Super Marshal
Chapter 874 Rookie Wall
"Hello!"
While Raul and Rakitic, who were far away in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, were discussing Gao Han, Gao Han sneezed heavily at the Chinatown training base in the south of Madrid. He had a cold.
With the promotion of the new stadium project in Chinatown, Gao Han has too many things to be busy with, and travels between Manchester and Madrid even more frequently. Sometimes he even spends time in Manchester during the day, returns to Madrid at night, and flies back early the next morning.
During this period, he was like a flying man. Fortunately, the team has old partners such as Brian Kidd and Sergio Garcia. They all understand Gao Han and clearly understand Gao Han's requirements, so everything goes smoothly for Manchester City.
After playing Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage, Manchester City began to enter the physical adjustment period during the winter break. They defeated West Ham United 3-1 away and defeated Everton 2-1 at home. Both games were significantly rotated. , the performance is not stable.
But everyone can see that Gao Han is taking the initiative to prepare for the Christmas schedule.
After playing the 18th round of the Premier League on the 18th, the team ushered in an eight-day window, and the next game will not be until December 26th.
Therefore, after organizing the Christmas dinner, Gao Han decided to take two days off so that the whole team could spend time with his family in advance. He also took this opportunity to return to Madrid to deal with some matters.
During this period when Manchester City was making great progress, Chinatown's performance during this period was relatively stable.
After a 1-1 draw with Valencia in the twelfth round, Chinatown first defeated Zaragoza 3-0 away from home, and then defeated Sevilla 1-0 at home, ushering in two consecutive victories.
But in the fifteenth round, the team challenged Getafe away and staged the Madrid Southern Derby. As a result, they unexpectedly lost 0-1 in the away game in Chinatown and failed to win Getafe.
However, a week later, Chinatown returned to their home court to welcome Real Mallorca. In the end, with Hazard's pass and shot, Michu and Aubameyang's goals, they defeated Real Mallorca 3-1. Headed into Christmas with a win.
After sixteen rounds, Chinatown ranks third in the La Liga standings with 36 points, behind Barcelona with 43 points and Real Madrid with 41 points. The most powerful contender for the championship.
After Chinatown, Valencia is in fifth place with 28 points and Atletico Madrid is in fifth place with 27 points.
In the scorer list, although Michu failed to continue his amazing scoring momentum before the season, he also scored frequently, closely chasing behind Messi with 14 goals. The Barcelona superstar advanced to 17th in the 16th round. ball, leading the La Liga scorer list.
This time Gao Han returned to Madrid because he wanted to re-discuss and study the use of Michu in the second half with Pochettino and Cantarero, especially when other league competitors began to increase their defense against Michu. Next, if Michu's technical and tactical characteristics are better utilized to ensure Chinatown's scoring ability.
…………
…………
"I never believed in the so-called rookie wall or anything like that."
When talking about the evaluation of Michu's performance by many media, Gao Han made no secret of his disdain.
"Every player's status will have ups and downs, that's for sure. Michu has scored 14 goals in 16 rounds so far, which is not low in efficiency. The other top scorer in La Liga has only scored 11 goals, and It is simply impossible for us to hold Michu to the same standards as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, it is unfair to him."
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are recognized as the two biggest superstars in the world, with superb scoring ability, while Michu is just a midfielder brought in by Chinatown for one million euros, and he broke out after transformation. A very unique scorer.
The reason why he is said to be different is because he can be at the forefront and rely on his personal ability to score goals, and he can also cooperate with other teammates. He has excellent ball control skills at his feet and has repeatedly performed exquisite ball control in the penalty area. , but at the same time he also has excellent air superiority and is of great tactical use.
But coaches in professional leagues are not just freeloaders. At the beginning, Michu was able to rely on his freshness to catch them off guard. But once he enters their focus, the defensive pressure on Michu will be greater than that of others. It used to be bigger.
This is why Michu's scoring efficiency has declined, and he even performed mediocrely in many games.
"Now Michu has adapted to the task of attacking in the frontcourt. As the team's arrowhead, he can complete the task well, but I feel that in the second half after the winter break, the opponent's attack on him The marking will become tighter and tighter, and the pressure he will bear will also increase, and he must learn to adapt to playing under the opponent's tight defense."
Everyone also understood what Gao Han meant.
Since Michu's sudden success at the beginning of the season, many teams did not pay enough attention to him, which resulted in Michu's eye-catching performance. However, as other teams gradually paid attention to him, Michu's performance declined.
Now is the winter break, and every team will use this period of time to adjust and study. In the future, every team that encounters Chinatown may treat Michu as the number one superstar to defend.
"His header is very good and his running awareness is very strong, so I think that when we encounter the opponent's tight defense and fail to form effective control within the 30-meter area, Michu should actively retreat. , and even retreated deeper.”
As Gao Han spoke, he moved back the chess piece representing Michu on the tactical board.
