Chapter 1054 What should I do?
For Spaniards, going to bed early and getting up early is obviously the most unhealthy thing.
Staying up late and getting up late is their due attitude towards life.
The park is always empty every morning, and it is rare to see people who are in good luck.
Gao Han and Lin Xia are both exceptions. They get up early on time every day and go to the nearby park to run and exercise. This is a habit that has been accumulated over the years. Whenever they encounter rainy days, they feel uncomfortable.
With the rise of Chinatown in the southern suburbs of Madrid in the past few years, more and more Chinatown players have arranged their homes in Rafenca because it is the most luxurious place for wealthy people in Madrid. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid also live here, and core senior executives such as Gao Han and Zidane also live here.
Gradually, when Rafenka goes out, you often meet players from Chinatown, and neighbors are used to this.
But on the morning of the next day after playing Barcelona away, Gao Han met a person who shouldn't have appeared in the park in the morning.
Eden Hazard.
How could he be here?
Gao Han, who was panting, stopped strangely and signaled Lin Xia to continue running forward, but he walked towards the lakeside of the park.
Hazard seemed to have been standing here for a while, sitting on the big bluestone on the shore, staring blankly at the smooth lake water, without even noticed the approaching Gao Han.
It was not until Gao Han stood beside him that he suddenly woke up.
"Boss!" Hazard was shocked and quickly wanted to stand up.
Gao Han smiled and reached out and signaled him not to be nervous, just sit down.
Looking up close, the Belgian's eyes were a little red and he seemed to have little sleep. This also explains why he appeared here early in the morning. After all, it is still far from the team's training time.
"What's going on? Sitting here alone in a daze?" Gao Han asked with concern, and he also found a place and sat on it.
Hazard's face darkened, he shook his head, and when he looked at the lake, Meishan frowned, "I can't sleep."
"Why can't you sleep?" Gao Han asked with concern.
Gao Han knows how important a professional player's sleep is, so Chinatown specially hired a professional sleeper to help players regulate their sleep, hoping that the players can regain their energy and prepare for the game in the best condition.
The expression on Hazard's face was filled with shame and guilt. After shaking his head and saying the word "I", he couldn't speak again.
Looking at his eagerness to speak but stopping, Gao Han knew it in his heart.
Chinatown's situation in the past period was indeed quite unsatisfactory. First, the league lost consecutive points, from the original seven points leading to the three-pointer behind Atletico Madrid, the difference was tens of thousands, which caused the current embarrassing situation in Chinatown.
But if you look at this issue from a different perspective, you will be able to understand it.
Among the scores lost in succession, Valencia and Villarrel were both draws away. There is no need to say more about the strength of these two teams. Not to mention Chinatown, even the three traditional giants, they dare not say that they are confident enough to win the opponent away.
From this point of view, the draw in Chinatown is not unacceptable.
Among the two games that were lost, the bed sheet army lost to Atletico Madrid at home. The bed sheet army has always been the victim of Chinatown. It is indeed a pity and regret to lose this game, but it should be reasonable.
As for losing to Barcelona away, that's not a serious crime.
Overall, the scores lost by Chinatown are not a fault. Even if we really want to investigate, at most, it can only be said that the team's condition has not been adjusted well, but it is really good to play like this in a two-line battle.
The loss to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final is indeed the team's skills are not as good as others, and there is nothing to say.
So, looking at it all, Chinatown has become like this in recent times, and there is actually no need to hold too much accountable.
But unfortunately, after the team was seven points ahead, fans and media reporters' expectations for Chinatown also changed. They obviously no longer regard Chinatown as a team that maintains four-season leagues, but a strong team that is determined to win the championship and runs alongside the three giants of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
If expectations change, then the mentality of looking at this result will naturally be different.
When Gao Han thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
If you really want to blame Zidane for his previous achievements, he should blame him for his high expectations and too many unrealistic fantasies.
The team's performance was not ideal and was criticized by the media. As the team's number one star, Hazard naturally couldn't escape.
In the final of the Copa del Rey, he was closely guarded by Atletico Madrid right-back Juan Fran, and his performance was not very ideal, especially the last single shot at the critical moment. It was really psychologically unacceptable to fail to score.
As for playing Barcelona away, he was obviously affected by the King's Cup final and his performance was relatively sluggish.
It is estimated that the Belgians will not be able to sleep because they feel guilty in their hearts.
In Gao Han's opinion, this is both a good thing and a good thing.
The reason why it is said to be a good thing is that at least he still has such honor and disgrace in his heart, but it is not a good thing because he is too entangled in this and is not conducive to the next game. Hazard obviously has not yet fully learned how to adjust his mood.
