Super Marshal

"Beep!"

With the referee's whistle, the knockout match at the Bernabeu finally came to an end.

But the score on the scoreboard made many people find it difficult to accept, and even extremely angry.

Zero to three, according to international practice, the home team goes first and the visiting team goes last.

Before the end of the second half, Inter Milan's Evra suddenly exerted his strength on the left. In the 88th minute, he broke through Salgado and passed from the left into the penalty area. Samuel grabbed the first goal. Headed the ball out of the penalty area.

But after Yaya Toure stopped the ball on his chest outside the penalty area, he volleyed directly with his right foot and sent the ball into the goal.

Three to zero, Inter Milan defeated Real Madrid away from home.

Mijatovic, who vowed before the game to decide the outcome in a home battle, completely became the target of everyone's ridicule. The game was indeed determined in one battle, but the winner was not Real Madrid, but Inter Milan. .

But what surprised Gao Han and others was that after the game, the Real Madrid fans in the stands stood up from their seats and applauded Inter Milan. This was beyond Gao Han and others' expectations. .

"Can I still get this kind of treatment?" Gao Han was a little flattered.

He has come to the Bernabeu many times to compete, but this is the first time he has received applause.

Guardiola kept nodding, "Real Madrid fans are indeed impeccable in their demeanor."

"Yes, they are known as the most knowledgeable and picky fans in the world, but in fact, they are also the most graceful fans. This applause is probably not only congratulating us, but also mocking Mijatovic. and Calderon.”

Who says it's not?

Before the game, I boasted about Haikou and boasted loudly, but when it came to the game, I couldn't show my strength at all.

Judging from the situation of this game, Real Madrid's strength cannot compete with Inter Milan. The two teams are not at the same level at all.

Although Ruud van Nistelrooy is still a famous center shooter, he is also old. Midfielder Emerson is also old. Diarra is brave enough but has not contributed much in other aspects. Only Beckham is left to suffer. I have struggled to support myself, but I still got into this situation with the management. I really don’t know what to say.

"Real Madrid today is a mess." Guardiola sighed.

Gao Han nodded and smiled, "But this is also an opportunity for Atletico Madrid, isn't it?"

Judging from the situation in the past few years, under the coaching of Heynckes, Atletico Madrid has maintained quite good results in both the Champions League and La Liga.

Although they have been ranked lower than Barcelona in La Liga in the past two seasons, this was due to the loss of many core players. With the rise of many players this season, Atletico Madrid has regained its competitiveness and currently leads the La Liga standings.

Based on the situation in La Liga this season, Gao Han speculates that Real Madrid's problems will be difficult to solve in a short time, Barcelona's problems are gradually exposed, and Atletico Madrid will usher in a rare period of opportunity.

If it develops well, Atletico Madrid will firmly secure its spot among the top three players in the Western Premier League.

Gao Han noticed Guardiola's complicated expression and knew it well.

Not long ago, Guardiola returned to Barcelona to participate in an event and had contact with Barcelona's management. The other party kindly invited him to return to the team and also hoped to persuade Gao Han to coach Barcelona through Guardiola.

For this reason, Barcelona President Laporta even went to Milan in person, but Gao Han avoided seeing him.

However, he could see that Guardiola was also worried about the situation in Barcelona. In addition, he had been with Gao Han for two years. He was already familiar with the theory and had accumulated a lot of practical experience. Now he was almost alone.

It is said that Laporta even personally promised that he could enter the first team and serve as Rijkaard's chief assistant coach to familiarize himself with the situation first in order to succeed Rijkaard in the future.

At this moment, look at Guardiola's expression, why doesn't Gao Han understand that he is tempted?

After all, he also wants to have the opportunity in the future, like Gao Han tonight, to be applauded by Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium. This is a great honor for any head coach.

Especially a Barcelona legend like him.

"Josep, I think you should take this bold step." Gao Han patted Guardiola on the shoulder and encouraged him.

He sincerely feels that Guardiola will become a very good head coach. Whether it is daily contact or the keen eye of the coaching system, his judgment has been confirmed.

"Sometimes, standing on the sidelines and being on your own are two completely different worlds. If you are determined to continue on this path, you should bravely take this step and accept this challenge."

Gao Han's encouragement does not surprise Guardiola, because he has been encouraging him from the first time he heard Guardiola mention it, and Guardiola is also grateful.

Whether he is a player or a coach, Gao Han has given him great help. It can even be said that without Gao Han, he would not be where he is today, so he has always valued Gao Han's opinions.

But he has always been a cautious person.

"I'll learn more about the situation and then think about it." Guardiola said with a smile.

Gao Han had absolutely nothing to do with him. He was already at this point. Why would he still consider it?

"But if I ever go back to Barcelona, ​​I want to be like you."

"Like me?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

"Well, let's start from the second team."

