The Grimalti Convention Center is an ultra-modern building with a very cool shape.

Entering the lobby from the gate gives people a sudden feeling of enlightenment.

From the surrounding walls to the ceiling above, all are designed with steel beams and glass curtain walls.

It is now around 3:00 p.m. The sun shines in the lobby in a slanted light. After filtering by the glass curtain wall, it becomes very soft after entering the lobby, giving people a very comfortable and bright feeling.

The venue is on the second floor, but there are staff from the conference center in the lobby downstairs, and UEFA officials are responsible for reception.

Of course, colleagues from European football are indispensable.

This was a grand event. Thirty-two teams participating in the Champions League group stage sent representatives, and all the players shortlisted for the annual awards also came to the scene.

The Champions League is a common term for many Chinese fans, but it is actually easy to mess up.

One is the European Champions League, which was the official name for the Champions League before the reform and expansion in 1992.

At that time, only the league champions could participate in this cup. The requirements were very strict, but they were not conducive to influence and promotion.

However, after the restructuring and expansion in 1992, it was renamed to the UEFA Champions League. In addition to the league championship, there were even three or four teams participating in this event in the top league, which also led to a rapid increase in the influence of the Champions League.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the UEFA Champions League, so UEFA specially held a 10th anniversary commemoration event and selected the Champions League's ten-year fantasy lineup. Today, all eleven fantasy lineup players will attend the scene.

Therefore, the entire first-floor lobby was very lively, with many stars, famous coaches and club executives gathered.

If an ordinary fan walks into the venue, he will definitely make him dizzy.

In addition to being a head coach, Gao Han is also a hardcore fan, but now he is much better than before.

It’s like now that when he sees Van Basten, he will not be so excited that he will go over and ask for a signature photo. When he sees Rijkaard, he will not take the initiative to go up and chat with him.

As for what happened, he became even more restrained after seeing the heartthrob Beckham.

"Nemei, everyone says that Beckham is handsome, it's true!" Gao Han just muttered.

As for men, they always shame those guys who are more handsome than themselves.

Beckham is not only handsome, but more importantly, his British gentlemanly demeanor.

"If you dare to get up and get close to him, Simeone will definitely tear you down when she turns around." Paul Futrey laughed.

Gao Han couldn't help laughing.

The grudge between Simeone and Beckham has a long history.

The kick at the 1998 World Cup in France not only caused Beckham to be criticized by unprecedented times, but also made Simeone a cunning villain who was disdainful in the eyes of all fans.

But as Maradona said when facing media reporters asking questions about the Hand of God, in that case, who would take the initiative to clarify in such an important game?

Although this statement is seriously politically incorrect, it is in line with human nature.

Just as Gao Han looked around curiously and noticed the people in the lobby, many people also paid attention to him in the distance.

An old man even came over.

"Hello, Gao Han."

Gao Han turned around and saw an old man with silver hair, which he recognized at a glance.

"Hello, Mr. Robson!" Gao Han quickly reached out his hand.

Bobby Robson has a respectable position in European football. He was a legend in England when he played football. After retiring, he became the head coach and led many teams including Porto and Barcelona to succeed.

The most talked about among them is that during his coaching in Barcelona, ​​he dug out alien Ronaldo from his old club Eindhoven, and the Brazilian superstar has soared to the sky.

During his internship in Barcelona, ​​Gao Han heard many people mention Bobby Robson.

Although he failed to succeed like Cruyff and even Van Gaal during his time in Barcelona, ​​his influence on the club was profound.

Even at Atletico Madrid, Gao Han had heard Guardiola and Lopetegui mention Bobby Robson many times, and they all highly praised it, which shows how high the English coach is.

Currently, Bobby Robson is the head coach of Premier League team Newcastle.

As the oldest team in the Premier League and the most fans, the Magpie fell to the bottom in the past few years and even ranked at the bottom for a while. After the veteran coach Bobby Robson took over, he successfully led the team to relegation and took two years to rebuild the team into a very competitive team in the Premier League.

Newcastle ranked fourth in the Premier League last season and entered the Champions League group stage this season.

However, they were ranked fourth, and I don’t know who was unlucky to meet them.

