Super Marshal

As old players such as Guardiola, Kiko, and Aguilera imparted their experience from the bottom of their hearts, the discussion became more and more heated.

In the end, Gao Han who was outside the door couldn't stand anymore, so he simply went in to participate in it.

As the head coach of the team, Gao Han sees problems from a different angle and thinks about them differently from the players.

It should be said that he mainly focused on the overall situation.

Often times, from an individual point of view, players feel very puzzled by some of the head coach's arrangements. Although they have been implemented well, they are still confused in their minds.

This time he didn't figure it out, and the next time he encountered a similar problem, he would still be blind.

Gao Han didn't have the slightest reservation. He explained some of the players' doubts, and he was not afraid to honestly admit some of the mistakes he made.

Because he believes that there is no one in this world who will not make mistakes, and since he will make mistakes, he must admit his mistakes.

Even as an authoritative head coach, there is no need to put on airs forever.

In fact, his attitude of daring to admit mistakes has also been appreciated by the players.

Through this kind of internal discussion, it not only enhanced the understanding and familiarity between players and players, communicated some ideas with each other, resolved some differences, but also strengthened the unity of the team's thinking.

This harvest was well reflected in the team training sessions in the next few days. The execution ability of the players was obviously better, and their understanding and response to tactics and the situation on the field were also improved.

On September 9th, Atlético de Madrid sat at the Calderón Stadium and ushered in the second round opponent of La Liga, Espanyol.

This team narrowly beat Zaragoza 2-1 at home in the first round and got a good start. They are also determined to win the second round away challenge to the newly promoted team.

Head coach Paco Flores vowed in an interview with the Catalan newspaper Daily Sport before his departure that the Spaniard is confident of taking three points from the Calderon Stadium.

But in fact, at the Calderon Stadium, Flores' team only lasted ten minutes before being scored by Atletico Madrid forward Torres.

After that, the Sheets took advantage of the victory and pursued, and in the 26th minute, Villa made another victory.

Two to zero, this score was finally maintained until the end of the game.

But what really caused fans and the media to discuss after the game was that the entire game was completely controlled by Atletico Madrid.

The sheet team's ball possession rate reached 61%, 22 percentage points higher than the Spaniard's 39%, which amazed the entire Spanish football world.

What's even more frightening is that in this game, Atletico Madrid tried 23 shots, most of which were concentrated in the penalty area or at the front of the penalty area, especially in the opening and closing stages of the game. .

Espanyol's best player of the game was goalkeeper Moura, which speaks for itself.

With two consecutive victories, Atletico Madrid grabbed six points at the start and got off to a good start.

But the most eye-catching team at the start of the league is Celta Vigo.

After defeating Osasuna 3-0 in the first round, Victor Fernandez's team sat at home in the second round and once again defeated the newly promoted Tenerife with three goals. The advantage of the ball, proudly ranked first in the standings.

Deportivo, who won 4-0 in the first round of the league, continued to win in the second round, beating Las Palmas 1-0 away.

In the La Liga standings, after two rounds, Vigo Celta ranked first with the advantage of goal difference.

Both Atletico Madrid and Deportivo have a goal difference of five goals, but Atletico Madrid finally ranked second, and Deportivo ranked third.

Villarreal and Alaves, who also won two consecutive victories, ranked fourth and fifth respectively with four goal differences.

Barcelona drew with Vallecano at home in the second round and only scored four points, ranking seventh.

After losing to Valencia in the first round, rivals in the same city, Real Madrid drew with Malaga at home in this round. They only scored one point in the two rounds and ranked 16th in the standings.

As soon as the results of the second round came out, it immediately aroused huge repercussions in Spain.

Although only two rounds have been played, the situation is still not obvious, and it is too early to make a judgment, but many teams have also exposed problems.

For example, Real Madrid, Zidane has not been able to integrate into the team, especially the start of the league, counting the two rounds of the Super Cup, four games with one draw and three losses, the start of the new season is quite bad.

But the test has only just begun.

After the second round, Real Madrid will start to play the Champions League in the middle of the week and challenge the Serie A powerhouse Roma away. On the weekend, that is, the third round of the league, they will be a guest at the Calderon Stadium, the third time this season against the city's rival Atletico Madrid.

In the case of their own poor state, such a schedule is a disaster for Real Madrid.

Moreover, the current UEFA Champions League still adopts a two-round group stage competition system, and there are many competitions. For the Galaxy Battleship, multi-line combat will definitely be a big test.

How to help Zidane integrate into the team in the shortest time has also become an imminent problem for Bosque.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid, after the second round, got another week of rest time to prepare for the weekend against Real Madrid.

