Super Marshal

"Have you read this morning's paper?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Let's take a look. It helps with digestion."

In the restaurant of the Sebena training base, Cantarero gently pushed a newspaper in his hand in front of Gao Han.

Gao Han turned it over and saw that it was a German newspaper that was not very famous but still had some sales in Munich. The headline on the front page was bombarding Gao Han.

The reason is also very simple. What Gao Han said at the post-match press conference was, "You have nothing to say now, right?"

The newspaper's front-page headlines were tit for tat, "We have something to say!"

In this report, the reporter listed facts and data, and started to criticize whenever he disagreed. The logic is quite strict, which means that the 5-0 victory over Cottbus does not mean that Bayern Munich's defense is good. no problem.

On the contrary, in this five-goal victory, Cottbus did not have no chance. Bayern Munich's defense also made many mistakes, especially on the left side of Marcelo. The target that the opponent focuses on attacking.

"Now, everyone in the entire Bundesliga and even the entire European football world knows that the left wing is Bayern Munich's Achilles' heel. All teams facing the Bundesliga giants know to attack this side, but Gao Han is still immersed in it. In the midst of his past glory, he becomes superstitious about his favorite players."

In the report, the reporter described Gao Han as a headstrong, even a little complacent guy. Originally, the left back Lahm could perform well, and there are also young players from the youth training such as Glitz and Lyle on the right, who are at least better than Marcelo. Much more reliable.

But Gao Han is unwilling to use them, but stubbornly uses Marcelo, and sooner or later he will suffer a big loss.

Gao Han finished reading the report and burst into laughter.

"It's quite logical, not bad."

Thomas Tuchel, who was sitting next to him, also took the newspaper, glanced at the reporter's name, and nodded: "Well, this reporter is also somewhat famous in Munich. His writing skills are always good and he is quite popular."

"You really shouldn't mess with them." Cantarero sighed.

He has always been a cautious person. He had just arrived and could be said to be unfamiliar with the place, but he took the initiative to provoke those media reporters. Why bother? Don’t you think you’ve scolded me enough?

"They provoked me first, please clarify the order." Gao Han reminded with a smile.

These days, for the sake of sales, some tabloids almost catch and scold anyone based on their popularity.

Marcelo did not perform well before, so they used the Brazilian left-back to scold Gao Han. It was nothing more than Bayern Munich spending more than 100 million euros, but in the end they didn't even have a left-back. Isn't this outrageous?

But Gao Han was not happy. Who said that after spending more than 100 million euros, there must be a left-back?

Later, the team lost two games in a row, and Marcelo had to bear some responsibility for it. Some tabloid media began to target Gao Han again, accusing the team's left defense of being stubborn and Gao Han failing to produce effective results. Solution.

Therefore, after the 5-0 score against Cottbus, Gao Han made a joke to them. Who knew that neither of them could afford it.

"It's not like you don't know that tabloids are so virtuous these days. The more you provoke them, the more they will get involved. If you look at Bild, their attitude is more neutral and objective, and so is Kicker magazine. After all, this is a major newspaper."

Cantarero glanced at Gao Han, as if to say, you must understand these principles, why do you still make such a mistake?

"This time, I support Carlos's opinion." Sergio Garcia also spoke out.

"I still remember that you told me before that you Chinese people have an old saying, oh, yes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Now you are offending those villains."

The two assistants put forward their opinions at the same time, Gao Han responded with a smile, then looked at Thomas Tuchel who was hesitant to speak, and smiled again, "Needless to say, Thomas, you must also think that I shouldn't be like this. Dry."

Everyone acted like you just know it, keep a low profile, and adjust the team with peace of mind.

"There is a saying that is right, a fly will not bite a seamless egg. The one crack in our egg is the left back."

Gao Han sighed, "Marcelo is only nineteen years old. What do you want from a nineteen-year-old boy?"

After being reminded by Gao Han, everyone realized that Marcelo was indeed still very young.

"He was born in the Brazilian league, which emphasizes offense over defense. Maybe no one taught him how to defend since he was a child. When he came to Europe, he was sculpted by Capello for a while, but he was still adapting. When he came to us this season, he started to When you play a game, mistakes are inevitable.”

"Remember, I once told you that when using young people, we must allow young people to make mistakes. It's like we can't encourage players to be creative while requiring them to pass every ball steadily. That's not true. It’s possible, how can there be such a good thing in the world?”

"To be honest, I am very optimistic about Marcelo. Otherwise, I would not have hired him from Real Madrid. And from my point of view, he has indeed improved a lot in the past few games. As time goes by, this kid will definitely It can happen, but the prerequisite is that this group of unscrupulous media reporters cannot keep an eye on him."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood Gao Han's intention.

After all, he is the head coach of the team and he needs to stand up and protect his players. This is his responsibility.

