Super Marshal

"The winner of the 2007 UEFA Player of the Year Award is..."

As Gao Han spoke loudly and forcefully into the microphone on the podium, everyone in the audience almost held their breath and looked at the podium attentively, especially the few players who were hopeful of winning the award. .

"...Kaka!"

Kaka?

The entire Grimaldi Conference Center fell into a deathly silence. Everyone looked at Gao Han on the stage in disbelief. Even Kaka himself opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

Gao Han raised the card in his hand and repeatedly announced, "Kaka!"

Then, the entire venue burst into extremely warm cheers.

Upset, this is definitely a big upset!

Who would have thought that the winner of the Player of the Year award would be Kaká!

What is even more unexpected is that Kaka is the first player in the history of AC Milan to win the Player of the Year.

The Brazilian stood up from his seat in disbelief, pursed his lips as if he didn't know what reaction to give, but he quickly accepted the congratulations from everyone around him, especially when he passed Cristiano Ronaldo , the Brazilians actively embraced the Portuguese.

Both of them used to play for Atletico Madrid when Gao Han was coaching. At that time, Kaka was the top star in the team and Cristiano Ronaldo was a rookie. However, the relationship between the two was good and their friendship was quite deep, especially later in Portugal. After he moved to Milan, the two of them often communicated with each other.

But who would have thought that Kaka would temporarily win this duel with an upset.

Not only were the players surprised, but Gao Han himself was also surprised.

Among the four major awards just awarded, Kaka was shortlisted for the best forward, but the winner was Cristiano Ronaldo. Logically speaking, the Portuguese should win the award. Otherwise, how to explain Kaka couldn't win the best forward award, but he won the best player award?

But the card in front of him had Kaka's name written very clearly on it.

Under the congratulations of everyone, Kaka walked all the way to the podium, still looking very excited.

When he walked in front of Gao Han, the shy Brazilian player covered his chest and shook his head with a wry smile, obviously trying to calm down. But soon, he stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged Gao Han forcefully.

"Thank you, boss, thank you, thank you, thank you..."

Kaka kept thanking Gao Han repeatedly in his ears, and tears could not stop falling from his eyes.

There was a burst of extremely warm applause and cheers, and Cristiano Ronaldo was the first person to stand up from his seat and applaud Kaka vigorously.

The surprise comes so suddenly that people can't help but reveal their true feelings.

Kaka will never forget that when he was in the most difficult situation and almost reached a desperate situation, it was Gao Han who personally went to Brazil, personally convinced him, and personally brought him to European football and Atletico Madrid.

It was Gao Han's trust and importance in him that made him go from being a ridiculed poop to Kaká, who is talked about by all fans, and became one of the most popular superstars in European football.

Without Gaohan, Kaka would not be what it is today.

Cristiano Ronaldo can definitely understand Kaka's gratitude to Gao Han, because the Brazilian has told him this more than once, and he himself understands it deeply.

At that time, he was just a ridiculed country boy in the youth training camp of Sporting Lisbon in Portugal. He was not taken seriously by anyone at all. He even had the idea of ​​returning home, but it was Gao Han who found him through his agent Mendes.

Encountering high cold became the biggest turning point in his life.

Since then, he has been on a meteoric rise, from Atletico Madrid to Inter Milan. It was Gao Han who personally trained him to become a world star.

He has never been a talkative person, but in his heart he always regards Gao Han as his most important relative.

On the podium, Kaka took the trophy from Gao Han's hand, walked to the microphone, and looked directly at the audience in front of him.

"Thank you to UEFA and everyone who voted for me, and thank you to all the fans who supported me. Winning this award is motivation for me to continue to improve. I look forward to the next challenge."

"But I want to say, my good friend, Cristiano Ronaldo, he just had a fantastic season, he achieved almost all the honours, I know he deserves this award more than me, but I I will work harder to prove myself, and I want to tell him, Cristiano, our game is not over yet!"

"Also, my most respected head coach, Mr. Gao Han, you are the best in the world!"

The scene immediately burst into a burst of extremely warm applause, and everyone stood up and applauded Kaka.

Kaka turned around and hugged Gao Han again. The two faced the entire audience together and accepted everyone's congratulations.

…………

…………

At the end of the awards night, the happiest people were the media reporters.

All the five major awards were divided up among Gao Han's players. What kind of gimmick is this?

But the most surprising thing is that the last and most important Player of the Year award is not Cristiano Ronaldo, but Kaká. This is surprising.

You know, AC Milan didn't win any honors last season. Although Kaká performed very well, he was still not as dazzling as Inter Milan's players. Why did he win it?

However, UEFA did not explain this. After the party, media reporters interviewed Platini. The UEFA president also spoke in an official tone and repeatedly stated that the entire selection process was fair, open and just, and there was no fraud.

