Super Marshal

Paris Saint-Germain played a total of three league games and one Europa League match in November. The opponents were not strong, including Slava in Slovakia, Bordeaux, Nancy and Marseille in Ligue 1. In the end, the strong Ligue 1 teams were all defeated. He defeated his opponent almost without any danger.

No one is surprised by what Paris Saint-Germain has achieved this season.

This is not only because the Ligue 1 tycoons invested more than 300 million euros in the past summer, but also because their head coach is Gao Han. Everyone knows that with Gao Han’s status and achievements in world football, and his ability to dig and cultivate With the vision and ability of young players, coupled with Paris Saint-Germain's investment of more than 300 million euros, it is not surprising that Paris Saint-Germain has achieved this result. On the contrary, if there is no winning streak, it will be called an upset.

Entering December, Paris Saint-Germain first defeated Austria Salzburg 2-0 in an away game, and then defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-2 at home. With six consecutive victories, Paris Saint-Germain held its head high and topped the group stage. Qualifying, Athletic Bilbao qualified second in the group.

After playing the sixth round of the Europa League at the Parc des Princes, Gao Han specially invited Bielsa to dinner. The two had a rare long conversation and exchanged their coaching experiences. Bielsa also asked Gao Han about Bilbao. Gao Han also talked about everything he knew about the current situation of Hubei sports.

He feels that the biggest problem currently encountered by the Basque Lions is the organization of the midfield and backcourt. With a powerful center like Llorente in the frontcourt, if there is another commander-level player in the midfield and backcourt, the team will play better. More orderly.

Bielsa also fully agreed with Gao Han's analysis. He even said with regret that he really wanted to get a central defender like Javi Martinez, which could greatly improve the overall strength of Athletic Bilbao.

But unfortunately, the former Athletic Bilbao player is now worth a hundred times his worth, and is simply not something the Basque Lions can afford.

After playing in the Europa League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain played four Ligue 1 games in December, against Auxerre, Sochaux, Lille and Saint-Etienne, including away games against Lille and Saint-Etienne. Etienne's game was specially arranged to be held within three days in order to finish before the Christmas schedule. The opponent was strong and Paris Saint-Germain had a slight challenge.

But in the end, the French giants defeated their opponents without any danger.

At the end of the first half, Paris Saint-Germain leads the Ligue 1 standings with 19 consecutive victories. It can be said that it is the French Ligue 1 half-time champion with the greatest advantage in history. Everyone has basically concluded that the French Ligue 1 champion this season is not PSG. None other than Saint-Germain.

In the draw for the Europa League's top 32 knockout rounds, Paris Saint-Germain had quite ordinary luck. They were drawn by Lokomotiv Moscow from Russia. This is also a team with good strength. The February game also occupied the home court. Good, not easy to fight.

In the Champions League, Chinatown finally defeated Shakhtar Donetsk in the sixth round and won the right to qualify for the top spot in Group G. It attracted a lot of attention. Many media and fans expressed their appreciation for this outstanding team. The tenacious La Liga teams were impressed and all agreed that it was not easy for Chinatown to stand out from such a fierce group.

According to the draw rules of the Champions League knockout round of the top 16, the group leader met the second place in other groups, coupled with the principle of avoiding the same country, the result was that Chinatown ultimately avoided the stronger AC Milan and other giants, and did not draw Barcelona. For a weak team like us, we were lucky enough to get the Lyon team from Ligue 1.

After playing in the Champions League, Chinatown returned to La Liga and immediately drew 1-1 with Osasuna at home. They were winless for two rounds and came under considerable pressure. However, they soon experienced an explosion in the away game. With Aubameyang scoring twice, they defeated Valencia 2-0.

This is also the first time Chinatown has won against a top-ranked team in La Liga this season. Pochettino’s previous encounters with top-ranked teams such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Levante ended in failure, but this time After defeating Valencia 2-0, Chinatown breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Carvajal and Pellet who provided assists for Aubameyang.

After joining Chinatown, the Italian center did not score many goals, but his tactical role in the frontcourt became more and more obvious. The team had many offensive problems, but Pellet's strength and characteristics were gradually gained by the coaching staff and fans. and recognition from media reporters.

At the very least, one million euros to bring in such a center is considered a great value.

What's more, Pellet himself doesn't score many goals, but Aubameyang and Rakitic's goals have increased. If it weren't for the team's recent poor performance, Pellet would never have been criticized so much.

La Liga has finished seventeen rounds and ushered in the winter break.

Real Madrid topped the list with 43 points. Although Mourinho's team caused a lot of controversy due to the addition of James Rodriguez, it still performed smoothly in the end, while Guardiola's Barcelona So forty points follows closely behind.

As Gao Han expected before the season, after successively introducing two generals, Cesc Fabregas and Otamendi, Barcelona's weakness on the left is very obvious. Neither Abidal nor Adriano can be reassuring. Many La Liga teams have caught Barcelona's left wing.

