"Good afternoon, Mr. Gao Han!"

In the afternoon, at the gate of Mahada Enda Sports City, when Gao Han got off the taxi and passed by the security room, the security guards inside obviously had a bit of respect for him than before.

"Good afternoon!" Gao Han returned the gift politely, feeling a little accomplished.

Last night, he won the club's initial recognition from management to regular employees.

But this is just the beginning!

Marcos Alonso also won the first game of coaching the team, but he was defeated and gradually lost the love and respect of everyone in the team.

Professional football is so cruel and realistic!

Walk into the gate, pass through the internal parking lot, and arrive at the fork in the road.

Opposite is the training area for the second team and the youth team, and to the right is the training area for the first team.

Although they are all in a small sports city, in fact, forward and right are two completely different worlds.

Thinking about my parents who were far away in Beijing and eager to buy a house, and thinking about Lin Xia, Gao Han resolutely walked to the right.

Since he has come here, he doesn't want to go back.

"Boss, the lottery results are out!"

As soon as he arrived at the first team training building, Sergio Garcia quickly came up to meet him.

According to the custom of the Copa del Rey, after the knockout round, a lottery will be drawn at the Spanish Football Association headquarters at noon the next day.

Among the teams currently entering the quarterfinals of the Copa REU, six are La Liga teams, namely Barcelona, ​​Zaragoza, Celta, Athletic Santander, Real Mallorca and Espanyol.

The other two teams, one is Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Second Division and the other is Granada in the fourth group of the second division.

If Gao Han thought, it would be better to draw Granada, which would be more confident.

But his luck with Atletico Madrid was obviously not so good.

"We drew Celta!"

Gao Han frowned. This is a strong La Liga team.

Celta's head coach is Victor Fernandez, one of the most powerful young coaches in Spain in recent years.

He debuted in Zaragoza in the 1980s. He started with the youth team and climbed step by step to the first team head coach position.

In 1991, Zaragoza was in a turmoil and was deeply trapped in the relegation zone. At the critical moment, Victor Fernandez saved the team and led Zaragoza to successfully relegate. In the next five years, Zaragoza became famous as a strong team in the middle and upper reaches of La Liga.

He transferred to Celta in 1998 and brought this La Liga weak team with the purpose of relegation to the middle and upper reaches in one go.

In the past two seasons, Celta's league rankings have been stable at sixth and fifth, which is quite amazing.

But this summer, Real Madrid poached the midfield core midfielder Marklele. Although Celta received a lot of cash, the team's lineup was disrupted. The current performance was not ideal, ranking 16th in La Liga.

This is also the sorrow of some small teams, and they cannot keep people.

The same situation is also the Athletic Santander. After sending off the center forward Salva, his performance plummeted and is currently at the bottom of La Liga.

Under the current circumstances, Atletico Madrid is really unlucky to draw Celta.

How great it would be if Granada was drawn!

...

After hearing Sergio Garcia's words, Gao Han smiled slightly, and did not express a word, but just asked Sergio Garcia to call Cantalero for a meeting.

When Gao Han approached his office and as soon as he sat down, Cantalero and Sergio Garcia came.

"Don't think about Celta for the time being, we will start to pay attention to the game against Levante the day after tomorrow."

Cantalero and Garcia both nodded.

"I have collected a lot of Levante's intelligence." Garcia immediately took out one of the documents he brought and handed it to Gao Han. "This is their data for this season, including goals, goals conceded, home and away results, etc."

Gao Han raised his hand and signaled them to sit down and say, flipped through the documents, and looked at them attentively.

"Sergio, this data is not detailed enough."

"Hmm?" Sergio Garcia didn't understand much.

"I want you to be more detailed, from the time the team scores and concedes, to the performance of each player in different time periods, and make a more detailed report from these aspects."

Sergio Garcia's eyes lit up at first. He had never thought about this angle before, but...

"Boss, this workload..."

Gao Han thought about it and said that the workload was really too high. If you do it alone, you would probably have to work overtime day and night.

"Then let's get a compromise. Focus on their core players first, but the data must be detailed and accurate."

