This is the most comfortable and comfortable winter in the past decade.

He can finally take time to spend with his family.

Since he left the Chelsea coach ten years ago, he has been resting for a year. Since then, Gao Han has never had a good rest. Even during the holiday, it is difficult for him to completely relax and enjoy the holiday wholeheartedly.

After leaving the position of Paris Saint-Germain coach, Gao Han once thought about taking a holiday, but soon he began to become busy with football cooperation between China and Spain. There were too many details to be finalized and dealt with in all aspects. The different operation and management mechanisms of the two countries also arise many contradictions and problems, which Gao Han needs to solve one by one.

Finally, it was at the end of September. Under the joint witness of the chief and the Spanish Prime Minister, the Spanish Minister of Sports and the General Administration of Sports of China formally signed an agreement on all-round cooperation in the field of football.

But even if the agreement was signed, Gao Han still couldn't fully feel at ease, because there was still a lot of aftermath to be dealt with, and he also promised the Football Association and Perrin to pay close attention to the national football team's game and movements, so he started running between Europe and China again.

In January, Gao Han was not easy to take time to throw all the team's winter break training and other related matters to Cantalero and Zidane. He took his wife and children, as well as two pairs of elderly people in the family, and a family of seven flew to Australia for the winter. Gao Han alone bears all the expenses.

During his time in Australia, Gao Han only watched four Asian Cup matches of the Chinese national football team, three wins and one loss. The three games in the group stage were better, but in the knockout round, it was reasonable to lose to the host Australia.

Many old problems still exist, such as the team's forward players are not good, which is the Chinese national football team's fatal point. Even during the Asian Cup, it still cannot be overcome. However, under Perrin's training, the Chinese national football team's technical and tactical style has improved a lot, and the ground penetration and cooperation posture has begun to show gratifying changes.

As for the regretful loss to Australia in the end, the Chinese national football team also tried their best and fought to the last moment.

After watching a national football match, Gao Han would update his football reviews on Weibo. After losing to Australia in the last game, Gao Han even made a summary and published a long article.

He believes that the overall performance of this Asian Cup is good, and basically exerted the strength of the national football team. It is reasonable to lose to Australia in the end, and there is nothing to say when the skills are not as good as others.

"Looking at the performance of the Asian Cup, it basically meets my previous evaluation. We are indeed inferior to others, but the gap is not that big. As long as we perform our strength normally and have the skills and tactics, I believe that even if we encounter Asian strong teams like Australia, South Korea, Japan, Iran and Saudi Arabia, we will have the strength to fight."

"I think the biggest gain of this Asian Cup is to let us see ourselves clearly and see this clearly again."

The international player who participated in the Asian Cup this time is not very old and also gives people hope. The veterans in the team have also played a key role, and goalkeeper Wang Dalei is the best in the team, which is particularly impressive.

Gao Han believes that the national football team has made gratifying progress and has also seen hope, but it is far from being reborn.

"As the three consecutive wins in the group stage, domestic public opinion praised one-sidedly, fans were generally very enthusiastic. After losing to Australia, the media and public opinion turned around. As a head coach, I can understand the feelings of the media and fans, but I want to say that this is normal."

"Every team, every head coach, and every player will make mistakes. The stronger the overall strength team will have greater ability to withstand mistakes. It is obvious that we do not have the advantage whether it is an individual player or an overall strength, so many of our mistakes will become more fatal and will eventually be amplified."

"It should be said that when the Asian Cup has reached this level, the Chinese national football team can only play the strength that the team should have normally. Stop in Australia, which just proves that our strength has only reached this point."

"Many people only pay attention to the results, which is understandable, but I personally think that our biggest gain in this Asian Cup is not the results, but the psychology. We see our opponents clearly and ourselves clearly. This makes us have a bottom in our hearts no matter what kind of opponents we face. Only with the bottom can we have direction and confidence."

But in the end, Gao Han also warned the national football team coaching staff and players that the Asian Cup has passed and everyone must summarize the experience and lessons and strive to have a better performance in this summer's East Asian Cup and the next World Cup qualifiers.

"I firmly believe that as long as we can continue to maintain the development and progress momentum over the past year, we have every hope of appearing in the 2018 World Cup in Russia."

What is basically consistent with Gao Han's judgment is that many domestic industry experts generally believe that the biggest and most gratifying change of the Chinese national football team this Asian Cup lies in their psychology. The original performance of fear has decreased, and most players have basically played the level of strength they should have.

This is the key to the three consecutive wins of the national football team!

According to the news from the Football Association, the team immediately contacted Chinatown after Gao Han made three plans. After that, every national team training session, they temporarily seconded a psychological expert from Chinatown. Before and after the Asian Cup, they followed the team from training to expedition to Australia.

