"Van der Sar?"

At Liverpool's Melwood training base, Hollier saw the news that Chelsea introduced Van der Sar from Fulham, frowned deeply, as if he was puzzled by this transfer.

"How could it be him?"

"We are all very strange about this, too." Phil Thompson said with a wry smile.

The goalkeeper coach also said: "Van der Sar's performance at Fulham is very unstable. He is very good at highlights, but is bad at slump. Overall, among the many goalkeepers in the Premier League, he can only be considered ordinary."

There are also many good goalkeepers in the Premier League today, including Jasqueline, Given, Butters, Dudek, Friedel... all are pretty good goalkeepers. Judging from Van der Sar's performance in two seasons in the Premier League, it is very good to be able to rank in the middle.

"As a goalkeeper, Van der Sar has many advantages, but his shortcomings are also fatal. He often shows off his footwork in the game, often bringing disaster to the team. He made a very fatal mistake last season."

The words of the goalkeeper coach immediately reminded everyone present and evoked their memories.

"I forgot which game it was. It seemed that when I received the return pass, I encountered a press conference and did not clear the ball at the first time. Instead, I wanted to pass the opponent and pass it again. As a result, the man passed it, but the ball did not pass it out, and after being intercepted, he hit an empty goal." Phil Thompson smiled.

"Yes, yes, Fulham only lost one goal in that game, which was Van der Sar's voluntary sending, and they fell into the relegation zone because of this, so Van der Sar was criticized overwhelmingly."

Someone next to him immediately remembered, "That fight against Bolton!"

"Yes, it's just a fight against Bolton."

Everyone straightened it out immediately.

At least, judging from his performance at Juventus and Fulham, Van der Sar is not strong, and it can even be said to be relatively bad, but why did Chelsea want to introduce him?

"What is Gao Han like about him?" Hollier asked with a frown.

Phil Thompson thought for a while and nodded, "Maybe it's because he saw the advantage of Van der Sar's larger range of movement."

"That's right." The goalkeeper coach also agreed, "As Phil mentioned in the report before, when Chelsea's defense is pressing in front of the defense, the gap between the goalkeeper and the defense is too large. This is not simply to ask Kudicini to expand the scope of the movement, because the Italian goalkeeper itself is not of this type."

"Van der Sar is indeed very unstable, but at least the range of activities is large, so it should be more suitable for Chelsea's tactics. But I still think that Gao Han is just in a hurry to take power and has no better choice, so he hurriedly chose him. This is just a transition. Moreover, Van der Sar is a new arrival, and I'm afraid he still has to have time to integrate into Chelsea."

The goalkeeper coach's analysis was reasonable and was affirmed by Hollier.

"If you say so, Chelsea's problem still exists, so we will continue to adopt the previous strategy."

Hollier made a quick decision, and no one else had any objections.

…………

At the Harrington training ground in London, Chelsea did not even arrange a franchise ceremony for Van der Sar. They just made a quick announcement on the official website and sent a notice to the newspaper that the Dutch goalkeeper participated in the team's training as soon as possible.

Gao Han is also fighting for all the time to help the Dutch integrate into the team.

But as everyone expected, the new Dutchman has not yet established enough cooperation with the team.

In order to better establish their tacit understanding, Gao Han arranged the main defense line in the same group as Van der Sar during the drill, and asked Ibrahimovic and Etoo to join the group to increase the pressing efforts against the back line and goalkeepers.

The effect is a little bit, but it is still not enough.

This made Gao Han shout in the Harrington training ground.

Sometimes he shouted for left-back Bridgedo to retreat, sometimes he shouted for center back not to press too much, and sometimes he asked Ferreira to get as close to the goalkeeper as possible to catch the ball...

The league is about to start, and the first round is to be the most terrifying devil home court in the Premier League, Anfield, and everyone is under pressure.

"It's still not enough time." Cantalero sighed.

If Van der Sar had joined the team since the training camp, the situation would have been better than it is now.

But after joining in a hurry, he went north after two days of training, and challenging Liverpool away, it must be difficult for people to do so.

"It's okay, the competition is the best training ground." Gao Han was very open-minded and confident.

"There are a lot of noise outside now. Many fans, under the advocacy of the media, think that there are problems with the deals of Van der Sar, Marklele, and even Bellon." Cantalero sighed again.

Conspiracy theories are always easier to spread and more convincing than the truth in this world.

Gao Han was in charge of Chelsea's transfer operations this summer, but without the assistance of his agent Jorge Mendes, Gao Han would not have done so many things alone.

As the core coaching staff of the team, Cantalero knows Gao Han very well and clearly knows that this is caused by the chaos in Chelsea's management and is not what Gao Han wants.

