Super Marshal

"Christmas is coming, double happiness is here, should you invite all of us to have 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 need to think about it, this meal is definitely not easy.

If you don't eat Gao Han, it will be a bit disappointing to his expression.

"Double happiness? Is there any?" Gao Han continued to pretend to be dumb.

The assistants all around felt amused too, and they were all very happy to see Gao Han treat him. It's best to eat him poorly.

Of course, with Gao Han's net worth today, I am afraid that they will all be able to support it and it will not be a hindrance.

"Don't pretend!" Sergio Garcia waved his hand. "We have all heard of it. Let me remind you another key word, the Golden Seat Award."

The Golden Seat Award is an award created by the Italian Football Association in 1991 and voted by the head coaches of various Italian leagues. The main assessment is the coaching performance of the head coach in the previous season. Anyone who gets this The award can almost represent that his coaching ability has been recognized and affirmed by the entire Italian coaching circle.

Everyone knows that Italy can be said to be famous and famous, and it is definitely not easy to get it.

What's even more rare is that this award is basically not based on performance as the main assessment criterion, so in the past few years, there are also some head coaches who have excellent performance in the middle and lower teams to win the award.

For example, Zaccheroni, who coached Udinese in the 1990s, and Cavacin, who coached Lecce in the two millennia, defeated Lazio coach Eriksson to win this award. Later, Del Neri, who coached Chievo, also won the award. Won this award.

Although this award is not a hero based on success or failure, it has one characteristic. From its inception in 1991 to the present, apart from awarding the award to the famous Belgian coach Raymond Gossels in 1991, there have been more than ten During the year, all the Italian coaches who won this award.

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

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

Just this morning, Gazzetta dello Sport published the news. It is said that the exact news was obtained from the Italian Football Association. The winner of the Golden Seat Award last season was Alpine.

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

And I heard that the vote was obtained with an absolute overwhelming advantage, and Gao Han is well deserved.

"Golden seat award? Why don't I understand what kind of gold seat and silver seat?" Gao Han asked cheerfully.

"Pretend, you just continue to pretend, I don't believe you didn't receive the news." Sergio Garcia was the first to not believe him.

Looking at other people, they all have the expressions that you'd better confess to, completely losing trust in Gao Han.

Guardiola and Cantarello are even more like you. If you continue to pretend to be like this, we will seriously despise your eyes.

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

Everyone laughed loudly.

Although the Golden Seat Award is awarded to the head coach, it can actually be regarded as an indirect affirmation of the coaching staff.

This is in Italy, where there are many famous men, it is definitely not easy to get this award.

"Hey, ask you something, did you vote for yourself too?" Sergio Garcia suddenly came up and asked.

Gao Han's expression was solemn, "Go away, is my cheek so thick?"

After a pause, he said again: "Furthermore, I really thought the Italian Football Association had ruled me out a long time ago."

This is the truth. Since the telephone door incident broke out, many people outside have heard that Gao Han is very unpopular within the Italian Football Association, and even many senior leaders of the Football Association have accused him of reckless behavior.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gao Han’s voice fell, Sergio Garcia laughed immediately, “That’s not surprising, I heard that Prandelli got a vote, and everyone else is said to have voted for you. , Including Ancelotti."

Fatty An?

Gao Han is really a bit surprised, because he and Ancelotti have no contact at all, and Fatty Ann gets a headache when he sees him. Even if they meet in a game, they are basically polite greetings. It's over.

It seems that Fatty An's character is still good.

As for the fact that Alpine voted for Prandelli, it is indeed because he feels that this Italian coach is very good at coaching in Florence, and he can bring Viola to the level of last season. He is also considered commendable.

You know, Fiorentina has no real first-line star.

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

Today is the day of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 knockout draw. The draw is in Nyon, Switzerland. Inter Milan arranged for Blanca to go to the scene, and Alpine stayed with the team to prepare for the game.

