"Christmas is coming soon, and there is a double happiness. Should you treat all of us to a good meal?"

In the office of the Pinetina training base, Guardiola looked at Gao Han maliciously and asked with a smile.

Look at his appearance and tone, you don’t have to think about it. This meal is definitely not easy.

If you don’t feel sorry for Gao Han, you will feel a little disappointed with him.

"Double happiness is here? Is there any?" Gao Han continued to pretend to be stupid.

The assistants around them also found it funny and were happy to see Gao Han treat him, so it would be better to eat him poorly.

Of course, with Gao Han’s current wealth, I’m afraid they are all over, and it won’t be a problem.

"Stop pretending!" Sergio Garcia waved his hand, "We have heard of it, let me remind you of another keyword, the Golden Seat Award."

The Golden Seat Award is an award founded by the Italian Football Association in 1991 and was voted by the head coaches of Italian leagues at all levels. It mainly evaluates the coach's coaching performance last season. Anyone who wins this award can almost represent that his coaching ability has been recognized and affirmed by the entire Italian head coaching circle.

Everyone knows that Italy has many famous men, and it is quite difficult to get it.

What's even more rare is that this award will basically not be based on performance as the main assessment criteria, so in the past few years, there have been many head coaches with excellent coaching performance in mid- and lower-level teams who have won the award.

For example, Zacheloni, who coached Udinese in the 1990s, and Cavacin, who coached Lecce for two thousand years, defeated Lazio coach Eriksen and won the award. Dernelli, who later coached Chivo, also won the award.

Although this award is not judged by success or failure, it has one characteristic, that is, since its establishment in 1991, in addition to awarding the award to Belgian famous coach Raymond Gossels in 1991, all those who won this award in the past decade have been Italian head coaches.

Therefore, many people think that the Golden Seat Award is the best local coach award in Italy.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the emergence of famous Italian coaches. In the Serie A, it is basically dominated by famous local coaches.

Just this morning, the Milan Sports Daily published the news, and it is said that the exact news was obtained from the Italian Football Association that the winner of the Golden Seat Award last season was Gao Han.

This will also be the first time in 16 years that the Golden Seat Award has been awarded to a foreign coach.

And it is also said that Gao Han deserves the vote with an absolute overwhelming advantage.

"Golden Seat Award? What kind of gold seats and silver seats are, why can't I understand?" Gao Han asked again happily.

"Pretending, just keep pretending. I don't believe you haven't received the news." Sergio Garcia was the first to disbelieve him.

Looking at the others, they all looked like you were the best to confess and completely lost their trust in Gao Han.

Guardiola and Cantalero are even more like the look that you want to continue to pretend like this, so we seriously despise you.

"Okay, okay, I'll confess." Gao Han spread his hands and could only accept their blackmail. "I did receive the call. Yes, I won the Golden Seat Award. I treat you, right?"

Everyone then burst into laughter.

Although the Golden Seat Award was awarded to the head coach, it is actually an indirect affirmation of the coaching staff members.

This is in Italy, where many famous coaches are emerging, so it is definitely not easy to win this award.

"Hey, I asked you something, have you voted for yourself?" Sergio Garcia suddenly came up and asked.

Gao Han's expression was solemn, "Get out, am I so thick-skinned?"

After a pause, he said again: "Besides, I really think the Italian Football Association has excluded me long ago."

This is the truth. Since the telephone door incident broke out, many people outside the world have rumored that Gao Han is not popular within the Italian Football Association, and many senior Football Association leaders even accused him of doing things recklessly.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Gao Han finished speaking, Sergio Garcia immediately laughed, "That's not surprising. I heard that Plandelli got a vote, and everyone else was said to have voted for you, including Ancelotti."

Fatty An?

Gao Han was really surprised because he had no contact with Ancelotti, and Fatty An had a headache when he saw him. Even if he met during the game, the two of them basically just politely and politely greeted each other.

Now it seems that Fatty An is still very good-looking.

As for Gao Han voted for Plandelli, it was indeed because he felt that this Italian local coach had a very good coach in Fiorentina, and it was rare to be able to bring Purple Lily to the level of last season.

You know, Fiorentina does not have a real first-tier star.

"By the way, is there any result in the Champions League knockout draw?" Guardiola asked with concern.

Today is the day of the draw for the Champions League quarterfinals. The draw is in Nyon, Switzerland. Inter Milan arranged for Blanca to go to the scene, while Gao Han stayed in the team to prepare for the game.

"I don't know." Gao Han smiled bitterly, "I hope I can have good luck."

According to the ranking of eight groups, the first vs. the second, coupled with the principle of avoiding Rome and Bayern Munich, Inter Milan is truly likely to draw teams including Porto, Celtics, Eindhoven, Lille, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Among these teams, Barcelona is the strongest, and Real Madrid is closely behind. As for the other teams, it is basically difficult to pose a threat to Inter Milan.

