Super Marshal

"Champions League, we are back!"

Gao Han's bold words immediately became the headlines of major media outlets around the world.

In the history of the Champions League over the past many years, no team or head coach has ever dared to directly challenge so many teams, but Gao Han's words made the entire European football world All the teams were trembling.

Yes, after a year's absence, Gao Han finally led Bayern Munich back to the Champions League.

He is still the invincible him.

Bayern Munich became another invincible team in his hands.

His words not only ignited the passion of Bayern Munich fans, but also excited the entire German football world.

Over the years, the Bundesliga has been gradually forgotten, even ignored, and has completely become the fourth or even fifth league in Europe. It may not even receive as much attention as the French Ligue 1.

But in the minds of every Bundesliga fan, they still remember the glory of the Bundesliga teams in European football from the late 1990s to the beginning of this century. At that time, the powerful Bundesliga teams were killing all directions and were invincible. .

But all this disappeared completely with the bankruptcy of Kirsch Group.

Ever since Bayer Leverkusen reached the Champions League final in 2002, but lost to Real Madrid superstar Zidane, no team in the Bundesliga has entered the final in six years. Champions League semi-finals.

Although many Bundesliga fans have strong opinions on Bayern Munich, they have to admit that the Bundesliga giant does represent the image of the Bundesliga in the Champions League and is the most competitive Bundesliga in the European competition in the past few years. team.

A year ago, Bayern Munich unexpectedly failed to qualify for the Champions League. As a result, last season's Bundesliga teams were completely wiped out in the European competition. The only team to qualify from the group was Schalke 04, but this team The team also stopped in the knockout round of the top 16 and could not go any further.

This is not the first time that there is no Bundesliga team among the top eight teams, but this time the defeat was obviously worse.

Therefore, when Gao Han shouted "UEFA Champions League, we are back!" with great ambition in an interview with UEFA, the entire German football world was excited, as if he heard something from the heyday of the Bundesliga at the turn of the century. the sound of.

Everyone also believes that Gao Han will be able to lead Bayern Munich to regain its former peak. The Bundesliga giant will become a lingering nightmare for all the Champions League giants this season.

So, the next day, many Bayern Munich and German fans who followed the team to Monaco gathered at the Grimaldi Conference Center and gathered at the door, waiting for the arrival of Gao Han and Bayern Munich.

But what surprised them was that the first to arrive at the scene were Guardiola and Barcelona players.

As the treble champions of last season's Champions League, Barcelona has its own aura of protagonist. It aroused the cheers of the audience as soon as it came on the scene. It instantly killed countless media reporters. The gentle and elegant Guardiola also became the focus of all media reporters.

Most of the media's questions revolve around the upcoming European Super Cup.

When a reporter asked Guardiola, as Gao Han's former favorite and assistant, whether it would help him defeat Gao Han, Guardiola said very sincerely that Gao Han was never invincible, but it was very difficult.

"He has an extremely keen tactical sense. He is always able to capture some details that others ignore before and during the game, and use these details to defeat his opponents. He is also the hardest-working head coach I have ever seen. Role models that I chase.”

Media reporters mentioned that Spanish media previously broke the news that Guardiola had sought advice from Gao Han many times. Even before the Champions League final, Gao Han even visited Barcelona's residence to have a long talk with Guardiola.

Guardiola frankly confirmed these rumors and said that he was indeed encouraged and helped by Gao Han.

"Yes, as the outside media said, the reason why I was able to coach Barcelona was because of his recommendation. Even I was a little resistant at the beginning because I felt that I was not ready yet, but he told me that he understood Me, I'm the kind of guy who's never ready, but he had confidence in me."

"His affirmation gave me great courage and made me determined to accept the challenge. Later, every time I encountered difficulties, I would call him and he would give me very pertinent opinions."

"He is my best friend, my teacher, and my most terrifying opponent."

At the end of the sentence, Guardiola himself couldn't help laughing.

Obviously, this is the highest praise he can give to Gao Han.

As for the upcoming game, Guardiola said that he will go all out.

"This is like an exam. I am a student and he is the examiner. It is time for me to hand over an answer sheet to him, and I also believe that no matter what the result is, this game will not affect our relationship. deep friendship.”

Not long after Guardiola walked into the Grimaldi Conference Center, Gao Han also led the Bayern Munich players to the venue, causing a sensation even worse than Guardiola just now.

The media reporters and fans at the scene almost broke out into riots, forcing the security guards who maintained order to quickly tighten their vigilance.

After Gao Han walked the red carpet, he also accepted interviews from media reporters as usual.

He said he had no contribution at all to what Guardiola had achieved.

