Chapter 284 I'm not convinced!
“…Boske!”
With Johnson's shout, the audience burst into exclamations.
On the big screen of the stage, among the four candidates, Boske jumped up from his seat excitedly, Ferguson and Top Mueller next to him still smiled as usual, while Gao Han closed his eyes, unable to hide his disappointment.
Although Atletico Madrid won more championships and defeated Real Madrid five times a season, all these results were of no use in the face of the Champions League championship.
Gao Han also admitted that the Champions League is indeed even more rare, but he will not admit that he lost to Boske.
So, soon, he raised his head again, stood up and hugged Boske next to him, congratulating him on winning the award.
"Thank you!" Boske whispered in Gao Han's ear as he hugged.
"It's what you deserve, Vicente."
With a simple congratulation, Boske shook hands with Ferguson and Top Mueller one after another, and then walked onto the podium.
After taking the trophy from Johnson, Boske said a lot, thanking Real Madrid players and his colleagues, but never mentioning Real Madrid's management.
This also made everyone present more sure that there was indeed a gap between him and Real Madrid's management.
The subsequent awards have nothing to do with Gao Han and Atletico Madrid, and Gao Han also watched with the mentality of a spectator.
The best goalkeeper fell into Kahn's hands, the best defender was given to Robert Carlos, the best midfielder fell into Barack, the best forward belonged to Raul, and the most valuable player was given to Zidane.
Gao Han sat down in the audience, silently watching the cheerful appearance of the award recipients on the stage, listening to their happy speeches, but he was quite dissatisfied.
La Liga wins all 38 rounds, the King's Cup champion, and the League Cup champion. Such a record is not as good as a Champions League?
What kind of bullshit logic is this?
Gao Han doesn’t accept it, absolutely not!
He had no objection to Boske, but the ones who had objections were the selected guys.
Isn't it just a Champions League?
I will definitely take it down for you to show you!
I must make you convincedly present this trophy!

"There is no doubt that Bayern Munich is very strong. They are one of the strongest teams in Europe. We can completely imagine how difficult it will be to compete with such a team."
"There is AC Milan. Although we beat our opponents in the League Cup last season, AC Milan is obviously stronger this season. The joining of superstar players such as Nesta, Rivaldo and Seedorf has brought this team a complete transformation."
"And Ligue 1's Lens, this team should not be underestimated. They have the ability to change the situation in the group."
"Before I walked into the Grimadi Convention Center, someone told me that there are no easy teams in the Champions League, so don't have any luck."
"I agree with this!"
"Maybe, in many people, the group we are in is relatively difficult than other groups, but I think it is a good thing for us because we like to accept challenges, and the more difficult we like it."
"Although this is my first time leading the team to participate in the UEFA Champions League, and it is also the return of Atletico Madrid to the Champions League after many years of separation, we are not a weak team at the mercy of the bottom of the team. We will continue to maintain the team's traditional playing style and style and continue to do our best in every game."
"I believe that every player and every staff member will not be affected by the lottery results."
"If there is, it must be more excited, because the more difficult it is, the higher the challenge, the more we become."
"I firmly believe that we will definitely be able to stand out from the group stage!"
After the lottery and award ceremony, Gao Han's words in interviews with UEFA and media reporters soon appeared on newspaper pages in Europe and around the world.
Everyone was sure of his words.
Because the war is imminent, no matter how bad the lottery draw is, no one will say anything discouraging in advance.
But as the new Champions League, Atletico Madrid's difficulty is to stand out from the death group.
The most reflective of the outside world and fans' views on the lottery results is undoubtedly the 32-strong championship odds issued by the bookmaker William Hill after the lottery results were released.
Among many teams, Real Madrid is far ahead with two losses of nine.
Although Ronaldo's century-old transfer is still unresolved, the Galaxy Battleships are still the most competitive team in the Champions League with its many superstars.
Following closely behind is Manchester United's five-game, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Juventus's ten-game, Inter Milan's one-game, Liverpool and Roma's one-game, fourteen, Valencia's one-game, and La Coruna's one-game, eighteen.
AC Milan and Dortmund lost 20 yuan.
Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen, the two most shocking dark horse teams in European football last season, had only one or twenty-five losses, and lagged behind the European giants above in all aspects.
The analysis and evaluation given by William Hill is that Leverkusen was hit by the Sanya King. It is unlikely that he would regain the glory of last season this season. Especially this summer, Barack, the soul core of the team, switched to Bayern Munich, which was a very big blow to this team.