Although they have only lost one game in seventeen rounds of the league this season, there have been four draws. Barcelona's point-scoring efficiency is still not as good as Real Madrid's, but Guardiola's team is still the strongest in La Liga and is still ahead of the Galaxy in terms of winning the championship. Battleship.

Atletico Madrid, Valencia, and Levante followed closely. Chinatown ranked sixth with 27 points, four points behind fourth-place Valencia and three points behind Levante. .

But after Chinatown, Osasuna and Espanyol both scored 26 points, and Sevilla scored 25 points. They were all very tight. If they relax a little bit, they are likely to be directly beaten by their opponents again. Pull down the European theater.

On the scorer list, Messi leads the way with 20 goals. Torres, Higuain and Aubameyang all scored 12 goals, ranking behind Messi and forming the second team in the La Liga scorer list. Array.

Just before the winter break, La Liga also ushered in a wave of coaching changes.

Racing Santander fired Cooper, the former coach of Valencia and Inter Milan who was once popular throughout Europe. His performance in La Liga this time was very sluggish. After receiving the news, Gao Han, an old acquaintance, Also full of sadness.

Michel Laudrup also resigned from Real Mallorca. His coaching results this season were not satisfactory. In addition, Villarreal, Zaragoza, Rayo Vallecano and other teams have also resigned. The coaching change is obviously aimed at avoiding relegation.

The chairman of the Spanish Coaches Association said in an interview with the media that this is a gamble by La Liga teams. They are too superstitious about changing coaches like changing swords, but do not improve their own internal management mechanisms.

"Many times, signings have nothing to do with the head coach. The team's lineup does not match the head coach's coaching style. The team should have found effective solutions through communication instead of changing coaches."

He also specifically mentioned Chinatown.

"I admire Chinatown Club's choice very much."

"After the glory of last season, Chinatown's performance has declined a lot this season, but when more and more people began to deny Pochettino, they unswervingly supported the Argentine. Technical Director Cantarero gave him a very good environment and atmosphere, allowing him to work with peace of mind."

"Now they are beginning to reap rewards. They have qualified first in the Champions League group stage and ranked sixth in La Liga. This report card is enough to explain to everyone, and we all believe that Pochettino's team will be even better in the second half of the season. Performance."

"Who dares to say that they have no hope of finishing in the top four?"

Although Pochettino's coaching in Chinatown has been highly praised, leading the team to a fourth place finish last season and qualifying from the Champions League group stage this season, he still lost to La Liga's Coach of the Year selection. Guardiola.

As for other awards, they basically have nothing to do with Chinatown. However, in the best team of the year, Alba was selected as the best left back and won everyone's recognition. This is also generally different from the left backs of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Strong relations, but in other positions, they are basically monopolized by the top three.

In addition to La Liga, the selection and awarding of various awards in continental Europe have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and there is an endless stream.

In Ligue 1, Neymar was elected the Ligue 1 Foreign Player of the Year.

This talented star who just transferred from Brazil to Paris Saint-Germain this summer has made rapid progress under Gao Han's training. He has performed very well and has become a strong leg of Paris Saint-Germain.

Suarez also performed well, but the Uruguayan forward's performance was not as eye-catching as Neymar.

Gao Han won the French Ligue 1 Coach of the Year, and was also selected by many French and European media such as L'Equipe. It was basically no surprise that Gao Han won the Coach of the Year.

Gao Han has long been accustomed to this kind of situation.

At the end of every year, he must allocate part of his energy to deal with these things and win awards and be soft-hearted.

The more important one is undoubtedly UEFA's annual selection.

In the just-announced roster, Gao Han is one of the five nominees for Coach of the Year. The other four are Barcelona's Guardiola, Manchester United's Ferguson, Dortmund's Klopp and Chelsea's head coach Boa. Sri Lanka.

Mourinho only won one Copa del Rey last season and was not a candidate for UEFA's best coach.

Among the five candidates, Gao Han has the highest voice. Manchester City's triple crown is the most dazzling report card. Therefore, among the many awards of UEFA, the best coach of the year can be said to be the least suspenseful. .

In addition to being shortlisted for UEFA awards, Gao Han was once again shortlisted for FIFA's Best Coach of the Year selection.

There are no major events in 2011, and the Copa America's influence is limited. Therefore, Gao Han is very likely to win the best coach again. As for the competition for the Ballon d'Or, it is between Manchester City's Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona's Messi. The competition is also completely fierce. These two players have performed amazingly in the Premier League and La Liga respectively in the past year.

Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar, Didier Drogba, Suarez, Yaya Toure, Thiago Silva, David Luiz and Marcelo have also been selected for the 55-man roster. Everyone at Paris Saint-Germain was very excited.

As for whether you can win the award in the end, it no longer matters.

Being shortlisted is itself the strongest proof of a player's strength.
