Super Marshal

Bruce Buck, a well-known securities investment lawyer in the United States.

Before Abramovich acquired Chelsea, he was already the Russian Queen's investment adviser, and this time he acquired Chelsea, he also participated in the whole process, and dutifully safeguarded the interests of the employer.

After the acquisition was completed, he was appointed by Abramovich as the chairman of Chelsea.

But this is the first time he took over Chelsea for so long and appeared at the Harrington training ground.

From the moment he entered the simple door to the terrible training facilities around him, he couldn’t believe that this was the Chelsea’s training ground, and the Blues spent 200 million Euros this summer to build a team, but It is incredible to train in such a dilapidated abandoned warehouse.

Fortunately, he saw the high cold on the training ground, otherwise, he would suspect that he was on the wrong path.

Accompanying him is his secretary, Duff Bernard.

Team leader Mills has been waiting after receiving the notice and greeted him as soon as he saw the car.

After a while, they all looked at the training ground.

"This is the second training session?" Bruce Buck asked.

Mills shook his head, "No, three exercises a day is the physical reserve period. Now it has passed. The training intensity has been reduced. There are only two exercises a day. This is a training session in the morning and there is one more session in the afternoon."

"Oh." Bruce Buck finally understood a little bit.

As an American, if you talk to him about football, then he must be very good, but when it comes to football, he doesn't know much, but vaguely feels that Gao Han seems to be not very satisfied with the training situation.

Soon, Gao Han called a timeout and called everyone to his side again.

"Zlatan, I have said many times, don't stick to the ball, your task is to hold the ball and pass it out, not to show off your skills. You should know that we don't need this kind of show off."

"Also, Juan, you should be more brave. Do you understand what I mean? Although I didn't let you do this, you should take the initiative to make some brave decisions based on changes in the situation. I believe your decision, ok?"

"John, William, when Crowder presses up, you must also follow up. The two full-backs should be placed in the front. Pay attention to help defend our two ribs, understand?"

"Understood." The players replied in unison.

Gao Han looked at Ibrahimović deeply. The 21-year-old Swedish center was unruly and rebellious by nature, and he seemed a little unconvinced. He couldn't help but smile.

"John, William, you now switch to the yellow team."

"All the players of the yellow team are listening. I give you a privilege. As long as Ibrahimovic gets the ball, you can do whatever you want, or even kick him. As long as it is not a dangerous move, I will not blow. Penalties for fouls."

"The same goes for the red team. Arjan Robben takes the ball and they can do whatever they want."

Not to mention that all the players on the court had their eyes broken, even Mills on the sidelines and even Bruce Buck, the outsider, were stunned. Is that okay?

"Boss, how can there be such a thing?"

"It's not fair!"

Both Ibrahimovic and Robben protested in unison.

But Gao Han joked at them, "Then you don't give them a chance."

The two of them suddenly had their faces covered with dark clouds, and then looked at the group of ill-intentioned teammates beside them, and they knew what they were thinking without even thinking.

Sure enough, after the two teams resumed training, both Ibrahimovic and Robben received special care, especially Ibrahimovic, under the joint care of two central defenders Terry and Gallas. , The Swedish center has almost suffered.

The habit of kicking always made him want to play with two hands as soon as he got the ball, but as a result, Terry and Gallas quickly lit up the soles of their feet, shoveling others on their backs, and even kicked them several times.

Not only did the two central defenders do it, but other players wanted to do it when they took the opportunity.

This immediately made Ibrahimovic feel a headache.

However, the Swedish center is also a very strong temperament, and he refused to admit defeat. He just played tit-for-tat against each other, which really gave him a few beautiful performances and won a lot of applause.

Even Gao Han had to nod and smile wryly on the sidelines, "If this kid can practice, it will definitely be very scary."

With the body of the top high center, but with the subtle skills that are not inferior to the short players, Ibrahimovic is simply synonymous with the perfect center.

But now his biggest problem lies in his personality and his playing characteristics, which needs to be improved.

"Carlos, look for a chance to practice his shooting. I heard that when he was at Ajax, he learned half of his skills with Van Basten and couldn't give up halfway." Gao Han said.

This perfect center has no outstanding shooting ability, how can he do it?

Cantarello was a little worried, "Will he have an opinion?"

"Opinion?" Gao Han shook his head and laughed. "I told him when I was in Holland that he still needs some hardships if he wants to be a top center. He also said that he is not afraid of hardship. Now is the time for him to prove. If this little bitterness is not enough, then he won't be able to make a climate at all."

Cantarello thinks it makes sense.

It is easy for many people to think that top professional players rely on talent, but in fact they are not.

It is hard work!

