Chapter 233 Not a substitute, but a starter!(1/2)
In March, we came to Madrid quietly.
Unlike the heavy snow in central and northern Europe, which is still sinking in the cold winter, Madrid is already sunny.
Gao Han drove from Rafenka to Mahada Enda early in the morning. He experienced the beautiful scenery of the western suburbs of Madrid along the way, and his whole mood became much happier.
The security guard of the Sports City recognized Gao Han's BMW from afar and opened the door early, but the person came over.
"Mr. Gao Han, I've found out." The security captain smiled and came to Gao Han's car window.
"oh?"
"The guy yesterday afternoon was a scout from Real Madrid."
Gao Han smiled after hearing this, "He confessed himself?"
"Yeah." The security captain nodded, "After answering your phone, I took a few brothers to the intersection to block him, and called the patrol police in Mahada Enda over, but the boy was scared on the spot."
Gao Han laughed loudly when he heard this. Looking at the security captain with a fat face outside the car window, let alone, he really looks like a gangster boss. It should be quite convincing to intimidate and extort.
In recent days, there have been more strangers outside Mahada Enda Sports City, and many journalists and spies stumbled on military information. Gao Han has always ignored them. Anyway, if you like to watch, it doesn't matter.
But unexpectedly, a guy was too much yesterday and actually hid in the crowd and took videos. Isn’t this nonsense?
It's OK to take a photo, but at least you have to pay?
So Gao Han called the security team and asked the security captain to go out to deal with the matter.
"We are still the same as before. I arranged two people, and went there to watch during the training period, and arranged a few more patrol shifts to strengthen the security around me."
Gao Han nodded, "Okay, I'll ask you for this matter."
"You're welcome, Mr. Gao Han." The security captain replied with a smile.
To be honest, he doesn't smile but is more manly, but he is a little ridiculous...
Gao Han drove into the internal parking lot and parked into his own exclusive parking space.
He came early today, the internal parking lot was still empty, and several cars belonged to the club staff and coaching staff members. As for the players, it had to be a little later.
But when Gao Han walked out of the parking lot and came to the training building, he found that someone was earlier than him.
On the training ground, turf maintainers were maintaining the field and preparing for training, but on the turf on the sidelines, there were two people training. One looked thin, not short, and was walking around the obstacles with a ball.
The other one is standing aside, holding a stopwatch, but keeps shouting in his mouth.
"I was slowing down for two seconds, and there were still a few extra moves just now."
"Be more efficient. If you can touch the ball at once, don't touch the second one."
"Control your habits and keep your mind calm at all times."
Gao Han looked from a distance and heard the sound again, wasn’t it just intern Unai Emery?
As for the guy who practices dribbling there, it is Portuguese young player Cristiano Ronaldo.
This kid came to practice early in the morning?
Gao Han was quite surprised because Cristiano Ronaldo had to have a small meal with Kaka later. Is it OK?
He is only seventeen years old, so don't train him to become disabled.
Gao Han walked over quickly, "Unai, Cristiano."
A sudden message came from the sidelines, and the two people in the training ground were startled and stopped moving.
When they saw that it was head coach Gao Han, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss."
"Well, why are you so early?" Gao Han asked strangely.
Cristiano Ronaldo looked at Emery timidly and said first: "It's me, I got up early and had nothing to do when I was idle, so I wanted to come and practice in advance."
Emery immediately took over the conversation, "I think he is practicing alone, so..."
Although Cristiano Ronaldo has received a professional contract, his salary is not high, and Emery is still in the internship stage and his salary is low, so they all rented a house in the community where Gao Han used to live, and they were just across the road from the Sports City. They arrived in a few steps.
Let’s take a look at Cristiano Ronaldo’s training program, which is obviously a recommendation given by the coaching staff before.
Although he trained with the first team this season, Cristiano Ronaldo has not played for the first team even once, and even in the second team, his performance is not satisfactory.
Atletico Madrid's second team is currently playing in the Spanish Second Division. Lopetegui is in charge of a team for the first time. His performance is average. The team's performance is not very outstanding. He ranks in the middle and lower reaches, but there should be no problem with relegation.