But in the eyes of the media and some fans who are afraid of chaos in the world, this is a sign that Gao Han has monopolized power. They even believe that Gao Han has allowed his agents to participate in these transfer operations in order to make a profit.

Gao Han is really so shattering his crotch today, no, right?

Fortunately, the management did a good job this time. Chairman Bruce Barker personally clarified that every transfer operation of the club was left to the board of directors for review and approval, and the management fully believed that Gao Han was coaching in the team.

The boss behind the scenes, Abramovich, also accepted an interview with the media, clarifying rumors about Gao Han using transfers to make profits, and saying that he would not give up his trust in Gao Han because of this.

But Gao Han was right, there was no way to worry about the crime he wanted to accuse him.

The clarifications from senior executives not only did not resolve the misunderstanding, but instead increased the topic of hype between media and fans.

It's very simple. They think this is a helpless move that the club's top leaders have to do, and even think that they have been kidnapped by Gao Han.

The situation outside was overwhelming, and almost all the pressure was concentrated on Gao Han.

But now, the team has problems again.

It is completely conceivable that if Gao Han loses away against Anfield this week, the situation will be even more difficult.

The team that was formed after spending 200 million euros could not beat Liverpool?

"What they want is a topic of hype, let them go." Gao Han was quite excited.

Cantalero also felt that this was the only way, and the more he described it, the darker heavier he was. "But they wouldn't let you go so easily after waiting for the pre-match press conference. You should still be prepared early."

As usual, Gao Han will hold a pre-match press conference in Harrington and announce the team's 18-man roster. This will be the best time for all media reporters to publicly make things difficult for Gao Han. It is completely imagined that they will attack in groups.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fuel-efficient lamp either." Gao Han smiled.

From Atletico Madrid to now, three years have passed. He is indeed no longer the boy who would be nervous when he saw media reporters. Now he has the halo of the Champions League champion and the La Liga trio. If media reporters are too much, he will dare to fight back in person.

As Ferguson once said, British media reporters are a group of hungry mad dogs. If you are afraid, they will rush up and tear you to pieces, but if you resist and beat them up, they will no longer dare to provoke you.

At that time, just throw a piece of flesh and bone at them every once in a while, and they will come up happily, lick your toes, and wag your tail flatteringly at you.

But that's it, Cantalero still feels very worried.

He was born with such a life of worrying about labor!

…………

…………

In short, this is the first time Gao Han has faced the media close.

The last time was at Ronaldinho's joining ceremony, but he was standing in the Stamford Bridge Stadium, facing the media and fans from afar, but this time it was different, he was attending a pre-match press conference.

According to news from the press officer, nearly a hundred media outlets will attend the press conference, which is the largest pre-match press conference in Chelsea's history, unprecedented.

Gao Han also attached great importance to his first appearance in the Premier League, so he specially bought himself a brand new suit and uniform in the coaching system, with the effect of [power].

If the two uniforms I bought before were team-like, then the new uniforms now only serve Gao Han, making him look more stable and more aura, and the effect is also to comprehensively enhance his power.

I still remember Zhang Quan once said: wide stripes, pocket towels, and three-piece sets. These are the detailed elements that show their identity and influence in a suit, which are not something that ordinary people can control.

If Gao Han always adopted a low-key strategy when he was at Atletico Madrid, then now he feels that he must stand up.

Now not only the UK and Europe, but also the fans around the world are staring at him, but everyone in the team is also watching him. If he doesn't stand up at this time, his prestige in the team will plummet.

As a head coach, if he can't protect his players, how can he ask the players to obey?

So this time, Gao Han chose a dark gray suit uniform with wide stripes, which was still a white shirt inside, but he put on a tie to make himself look calmer.

And when he tidied up his suit, walked out of the room, and returned to the office, the coaching staff, the team leader and the press officer were already waiting for him.

When everyone present saw Gao Han’s dress, they all lit up, and even a hint of awe flashed in their eyes. This effect made Gao Han feel very satisfied.

"The reporters have all arrived at the scene. This is the general process and the details that need to be paid attention to during the questioning process. Look." The press officer came up and politely handed over a document.

Gao Han did not hold a press conference when he joined, so Chelsea attached great importance to his debut in the British media, but what's so bad is that there are a lot of remarks that are not conducive to Gao Han.

It can be imagined that with the urinary nature of the British media, they will definitely bite Gao Han.

Gao Han looked around and frowned slightly, but it immediately spread out, handed over the documents to the press officer, nodded, and said confidently: "It's okay, don't worry about these things, just ask them."

The press officer was stunned.

Ask casually?

What if this is speechless by media reporters?