"I understand!" Garcia nodded.

Gao Han sighed. When he had a little more power in the future, he would definitely get the data analysis team up as soon as possible.

Because he found that this can help himself and the players understand their opponents more effectively.

Many times, in these cold data, you can find some problems that even the opponents and even the players themselves have not discovered.

"Carlos, our next training is still the same as before. We need to practice every training class in group offense and defense, which will help to integrate the team's tactical formation and cultivate the players' tacit understanding."

"clear."

"Also, don't have too much training volume, focus on adjustment and recovery."

"Okay." Cantalero nodded.

"Levante's team has a problem with defense, but their offensive ability is not bad."

Speaking of this, Gao Hanlong smiled coldly.

Cantalero and Sergio Garcia have worked with him for more than half a year, so I don’t understand what he is thinking.

Defensive problems are very big, but they tend to attack. Isn’t this the best target for defensive counterattack?

…………

January 27, 2001, afternoon.

Located in the center of Madrid, Calderon Stadium is crowded with people.

Three days ago, the away game reversed Vallecano and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the King's Cup 8, fans of the Bedding Team rushed into the Calderon Stadium wildly.

In fact, Atletico Madrid's season ticket and ticket sales this season are more popular than before when they were in La Liga.

However, with Zambrano's three-game losing streak at the beginning of the season and the later coaching period of Marcos Alonso, the performance did not improve, which made the fans very disappointed with the team, which led to a decline in attendance at Calderon Stadium.

Many fans even turned to the second team coached by Gao Han.

Now, Gao Han has joined the first team and led the team to reverse Vallecano away in the first game and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. This greatly stimulated the fans of the Bedmont Army and directly led to the attendance rate of Calderon Stadium.

When Hill and his son, Cerezo and Paul Fottery walked into the chairman's stands and felt the atmosphere on the scene, they were quite relieved, at least the attendance rate finally rebounded.

Although compared with Calderon Stadium, which was full of seats and hot atmosphere at its peak, the current attendance and home atmosphere are still very weak, this atmosphere has been quite rare in the past two years.

It can be seen that Gao Han and the battle three days ago did indeed regain confidence for the fans.

"Hopefully he won't be the second Marcos Alonso!"

Old Hill's fat and bloated body sat in the seat of the chairman's stands, sighing with anxiety.

Once upon a time, Marcos Alonso's first battle was quite eye-catching, but after that...

"Don't worry, Gao Han is different from Marcos Alonso." Paul Futrey smiled.

Old Hill looked at Paul Futrey and smiled and said, "You are quite confident in him, but don't forget that he is only twenty-three years old. Even if he is strong in coaching, young people are always unstable."

"Father, I think there is no need to worry about this." Xiao Hill, who was standing beside him, also smiled.

"I just went to the locker room and chatted with him for a while. I think he is quite sure and has not become proud of the reversal three days ago. There should be no big problem."

"Well, this is good, but you can't be careless. Levante's head coach is a hungry hound."

Who said no?

Although in the Spanish league system division, La Liga, Spanish Second League, League Two and Spanish C seem to be advancing layer by layer, but in fact it is not just that.

La Liga and Spanish Second Division belong to the Spanish professional football league, with more formal management and more fierce competition.

On the contrary, the second league, Spanish C, and other leagues below all belong to the Spanish Football Association, and the management is even looser and more chaotic.

Take the second league as an example, it is full of semi-professional and even amateur teams.

Therefore, in Spain, being able to be the head coach of La Liga and Serie II teams is truly standing on the stage of the professional league, and the competition is extremely fierce, because every opponent is an old fry that has been tempered after more than ten years, or even decades.

There are unprecedented people like Gao Han who are only 23 years old but act as the head coach of Atletico Madrid.

If the Bedsheets Legion had not been so turbulent this season, Gao Han's performance in the second team was so brilliant that the management decided to take it as a living horse. If he had a gamble, Gao Han would not have had a chance.

Young and motivated is the advantage of Gao Han.

But lack of experience and not mature enough is Gao Han’s weakness.

So, how is this possible if you want people not to worry?
To be continued...