Gao Han has watched the second team games many times and has communicated with the coaching staff and Lopetegui several times. Everyone believes that Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed a good seedling, but the problem is also serious.
That's too sticky.
Although Spain pays great attention to technology and ball control, it does not mean sticking to balls.
Passing at the most appropriate time is the most basic in professional football all over the world.
Even a superstar like Zidane with top personal abilities dare not stick to the ball when he arrives on the football field.
The reason why Zidane is today is because he knows when to bring and when to pass. Whether it is to ride the ball or pass the ball, it is all for better service to the team.
But Cristiano Ronaldo's sticky ball is a delay of opportunity and even a bit of a sensational feeling.
Therefore, including Gao Han, the coaching staff discussed this issue with Cristiano Ronaldo many times. Even during a private exchange, the Portuguese young player revealed his thoughts, believing that this problem was a football habit developed from childhood to adulthood.
At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo also promised to work hard to improve.
Now it seems that he must have decided to practice more by himself from that time on.
"How is it? How is it going?" Gao Han asked with a smile.
Emery and Cristiano Ronaldo looked at each other, the latter a little ashamed, and the answer was self-evident.
Gao Han laughed, "Take it slow, it's not easy for a person to change his habits. He needs to have enough perseverance. I believe you can do it."
Encouragement from the head coach, Cristiano Ronaldo immediately focused on the key points and was very clean.
But soon, Gao Han changed his mind, "However, everything has to be one degree. You are only seventeen years old and your body is still developing. Be careful and don't be too tired."
The Portuguese boy nodded immediately.
Emery next to him laughed, "This kid looks thin, but his physical fitness is quite good and resistant to rubbing."
Gao Han couldn't help but smile, but Emery said this well.
Cristiano Ronaldo's physical fitness is indeed quite good, but what is even more surprising is that his speed is very fast, especially the sprint of 20 to 30 meters, which is not inferior to Kaka and Torres at all.
When Gao Han and the coaching staff watched him train, they were confused by his fancy ball control because he had excellent skills and poor speed. But later, during the team test, the kid almost fucked Kaka and Torres down, causing people to lose their glasses.
Thinking of this, Gao Han suddenly had an idea in his mind and had an idea.
"Cristiano, you can practice for a few minutes." Gao Han said with interest.
It's Cristiano Ronaldo and Emery's turn to be stunned.
What's going on?
But the head coach is famous, so the Portuguese boy still did it immediately.
I saw that he quickly stood back to the starting point, and quickly walked around the obstacle with the ball.
Gao Han nodded straight on the sidelines. Although this kid's movements are fancy and not practical enough, he has agile body, strong explosive power, and quick reactions. If used well, it is definitely a powerful tool.
More importantly, he is seventeen years old, and it is time to pull it out and slip.
At his age, Torres was already the main striker of Atletico Madrid's Spanish Second Division.
Thinking of this, Gao Han immediately called for a stop and called Cristiano Ronaldo over.
"Boy, ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Cristiano Ronaldo was still gasping.
"Are you afraid to fight Real Madrid?"
"What?" Cristiano Ronaldo opened his eyes and took a breath.
"Fight...fight Real Madrid?"
Not to mention him, even Emery, who was beside him, had a thunderous eyebrow and looked at Gao Han in disbelief.
As expected, Emery was wondering at this time, was the head coach crazy?
That's a Madrid derby!
Moreover, it should be regarded as the most eye-catching Madrid derby ever.
Want to get Cristiano Ronaldo to play?
But Gao Han just smiled faintly, looked at Cristiano Ronaldo, and asked again, "Do you dare?"
The Portuguese couldn't believe their ears, but when Gao Han asked again, he finally confirmed that he had heard nothing wrong, and looking at the head coach's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.
In the Madrid derby, can I really play?
When the Portuguese thought of this, he felt a fire gushing out of his chest. He felt a hothead and blurted out and shouted, "Dare you dare, what's not?"
Emery looked at Gao Han and then Cristiano Ronaldo, and thought these two guys were a bit strange.
It's simply inconspicuous!
