Chapter 53 He's Different!(1/2)
The club's general manager, Hill, was responsible for hosting this meeting.
Gao Han and Paul Futre sat on the left and right sides of Little Hill respectively.
This scene also surprised many reporters on the scene because they were too young.
Hill Jr. and Paul Footrey are young and strong in the positions of general manager and technical director.
But unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid has even produced a 23-year-old head coach.
This is indeed incredible!
"Thank you all for coming. Today we held this press conference, mainly to announce a decision to everyone."
When Xiao Hill said this, he paused for a moment and glanced at the reporters on the scene.
“After a unanimous decision by our management, we have ended Marcos Alonso’s work contract.”
“We thank Marcos for all the efforts made in recent months, but unfortunately, we feel that it is time for the team to change, so we regret to make the decision to terminate the work contract early.”
At the scene, in addition to Xiao Hill's voice, there were the rustling sounds of reporters copying and the sound of camera taking pictures.
"We will appoint Gao Han as our team's acting head coach. He was the head coach of our team, who led the team to win 22 consecutive victories in the first group of the second league. Before that, he led the amateur team from Fuen Lavrada in early August this summer to win the Madrid Community Invitational Championship."
"We are very satisfied with his work at Atletico Madrid, and we all feel that he can bring some new and positive changes to the team, and we believe that he can help the team through this difficulty."
Speaking of this, Xiao Hill stood up from his seat and turned to Gao Han.
"The team will be handed over to you in the next six months!"
Gao Han also stood up quickly, held Xiao Hill's outstretched hand, and nodded seriously to agree.
The sound of cameras snapping on the scene became even louder.
But amid the sound, Gao Han clearly felt the movements from the coaching system in his mind.
After a dazzling light, the coaching system was actually upgraded.
Oh my God, I actually upgraded at this time!
From the original second-level fledgling to the third-level famous.
Good guy!
I wonder, what benefits will this upgrade bring?
I have more than thirty achievements waiting, it’s a luxury enough!
At the press conference, Gao Han suppressed the excitement in his heart and still looked calm and composed.
"Hello everyone, what I want to say is that thanking the club management for giving me the opportunity to coach Atletico Madrid, it is an honor for me. I will do my best to do my best. I hope to help the team out of the current predicament, thank you."
Gao Han's speech is very consistent with his current status. It is very simple and pragmatic, and very low-key.
This is wise, because it is useless to say more without a good result.
After Gao Han's speech, the press conference entered the reporter's questioning session.
The reporters present first threw the question to Xiao Hill and asked the management why he chose a 23-year-old rookie to serve as the head coach, although he was just an agent.
Xiao Hill was mentally prepared for this question, and when answering it, he took care of all emotions and was very thorough.
Later, a reporter asked if the management had any plans for the current situation?
The reporter even mentioned Aragonese at the end of the question.
Hill said that he respects Aragonese very much, but the current contract of the Spanish coach is in Real Mallorca, so he is not convenient for him to comment.
Later, Hill also publicly admitted that the team was too optimistic about playing in the Spanish Second Division and made some mistakes, but was learning lessons. He repeatedly stated that the team did not give up on the hope of upgrading.
This made the reporters present very uproar.
It's all here, the team is in the relegation zone, and they say they haven't given up on the hope of upgrading?
When the reporters saw that the old fried dough stick little Hill had no choice, they immediately turned the problem to the young Gao Han.
In this fledgling rookie coach, you should be able to get something out, right?
The first question is very sharp.
"Mr. Gao Han, how do you evaluate what Mr. Hill said just now? Do you think Atletico Madrid is still likely to be promoted to La Liga?"
This is a dilemma, at least that's what the reporter thinks.
But Gao Han nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I fully support his words."
"But the team currently ranks 20th in the Spanish Second Division and is deeply trapped in the relegation zone." The reporter reminded.
"That's right, but we still have twenty-one rounds of league games, and the points gap between us and the teams in the upgrade zone is not unavailable."
Even journalists have to admit that there are indeed theoretical possibilities.
