Chapter 166 Don't be in a hurry 【Seeking a monthly ticket】
As he said himself, Lopetegui soon took two assistants to Mahada Enda to take office.
As soon as he arrived, Cantalero returned to the first team, so Gao Han didn't have to do everything himself.
With time, Gao Han can also do some of his own things.
For example, learn to drive.
Regarding his driving school coach who claims to never train road killers and is known for his strictness, Gao Han finally used more than a dozen first-team players to successfully bribe him and make him more tolerant of himself.
He finally passed the road test and got his driver's license during normal times.
This also made Gao Han regain his confidence in driving. At least, he did not take the exam again, right?
However, many people, including Torres and even Paul Fotterre, were obviously not satisfied with this result, because in their opinion, with Gao Han's understanding of driving, it should be normal to have a few re-examinations at least.
Once you get a driver's license, you have to get more and accumulate more experience.
So, every afternoon, after get off work, Lin Xia and Chu Yao would drive to Mahada Enda, become Gao Han's coach, and accompany him to practice driving. The route would go from Mahadain to Rafenka, and supervise the renovation progress of the new house.
Rafenca is the most famous luxury community in Madrid, with a beautiful environment and beautiful scenery.
But most importantly, the security here is very good, which makes people feel very at ease.
The mansion bought by Gao Han was from the outside to the inside, and was written by a famous Spanish designer. It is in a modern style. It has two floors and a total of 1,700 square meters. It also has a basement of more than 400 square meters, six parking spaces, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, two living rooms, as well as a game house, gym, and an indoor swimming pool.
Not only is the luxury home located in a superior geographical location and complete supporting facilities, but even the surrounding neighbors are famous political and business celebrities in Madrid, including Real Madrid's Raul, Casillas, Zidane, Figo and other stars living in the surrounding area.
In Madrid, Kiko, Aguilera and others also live nearby, while Villa, Torres, Xavi Alonso and other players are also looking for a look in this area and planning to move in.
It is conceivable that this place will become more and more lively in the future.
After Gao Han bought the house, the decoration started quickly and the progress was very smooth. It is expected to be able to move in at the end of August and early September.
I come here every day and watch the house take shape bit by bit. The satisfaction in my heart is really indescribable, and I feel more and more anxious when I move in.
But it's also unhurried.
As he became more skilled in driving skills, Gao Han began to be dissatisfied with the suburbs and began to go into the city.
For example, when I went to the mall to check out furniture, electrical appliances, etc., I also ordered a mini during this period because Lin Xia didn't like SUV.
However, while busy with his own private affairs, Gao Han did not delay his work at all.
Just like before, he was the first to come to the sports city every day and the last to leave.
Although the training execution was handed over to the assistant, he had to host coaching team meetings every day to discuss the team's preparation progress and various situations that occurred during the preparation period.
When the assistants can rest, he still has to try his best to take time to communicate with his players one by one, to understand their specific views on the team and his requirements for them.
For example, Deco.
This Brazilian midfielder, who has obtained Portuguese nationality, played in the front midfielder during his time at Porto, but in the position given by Gao Han, his position needs to be retreated and played in the left midfield position.
In other words, in the 4312 formation, Deco, Javi Alonso and Marcos Senna form the three.
The position on the field has changed, and the responsibilities must be different, which requires Gao Han and Deke to communicate.
There are also double strikers Villa and Torres.
In the past, behind them was Ugo Leyal, who had strong last pass ability, but now he has become Kaka with excellent assault ability. Although the Brazilian also has good assist ability, his characteristics are obviously different.
This requires Gao Han to constantly communicate with the three players, understand some of their views, and then repeatedly discuss and study the offensive cooperation routines of the three players.
In addition, the team has joined two players, Yankulovsky and Dario Serner, in the new season.
The Czechs played in midfield in Napoli, but played in the national team as a defender. Gao Han also played in the left-back positioning of him, let alone Serner. Although he also played in the midfield, Gao Han brought in from the beginning with the right-back.
With these two players with strong offensive ability on the wing, Gao Han's 4312 tactics can also be executed, so he wants to integrate this set of tactics into shape as soon as possible during the preparation period.
This requires not only training, but also competition.
Two weeks after the team's training, Atletico Madrid finally ushered in its first warm-up match.
Considering that the team has just passed two weeks of high-intensity training and the players are generally in poor condition, the opponents in the warm-up match are not strong. They were played in the Spanish Second Division last season, located in Albacete near Madrid.
But as Gao Han expected before the game, away games and exhausted players made Atletico Madrid's warm-up match not ideal, and Gao Han did not use the skill card in the game.
Because the warm-up match is the most important thing to examine the team, the important thing is the process, not the result.
But in the end, Atletico Madrid took advantage of a set piece opportunity in the second half, Xavi Alonso assisted Carlos Marchena and headed the ball to Albacete's goal.
