.

…………

Before the game was about to start, Gao Han finally received Real Madrid's starting lineup.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense from left to right is Roberto Carlos, Samuel, Helguera and Salgado, and the midfielder is Mohamed Diarra, Emerson and Beckham Mu is behind, Guti is forward, Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy partner up the front line.

In addition, there are powerful young players such as Robinho, Gago, Marcelo and Higuain sitting on the bench.

"Beckham is indeed starting." Gao Han glanced at the list and handed it over to Cantarero and Guardiola.

In the morning, the three giants of Atletico Madrid had already warned Gao Han, and they were well prepared for this.

"We still don't know exactly what Capello is planning. This is the Bernabeu after all. It's definitely safe to play it safe. If you want to have a big fight, you have to wait until we return to Meazza."

Gao Han's words were also unanimously recognized by the coaching staff.

"So, my idea is to stabilize the position after the start, don't rush to attack, and test Real Madrid's intentions."

Beckham partnered with Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was already a very sharp and supreme killer when he was at Manchester United. He was still feared at Real Madrid, not to mention the hesitant Raul.

Raul is currently the active player with the most goals in the Champions League, and his performance in the Champions League cannot be underestimated.

"However, we are not soft persimmons who can be manipulated by others. Capello arranged Salgado and Roberto Carlos to start because he wanted to borrow their experience, but he also had to bear the corresponding risks."

Having said this, Gao Han pointed to Cantarero, "Let Maicon and Evra be ready at any time."

"Understood," Cantarero responded.

I will take my father to Fuzhou for a follow-up consultation tomorrow. The two chapters will be updated at 8:00 and 18:00 respectively.