"It's really a gutter. Who would have thought that Barcelona would lose to Chelsea in the group stage, and Capello, who has always been stable, even lost to Lyon." Guardiola shook his head and sighed with sighing.

Even now, he still has a very deep relationship with Barcelona.

"If you have better luck, we can also relax when we draw a weaker team." Cantalero smiled.

Everyone also felt it made sense and smiled and agreed.

At this moment, Gao Han's cell phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID was Blanca.

"Here." Gao Han raised his finger, touched his ears, "Hi, Marco, has the result been done?"

Everyone also looked at Gao Han with anticipation, waiting for the answer to the mystery to be revealed.

But soon, they noticed that Gao Han's face became a little heavier, and they immediately had an ominous premonition.

"Well, okay, I understand, let's talk about it when I come back."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Han looked at the assistants in front of him, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Everyone, we still have to work hard, it's Real Madrid."

"Real Madrid?" Everyone lost their voices.

Although I avoided the strongest Barcelona, ​​this is definitely not a good sign.

"Do they want to deliberately create strong conversations?" Sergio Garcia said angrily.

How unlucky is it to meet Bayern Munich in the group stage and Real Madrid in the knockout stage?

Needless to say, the next quarter-finals knockout rounds and the quarter-finals knockout rounds will definitely be basically strong teams and cannot be weak.

On the contrary, Gao Han, after revealing the mystery, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly and said, "Real Madrid is nothing. We haven't celebrated at the Bernabeu for a long time, right?"

When everyone heard his confident words, they couldn't help but laugh.

The lottery draw is really bad, but Inter Milan has the strength and confidence to defeat his opponent.

What's more, Real Madrid has not been able to break through the quarterfinals in the past two seasons, and fell at the feet of Juventus and Lyon respectively. Although Capello has been replaced this season, his performance has not improved much from the group stage.

So, the signing is good.

…………

…………

As soon as the draw results of the Champions League quarterfinals 16 knockout match was released, the venue at UEFA headquarters in Nyon was immediately in full swing.

As soon as the lottery ceremony ended, according to custom, representatives from major clubs went outside to accept interviews from media reporters.

Inter Milan's technical director said that the lottery luck was not particularly ideal.

"Real Madrid is one of the strongest teams in European football. They have outstanding superstars such as Ronaldo, Van Nistruei, Raul and Beckham. Capello is also a very outstanding head coach. He is very familiar with Serie A and Inter Milan, so we must be cautious."

But soon, Blanca changed his tone, "However, I also want to emphasize that we are the only team in the Champions League group stage to qualify for the record of winning. We will not be afraid of drawing any opponents. I believe that as long as the team continues to maintain the group stage, we can continue to advance."

But just as Blanca finished speaking, Mijatovic, the general manager of Real Madrid who was interviewed next to him, laughed and praised: "We are very satisfied with the lottery results, and the results are very good."

"Long before I came to Switzerland, head coach Capello told me that except for Premier League teams, it doesn't matter who Serie A and Bundesliga teams meet. As a result, we were so lucky and won Inter Milan."

Mijatovic's smug expression when answering the question made Blanca frown when he looked aside.

Is there any minimum respect for each other?

"Mr. Mijatovic, Inter Milan maintained a complete victory on all fronts last season, and this season is the same." A reporter from the opposite side kindly reminded.

"Yes, I know, they are a very strong team and are very competitive, but I still think we can enter the quarterfinals because we all know that after the phone gate incident, the strength of the Serie A has declined very quickly, the player loss is serious, and more importantly, we are not afraid of teams like Inter Milan."

"But you should know that Gao Han used to coach Atletico Madrid to be quite good at Real Madrid."

"Yes, but that's all over, isn't it?" Mijatovic asked with a smile.

"In the past, we were superstitious about superstar strategies, which led to problems in the team's team formation strategy and even made mistakes in the selection of head coaches. However, we have adjusted well in the past six months. We have introduced famous coaches and powerful players such as Capello and Emerson, and Samuel is also performing better and better in the central defender."

"Especially, we're good at home, so, I guess, we'll end two rounds at the Bernabeu."

According to the schedule of the Champions League quarterfinals, the second team will be hosted first and then away, and the first round of the two sides should be held at the Bernabeu.

Blanca was a little dumbfounded when she listened. I believe that many media reporters were like him and seriously doubted where Mijatovic's confidence came from?

Where did he get the confidence to say such words?

But if you think about it carefully, it will not be surprising.

At least from Mijatovic's words, it can be heard that he and the current Real Madrid management are desperately trying to separate from the management led by Florentino in the past, so as soon as he and Calderon came to power, they were the first to use superstar strategy.

Now, this is also for this purpose.

After all, the European war is not effective, and it is also one of the fuses for Florentino's resignation.
Chapter completed!
