"Welcome to Tel Aviv, Mr. Gao Han!"

When Gao Han and his group arrived at the lobby entrance of a five-star hotel in Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, the hotel manager immediately came out of the gate and personally opened the rear door for Gao Han.

"Hello." Gao Han got off the car and shook hands politely.

At this time, Paul Fottery and Carlos Pena had already gotten out of the other side of the car door and walked over.

"It's very nice to meet you, Mr. Futerey."

"So too, Sergei."

The hotel manager named Sergei immediately invited the three of them into the hotel lobby.

This is a five-star hotel with a very traditional Israeli style and atmosphere. It faces the Mediterranean Sea and has a very beautiful scenery.

Teams generally have to stay in hotels when participating in away games in European events.

Although Atletico Madrid's League Cup quarterfinals knockout match only played the first leg, they must make some preparations for the semi-finals in advance, such as contacting the hotel in advance.

If you wait until the second round of the game is over before contacting, it will be too hasty and may even make mistakes.

Therefore, Gao Han's trip was not only to inspect the game between Sharp Tel Aviv and Dortmund, but also to help the team inspect the hotel.

If Tel Aviv Sharp beat Dortmund in an upset manner, Atletico Madrid will successfully eliminate Feyenoord and the two sides will meet in the semi-finals. Atletico Madrid will stay in this hotel.

This is also one of the reasons why the hotel manager is so kind to entertain Gao Han and the others.

The ability to stay in Atletico Madrid is undoubtedly a great help to this seaside resort hotel.

"Our hotel has just been renovated, and we have also introduced a team with rich international hotel management experience, and we are also based on creating the traditional characteristics of Tel Aviv."

While the hotel manager was entertaining Gao Han and the other two, he was also introducing the advantages of the hotel.

"If Atletico Madrid can really stay in, it will be the beach festival in our hotel, and there will be a selection competition for the beach lady, which will definitely be very lively."

"We hope to live too." Paul Futrey laughed.

If you really meet Tel Aviv Sharp in the semi-finals, it would be like you would be allowed to the finals.

Teams like Atletico Madrid usually enjoy high-standard treatment when staying in this hotel, such as dedicated access, special security, and some special arrangements at the hotel, etc. These require prior communication.

If it is a wealthy family like Real Madrid, you have to clear the field in advance, otherwise those fans who are chasing superstars will be able to mess up the security of the hotel.

Atletico Madrid is not that outrageous, but the hotel also attaches great importance to it.

This is the most popular team in Europe this season. Who can guarantee that it will not attract a large number of fans to come?

Just as the hotel manager was communicating details with the specific team leader Carlos Pena, the hotel security guard guarding the outside stopped a tall young girl who wanted to come over.

I only heard the two of them talking in Hebrew, and I didn't know what they were saying. I just felt that the girl became more and more anxious as she spoke, and kept pointing in the direction of Gao Han and others.

Finally, the movement attracted the attention of the hotel manager.

"What's going on?" the manager asked angrily.

The security guard glared at the girl and could only lead her over.

The first impression this girl gave is her natural curly hair, which was like thin snakes hanging on top of her head. With her beautiful face, she gave people a Medusa feeling.

"She came to sign up for the beach lady selection, but she was late and the registration just ended, so..."

This time, the conversation between the security guard and the manager was in English, and Gao Han and others could understand it.

The Medusa girl seemed to have noticed the existence of Gao Han and others, as if she had noticed something, and immediately explained: "I came here to sign up from the countryside dozens of kilometers away. I just took the wrong car, so I was late."

The hotel manager looked at Gao Han and shook his head at the girl, "Sorry, Miss, the registration time has passed..."

"After just over a dozen minutes, can't you be able to adapt?" asked the girl Medusa, "Didn't your hotel always boast about humanized service?"

This immediately made the hotel manager speechless.

Gao Han was also funny when he saw it. Unexpectedly, this little girl looked not very old, about 17 or 18 years old, but she spoke so boldly and directly, which was a bit interesting.

"Sorry, Miss, the registration time has ended. You can come back in the next session." The hotel manager is still in business.

After hearing this, the little girl pouted, looking disappointed, "You only held it once in three years. I have to join the army when you will hold it next..."

When Gao Han heard this, he suddenly realized that even women in Israel had to serve in the military, and it was said that everyone was a soldier.

Looking at the tall girl in front of him, who has a model skeleton but is a little slim, he felt a little unbearable.

She was able to take a bus from dozens of kilometers away to register, which shows that she was sincere.

"Sergey, if possible, please help her." Gao Han said.

"Yes, it's not a big deal to be late for only a little while." Paul Futrey couldn't bear it.