The European professional leagues have gathered the world’s most outstanding talents. There is an endless stream of talented players, but few can succeed. Even every league and every season there will be a group of young rookies, but in the end they can continue to succeed. , Often numbered.

The bottom line is that for professional players to succeed, talent alone is not enough. They have to be diligent and able to endure hardships.

What Gao Han is doing now is that it is relatively stricter, and has higher requirements on Ibrahimovic. If this is unbearable, then in the Premier League, the opponent’s difficulties will be ten times, or even a hundred times, harder than it is now. .

Now in the team training, the players still have some scruples, but when they are on the court, the opponent really wants to take you off the court.

Therefore, Gao Han was right when he said that.

From the training ground, although Ibrahimovic is very angry, it seems that he is even more unconvinced.

This is a good sign.

After a 90-minute training session, everyone was exhausted, especially Ibrahimović and Robben, who often suffered from black feet, and their socks and jerseys were covered with grass chips and dirt, very embarrassed.

Captain Terry also knows how to behave. Just now he has black feet on the training ground. Now after the training is over, he took the initiative to introduce Ibrahimovic and Robben to the healing tips. The two are about the same age, but they seem to have some in common. topic.

Gao Han noticed Bruce Buck on the sidelines, and after bidding farewell to the players, he walked out.

"It was a wonderful and intense training." Bruce Buck smiled and greeted him.

"Thank you." Gao Han nodded and thanked.

The two walked side by side to the side of the road, and the secretary Duff Bernard was a little behind them and didn't interrupt them.

"The boss called me. We must apologize to you about Trevor Boch. I promise that the same thing will never happen again."

Trevor Boch bombarded Makelele’s transfer and was somewhat suspected of transferring contradictions. This was his personal decision, and the management did not participate and authorize it. Gao Han is also very clear about this.

Therefore, when the incident happened, he did not ask the management, on the contrary, Bruce Barker and others were shocked, especially Abramovich personally called to ask, which made them panic. .

Alpine is undoubtedly the most powerful one at Chelsea.

Moreover, the operation of many departments of the club is deeply influenced by him, and he is even the leader.

This is also related to the chaotic management of the club since the acquisition.

Abramovich invested 200 million euros in the team, and Gao Han is the core figure among them. The management naturally dare not care about it, so Bruce Buck was ordered to come and explain and appease himself.

"Treyfu Boch's contract is very troublesome. There are several other senior executives in the same situation. We are also discussing solutions with them, and I believe we will have an answer soon." Bruce Buck looked very troubled.

The acquisition is only the beginning, and the subsequent reorganization and integration is the problem.

"I understand that you can handle the Stamford Bridge matters with confidence, and there will be no problems on Harrington's side." Gao Han said confidently.

"Well, with your words, I'm relieved."

With the deepening of pre-season training, Chelsea began to usher in the warm-up match.

Alpine has arranged a total of six warm-up matches this time, and out of the requirements of the running team, five of the six warm-up matches are from England's low-level league teams, and one is from the Celtics from Scotland. .

As the team with the largest signings in the summer transfer market, with a total investment of 200 million euros, Chelsea's every move has attracted the attention of the British and European media.

Fans all over the world are also eagerly looking forward to it. I don't know what Gao Han can make this 200 million army.

In fact, Chelsea’s debut really attracted attention.

Four to zero, the Blues won an away game against a third-level team that even Alpine couldn't even be named.

Throughout the game, the Blues firmly suppressed their opponents, and the rudiments of the transmission and control system were also looming. The offensives were also unique and the methods were very rich, which made the Blues fans very addicted.

However, Gao Han publicly criticized the players' performance at the internal summary meeting after the game, expressing his dissatisfaction with the game process.

After just three days, the team played another game, this time it was a one-to-zero win.

What's interesting is that the external media and fans are generally not satisfied with the team's performance ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ thinks the team did not really play the level, but Gao Han said that he was very satisfied at the summary meeting.

"Although we have not been able to create a threatening offense, we have done a pretty good job of suppressing opponents and passing the ball."

After a while, Chelsea played three consecutive warm-up matches, both good and bad, and their performance was fluctuating.

Until the sixth game, Chelsea finally ushered in a real opponent, the Celtics.

But as a result, Chelsea lost the ball in the first half, and after a desperate counterattack in the second half, they finally relied on Ronaldinho and Terry's corner kicks to grab points and reversed the opponent two to one.

If the previous warm-up matches were acceptable, then the attitude of the coaching staff, the media and the fans was very consistent.

bad!

Even Gao Han and the coaching staff have gradually become aware of a fatal problem that they have overlooked in the past month or so.

That is... (To be continued.)
