Super Marshal

When Atletico Madrid returned to Madrid from Portugal, the Spanish media had already received the news that Harvey Alonso was injured, and they paid a lot of attention.

Everyone knows that Harvey Alonso is the core of Atletico Madrid's midfield, and his injury is bound to affect Atletico Madrid's combat effectiveness, especially considering the upcoming Spanish Super Cup.

Harvey Alonso was injured at this critical moment, which undoubtedly cast an unknown shadow on the Madrid derby in the Super Cup.

Therefore, many Spanish journalists have chased after the capital airport and photographed the scene of Atletico Madrid returning home.

Xavi Alonso's walk is obviously different from usual, and team doctor Jose Maria Belleron is also closely following him.

As soon as they left the airport, the two went directly to the La Paz Affiliated Hospital near the airport.

Gao Han wasn’t in a good mood either, so he didn’t accept an interview with the reporters present. After urging the players to get on the bus, he returned directly to Mahadahnda. Accompanied by Lei Luo, he came to the La Paz Affiliated Hospital.

At this time, Harvey Alonso's detailed inspection report has come out.

"How about it?"

Seeing the team doctor Belleron and the attending doctor from the Affiliated Hospital of La Paz walking over with the inspection report, Gao Han and the others immediately went up to them and asked questions with concern.

"Preliminary testing, right ankle sprain, not a big problem."

Gao Han and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

If Harvey Alonso is injured, it will be a terrible blow to Atletico Madrid.

Gao Han was also secretly lucky. The pre-season optimized training purchased by the coach system can guarantee that the players will not only not get injured under all kinds of abuse and abuse, but can make progress and adjust to the best state.

But the problem is that injuries during the game are unavoidable.

Who knew that Jardel guy would drop back and play such a heavy foot?

"How long do you want to rest?" Gao Han asked again.

The team doctor Belleron was a little helpless, and sighed, "The initial estimate is two weeks."

In a word, the mood of everyone present fell to the bottom again.

two weeks?

In other words, Xavi Alonso will miss the two legs of the Super Cup with Real Madrid.

"What the hell!" Gao Han cursed angrily.

Everyone present was also a little depressed.

Strictly speaking, it is not a big problem for a player to be injured and rest for two weeks, but the biggest problem now is that the Madrid derby is about to usher in. The injury at this juncture is really...

Not to mention Gao Han, even Harvey Alonso himself felt quite depressed.

He is also full of expectations for this game personally, and he also knows that the team has been preparing for these two games for a long time, and getting injured at a critical moment is bound to disrupt the team's overall deployment.

"Maybe we can think of some ways, for example..." team doctor Belleron suggested.

But before he finished speaking, Gao Han shook his head, "No, no, Jose, he is still young, don't take risks for a game."

The team doctor's proposal was to play closed, but for the young Harvey Alonso, it was completely unnecessary.

Looking at Harvey Alonso, who was a little depressed, Gao Han suppressed the depression in his heart and squeezed out a smile.

"Go back and rest well, report an hour early tomorrow, and leave the rest to me."

Javi Alonso looked up, looking deeply at his coach with apologetic eyes.

According to Gao Han's regulations, the injured must come to the team one hour in advance, accept the examination of the team doctor and the coaching staff, and then arrange his training program according to his injury condition.

In the pre-season optimization training, there are also unique training programs for the wounded, hoping to help him return to the team as soon as possible.

…………

…………

I have to admire the keen sense of smell of the Spanish paparazzi.

When Gao Han and others took Harvey Alonso out of the La Paz Affiliated Hospital, there were at least four or five reporters blocking the door.

As soon as they saw the Atletico Madrid crowd coming out, they immediately chased after them.

Gao Han walked in the front and signaled the team doctor Belleron to take the injured Harvey Alonso to get in the car and leave first.

The reporters were blocked by Gao Han and Cantarero, so they had no choice but to interview Gao Han.

"Mr. Gao Han, I heard that Harvey Alonso is seriously injured, is it true?"

"fake."

"But I have a friend in this hospital and he said that Xabi Alonso will not play against Real Madrid."

"Ha, your friend is better than the doctor, he told you, why do you ask me?"

"Mr. Gao Han, will the absence of Xavi Alonso affect the deployment of Atletico Madrid?"

"I'll say it again, he's fine."

"But the way he was walking just now..."

"it's common."

...

All the reporters present felt a headache, this Chinese is getting more and more adept at dealing with the media.

When Carlos Pena took the car out of the parking lot, Gao Han turned around and left, ignoring the reporters chasing behind him, got into the car with Cantarero, and left directly.

"The noses of these guys are really good!" Gao Han said with a wry smile as he sat in the back seat by the window.

Carlos Pena, who was driving in the front seat, chuckled, "That's what they live on."

