Chapter 1041 Really enlightened!
"High cold!High cold!High cold!!!"
When Gao Han walked into the Sorilla Stadium in Valladolid, more than 20,000 fans in the audience called his name loudly.
In the past, due to his identity as the head coach of other teams, he rarely made public appearances in such a high-profile manner on the away team's home court. Even if the fans saw him by chance, most of them would say hello, but unlike now, they were sitting openly in the middle of the chairman's stands.
From this moment on, he truly played the role of the boss of Chinatown.
After following Gao Han, the general manager of Chinatown, Armando Marcos, and technical director Cantalero, were all veterans of Chinatown for many years and have made great contributions to the development of Chinatown in the past few years.
Armando Marcos is responsible for daily operations and business operations, making Chinatown a dazzling emerging signboard in the world football, while Cantalero is responsible for the competitive field, making Chinatown a dark horse that cannot be underestimated in European football.
After years of hardening, both of them have become the leading managers and technical directors in European football.
The fans at the scene also applauded them.
Since it was the first game of the new season and Gao Han's supervision, Valladolid was also very concerned about this. The club's senior management personally served as a supervisor. A group of people greeted politely in the stands, and soon they saw the players of the two teams step into the stadium.
Valladolid's head coach Juan Ignacio has just taken office this season. He used to coach Levante, starting high and closing low. His first season was very impressive, but he performed very mediocrely in the second season.
Judging from the transfer situation this summer, Valladolid obviously has no ambition. The season strategy should still focus on relegation. The net investment in the transfer market is only 250,000 euros, which is really hard to satisfy.
Because after the La Liga re-signed a broadcast contract this season, each club can get more money, which has significantly increased the overall investment in La Liga, but Valladolid's investment is indeed awkward.
Of course, this is their home court, and it is the first game of the new season. Chinatown cannot be careless at all.

"Have you heard that Zidane will play this game?"
Gao Han had just sat down, turned his head and asked Cantalero with concern.
The technical director shook his head, "I don't know, I just heard that I will play the Champions League qualifiers in the middle of the week, so there may be appropriate rotations and will not do my best."
This is basically in line with the opinions of the technical team.
Judging from the performance of the past two seasons, the lack of a reasonable and effective rotation mechanism has always made Chinatown unable to take into account both the Champions League and the League. However, as a team that has won the fourth place in La Liga for several consecutive years, Chinatown must learn to fight on multiple fronts, and rotation is the top priority.
What's more, the team is full of talents and not rotated, so it is difficult to balance the players' opportunities to play. If you don't get exercise, how can the young players grow up?
These are the difficult questions facing Zidane, and it depends on whether he can give the answer tonight.
Just as everyone was chatting, the lineup of the two sides came out.
Gao Han was obviously a little surprised when he got the list.
Goalkeeper De Gea, the defense line is Alberto Moreno, Devry, Godin and Montoya, the midfield drag is Kante, Veratti and De Bruyne are in the center, and the front court trident is Hazard, Morata and Griezmann.
Zidane actually rotated in multiple positions, hiding many players including Varane, Danilo and Isco. Although they are keeping their strength in the mid-week Champions League qualifiers, isn't this a little too strong?
You know, this is the first game of the new season.
After watching the lineup list, Cantalero and Armando Marcos also looked at Gao Han, and the three of them looked at each other.
"It seems that he is very confident." Gao Han smiled.
Cantalero nodded. If he had no confidence, Zidane would definitely not dare to play like this.
In the first round of the game, the new coach took office again, so he couldn't not want to win.
"I heard that Marklele had previously trained on Ilia La Mendi and Kante, and Zidane also gave small training to many players, such as Hazard and Griezmann, and specially trained Hesse's shots." Armando Marcos grinned.
Gao Han nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Marklele was the former top midfielder. During his time at Paris Saint-Germain, he saw him trained Rabiot in special training. Now he gave Ilia La Mendi and Kante a small meal, which is undoubtedly excellent.
As for Zidane, it is undoubtedly very appropriate to let him carve Hazard and others.
Now it depends on how much he can tap the potential of this team.

