Super Marshal

On the afternoon of January 3rd, at the Vicarage Road Stadium in Watford, North West London.

Chelsea's first game of the year was the knockout round of the third round of the FA Cup. Their opponent was Watford, which is ranked 19th in League One. They played an away game. The game had gone on for 60 minutes and the score was 0-2.

According to international practice, the home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

Both of Chelsea's goals came in the first half, with Robin van Persie opening the scoring for the Blues just seven minutes into the game and Gudjohnson scoring another goal, Chelsea looked set to win.

In this game, the opponent's strength is not strong, and Gao Han intends to train troops, so he arranged all substitutes and a young lineup to play.

Messi once again appeared in the starting right winger position, Cesc Fabregas played midfielder, Pique played central defender, plus Van Persie, Glenn Johnson, Robert Huth and other players, Chelsea went to Watford with most of the youth lineup Germany.

But to Gao Han's satisfaction, Chelsea played quite well throughout the game.

The midfield three of Lampard, Fabregas and Parker helped the team firmly control the advantage of the scene, did not give Watford a chance, and also provided a steady stream of shells for the frontcourt. The Blues looked unstoppable.

But even so, the performance of some Chelsea players is still unsatisfactory.

Messi is still very sharp on the right, with excellent dribbling and breakthrough, but his passing awareness and timing still need to be strengthened. After all, he is only sixteen years old and lacks game experience. He needs to continue to improve.

And as the game progressed, Messi's love for dribbling was also noticed by the opponents, and they began to increase their marking on his side, and even their movements gradually increased. After all, the home team players were angry after falling behind by two goals.

On the contrary, the central defender Pique, who was not under much pressure from the press, was able to display his pass and control characteristics with ease. At the same time, he was also impeccable in defense.

Fabregas performed the worst among the three, because he was closely marked by the opponent, and he was facing a player named Paul Vernazza, who was 24 years old and had physical fitness at the age of 16. In front of Fabregas, it is simply crushing.

Moreover, this Watford midfielder is also the most active and the most active in the whole team.

This made Cesc Fabregas suffer throughout the game.

But Gao Han was on the sidelines, looking in a good mood, pointing to Vernazza, and asked strangely: "He really came from Arsenal's youth training? Would Wenger like such a player?"

Judging from the game, Vernazza's foot skills are relatively average. Although he can occasionally show a kick or two, it doesn't look like the type that Wenger admires. Moreover, he plays dirty and has a lot of small moves.

"It is true that he came from Arsenal's youth training, and was single-handedly selected by Wenger after coaching Arsenal."

Standing beside Gao Han, Cantarero gave a very positive answer.

"However, he has only played five times for Arsenal and scored one goal, but he was an important part of England's participation in the World Youth Championship in 1999, and was loaned to Ipswich Town and Park. In January 2001, Portsmouth transferred from Arsenal to Watford with a loan and buyout at a price of 350,000 pounds, and became the main force directly."

Gao Han understood a little bit, this is indeed a typical English youth training, and his work is relatively rough.

"I have been in the low-level leagues for many years, and my skills have not improved much. On the contrary, I have learned the faults of the low-level leagues."

After hearing this, Cantarero sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't? And it is estimated that in this game, he also wanted to prove his strength to everyone, so he performed very hard, even a little too much. La."

Emery replied indignantly, "Using the big to suppress the small, what's the point of bullying a child?"

It seems that he is complaining about his compatriot Cesc Fabregas.

Gao Han and Cantarero looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

It was indeed a big loss for Fabregas to meet him this time.

"Replace him." Emery suggested while the iron was hot.

He also knows that Gao Han is focusing on cultivating Cesc Fabregas, Messi and Pique, as well as players such as Van Persie, Robben and Joe Cole, and even Parker is valued by Gao Han.

These technical players are all catering to Gao Han's taste and in line with his philosophy.

Therefore, for Cesc Fabregas, there is really nothing to test, what is needed is cultivation.

"Replace him?" Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "I'm going to let him play the whole game."

"What?" Emery was a little surprised.

Let a sixteen-year-old boy fight head-on against a twenty-four-year-old brutal man, and kick the whole court?

Whether the performance is good or not is another matter, what if I get injured?

How many young players are full of talent, but it is because of injuries.

"For Cesc, there are not many opportunities for such exercise."

Emery obviously didn't understand, "Why?"

Gao Han looked at his assistant, and smiled again, "He is so smooth, whether it is family environment or personal growth, it is smooth sailing, which makes him look very calm and calm, with a look that is not in line with his peers. He is old and mature, but in fact his heart is rather weak, and he lacks the courage to stand alone."

Gao Han explained here, and Emery immediately understood Gao Han's intentions.

But anyone who can become a professional player basically has very solid basic skills. For professional players, such as Marseille maneuvers and oxtails, they are all at their fingertips, which is unmatched by amateur players.