"What?" Gao Han lost his voice, "How is this possible?"

Guardiola smiled awkwardly but did not refute.

"With your status in Barcelona, ​​if Laporta and others arrange you to be the head coach of the second team, believe me, the angry fans will definitely tear their management to pieces and let you be the first team coach. The chief assistant coach is already considered a loser, and he still goes to the second team? Are you kidding me?"

The world of professional football may not be considered big or small, but at its core it is still a humane society based on seniority and seniority.

Guardiola is Barcelona's most admired legend in the past few years. When he returns to Barcelona, ​​he will either directly enter the core management or serve as the head coach of the first team.

Just like Rexach and Ferrer back then.

But you know, Guardiola's status in Barcelona is far higher than these two people.

Therefore, unless the management is crazy, they will definitely not arrange for Guardiola to go to the second team.

"I know, but I really want to go to the second team to give myself a buffer period before coaching alone. At the same time, I also want to give it a try to see if some of my ideas can work. The second team is more suitable. I."

After hearing Guardiola's words, Gao Han knew that he was serious.

With the Barcelona legend's character, once he decides on something, even nine bulls can't get him back.

Therefore, he can only wish Laporta and others good luck.

"But don't worry about me, think more about yourself." Guardiola patted Gao Han on the shoulder and smiled with some schadenfreude.

"What do I have to worry about?"

"The Golden Seat Award is not that easy to win."

Don't tell me, when Gao Han heard this, his good mood of winning suddenly faded a lot.

Who says it's not?

There are many famous coaches in Serie A. It is not easy to win the Golden Seat Award. But the problem is that you have to give a speech while winning the award.

If it was just attended by some Covelciano students as usual, then he wouldn't be too entangled, but it is said that this speech attracted the attention of European professional football, many well-known Italian coaches, and even other European countries All the head coaches found connections to sign up to attend, which put Gao Han in a difficult position.

In front of many well-known coaches, he can't say some clichés, right?

But how can we say something new?

This Golden Seat Award is indeed not easy to win at all.

…………

…………

A 3-0 win over Real Madrid in an away game earned Inter Milan unanimous praise from the entire European football community.

Especially Gao Han's formation in this game was highly praised by the outside world.

Maicon, who was elected as the best player of the game, became famous in one battle as Gao Han expected.

The Brazilian right back has performed brilliantly at Inter Milan this season, and even seems to be replacing captain Zanetti, which has made many Inter Milan fans shout that the original transfer fee was well spent. , what a bargain.

You know, with Maicon's performance this season, it is no problem for his value to increase at least three or four times.

Maicon's outstanding performance also made Gao Han's Bole even more famous.

At the same time, after beating Real Madrid, Nike officially announced that it had officially reached a contract extension agreement with Gao Han.

According to the new contract signed by both parties, Gao Han will not only receive 10 million euros in sponsorship fees from Nike every year, but also receive a share from the sales of a series of Nike jerseys and casual clothing.

This also allowed Gao Han to surpass Beckham and become the first person with the highest single sponsorship fee in professional football.

Regarding Nike's signing of Gao Han with such a high sponsorship fee, the outside media generally affirmed that Gao Han is the most popular top coach in European football at the moment, especially with the huge market in China and Asia behind him, making him a complete success. The object of fierce competition from Nike and Adidas.

In addition to signing Gao Han, Nike also announced that it has officially launched sponsorship contract renewal negotiations with Inter Milan.

As early as 1998, Nike signed a ten-year long-term contract with Inter Milan, with a sponsorship fee of 9 million euros per year. However, as time has passed, this contract is far from meeting Inter Milan's requirements. , but based on the good cooperation between the two parties for many years, they have a strong willingness to renew the contract and start renewal negotiations in advance.

Not only that, Inter Milan also officially announced that it had reached an agreement with the Milan city government to lease a dilapidated football stadium in the suburbs of Milan for a hundred years, and at the same time purchased the land surrounding the stadium.

Club president Facchetti, who has just recovered from cancer and has returned, excitedly said that Inter Milan will conduct a comprehensive renovation of the stadium and build many supporting facilities in the surrounding area.

"We will build this into the most luxurious home stadium in Italy and even Europe!"

Facchetti's excited remarks completely shocked the entire Italian football world.

No one thought that Inter Milan would suddenly do something like this.

Renting a dilapidated stadium to renovate?

Everyone can tell that this is just an excuse. What Inter Milan really wants to do is to build a new stadium.

For a time, not only many Serie A teams realized this opportunity, but even the government woke up and immediately issued policies to plug this loophole. However, Inter Milan has signed a formal contract with the Milan Municipal Government and has also obtained All the procedures and approval documents are completed.

This has also made many Serie A teams regret it. How come such benefits are exclusive to Inter Milan?

Gao Han, who was the first to propose this suggestion, was even more supported by Inter Milan fans.