One to zero, Atletico Madrid narrowly won away.
This is obviously not a satisfactory score, especially the various problems exposed during the game.
Gao Han and the coaching team immediately organized the team to summarize and analyze the performance of the first warm-up match, and began to adjust the training program, focusing on improving the problems exposed in the game.
But in the second warm-up match, the team's opponent was Numancia, who was relegated from the bottom of La Liga last season.
Due to relegation, the team's main lineup fell apart and its strength was no longer as good as before. However, Atletico Madrid still struggled to win, and the 2-to-1 score was proof.
In two consecutive games, they were in poor form, and in the game, many problems were exposed on the offensive and defensive ends, which caused many media and fans to be worried.
After all, it is August, and there is not much time left before the Spanish Super Cup.
However, Gao Han said in an interview with the media that the warm-up match is about training the team. The more problems exposed, the better, because there is still a lot of time, which is enough for the coaching staff and the team to improve.
“I’m very happy with the team’s performance!”
Of course, his words soon attracted different opinions and even accusations.
Zambrano once again criticized Gao Han's preparations in his column, believing that after August, the team should be in shape, but Atletico Madrid's state is difficult to satisfy.
The Madrid local coach believes that this has a lot to do with Gao Han’s blind training for some time before.
Gao Han and Atletico Madrid did not respond to Zambrano's criticism.
In the third warm-up match, Atletico Madrid still went away, and his opponent was his old opponent Levante.
The opponent still took a stance of being strictly guarded. Atletico Madrid firmly occupied the advantage on the field, with a ball possession rate of up to 64%, but he never failed to break through Levante's goal.
Until the end of the game, Kaka forced a breakthrough in the middle, causing Levante's player to foul in the penalty area, winning a penalty for Atletico Madrid. In the end, Kaka took the penalty and finally took the penalty.
Still one to zero.
Three warm-up matches and three consecutive victories, but they all won very dangerously, and the team's performance was not satisfactory. The media even expressed their pessimistic views on Atletico Madrid's new season, believing that this team's strength has even declined a bit compared to last season.
Gao Han knew the reason himself and knew the reason.
If he simply wants to win, he can definitely win more easily by using the skill card in the game, but does this make sense? Will this help him to inspect the team and run in the team?
Therefore, Gao Han didn't care about the criticisms from the outside world at all.
He even thought that this might be a good thing for the upcoming Spanish Super Cup.
That is, on the day when the team returned to Madrid after the third warm-up match, Paul Footrey called to remind Gao Han to attend the pre-season party in the Spanish Professional League. Lin Xia saw the invitation and found a problem that Gao Han didn't notice at all.
…………
…………
“Usually, high-end events and parties will be marked with dress standards on invitations to remind guests to wear them.”
Lin Xia pointed to the notes on the invitation in front of Gao Han.
Dressing standard: semi-formal.
"What does it mean?" Gao Han didn't understand.
After receiving this invitation, he looked at the time and date and directly treated it as a waste product, and even almost used it to plaster the table. Who knows there is such information on it?
Lin Xia looked helpless as I knew it was, "Generally speaking, the dress standard is divided into three levels. The highest level is extremely formal and very high-level activities, so you have to wear tuxedoes that you often see on TV. Then go down and dress formally. The requirements are not as formal as extremely formal, but you usually have to wear small dresses."
Gao Han said oh, and then realized that there was such a kind of intent.
"What about semi-formal?"
"The semi-formal requirement is the lowest, but it is usually worn formal attire."
When Gao Han heard this, he couldn't help but remember that when Hulun Lopetegui came to interview that day, he was wearing a suit and tie. It turned out that this was the case.
But he immediately realized what his problem was.
Seeing his eyes, Lin Xia immediately nodded and smiled bitterly: "You don't even have a suit in your closet!"
Recently, she has come to help Gao Han clean up the house a lot, so she naturally has to organize her wardrobe, so she knows it clearly.
This is not surprising. Gao Han usually wears sportswear and casual clothes, so how can he have the chance to wear formal clothes?
Besides, he doesn't have this habit!
"Although it is not a very formal occasion, it is also a party. If you wear it too casually, it will definitely not work. A suit reflects a person's taste and identity. The quality of a suit depends on the tailoring, so generally speaking, higher-end suits are tailored and customized."
Gao Han smiled bitterly in his heart. He was going to attend the party tomorrow. Now he went to customize, where was it time to do it?
Or, just don't go.
Anyway, Gao Han doesn’t want to attend such parties, so it’s not interesting.
But when he thought of Sheng Yi's fist, Gao Han felt a headache.
You can't tell him that because you don't have a suit, you can't go?
That wouldn't the Portuguese laugh to death?
"Or, let's buy a ready-made set, your body is also good, so let's deal with it." Lin Xia suggested.
After Gao Han heard this, a light of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
"No, I have one."
