On the afternoon of January 3, Vicarage Road Stadium in Watford, northwest London.

Chelsea's first game of the year was the knockout match in the third round of the FA Cup, with its opponent being Watford, ranked 19th in the League One. It played away, and the game had been played for 60 minutes, and the score was zero to two.

International practice: the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.

Both Chelsea's goals occurred in the first half. Just seven minutes into the game, Van Persie scored the first record for the Blues. After Good Johnson won another goal, Chelsea looked like they were sure to win.

The opponent was not strong in this game, and Gao Han was interested in training, so he arranged all substitutes and young lineups to play.

Messi once again appeared at the starting right winger, Fabregas played midfielder, Pique played central defender, and Van Persie, Glen Johnson, Robert Hutter and other players, Chelsea went to Watford with most of the youth lineup.

But what satisfied Gao Han was that Chelsea performed quite well throughout the game.

The three midfielders composed of Lampard, Fabregas and Parker helped the team firmly control the advantage of the scene, without giving Watford a chance, and also continuously delivering shells to the frontcourt. The Blues looked unstoppable.

But despite this, the performance of some Chelsea players is still not satisfactory.

Messi is still very sharp on the right, dribbling and breaking through very well, but his passing awareness and timing need to be strengthened. After all, he is only sixteen years old and lacks experience in the game, so he needs to continue to improve.

Moreover, as the game deepened, Messi's love of dribbling was noticed by his opponents, and he began to increase his guard against him, and even his movements gradually increased. After all, he fell behind two goals, and the home team players were also angry.

On the contrary, central defender Pique is under little pressure to press and can easily show off his passing and ball control characteristics. At the same time, he is also doing well in defense. He looks very steady and has a strong general style at a young age.

Fabregas is the worst performer among the three, because he was closely guarded by the opponent, and the opponent was against a player named Paul Wernaza, 24 years old, with a physical fitness in front of the sixteen-year-old Fabregas.

Moreover, this Watford midfielder is also the most active and has the biggest movements in the team.

This left Fabregas suffering the whole game.

But Gao Han was on the sidelines and looked in a good mood. He pointed at Wernaza and asked strangely: "He is really from Arsenal's youth training? Will Wenger fall in love with such a player?"

Judging from the game, Wernaza's feet skills are quite average. Although he can occasionally show one or two feet, he doesn't look like the type that Wenger admires. Moreover, he plays football very dirty and has many small moves.

"I was indeed from Arsenal youth training, and it was selected by Wenger after coaching Arsenal."

Standing beside Gao Han, Cantalero gave a very affirmative answer.

"However, he has only played five times for Arsenal and scored one goal, but he was an important member of England's World Youth Championship in 1999. He was loaned to Ipswich and Portsmouth. In January 2001, he transferred from Arsenal to Watford at a price of 350,000 pounds, and became the main force directly."

Gao Han understood a little. This is indeed a typical English youth training student, and his feet are relatively rough.

"I have been in the low-level league for many years and have not improved much in my skills. Instead, I have learned a lot of problems in the low-level league."

After hearing this, Cantalero sighed: "Who said no? And in this game, he was probably determined to prove his strength to everyone, so he performed very hard, even a little too much."

Emery replied angrily, "What's the ability to bully a child with the big one? "

It seems that he is very upset about his compatriot Fabregas.

Gao Han and Cantalero looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Fabregas suffered a great loss in this match.

"Swap him down." Emery suggested while it was hot.

He also knew that Gao Han was focusing on cultivating Fabregas, Messi and Pique, as well as Van Persie, Robben and Joe Cole, and even Parker was valued by Gao Han.

These technical players cater to Gao Han’s taste and are in line with his philosophy.

So, for Fabregas, there is really nothing to be tested, what is needed is cultivation.

"Switch him down?" Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "I'm going to let him play the whole game."

"What?" Emery was a little surprised.

Let a sixteen-year-old boy fight against a savage and strong man of twenty-four, and still play the whole game?

It’s another story about whether the performance is good or not. What if you get injured?

How many young players are so talented that they just fall on injuries.

“For Seske, there are not many opportunities for exercise like this.”

Emery obviously didn't understand, "Why?"

Gao Han looked at his assistant and smiled slightly, "He is so smooth that he is smooth, both in the family environment and personal growth, which makes him look calm and calm, with a mature look that is not consistent with his peers, but in fact he is weak in nature and lacks the courage to stand alone."

Gao Han explained this, Emery immediately understood Gao Han’s intention.

Anyone who can become a professional player basically has very solid basic skills, such as Marseille whirlpooling and oxtail extraordinary, for professional players, they are all easy to use, which is unmatched by amateur players.

Because each of them has undergone more than ten years of basic training.

So, what really determines a player's strength is the strength they show on the court.

