Super Marshal

South of Madrid, eastern suburbs of Fuenlabrada, Chinatown training center.

Thick curtains were drawn in the meeting room on the second floor. The club owner Gao Han, head coach Pochettino, general manager Armando Marcos, technical director Carlos Cantarello, and Sergio who accompanied Gao Han. ·Garcia, all sitting tightly watching the video of the game on the TV screen in front of them.

It was just two days ago in the sixth round of La Liga at the Aldevila Stadium, home of the Chinatown team. The opponent was Sevilla, who ranked third in the La Liga standings.

After experiencing three consecutive victories at the beginning of the league, Chinatown's performance began to decline. In the fourth round, they lost to Athletic Bilbao one to two, which directly caused Chinatown to fall out of the top four in La Liga, and then went two matches. Valladolid was defeated in World War II, and the ranking continued to decline, and the morale of the team was also affected.

This also directly led to the team's zero-to-four defeat to visiting Seville in the sixth round of the home game.

This fiasco shocked the entire Spanish football. It was at this time that everyone realized that Alpine is Alpine and Chinatown is a Chinatown team. The two are not of the same type at all.

Perhaps it’s because the Chinatown team has been upgraded in the past few years and won three consecutive games. Many people have the illusion that this is an alpine team and should continue their winning streak. As everyone knows, this is Pochettino. Team.

It can be said that this disastrous defeat not only shocked the Spanish football, but also greatly weakened the morale of the Chinatown team. The high cold in Manchester had to take advantage of the free time of the team's holiday to immediately fly to Madrid to deal with it personally. Things.

Judging from the video of the game, the opening Chinatown team did not play badly. The first 20 minutes played well with Sevilla, and they had a degree of advancement and retreat. But until the 20th minute, Sevilla used it once. The chance of a long shot in the midfield accidentally broke the goal of the Chinatown team and completely broke the deadlock on the field.

After losing the ball. The Chinatown team was eager to counterattack and acted too hastily. They made a mistake in the process of passing the ball. After being intercepted, they launched a counterattack. Capel drove to the left to assist Negredo with a close-range header.

In less than two minutes, he lost two goals in a row, which brought an extremely painful blow to the Chinatown team.

It can also be said that after losing the second goal, the Chinatown team was in a mess.

Judging from the game screen, Pochettino himself was a little anxious, did not maintain enough calmness, failed to stabilize the team's mood and position at the critical moment, protected his goal first, but was a little eager to score.

After being unable to attack for a long time, Sevilla launched the last attack in the last minute of the first half. The morale of the Chinatown team was a little low, and the defense was not focused enough. The opponent center Kanute grabbed the ball and scored again.

Entering the second half with a score of zero to three, Pochettino also fought hard, replacing two midfielders and two forwards, further increasing the offensive in the frontcourt and once beat Sevilla. He shrank and was extremely embarrassed.

What is terrible is that in the 54th minute, the defender Otamendi, who was eager to tie the score, pulled down the opposing player during a scramble, and was shown the second yellow card of the game by the referee, accumulating two. A red card ends.

At this point in the game, there was basically no suspense, and Pochettino had to change into a defender to stabilize his position.

But in more than eighty minutes, Sevilla still seized the opportunity and scored.

In the end, the Chinatown team ushered in the most tragic home defeat, and it was also the biggest defeat since the formation of the team, losing to Sevilla by four.

This fiasco hit the team very seriously, and Gao Han also attached great importance to it.

If you look at it from the perspective of the post-match resumption, the players have problems, and the head coach also has problems.

At the very least, when Pochettino lost his second goal, he did not stabilize the team that was in a mess in the first time, but wanted to continue to increase the offensive. This is a problem, and it is too obvious.

Sevilla knows this very well, so seize this direction to fight.

If it is high cold, then he will definitely choose to defend, stabilize his position, and patiently look for opportunities, so even if he can't win, at least he won't lose miserably.

This is a bit like a gambler at a gaming table. The most taboo is to gamble on red-eye and spare everything.

But the end of this is often worse.

Really powerful gamblers must know how to advance and retreat, they must know how to stop when they win, and they must know how to stop in time when they lose.

From the perspective of hindsight, Pochettino was also red-eyed and not calm enough.

The Argentine also seemed to be clearly aware of his problems, so after watching the game, he was a little ashamed. After all, this was the most tragic loss of the Chinatown team in history.

Looking at Pochettino's guilty expression, Gao Han chuckled and patted Pochettino's shoulder vigorously.

"Don't take it to your heart, Mauricio, if there is a win in the football field, there must be a loss. Who doesn't have the lesson of a disastrous defeat? The most important thing is not to live in the shadow of a disastrous defeat, but to learn from the defeat and improve oneself. ."

In the final analysis, Pochettino is also a fresh coach. This season is his first time coaching the top league, and his three-game winning streak will undoubtedly give him confidence and confidence, and maybe even his mentality is a bit swollen.

In addition, the Chinatown team is also the youngest team in La Liga this season with the youngest average age. The experience is still insufficient and they have not been able to adjust their mentality.