Just like Cristiano Ronaldo, a big heart like this, basically will not be affected by the outside world at will.
But the Portuguese had a strong sense of honor and disgrace, which made him desperately want to win anyone, and instead became the driving force for his growth and progress, urging him to achieve what he is today.
In contrast, Gao Han always felt that Hazard's personality is too good and he is a bit too content with things. This is indeed very good if it is put in life, but it is obviously a pity to put it in a professional player with such high talent.
At this moment, Gao Han was a little surprised to see that he couldn't sleep because of the team's two losses, but he was also happy because he saw a trace of signs.
He decided to add another fire.
"I still remember what I told you that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
Hazard nodded slightly, of course he remembered.
The reason he felt guilty was because he knew he could have done better.
For example, he didn't expect that the single shot in the last moment of the Cup del Rey final did not score.
In the past two or three seasons, from Gao Han to Cantalero, to the two head coaches Pochettino and Zidane, they all expressed their hope that he can practice his shooting hard and improve his shooting skills, and he has indeed practiced more.
But he knew in his heart that he had not listened completely and had not worked hard.
But when he lost the King's Cup final and failed to score that single shot, he really regretted why he didn't follow the coaching staff's arrangements and practiced hard to shoot?
If I had practiced more before, maybe I would have scored this single shot, and the winner was Chinatown.
He really regretted that his intestines were blue.
Especially when he saw his teammate kneeling on the court and crying loudly, he felt even more guilty and ashamed.
This is true in the Copa del Rey final, and the same is true in the game against Barcelona.
Gao Han looked at Hazard's expression that was so regretful that he wanted to twist his head off. How could he not understand his mood at this moment?
Young people always have to experience it before they can grow. If the failure of this season is used to exchange for the growth of this group of young players in the team, Gao Han thinks it is worth it.
“Michels once said that football is a war.
"Every man has a strong war complex from childhood to adulthood, and is full of fantasy about the years of galloping on the battlefield and iron horses. Football is the game with the highest degree of restoration of war. It is known as a war without gunpowder. The football field is a battlefield for life and death. It is a game of brave people, and it is also a battle of intelligence, a perfect combination of body, spirit and technology."
"On the football field, you are never alone in fighting. A group of teammates who trust you, support you, and are willing to sacrifice for you. Every pass, every run, every defense is a force for you."
"On the football field, you always want to do something for the people around you, and you want to maximize yourself, especially when everyone trusts and supports you, and puts all your hopes on you, you hope to live up to them."
Gao Han's words seemed to be saying to himself, but also to Hazard. The Belgians' eyes turned redder.
He knew that Gao Han understood his mood and feelings at this moment.
He almost cried.
This is the first time in his career that he felt that he was so unfair.
Everyone bet their last hope on his single shot, but in the end, he didn't score!
What made him even more unforgivable was that he could have scored, as long as he worked harder and had higher requirements for himself, he could have scored when that single shot came.
But he didn't, he let everyone down, that feeling...
"Boss..." Hazard's voice choked, "...You said, what should I do?"
Gao Han looked at the young man who was only twenty-three years old in front of him deeply, feeling a little unbearable, but he had to do so.
Some players with excellent talent have matured too late. When they repent, they have missed the golden period of their careers. Gao Han doesn't want Hazard to be the next one.
He stretched out his hand and patted Hazard on the shoulder vigorously. Gao Han pointed to the lake water in front of him, "Look forward, don't look back."
"We have lost the final of the Cup of Kings, and we have lost the game in Camp Nou. Now, no matter how sad we want to be, it is useless. We should look forward, cherish the remaining opportunities and work hard to play every game. Do you understand?"
Hazard frowned. After listening to Gao Han's words, he looked at the lake deeply, and nodded heavily after a long time.
"Go back and have a rest." Gao Han comforted.
Hazard kept silent, just nodded and agreed, and got up and left.
Looking at his back, Gao Han felt very mixed feelings.
Chinatown has been able to play to this level this season, and it is indeed close to its limit. Every player has performed very well and has tried his best.
This season is very valuable for the team's training, and the improvement of every player is visible to the naked eye. Therefore, no matter what the final result is, Gao Han can accept it. Even if it is as the media said, he doesn't care if he is empty-handed.
Because at least, he has gained players including Hazard, Isco and others.
He firmly believes that after this season, the players on the team will become more mature.
When Chinatown makes a comeback next season, it will be more terrifying and more combat-effective than it is now.
