Super Marshal

Now that Gao Han has decided to coach Inter Milan and accept the challenge of Serie A, Aragones and others stopped talking and started to shift the topic to making suggestions.

"In Inter Milan, you will probably encounter two major problems, one is the general environment of Serie A, and the other is Inter Milan itself."

Aragones gave a rough analysis based on the situation of the alpine.

"Needless to say the environment in Serie A, your pass-and-control style of play is really difficult to work in Serie A. Camacho's Spanish national team was a lesson from the past."

Gao Han still clearly remembers that Aragones once introduced to him about Camacho coaching the Spanish national team. Among them, the most impressive thing was that the Spanish team played with a pass-and-control style of play, which can be said to be invincible. But when it encountered Italy, which was heavily defended, it collapsed immediately.

Even since then, Camacho was forced to change his strategy and fell into a slump.

La Liga defeats the Premier League by passing and controlling; the Premier League defeats Serie A by running and impacting; and Serie A defeats La Liga by relying on their tight overall formation.

To put it simply, if you like to control the ball, then just control it. I will not chase, grab or force, and I will stick to the key position in front of the goal, let you attack, and then hit you to counterattack.

In the past, in the European arena, I met a Serie A team with this style of play once or twice a year, but now I go to Serie A and have to meet this kind of team every week. This has become Gao Han who has to think carefully. The problem.

During the period when Bosque was in charge of Real Madrid, he encountered many Serie A teams. He also has some experience in this regard.

"I think, apart from the tactical atmosphere of Serie A, Italian coaches usually have very high tactical quality, and they can often develop very targeted tactics to restrain you. This has resulted in the conservative style of Serie A. First, ensure that Make no mistakes yourself, and wait for your opponent to make mistakes."

Speaking of this, Bosque looked at Gao Han with a wry smile, "However, this should not be your style!"

Everyone present found it funny, Gao Han's style is to take the initiative and be aggressive.

The advantage is that you can firmly grasp the initiative of the game, but the risk is also very high.

"Actually, I think you might be able to study Cooper." Heynckes suggested.

"Cooper?" Of course Gao Han remembered him, and it was impossible to forget him.

In those years at the turn of the century, Cooper can be said to be the hottest top coach in the European arena. From Real Mallorca to Valencia, he set off the trend of double midfielders in La Liga, especially the double midfielders of the Bat Legion. The system is still in use today.

Later, when he went to Inter Milan, Moratti also had high hopes, and the Argentine coach's style of play was also very suitable for the Serie A style, but the Inter Milan he coached was still close to the champions, and Cooper's team leadership style also inspired him. It aroused the disgust of many big-name players in the team, such as Ronaldo.

"To some extent, Cooper is the closest Inter Milan coach to the champion in the past few years, but he also has big problems. First of all, he can't use technical players well. In La Liga, or in Serie A, it is the same, it has something to do with his football philosophy."

A head coach's philosophy determines his employment to some extent.

Just like Cooper and Ronaldo, the conflict between them stems from the completely different ideas of the two. The Argentine pays attention to the whole and requires every player to strictly follow his tactical arrangements without any overstepping.

But Ronaldo advocates free play. He has outstanding personal ability and imagination. He likes to play as he pleases. He is unwilling to defend, he does not like to train hard, and he is not even willing to mechanically follow the arrangements of the head coach.

The same principle also appeared in Cooper's treatment of technical players such as Seedorf and Pirlo.

To put it simply, what Cooper needs is a group of mechanical engineers who do not need to be creative, but only need to strictly follow his requirements to compete.

But this kind of concept can be used in small and medium teams, but it doesn't work at all when it comes to giant teams.

"Don't tell me, I really studied Cooper." Gao Han took Heynckes' words and said with a smile.

After hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Gao Han with interest, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Although Cooper has not been well-known for a long time, anyone familiar with European football will not doubt that he is definitely a head coach worthy of in-depth study, especially for La Liga and Serie A.

"I think Cooper's style of play is indeed suitable for Serie A, but it is not suitable for Serie A, because he is too conservative and stubborn, and lacks the flexibility to keep pace with the times. This is difficult to go far in the most targeted Serie A. .”

"Many people say that Serie A plays very conservatively. If you want to gain a foothold in Serie A, defense is the top priority, but I think, what is the difference between such a team and other Serie A teams? Really want to play defensive counterattacks, play Over Lippi, Capello and Ancelotti?"

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help nodding, Gao Han's words made sense.

Cooper's style is indeed very suitable for Serie A, but Lippi, Capello, Ancelotti and others are old fritters who have been immersed in Serie A for decades. Italian football has been integrated into their blood and has become their daily thinking. a part of.

If you want to compete in Serie A in the Italian way, what are your chances of winning?

"Juventus, from Lippi to Capello, has been pursuing a balance of offense and defense. It is not that AC Milan has never pursued beautiful football, but they have not received good results. After Ancelotti came to power, even with four players A No. 10 player, but in fact he is still playing defensive counterattacks, but with more elements of passing and control."

