Chapter 958 Lessons from the Past

Some people say that Paris is like a charming oil painting, changing its beauty with the changing seasons.

So, Paris in November is like a frosty beauty.

The 16th arrondissement of Paris is considered the wealthiest neighborhood in Paris, and the famous Bois de Boulogne is located here.

Stendhal, Balzac, Maupassant and Zola have all described this forest in their novels. They all described it as a holy place for lovers to meet. The famous novelist Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" He also wrote about this forest in his novel, which was later adapted into a movie by Hollywood, and even went to the 16th arrondissement to shoot the scene.

In this eight-square-kilometer forest, there is not only the elegance and romance of Paris during the day, but also the romance and debauchery after nightfall. It is like a microcosm of Paris, attracting countless writers and painters to visit here.

In the early morning, run along the tree-shaded path in the quiet forest, and bathe in this natural oxygen bar, which makes your whole body soothing.

After moving into the villa in District 16, this became Gao Han's great enjoyment every morning.

Waking up after adequate sleep is the time when a person is most energetic. There are not many people in the forest, which is perfect for running and thinking about problems in the cold weather.

Paris Saint-Germain's coaching has gone smoothly. With the help of the coaching system, the team's performance has always remained stable. The huge investment of more than 300 million euros has made Paris Saint-Germain's overall strength superior to other teams in Ligue 1 and the Europa League. , which makes it not difficult for Paris Saint-Germain to win.

Brest, Ywein, Nice, Montpellier, Ligue 1, Ajaccio, Dijon and Kahn. Unconsciously, Paris Saint-Germain has won 12 consecutive French Ligue 1 victories, and the team's running-in is also Getting more and more in place.

With the help of skill cards, the performances of Neymar, Pastore, Lucas Moura and other young players have steadily improved. With Pirlo in the midfield, Paris Saint-Germain quickly integrated The powerful attacking power swept the entire Ligue 1 league.

Even in the Europa League, Paris Saint-Germain won three consecutive games in the group stage and basically advanced to the top of the group ahead of schedule, including a 2-0 away game against Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao.

It can be said that since the start of the league, everything has been developing in a favorable direction for Paris Saint-Germain. According to Gao Han's plan, this season will focus on training, and the Champions League next season will be the season where Paris Saint-Germain focuses its efforts. .

What really gave him a headache was Chinatown.

Pochettino's team won unanimous praise after winning the Madrid Southern Derby and defeating Getafe. Almost everyone believed that Chinatown has become the strongest, most appealing and influential place in the southern part of La Liga. A strong team, its ranking in the La Liga standings has also rapidly improved to seventh place.

But just when everyone thought Chinatown was about to start showing off, the team suddenly lost three games in a row, first losing to Levante 0-1 away from home, and then losing 1-2 at home to Levante. Real Madrid then lost to newly promoted Rayo Vallecano 0-1 away from home, and their league ranking fell to ninth place.

Fortunately, a few days ago, Chinatown defeated the Espanyol with difficulty 2-1.

Aubameyang scored in the first five minutes, but before the end of the first half, Vazquez equalized the score. It was not until the 73rd minute of the second half that Rakiti scored the winning goal, finally helping China City wins at home.

This victory moved Chinatown up one spot in the standings, to eighth place, but it is still twelve points behind the current top team, Real Madrid, and four points away from Levante, which is fourth in the league. As much as eight points.

In the Champions League group stage, after defeating Zenit 2-1 at home in the first round, they drew 1-1 away from Shakhtar Donetsk, and also drew 1-1 away from Porto in the third round.

The situation in Group G was very close to what Gao Han had expected. After three rounds, the four teams were very close to each other. Chinatown won the group with one win and two draws. Porto and Zenit were both first. There was one win, one draw and one loss. Zenit defeated Porto 3-1 at home and took advantage, ranking second in the group. Porto ranked third in the group, while Shakhtar Donetsk was last in points with two draws and one loss.

But there are still three rounds left in the group stage, everything is still possible, and it is still unclear who will win.

Looking at the schedule so far this season, if we look purely at results, Chinatown's performance is indeed acceptable. Ranking eighth in La Liga is indeed unsatisfactory, but the first place in the Champions League group stage can completely make up for it. This is why the media is relatively tolerant of Pochettino.

But judging from the performance on the court, Chinatown is hardly satisfactory.

According to the plan given by Gao Han in September to improve the team's offense, Pochettino listened, but the team's execution and adjustment were very problematic. This resulted in Chinatown's offense on the court being unable to let go. Compared with last season, the offense has declined a lot.

So far this season, what many media have ridiculed Pochettino the most is that once the offense cannot be opened, he will replace Isco, and the Spanish youngster has also performed very well and can create surprises every time he plays. , can always use his skillful dribbling and breakthrough to disrupt the opponent's defense and create opportunities for Chinatown.

But this also reflects from the side that Pochettino is indeed somewhat powerless in the team's offense.

On the defensive end, Miranda and Godin have integrated well. The team's defense is not a big problem. Both central defenders performed very well. Coupled with the rotation of the two young players Varane and De Vrij, Chinatown Defense is no longer a problem.

As for conceding a lot of goals, it is mainly because the frontcourt offense cannot open up the situation.

