Chapter 377
After finishing the morning training class, after having lunch in the restaurant in Harrington, the players returned to their dormitories to rest.
Because the club has begun to propose to build a brand new training base, the renovation of Harrington is not very strong, but Gao Han attaches great importance to players' rest. Although the training building has not been renovated, the beds and facilities in the players' dormitory have been replaced with only one purpose to make the players live comfortably.
Except for head coach Gao Han, all the coaching staff and players' dormitories are in one room, arranged by themselves.
Etoo's original roommate was Marklele. They knew each other when they were in Real Madrid, and they were both African-American players, one was Cameroon and the other was Congo, which happened to be neighbors.
But unexpectedly, after the first round of the league, the head coach intervened in the arrangement of the players' dormitory and directly transferred Etoo to the same dormitory as Ibrahimovic, and asked no one to change with them. This made the two who had disliked each other and could only stare in the dormitory at noon every day.
Fortunately, gradually, we both got used to each other's existence.
The two were clearly separated, and the well water did not interfere with the river, so they were not in good condition.
But in the past week, they have gradually become a little unable to sit still.
Since the seventh round of the league, after playing Aston Villa at home, head coach Gao Han was furious in the locker room and threatened to reconsider the main lineup, everyone felt threatened, and Ibrahimovic and Etoo were the first to bear the brunt.
As a result, a week later, in the eighth round of the league, he challenged Middlesbrough away. Gao Han directly arranged for Good Johnson and Robben to start. Ibrahimovic and Etoo did not even make the roster, and Van Persie was replaced.
If they still had a glimmer of hope at that time and felt that Gao Han wanted to keep his strength for the mid-week League Cup, then two days ago, when they were playing against Slovenia's Olympia at home, Gao Han once again excluded them from the roster.
What's even worse is that the team performed very well in the two games they missed.
2-0 wins against Middlesbrough, Good Johnson and Robben scored.
Three-to-zero victory over Olympia, Van Persie, Ronaldinho and Galas.
Not only did everyone in the team feel the head coach's intentions, but even media reporters and fans outside responded because Good Johnson was able to score goals and Van Persie performed well.
In everyone's opinion, isn't it natural for a player in the best form to play the starter?
But Ibrahimovic and Etoo became a little scared.
Because they clearly feel that the head coach's patience with them is gradually fading.
They had no doubt that Gao Han valued them, because before introducing them, Gao Han talked to them separately, which was why they dared to do that before, but now they had to re-estimate their situation.
Both of them were lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling with their eyes open, and there was silence in the room.
"Large, let's talk." Etoo finally broke the silence.
This is the first time he has taken the initiative to talk to Ibrahimovic since he moved into this locker room.
But the Swedish center didn't give him a good temper, "What's there to talk about?"
"Okay, keep going, don't regret it." Etoo was yelled and was angry.
Seeing that the two of them were going to meet each other in one or two words, the sentence "Whoever regrets who is the grandson" made Ibrahimovic swallow it back into his stomach.
He knew that once this sentence was spoken, the two of them would definitely have to do it again.
"What are you talking about?" The Swedish center also softened his tone.
After hearing this, Etoo got up from the bed and looked at Ibrahimovic, "We can't continue to fight like this anymore, we will only be cheaper."
Ibrahimovic also got up and stared at Etoo opposite him, "What do you want?"
"I believe that the boss must have our position in his heart. He is still evaluating us, but if he continues to do this, the main position will be snatched sooner or later. When the other person goes to jail, it will be difficult to get it back."
Etoo's words sounded a wake-up call in Ibrahimovic's heart. Of course, he also understood such a simple truth.
Judging from the current situation of Chelsea, the midfielder has a strong ability to create opportunities, and Good Johnson is not weak either. What's more, there is also a Van Persie who is also very optimistic about by Gao Han. If you really want to feed him, you can score more than a dozen goals in one season.
Even if the opponent's kicks smoother and smoother, it is entirely possible to score more goals.
By then they were really fine.
"Okay, agree." Ibrahimovic nodded.
After hearing this, Etoo immediately grinned, revealing his white teeth and smiling.
He was born in poor Africa and had a large group of people in his family waiting for him to make money to support his family. However, he came to Chelsea for only two purposes, one was to become famous and the other was to make money.
It is obvious that continuing to fight against Ibrahimovic is not in line with his purpose.
Although the situation at the Swedish center is much better than Etoo, it is equally wise.
"Then let's discuss it. Whether it's the court or the training ground, the passes that should be passed, and when it is time to cooperate, how to do it, whether it can score goals, and how many goals can be scored, everyone depends on their ability."
As soon as Etoo finished speaking, Ibrahimovic nodded and applauded.
