Chapter 964

Paris Saint-Germain played a total of three league games and one Europa League in November, and the opponents were not strong, namely Slaven of Slovakia, Bordeaux of Ligue 1, Nancy and Marseille. In the end, the Ligue 1 powerhouses all defeated their opponents without any danger.

Everyone is not surprised by the achievements Paris Saint-Germain has achieved this season.

This is not only because the French Ligue 1 tycoons invested more than 300 million euros in the past summer, but also because their head coach is Gao Han. Everyone knows that with Gao Han's status and achievements in world football, his vision and ability in exploring and cultivating young players, and with Paris Saint-Germain's investment of more than 300 million euros, it is not surprising that Paris Saint-Germain has such a result. On the contrary, if there is no winning streak, it will be an unpopular one.

Entering December, Paris Saint-Germain first defeated Salzburg, Austria 2-0 away, and then defeated Athletic Bilbao four-two at home. With a six-game winning streak, he advanced from the top in the group stage, while Athletic Bilbao qualified as the second in the group.

After playing the sixth round of the UEFA Cup at Princes Park Stadium, Gao Han specially invited Bielsa to have a meal. The two had a rare long talk and exchanged their coaching experience. Bielsa also asked Gao Han about his analysis of the recent situation of Athletic Bilbao. Gao Han also knew everything and said everything.

He feels that the biggest problem the Basque Lions are currently facing is the organization of the midfield and backcourt. They have a strong center forward like Llorente in the frontcourt. If there is another commander-level player in the middle and backcourt, the team will play more orderly.

Bielsa also agrees with Gao Han's analysis. He even said with regret that he really wants to get a central defender like Xavi Martinez, which can greatly enhance the overall strength of Athletic Bilbao.

But unfortunately, this former Athletic Bilbao player is currently worth a hundred times the price, and it is not something that the Basque Lions can afford.

After the Europa League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain played four Ligue 1 games in December, with opponents being Ausselle, Socio, Lille and Saint-Etienne. In order to end before the Christmas schedule, the away game against Lille and Saint-Etienne was specially arranged to be held within three days. The opponent is strong and Paris Saint-Germain has some challenges.

But in the end, the French Ligue 1 giants defeated their opponents without any danger.

At the end of the first half, Paris Saint-Germain led the Ligue 1 standings with a 19-game winning streak, and was the Ligue 1 half-game champion with the greatest advantage in history. Everyone even basically concluded that the Ligue 1 champion this season is Paris Saint-Germain.

In the draw of the Europa League's top 32 knockout round, Paris Saint-Germain was quite lucky and won the Locomotive Moscow from Russia. This is also a team with great strength. The game in February also took advantage of the home court and was not easy to play.

In the Champions League, Chinatown finally defeated the Donetsk miners in the sixth round and won the top spot in Group G, which attracted considerable attention. Many media and fans were impressed by this outstanding and tenacious La Liga team. They all agreed that it is indeed not easy for Chinatown to stand out from such a fierce group.

According to the draw rules of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout round, the top spot in the group met the second in other groups, and coupled with the principle of evasion between the same country, Chinatown finally avoided the stronger AC Milan and other giants, and did not draw a weak team like Basel. It won the Ligue 1 team Lyon, and its luck was average.

After the Champions League, Chinatown returned to La Liga and immediately drew Osasuna 1-1 at home, ushering in two rounds of defeat and under a considerable pressure, but soon ushered in an outbreak away. With Aubameyang's double score, he defeated the Bat Legion Valencia 2-0.

This is also the first time Chinatown won a victory against a top-ranked team in La Liga this season. Pochettino, who had previously encountered top-ranked teams such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Levante, all ended in failure, but this time, defeated Valencia 2-0, and Chinatown was greatly relieved.

And it was Carvajal and Pelle who assisted Aubameyang.

After joining Chinatown, the Italian center scored few goals, but its tactical role in the frontcourt became more and more obvious. The team had many offensive problems, but Pelle's strength and characteristics were gradually recognized by the coaching staff, fans and media reporters.

At least, it would be worth it to be able to introduce such a center with a million euros.

What's more, Pelle himself scored not many goals, but Aubameyang and Rakitic scored more. If the team had not performed poorly recently, Pelle would not have been criticized so much.

After seventeen rounds of La Liga, the winter break has arrived.

Real Madrid ranked first with 43 points. Although Mourinho's team caused considerable controversy due to Jamele Rodriguez's joining, it still performed smoothly in the end, while Guardiola's Barcelona followed closely behind with 40.

As Gao Han expected before the season, after introducing two major players Fabregas and Otamendi, Barcelona's left-wing weakness was very obvious, and neither Abidal nor Adriano could be reassuring, which made many La Liga teams catch Barcelona's left-wing play.