In other words, how much can a player perform when facing a tight defense.

In this case, the mind and nature are particularly important.

It can even be said that the more top players are, the more tenacious they are.

Among the three players Gao Han brought out from Barcelona, ​​Pique was a little soft, but he was young and vigorous, with a momentum of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger, so he was fearless on the court, and his performance was also very open and up and down.

Messi was influenced by his growth experience. He was the shortest among the three and the thinnest, but his heart was the strongest and bravest among the three. So on the court, he dared to take the ball again and again to attack the opponent's defense line head-on.

Many times he was even tackled and knocked down, and he would get up and continue to get the ball and continue to rush.

This reminds Emery of Atletico Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Gao Han said at the beginning that this Portuguese kid had an unlimited future. He even defended him when the outside world criticized and accused the Portuguese of sticking to the ball, and even allowed him to act on the court.

Facts have proved that Gao Han's craftsmanship of Cristiano Ronaldo was very successful, and the Portuguese's performance at Atletico Madrid has also steadily improved, which is quite outstanding.

Now it seems that Gao Han is also consciously cultivating Messi, Fabregas and Pique.

For Fabregas, who is relatively weak in nature, he adopts this method of teaching according to his aptitude and different from person to person by using the enemy to hone his nature.

This also forced Emery to admire Gao Han in his heart.

"Carlos, who is the player who looks like an African American over there?" Gao Han suddenly pointed at the stadium.

That was a right-side player who was replaced by Watford in the second half. He was dark-skinned and very fast, and he looked better than other teammates when he dribbled the ball.

Cantalero thought for a while, "It seems that his name is Ashley Young, who is eighteen years old and has only been promoted to the first team recently."

Gao Han said oh and stopped talking, but he had already paid attention to the player secretly.

The potential is as high as 175 and the speed is very fast. Such players are rare in England.

However, for Gao Han now, this player's attractiveness is still a little weaker.

Because his team includes Messi, Fabregas and Pique, who are in the future top-level teams.

He is very confident that as long as he has been carved for two more years, these three players will definitely become great players in the future, especially Messi, who will definitely become the best superstar in the world, not inferior to Ronaldinho at all.

The same is true for Fabregas.

Thinking of this, Gao Han took advantage of the opportunity to die on the court and quickly walked to the sidelines.

"Cesque, Leo, come here."

After hearing the shouts, the two young players immediately ran to the sidelines.

"Leo, don't always go to the side when you get the ball, cut more to the inside, just like Ronaldinho is on the left, bring the ball when you get the ball, cut in, pass the ball when you have the chance, or shoot yourself."

Messi nodded immediately.

He was very worried that the head coach would replace him, and it turned out that he wanted to remind him to adjust his responsibilities on the field.

"And you, Seske, be brave and take the ball more proactively."

Seeing Fabregas's eyes flashing, Gao Han understood the embarrassment in his heart, patted his shoulder hard, and encouraged: "Don't worry, don't put pressure on yourself. If the ball is lost, it will be lost. We can grab it back soon. You have to have confidence in me, do you understand?"

Fabregas looked at Gao Han, then looked at his friend Messi, and finally looked back at Gao Han, nodding heavily, "I understand."

"That number four is quite clingy. If he forces you again, you will pass him. I don't think you dare to ride the ball."

When Fabregas heard this, he looked up at the head coach, "But... Boss, I'm the midfielder."

"What's wrong with the midfield?" Gao Han asked with a smile, "I asked you to play in the midfield, but I didn't let you be alone. If you are sure, you can pass it and lose the ball and grab it back. If something goes wrong, I will hold on, what are I afraid of?"

Gao Han said this, and brought both young players closer together.

"I told you that I asked you to learn from other players to learn their strengths, but I never said that you should give up the advantages you are good at. It took you more than ten years to learn. What a pity it would be to lose, right?"

Messi and Fabregas both laughed and agreed with the coach's words.

They are all sixteen years old and are still in the ignorant and immature stage. Who doesn’t want to become the most shining star on the court?

"You must remember that no outstanding star has achieved success by learning from others. Everyone on the football field is unique. You must learn from others, but you must be yourself, do you understand?"

"I understand." The two young players answered in unison.

"Go!"

Gao Han patted their shoulders and sent them back to the stadium, while also entering the coaching system.

A five-star assault card is applied to Messi, and a five-star defensive card is added to central defender Pique.

But in the end, he used a five-star confrontation card for Fabregas.

Gao Han was very satisfied with this Spanish teenager, skill, awareness, passing, etc.

But he felt that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the professional league, he had to strengthen his use of his body first.

By the way, he tortured the savage Wernaza to death!

At this moment, Gao Han's smirk expression was simply too scary in the eyes of Cantalero, Emery and others.
Chapter completed!
