Aragonese eventually failed to bring Raul to the European Cup.

When the Spanish coach announced this decision, it not only caused great turmoil in Spain, but also shocked the world's football world. Countless fans were fighting for Raul, believing that the old coach was too cruel and ruthless.

There are even many fans preparing that once Aragonese's team fails in the European Cup, they will rush forward to spit out the meritorious coach and uselessness and pull him off the Spanish national team.

It can be said that during that period, Aragones completely became a crossing rat in Spain.

After watching the Champions League final on the spot, Gao Han did not choose to return home because he wanted to stay in Europe to participate in the opening ceremony of the European Cup and watch the European Cup events. Instead, he traveled with Lin Xia in Europe.

When he learned about the accusations and pressure that Aragones had been under, Gao Han expressed his opinion through the Marca newspaper and once again stood beside Aragones, publicly saying that Aragones did not recruit Raul was a correct decision.

"Each team can only have twenty-three places, which means that there will always be some excellent players being rejected by the national team. Unfortunately, this time it is Raul, but this is football."

Gao Han also reiterated that he had a good relationship with Raul, and the two were also neighbors of Madrid Rafenca. The reason why he said this was mainly because he was a technical consultant to the Spanish Football Association.

Many fans suddenly remembered that there was such a false title hanging above Gao Han's head.

After Guardiola led Barcelona, ​​defeated Manchester United 2-0, won the Champions League title, and completed the second triple-champion in Spanish football history, Gao Han was hailed as the number one hero behind the scenes. His influence in Spain and even European football has once again exploded. He stood up and spoke, and it is difficult for others to give a strong rebuttal.

Gao Han was also personally commissioned by Aragones this time and returned to Madrid and went to Raul's house to explain why Aragones was unwilling to recruit him, and said that this had nothing to do with personal grudges, but only took the overall situation into consideration.

Raul had a deep prejudice against Aragones and did not fully accept Gao Han's explanation, but he also said that the competition is imminent and he will not make any remarks that are not conducive to the unity of the team.

On the next day, Raul also accepted an interview with the media and sincerely wished the Spanish national team to perform well in the European Cup and achieve outstanding results.

At that time, Gao Han was standing beside Raul, watching him endure his inner sadness and loss. When he said this, Gao Han was also worried because he knew that no matter whether Spain succeeds or fails, he would always owe Raul.

But this is football.

The opening match of the European Cup was held in Switzerland, with one of the hosts Switzerland playing against the Czech Republic.

Accompanied by Lin Xia, Gao Han accepted the invitation from UEFA and appeared in the president's stands, and watched the host Switzerland lose zero to one to the Czech Republic, and awkwardly lost the opening match.

Another former Bayern Munich coach Heathfield was also enjoying this game with Gao Han. According to the inside story that Gao Han learned, he has signed an agreement with the Swiss Football Association and will officially replace En as the head coach of the Swiss national team after the European Cup.

After watching the opening game, Gao Han was still wandering around the major European Cup stages. He watched Modric score the goal with his own eyes, helping Croatia defeat another host team, Austria, 1-0.

Afterwards, he watched Lov's German national team defeat Poland 2-0. The one who scored two goals was Gao Han's abandoned player Podolsky during Bayern Munich. With these two goals, Podolsky also temporarily led the scorer list.

After scoring twice and being elected as the best player in the game, Podolski vented his depression in Bayern Munich in the past season, which made him seem somewhat ostentatious when interviewed by the media after the game.

He even publicly stated, "I have never been the type of player who plays as a substitute. I need the game and I believe I have the ability to be the protagonist of the game."

Later, the German striker international said, "If I can't see the prospect of playing the main player under Gao Han, then I will seriously consider the future after the European Cup." But he also emphasized, "For me, the most important thing now is the European Cup, and then I will consider other things."

Many media have regarded this as Podolsky's forced palace against Gao Han and Bayern Munich. With his double score in this game, he proved his value with his strength. He shouldn't continue to squat on the bench in Bayern Munich.

But while Podolsky was interviewed by the media, Gao Han quietly appeared at the door of the locker room of the Polish national team after the game and went to visit the legendary Ben Hak in person.

This famous Dutch coach, who is 65 years old, has coached teams such as Ajax, Feyenoord, Real Madrid and Zaragoza. Among them, Ajax and Real Madrid have coached twice, which shows that his coaching strength is good.

This time he coached Poland, he brought this Eastern European team to the European Cup finals for the first time.

Benhake was also very surprised by Gao Han's personal visit.

If the two really have no friendship, the only time they met was to greet each other politely.