As for Atletico Madrid, British bookmakers believe that the Bedding Team should be able to continue to perform well in La Liga, but as the youngest coach in the Champions League, Gao Han lacks experience in the Champions League, especially facing the giant teams in the four major leagues.
Moreover, in the past few years, La Liga teams, including La Coruña, have played well in the domestic league and League Cup, but once they reach the Champions League, most of them are not suitable for the local environment.
Therefore, William Hill believes that the possibility of Atletico Madrid upset in the Champions League is very low.
But it is very close to the statement made by head coach Gao Han in an interview with the media. After learning about the draw results, Atletico Madrid players were also full of fighting spirit when interviewing the media.
Kaka, the best player in the team, said in an interview, "Parking in the Champions League is something that all professional players dream of. We started discussing a few months ago and are finally participating."
"I know that drawing lots are quite bad for us. We have to challenge three strong teams, but everyone in our team is extremely excited and feels great. Although the difficulty of the game will put a lot of pressure on us, it will also make us burst out with the strongest combat power."
As the team's scorer king, Villa also expressed his confidence in an interview.
"Although our group is a little harder than other groups and allows us to make mistakes a little less, we like challenges and we are happy to accept all challenges."
The team's captain Torres threatened without any concealment, "We will surprise everyone, we will qualify from the group, no matter who our opponent is!"
Relatively speaking, veterans such as Guardiola and Kiko seem more mature and stable.
But they all praised Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Lens first, and then emphasized the team's confidence.
"Promotion is not easy, but we certainly won't disappoint the fans!"
"We are very happy to be in the Champions League and we are not afraid of any opponents!"
"We will show our true strength on the Champions League stage!"
Atletico Madrid's statements have also won unanimous recognition from the media.
Being drawn into the Death Group, he was able to maintain such high fighting spirit, which shows the confidence of the Bedding Legion.
At the pre-match press conference of the European Super Cup, Gao Han repeatedly emphasized that he would not care too much about the Champions League events, but would only prepare carefully for the next game and play every game as before.
"As long as each of us works together and plays to our best level, we will definitely qualify from the group!"
On the evening of August 30, the European Super Cup officially kicked off at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.
Boske continued to adjust the team in this game.
Morientes, who was deeply involved in transfer rumors, failed to start, Guti took the lead, Raul dragged the back and played the front midfielder, and Cambiaso continued to partner with Marklele with two back midfielders, which showed Real Madrid's intention to attack.
Atletico Madrid also sent all its main players. Gao Han lost to Boske in the Best Coach selection, and he was so angry that he vented his anger in this game.
From the beginning, the two sides fought to the death, fighting each other back and forth.
Real Madrid took the lead in the 11th minute to get an excellent scoring opportunity. After Robert Carlos made a cross from the left, Raul almost sent the ball into the goal, but Peter Cech flew to save at a critical moment to ensure that the goal was not lost.
This save, like a god, greatly boosted the Bedding Legion's momentum on the court.
Later, Atletico Madrid took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and Gao Han also decided to make a concerted effort. The Bedbane Legion immediately strengthened its offensive efforts.
When the game reached the 21st minute, Guardiola made a long pass in the midfield, Villa passed the ball with the heel, Yankulovski inserted it and passed it directly with a diagonal pass. Torres headed the ball behind the goal, breaking through Casillas' goal.
One to zero!
After scoring the goal, Real Madrid tried to counterattack, but Atletico Madrid deliberately slowed down and began to play ball-handling tactics.
Perhaps due to the psychological shadow of many previous defeats, or because of the lack of active defense, Real Madrid did not increase the intensity of the rush, and always made it the top priority to consolidate its own team's defense.
This immediately put the game in a stalemate.
Until the second half, Kaka dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough after receiving the ball on the left. Using his outstanding personal ability and speed, he passed two Real Madrid defensive players in succession, and broke through to the front of the penalty area before being knocked down by Jero.
Real Madrid central defender received a yellow card, and Atletico Madrid got a very good set-piece opportunity.
Dario Serner stepped forward to take the penalty, and the ball went directly over the wall and flew into the left side of the goal.
Casillas scored a direct free kick that was almost deadlocked, without any means.
Two to zero!
The score was finally maintained until the end of the game.
Atletico Madrid finally defeated Real Madrid 2-0 and won the European Super Cup.
At the same time, the Bedding Legion's winning streak against its mortal enemies in the city has also expanded to eight games!
But on the second day after the European Super Cup, on the evening of the 31st, at the last moment when the European summer transfer market was approaching its closure, Real Madrid finally officially announced that the team had introduced top striker Ronaldo from Inter Milan at a high price of 45 million euros.
This immediately shocked the world's football world.
Chapter completed!