"From them, it is not difficult to see that if you want to gain a foothold in Serie A, the core issue is not whether to pay attention to defense, but whether to build a strict overall tactical framework."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what Gao Han meant.

"From Atletico Madrid to Chelsea, and then to Greece winning the European Cup, the facts have proved one thing. In the strict overall tactical framework, it doesn't matter even if you use all technical players. As long as the tactical execution is in place, the defense will still not Poor, and the technical midfielder can definitely bring more changes and create more opportunities than the defensive midfielder."

Valencia's double midfielders, Albelda and Baraja, are not the typical defensive midfielders, but their combination has straightened the Bat Corps and become a team that cannot be underestimated in La Liga. share power.

The same goes for Atlético Madrid's midfield, with Xavi Alonso and Marcos Senna also not a defensive midfielder in the traditional sense, but they still kept the defense of the Sheets intact.

At Chelsea, although Makelele is a traditional midfielder, Deco and Veron are not, and Gao Han has tried Parker many times, and even later he considered introducing Carrick, just wanting to replace Makelele with Carrick. lai.

He is confident that as long as the three midfield combination of Deco, Carrick and Veron is implemented properly, the defense will definitely not be bad, but the organization, creativity, and even fluency of the midfield must be improved to another level.

Not only many fans, but even many head coaches are worried about the technical midfielder and feel that it is too thin. As everyone knows, it is not the players themselves who are thin, but the team's overall tactics.

AC Milan used Pirlo to kick the midfielder, which undoubtedly proved Gao Han's judgment.

Even Gao Han believes that if Ancelotti further improves the team's technical and tactical style of play, he may not be able to give up Gattuso.

At the very least, Pirlo is definitely not as weak as the outside world imagines.

Of course, Ancelotti will definitely not do this, because he now has such a lineup suitable for this style of play.

From Gao Han's words, Aragones and others finally heard that this kid still does not change his ideology. Even in Serie A, he still has to continue to implement his football ideology.

"It seems that you are still planning to bring the pass control and high defensive style of play to Serie A!" Aragones praised with a smile.

As a head coach, it is very rare to be able to stick to one's own philosophy.

For example, everyone respects Bielsa, that's it.

Gao Han smiled slightly, "You just think I'm stubborn, anyway, the more they think it's impossible, the more I'm going to try."

"But can Inter Milan's lineup adapt to your style of play?" Bosque asked, frowning.

With the current lineup of Inter Milan, there are many veterans, as well as young players, and there are many superstars such as Vieri in the team. It may take a lot of effort to adapt them to this style of play in the cold.

But Gao Han shook his head, with a stern look on his face, "With Cooper's lessons learned, there is no room for a little soft-heartedness in this matter, even for some players I admire very much."

Everyone understood what Gao Han meant.

Especially members of the coaching staff such as Cantarero are aware of Gao Han's determination.

In addition to his own problems, Cooper's tragedy at Inter Milan was due to the superstars in the locker room.

On the other hand, if Cooper can integrate the team and twist everyone into one rope, then with the strength of Inter Milan at the time, it may be difficult to say who can win the championship.

The reason why Gao Han agreed to coach Inter Milan is that Moratti promised that he would completely withdraw from the training base and locker room, and unconditionally support everything Gao Han did in Inter Milan.

The same commitment came from club president Facchetti, who also decided to support Gao Han unconditionally.

It is precisely because of the promise of several bigwigs from Inter Milan that Gao Han is determined to accept this challenge.

And this time he also learned from his previous experience and lessons at Chelsea, and once again wrote the termination clause into the contract.

However, he believes that the man who is eager for talents should not be the type of Abramovich.

Thinking of Abramovich, Gao Han felt angry.

Although his counterattack with Mendes caused Chelsea to fall apart and greatly weakened his strength, he is only the head coach after all, and he can't do anything to the wealthy Chelsea and Abramovich for the time being.

There is a saying that a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late.

Sooner or later, he will definitely go back to the Premier League and avenge himself!

While Gao Han was thinking about it secretly, Cantarello on the side was thoughtful at first, and then lost his voice in surprise.

"What's the matter?" Everyone felt strange.

Cantarero pointed to himself, then pointed to colleagues around him one by one, and finally asked Gao Han, "Didn't you notice that one is missing?"

Today, Sergio Garcia has gradually retreated behind the scenes, specializing in data analysis, less involved in the team's daily training and management, and Pedro Haro is in charge of goalkeeper training. Tula is in charge of physical training, and Emery and Cantarero have always been partners before.

But now, Emery's coaching career has just started, and it is obvious that he will not come back.

Gao Han understood what Cantarello meant, and immediately laughed.

"Don't worry, I've found the right candidate."

"Who?" Cantarero asked curiously.

But Gao Han pretended to be unpredictable and shook his head: "You will know when the time comes."
