The two consecutive defeats in La Liga were a painful blow to Chinatown.

Ranked 18th in the league, entered the relegation zone, and was one of the four teams in La Liga. Although Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao started very poorly, they scored at least one point.

The two-week national team match day is a rare adjustment period for Chinatown. If you fail to adjust well, when September enters, you will soon usher in the busy schedule of the league and the Champions League, and there will be no time to adjust.

This is also the reason why Gao Han rushed to Madrid after playing in the fourth round of the Ligue 1.

So is it effective?

On the evening of September 10, Chinatown welcomed the newly promoted Granada at home.

This team also lost two consecutive games at the beginning. Both teams are bad brothers and bad brothers. Anyone who loses may fall to the position of deputy squad leader.

Gao Han also attached great importance to this game, and it was the day before the Paris Saint-Germain game, so he and his coaching staff were squatting in front of the TV in the office on time to watch the game live.

Pochettino still lined up in the 433 formation, with goalkeeper De Gea, defense line Alba, Miranda, Godin and Carvajal, midfielder behind Marcos Senna, Rakitic and Herrera ahead, and front trident Hazard, Pelle and Aubameyang offensive combination.

At the beginning of the game, Chinatown played very actively, especially Hazard on the left, who obviously became the arrowhead of Chinatown's offense, frequently got the chance to get the ball, and the Belgian also showed a pretty good condition.

The goal of the game came very early. Just five minutes into the game, Hazard took the ball and cut inside on the left. After passing it to Pelle, he got rid of the defensive player and quickly inserted into the penalty area.

The Italian center took the opponent's central defender and knocked back. Rakitic made a pass behind him. Hazard received the ball and pushed the ball to score.

One to zero!

This goal ignited the enthusiasm of Brock Stadium, and all the fans were calling Hazard in unison.

After seeing the goal, Gao Han kept nodding.

As he expected, giving Hazard trust, he was able to reward him on the court.

When Hazard scored the goal just now, when he got the ball, Pelle and Rakitic both consciously moved closer to the Belgian. After getting closer, the scene of Hazard entering the penalty area was then caused.

Of course, Hazard's dribbling, Pelle's fulcrum, and Rakitic's last straight pass were all very beautiful, but the entire tactical idea can almost be said to perfectly reflect Gao Han's previous proposal.

After scoring a goal, Chinatown continued to firmly control the situation on the court. Hazard became more and more confident and frequently created threats on the left. However, Granada also consciously strengthened his defense against Hazard, but soon, a gap appeared on the right.

In the 25th minute, Pelle made another contribution, assisting Aubameyang into the penalty area from the right rib and scored, 2-0.

After scoring two goals in a row, Chinatown is unstoppable.

Before the first half was about to end, the ball was intercepted again in the backcourt and quickly passed to the frontcourt to Pelle.

The Italian center took the ball and was assigned to the left. Hazard took the ball to attract the attention of the defensively and then passed it to the left. Alba quickly inserted the side and made a cross. Pelle headed the ball, but was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Roberto. Hazard followed up and picked up the bargain and shot, three to zero!

With a three-to-zero lead, Chinatown entered the intermission with confidence.

Gao Han also nodded frequently when he saw it.

"The offensive ideas have been straightened out, the fight is very clear and well-organized. This is what Chinatown should do." Zidane praised.

Throughout the first half, Chinatown scored twelve shots, six shots, and three goals, with high efficiency.

More importantly, Granada hardly threatened Chinatown's goal and always defended passively.

"The game is indeed good, but you should also note that Granada is not strong enough. It is estimated that even relegation is very dangerous this season." Gao Han said cautiously.

It is impossible to just play one game, so I think Chinatown has come out of the crisis.

"Don't worry, as long as you continue to play according to this idea, there will definitely be no problem. Hazard is a player with great potential. I want to see him even if I have the chance." Zidane smiled.

Hazard's position is very similar to Zidane's position back then, and his style of playing football is also very similar, so it is not surprising that Zidane is interested in Hazard.

"Okay, I'll arrange for you to meet him if you have the chance, but you have to promise me something." Gao Han said with a smile.

"What's up?"

"Tip him a few words." Gao Han smiled.

Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Zidane also pointed at Gao Han with a speechless expression.

This person is really unwilling to suffer a loss.

What kind of character is Zidane?

A player who can reach his professional level has an extraordinary understanding of football. Being able to give a few tips will be of great benefit to the players' future growth and progress.

As an assistant coach at Paris Saint-Germain, it is natural for Zidane to train Neymar, but is it a bit of a public service to guide Hazard?

Of course, everyone knows that Gao Han means vacation time.

"Okay, promise you that I will stay in Madrid for a while during the winter break, and then I will stay in Chinatown."

"You said." Gao Han smiled, "There are also Isco and De Bruyne. These two kids are very potential. In addition, there is an Italian young player named Veratti in our youth team, and a French young player named Pogba. You can pay attention to it by the way. If you have nothing to do, please give me some advice."

Everyone almost burst into laughter when they looked at Gao Han's impolite look.

Can we be thicker in our face?

It’s all like this, so it’s better to just dig Zidane to Chinatown to do youth training.