"Congratulations, Mr. Robson." Gao Han's resume flashed through his mind and congratulated with a smile.

UEFA has long announced that Bobby Robson will be the special achievement award this season.

This is also the greatest affirmation of the English coach.

Bobby Robson smiled and thanked him, and also affirmed Gao Han's performance in coaching Atletico Madrid.

"I remembered two people when I saw you," Bobby Robson said with a smile, looking at Paul Fottery again, "and they are all Portuguese."

"Oh?" Gao Han and Paul Futree were both curious.

"A man named Jose Mourinho is now the head coach of Porto. He is doing pretty well. He is much older than you and is still unknown now. But I have always believed that he will become an excellent, even the best head coach."

"Do you know why?" Robson asked with a smile.

Gao Han shook his head.

"I saw a personality in both of you who were unwilling to surrender, and you were not just thinking, you were willing to work hard for it, so I think you are very similar."

Robson said this and smiled slightly, "Of course, you are already very successful now."

"Where are there." Gao Han quickly took politeness.

He really respects Bobby Robson from the bottom of his heart.

"The other one is more interesting. He is about the same age as you, and he likes football very much. Even those boring football theories are obsessed with."

"Is there such a weird person?" Paul Futrey lost his voice.

As a former professional player, he has read those football theories himself. It is too boring and who knows who reads it.

He even dared to bet that the reason why a large number of former professional players refused to transform into head coaches was because they were scared away by these football theories.

Is there anyone who is obsessed with these theories?

"He was only sixteen when I met him."

Now even Gao Han was moved.

Only sixteen years old?

What was he doing when he was sixteen?

"I was coaching Porto at that time. He happened to live next door to me. We were neighbors. But he was obsessed with football theory, so he often came to discuss with me. I was frightened by him. Later, he saw that he was really interested, so he recommended him to receive professional coaching training."

"He got the UEFA C-level coaching certificate at the age of seventeen, the B-level at the age of eighteen, and the A-level at the age of nineteen, and the highest-level certificate soon after he got the highest level. He also worked alone in several teams and even led the national team."

Paul Futrey heard this and immediately remembered, "Mr. Robson, you are not talking about Boas, right?"

"Yeah, that's him."

Paul Fottery smiled directly, "I have heard of this boy, a recognized genius in the Portuguese coaching circle."

"Yeah." Robson nodded with a smile, "I heard that he is now in Porto and is Mourinho's assistant."

Gao Han was also full of surprise when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, there is such a number of people in European football.

Looking at Robson's appreciation of Boas, it seems that this guy is not simple either.

Boas, Mourinho, something interesting.

…………

…………

After chatting with Robson in the first floor lobby for a while, he soon went to the meeting hall on the second floor at the greeting of UEFA reception officials.

The time is almost the same, and the conference hall is already full of people.

As nominee for the coach of the year, Gao Han was arranged to sit with Ferguson, Boske and Top Mueller.

On the left is Ferguson, on the right is Boske, and Gao Han is sitting upright, accepting photos and interviews from reporters from many media outlets from all over the world, including China.

After finally dealing with media reporters routinely, the four coaches started chatting.

It is obvious that the three old men, who are very old, are full of interest in Gao Han, the young and handsome guy, especially Ferguson.

The most famous old man is the hair dryer, which is known for his irritable temper. However, he didn't expect that he would be pretty good when talking in private. He talked warmly and politely, and he didn't have the impression of a reckless and irritable iron-blooded coach at all.

Especially when I dig up the gossip about Atletico Madrid, it was so sloppy.

However, Gao Han quickly realized the old guy's bad intentions because he seemed to be very interested in Yankulovsky, and everyone knew that Manchester United's left-back was a pitfall.

As soon as he understood this, Gao Han immediately kept a distance from the old man.

Boske seems to be in a lack of interest, probably because he is under too much pressure.

There is no way, it's already the end of the month, and Ronaldo's transfer is still unresolved, but none of the defenders he wants comes. It's a bad feeling if anyone changes.

It was in this atmosphere that the lottery ceremony and the annual award ceremony officially kicked off.

The first to announce to the public is a 10-year Champions League fantasy lineup selected by the UEFA Technical Committee.
