Super Marshal

From warm Madrid to humid Manchester, Harvey Alonso felt very uncomfortable.

But he believes that, slowly, he will get used to it.

Just like when he traveled south from San Sebastian in northern Spain to Madrid.

He has always felt that he is a very adaptable person, and he feels a little at ease.

Manchester City has long-term leased a luxurious suite at the Radisson Edward Hotel for all newly joined foreign aid, just below the presidential suite of the head coach Gao Han, and they are all starting to look for a house.

He, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Silva, Peter Cech, Kaka and Harvey Martinez, they have all made an appointment and plan to find a house in the Golden Triangle area of ​​Cheshire and live near the alpine .

This is not to say that they have to flatter the head coach, but that the area is really good.

Otherwise, how could Manchester United's Ferguson and the stars live there?

Paul Futre has arranged a special person to contact them. Harvey Alonso's requirements are simple, relaxed and comfortable. He likes to read books, so he must have a large study room, preferably a sun room.

Manchester belongs to the kind of rainy and humid weather. Sunlight is a scarce resource. There is such a sun room that will not be wasted.

To be honest, for Manchester, for the Premier League, he feels very strange, but he is not afraid at all.

Head coach Gao Han has given him unprecedented confidence. At the same time, he is particularly excited to be able to compete with superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka.

Gao Han once told him that playing at Manchester City would be more challenging than at Atletico Madrid.

He is eager to accept such a challenge.

In his view, life is more meaningful if you continue to accept challenges.

…………

…………

Gao Han had just boiled the water and made tea. When he was immersed in the comfortable atmosphere when the fragrance of tea filled the office, Harvey Alonso stood outside and knocked on the door.

It was Gao Han who called him last night to get him to the office earlier.

"Come in." Gao Han opened his eyes lazily and looked out the door with a smile.

As soon as Harvey Alonso entered the door, he immediately smelled the scent of tea and grinned.

"Boss, this habit has not changed for several years."

He still remembers that as early as at Atletico Madrid, Gao Han was like now. He had to have a pot of tea every morning. According to him, if he didn't drink this tea, he would not be energetic all day, and his whole body would feel uncomfortable.

"It's changed early." Gao Han smiled and pointed to the sofa next to him, and asked him to sit down. "This taste is getting more and more sloppy, and the tea is getting more and more expensive. If this continues, sooner or later you will have to drink and go bankrupt.

Harvey Alonso certainly knows that the boss is joking, "Boss, if you want to drink bankruptcy, your stomach must at least be the Pacific."

Alpine was amused instantly.

He likes Harvey Alonso very much. He is diligent on the court and has great execution ability. He understands the coach’s intentions very quickly. He also has a strong ability to understand the game. What is even more rare is that he is also outside the court. What a young literary and artistic youth likes to do most is to read books leisurely.

He doesn't smoke, drink, or gambling, and he has almost nothing wrong with him.

For many players, the discipline of professional players is a restriction, which makes them very uncomfortable, but for Harvey Alonso, it is very happy, even he wished people all over the world would be like this.

Gao Han looked at Harvey Alonso with a smile, and the Spaniard found it strange and uncomfortable.

"I asked you to come here earlier this time because there is something I want to tell you."

"Boss, just say something if you have something." Harvey Alonso has the boldness and loyalty of a Basque in his blood.

"The team has just been reorganized and it's a waste of time. I can handle many things, and even I can call the shots for you, but there is one thing I have to ask your opinion first."

Seeing Gao Han's so seriousness, Harvey Alonso was also serious, "What's the matter?"

"Richard Dunn has been the captain of Manchester City for three years. He has always been the backbone of the defense, but I am afraid it will be difficult to play in the new season. Therefore, we need a new captain."

After hearing this, Harvey Alonso suddenly realized, "I think among the players left by Manchester City, whether it is Kompany or Sturridge, are still relatively young and immature, not enough, and Sabaletta and Bridge are more senior. Shallow, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate."

"We think so too." Gao Han nodded.

Kompany is a player he is very optimistic about. He has been interested in him since he coached Bayern Munich, but he has always felt that this Belgian midfielder is not suitable for playing as a midfielder and should be withdrawn. , In order to maximize the strengths and avoid the weaknesses.

The Belgian became famous as a teenager, with the vigor and energy of a young man, but it was a pity that he was too young to hold back the scene.

"Kaka can hold the scene, but the others are so nice, he doesn't like to fight with others, I am afraid he is not suitable to be the captain."

"That's right." Gao Han smiled.

Kaka has a good personality and treats others kindly. This is his advantage. But if you are the captain of a team, it is not bad to be kind to others, but the key is that often the captain has to do something that offends people. The card does not work.

And at the critical moment, Kaka lacks a domineering, difficult to drive teammates.

"I think Cristiano would be a very good candidate." Xavi Alonso suggested.