"At this point, we have to admire Gao Han's vision and insight. This expert who borrowed from Spain is just Dr. Steve Pitts' deputy, but his grasp and grasp of the players' psychology is quite admirable, and his business ability is also good. He has brought great help to the national team during the Asian Cup, and the players' evaluation is also excellent."

"The years of weakness brings heavy pressure and burden to the psychology of our players. Coupled with the domestic public opinion environment, this leads to the more our players get into key games, the more likely they are to lose their chains. However, the psychological experts in Chinatown have specially formulated psychological counseling plans for this."

"During the training camp and the Asian Cup, he was even more popular with players than head coach Perrin. Many players even took the initiative to communicate with him. I think we have an urgent need in this regard."

In an interview with the media, this Football Association official also took the initiative to mention another thing, that is, in addition to prescribing the national team, Gao Han actually prescribed the prescription for the Football Association.

"He said in a private meeting that not only the players of the national team have psychological counseling needs, but even the Football Association also has psychological counseling needs. The players are under great pressure and the coaching staff are under great pressure, and the pressure of the Football Association officials is not weaker than them."

"I personally think this is very sharp!"

But the Football Association official also said, "A lot of things, many things, the media and fans know, and we know more, but so far, only Gao Han has really exposed this layer of window paper in person."

"It is indeed a blessing that Chinese football can have high altitude!"

With the publication of authoritative domestic media, this interview report from insiders of the Football Association immediately sparked heated discussions across the country.

Gao Han has a very high status in the minds of domestic fans and respects his prestige. Now he has personally promoted cooperation between China and Spain, and has won the title of the top leader. His status is no longer the same as before. Although he is not a member of the system, his words and deeds affect the hearts of the Football Association, coaches, players, national media and fans.

Gao Han spent more than a month in Australia and did not return to China until the end of February. He then flew directly to Europe.

According to the contract, Chinatown's winter break training camp was held in Qatar, the Middle East, and played two warm-up matches here. The opponents were Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 and Bayern Munich in Bundesliga, with one win and one draw, and performed well.

After the draw results of the quarterfinals knockout match were released, the team that Chinatown won was Juventus in Serie A.

In mid-January, FIFA also held the annual FIFA Golden Ball Awards ceremony. Since it is the World Cup year, all major awards are also favored by World Cup teams, such as the Best Coach, Loeff defeated Zidane.

Chinatown has not even been shortlisted for the best team, which is a pity, but as the absolute main force of the team, Hazard helped Chinatown win two runner-ups and the Champions League championships. In terms of vote-winning FIFA Golden Ball Awards, he finally squeezed into the top five and ranked fourth.

The Ballon d'Or winner is Cristiano Ronaldo, followed by Messi and Neuer, who led the German national team to win the championship.

During this period, although Chinatown's performance fluctuated, it was generally stable.

During the Copa del Rey, he defeated Elche 5-0 at home, 4-0 away, 0-0 away, and 1-0 away, and 1-0 home, and then 2-0 away in the semi-finals, eliminating Espanyol 1-1 home, successfully entering the finals.

This is the second consecutive year that Chinatown has entered the Copa del Rey final, but this time the opponent is Barcelona.

In the La Liga, after the winter break, he unexpectedly lost to Valencia 1-2 at Mestalia Stadium in the first round.

But then, three to zero, the Spaniards beat Getafe away, and two consecutive rounds of victory.

In the 20th round of La Liga, Chinatown lost one goal at the Bernabeu Stadium and reversed Real Madrid 2-1 away, winning a key victory, but the penalty scored by Griezmann in the end caused a lot of controversy.

Then he defeated Real Sociedad at home four-one and defeated Sevilla two-one in the make-up match.

However, in the 22nd round of the game, Chinatown lost to Atletico Madrid again zero-to-one away.

The spell of the Bedsheet Legion once again lingers over Chinatown. Zidane's team still lost to Atletico Madrid twice in the league this season, which has to be said to be quite a paradox.

2-0 home win against La Coruña and 2-0 away defeated Elche.

After the 24th round, Chinatown ranked first in La Liga with a record of 20 wins and four losses, with 60 points. Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid followed closely, and the four strong teams still firmly dominate the La Liga.

Chinatown won consecutive victories and showed amazing strength. The team's overall attack power also left an extremely deep impression. The number of goals scored has always been the best in La Liga, but it was slightly inferior to last season in defense.

But after selling the core tiger players of Veratti and Godin, they can still lead the La Liga standings in the new season, and Chinatown's performance is already shocking enough.

Many people even began to think that Zidane's team is likely to be a waste of the cowardly last season.

But many people also believe that the real test has just begun.

After twenty-four rounds, the Champions League knockout round rekindled the war.
