"Haha, welcome to Covelciano, Mr. Gao Han."

"It's my honor, Renzo."

As soon as he entered the training base, Renzo Ulivieri led the crowd to welcome him. The trainees from the coaching class, the coaches who heard the news, and the media reporters who had been waiting for a long time also rushed forward.

The atmosphere on the whole scene was so lively.

But what surprised Gao Han the most was that he saw many old acquaintances beside Renzo Ulivieri.

Silver Fox Lipi, who just led the Italian national team to win the World Cup, smiled and greeted him, "I am very much looking forward to hearing your speech, Gao Han."

"Your arrival has made me feel stressed, Marcello."

Lippi laughed and patted Gao Han on the shoulder, completely like an old friend, which surprised the reporters.

Unexpectedly, Gao Han has quite a few friends.

"Welcome to Florence." Plandelli also came over and shook hands with Gao Han.

He is the head coach of Fiorentina, and the Italian national team's Covilciano base is near the Florence training base. He is at the intersection that he turned in just now and takes a few steps to get there.

"Thank you, Cesare."

Gao Han also has a very good impression of Prandelli. Many of the coach's ideas are very similar to him, but he is more rational. However, both of them agreed that Italian youth training needs to be reformed and style needs to be changed. More elements of ball control and offense are added on the basis of the original focus on defense.

Fiorentina, coached by Plandelli, is indeed the team with the smoothest playing style and the most smooth offense in the Serie A. What is even more rare is that in addition to excellent offense, the defense is also very strict.

This also led to Gao Han and Prandelli's similar interests, who had previously voted for the head coach of Florence.

In addition to Lippi and Plandelli, many football celebrities including former Juventus captain Conte and Udinese assistant coach Allegri also gathered in Covelciano, which made Gao Han meet and meet them one by one, which took a lot of time.

However, what surprised Gao Han the most was the head coach of the German national team, Lov, who came from Germany specially.

The former Klinsmann assistant has been controversial since taking over the German national team last year and is even considered to be the shadow of Klinsmann. In addition, the German Football Association only signed a two-year contract with him, which has led to a huge increase in pressure on him.

However, after he took over, the German national team won consecutive victories and achieved good results.

It was relatively easy when the national team had no competition, so Lov had time to come to Coverciano.

After meeting Gao Han, Lov specially introduced two German compatriots to Gao Han, one was Jurgen Klopp, the head coach of Mainz of Bundesliga, and the other was the unknown Augsburg youth team coach Thomas Tuchel.

But Gao Han had never even heard of these two people.

On the contrary, Klopp was quite fanatical about Gao Han and even wanted to ask some football questions on the spot. Fortunately, he was stopped by Lov in time, avoiding some embarrassment.

"Let's have a good chat if you have the chance." Gao Han smiled and comforted the strong German man.

Klopp nodded frequently and said that he would visit him in person.

In addition to Germany, there are interested coaches from other European countries such as Spain, France, and the United Kingdom. Even the UEFA Coaches Association arranged for attendance.

In Ulivieri's statement, this is the most popular speech ever made by Covelciano.

The Italian media on site also recorded all this and prepared it for future reports.

…………

…………

Perhaps considering the large number of people at the venue, Covelciano temporarily cleared a place and arranged it into a venue.

Gao Han, under the greeting of Ulivieri, received the heavy golden seat award under the witness of everyone on the scene.

This is the only foreign head coach who has won this award in the past decade.

When Gao Han took it from Ulivieri and raised it high, the entire venue was filled with applause.

When Gao Han put down the trophy and walked to the main podium, the scene fell into a dead silence again.

Even Ulivieri retreated to his position, and many people in the venue took out notes, all looking at Gao Han on the stage with concentration, and all the media reporters were looking forward to it.

Gao Han stood on the main podium, looking at everything in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of heroism.

These people went out, and each of them was a famous celebrity admired and respected by the outside world, but now they were sitting here to listen to his speech.

Perhaps, in the future, they will become head coaches, or even famous coaches, and then they will mention this incident that they had born in this Kovilciano base in 2007.

He knew very well that media reporters and fans only cared about him winning the Golden Seat Award, but the most important thing today was his speech.

This was his pilgrimage to Covelciano.

After a little emotional brewing, Gao Han decided to start.

"I haven't had a good sleep in the past two months. I've always been nervous and doubted what I can do. I can stand here and share my coaching experience with everyone. This is a great honor for me."

A burst of applause suddenly broke out at the scene.