"Pep is born to be a winner, I have no doubt about it. He has achieved unprecedented results. He won the Champions League treble in his first season as coach. This is an amazing and outstanding achievement. I feel for him. pride."

Regarding the things rumored by the media, Gao Han said that they were all false. The reason why he showed up at Barcelona before the final was to visit his players and old friends.

"I also went to Manchester United's base and visited Ferguson and the players, but they lost." Gao Han defended.

“I would like to say that Guardiola is a very, very good coach with the ability to think independently. If I were to judge, I think he was one of the two best coaches in Europe last season.

"The other one? No, no, no, of course it's not me, it's Ferguson from Manchester United." Gao Han laughed.

After finally getting rid of the media reporters, Gao Han finally entered the Grimaldi Conference Center. He breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with the media was more tiring than playing a game.

But the atmosphere in the lobby of the conference center was obviously not much better than outside. Especially after Gao Han appeared, everyone turned their attention to him, and many people were wary.

"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Gao Han shrugged innocently.

Players such as Guardiola and Paul Futre, who were standing next to him, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also invited to attend the award ceremony, almost went berserk.

Is this person too outrageous?

Could it be that he didn’t know what he had done?

"I'm telling you, boss, you can just ask this in front of us. We respect you and will tolerate you, but if you ask outside, you will be beaten." After Cristiano Ronaldo said, I laughed out loud myself.

Everyone around him was amused and nodded, it was indeed true.

Is it too pretentious?

He had spoken out loud in the media before, so he still expected those wealthy teams to be nice to him?

"To be honest, I also doubt whether I should keep a little distance from you." Guardiola smiled.

Gao Han was helpless. Was he destined to be the lone star of the evil spirits?

"To be honest, they are definitely not afraid of you now, but they are looking at you and praying in their hearts, just like me, please don't win this..." Paul Futrey started directly. Gao Han's joke.

Although he didn't finish his words, everyone knew that the last sentence was definitely not a good thing.

Gao Han himself found it funny. It seemed that what he said during the interview yesterday made them uneasy.

However, he didn't mind that.

The reason why he behaved so high-profile in the media was to boost the team's morale.

Although Bayern Munich has performed well in the Bundesliga over the years, it has not had convincing results in European competitions. It lacks self-confidence to some extent, and even the entire German football world is like this.

The key to knowing shame and then being brave is not to know shame, but to be brave afterward.

Since it didn't matter, Gao Han didn't pay attention.

After talking to Paul Futre, Gao Han asked about Atletico Madrid's transfer situation with concern.

Just yesterday, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea officially announced at the same time that the Russian Tsar officially joined the Blues Chelsea for a worth of 40 million euros, which also made the Russian the top bidder in the summer transfer market.

From Paul Futre, Gao Han learned that after selling Arshavin, Atletico Madrid will make every effort to retain the two superstars Villa and Torres to ensure the team's frontcourt offensive firepower.

Both players have received offers from Premier League teams Liverpool and Manchester City respectively.

Not only that, before Arshavin moved to Chelsea, he even almost went to Manchester City. The latter also offered the same price and even gave the players a higher salary.

"Twice the annual salary?" Gao Han was a little surprised. He didn't expect Manchester City to be so generous.

You know, players are different from head coaches. A team has dozens of players, but only one head coach. Therefore, when teams pay players, they often have to carefully consider the team's salary structure.

"After the Abu Dhabi consortium acquired Manchester City, it became rich and rich, and the oil diggers were not short of money." Paul Futre had contact with Manchester City and was obviously quite shocked by the generosity of the Manchester City team.

"Actually, it's not just Arshavin, they are also competing with Chelsea for Robinho."

"Oh?" Gao Han became interested.

After Robinho fell out with the Real Madrid management, he has been hooking up with Chelsea for a long time, and his agent Mendes has had no news recently and seems to have been busy with operations.

First, he created Arshavin, the standard-bearer. If he can sell Robinho for a higher price, Mendes will really make a lot of money.

"I have also heard that. It is said that Manchester City has offered a high price of 45 million euros for Robinho, and Chelsea is also determined to win Robinho. Rijkaard's plan is to get Robinho and Robinho. Arshavin’s devil wings, so…”

When Paul Futrey said this, he smiled ambiguously at Gao Han, as if to say, you understand.

Of course Gao Han understands that this guy Mendes wants to compete with the snipe and the clam to benefit the fishermen.

However, considering the situation of Manchester City, it may be really difficult. Last season, they only finished ninth in the league and did not qualify for European competitions. Who would want to go?

At this moment, the organizer's staff came out to inform the guests to enter.

Gao Han also calmed down, greeted Guardiola and the players, and walked to the venue on the second floor.

He is looking forward to it even more now, wanting to see who will be so unlucky to draw him and his Bayern Munich.
