Super Marshal

"I'm sorry, Tesiki, but my answer is still the same as before."

In the luxurious suite of BJ Hilton Hotel, Gao Han regretfully rejected Barcelona again.

Sitting next to him are agents Jorge Mendes and Xiang Tianming, while sitting opposite are Barcelona's representative general manager Fran Soriano and technical director Tesiki Begiristain. .

"I am very grateful to Barcelona for their recognition and love for me, but as I said before, I already have a detailed career plan, at least I have no idea of ​​returning to Spain to coach in the short term."

Soriano and Begiristain both looked disappointed after hearing Gao Han's reply.

This time they came to BJ with considerable determination, hoping to be able to show affection and reason to Gao Han and convince him to go to Barcelona to coach. This would not only stabilize the club's morale, but also bring lucrative business to the team. Income will also be of great benefit to Laporta's subsequent presidential re-election campaign.

Rijkaard has left, but Gao Han is not in place. How will they explain this when they go back?

"Mr. Gao Han, I understand that this is a very important matter to you, so we are not in a hurry. Maybe we can give you more time to think about it. We are willing to wait." Begiris was honest and satisfied. Mandi said.

For a head coach like Gao Han, which team he chooses to coach is indeed a very important thing.

Many people have even said that the key to Gao Han's outstanding performance is that he knows how to select a team.

From Atletico Madrid to Chelsea to Inter Milan, he moved up almost step by step.

Gao Han understood what Begiristain meant and smiled, "Tesiki, actually I think there is a very suitable candidate within your team, but why didn't you consider it?"

"A suitable candidate?" Begiristain and Soriano were both a little surprised.

"Mr. Gao Han, I don't know who you are talking about..."

"Guardiola, my good friend and right-hand man, should have signed a contract with Barcelona to coach the second team in the new season, but I think it is a pity for a talent like him to coach the second team."

Begiristain and Soriano looked at each other, neither expecting Gao Han to suddenly recommend Guardiola.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Gao Han, Josep and I are very good friends. I have also talked about these things with him. He gave me the feeling that he was not sure about himself and was not sure whether he was ready. Yes." Begiristain said.

Gao Han smiled after hearing this, "Tesiki, since you are a good friend of Josep, you must know his character. He is like this, cautious and a little unsure, but I have worked with him for two years. , I dare say, he is ready, but he may not even know it."

As Begiristain, who knows Guardiola well, when Gao Han said this, he really felt that this was possible.

At the very least, Guardiola is such a person.

"In fact, not only do I think he is ready, I also think that if you can entrust him with important tasks, I believe that he will achieve impressive results in Barcelona, ​​and he may even make the entire European football world We are all shocked that he will become one of the best managers in Europe and the world."

Begiristain and Soriano were both a little surprised. They didn't expect Gao Han to speak so highly of Guardiola.

Is it because Guardiola is his right-hand man?

I'm afraid this is more than just that, right?

You know, with Gao Han's status in European football today, every word he says will attract great attention. If he doesn't recognize Guardiola but forcibly recommends him, wouldn't that be a self-defeating move?

Gao Han did not consider coaching Barcelona, ​​but he also felt Barcelona's sincerity, so he generously recommended Guardiola because he really felt that Guardiola was ready.

Others may not know it, but Gao Han has worked with Guardiola for two years, talked about almost everything, and has a sharp eye. How could he not know how much ability Guardiola has?

More importantly, the current situation in Barcelona is relatively delicate. Rijkaard was poached and the team was panicked. When Gao Han was unwilling to coach, Guardiola, as the legendary captain of the past, took over as the team's head coach. The position can just play a role in stabilizing the morale of the military.

"Okay, Mr. Gao Han, thank you very much for your words. We will study it carefully when we go back."

Begiristain was convinced by Gao Han, but he also knew that correcting Guardiola would face a lot of resistance.

But he still believed in Gao Han's vision.

Xiang Tianming sat aside with no sense of presence, there was no room for him to interrupt, but he watched Gao Han talk eloquently in front of Barcelona's core executives, not only politely declined Barcelona's invitation, but also recommended his assistant in turn Going to coach makes Xiang Tianming very proud.

To be honest, the top European clubs, which are considered very tall by domestic fans, still have to be polite in front of their boss, and even ask for help from others, which makes him feel very proud.

If Chinese football could be like this anytime, how proud would it be?

…………

After meeting Soriano and Begiristain, Gao Han went to meet Bayern Munich's Big Three without stopping.

He had forgotten that this was the first time they had kindly invited him to coach Bayern Munich. Especially with Beckenbauer's status in the current world football and Ken personally coming to BJ, Gao Han really couldn't refuse.

