Super Marshal

In the past few days, the weather in Moscow is gloomy and it is going to rain.

Gao Han took Lufthansa to Domodedovo International Airport and was picked up by a Manchester United driver.

Just two days ago, Bayern Munich had just returned to Munich from Manchester and was holding a championship parade. Gao Han received a call from Ferguson, inviting him to watch the football in Moscow, and the treatment was excellent.

Alpine's accommodation and various expenses in Moscow are all paid by Manchester United.

But for everything to go to the Palace of Three Treasures, Gao Han of course knows Ferguson's wishful thinking.

Coincidentally, Guardiola also called Gao Han and invited him to watch football in Moscow.

The former assistant's performance in coaching Barcelona this season is quite amazing. Although it is only the first season, he has won the league and cup championships in Spain. The Champions League has reached the finals and is expected to win the history of La Liga. Guardiola also became famous for his second triple crown.

The same is true for Manchester United.

Ferguson's team increased their strength this season after a lot of signings last summer. They defeated Rijkaard's Chelsea and won the Premier League title. At the same time, they reached the Champions League final and are expected to win the double crown.

Because both sides are league champions, they are also determined to win the Champions League and both attach great importance to them. This will take the initiative to call Gao Han, hoping that he can come to Moscow to watch the game and help out by the way.

One is an old friendship, a former disciple and assistant; the other is a year-end relationship, who has taken care of Alpine in previous years. Last year, he also made suggestions for Inter Milan's Champions League final. The palm is flesh, and the back of the hand is flesh.

Gao Han arrived in Moscow with this embarrassment and entanglement, and went to the hotel where Manchester United stayed.

Some red and yellow final posters continued to appear along the way. They spray-painted on the concrete pavement with oil paint and painted them into posters. There is one poster about one kilometer away, a bit like showing the way for the fans.

It is said that going forward along this poster channel of the Champions League final is the stadium of the Champions League final, Luzhniki Stadium under Sparrow Hills.

But the hotel where Manchester United stayed turned into the city halfway.

The roads in Moscow are not as powerful as those in the suburbs, but the flags with final posters printed along the way are endless, fluttering in the wind, always reminding every passing fan that the decisive battle is coming.

Since there had been media reporters and fans who had heard the news, they were waiting outside the hotel where Manchester United was staying, so the driver took Gao Han from another passage and entered the hotel directly, and did not get off the car until the entrance of the lobby.

When I heard that Gao Han came to visit the squad, all of Manchester United's players were very excited, all scrambling to greet them, especially players such as Van der Sar, Carrick, Matic and Pepe who were implicated in Gao Han.

The Dutch goalkeeper came to Manchester United from Chelsea last summer. As a result, he created an amazing record of not conceding a goal in the first season, and he managed to secure Manchester United's victory in the league and reach the Champions League final. His performance was quite eye-catching.

It is said that Abramovich almost vomited blood because of this, but because of this, he hated Alpine even more.

Because in his opinion, this is because Gao Han and the players he brought out are embarrassing him.

Otherwise, how to explain Veron's poor performance at Chelsea, but he shines at Inter Milan, and Van der Sar? Isn't there anything tricky in it?

Carrick is another player who Abramovich regrets. It was for him that the Chelsea management had a quarrel with Alpine, but this British midfielder proved it in Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. Own strength has regretted countless Chelsea fans and has become the eternal thorn in Abramovich's heart.

Not to mention Pepe and Matic. They were both recommended by Gao Han to Ferguson, but they all became the major champions of Manchester United's championship this season. It is logical that Abramovich blamed Gao Han for this.

On the contrary, this group of players admired Gao Han's attitude so much that many people even rushed to ask for autographs and group photos, saying that they would post them online to show fans.

After finally reaching Ferguson's door, all the players stopped temporarily, and the old man waved his hand to signal everyone to go back and prepare, what should they do, and the players scattered.

Ferguson treated Gao Han with great enthusiasm, and took out the precious wine he brought from the wine cellar of his Cheshire home. Looking at Gao Han’s wine that ruined him like a cow chewing a peony, he felt distressed. what.

But there is no way, who makes him ask for it?

"To be honest, he has been with you for so long, and you brought it out with one hand. Do you think, how should we play this game?" Ferguson asked straightforwardly.

Gao Han has known for a long time that this old man is not profitable and cannot afford to be early.

Taking out the good wine treasured at home is definitely to get more precious information.

Fortunately, he was also well prepared.

"Frankly speaking, if you really stick to your own style as you said at the pre-match press conference just now, then it will definitely be useless. You will not be able to keep up with Barcelona because of offense."

Guardiola’s team has gathered a group of very good scorers, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Messi, Henry, and midfielders such as Iniesta, Xavi and Deco. Manchester United can't play Barcelona in offense.

"Then you mean, Shou?"