The hotel manager saw Gao Han saying something, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Since even Mr. Gao Han pleads for you, I'll make an exception for you, but if you're late again..."

"Don't worry, no, I promise!" The little girl immediately grinned and smiled happily.

Seeing her, a little girl, laughing into a pistachio, everyone laughed.

Gao Han and the other two flew over for a long distance and had to go to the competition tonight, so they didn't stay and said goodbye and went back to their room.

When Gao Han and the other two left, the little girl followed the hotel manager to go through the registration procedures and asked, "Manager, who is the young brother just now?"

"He?" the hotel manager asked with a smug smile, "You don't pay attention to football in normal times, are you?"

"Well, I'm from the school basketball team." The little girl replied.

"No wonder, his name is Gao Han, and he is the hottest head coach in Europe now."

"He? Head coach?" The little girl was shocked.

How old is he? Has he become the head coach of a European football team?

Although she is not a fan, she also knows how incredible it is.

"Which team is from?"

"La Liga, Atletico Madrid!"

…………

…………

As it turns out, Tel Aviv Sharp is really not a soft persimmon.

Although Dortmund came from Germany in a fierce manner, Tel Aviv Sharp, who was at home, defended it as solid as a slap and finally broke through Dortmund's goal with a counterattack in the 32nd minute of the first half.

The score of 1-0 was also maintained until the end of the game.

Although such a result does not guarantee that Tel Aviv Sharp will advance smoothly, because Dortmund still has a home court, it at least proves one thing: there are really no weak teams in the European arena.

After watching the game between Sharp Tel Aviv and Dortmund, Gao Han stayed in Tel Aviv for one night, took the morning flight back to Madrid early the next morning and presided over the team's training.

March 16th, the 30th round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid defeated Zaragoza 1-0 away, continuing to maintain a winning streak.

Barcelona drew 1-1 with Real Madrid at home, ranking seventh in the league.

La Coruña defeated Osasuna three-to-one away, while Valencia was upset by Vallecano one-to-two away.

On March 21, the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarterfinals knockout match.

Atletico Madrid returned to Calderon Stadium and welcomed Feyenoord.

This time, the young player Van Persie, who is highly favored by Gao Han, won the starting position and served as Feyenoord's left-hander.

But this made Gao Han shook his head helplessly.

Because Feyenoord is playing away, his strength is weak and he must be mainly defensive counterattack. In this case, it is difficult for Van Persie's left-hand forward to play his advantage.

Facts have proved that Gao Han’s judgment is correct.

Van Persie changed her highlights after she came on the bench in the first leg, and she performed uselessly in the second leg, and was very sluggish. She was mediocre and was replaced in the 63rd minute of the second half.

Atletico Madrid had already led two goals at the time.

After that, the bed sheet army continued to work hard. Although it created a lot of threats, it never turned into a goal.

In the end, he defeated Feyenoord 2-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Almost at the same time, in Germany, Dortmund's home match against Tel Aviv Sharp was also in progress.

The Israeli team failed to play an upset this time. The opponent broke the goal in just five minutes of the game. He lost the ball again at the last moment of the first half and finally returned with a crushing defeat of zero to two.

Dortmund also defeated his opponent two-to-one with his home game and successfully advanced to the finals.

The other two games were also decided one after another.

After Benítez's Valencia drew with Inter Milan away, she returned to home but started the game with a bad start. She conceded the goal in two minutes and was eventually eliminated by Inter Milan.

AC Milan won Liberec twice in two rounds without any danger and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

At this point, the two matches in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup have also been released.

La Liga leader Atletico Madrid plays against Dortmund, the second-ranked Bundesliga, while AC Milan and Inter Milan stage a European version of the Milan derby.

This also successfully attracted the attention of fans around the world. After all, such a battle is rare in European football. Moreover, the Champions League has only completed the second stage of the group stage. Unlike the League Cup, the competition has reached a heightened height.

As soon as the draw in the League Cup ended, Atletico Madrid immediately arranged everything based on the schedule of home and away.

Gao Han and the coaching staff have also begun to arrange team training for the schedule, with the focus on adjusting the players' status.

On March 24, in the 31st round of the league, Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla by 4-0 at home.

Although he was a clean opponent, Sevilla's left winger Reyes was quite active, which made Gao Han feel quite regretful.

If he had started earlier, Reyes would have belonged to Atletico Madrid.

A week later, March 30th, the 32nd round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid finally defeated Vallecano 1-0 with Kiko's final goal, and continued to maintain a winning streak.

On April 4, Calderon Stadium finally ushered in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

Atletico Madrid and Dortmund made their own stances in their respective halfs, and Gao Han and Summer two young coaches stood on the sidelines to supervise the team.
Chapter completed!
