Chapter 348 Immortal Monument
Returning to Madrid from Manchester, the bed sheet army was warmly welcomed by the entire city and even the whole country of Spain.
The Champions League championships for two consecutive seasons have fallen into the hands of La Liga teams and in Madrid, which is a great honor for Spain and Madrid.
Fanatic fans spontaneously organized a grand welcome event at the airport. At the same time, the club also arranged a bus without a penthouse, carrying all the players from the club, starting from the airport, parading around the city southward.
At the Poseidon Square, which was celebrated in Atletico Madrid's traditional celebration, was even more crowded by Atletico Madrid fans who came to hear the news, almost paralyzing the traffic of the entire city.
After a traditional championship celebration was held in the Poseidon Square, the parade slowly moved south to Atletico Madrid's home court Calderon, and another celebration was held here.
And this time, they don't know when it will last.
At least, they will definitely not leave until midnight.
In addition to Atletico Madrid fans, there were also media reporters from all over the world, and even Spanish TV stations broadcast live, which caused a great response.
In addition, the team won the Champions League for the first time, all of which will inevitably benefit Atletico Madrid in the next few years.
Even as long as the club seizes the opportunity and operates pragmatically, it is very likely that the team's foundation for the giants will be laid in one fell swoop.
But behind this booming scene, every step of Atletico Madrid is like walking on thin ice.

"Last night, at Old Trafford, we had a private chat with Galliani."
In the office of the general manager of Calderon Stadium, the three giants including Xiao Hill and Gao Han sat around the coffee table, and their expressions did not look relaxed, and it could even be said to be a bit serious.
"Frankly, the price they offer is quite attractive, and the annual salary they give is something we cannot give, so if there is no accident, Kaka will likely transfer to AC Milan."
Gao Han was not surprised by the news that Xiao Hill said.
AC Milan has been paying attention to Kaka for a long time, and even almost left the team last summer.
In Ancelotti's style of play, Seedorf, Rivaldo and Rui Costa are not suitable for the midfielder position because they cannot provide the team with a slow to fast advancement.
But Kaka can, and his quick dribbling breakthrough in the middle of the midfield will make AC Milan's offense more threatening.
It is completely conceivable that with Kaka, AC Milan's defensive counterattack will be even more like a fish in water.
This deal is much more cost-effective than buying Rivaldo and Rui Costa.
Of course, the Kaka is not cheap now, and there is no amazing high price, so don’t expect to take him away.
This is also the reason why Atletico Madrid cannot refuse.
Selling the Kaka and getting some money back can retain the existing group of players and maximize the competitiveness of the team.
This is the most pragmatic business strategy for Atletico Madrid.
It can even be imagined that next we will focus on cultivating players such as Cristiano Ronaldo. Once they get up, Atletico Madrid will inevitably further promote metabolism.
The whole process will take several years, but once it is successful, Atletico Madrid will establish its status as a wealthy family.
"Gao Han, have you really decided?" Cerrezo asked solemnly.
Gao Han looked at the three immediate bosses in front of him and smiled slightly, "Well, I think it will be difficult for me to help the team again, so I decided to leave."
The three giants were not surprised by Gao Han's choice, because they had a premonition when Gao Han suspended the contract renewal.
This team was created by Gao Han himself. Now that it has reached its peak, it will definitely be split next. It is indeed a bit uncomfortable for him, but this is professional football.
"Have you thought about where to go next?" Xiao Hill asked with concern.
Gao Han shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet. After the game the day after tomorrow, I will say goodbye to the team, then go back to China for a vacation, have a good rest, and then decide later."
After a pause, Gao Han promised: "But, I will definitely not stay in La Liga."
"We didn't mean that..." Xiao Hill was afraid that Gao Han would misunderstand.
With a talent like Gao Han and so young, he may be at a critical moment in the future. Atletico Madrid will be in crisis again. At that time, he can be invited to coach again. Who dares to offend him?
"I know, Michelle, but I really can't be able to fight the team I brought out with me."
After hearing this, the three of them admired and breathed a sigh of relief.
They read that rightly, Gao Han is indeed a person who values feelings.
"Then...who do you think is suitable for taking over the team?" Cerrezzo asked again.
Hill and Paul Futree also looked at Gao Han together, waiting for his answer.
"Although the team has reached its peak now, many players still have potential to tap, and a group of young players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Gabi, Dario Serner, David Silva, Ramos need to grow, so I think this coach must be good at cultivating young players."
The three giants also agreed with Gao Han’s analysis.
This is very consistent with their previous judgment.