And at times like now, the one who can shift the media focus the most is undoubtedly Gao Han.

No, what he said casually would immediately become the headlines of every tabloid newspaper tomorrow. They even wrote articles to counterattack, which meant that Gao Han was what they were really interested in.

"Our ancestor Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that the enemy must be surrounded, which means that you must leave a way for the opponent. Since everyone knows that our left is our weakness and they all like to attack our left, then that's good Ah, I will release the left wing for you to attack, and use them to train Marcelo."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Gao Han had previously focused on practicing defense and protection on the left side, not just to stabilize the defense, but also to deal with the opponent's strategy of attacking the left side.

On the contrary, the defense on the right wing where Ram is stationed has always been very stable, and the opponent really has little interest.

Sometimes, deliberately exposing flaws and luring the opponent to attack is also a clever way to defeat the enemy.

"Next, no matter what the outside media say, the team does not respond internally, the training is still carried out in an orderly manner. Marcelo has made good progress. Next, we will focus on training his blocking position and improve his defense as soon as possible."

At this point, Gao Han snorted and smiled, "As long as the defense can improve, Marcelo will definitely become the best left back in Europe and even the world, which will open the eyes of those blind reporters."

Sergio Garcia, a young man and Gao Han's best friend for many years, immediately followed suit.

But joking aside, Gao Han and others are all clear about the urine nature of media reporters.

They may not really doubt Gao Han's vision and coaching ability, but because they know better that confronting Gao Han can stimulate sales, so they do it without hesitation.

But what Gao Han and others didn't know was that while they were talking, Marcelo, who had arrived at the training base early, happened to walk to the door of the restaurant and heard their conversation from a distance.

The head coach's words warmed the young Marcelo's heart and he was very grateful.

But he quickly calmed down, grinned, and walked in with a smile.

Over the weekend, we ushered in the eighth round of Serie A.

This time, Bayern Munich went to the Bayer Arena to challenge Bayer Leverkusen away from home.

Skibe's team had a very unsatisfactory start to the season. First, they suffered a series of upsets, which made all the fans very dissatisfied. Especially in the first two rounds of the league, they lost to Cottbus at home and away to Hamburg. Kibbe almost collapsed.

But in the following five league rounds, Leverkusen performed quite well with four wins and one draw.

This also gave Skibe the confidence to have a big fight with Bayern Munich at home, and even made words early before the game that Gao Han would never come back.

But embarrassingly, Leverkusen only lasted forty minutes.

Klose's goal gave Bayern Munich the lead going into halftime.

At the last moment of the second half, it was substitute Podolski's goal in the 91st minute that helped Bayern Munich win Leverkusen 2-0.

Another victory, another clean sheet!

But it was Werder Bremen who was the most popular in this round. They won eight goals at home and won the applause of the whole house.

But Bayern Munich, with eight consecutive victories, still firmly occupies the top spot, leaving other Bundesliga teams behind.

The games in September have ended and October has entered.

Bayern Munich's first game in October was the second leg of the first knockout round of the UEFA Cup. After winning 2-0 at home, they went to Portugal to challenge Belenenses away.

This time, the Bundesliga giants relied on their offensive start in the away game to completely suppress Belenenses, and with two goals from Aguero and Vidal in the first half, they won again 2-0 away from home.

As a result, Bayern Munich successfully advanced to the group stage with a total score of 4-0.

The day after all the knockout rounds of the UEFA Cup were played, UEFA held a group stage draw ceremony in Nyon, Switzerland.

But Bayern Munich's luck was not good either. They were selected to play Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League, Braga in the Portuguese Super League, Aris in Greece, and Red Star Belgrade in Serbia.

Five teams play four rounds, two home and two away. The top three teams in the group advance, and the eight teams ranked third in the group stage eliminated from the Champions League form the top 32 knockout rounds.

After playing in the UEFA Cup, Bayern Munich returned to Germany and sat at the Allianz Arena to welcome Nuremberg.

In their own territory, the Bundesliga giants firmly controlled the situation from the first minute of the game, giving Nuremberg no chance, and the latter's stubborn resistance only lasted half an hour.

After seeing his opponent struggling to hold on for half an hour and losing physical strength, Gao Han decisively used his skill cards to strengthen his offensive.

As a result, in the 31st and 40th minutes, Bayern Munich scored two goals from Klose and Modric respectively, taking a 2-0 lead into the halftime break.

After that, the game changed sides in the second half, and Gao Han made substitution adjustments, but Klose scored another victory for Bayern Munich in the 81st minute, and finally locked the score at 3-0.

Another clean sheet!

At the post-game press conference, Gao Han looked happily at the embarrassed reporters in front of him. He had won again.

After playing Nuremberg, the Bundesliga was suspended for another two weeks in order to accommodate the national team games.

And Gao Han also took advantage of the suspension of the league to rush to complete a major event that had been planned for a long time.