But in the middle of next week, Atletico Madrid will also start playing the UEFA Cup against the Danish Super League team, Silkeborg.

However, unlike the many UEFA Champions League matches, the UEFA Cup is a two-round knockout round all the way.

It is precisely because the schedule is more relaxed, so Gao Han also sits at home and waits for work.

…………

…………

After finishing the second round on Sunday, resume training on Monday morning, the whole team will have a holiday in the afternoon and Tuesday morning, and they will gather again until Tuesday afternoon for some simple individual training and team tactical training.

In the evening, accompanied by members of the coaching staff, Gao Han watched the first round of the UEFA Champions League Group A group match.

Zidane's suspension during Juventus continued to Real Madrid. He was unable to play in this game. Del Bosque was replaced by Guti. Center Morientes also did not play, but McManaman started.

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Real Madrid slammed against Roma for 90 minutes.

It wasn't until the fiftieth minute of the second half that Figo scored with a direct free kick.

After that, Real Madrid played a wave of offensive. Figo assisted Guti to score in the 63rd minute and expanded the score.

But in the 73rd minute, Roma quickly recovered a goal, setting off a frenzy for the home team to counterattack, and even almost equalized several times.

The competition was very exciting and intense, which made Gao Han, who was waiting in front of the TV, very enjoyable to watch.

"Real Madrid finally won a game!"

Gao Han's words immediately made the four right-hand assistants in the office laugh.

Before the season, who thought that Real Madrid would encounter a black door?

It is estimated that Bosque has choked enough during the beginning of the game.

"Traveled a long way tonight, ran to Italy and smashed Rome for 95 minutes. I don't know how much strength I have on Saturday?"

If the previous sentence is a bit ridiculous, then this sentence is blatantly gloating.

"I think Bosque is most likely to arrange tactics around Zidane. He is in the best condition, and it is estimated that at least one of the double midfielders will be rotated. The two full-backs in the defense are also fighting fiercely and are likely to be rotated."

As the team's fitness coach, Lorenzo Buenaventura is the most vocal in this regard.

Real Madrid's bench is thick, and there is Celades in the midfielder position, who is also a famous player in La Liga. There are also substitute players such as Gremi in the defense. The rotation is good, so there is no problem.

Of course, the risk of rotation is also very large.

Gao Han thought for a while, "Lorenzo, increase the dose tomorrow to stimulate the state."

Buenaventura nodded, "Understood."

"Targeted training and pre-match preparations are scheduled for Thursday and Saturday mornings, with another day off on Friday."

"Friday is still a holiday?" Cantarero was a little surprised.

The third round is scheduled for Saturday night, isn't it a little bit of a Friday off...

Gao Han nodded, "Next we will have double matches a week!"

These words made all four present silent.

Now watching Real Madrid's two matches a week, consumes so much, but I wait for work with leisure, it is really cool and enjoyable.

But in the future, I will also encounter such a schedule, and I will not go anywhere easily.

What's more, Atletico Madrid's bench lineup this season is really not strong enough to afford a war of attrition.

"Sergio, Lorenzo, you must pay close attention to the physical condition of every player in the team, and give me a report every day." Gao Han looked at the two assistants and urged.

Needless to say, Sergio Garcia, Lorenzo Buenaventura is also highly rated in his eyes, and is known as one of the best physical fitness coaches in the world.

Judging from the pre-season preparations, Buenaventura is indeed very skilled.

"This game against Real Madrid on Saturday is very important!"

Gao Han stood up from his seat and said with a serious face.

"Next, we will soon face multi-line battles. The momentum accumulated at the beginning of the season will determine how far we can go on this road, and we must not stop in the hands of Real Madrid."

Everyone also understands that Real Madrid is determined to take revenge, even if it costs a lot to fight Rome, they will definitely go all out.

Atletico Madrid's aura is accumulated by double-killing Real Madrid. If they lose to Real Madrid, then this aura will dissipate.

This is a big test for newly promoted horses.

"In the third round of the league, I have only one goal."

Gao Han pointed to the blackboard behind him, on which was the latest La Liga standings ranking.

"That is to move our ranking up and step down the ranking of our mortal enemy."

After finishing speaking, he himself couldn't help smiling.

The four assistants also felt his confidence and laughed.

Atletico Madrid is currently ranked second, and if it moves up, it will be the leader.

A newly promoted horse becomes the leader, which is new.

What's even more fresh is that Real Madrid, which is home to many superstars, will be in the relegation zone any further down.

I believe that everyone from chairman Old Hill to ordinary fans will be very happy to see this scene.