"Mr. Gao Han, Fernando Zambrano once said that the biggest problem of Atletico Madrid is the aging of the team. He once said that if the team performs, it must be younger. I would like to ask you, what do you think of this group of veterans in the team? Do you think they are suitable to continue to stay in the team?"
The reporter's problem is that one is sharper than the other. At this point, even Hill and Paul Footrey find it difficult.
It is related to old players. If one does not handle it well, it is easy to cause trouble.
Xiao Hill also gently reminded him, "Gao Han, you can not answer this question."
But Gao Han shook his head, thought about it, and answered positively.
"I definitely don't agree with Zanburano's words, I absolutely don't agree with it!"
Gao Han's statement made the reporters at the press conference an uproar.
Is this going to fight Zanburano?
After the Madrid local coach was fired, he was so happy that he was doing nothing with the club's breach of contract.
"The team does have several veterans, but I don't think they are old enough to contribute to the team. On the contrary, I think this group of veterans will become the key to the team getting out of the predicament."
"I need to clarify a way for everyone. After the team was relegated half a year ago, many players chose to leave the team, but there are also a group of players who firmly chose to stay because they have feelings for this team, they love Atletico Madrid, and they are willing to help this team get out of the predicament."
"They were all very outstanding professional players. Some of them were heroes of the double championship, and some were old ministers who had played for the club for many years. They not only had rich game experience, but also had a very deep relationship with the club."
"I want to say that they are definitely the least willing to see Atletico Madrid fall to this level, so I firmly believe that they will work hard and will work hard to help the team get out of the predicament."
"The key is that they need opportunities, they need to be trusted, and they need to be supported!"
"It's obvious that Zambrano didn't give them such opportunities, trust and support!"
The reporters at the scene were all excited.
With Gao Han's words, they can make a big hype.
At least, it would be fine to provoke a war between him and Zambrano.
"Mr. Gao Han, I have to admit that what you said makes sense, but we all know that if a team wants to achieve results, the lineup must be reasonable."
"Yes, you're right." Gao Han nodded, "We have more than twenty people in one team, but why do you always look at our veterans?"
"Well, Mr. Gao Han, how do you think about what Salva said, and it is not ruled out that he left the team during the winter break?"
Gao Han shook his head, "I don't know why he said that. I will talk to him as soon as possible. I hope I can hear him tell me personally."
"What if he insists on leaving the team?" The reporter pressed step by step.
“I don’t answer hypothetical questions.”
Hill Jr. and Paul Futre immediately praised Gao Han's response.
This problem is simply a pitfall!
"Mr. Gao Han, the agent of Portuguese genius Ugo Leyal, said that his players did not receive the trust they deserve in the team. What do you think?"
"I don't know, but I will talk to Ugo face to face as soon as possible. He is a genius and his talent is something that no team can refuse. I hope to solve his current dilemma."
"Mr. Gao Han, what do you think of Kiko?"
“He is the flag of the team.”
"But he is disappointed with the current situation of the team and is also disappointed with his current situation in the team. He is not ruled out that he will leave the team this summer or even retire. What do you think?"
"As it still, I will talk to the players myself, and I hope to help them solve the problem."
As the reporters raised one question after another, Gao Han also responded calmly again and again.
This group of reporters who had originally embraced Gao Han and gradually realized that this young Chinese were not as easy to fool as they imagined.
His answers seem frank, but in fact they are always consciously avoiding the traps in their questions.
More importantly, his answer was very good.
Although it is not as smooth as the old fried dough stick Hill, at least it is not as good as Zambrano, who fired at the veterans in the first press conference, nor is it as submissive as Marcos Alonso.
He is different!
The press conference was originally expected to be about ten minutes, but unexpectedly, it was extended to more than twenty minutes before it ended.
Judging from the expressions of the reporters when they left, although they failed to get what they wanted, they at least got a lot of heavy information.
This also made Hill and Paul Futre both breathe a sigh of relief.
"Gao Han, I will arrange for the press officer to come back. You have to strengthen your Q&A skills when facing reporters."