After the game started, Chinatown took advantage of the serve from the first minute to firmly control the ball.
De Bruyne was arranged in the middle of the midfield in this game, and partnered with Veratti. The two were responsible for sorting out the midfield and delivering shells to their teammates in the frontcourt. In addition, Hazard on the left of the frontcourt made Chinatown's ball possession advantage very obvious after the start of the game.
But Valladolid was playing at home and was unwilling to be taken advantage of by Chinatown at the beginning and took the initiative to exert pressure. In addition, it was the first game of the new season, and Chinatown obviously did not fully enter the state, which led to a stalemate after the opening and unable to start the situation.
"Take it slow, don't worry." Cantalero said nervously.
The more you are, the more calm and rational you need, and the more anxious you are, the more likely you make mistakes.
After hearing this, Gao Han looked at him, shook his head and laughed, "Look at how Zidane looks on the sidelines, you will know that he has been prepared for this and relaxed, and there will be no problem."
Sure enough, less than five minutes after Gao Han finished speaking, Chinatown began to threaten.
The main reason is that after twenty minutes of entering, Valladolid was unable to continue to stick to this kind of full-game pressing and oppression tactic, because they had to consider the physical energy consumption.
But Chinatown was obviously in power and pressed forward along the rhythm of Valladolid.
In the 28th minute, De Bruyne dunked the defender in the middle and passed it to the left side of the penalty area.
After Hazard took the ball on the left, he quickly dribbled the ball and kept approaching the defensive player, forcing the opponent to retreat again and again. Finally, he wanted to make a foot before retreating to the penalty area, but Hazard was prepared for it. He dribbled past the opponent's shot with one dribble, and then dribbled past the opponent's central defender, shot with his right foot, and the ball hit the lower right corner and hit it.
The entire goal process came very suddenly, but it was extremely exciting.
Hazard ran all the way after scoring the goal.
Gao Han also jumped up from his seat in the stands and cheered loudly.
This ball is really beautiful!
"It's obvious that Hazard is becoming more and more confident and more aggressive."
Gao Han was very happy to see Hazard's progress.
If this ball was in the past, Hazard would definitely dribble the ball and seek cooperation with his teammates, but this time he decisively chose to do it alone, passing two opponents in one breath, and scoring Chinatown's first goal this season. This can indeed be said to be a very gratifying change.
"Yes, this kid is really enlightened," said Cantalero.
Sometimes players are like this.
For Hazard, whether it is Gao Han, Pochettino, or Cantalero, he has told him many times that he wants him to play more aggressively and more selfishly, but it has never worked.
It was not until the game against Barcelona last season that he showed such signs.
But unexpectedly, he brought such a surprising change to the first game of the new season, which is indeed surprising.
It is not difficult to see from this that Zidane's training of him has also been effective.
At least Hazard entered the penalty area from the left just now, and the dazzling series of technical movements were really pleasing to the eye.

The first goal came suddenly, but no one expected that the second goal would come faster.
It was Hazard who dribbled the ball from the left and passed it to Veratti, who passed it straight behind him, and Griezmann inserted it and scored easily. At this time, it was only three minutes before the first goal.
With two goals in three minutes, Chinatown can be said to have laid a leading advantage in one fell swoop.
After scoring the goal, Chinatown played more relaxedly, especially in passing and controlling the ball, and was more calm.
Kanter's midfield and backcourt was also as always covered in a large range, interception and stealing, running all over the field, leaving an extremely deep impression. Moreover, his ability to take and take balls and shoot balls is good, ensuring the team's midfield and backcourt pass control is stable.
After the second half of the game, Chinatown launched another attack.
In just five minutes, De Bruyne got a chance in the middle. After getting rid of the defensive player and dribbled the ball, he suddenly shot a curve ball at the front of the penalty area. He played very suddenly. Goalkeeper Diego reacted quickly enough and flew to save the ball.
But the ball still landed in the penalty area. Morata, who was inserted in the back row, followed in time. Before the ball could land, he directly shot again and threw the ball into Valladolid's goal.
Three to zero!
After taking the lead, Zidane began to make substitution adjustments in the 60th minute.
First, he replaced Verati with Pogba, then replaced Hazard with Hesse, and finally replaced Griezmann with Cork.
And by this time, it was already the eighty minute.
In the end, Chinatown defeated Valladolid three-to-zero away with goals from Hazard, Griezmann and Morata.
Although he won the game, Chinatown still did not play smoothly throughout the game. However, considering that it was the first game of the new season and there was a large rotation, both the players and the team obviously have not entered the game yet. It is already very good to be able to get a good start.
After the game, Gao Han took Cantalero and Armando Marcos to the team's locker room and congratulated all the players in public, thanking them for their wonderful performance in this game.
After playing away at Chinatown, the first round of La Liga was basically over.
The best team is Barcelona.
Martino was a newcomer, but in the first round of the new season, he beat Levante 7-0 at home.
Messi and Pedro both made two passes, Fabregas assisted twice, Ibrahimovic, Xavi and Alves each scored one goal, and Barcelona performed quite eye-catching.
The ball possession rate of the entire game was as high as 76%, leading 6-0 in the first half alone. Levante only had just four shots in the whole game, and one shot was directed, which was simply desperate.
Not only Spanish football, but also European football has been shocked by Barcelona's strength.
Even the media in the Catalonian region exclaimed that the invincible and invincible Barcelona has finally returned!
