Super Marshal

"Because of you!" Zidane stared at Gao Han and said every word.

"Because of me?" Gao Han was surprised.

Zidane smiled shyly again, nodded and said: "It is indeed because of you."

"Why?"

"We used to be rivals on the court, and I have always been curious about why your team always wins. For more than ten years, you have never lost a game, and you have never been tied. This is absolutely unimaginable in my decades of football memories. Can you understand that feeling?"

Of course Gao Han couldn't understand, because he knew himself very clearly.

"When I decided to return to the football circle, everything about you was full of curiosity to me. I wanted to solve these mysteries, so I started to transform into the coaching bench. I also went to Chinatown to sign up. Coaching sessions, and at the beginning I was standing next to Mourinho."

Speaking of Mourinho, Zidane's face darkened, he shook his head and sighed.

Almost everyone in Europe knows that Mourinho will be fired at the end of this season.

"You know what? I learned a lot from Mourinho, but I soon discovered that what he actually needed was not my ability, but my identity and status. He wanted me to stand with him. Being on the same team, criticizing the referees together, mobilizing the players' emotions together, and convincing the management together makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"In comparison, I will be more interested in you, so I will take the initiative to tell you that I hope to be your assistant."

There is no doubt that Zidane looks gentle and elegant on the surface, but is actually a very arrogant person.

Such a person will not be an assistant to anyone casually. Even the more familiar Gao Han is with Zidane, the easier it will be to discover that he will not be willing to retreat to the second line. He is just dormant and learning skills. , when the time is right, he will soar into the sky.

Perhaps, by then, he will become the second Guardiola.

Many fans have always said that the midfielder position is always well-known, such as Ancelotti and Guardiola.

But in fact, this statement is not rigorous enough.

Strictly speaking, it should be said that stars who are good at teamwork are often more likely to succeed after transforming into head coaches.

Just like Maradona, no one can doubt that he is one of the greatest players in football history. His understanding and knowledge of football are definitely far beyond most people, but why is he not successful as a head coach? Woolen cloth?

Even Maradona himself couldn't figure it out, so much so that he was very confused when he was interviewed. He always couldn't understand why his players couldn't play well?

The reason is actually very simple. Many things are so simple in his eyes, so simple that he can understand them without even thinking about them. However, in the eyes of his players, it is very difficult to understand these things, and they may rack their brains. I can’t even figure it out.

Some people know everything, some people only know a little bit, and some people are completely confused. If such people form a team, it will definitely be a mess.

But players who are good at teamwork are different. They understand and tolerate each other better. It is easier for them to master the skills of working with different people. When playing football, they can make their teammates around them perform better. When they transform into a head coach, They are able to fully understand their players and maintain smooth communication.

There is no doubt that both Guardiola and Zidane are team players.

And Gao Han also believes that Zidane will definitely be a successful head coach in the future.

"Sometimes, I look in the mirror, and there seems to be another me inside, a me that only I can see. He looks exactly like me, no different at all, but inside he is like a house that is always changing. A volcano that may erupt, he has too many things to erupt, sometimes even I can't control him." Zidane shook his head.

After hearing this, Gao Han smiled and said, "It's normal, and it's also a good thing."

Under Zidane's questioning gaze, Gao Han continued: "You seem to be a very reserved person and don't speak much, but you have your own ideas and opinions. You are a very strong person at heart. Man, even you are very competitive, you will not be convinced by anyone, not even me."

Zidane smiled slightly, acquiescing.

In fact, only someone with his personality can push him to the status of a legendary superstar.

When Gao Han criticized Hazard before, he believed that the Belgian has a weak personality, is not selfish enough, and lacks this kind of competitive spirit. This is a good thing in terms of life, but it is a bad thing on the football field.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are both very competitive people, which can urge them to continue to make progress and self-discipline, so that they always want to surpass each other.

"The volcano deep in your heart condenses your understanding of professional football, your views on the future development of football, your concepts and thoughts on coaching a team...many, many things, from the time you come into contact with football It started from that day and has accumulated over time, and now it has reached the point where it is about to erupt.”

Zidane nodded humbly.

"Head coach is undoubtedly a very painful, but also very challenging and fulfilling job. Once you step into this position, it is equivalent to choosing loneliness. Everyone else around you can only Responsible for providing opinions, they give you references, analyze for you, and give you different opinions and choices, but you must make independent decisions.”

"You are eager to get such an opportunity, or it should be said that you are born to like such challenges. This is true for players, and it will be the same when you become a head coach in the future."

When Gao Han said this, the topic suddenly changed.

