Chapter 603 Don't Let Me Down

The advantage of famous coaches is often not about how outstanding his coaching ability is, but about the support and resources he can obtain.

Just like Gao Han, he was able to make Bayern Munich's Big Three invest 100 million euros in transfer fees for him, allowing all players to play for him willingly. Even three players who were far away in Canada took the time to come to Munich, met Gao Han in person, and talked for a while before returning to Canada.

It's hard to imagine how he could have gotten all this if he was an ordinary head coach?

But did this fall from the sky out of thin air?

No, this is what Gao Han has fought through the past few years, one after another.

The first day of training camp was opened. All the first team players, whether they were the main players of Kahn, Lucio, Ram, or new players like Modric, Tony Cross, Robben and Ribery, or young players promoted by the second team such as Thomas Muller and Hummels, all came to the team in advance without exception.

They came to the locker room early, changed their clothes, and prepared everything before training.

By the time Gao Han walked into the locker room, everyone was already dressed neatly.

As soon as he saw him, he immediately stood up in unison and stood solemnly on both sides of the locker room.

As early as the past few days, Gao Han had met each of them and had half an hour of communication, so they were no strangers to each other and did not have those polite greetings.

"There are many journalists and fans outside the media now. It is said that thousands of fans came to Sebena just to watch our training, so I said some things in the locker room."

The players still stood up with their heads raised and their chests stood up.

"Each of you has a team's rules and regulations in your cabinet. That's what I ask of you. My philosophy of managing the team is trust, so I will allow you to do a lot of things, including staying at your home the night before the game, and of course, if you feel it's necessary, you can also live in Sebena."

In European football, staying in a hotel or training base the night before the game is already the routine of most teams.

However, Gao Han had basically no such requirements from Atletico Madrid to Chelsea to Inter Milan. The most obvious one is Chelsea. He did not require it when he led the team, but Mourinho immediately rushed as soon as he took office.

"But I like to say ugly things ahead. If I find someone doing something off the court that I can't trust, then I'm sorry, I won't believe you can do anything on the court."

All the players listened very seriously and remembered them deeply in their hearts.

Gao Han's method of managing the team has been discovered by countless media over the past few years. Anyone who knows him knows that he requires players and coaches to trust each other, or even trust with heart-to-heart.

This is also why he has been able to receive the support and love of so many stars in the past few years.

"In addition, I have a clear goal, I like to win, I believe no one likes to lose, so I will ask every player to do his best, no matter what way he walks on the court, even if there is only one minute left when he plays, I will ask him to do his best."

"I like ambitious and smart players. I don't like to do it recklessly, so I hope that you must always be calm and rational in training or in games, and always ask yourself, why do I do this? What's the point of doing this?"

"In the end, what I want to say is that we have four events to play this season. The earliest German League Cup will start in late July, followed by the Bundesliga, German Cup and UEFA Cup. The number of our first teams is not large, and everyone will get a lot of opportunities to play."

"Just just now, media reporters and fans asked me if I can continue my winning streak after coming to the Bundesliga and coaching Bayern Munich. My answer is, I don't know, but now, here, in front of you, what I want to say is that I hope and believe that I can continue this winning streak, but the premise is that each of you can trust me and give my all in the game."

"I personally selected everyone you can show up here, and I hope you don't let me down."

When he said this, Gao Han clapped his hands vigorously, indicating that everyone could go out.

…………

According to Gao Han's arrangement, the first training class in Sebena was mainly focused on recovery and adjustment.

The real training camp was in the Danube Schengen training camp, but the time was tight, only two weeks later, and we would participate in the German League Cup in late July.

This event is somewhat similar to the pre-season Super Cup. There are six participating teams, namely the top four in the league, the German Cup champion and the German Second Division champion, and the knockout system is adopted.

Since Bayern Munich only won fourth in the league last season, he has to participate in the first round of knockout round.

The rules for the knockout round are that the league champion and cup champion directly advance to the semi-finals, the league runner-up against the German second league champion, and the league third against the league fourth.

The rules of the game are that there is no overtime, and the winner cannot be decided within 90 minutes, so you can directly enter the penalty kick.

After playing the German League Cup, the German Cup was ushered in early August, followed by the first round of the Bundesliga.

There are only eighteen teams in the Bundesliga, and the thirty-four rounds of the league have started early. It seems that the schedule is not stressful, but in fact it may not be, because after the first half of the 17th round, there is a nearly two-month winter break between the 18th round of the second half.