"In this case, we can play more directly. For example, Mourinho used Drogba when he was at Chelsea, using Michu as the tactical fulcrum to launch the attack. Hazard on the left is good at controlling The ball, Aubameyang on the right has a strong impact, James Rodriguez is good at passing fatal balls, and our wings..."
"As long as we can use Michu to pull out the opponent's defense, especially if it is deeper, then our offense will have more space, and don't forget, the attacking midfielder and midfielder are both activities that Michu is very familiar with. area, we should get back his feel for the area."
After everyone listened to Gao Han's words, everyone felt suddenly enlightened.
Especially Pochettino, he really admires Gao Han's ability in offensive organization. Problems that he originally thought were very difficult were easily solved in Gao Han's hands.
Of course, this also proves that Gao Han did make considerable preparations beforehand.
"Speaking of James Rodriguez, I have a problem here." Cantarero said with a frown.
"What's the trouble?" Everyone looked at the technical director.
"We have just received an official fax from the Colombian Football Federation. They hope that we can allow James Rodriguez to return to South America in mid-January to participate in the U20 South American Youth Championship."
"South American Youth Championship?" Gao Han frowned. Of course he knew about these competitions.
Each continent has its own national team youth competition, and youth competitions like South America often select several teams to represent their continents in the World Youth Championship.
"If I remember correctly, this seems to be a big competition year in South America."
Gao Han's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
In order to stagger the two major events of the World Cup and European Cup, continents such as South America and Africa often arrange their continental cup competitions in odd years. 2011 should be the Copa America in South America.
"Yes, and the Colombian Football Association also expressed in the fax that we hope we can support their work."
"What job?" Pochettino asked concerned.
"The U20 South American Youth Championship, which starts in mid-January, lasts for one month, but starting in June, Colombia's U20 will participate in the Toulon Cup in France, while in early July is the Copa America in Argentina and in early August is the World Youth Championship."
"World Youth Championship?" Gao Han was surprised, "What World Youth Championship will Colombia play in?"
"Have you forgotten?" Cantarero reminded with a wry smile, "The host of this year's World Youth Championship is Colombia, so they formed a team in advance to play the Toulon Cup, and the Colombian national team coach Eduardo Lara also Call in person and ask us to let James Rodriguez play for the national team."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh bitterly. This schedule is quite intensive.
Strictly speaking, Chinatown really can't refuse, because FIFA has strict regulations on this. Based on James Rodriguez's performance in Chinatown and La Liga this season, he must be a member of Colombia's two-level national team. If Chinatown, the core force, refuses to let go, they might even sue FIFA.
After all, this year's World Youth Championship is being held in Colombia, and the whole country must be paying attention, eagerly counting on results.
As for the players, playing for their country is an opportunity that all South American players will not let go easily.
However, as a result, James Rodriguez may miss the games from mid-January to mid-February, as well as all training preparations this summer.
"What do you think of this?" Gao Han looked at Pochettino.
This is not only a sign of respect for the coach, but also a request for Pochettino's opinion.
Pochettino smiled bitterly and replied: "It seems we can't refuse, right?"
The competition between the national team and the club has been going on for a long time, and Chinatown is not the team that suffers the most.
In fact, this issue has already been on the table of the club management after the team performed well.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about Spain, De Gea, Carvajal, Alba, Isco, Koke, Illarramendi, Igor Martinez, Morata and Jose, Chinatown has a large number of players selected as Spanish national players at all levels, no less than Real Madrid and Barcelona.
This is a recognition of the strength of Chinatown's youth training, and it is also the reason why many Spanish young players are flocking to Chinatown. Everyone hopes to enter Chinatown in order to become talented and be selected for national teams at all levels.
In addition, people like Otamendi, Hazard, Alderweireld and others have also been selected for the national team. Otamendi also represented Argentina in the World Cup, which made Chinatown also begin to be affected by the national team competition. Impact.
That's a good thing, but it's also not a good thing.
"By the way, how is Rakitic's transfer going?" Gao Han suddenly asked with concern.
If Schneiderlin transfers to Atletico Madrid and James Rodriguez goes to the national team, Chinatown's midfield will be seriously short of players from mid-January to mid-February. This is what Gao Han has to do. One thing to guard against.
"We have already been in contact with him and his agent, and the progress has just started. I plan to go to Gelsenkirchen in person in the next few days. If I can convince him, I will try to get Schalke 04 before Christmas. ." Cantarero replied.
Gao Han nodded seriously and said, "Then you must be quick. If necessary, call me."
"Well, don't worry, there shouldn't be any need to dispatch you." Cantarero said with a confident smile.
He is now also a highly respected god in European football, and he is confident that he can deal with Rakitic.
"In addition, Mauricio, speed up the training of Isco and Koke. We will need them very much next." Gao Han warned.
Pochettino nodded, "I understand."