Cantarero in the passenger seat looked over at Gao Han, "What should we do now?"

Harvey Alonso was injured and lost a core general in the fourth position. This loss to Atletico Madrid is not ordinary, and it is a bit close to Barcelona losing Guardiola.

"What do you think?" Gao Han asked back.

At this time, his mind was a little messed up, he couldn't think of too many things, and he needed to calm down.

"Generally speaking, there are two ways to solve this problem. One is to use personnel adjustments to make up for the absence of Harvey Alonso based on the current status of the team. Gabi may be feasible."

But Gao Han shook his head, "Gabi is too young to control the scene."

You know, this time we are facing Real Madrid!

Harvey Alonso is not very old, but he is very precocious and stable, and although it is half a season in the second league and half season in the second league, at least he has played a full season, and he is more stable at critical moments.

Especially the experience of the Copa del Rey final is so precious!

In Gao Han's tactics, the most important thing about the position of the midfielder is to be stable.

"There is another way. Marcos Senna withdraws and plays the fourth position. Baptista starts. We tried it in the warm-up match. The ball control is not good, but if we concentrate on defense, it should not be bad."

Gao Han nodded, this is indeed a way.

The most valuable thing about Marcos Senna is that he not only has solid skills, good passing ability, hard-working defense, can run, grab and intercept, and most importantly, he works hard.

If Gao Han asked him to retreat to play the fourth position, before telling him to stick to the big penalty area, he would really die without moving his position.

But in this way, the team's tactics have to be changed again and again.

Facing Real Madrid, Deco alone cannot control the midfield.

The Spanish Super Cup is a two-legged match, with Atletico Madrid playing host first and then away.

According to Gao Han's previous strategy, we must do our best to win the home game, but now...

"Maybe, we can also consider signings. We really need a qualified substitute in this position." Cantarero suggested.

signings?

Gao Han's heart moved, and the first thing that came to mind was Guardiola.

They haven't been in touch since the last time they met at a party.

But in the past few days, the situation in the European transfer market has changed dramatically.

First, Real Madrid announced that it had withdrawn from the competition for Mendieta, and then the Bat Corps sent Mendieta to Lazio at a sky-high price.

Immediately afterwards, the British media broke the news that Arsenal had successfully retained Vieira, Wenger personally came forward to persuade the French midfielder to stay in the team, and Real Madrid's poaching failed.

But in this way, Arsenal does not need Guardiola anymore.

I don't know what he's thinking now?

Gao Han stared out the window in a daze, thinking.

It's not that Guardiola has only one goal, such as Thiago of Braga in the Portuguese Super League.

If Mendes came forward, it should be easy to get it, and the price is not expensive, about two million euros.

Lazio is also selling Spanish midfielder De La Pena everywhere. This former Barcelona genius midfielder has outstanding strength, but whether he was in Lazio, was loaned to Marseille, or returned to Barcelona last season, he failed to get a chance.

The Serie A giants set a price of three million euros for him, which is very cost-effective.

Also looking for a buyer is Real Betis.

This team failed to get promoted last season, and this season is in a worrisome situation. First, they wanted to sell Joaquin, but the asking price was too high and no one took over. Now they are also tempted by Cappi, but the price is also the most expensive. Without five million euros, it is estimated that there is no hope.

More importantly, Kapi, like De La Pena, is not a suitable candidate for the four position.

The former plays the attacking midfielder and can also take over Deco's position, while the latter plays Deco's position. In the early days of Van Gaal, he played the fourth position as a cameo, but his performance was average.

Harvey Alonso was injured suddenly, and Gao Han was a little confused. All he could think of for a while were these few players.

And it seems that Guardiola should be the most suitable candidate.

After all, the captain of Barcelona is not only superior in strength, but also in the golden period, and he is born in the fourth position, so he can use it when he comes.

But what is more troublesome is that Guardiola's annual salary is too high.

After Atlético de Madrid was relegated, apart from digging out the then La Liga Golden Boot Salva with a high salary, other signings were well controlled in terms of salary. Concessions were made on salary.

As for the newly rising players such as Villa, Torres, and Harvey Alonso, the salaries have been raised and the contracts have been renewed, but so far the annual salary is only more than one million euros. The high cold is still a little bit lower.

However, the salaries of old players such as Kiko and Aguilera are more than two million euros.

But compared with Guardiola, Atletico Madrid's salary is not enough.

Barcelona is rich and powerful, Guardiola is not only the captain of the team, but also the core of the soul, with an annual salary of up to five million euros, which Atlético Madrid cannot afford anyway.

However, he should not be short of money now, Gao Han thought with a wry smile.

It is not easy to persuade him to join Atletico Madrid, but also to make concessions in terms of salary.