As a world footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo has enough qualifications and cards. Although he is a newcomer, he can definitely hold the scene and control the locker room. I believe that if he is chosen, all other players will be convinced.

But the crux of the problem is that Gao Han has concerns about Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese was brought out by him, and Gao Han asked himself to know him better than any coach.

There is no doubt that he is full of domineering, very courageous, and very strong to win. These qualities are fully reflected in him, and he is very good at interacting with teammates, is outgoing, and is very self-disciplined in his life.

It can be said that he will be a very good captain.

But his character is easy to become impatient, too greedy, and somewhat individualistic. If he is just the number one superstar in the team, of course it doesn’t matter. The captain can also check and balance him, but if he becomes the captain, who can Check him?

Therefore, Gao Han believes that Cristiano Ronaldo will be a very good captain, but certainly not now, because he is not mature enough.

Gao Han stayed silent, and Harvey Alonso knew that he was not right, and smiled bitterly.

"Boss, you can choose a few people directly."

Choosing a captain is difficult, especially since the perspective of the players is different from that of the head coach. It is difficult to say.

Gao Han waited for his words and smiled, "I have only one candidate."

"There is only one?" Harvey Alonso was a little surprised, especially when he saw Gao Han staring at him with a smile, as if Wolf is staring at Pleasant Goat. An ominous premonition surged in his heart, pointing to Gao Han, " you……"

"Yes, it's you."

"No." Harvey Alonso objected without thinking, "I can't."

"why not?"

"I'm not fit to be the captain."

"I haven't tried it, how do I know it's not suitable?"

"You don't have to try to know that I can't."

"You can't say no if you are a man."

Harvey Alonso was directly forced to the corner. He himself knew very well that the captain's life seemed brilliant, but in fact he was responsible for a lot of troubles. Isn't this just making trouble for himself?

"Boss, to be honest, how do you think I can be the captain?" The Spaniard asked with a wry smile.

He didn't even swear to the boss, and he didn't show the slightest intention of being a captain. How could the boss think he was competent?

Gao Han laughed and nodded: "Yes, many of them are very strange about my choice. Even Sergio Garcia joked, did I take your money."

Harvey Alonso smiled bitterly, the conscience of heaven and earth, he absolutely did not bribe.

"There are several main reasons why I chose this way."

"First, you are the team’s late organizer. In the current team environment, you are the most able to understand and appreciate my tactical intentions, and this is what I need the team captain to do. To be the head coach of the team on the court."

Harvey Alonso nodded, "But Modric is fine too."

"That's right." Gao Han nodded, and Modric is indeed okay. "But the second point is that I need someone who can communicate well with the superstars in the team, and who can check and balance them at critical moments and make them obey. This Modric can't do it at all."

Harvey Alonso thought for a while and had to nod regretfully.

On the second point of Alpine, there are only a handful of players in the Manchester City team that can do it.

Not to mention other players, just the two superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka are uncomfortable enough. Many players in the team don't talk about checking and balancing them. It is difficult to be equal with them.

To say that they can check and balance the two of them, both Xavi Alonso and Peter Cech can. The reason is simple. They were both brought out by Alpine at Atletico Madrid. This acquaintance was established in the last days. The friendship is often especially deep.

And in that Atletico Madrid that year, the qualifications of both of them were higher than Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, but they benefited from being a frontcourt offensive player, so they are now more famous.

Among the two, Harvey Alonso is the best candidate to meet the first and second conditions.

"But... Boss, my character... is not suitable." The Spaniard immediately groaned.

He really didn't want to be the captain, it was too much trouble.

"Your character?" Gao Han nodded. "After listening to my first two requests, many people also feel that your character is too gentle and peaceful, not suitable for being a captain, but I feel that all of them are by you. I was cheated."

Harvey Alonso almost didn't cry, who did I lie to me?

"In your blood, there is a force of reluctance. You look weak, but you are actually very strong. You seem lazy, but you are more reliable than anyone at critical moments. Your sense of responsibility and daring to assume Enthusiasm is enough to make you qualified for this captain."

After Harvey Alonso heard these words, he didn't know why, suddenly there was an urge to cry with sore nose.

He found that ~www.NovelMTL.com~ It turned out that Gao Han knew him so well, better than anyone, and perhaps even better than himself.

Gao Han looked at Harvey Alonso's expression and knew that he was poking his mind. This was a tough guy who was soft on the outside and tough on the inside.

"Trust me, Harvey, this captain is none other than you."

When it comes to this, Harvey Alonso knows that he is the captain.

Since you can't push it off, let's do it!

And his character is that he either doesn't do it, or he must do it best, so he immediately started to talk to Gao Han about some things that need attention when he is a captain.

Until Sergio Garcia suddenly knocked on the door of Gao Han's office, he rushed in anxiously and handed Gao Han a piece of material in sweat.

"Big problem, you hurry up and take a look."