The next three games were unwinnable, especially the one in which he lost to Sevilla by 4 at home. It was undoubtedly a great deal, which made him suffer and learned a lesson. It may not be a bad thing to say.

The Argentine coach is a little ashamed and embarrassed. He was also very high-spirited during the three-game winning streak, but he did not expect that the team’s situation would take a turn for the worse, quickly falling from three-game winning streak to three non-winners, and even...

"Mr. Gao Han, I..."

As soon as Pochettino said what he said, he was interrupted by Gao Han's hand.

"If you want to apologize, you don't have to, and if you want to reflect, then after we are gone, you can reflect on yourself again, and you are the head coach of the team. I fully believe in any of your decisions and judgments."

Gao Han said in a very sincere tone that he hoped to help Pochettino regain his confidence.

The most important thing for a team on the court is confidence, and if even the coach himself does not have confidence, how to bring confidence to the players? How does the team form combat effectiveness?

"Mauricio, I told you that in front of you, I am the president of the club. I welcome you to communicate with me, but you don't need to apologize to me for the success or failure of a game, or reflect on it. No one is responsible for the loss, whether it is you or the player."

Alpine's statement made Pochettino very moved.

Because this means that the club will not have any reaction to this defeat, and everything ends here.

"If you lose, you will lose. No one can always win and be unbeaten. The most important thing is how to get out of the shadow of failure and how to draw lessons from failure. You have to know that sometimes a failure can teach us more. More and more precious wealth depends on whether you know how to own it."

Pochettino nodded heavily, he understood what Gao Han meant.

With a terrible defeat of zero to four, everyone is sad, including the coaching staff, including the players.

Therefore, it is not the time to pursue responsibility at all. The most important thing now is to take advantage of the national team's game time in these two weeks to restore the team's morale as soon as possible, restore the state as soon as possible, and prepare for the next league.

According to Gao Han’s estimation, if you want to relegation in La Liga this season, you can only lose at most 15 to 17 games, depending on the number of games the team wins. If you win more, you can lose 17 games. But if there are few wins, there can only be fifteen games at most.

If you look at the number of games won, you need to win at least ten games to be successful in relegation.

The Chinatown team now has three wins, one draw and two losses, ranking sixth in the league. This result is already considered good.

But the challenge is not small, that is, to get out of the shadow of disastrous defeat and continuous invincibility as soon as possible. This is a very terrible circle, like a curse, which will continue to corrode the players' minds, undermine the team's morale, and create a vicious circle.

Therefore, Gao Han said that the suspension of the league caused by the two-week national team game may not be a good thing for the Chinatown team.

"One more thing, I want to take this opportunity to study and study with you."

Gao Han looked at Armando Marcos, Carlos Cantarello, and Pochettino, and all three of them looked over attentively.

"The team's situation is not very good now, but I am still full of confidence in the relegation of the new season, and we all know that there are many outside teams salivating our players, we have to guard."

Gao Han's words have also been recognized by Armando Marcos.

"Yeah, Falcao has scored seven goals this season and performed very well. There have been some rumors outside. I also communicated with Jorge. He said that the team did know about Falcao from him. Case."

"Then we must pay attention." Gao Han said here, looking at Armando Marcos, "What is the current financial situation of the team?"

"It is still working well for the time being. There are still two sponsorships under discussion. If the negotiation is completed, the salary structure can be relaxed appropriately. UU reading www.uukanshu.com but..."

Gao Han understands what Armando Marcos meant. The Chinatown team has a weak foundation and cannot compete financially with some strong teams or even giants. Therefore, it is very difficult to retain some core players.

Especially sweet pastries like Falcao.

"Even if you want to sell people, at least you have to sell the backbone of our Chinatown team, so that all teams who are greedy for us know that the players of our Chinatown team can't come by anyone."

Speaking of this, Gao Han's eyes flashed with a sharp look, "Either you don't sell, or if you want to sell, you must make the other person vomit blood.

In the professional league, each other is a competitive relationship. Even if it is Atletico Madrid, there is a real need. It is not necessary to dig the corner of the Chinatown team to be merciful. What's more, it is not Atletico Madrid, but other teams.

Gao Han has never been afraid of digging corners. What he fears is that the cost of digging corners is too low.

Once everyone realizes that the cost of poaching the Chinatown team is too low, then this group of geniuses will soon be exhausted.

There is a saying that the tiger can't stand a pack of wolves, and the high-cold eyes are sharp, so how can they keep others from digging like this?

"Then start the contract renewal as soon as possible, to retain the players, and to boost the morale of the team." Gao Han made a decisive decision.

"It started with a few core players in the team, Falcao, Marcos Senna, Otamendi and De Gea."

After the management determined the main line, it immediately began to conduct specific research around how to renew the contract. Pochettino as the team's head coach and Cantarello as the technical director also participated in the discussion, and the discussion was very lively.

On the contrary, Sergio Garcia was left out in the cold, watching the news on the iPhone he just bought when he had nothing to do.

When he saw a piece of news from the United States, he was taken aback. For mobile phone users, please browse and read,