However, it’s true that Gao Han really thought about it, but he couldn’t resist Zidane’s starting point. He was the special adviser to the chairman of Real Madrid when he debuted. Later, he was also the chief assistant coach of the first team. How could he go to Chinatown to do youth training?

The second half began amid everyone's jokes.

Compared to the shattering first half, Granada was obviously prepared in the second half and the game was a bit boring.

In the 60th minute, Pochettino made two substitutions, first replaced Marcos Senna with Ilia Lamendi, then replaced Rakitic with Isco, both of which were counter-substitutions.

It is obvious that Pochettino is preparing for the first round of the Champions League group stage in the mid-week.

After Isco came on the court, he also performed very actively.

This 19-year-old Spanish teenager dared to get the ball and dribble the ball, which was eye-catching. Zidane kept nodding and complimenting, believing that such a courageous young player was rarely seen in European football.

However, Isco is young at the end and is really good at dribbling the ball. He is also very pleasing to play, but he feels like he is head-on-to-head. The actual threat is not particularly great, and at most he can only disrupt the opponent's defensive formation.

On the contrary, in the 73rd minute, Hazard cooperated with Alba on the left and passed the ball diagonally to the back point, Aubameyang followed up and shot, expanding the score to four to zero.

Aubameyang scored twice, while Hazard scored two shots and one pass was elected as the best player in the game.

Gao Han breathed lightly after watching the game.

I hope Pochettino's team can take this victory as an opportunity to get on the right track.

…………

…………

The four-to-zero big break in Granada and won the first victory of the new season. Chinatown was proud and the La Liga standings ranked quickly jumped from the original 18th to the 13th place, up by five places.

As for the unlucky Granada, he was stepped into the position of deputy squad leader by Chinatown.

After playing La Liga, Chinatown soon ushered in the first round of the Champions League group stage. The opponent was St. Petersburg Zenit, a powerful teammate of the Russian Super League, and the head coach was Serie A famous coach Spaletti.

Since it was the first game of the Champions League, both sides played cautiously at the start. Zenit even arranged the May 41 formation and put on a defensive counterattack.

Later, Chinatown controlled the ball and began to attack Zenit, but he never managed to break Zenit's team. Instead, in the 63rd minute of the second half, Zenit seized an opportunity and midfielder Koryanov scored a goal.

After conceding the ball, Chinatown quickly made adjustments. Pochettino replaced Isco with his sluggish veteran Marcos Senna, and used Herrera and Rakitic to play and drag it, pushing Isco to the frontcourt.

After the Spanish teenager came on the court, Hazard was on the left and Isco was on the middle. Chinatown frequently used the players' ability to drive the ball to stir up Zenit's defense. In the 72nd minute, Pelle assisted Aubameyang to equalize the score.

Just four minutes later, Alba scored from the left rib and scored, reversing the score.

In the end, Chinatown reversed St. Petersburg Zenit at home 2-1.

In another group game at the same time, Porto also reversed the Donetsk miners 2-1 with a goal first. Rakitsky and Ziglinsky of the miners received consecutive yellow cards and were sent off in the first and second half respectively. The two players will also miss the next round of the match against Chinatown.

After playing the Champions League group stage, Chinatown returned to the La Liga and challenged Real Mallorca away.

After ninety minutes of fierce battle, with an own goal from the opponent's central defender, Chinatown won 1-0 away games, ushered in two consecutive victories, and further rose, winning the eighth place in the league.

However, in the second leg of the Champions League group stage, with the favorable opportunity of two opponents suspending the red card, Chinatown missed opportunities in succession and was tied by Donetsk miners one-to-one away.

Pelle finally drove Hu, and in the 61st minute, he received a cross from Danilo on the right and scored a header. But just three minutes later, the Donetsk miners took advantage of Chinatown's carelessness and sneaked the goal to equalize the score.

After that, Chinatown had a 62% possession rate, but failed to break through the Donetsk Miners' goal.

Back in La Liga, Pochettino's Chinatown welcomed Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao.

The master and apprentice fought hard for 90 minutes, but no one could get the advantage. However, at the critical moment, Hazard scored a goal in the 62nd minute and helped Chinatown score another three-pointer, but the league ranking dropped one place and fell to ninth. Athletic Bilbao only scored one point in the first five rounds, ranking 19th. Bielsa encountered a crisis of trust.

Three days later, in the sixth round of La Liga, Chinatown drew with Zaragoza away from home, missing another opportunity to score points.

In the seventh round of La Liga, Chinatown ushered in the southern Madrid derby, with Getafe coached by Luis Garcia.

Former Real Madrid player Pedro Leon scored a goal for Getafe, but soon Isco was replaced again and four minutes later, Pelle scored a goal for Chinatown.

In the 74th minute, forward Miku scored another goal and surpassed the score again, and Chinatown was almost in despair.

With a ball possession rate of 62%, he still couldn't find the weapon to score.

At the critical moment, Rakitic stepped forward, first assisted Herrera in the 88th minute, and then received Hazard's assist in stoppage time and reversed the score with a long shot from the front of the penalty area.
Chapter completed!
