Super Marshal

I don’t know since when, Gao Han has become one of their own in the eyes of Spanish fans. Every move he makes attracts the attention of the fans. No matter where he goes, he is sought after by the fans.

In early October, Gao Han returned to Madrid and attended a commercial event of the Chinatown team.

Mercedes-Benz, a luxury car brand from Germany, announced its sponsorship of the Chinatown team and held a massive car donation ceremony at the youth training center in Fuenlabrada, south of Madrid, attracting thousands of surrounding fans.

In addition to wanting to participate in this ceremony, their main purpose was to have a glimpse of Gao Han's elegance.

Although Gao Han is the owner of the Chinatown team, he rarely makes public appearances in the Chinatown team.

This time the sponsorship came relatively suddenly.

According to Armando Marcos, this sponsorship started a month ago. Mercedes-Benz contacted Mendes through an intermediary, and then negotiated with Armando Marcos. The two parties hit it off and quickly reached a consensus. .

According to Mercedes-Benz, they have been paying attention to the Chinatown team for a long time, and the final decision to sponsor was made after many considerations and a complete set of business operation plans, including a trip to Asia in Chinatown next summer.

"According to our business survey data, the Chinatown team has amazing commercial value in Asia, especially in areas where Chinese people gather, and its attention is not even inferior to that of the giant teams in Spain and even Europe. This is our final decision to sponsor reasons, and we believe we will be rewarded handsomely.”

In order to show the importance of this sponsorship, Mercedes-Benz even dispatched a senior executive at the vice president level to visit the scene in person. When asked by the media, he attached great importance to the future development prospects of the Chinatown team, especially in Asia. Influence.

Chinatown Team also spoke highly of this sponsorship cooperation. General Manager Armando Marcos even said that cooperation with Mercedes-Benz will greatly enhance the commercial value of Chinatown Team and will play a role in the future development of the team. to great advancement.

But when asked by media reporters about the team’s results this season, Armando Marcos said in a low-key manner that the management is satisfied with the team’s current results. As long as they can successfully avoid relegation in the Spanish Second Division this season, even if it is very Good results.

This low-key statement is obviously very different from the beginning of the season.

But the media reporters were not surprised at all.

So far this season, the La Liga League has played a total of six rounds. Chinatown has two wins, one draw and three losses, scoring seven points. It is currently ranked 17th in La Liga, only two points away from the relegation zone.

If you just look at this data, it really can't explain anything, because the league has just begun, and only one-seventh of the total 42 rounds of the league has been played. It is too early to make a judgment.

But if we look at the schedule, it is not difficult to guess the pessimism of the media.

In the first two rounds of the league, Pochettino's team won two consecutive victories and was once very prosperous. However, after the two rounds, it quickly ushered in two consecutive losses, especially a zero-to-one loss at home to a competitor for promotion places. Cordoba dealt a heavy blow to the team.

After that, they drew 3-3 away from Rayo Vallecano in the fifth round. The team suffered another heavy blow and dropped to 11th place.

What was really frustrating was the sixth round, when they lost 0-2 at home again, and their ranking dropped directly to seventeenth place.

Four rounds without a win does make people feel pessimistic about the Chinatown team's prospects, but more importantly is the problem highlighted behind it.

Upgrading every year is indeed a good thing, but rapid development can also cover up various problems in the team.

For example, vigorously promoting young players is a good thing. Even in the third level and other leagues, the Chinatown team has done this and achieved quite good results.

But the Young Guards obviously can't play in the Spanish Second League.

Gao Han coached the Segunda División back then, and he knew very well how fierce the competition in the Segunda División was. There was not much difference in the strength of each team, but there were only three promotion places and four relegation places. Every team was beaten to death.

Even a little carelessness can lead to a car crash and death.

In fact, the strength of many La Liga teams is no longer inferior to the lower reaches of La Liga, or even the mid-range teams.

In this case, the Chinatown team encountered the middle and lower reaches of the Spanish Second Division in the first two games, and was able to make a surprise attack. However, after encountering the upper and middle teams, the problem of the average age of the team became too high. Exposed.

"There is no doubt about the quality of the players, but the problem now is that we are too young and lack experience on the court, and it is easy for our opponents to take advantage of us and take advantage of our loopholes."

After the sponsorship signing and car donation ceremony, Gao Han held a meeting with Armando Marcos and head coach Pochettino to study the current situation the team was encountering and give his own opinions.

"I've watched the tapes of the team's six games so far this season, and I think our offense has no problems at all, based on the one against Rayo Vallecano."

In that game, the Chinatown team scored first. Falcao's goal helped the team take the lead in the 17th minute of the first half and maintained the score advantage into the second half.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Rayo Vallecano replaced two players in one breath and replaced them with the midfielder, strengthening the midfielder's pressure on the Chinatown team, causing the Chinatown team to There is an imbalance.

Jofre, who had just come on as a substitute, equalized the score for Rayo Vallecano in five minutes.