"I believe that everyone who has watched AC Milan games will not deny that Kaká was one of the most outstanding superstars in European football last season, and at this level, anyone can win this award. "

As the mentor of the two superstars, Gao Han also said in an interview with the media, "Both players are the best in European football and their performances are also the best. There is no dispute about who wins the award."

Even Cristiano Ronaldo generously congratulated Kaka on winning the award in an interview with the media.

"Fraud? No, no, no, I think Kaka should get this award. Although he did not win the championship, his performance on the court is more convincing than any championship. I am convinced that he won this award."

"Of course, I don't think I'm worse than him. Our game has just begun."

This can also be regarded as Cristiano Ronaldo's response to Kaka's invitation to fight just now.

After attending the awards night and lottery ceremony, everyone was invited by UEFA to have dinner at a luxury hotel near the Grimaldi Conference Center.

From beginning to end, Gao Han was the protagonist at the banquet, with players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká sitting next to him, and Gao Han also said in private that Kaka's performance was indeed worthy of this award.

However, he also reminded Kaka to pay attention to his body.

"You have suffered a lot of injuries in the past period of time, so you need to be careful."

Speaking of Kaká, he is not very old, only 25 years old, but his playing style is very easy to get injured, especially the high-speed dribbling in the middle. Many people can't keep up with his rhythm and can only be forced to foul. .

Gao Han used his sharp eyes, and after taking a look at Kaka's data, he found that his tendency to get injured was higher than before, so he reminded him so seriously to pay attention to his health.

"I understand, Milan Laboratory has always been paying attention. Don't worry, boss, I will pay attention."

Kaka also listened to Gao Han's reminder.

"If you have the chance, you should think more about it. At the age of twenty-five, you are at your peak, but you should also consider the next problems, especially when your injuries start to increase and you get older, you will definitely need to transform. Do you understand what I mean?"

Kaka nodded. He is a smart man and he understands the importance of taking precautions.

No professional player can always maintain the same style of playing from debut to retirement. When they are young, they need to try more, exercise more, and find their own role. The golden years are only those few years, and injuries will occur later. If there are too many, your body's functions will decline, and you have to start transforming.

Especially for players like Kaka and Robben.

Some who do not transform well often either retire early or end up losing their jobs later in the season.

Kaka himself also knew the importance of transformation, but he also knew that he really needed someone like Gao Han to guide and supervise him, so he looked at Gao Han and said jokingly: "If I can play football under the boss, then I have nothing to worry about.”

Gao Han was almost frightened to death after hearing this, "Please, don't scare me. Our temple is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you."

With Kaka's current worth, looking at the entire European football world, there are only a handful of teams that can afford him, but Bayern Munich is definitely not included.

"Haha, boss, you can come to AC Milan."

As soon as Kaka said this, Cristiano Ronaldo on the side stopped, "Hey, I said, Kaka, you have grown up, it doesn't matter if you snatch the player of the year, you even want to snatch the boss." , even if he wants to return to Serie A, he will go back to Inter Milan."

"Yes, yes, the boss is the most beloved coach of Inter Milan fans. How can he coach a rival in the same city?"

"That's right, stop dreaming."

Everyone is eager for Kaka to win the prize. Now that they have the opportunity, why not attack him quickly?

Gao Han is the old god sitting on the ground, drinking wine, eating food and watching the show.

But on the surface, he is relaxed, but in his heart, he is not at all relaxed.

After tonight, he will travel non-stop to Nyon, Switzerland, to attend the annual European Head Coaches Summit at the UEFA headquarters. According to the procedure, Platini should give a speech on behalf of UEFA on the first day. A summary of past Champions League and UEFA Cup competitions.

It is said that he may also seek everyone's opinions on reforming the UEFA Cup.

Another very important topic is to communicate the preparation and organization of the two major European Cups in the new season, as well as the disciplinary enforcement standards. This is also a routine matter that UEFA does every year.

Not only will it be communicated at the head coach summit, but the Referee Committee will also arrange personnel to go to each team to communicate it, so that all participating teams will be aware of UEFA's law enforcement standards so that they are well aware of it.

What really put Gao Han in trouble was the agenda for the next day.

The highlight of the second day was Gao Han's speech. He faced more than 20 top European head coaches and UEFA technical officials. They all wanted to understand Gao Han's tactical concepts and the core ideas of coaching the team. .

Gao Han has been coaching for many years since his debut, and has never lost or drawn. This record is miraculous, and is naturally the focus of curiosity among all European head coaches. Many people may even have taken Gao Han to the laboratory for sectioning. Research ideas.

Because of this, the agenda for the next day will be more interesting.

For Gao Han, it will also be a moderate test.
