Chapter 407

"Everyone can rest assured that everything outside is just a rumor. I don't take it to heart, and I hope you don't get affected by it and get distracted."

Before the first training class in the morning, Gao Han specially communicated with the players.

As early as when he came to Harrington, he told his assistants about these things in the coach's office.

Whether it is an assistant, a player, or even himself, the most important thing now is to concentrate all your energy, concentrate on playing the league well, and continue to advance in the cup, especially the League Cup.

The Premier League has played twenty-nine rounds, and Chelsea is still ahead of the pack, winning the championship early in the last two rounds. Overall, it is already a sure win. The only suspense is whether Etoo's goal can surpass Henry.

And the next 30th round will be very critical.

Chelsea's opponent is Wolves, and they are not strong and the Blues are fighting at home. Gao Han is very confident.

But Arsenal ushered in Manchester United at home. This strong dialogue will be a big test for the Gunners, because only by winning it can Arsenal continue to maintain pressure on Chelsea.

Since the league has been played, everyone knows that it is basically impossible to reverse Chelsea, but Arsenal must do this.

This has nothing to do with the score, but a sense of excitement.

The hard battle to the last second is like giving up halfway. Although the final result is all the loss, the meaning is completely different, and the impact on the team, players, and fans is also completely different.

Moreover, if Arsenal cannot beat Manchester United at home before the FA Cup semi-finals in this round, it may have a big impact on their FA Cup matches.

So, it depends on Arsenal's performance now.

As for the FA Cup, the opponent in the semi-finals has been confirmed. It is Mirwall, and she is not strong enough. Chelsea can basically make it to advance to the finals early. I just don’t know if the opponent will be Manchester United or Arsenal?

The real headache is the League Cup. The draw of lottery in the quarterfinals was not good, and he won the strongest Inter Milan among many teams. This is also known as a pre-match final, and both sides are popular to win the championship.

Chelsea is heading away and then home, and the schedule is relatively favorable.

In the next two weeks, every game will be crucial, but before the key schedule, the media exposed such a news, so Gao Han had to clarify with the players to stabilize the morale of the army.

"In the next two weeks, every game will be crucial to us. I ask each of you to concentrate all your energy and play every game as the final. I only have one goal..."

Everyone held their breath and stared at their head coach.

"Victory! Victory!! Or Victory!!!"

The players immediately cheered loudly and applauded vigorously.

Gao Han was also quite satisfied with their reactions. He waved his hand and signaled that they all started training.

…………

…………

Since Atletico Madrid, Gao Han's training has always been known for its transmission and control and high intensity.

With ninety minutes, the training program is very compact, and even the players' rest time is accurate to seconds, which makes every player have to give his all and give his all in training.

Many media reporters also think that precisely because the training intensity is very high, players trained by Gaohan are often able to perform better on the field, because their training itself is very close to actual combat.

After a training session, the players were exhausted, and they all drooped their heads, dragged their heavy steps into the locker room.

Gao Han returned to his office to prepare some materials, and planned to hold a meeting with the coaching team at noon to study targeted training when playing against the Wolves in the afternoon.

The intensive one-week double matches have a great impact on the team. The most obvious thing is that there is not enough time to study the opponent and practice targeted tactics to restrain the opponent. This is the most troublesome thing.

Therefore, the coaching staff attaches great importance to this.

That is, when Gao Han was preparing, the cell phone on the desk suddenly rang.

When I saw the caller ID, it was Abramovich.

Gao Han was stunned for a moment, but he still caught him and answered the phone, "Hello, Roman."

"Hello, Gao Han." Abramovich's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"I'm sorry, but I have to explain that it was purely coincidental that I met Jose Vega, we had a common friend, so out of courtesy, I invited him to stay for a meal, but we didn't get into it."

"Yeah." Gao Han nodded, "I can understand."

"real?"

"Of course." Gao Han smiled slightly.

Abramovich was silent for two seconds, "Thank you."

"No need." Gao Han replied, "Roman, I have always wanted to say that the team is in a critical final battle period now. I have to deal with different games every day, and I really can't get out of here, so I hope the management can leave the summer transfer to others so that I can concentrate on dealing with the next game."

On the phone, Abramovich was silent for a few more seconds, "Gao Han, I don't understand what you mean."

"I took over the transfer, but the management was still integrating, so I overstepped my authority. But now the technical department has been integrated, and I believe they can also be competent, so I plan to focus on the competition."

"but……"

"Roman." Gao Han didn't let him continue, "Just treat it as helping me relieve stress. You know, I'm almost exhausted during this period, and although others followed me, I won't let go."