After that, the Chinatown team was in some confusion and was led by their opponents.

In the 75th minute, Sergio Pajun scored another goal for Rayo Vallecano.

But just two minutes later, Falcao's goal helped the Chinatown team equalize the score.

But in the 80th minute, it was Sergio Pajun's goal that helped Vallecano take the lead again.

Interestingly, Rayo Vallecano's lead only lasted two minutes, and Diego Costa's goal helped Chinatown equalize the score again.

In the end, the result of three to three allowed the Chinatown team to take away one point from the away game.

After scoring one point in the away game and facing Rayo Vallecano again, he should be satisfied, but Gao Han felt it was a pity.

The main reason was that in the second half of the first half, the team failed to convert its advantage into goals and played a bit too cautiously. At the beginning of the second half, it was disrupted by the opponent's attack and lost control of the game.

After the opponent scored a goal, the Chinatown team had a unified thinking and was able to get a goal back immediately. However, after the equalizer, the team was obviously a little confused and the thinking was not unified enough.

"On the defensive end, the central defender combination of Alderweireld and De Vrij is also worth looking forward to. Both of them performed well. Our current problem lies in the midfield." Gao Han bluntly pointed out the team The crux of the matter.

There is nothing wrong with Ramirez and Schneiderlin playing the main role as soon as they came to the team. However, Ramirez has just arrived and is only 21 years old. Schneiderlin is only 19 years old and is still relatively green and immature.

There is a saying that goes, whoever wins the midfield wins the world, and this is especially true in the Spanish league.

"I regret the team's current performance, Mr. Gao Han, and I am willing to take full responsibility for this." Pochettino stood up and said with shame.

If, before the season, he was still confident that he wanted to lead the Chinatown team to La Liga, then now, the cruel competition in La Liga has given him a wake-up call and made him realize clearly that he wants to coach. How difficult it is for a team to stand out from the second division.

From this point, it is not difficult to see how difficult it was for Gao Han to turn the tide at Atletico Madrid and lead the team to promotion to La Liga, and not just anyone can do it.

"Okay, Mauricio." Gao Han stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, "Now is not the time to hold people accountable. We are in the same boat and we have to work together. The first and most important task now is to solve the team's problems."

Having said this, Gao Han thought for a while, "I plan to introduce another midfielder during the winter break who can handle the situation."

A midfielder who can handle the situation?

Armando Marcos and Pochettino were both a bit surprised.

Obviously, the Chinatown team lacks such a number one figure in the midfield, but how can it be so easy to introduce such a player?

What's more, we still have to play in the Spanish Second Division.

But Gao Han seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, and he had obviously already chosen someone for this, so they couldn't say anything more.

Facts have proved that Gao Han's signings are still very reliable.

Falcao, Aubameyang, Diego Costa and other players are all outstanding and are shining in the Spanish Second Division.

But this has also brought some troubles to the team, that is, if they cannot be promoted this season, these players will probably be poached.

Gao Han didn't want to be the unlucky predecessor who planted trees for future generations, so he wanted to try his best to help the team return to La Liga.

This league has only played six rounds, so there is still a chance.

"Mauricio, the most important thing for you now is to stabilize the team. You must get the team's offense and defense into shape before the winter break. I will do my best to introduce you to a high-level midfielder during the winter break. When the time comes, we will try our best in the second half and let the doubters outside see how good we are."

Gao Han spoke proudly, and Pochettino and Armando Marcos were also very excited.

In fact, Gao Han didn't just talk, he had a very clear plan in his mind.

There are twenty-two teams in the Spanish Second Division, and there will be a total of forty-two league rounds. Sixteen rounds will be played before the Christmas winter break, and twenty-six rounds will be played after the winter break. In other words, as long as the Chinatown team is ahead If the results in the sixteenth round are not too bad, then when the transfer market opens during the winter break, Gao Han will introduce a midfielder to strengthen the team's strength, and there will still be time to counterattack in the second half.

"You have to remember, Mauricio, a season is very long. Before the end of June, no one can guarantee whether they will get an upgrade spot. It is only October, and it is not time to lose heart yet."

Gao Han looked at Pochettino and said seriously.

He really values ​​the Argentinian coach, so he immediately ran to Madrid as soon as he heard about the team's problems.

"Think about it, we are already 17th, can it get any worse? I definitely don't believe it. With the strength of our team, it's hard to say we can win the championship, but we definitely won't be ranked this bad, right? "

Pochettino nodded heavily. He knew the strength of the team he coached.

"So, don't be stressed, just relax. I absolutely believe you can do it."

Gao Han's encouragement made Pochettino very happy, because he really needs confidence now.

And Gao Han just gave him great confidence and confidence.

"Remember, Mauricio, before the winter break it's time to warm up, and after the winter break it's time for the team to work hard."

Pochettino exhaled heavily, smiled and nodded at Gao Han, his eyes becoming firm again.