Who said no?

As a head coach, how many people dream of being able to step onto this podium?

This is the palace of Italian football and the hall of coaches all over the world.

"Talking about tactics, frankly, everyone present must be better than me. As for training, everyone knows that most of the training I lead is completed by assistants, and I am only responsible for supervising from the side, so I don't think I am qualified to share my experience with you in these two aspects."

Everyone nodded or shook their heads, obviously they would not believe Gao Han's remarks, as they seemed too modest.

"The management of the locker room has always been a basic course that all coaches must learn, and has always been regarded by all coaches as one of the most important coaching abilities. We even know that the management of the locker room directly affects the competitiveness of a team on the court."

"In the past, someone once asked me, Gao Han, why can your team always win? Why has the team you coach never had any problems? How did you use to manage your players so obedient to you, and obey your orders?"

"Even, someone asked me, are you Harry Potter?"

A burst of laughter came from the venue, obviously she was amused by Gao Han's last sentence.

"Actually, I really don't know magic, and I'm not Harry Potter."

"We have always known that football is not science. It has many factors that cannot be explained by science and cannot be quantified by data. Otherwise, I can guarantee that our German friends will definitely win all the championships."

There was even a burst of laughter at the audience, and Lof and others from Germany also laughed.

Everyone knows that what Germany is best at is rigorous and precise scientific research.

As Gao Han said, if football is a science, the Germans will definitely win the championship.

"Football involves ergonomics, psychology, and social relations..."

"It is so complex and cumbersome, it is like a puzzle that can never be solved. The deeper you go, the more you can feel its profoundness and charm."

Everyone nodded at the same time, and that's true.

"The great leader of my motherland ** once said this, fighting with others will bring endless fun."

There was another burst of warm applause at the scene.

Professional football is ultimately a struggle between people.

"Rousseau once said that life is free, but everywhere is in shackles."

"Modern psychological research tells us that humans are powerful, but humans are weak, so humans are social animals, so human psychology always tends to be bound by an orderly rule and discipline. A stable job and a few fixed friends can easily make people feel belonging."

"People are always very conflicted. On the one hand, they yearn for freedom, but on the other hand, they hope to get a sense of security brought by order and discipline. This is the real society we are in now."

"This is the reality, so is a team, it is like a microcosm of the entire society."

"Our players are eager to gain freedom, demonstrate their personality, and freely play on the court, which has become the focus of attention. They avoid those headache-inducing events on the training ground. It is best to practice one day or even take a break. But on the other hand, they are eager to get the recognition of their teammates around them, integrate into the entire team as soon as possible, and achieve success with the team's overall strength."

"With the advancement of the technological era and the development of professional football, our players are tempted more and more, and they are increasingly unable to defend against external interference and influence. We will see that players are becoming more and more difficult to manage, but the players' own psychology has not changed much in essence, and they are still struggling in conflicts between freedom and constraints."

"As a team coach, we should clearly grasp the ambivalence of the players and guide them so that they can better integrate into the team as a whole, not only meet their own requirements, but also bring them a sense of belonging and security through overall discipline and order."

"These two aspects complement each other and promote each other."

"So, next, I will revolve around these two aspects to develop my speech today."

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, there was another burst of thunderous applause on the scene.

Everyone can clearly feel that the content he discussed at the beginning of this paragraph is full of practical information, which will be of great benefit to each of them in the future, because he hits the pain points of many head coaches now.

Ferguson once said that players are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with discipline.

Many famous coaches have also mentioned that young players are not as obedient as old players in the past. They all have unique personalities, full of doubts, and even rebellious mentality.

As the youngest but most successful head coach in European football, Gao Han is undoubtedly very appropriate and practical.

Gao Han was also full of sincerity. From the negotiations before introducing players to the issue of proper placement in the future, he explained it very thoroughly, especially focusing on AC Milan's outstanding work in player placement, and also mentioning his references to the placement of employees of some large international companies, and put forward some very in-depth and practical ideas and measures.

He believes that the player's sense of belonging and security began to emerge from the first time he came into contact with the team system, but this is exactly what most professional teams in Europe do not value.

In addition, Gao Han also talked about the daily management of the team and the technical and tactical arrangements of the team in large quantities. He emphasized the necessity of setting rules first and treating all players equally. He also emphasized the importance of the head coach taking advantage of the situation and preventing it in time, believing that the players' sense of belonging and security are built bit by bit over time.

It is difficult to build and maintain, but it is not easy to destroy.