"Don't worry, as long as you can do it, I will definitely do it. I agreed to rely on my skills and don't refuse to admit it if I lose."
After hearing this, Etoo sneered, "Just your footing method? Did you shoot the elephant's butt ten meters away? Not to mention that it was taught by Van Basten, the person who threw him away!"
"How are you so fucking? You are as thin as a monkey. You were hit and killed on the court every minute. You have been playing in La Liga for so many years. You are just like yours, so don't expect to do well in La Liga." Ibrahimovic retorted.
"Hmph, Manniu is fighting with others. I am a smart person. I am not like you, just like a circus. Is it meaningful to do those fancy moves all day long?"
Ibrahimovic was also angry and wanted to fight back again, but suddenly he woke up again. Isn’t he going to fight again?
"Okay, it's my own business for me to be fancy and fancy. Don't care. In short, as long as you do your own thing and do your duty, I will let you know who is the number one scorer in the team."
Etoo was excited, "So too, don't hold me back."
The two of them were like two bulls who had been furious, slamming each other with their eyes on their beds.
After a long time, they finally calmed down again and had to start thinking about another thing.
How to get back your main position?
Judging from the past period of time, Good Johnson's performance is indeed good and his goal efficiency is OK.
"The next round of Arsenal is a tough battle..."
When Etoo said this, the two looked at each other and saw the desire in each other's eyes.
The showdown between the top and second place in the Premier League, the contest between the upstarts and traditional giants, is definitely one of the most eye-catching games in the Premier League this season. Who doesn’t want to play?
"Apologize!"
"Apologize!"
The two shouted in unison.
…………
…………
"What were they looking for you just now?"
Ibrahimovic and Etoo just left, and all the gossips from the coaching team such as Cantalero came to hear the news.
In the past period of time, they have followed Gao Han's arrangements and focused on staring at these two thorns. As today, the two of them came to Gao Han's office at the same time, which was the first time that they had been in Gao Han's office at the same time.
"Apology." Gao Han replied lightly, as if all this was long before he expected it.
But everyone lost their voices, "Apology?"
"How is this possible?"
"Apology so soon?"
Everyone was surprised because these two guys have strange personalities and can be called a pair of live treasures.
But unexpectedly, Gao Han really surrendered them, it was not easy.
"This is normal. They came to Chelsea, but they didn't want to sit on the bench. The initiative is in my hands. Apology is just a matter of time." Gao Han seemed very clear about his feelings.
This is also the reason why he had to take control of the first team when he chose the team.
Without power, players can't listen to you.
"Then are you going to forgive them like that?" Cantalero asked.
Gao Han shook his head, "It's not that simple. I just told them that I will think seriously and ask them to apologize in public in the locker room. Whether they forgive them depends on their training and competition performance."
Cantalero knows Gao Han best, and he can hear the external sound when he hears it.
"Want to play Arsenal, do you want them to start?"
Gao Han nodded, "Although Arsenal has suffered a crushing defeat in the Champions League group stage this season, it has remained unbeaten in the Premier League so far. There are two of them who are most afraid of, one is striker Henry and the other is their double midfielder."
Needless to say, Henry's importance is, his goals and assists are definitely Arsenal's most important nuclear weapon.
It can even be said that there are Henry, who are two completely different Arsenals.
But if Henry is an offensive, then Vieira and Gilberto Silva, who are both midfielders, are defending.
In fact, Arsenal's defense line this season is not as outstanding as expected, and Campbell and Toure's partnership problems are also many, at least it was exposed to the fullest in the Champions League.
Left-back Ashley Cole is indeed strong, but Lauren on the right is not that stable.
The important reason why Arsenal has a strong impression this season is that they have both back and Henry.
"If I were to say that the biggest change that Wenger brought to Arsenal was that it brought mainstream defensive counterattacks in mainland Europe, especially the use of counterattack strikers like Henry, which is almost textbook-level. The same is true for Hallier's Liverpool's use of Irving," he said.
"So, basically as long as you can stare at Henry, Arsenal's offensive threat will be reduced by half."
Sergio Garcia agrees with Gao Han's words very much, "This season, the two games tied this season, played Portsmouth at home and Manchester United away, basically the same."
"So, in this game, we have to play with the ball and keep patience."
Gao Han waited until his assistants digested his words before continuing to say it.
"On the defensive end, we need to set up a cage and lock Henry in, one-on-one, we can't defend him at all. On the offensive end, we need to pass and control patiently, pull the opponent's formation, and effectively avoid the double midfielder of Vieira and Gilberto Silva, which requires us to have a strong ball-taking point in the frontcourt."
"Do these two things well and we can strangle Arsenal to death!" Gao Han said confidently.
Chapter completed!