The two talked politely outside the locker room door, talking about Poland's situation during the game, and talked a lot.

It was not until the end of the conversation that Gao Han asked Benhack about a player and joked that if Benhack brought him to the European Cup, perhaps the situation in this game might have completely changed.

Benhack was very surprised by Gao Han's inquiry. He did not expect Gao Han was no stranger to Polish players.

"Yes, you're right. I also admire this player very much, but you know that he is still young. I was a little worried about his lack of competence in the competition before, but now it seems that maybe I should take him to the European Cup."

It is obvious that Benhak has been paying attention to this player for a long time, and as a human spirit, he suddenly saw Gao Han's meaning.

"What? Are you interested in him?"

Gao Han smiled slightly in a mysterious and profound way, "Ask whatever you want."

Ask casually?

How could Benhack believe this statement?

Which player can let Gao Han come forward to understand the situation in person? Still ask casually?

After talking to Ben Hakmi, neither Gao Han nor Bayern Munich responded to Podolsky's remarks.

But soon, Gao Han's apprentice gave a counterattack.

In the match against Russia, Villa, who played for Atletico Madrid, scored a hat-trick, helping Spain defeat Russia four-one, and won the most exciting victory since the start of the European Cup.

More importantly, the main lineups of Spain's game are still dominated by Atletico Madrid, with Barcelona as the supplement, and players such as Marchena, Ramos, Marcos Senna, David Silva, Xavi Alonso, Villa and Torres all appearing.

The big victory in this game temporarily stabilized Aragonese's position and eased the doubts about him in Spain.

But what is really satisfying is the second game of the group stage, Sweden against Ibrahimovic.

Torres opened the record for Spain in the fifteenth minute, but Ibrahimovic quickly equalized the score.

The two sides remained stalemate until the last moment of the game, when Villa scored a key final victory, it helped Spain defeat his opponent, won two consecutive victories, and advanced from the group in advance.

Although the unlucky Ibrahimovic scored goals in both games, he failed to reverse Sweden's decline. In the third round, he lost to Russia led by Arsha, who was in full swing, and eventually missed the knockout round.

Spain mainly trained in the third round, with goals from Real Madrid youth training, Delarede and Guísa, who were scored by goals, eventually helping Spain reverse Greece 2-1 and won three consecutive victories.

In the knockout round, Spain encountered a bitter idea in Italy.

This made countless fans mourn Spain before the game, believing that it would be difficult for the Bullfighters to gain a little advantage from Italy.

The facts were as expected by everyone, but Spain's defense was well taken, and it did not give Italy a chance to attack and counterattack. The two sides finally got a zero-to-zero, but Spain defeated Italy with a penalty kick and successfully entered the semi-finals.

The German national team eliminated Portugal with goals from Schweinsteig, Klose and Barak, 3-2. Croatia unfortunately lost to Turkey in the penalty kick, and Russia eliminated the Netherlands with consecutive outbreaks from Arsha.

But it is difficult for Arsha to continue his outstanding performance in front of Atletico Madrid teammates.

Spain finally defeated Russia three-to-zero in the semi-finals with goals from Xavi, Villa and David Silva.

In another game, when Lov's team conceded one goal first, he reversed 2-1 with the goals of Schweinsteiger and Klose, but was soon equalized by Türkiye.

The two sides reached the final stoppage time. In the end, Ram's final victory at the critical moment helped Germany eliminate Turkey three-to-two and successfully advanced to the final.

With the outstanding performance of the European Cup, the entire European football world is becoming more and more shocked, because they gradually discovered that looking at the two best teams so far this season, there are deep marks of high cold.

Needless to say, Spain, Gao Han himself is their technical consultant, and Aragonese's team was originally formed with Atletico Madrid as the team.

The German team was also formed with Bayern Munich as the team, Hummels, Ram, Schweinsteiger, Kloser... These players who saved the German national team many times were all humeral players Gao Han was in Bayern Munich, not to mention Podolsky who scored twice in the first round.

The final of Germany and Spain met, which made countless media and fans regard this final as a civil war between Gao Han's followers. No matter who wins and who loses, the final winner will only be Gao Han.

But in the end, Aragones's team was more mature. Torres's final goal at the critical moment helped Spain defeat Germany 1-0, win the European Cup, and cracked the terrible curse of the uncrowned king.

Aragones was also very proud of this.

But no one expected that the only one who really made the media and fans around the world celebrated praise was Gao Han, who was sitting in the stands and watching the game.

He has served as a technical consultant of the Spanish Football Association for many years, and has repeatedly supported Aragonese before the game, and coupled with the outstanding talents he has trained for Spain...