After a few more seconds of hesitation, Abramovich finally sighed.

"Okay, since you insist, I'll talk to Bruce."

"Okay, thank you." Gao Han replied with a smile.

"I won't say anything anymore, I'm going to have a meeting with the coaching staff, thank you."

…………

…………

In the living room of the street-fronted townhouse in London's Eton Square, Abramovich stared at the phone that had hung up in front of him.

He felt puzzled because Gao Han actually gave up the transfer power.

You know, this is a fatal flaw that all professional head coaches are eager to hold onto. Anyone who has participated in transfer negotiations knows how much oil and water there is and how much room to operate.

But he actually didn't want it.

Could it be that he really has no selfishness at all?

Do you really just want to help Chelsea get results?

When Abramovich passed Gao Han's words on the phone to Pini Zahavi, Granovskiya, Bruce Buck and others in front of him, the three of them were also a little surprised.

They had wanted to take back this power, but they had never found a chance, but now Gao Han has taken the initiative to give it up.

You should know that in the past few years, fans have been talking about the models of Manchester United and Arsenal, but within the Premier League, most clubs are seeking transformation, introducing manager model and sports director model on the European continent respectively.

Both models have a similar effect, that is, to change the traditional pattern of head coaches in the Premier League, share various powers of the head coach, limit the scope of power of the head coach, and form checks and balances.

The simplest point is, except for Ferguson and Wenger, the change of coaches in the Premier League is not long, and it is quite good to be able to work for three consecutive years. But there is a saying that goes, once the emperor is always the emperor, every head coach has his own style of playing and the players he likes, so the team cannot reorganize on a large scale after every change of coaches, right?

Therefore, a position that is arranged between the head coach and the management is relatively fixed, which can meet the team's long-term development plan. Using him to control the in and out of the entire team's players and even the selection of head coaches will undoubtedly reduce this loss to a minimum.

This is also very consistent with the management model of modern companies.

But in Chelsea, Gao Han's status and influence were too high. In the chaotic situation, the power granted to him was too great, which led to him almost covering the sky in Harrington, and even at Stamford Bridge, most of them were the only ones who were on his side.

Of course, his coaching performance is indeed quite outstanding and has won everyone's recognition.

Originally, the management did have the idea of ​​introducing a sports director, but considering Gao Han's particularity, he wanted to postpone the proposal. However, what he did not expect was that Gao Han now took the initiative to give up his power.

This made many people present, even Abramovich's confidants Bruce Buck and Granovskiya, were stunned and admired Gao Han's heart.

"He is making concessions to avoid internal conflicts." Bruce Barker exclaimed.

Granovskiya nodded repeatedly. Gao Han's move did avoid many potential conflicts and allowed the team to prepare for the next game with peace of mind.

But as soon as Bruce Buck finished speaking, Pini Zahavi chuckled, "I think he is very smart, but we are passive."

Everyone was stunned, and Abramovich frowned even more, "What do you mean?"

"He seems to have given up his power, but in fact, all transfer signings still have to be consulted. It is difficult for us to start operations if he doesn't agree. However, his move will win him unanimously recognized by players, even the outside media and fans. Look, how selfless it is."

Bruce Buck and Granovskiya both frowned. Can this matter be understood from this perspective?

"He made this move, and we will be able to sign players in the future. It is still his credit if we succeed. But if we fail, the management will take the blame. It is just like he invites players and family to his restaurant for dinner on Christmas. It's amazing!"

Bruce Buck and Granovskiya both jumped in their eyes when they heard this. Then they looked at Abramovich with a discomfort. They looked at each other and chose to remain silent.

They know in their hearts when they should say it and when they should not.

"Marina, who is Gao Han's target to introduce?" Abramovich asked.

Granovskiya quickly replied: "For the left-back, he wants to introduce Monaco's player Evra."

"Evra?" Abramovich frowned, never heard of it.

"Yes, he is only 22 years old. He played in the low-level Serie A league before. Later, he returned to China and performed well in Nice in Ligue 2. He switched to Monaco for two seasons and performed very well. Gao Han believes that this is a world-class left-back."

"What about the midfield?"

"In the midfield, Gao Han hopes to be relegated to West Ham United's Michael Carrick."

Abramovich still frowned, and he had never heard of this player.

Can these two players fit the star-studded Chelsea in his mind?

The Russian suddenly felt a irritability in his heart, and then took a deep breath.

Chelsea is their own team, why should we consider others?

Thinking of this, Abramovich looked at Pini Zahavi, "Pini, the progress of operating Ashley Cole should be quickly, and Vieira, Gerrard, and Bayern Munich's Barack, I want one of the three players."