This is because Germany is located northerly, which causes the entire cold winter to be spent in heavy snow. In addition, not every team in the Bundesliga has been equipped with a geothermal system, which causes the turf to freeze. In addition, the climate is severely cold, so it is not suitable for competition.

However, there are also many people who complain about the long winter break period and have some complaints. For example, football emperor Beckenbauer, who has always been a firm advocate of shortening the winter break period, but years of appeals cannot change the current situation of the Bundesliga.

But it is undeniable that both players and coaches, the existence of the winter break is a good thing.

At least, the two-month winter break can allow players to rest, recharge the team halfway, and prepare for the second half.

The morning training session was very easy, the players were actively adjusting, and fans and media reporters were also watching it with great pleasure.

After the training, the coaching staff also arranged time to let the players interact with media reporters and fans.

This is also a proposal from Bayern Munich Fan Services.

Although he was the first to coach Bayern Munich, Gao Han could feel that Bayern Munich and even the entire Bundesliga all attached great importance to fans and considered it very well. But what is interesting is that the price of Bundesliga tickets is very low.

Take Bayern Munich as an example. The team's income is very high, but it mainly comes from business operations. In terms of tickets, it is quite cheap, which makes Bayern Munich's home attendance rate always at a high level, and the relationship between the club and the fans is also very harmonious.

After the morning training class, the players went back to rest, packed their luggage, and returned to the team in the afternoon.

After the team reassembled, they went directly to Donauer Schengen, a small town in the southwestern border of Germany.

Danauer Schengen is located on the edge of the German Black Forest, and the closest big city is Zurich, Switzerland.

What surprised Gao Han and all those who came here for the first time was that the source of the famous Danube River, which was famous all over the world, was in this unknown small town that was isolated from the world.

The Brigahe River flowing through the center of Danube Schengen and the Brek River converge in Danube Schengen, forming the famous Danube River, so it attracts many tourists who follow the map every year to explore the source of the Danube River.

There is a castle park east of Danauer Schengen. It is said to be the castle of a famous German grand duke. There is a circular pool in the park, which is praised by the locals as an inexhaustible divine spring. There are many wish coins thrown by tourists at the bottom of the pool. It is said that this can bring good luck, and this is the source of the Danube River.

Now, the Castle Park has been developed into a large tourist attraction, surrounded by several football fields and a standard stadium, as well as an outdoor swimming pool and sports venue, and to the south of the park is the resort's single-family cottage.

Bayern Munich often comes here for training, just to stay in this castle park.

When arriving in Donauer Schengen, the team organized a tourist event to explore the source of the Blue Danube.

Whether it is the coaching staff or the players, they have heard that the Daming of the Danube River can train at the source of the Danube, which also brings an unprecedented stimulating experience to everyone. Many people even began to look forward to this two-week romantic training.

But soon, Gao Han's cruel pre-season training completely dispelled the last trace of artistic and literary imagination in their body and mind.

I practiced three times a day, and each training class maintained a high-intensity training of 90 minutes, almost exhausted every player. Not to mention enjoying the natural beauty of Danube, I recited poems on the blue Danube River. They were trained so much that they didn’t even have the strength to go out at night, and some even went to bed early.

However, the players have long heard of Gao Han’s devil training and have been preparing to peel off the skin, because they all know that judging from Gao Han’s coaching experience in the past, the devil training before the game can often allow his team to maintain better physical fitness and avoid injuries more effectively.

This is undoubtedly attractive to professional players.

Therefore, although the training is very hard and tiring, every player still meticulously executes Gao Han’s training arrangements. Gao Han does not blindly pursue high intensity, but emphasizes the combination of work and rest, helps the players to reserve physical fitness and adjust their condition to the best.

After a week of devil training, all the players gradually adapted to the intensity of the high-altitude training, and the team also arranged a warm-up match with amateur teams in the surrounding areas, playing in the Castle Park, and Bayern Munich easily won 6-0.

However, in this game, Gao Han basically continued Heathfield's style of playing last season, adopting a two-forward four-four-two formation.

Although the players' physical fitness is still quite bad after a week of physical reserve training, Bayern Munich easily won with his strong strength advantage.

However, many problems were also exposed during the game, such as the organization of the midfield and the passing control.

Gao Han has always attached great importance to the midfield because this is the key to the offensive and defensive transition. The reason why Bayern Munich performed poorly last season was also a key factor in the midfield's poor offensive and defensive transition.
