Chapter 297 Winner

"Yes, there is no doubt that the game is very difficult, but I'm glad we won in the end."

At the post-match press conference, when a reporter asked Gao Han about this difficult game, the head coach of Atletico Madrid replied with a smile that anyone could easily see the three words he wrote on his forehead.

winner!

On the other hand, Ancelotti, who was sitting next to him, seemed a little lonely and unwilling.

"Long time before the game, we knew AC Milan was a very good team. We met in the League Cup final last season, but AC Milan is stronger this season, they have more superstars, and their style of play is not good for us."

"But our players ended up with the pressure, tried their best in the game, and saved a victory at Calderon."

For Gao Han's words, the reporters on the scene reported a burst of warm applause.

"Mr. Gao Han, I believe everyone present is very curious. You have no way to deal with AC Milan in the first seventy minutes, but you have completely gained the advantage on the field in the next twenty minutes. Your on-site command plays a key role. Can you tell us all, is there any secret?"

All the reporters at the scene immediately responded, which was indeed a topic worth paying attention to.

Gao Han's on-site command has always been circulated by the outside world, and many fans even made it a hit every time, and the example is true. However, as media practitioners, they certainly would not follow so blindly, but wanted to inquire about the secrets.

Gao Han smiled slightly again, "There is no secret, really."

Feeling that the media reporters on the scene were not satisfied, Gao Han smiled again, "If you insist on saying there is any secret, it is that I have a group of very outstanding players who can complete the team's arrangements meticulously on the court."

"In addition, I have a group of very good colleagues who have been helping me analyze the game, discuss and formulate strategies to deal with various emergencies throughout the game."

"In the first seventy minutes, we encountered problems in the offense. We tried it, but all of them had little effect. We summarized it and thought we should not compete with AC Milan in the midfield, because AC Milan's possession was also very good, so we decided to change our strategy and pass the midfield quickly."

All the reporters present nodded repeatedly when they heard this, and even Ancelotti, who was sitting next to Gao Han, couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

"So, in the last twenty minutes, we put the two full-backs in a higher position, actively exert the threat from the wing, accelerate the midfield's advancement, and strive to create a threat before the opponent's defense takes shape."

“It turns out that our decision was wise and completely changed the game.”

There was another burst of warm applause from the scene.

If someone had doubts about Gao Han's on-site command before, then after hearing the above words, he should be able to resolve the doubts, and because there are no so-called divine and divine things that are rumored by the outside world.

Of course, this is just a theoretical explanation. It is probably not that easy to practice it on the football field, and it even requires some luck.

But no matter what, Atletico Madrid did it.

"Mr. Gao Han, how do you evaluate Kaka's performance in this game?" a reporter asked.

Gao Han smiled politely and nodded, "Everyone knows that I rarely call a player in public, but Kaka's performance tonight, especially in the last twenty minutes, is absolutely phenomenal, and he makes the game completely different."

"But what I want to say is that he is still young and has quite a lot of potential to tap, but there is no doubt that after tonight, he will become more confident and more capable."

There was another burst of warm applause at the scene.

Kaka, the Brazilian international, was not only elected as the best player in the game, but will also definitely appear on the front pages of major newspapers tomorrow morning. He is the number one hero of Atletico Madrid's defeat of AC Milan.

"Mr. Gao Han, as the coach who led the team to participate in the Champions League for the first time, Atletico Madrid returned to the Champions League after many years of separation. How do you evaluate Atletico Madrid's performance in the first two rounds of the Champions League group stage? According to the latest odds offered by the bookmaker, you are the favorites to qualify for this death group."

After the reporter asked this question, the audience burst into laughter.

Gao Han was helpless, but he replied: "I want to say that we played well. The two consecutive wins give us a great chance to advance from the group, but we shouldn't be satisfied with this."

"As I said before, we won't think too much about it. We will only care about the next game and then play one after another. The team's lineup is also very strong, enough to satisfy us on multiple different fronts, allowing me to match different squads according to different opponents."

"I hope and believe that we will have a satisfactory result!"

The reporters on the scene reported the applause again.

Although Gao Han did not make a clear statement, in fact, everyone present could deeply feel his confidence and calmness from his answers.

The two consecutive wins in the group were just the beginning, but they made a very good start for Atletico Madrid.

Even afterwards, Ancelotti said in an interview with the media that Atletico Madrid has indeed taken the initiative in qualifying in the group and has a certain advantage.

According to the group stages in the first two rounds, Atletico Madrid's two consecutive victories are very valuable, not only allowing the Bedding Legion to win the two strongest rivals in the group, but also jumped to the top of the group.