Gao Han nodded, "It's mainly defensive and counterattack, but you can't defend it. You can grab a game at the beginning and don't ask for goals, but you must disrupt their rhythm, but the length of time depends on your team. The defensive grasp."

In the final analysis, the team belongs to Ferguson. There are many things that only Ferguson knows. As a bystander, Gao Han can only give his own reference opinions. As for how to use Ferguson, it is his own business.

"Actually, old Sir, to be honest, your offense is good, defense is good, very comprehensive, and well balanced. There are more options, not necessarily without the power of a battle." Gao Han reminded carefully.

Manchester United is indeed more balanced, but Barcelona has better possession and offensive abilities. You can't rush to play this kind of team, and you can't want to eat the opponent in one breath. That can only work in the Premier League. If you play Barcelona, ​​you will definitely die.

Ferguson looked hesitant, "My idea is to try to score a goal in the first half."

"Can you hold it?" Gao Han asked rhetorically.

Ferguson did not answer, obviously he was not sure in his heart.

"Think about it for yourself." Gao Han said.

Ferguson nodded, this kind of thing can only be the head coach himself to worry about.

…………

…………

In the Manchester United hotel, after soaking in the evening and having dinner with Ferguson, Gao Han asked the hotel to arrange a car and sent himself to the hotel where he was staying in Barcelona.

Fortunately, the distance between the two hotels is not far, and it takes less than ten minutes to arrive.

The Barcelona players, who were all resting, heard that Alpine was coming, and they all ran out to meet each other.

Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Messi, Deco, Pique... These are all Alpine's proud protégés, plus Alves, whom Alves valued, and coach Pep Guardiola. Alpine players later served as an assistant to Gao Han for two years, so that many people regard the current Barcelona as an Alpine team.

But only Gao Han knows that this team is still very different from him.

The biggest difference is that Guardiola is more concerned about ball possession. He is more like a person who sees ball possession as a lifeline. Although Gao Han attaches importance to pass control, he has a faster pace and is more inclined to attack quickly.

After meeting the players, greeted them, and encouraged them to continue their efforts tomorrow, Gao Han and Guardiola went to the cafe downstairs to have a drink.

Guardiola in front of him is obviously different from the new Barcelona coach who went to Madrid to ask questions a year ago. He is a little more confident and he has a kind of general attitude in strategizing. Gao Han also feels that when he sees it. I am very pleased, and I can't help but admire his performance in coaching Barcelona this season.

There is a chance to win the triple crown in the first season. Guardiola's coaching is almost like a plug-in. More importantly, the kind of football his team plays is very consistent with the traditional concept of Barcelona. .

Cruyff, Van Gaal, Alpine and Guardiola are considered to be in the same line.

"In fact, Barcelona has reached this point. You don't need to think about your opponents anymore. All you need to do is to stick to your football philosophy, stick to your own skills and tactics, and truly rely on me. ."

In this UEFA Champions League final, Barcelona's overall strength is dominant, coupled with the more mature tactical concept, so they can stick to themselves, but Ferguson's Manchester United can not, the Red Devils must adopt more targeted tactics. .

However, Gao Han always feels that Ferguson is very gambling, adventurous, and good at using oddities.

As a friend of both parties, Gao Han will definitely not favor either side, nor will he reveal to Ferguson or Guardiola what he has said with the other party, and the suggestions he gives are basically all that the other party must have seriously considered~ www.NovelMTL.com~ But the most talked about with Guardiola is not the final, but after the final.

"We Chinese have a saying, too rigid and easy to bend, rigidity and strength are sufficient, but lack of flexibility and flexibility is not good, just like the previous Juventus, and conversely, your situation is purely technical, heavy Skills, but not enough stiffness and hardness, I think this is where you need to strengthen next."

Speaking of this, Gao Han cited an example, “Look at AC Milan, the strength of this season has declined a lot, mainly because of the decline in ability, especially after the strong players such as Gattuso have weakened, the team’s The style is soft and it is easy to be bullied by opponents."

"Another typical example is Arsenal in the Premier League. The best Wenger team was the one that faced me back then. At that time, there were already hard players such as Vieira and Gilberto Silva. There are also delicate players such as Pires, Henry, Bergkamp and Ljungberg. They are both hard and soft. That is the pinnacle of Wenger's coaching. After that, it has been worse than one year."

Guardiola has always admired Gao Han's vision, and affirmed his judgment on ac Milan and Arsenal, and from this remark, he also saw Gao Han's reminder.

Barcelona needs to inject some hardness into themselves and make themselves stronger.

This is a bit like Gao Han in the Bayern Munich team, with both Schweinsteiger and Modric, as well as Van Bommel and Vidal, obviously because of this consideration.

Looking at the teams Alpine has coached, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Bayern Munich are the same.

This may be what he often talks about, the Chinese doctrine of the golden mean.
