On October 18, the first leg of the UEFA Cup second round knockout match.

Atletico Madrid challenged Legia Warsaw away.

This is the third game in a week. The previous two games were hard fighting against Vallecano and Vigo Celta. Atletico Madrid consumed a lot, so Gao Han rotated the lineup in this game.

Being able to participate in European competitions is enough to prove that Legia in Warsaw is not weak.

Although Atletico Madrid is the leader in La Liga, it is difficult to swallow the opponent in one go in a rotation lineup and play away.

The two sides tied a zero-to-zero draw in the first half, but in the second half, Torres made a sudden cold arrow in the frontcourt, causing the opponent's goalkeeper to miss, helping the team get a corner kick opportunity.

Dario Serner took the penalty calmly, and central defender Marchena beat his opponent in the penalty area, headed the ball, scored a winning goal for Atletico Madrid and maintained the 1-0 score until the end.

After the game, Marchena won unanimous praise from Atletico Madrid and was also recognized by the media and fans.

…………

On October 21, the ninth round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid is at home and welcomes the yellow submarine, Villarrel.

Gao Han once again launched a rotation lineup, with Villa, Torres and Kaka all playing in the frontcourt tridents.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid was the first to break Villarreal's goal.

After that, the two sides fought back and forth, and the bed sheet army firmly controlled the situation, but never scored again.

In the 59th minute of the second half, Kaka, Torres and Dario Serna formed a continuous cooperation on the right. Serna suddenly cut inside and passed the back point, and Villa scored the ball neatly, 2-0.

The nine-game winning streak broke the La Liga winning streak that had been covered by 30 years. For a time, Atletico Madrid attracted domestic Spanish media to report, and even some authoritative media in Europe were paying attention.

The Milan Sports Daily used a full page to report on Atletico Madrid's nine consecutive victories, and the Kickers Magazine also specially created a special topic for Atletico Madrid, which attracted huge response and attention.

Compared with ordinary fans who pay more attention to the excitement, in the Spanish professional football circle, the head coach of Atletico Madrid, Gao Han, is more interested in.

After playing the ninth round of the league, we ushered in a week's rest time.

According to the team's previous plan, after the game is played on Sunday night, a restorative training will be held the next day, Monday morning, and the players will also undergo a physical examination of the team.

Holidays are not started until Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning.

But when the players are on holiday, the coaching staff still has to continue working, especially Gao Han.

As the team's head coach, Gao Han has too many things to deal with, especially this season, in addition to the first-team affairs, he also has to take into account the second team and the youth training camp.

But what really made him feel a headache was a stack of letters on the desk in front of him.

"I think I'll just do nothing in the future and just sit in the office and write a reply."

Gao Han buried his head behind the desk, reading the letter while replying.

But on the sofa not far from him, the club general manager Hill Jr., vice chairman Cerrezzo, technical director Paul Foterre, chief scout Abel Resino, team leader Carlos Pena, and Tony Munos, who just retired this season and is currently serving as a fan service, plus Lopetegui and Gao Han, who came from the second team, and four right-hand assistants.

At this moment, these guys were sitting around the coffee table, soaking tea leaves specially brought from Gao Han from China, chatting and talking nonsense from time to time.

After hearing Gao Han's complaining words, Xiao Hill waved his hand with a smile, "Okay, don't behave well when you get cheap. You don't know how many head coaches want to be as popular as you."

“That’s it, that’s it.”

"I'm so envious!"

But look at this guy's laughter, how could he look a little envious?

"Gao Han, why don't I give you a secretary?" Paul Futrey asked with a smile.

But when Gao Han heard this, he was amused, "Okay, you have to be younger and more beautiful."

Hey, this guy takes it seriously.

"I said, do you really want to?" Paul Futrey looked like I lost to you. "Go and see, which head coach in the world has a secretary?"

But Gao Han was also very confident, "It is because there is no such thing that we seem special."

Uh...it seems to make a little sense.

But what is the matter of being young and beautiful?

Is it possible that you still plan to unspoken rules?

After everyone joking, this matter was no longer mentioned.

Although there are quite a few stacks of letters piled up in front of Gao Han, these are all screened by colleagues from the fan service department.

Generally speaking, ordinary letters are directly replied by colleagues from the fan service department. Those who can be sent to Gao Han basically need to confirm them himself.

Of course, occasionally, I would choose a few letters from domestic and foreign fans to let Gao Han respond to them personally.