Although he only lost one game in the 17 rounds of the league this season, with four draws, Barcelona's score efficiency is still not as good as Real Madrid, but Guardiola's team is still the strongest in La Liga and is still ahead of the Galaxy in terms of call for championships.

Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Levante are closely behind, with Chinatown ranked sixth with 27 points, four points behind Valencia, and three points behind Levante.

But after Chinatown, Osasuna and Espanyol all scored 26 points, and Sevilla all scored 25 points, and they both bit tightly. As long as they relaxed a little, they were likely to be directly pulled down by their opponents from the European War Zone again.

In the scorer list, Messi led the way with twenty goals, and Torres, Higuain and Aubameyang all scored twelve goals, ranking behind Messi and formed the second team in the La Liga scorer list.

Just before the winter break, La Liga also ushered in a wave of changing coaches.

Athletic Santander fired Cooper, the former head coach of Valencia and Inter Milan, who once became popular throughout Europe, performed very poorly in La Liga this time, which made Gao Han, the old acquaintance, sigh after receiving the news.

Michelle Lauderup also resigned from Real Mallorca. His coaching performance this season is not ideal. In addition, Villarrel, Zaragoza, Vallecano and other teams have also changed coaches one after another. It is obvious that they are all aiming for relegation.

In an interview with the media, the president of the Spanish Coach Association said that this is a gamble for the La Liga team. It is too superstitious about changing coaches like changing knives, but rather does not improve its own internal management mechanism.

"Many times, the signing has nothing to do with the head coach. The team's lineup does not match the head coach's coaching style. The team should have found effective solutions through communication rather than changing coaches."

He also specifically mentioned Chinatown.

“I admire the choice of Chinatown Club.”

"After the glory of last season, Chinatown's performance this season has declined a lot, but as more and more people begin to deny Pochettino, they are unswervingly supporting the Argentinian. Technical Director Cantalero has given him a very good environment and allowed him to work with peace of mind."

"Now they are starting to reap rewards, qualifying for the top spot in the Champions League group stage and ranking sixth in La Liga. Such a report card is enough to explain to everyone, and we all believe that Pochettino's team will definitely perform better in the second half of the season."

"Who dares to say that the top four of them are hopeless?"

Although Pochettino's coaching at Chinatown has been highly praised, leading the team to win fourth last season and qualifying from the top of the Champions League group stage this season, he still lost to Guardiola in the selection of La Liga's best coach of the year.

As for other awards, they basically missed Chinatown. However, in the best lineup of the year, Alba was selected as the best left-back and won everyone's recognition. This is also related to the fact that the left-backs of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are generally not strong, but in other positions, they are basically monopolized by the top three.

In addition to La Liga, the selection and awards of various awards on the European continent have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and are endless.

In the Ligue 1 League, Neymar was elected as the French Ligue 1 Foreign Player of the Year.

This talented star, who just switched from Brazil to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, has made rapid progress under Gao Han's training and has performed very well. He has become a thick thigh of Paris Saint-Germain.

Suarez is also performing well, but the Uruguayan striker's performance is not as eye-catching as Neymar.

Gao Han won the Ligue 1 Best Head Coach of the Year, and there are also annual selections from many French and European media such as Team Newspaper. Gao Han was basically not surprised and won the Best Coach of the Year.

Gao Han has long been used to this situation.

At the end of each year, he must devote some of his energy to deal with these things and get the prizes.

The more substantial one is undoubtedly UEFA's annual selection.

In the roster just announced, Gao Han is one of the five candidates for the best coach of the year, the other four are Barcelona's Guardiola, Manchester United's Ferguson, Dortmund's Klopp and Chelsea's head coach Boas.

Mourinho only won one Spanish Cup of Dec last season and missed the UEFA best coach candidate.

Among these five candidates, Gao Han has the highest voice, and Manchester City's triple-championship is the most dazzling report card, so the best coach of the year is the most suspenseful among the many awards selected by UEFA.

In addition to being shortlisted for UEFA awards, Gao Han was also once again shortlisted for the FIFA Best Head Coach of the Year.

There were no major events in 2011 and the Copa America had limited influence, so Gao Han was very likely to be the best coach for the rest of the year. As for the competition for the Golden Ball, the competition between Manchester City's Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona's Messi was also completely fierce. These two players have performed amazingly in the Premier League and La Liga respectively in the past year.

Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar, Drogba, Suarez, Yaya Toure, Thiago Silva, David Luis and Marcelo were also selected for the 55-man roster, which greatly excited Paris Saint-Germain.

As for whether you can win the award in the end, this is no longer important.

Being able to be shortlisted is itself a proof of the strongest and most powerful player strength.