Therefore, when everyone met, Gao Han immediately expressed his gratitude to the Bayern Munich management and agreed to coach Bayern Munich.

The three of Beckenbauer were a little uneasy at first, because they knew that Barcelona had also arranged for people to come to BJ, and they were worried about being robbed first. But now that they have received Gao Han's consent personally, they can finally feel relieved.

As for the specific details of the coaching contract, personal treatment and other issues, Mendes will go to Munich to negotiate in the next few days, but judging from Bayern Munich's sincerity, this should not be a big problem.

What's more, Gao Han doesn't attach much importance to salary.

If he wanted to make money, wouldn't it be easy?

"I have some things to take care of in China over the next few days, so I should be back in Europe at the end of June."

Gao Han has already made detailed plans for his itinerary. "I hope the club can help me solve two problems during this period of time, which will make my future work more convenient."

"Say." Beckenbauer made a gesture of invitation.

"I need a house with convenient transportation, good security, quiet and livable. It is best to be able to run every morning."

After hearing this, the three Beckenbauers all nodded in unison.

When it comes to finding a house, the club should really help with the search. This is not even a requirement.

"The second problem is, I need an assistant."

In the past few years, the division of labor among Gao Han's coaching team has become more and more clear. Sergio Garcia is responsible for data analysis and game video research, Carlos Cantarero is responsible for daily training, and Lorenzo is responsible for physical training. Buenaventura…

Later, psychology expert Steve Peters was added, making Gao Han's coaching team small but capable.

Now that Guardiola has left, Gao Han's coaching team is missing one person.

Therefore, according to Gao Han's intention, he wants to find an assistant for himself, preferably one who can replace Guardiola's role and is also familiar with and understand German football, which will make it easier for him to integrate into the team faster.

Bayern Munich is a giant Bundesliga team with many retired stars. I believe such candidates should not be difficult to find.

When the three Beckenbauers heard Gao Han's request, they were all a little worried, because for a while, they couldn't figure out who was more suitable, but they agreed and tried their best to get it done before Gao Han returned to Europe.

"After returning to Europe, I hope to go around and get to know the team, especially the youth training."

Hoeness nodded: "Okay, we will arrange it."

"These are basically my requirements." Gao Han smiled and said.

"What about transfers?"

Gao Han thought for a while, "I will start studying Bayern Munich's situation last season in these two days and formulate a transfer plan. When I arrive in Europe, I will talk to you in detail, but there is a transfer that should be Act quickly, otherwise, once the news of me coaching Bayern Munich is announced, it will probably be ruined."

Hoeness, who was in charge of transfer operations, nodded and said: "Okay, you can send me a copy of the information later, and I will start operations as soon as I get back."

Gao Han still admires the Bayern Munich general manager's work style. It is not easy to sit up and stand up.

"To put it simply, I think Bayern Munich's current transformation direction should be passing control and running without the ball. No matter how football develops, these two things will never be separated. However, in the past few years, German football has attached great importance to running without the ball. , has been relatively neglected in terms of transmission and control technology, which should continue to be strengthened.”

Beckenbauer nodded repeatedly.

The lack of technical players in German football is a consensus in the past few years. Otherwise, the emergence of Deisler would not have made the entire German football feel regretful, because now there is no second Deisler. .

"In terms of youth training, we have begun to increase the training of players' technical abilities in the past few years. You are right, Bayern Munich's transformation must be in this direction."

This is something that Heathfield simply cannot do.

Looking at the entire European football world, there are only two reformers who can be named.

One is Van Gaal and the other is Gao Han.

Interestingly, Gao Han once interned under Van Gaal.

Relatively speaking, German football is quite good at running without the ball, and it has its own set of theories and systems.

When many people mention Total Attack and Total Defense, they often only think of the Netherlands and Michels. But in fact, in European football at that time, there was a country that, like the Netherlands, was also pursuing Total Attack and Total Defense. Idea, that is Germany.

This is also the reason why outstanding free men such as Beckenbauer and Sammer emerged in Germany.

Freeman itself is a concept of total offense and total defense.

Even in the new century, Ballack still feels like a free man, except that he is a midfielder, but his back-row attack allows everyone to feel the essence of authentic German football.

There is no doubt that the traditional German football style can no longer adapt to the current mainstream development trend of European football, but what if delicate passing and control are added?

So can German football shock the world again?

Aren't Klinsmann and Loew going to try this in the German national team?

Therefore, Gao Han is also full of expectations for his trip to Germany.