"You should know very well that with your status, if you want to become a head coach, it is a matter of minutes. There are many teams in European football for you to choose from, but if you want to succeed, you must You must have your own coaching philosophy and create your own core values.”

"Do you think you're ready?"

Gao Han's question calmed Zidane down, he became calm and restrained again, and fell into deep thought.

He forgot that this was the first time Gao Han told him these things, and every time he asked himself.

During the past period of time, he had been thinking about this issue all the time. Sometimes he seemed to understand something, but sometimes he seemed confused.

"Take your time, as long as you really want to find it, you will definitely find it." Gao Han encouraged.

Zidane and Guardiola are really very similar, with similar personalities and styles, and even their tangled looks are similar.

Gao Han still clearly remembers that before Guardiola took over Barcelona, ​​he called Gao Han all night and kept saying that he was not ready yet and had not found his own core concept. But what was the result?

It’s not that he didn’t find anything, it’s that he wasn’t satisfied with what he found, he wanted more.

What about Zidane?

Didn't he find it? Or are you like Guardiola, not satisfied with the status quo?

Gao Han was very curious and wanted to know the answer.

"By the way, I have something to do this weekend."

"Weekend?" Zidane was surprised, "There is a game on the weekend."

"Yes, I know. Therefore, you are fully responsible for the weekend game, including pre-game preparations and tactical arrangements, as well as the starting list. You will be responsible for everything, and you will lead the team to the away game to direct the game."

"Me?" Zidane was even more surprised, "I can't. I'm just an assistant coach, and I haven't even gotten a coaching certificate yet."

"It doesn't matter. You are just an assistant coach. No one will care about whether you have a certificate. Besides, if the head coach asks for leave, of course it will be the assistant coach's responsibility. If there is no coach then, who will be in charge?"

What Gao Han said made Zidane speechless.

Situations like this have not happened before. The most famous one is Ferguson, who was temporarily transferred to work as a coolie by his wife. He was unable to lead the team in the FA Cup, so he arranged for an assistant coach to lead the team.

"Don't worry, Alas is not a strong team. I believe you can do it." Gao Han encouraged with a smile.

Even with a full bench, Paris Saint-Germain is stronger than its opponents.

"However, I would like to remind you carefully, don't be too gentle with those brats. If you are too nice to them, they will follow the stick and ride on you very quickly. So, you You have to try to change your personality when you were an assistant coach."

After a pause, Gao Han added another sentence, "Of course, don't get angry easily. Look at me, I rarely get angry, but once I get angry, I will never let it go, even if I have to do it all day long. Mourinho is hysterical. When you see him facing players, will he scold him all day long?"

Zidane knew that Gao Han was giving him instructions and immediately nodded.

"The most important thing for you when dealing with those players is to figure out what they want. It's no use being loud. Some of their salaries are higher than yours, and they are more popular than you in European football, so you need to become more Have skills.”

"I understand." Zidane nodded solemnly.

"Okay, that's it, I believe in you, do your best."

After encouraging Zidane some more, Gao Han sent the former French superstar out of the office.

Watching him leave, Gao Han suddenly laughed.

He took the cell phone off the coffee table, skillfully found Cantarero's number and called him directly.

"Hey Carlos, how's things going in Barcelona?"

Cantarero's work report soon came over the phone.

As Vilanova went to the United States for medical treatment, Barcelona announced that Lula would be the acting head coach. However, at this critical moment, whether for humanitarian reasons or to maintain the club's image, Barcelona decided to temporarily retain Vilanova's position. The head coach position, but the team has also made secondary preparations and may change coaches at any time.

"According to the latest news, with the current situation of Vilanova, even if there is no coaching change this season, it is estimated that there may be a coaching change this summer. Therefore, Luis Enrique has temporarily shelved negotiations with Celta Vigo. I There have been contacts with him, but he is waiting for Barcelona to call him."

"Are you hopeful?" Gao Han asked with a frown.

"It is said that there are many people in the management team supporting it, but if it is not announced for a day, it will not be done accurately." Cantarero replied.

Gao Han shook his head and sighed, this is the charm of a wealthy team.

"By the way, I just received a text message from Marcelino. He has decided to take over Villarreal. He regrets not being able to coach Chinatown and hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Gao Han nodded, "I'll call him later, apologize to him in person and wish him well."

"The matter of choosing a handsome guy..."

"You should pay attention to Luis Enrique first. I have a guy here who is very good. I want to see him again."

"I rarely hear you comment on someone like this. Who is it?" Cantarero asked curiously.

Gao Han laughed and said, "When the time is right, I will tell you again."

This immediately made Cantarero hate his teeth, but he was helpless.