Regarding the team's current situation, Gao Han has always been in contact with technical director Cantarero, and he can understand the dilemma Pochettino is currently facing.

Starting from September, the team must be distracted by La Liga and the Champions League. This is the first time in the history of Chinatown. It is also a brand new challenge for Pochettino. In addition, Chinatown’s The thickness of the bench is mainly composed of young players, and there are many problems with rotation, so the performance cannot remain stable.

The adjustment plan given by Gao Han was unanimously recognized by the technical team and coaching staff, and the liberation of Hazard became the consensus of everyone. However, the consecutive double matches in September overwhelmed Chinatown and did not have enough time to adjust. And practice tactics can only rely on the players themselves to perform on the court.

In October, Hazard was injured again during the national team game and was absent for two weeks, which seriously affected the team's performance, which resulted in a three-game losing streak. Fortunately, during this period, Miranda and Godin's central defenders The combination is performing better and better, and the team is getting better and better at running in, making the team's defense very solid and only in the Champions League can it remain stable.

Gao Han is a head coach himself, so he can understand the problems Pochettino is facing now. The games are too intensive, one after another, without giving him a chance to breathe, even if he clearly knows that he made a mistake in the previous game. , but he didn’t have time to adjust at all, and he would have to do it again in the next game.

Why?

Because in a busy schedule, adjusting the player's body and condition is the key, followed by technical and tactical drills and adjustments.

Therefore, both Gao Han and Cantarero are very supportive of Pochettino. Even if the outside media and fans have doubts, Chinatown still supports the coach time and time again and expresses its firm support for Pochettino's coaching in the team. .

This is the benefit of the management knowing the ball.

Of course, Chinatown was not completely without gains during this period.

The schedule is intensive and the team is fighting on multiple fronts. Pochettino has to give more opportunities to young players, including De Bruyne, Firmino, Morata, Jese, Isco, Koke, Illarramen. Players such as Di, Verratti, Varane and De Vrij are constantly getting opportunities as substitutes or even starting games.

This group of young players in Chinatown also showed very good strength, especially De Bruyne. During Hazard's absence, he also showed a very good level and won the recognition and affirmation of the coaching staff. .

Pellet has become an iron man. So far this season, he has been playing almost every game and his performance is getting better and better. He has gradually integrated into the team. Although he does not score many goals, his tactical effect is very important and he has won unanimous recognition from the coaching staff. .

The biggest surprise for the team this season is that Aubameyang has scored eight goals in eleven league games, ranking only behind Messi, Higuain and Torres. He ranks fourth in the scorer list, surpassing With Soldado and Diego Costa, he became the top scorer in Chinatown this season.

Midfielder Rakitic also performed very well, scoring four goals, tied with Barcelona's Xavi, and is one of the midfielders with the most goals in La Liga this season.

Gao Han and the coaching staff are very clear that this is the tactical effect brought by Pellet, but it is far from tapping all the offensive potential of Chinatown. The first half of the 4-0 victory over Granada was the Real Chinatown.

After running around in the Bois de Boulogne, she came home sweating profusely. She went upstairs to take a hot bath and changed into dry clothes. When she went downstairs, Lin Xia had already prepared a delicious breakfast. .

Their family has never been in the habit of hiring servants, both at home and abroad.

Therefore, after having a child, Lin Xia rarely went out for runs with Gao Han, and spent more time with the child at home. There was a swimming pool and a gym at home, so she could also exercise by herself.

"Cancel the ticket to Madrid for me." Gao Han said while eating breakfast.

Lin Xia raised her head in surprise and looked at her husband, "Why did you suddenly stop going?"

Gao Han stopped using his chopsticks to pick up vegetables and sighed softly, "I thought about it just now and decided not to go."

After a pause, he said with some regret: "As a head coach myself, what I don't like the most is others gesticulating in front of me and interfering with my coaching ideas. But when it's my turn, I can't bear it. I always want to dictate to others and let them follow my ideas."

Having said this, Gao Han shook his head involuntarily, as if he was laughing at himself, but also as if he was introspecting.

It is true that Pochettino has no experience in the Champions League, and his coaching ability and influence are not as good as Gao Han's. But is this the reason why Gao Han is telling him what to do?

Since you trust Pochettino and appoint him as the team's head coach, shouldn't you trust him, support him, and believe that he can find a solution to the problem?

Isn't this an improvement for Pochettino?

"Do you still remember that when you first started learning to drive, we kept quarreling. Do you know why?" Gao Han suddenly asked.

Lin Xia rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Isn't it you? You claim to be an experienced driver with many years of driving experience, and you point fingers at me all day long in the car, yelling and scolding me? Look, my driving skills are not necessarily the same now. Worse than you, right?"

Gao Han smiled and nodded, that is, Lin Xia can now open a busy Paris market by herself.

"Today's Pochettino is like you who just started learning to drive. You said, we were so good at that time, but you couldn't stand me. Now Pochettino still respects me, but if I interfere more, I'm afraid we There will be more and more conflicts between them, and in the end..."

Van Gaal and Koeman's master-disciple turned against each other, which is a lesson for Gao Han.

"In this regard, I am not as good as Cantarero." Gao Han said with emotion.

Lin Xia looked at her husband with some surprise. He actually admitted that he was not as good as Cantarero?

At this moment, she suddenly felt that Gao Han had matured.