Although AC Milan lost to Calderon Stadium in this round, he defeated Lance in the first round and scored three points, ranking second in the group.

Bayern Munich was the worst. After losing to Atletico Madrid in the first round, he drew with Lons away from home in the second round, and conceded the ball not long after the opening. Then he had a difficult equalization in the 76th minute of the second half.

This also made everyone outside question the competitiveness of the Bundesliga class bullies.

At least, judging from the performance of these two rounds, Bayern Munich is not as good as last season, even last season.

The only comforting thing is that Bayern Munich is invincible in the Bundesliga.

Atletico Madrid's group stage schedule is bitter first and sweet. The first two rounds faced strong rivals from the giants, and the third and fourth rounds challenged Lons at home and away, which is relatively easy to play.

Although this Ligue 1 team is not without combat effectiveness, Atletico Madrid still has an advantage in overall strength.

Once Atletico Madrid can win Lons, four consecutive victories will defend the top spot in the group and get the right to qualify. Even if there is a mistake, as long as it is not fatal, the possibility of Atletico Madrid obtaining the right to qualify is still quite high.

It is also because of this that betting companies such as William Hill have greatly increased the odds of Atletico Madrid's group qualifying.

…………

The next day, Spain's largest sports newspaper, Marca, published its front page headline: an incredible reversal.

Javier Matayana pointed out in the article that Gao Han's on-site command once again played a miraculous role, and Kaka directed this great reversal with amazing performance.

Especially Kaka's first goal, Matayana praised Maradona's goal.

Marca even published an interview with Atletico Madrid technical director Paul Fotterrey.

"We are happy to bring exciting games to the fans, we play our own characteristics, and Kaka also scored an incredible goal. He is a phenomenal player."

Coincidentally, Ass also highly praised Kaka's performance, believing that the first goal he scored was definitely qualified to be selected for the best goal this season's Champions League and even Europe.

"This goal completely destroyed AC Milan's defense line, and they were like they were being beaten by this ridiculous goal!"

Compared with the Spanish media's common celebration, the Italian media generally believes that AC Milan lost to luck in this game.

"The Reds and Blacks lost a game that shouldn't have been lost, and Atletico Madrid won a game that shouldn't have been won."

This is a front page report by Milan Sports.

Commentary believes that Atletico Madrid's performance is excellent, but such a reversal depends more on luck.

"It's hard for me to imagine whether he can score that goal with Kaka again with the same chance."

The Milan Sports Daily almost represents the voice of the Italian media.

During the dispute between Serie A and La Liga, the media from both countries have stood firm.

Relatively speaking, the German media was more depressed and pointed the artillery fire at Heathfield.

Bayern Munich's performance in the Champions League this season is completely incompatible with his ambitious image before the season. Especially if he can't beat Lens, he is even more disgraceful, which directly makes the team's group promotion extremely dangerous.

"In the next third round, hosting AC Milan at home will be the key!" club chairman Beckenbauer reminded.

Many media reporters have smelled the meaning of warning from Beckenbauer's words.

If he loses again, the management will probably reconsider whether Heathfield is suitable to continue as the team's head coach.

But no one expected that a week later, it was still the Olympic Stadium, and Bayern Munich lost again.

This time, Da Inzaji, who has been in a very popular state, once again scored twice.

The goal machine of the Red and Blacks is so hot this season that it is unbelievable, with goals scored continuously and uncontrollable.

This defeat also made Bayern Munich's qualifying situation even more dangerous, and the media also criticized and criticized after the game.

At the same time, Gao Han, who just led the team to defeat Vilva in the fourth round of La Liga, defeated Lens, Torres, Yankulovsky and Kaka three-to-one at home.

In this way, Atletico Madrid, which has won three consecutive games in the group, continues to rank first in the group.

AC Milan scored six points with two wins and ranked second in the group.

Bayern Munich and Lens both draw and lose, with the same points, but Bayern Munich ranked third in the group with a goal difference.

This also shocked and puzzled fans around the world.

Before the season, Bayern Munich, a favorite team in the Champions League, actually played so hard in the group stage.

Although he was ranked in the Death Group, he only got one point in the three rounds of group stages, and this report card was not considered a passing grade no matter how you look at it.

The situation of qualifying in the group is already in danger, and people from all over Bayern Munich are also in panic.

Ancelotti made adjustments in this game, and arranged for Rivaldo to replace Rui Costa to start. This adjustment helped the Ross and Blacks defeat Bayern Munich away, which was also considered a dilemma.