"The team's playing style in the past three years has been very clear, with a fast-paced overall offense and defense based on skillful passes and controls, and must be familiar with La Liga, so I think there are two most suitable candidates."
As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, Xiao Hill immediately chased after him: "Let me tell me quickly."
"One is an old acquaintance, and you are all very familiar with Luis Aragones. He knows my playing style very well, and he is also familiar with La Liga and Atletico Madrid. I think he can continue this playing style very well and even further develop it."
After hearing this, Hill frowned, "But I received the news that he might be more interested in the position of head coach of the Spanish national team."
Gao Han had also heard of this news, and he even heard that the Spanish Football Association intended to invite him as a technical consultant, but in fact, no one had ever contacted him.
The current Spanish national team coach Seth is completely inconsistent with his philosophy, so he didn't take it seriously.
"There is another German head coach Heinx of Athletic Bilbao."
"Is it him?" Xiao Hill and the other two were a little surprised.
If Heinx coaches Athletic Bilbao, his grades can only be considered as average and his playing style, and he cannot say how good he is, but he has a good relationship with Gao Han, which is known to all Spanish football players.
Gao Han also understood that it is easy to cause misunderstanding to recommend Heinx like this, but he really felt that Heinx was very suitable for Atletico Madrid because he knew his friends very well.
"Believe me, besides Aragones, I think Heinquez is the most suitable coach for Atletico Madrid. Although he has not been able to achieve further glory in the past many years, and I cannot even guarantee that his skills at Atletico Madrid cannot succeed, he has the strength to continue and improve this style of Atletico Madrid."
Xiao Hill and the other two rarely heard Gao Han say something so serious, and they also understood Gao Han's character. They no longer doubted anything else in their hearts. They all believed that Gao Han recommended Heinx for professional judgment.
As for whether to invite Heinx, they still need to discuss it.
But there is one thing they can be very sure of, that is, no matter who it is, it is difficult to reproduce the brilliant achievements that Gao Han has achieved in the past two years of coaching.
He will become an insurmountable monument in Atletico Madrid's history.

…………
Atletico Madrid took away the St. Berede Cup from Manchester, which caused a huge response around the world.
But on the third day after returning to Spain, Atletico Madrid ushered in its final round of La Liga.
In the end, the Bedding Army defeated its opponent three-to-zero away without any danger with a half-main and half-substitute lineup.
The La Liga ended with a complete victory for two consecutive seasons, won the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, completing the unprecedented triple-champion in La Liga. Gao Han's team shocked the whole world and attracted the pursuit of fans all over the world.
Especially head coach Gao Han, who relied on his confession in the Champions League final, made him a favorite of media and sponsors around the world, and his business value is no less than that of the top superstar.
But just after the team won the triple-winning championship, Atletico Madrid soon officially announced that the team failed to renew the contract with head coach Gao Han, and the Chinese coach who led the Bedding Army to the top will not continue to coach the team in the new season.
At the press conference, Hill even moved to the point that everyone in the team will always remember Gao Han’s contribution to Atletico Madrid. No matter what the future holds, Atletico Madrid will always open its doors and welcome Gao Han’s return.
Gao Han also announced through his agent Jorge Mendes that there is no problem with the management of Atletico Madrid. The reason why he will not renew his contract is because he feels it will be difficult for him to bring about any changes to the team.
This news also quickly ignited the world football world. The media generally had no controversy over the reason why Gao Han left Atletico Madrid. They all believed that this was a very wise choice to retreat.
But the whereabouts of Gao Han’s next season are still confusing.
Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Barcelona, and even Real Madrid have all been involved in contact with Gao Han, but there is no follow-up.
But unlike Gao Han, Atletico Madrid has shown amazing efficiency in selecting coaches.
A week after the season, the management of the Bedding Army announced that it had successfully invited Athletic Bilbao head coach Heinx to take over Calderon.
The management and Heinx both thanked Gao Han for his recommendation at the press conference. At the same time, Heinx also said that taking over Atletico Madrid is a big challenge at this time, but he is confident that he can do it well.
"Gao Han left me a great team, he is one of my best friends, we had a deep conversation about it, I think I can help Atletico Madrid, and at the same time, I am happy to accept such a challenge."
At the same time, Atletico Madrid also solemnly announced that the team will increase its efforts to support the youth training of Chinatown in Fuen Lavrada, and once again congratulate the team on its successful upgrade for three consecutive years.
And from beginning to end, Gao Han never showed up.
After the season ended, he bid farewell to the team and returned to China for vacation.
Chapter completed!