Because each of them has gone through more than ten years of basic training.

Then, what really determines the level of a player's strength is the strength they show on the court.

In other words, how much a player can perform against a tight defense.

In this case, xinxing is particularly important.

It can even be said that the more top players, the more tenacious their hearts.

Among the three players brought out by Gao Han from Barcelona, ​​Pique is a bit soft, but young and energetic, with a newborn calf's momentum, so he is fearless on the court, and his performance is also open and closed, with ups and downs.

Influenced by his growth experience, Messi is the shortest and the thinnest of the three, but his heart is the most tenacious and courageous among the three, so on the court, he dares to take the ball head-on again and again Shock the opponent's defense.

Even when he was shoveled and knocked down, he would get up and continue to take the ball and continue to rush.

This reminds Emery of Atletico Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Gao Han said at the beginning that the future of this Portuguese kid is limitless. Even when the outside world criticized and accused the Portuguese of sticking to the ball, he defended him and even let his behavior on the court go.

Facts have proved that Gao Han has been very successful in shaping Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Portuguese's performance in Atletico Madrid this season has also improved steadily, which is quite outstanding.

Now it seems that Gao Han is also consciously cultivating Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Pique.

As for Cesc Fabregas, who is relatively weak in character, he adopts this method of using the enemy to hone his character in accordance with his aptitude, which varies from person to person.

This also made Emery feel admiration for Gao Han.

"Carlos, who is that African-American player over there?" Gao Han suddenly pointed to the court.

That was a right-sided player that Watford replaced in the second half. He was dark-skinned, very fast, and looked better than other teammates with the ball.

Cantarero thought for a while, "It seems to be Ashley Young, eighteen years old this year, who was recently promoted to the first team."

Gao Han snorted and stopped talking, but he had already paid attention to this player secretly.

The potential is as high as 175, and the speed is very fast. Such players are rare in England.

However, for the current Gao Han, the attractiveness of this player is still weaker.

Because his team has future top-level Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Pique.

He is very confident that as long as he is given another two years to polish, these three players will definitely become big players in the future, especially Messi, who will definitely become the best superstar in the world, and he will not lose to Ronaldinho at all .

The same goes for Cesc Fabregas.

Thinking of this, Gao Han took advantage of a dead ball on the field and quickly walked to the sidelines.

"Cesc, Leo, come here."

After hearing the shouts, the two teenagers immediately ran to the sidelines.

"Leo, when you get the ball, don't always go to the side, cut more inside, just like Ronaldinho did when he was on the left, take the ball, cut in, and when you have a chance Pass the ball, or hit the goal yourself."

Messi immediately nodded hurriedly.

He was so worried that the head coach was going to replace him, but it turned out that he wanted to remind him to adjust his duties on the field.

"And you, Cesc, be brave and take the initiative to get the ball."

Seeing the flicker in Cesc Fabregas' eyes, Gao Han understood the embarrassment in his heart, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and encouraged him: "Don't worry, don't put pressure on yourself, if you lose the ball, you will lose it. We can grab it quickly." Come back, you have to have faith in me, understand?"

Fabregas looked at Gao Han, then at his friend Messi, and finally looked back at Gao Han, nodded heavily, "Understood."

"That No. 4 is very sticky. If he pushes you again, you just pass him. I don't think you dare to dribble past others."

Fabregas heard this and looked up at the coach, "But...boss, I'm a midfielder."

"What's wrong with the midfield?" Gao Han smiled back and asked, "I let you play in the midfield, but I didn't let you be inferior. If you are sure, you will pass. If you lose the ball, you will get it back. If something goes wrong, I will bear it. What are you afraid of?"

When Gao Han said this, he pulled the two teenagers closer together, one in each hand.

"Let me tell you that I let you learn from other players to learn their strengths, but I never said that you should give up your strengths. It took more than ten years to learn it. What a pity to lose it, right? "

Both Messi and Cesc Fabregas laughed and agreed with the coach's words.

They are all only sixteen years old, and they are still in the naive stage. Which one doesn't want to be the most shining star on the court?

"You have to remember that no outstanding star can achieve success by learning from others. Everyone on the football field is unique. You have to learn from others, but you should be yourself, understand?"

"Understood." The two teenagers replied in unison.

"Go!"

Gao Han patted them on the shoulder, sent them back to the court, and at the same time entered the coaching system.

A five-star assault card, which acts on Messi, and a five-star defensive card for defender Pique.

But in the end, he gave Fabregas a five-star confrontation card.

For this Spanish teenager, Gao Han is quite satisfied with his skills, awareness, and passing.

But he felt that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the professional league, he had to strengthen the use of his body first.

By the way, torture that savage Vernazza to death!

But at this moment, Gao Han's smirking expression should not be too scary in the eyes of Cantarero, Emery and others.

Just like a black-bellied uncle who teaches bad children!