If the head coach really wants to reply to every letter himself, then Gao Han really should not do anything.

"I saw several letters in succession saying that I wanted to study in the club."

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, Tony Munoz took over the conversation, "Yes, the team's playing style is very popular now, and the results are also good. There are indeed many people who hope to come to the team to study or visit."

Professional football, especially coaching, is a skill built up by practice and experience.

What many people see is just the short ninety minutes of the game, but for people in the circle or those who are interested in professional football, everything that happens on the training ground on weekdays is even more important.

"There is one here, what's the name... Unai Emery, who is only 30 years old and has a very average career, but he taught himself coaching courses during his football. He is now playing in Ferroy in the second division. He plays in the midfield. He hopes to have the opportunity to come to the team and study with the coaching staff for a while."

Gao Han remembers this team. Half a year ago, he competed with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Second Division.

According to this guy named Emery, he was sitting on the bench and watched Atletico Madrid beat Atletico Ferro, and loved Atletico Madrid's style of playing football.

"This is normal. Many people who are determined to engage in professional football for a long time will get their coaching certificates before retirement, and then start traveling and studying. Now Valencia's head coach Raphael Benitez does this."

Lopetegui also changed from a professional player to a youth team coach, and he was very touched by this.

Gao Han understood that for this type of person who has no prominent career, even if he becomes a coach, he has to start from the bottom.

"Then simply arrange a training camp during the winter break so that all those who are interested can come."

Gao Han himself has also encountered cold eyes and a wall-breaking encounter, so he is happy to give these people a chance.

As for how much they can learn in the few days they have been studying at Atletico Madrid, it depends on themselves.

Tony Munoz nodded immediately.

With Gao Han's words, he knew what to do in the future.

The fans' letters were very messy. In addition to Spain, there were many other people from China, and Gao Han could understand them.

The most troublesome thing was the letters from fans from other countries such as Germany, France, or Italy, which almost made him cry.

After finally finishing reading, Gao Han breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, how is the matter of poaching Sevilla going?" Gao Han left his desk and walked over.

Since meeting Reyes, Ramos, Navas and Puerta in Sevilla last season, each of which has amazing potential, Gao Han has left a deep impression since then.

But at that time, he had not finalized his relationship with Atletico Madrid, so he did not mention it.

Later, after renewing the contract with the team, he reconciled with Old Hill. Gao Han also felt the club's support for him with heart-to-heart. He was quite moved and had feelings for the team, so he naturally put the poaching in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, just because Atletico Madrid's full support for Chinatown, Gao Han should do his best to help Atletico Madrid pick up a few rookies and train them to become the reserve force of the Bedding Legion.

Who made Atletico Madrid poor?

More than a month ago, Gao Han mentioned it to Xiao Hill and Abel Resino during a chat, and they both kept their hearts. After all, they both trust Gao Han's vision very much.

But now, after hearing Gao Han’s question, Abel Resino sighed, “I’m a little unlucky.”

"Why?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

Sevilla gained a foothold by relying on youth training. It is a common time to buy and sell youth training players. As long as there is a team that can afford money, they will definitely be willing to sell them.

Hill also shook his head and said, "Before we contacted Sevilla, the 18-year-old has just sold a few players. As for the Reyes you named, he has started to gain a foothold in the first team this season and performed very well. We are too late to get out of here."

Reyes played as the left winger, but was originally promoted to the first team and did not intend to reuse it.

After all, this kid didn't even play in the Spanish Second Division last year.

Unexpectedly, Reyes has good strength and good luck, and he will be bright with some sunshine. He will perform better than the other. Now he has gained a foothold. If you want to buy him again, you won’t expect Sevilla to let go.

"Reyes became popular, causing the prices of Sevilla youth training players to rise!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hill also looked like he was regretting his original appearance.

If I had started earlier, Reyes would have been at Atletico Madrid now, and it would be another good deal with good quality and low price.

But from this matter, they also further believe in Gao Han's vision.

Too venomous!

You know, Reyes had never played a game before in the Spanish Second Division, but Gao Han was sure that this kid would become a talent. As a result, he became famous in the La Liga.

Given the current situation of Atletico Madrid, it is not appropriate to consider introducing Reyes.

Gao Han felt helpless, and Reyes was destined to miss the fate of Atletico Madrid.

But he soon remembered the other three, especially Ramos, who was most optimistic about him.
Chapter completed!