"I don't know." Gao Han gave a wry smile, "I hope I can have good luck."

According to the rankings of the eight groups, first vs. second, coupled with the same group and same country evasion principle, avoiding Rome and Bayern Munich. Inter Milan’s real possibility of winning teams include Porto, Celtics, and Egypt. Indhoven, Lille, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

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

"It's really overturned in the 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 sighingly.

Even now, he still has very deep feelings for Barcelona.

"If you are lucky, draw a weaker team, let's relax." Cantarello laughed.

Everyone also felt reasonable, and they all agreed with a smile.

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

"Come on." Gao Han raised his finger and leaned to his ear after connecting, "Hi, Marco, are there any results?"

Everyone also looked at Gao Han expectantly, 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 all had an ominous premonition.

"Well, well, I know, I'll talk about it later."

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

"Real Madrid?" everyone was silent.

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

"Are they deliberately creating a strong dialogue?" Sergio Garcia said angrily.

In the group stage, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the knockout stage. How unlucky is this?

Needless to say, the next eight knockout rounds and semi-final knockout rounds will definitely be basically strong teams, not weak.

On the contrary, it was Alpine. After the mystery was revealed, the whole person was relieved and smiled slightly: "It's nothing for Real Madrid. We haven't celebrated at the Bernabeu for a long time, right?"

When everyone heard such a confident sentence, they couldn't help laughing.

Luck in the draw is really bad, but Inter Milan has the strength and confidence to beat the opponent.

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

Therefore, the signing is good.

…………

…………

When the Champions League round of 16 knockout draw results were released, the venue of UEFA headquarters in Nyon was boiling.

As soon as the lottery was over, as usual, representatives of major clubs went outside to accept interviews by media reporters.

Inter Milan’s technical director said that the luck of the draw was not particularly ideal.

"Real Madrid is one of the strongest teams in European football. They have outstanding superstars such as Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Raul and Beckham. , I am very familiar with Inter Milan, we have to be cautious."

But soon, Blanca changed his front. "However, I also want to emphasize that we are the only team in the UEFA Champions League group stage to maintain a full victory record. We will not be afraid to draw any opponents. , I believe that as long as the team continues to maintain the state of the group stage, we can continue to advance."

But just as Blanca's voice fell off, Real Madrid general manager Mijatović, who was interviewed next to him, laughed and praised: "We are very satisfied with the result of this draw, and the result is very good."

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

The triumphant expression Mijatovic had when answering the question made Blanca frown as he watched from the side.

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 opposite kindly reminded.

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

"But you should know that when Gao Han coached Atletico Madrid in the past, his results against Real Madrid were also very good."

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

"In the past, we were superstitious about the superstar strategy, which caused problems in the team's team strategy and even made mistakes in the selection of the head coach. But we have adjusted it well in the past six months and we have brought in Cape Famous coaches and capable players such as Rowe and Emerson, Samuel is also getting better and better at the central defender."

"In particular, we are good at home games, so I guess we will end two rounds at the Bernabeu."

According to the UEFA Champions League round of sixteen knockout rounds ~ www.readwn.com ~ the second team will be home and away, the first round of the two sides should be held in the Bernabeu.

Blanca was a little dumbfounded to hear from the side, I believe that many media reporters are like him, and they all doubt seriously, where does Mijatović's self-confidence come from?

Where does his confidence come from, dare to say such a thing?

But if you think about it again, it won't be surprising.

At least from Mijatović’s words, I can hear that he and the current Real Madrid management desperately want to separate themselves from the management led by Florentino in the past, so he and Calderon came to power. , The first one took the superstar strategy.

Now that I say that, more or less for this purpose.

After all, the weak European war was also one of the fuse for Florentino to step down.

Therefore, when the reporter asked Blanca's response to Mijatović's remarks, the technical director of Inter Milan shook his head dumbfoundedly and sighed, "It's a mystery of confidence!"
