Chapter 459 Smoke bomb
The morning training class was mainly about recovery and adjustment. There were no high-intensity training programs, but the players were still meticulously executing them. The one who worked hard and trained the most was Adriano.
Long before training, this Brazilian international, who has always been famous for being late and not listening to advice, actually apologized to everyone in public for the first time, and asked the captains Zanetti, Cannavaro, Veron and Figo to supervise and help him, and it looked like a new life and a prodigal son turned around.
Then, the performance during training has made everyone firmer.
"Why has this kid changed?" Guardiola asked in confusion.
I had a fight with the team at noon yesterday, and then left angrily. Why did I feel like I had changed this morning?
Gao Han wrapped his hands in front of his chest, looking like an unpredictable and profound alien, smiling without saying a word.
Cantalero couldn't help laughing when he saw his appearance, "I heard that he came to you early this morning. Why? Did you persuade him? Or did you tell him something?"
It can be seen that they all admire Gao Han's methods and are also very curious about what happened.
You know, the casualness of Brazilian players is famous and can be regarded as a major problem in European football. If Gao Han really has the means to subdue Adriano, it would be absolutely nothing to say. One word is awesome!
But Gao Han still looked mysterious, as if he was saying that the mountain man had his own magic.
"You said that." Guardiola laughed and scolded, and couldn't see the guy's smug appearance.
However, they could all see that Adriano's change greatly improved Gao Han's mood and he was ready to write.
"Actually, it's nothing. His girlfriend is pregnant." Gao Han felt that this was the focus of Adriano's return.
Everyone suddenly realized when they heard this, it turned out that this was the case.
Father is a very sacred responsibility, which can indeed make a boy mature and grow up to be a man.
What's more, everyone knows that Adriano admires most is his father.
I believe that in his heart, he has always been eager to become a man like his father.
"This kid is lucky and meets you!" Guardiola suddenly sighed.
If it were other head coaches, even if they didn't give up Adriano, they would definitely not be so concerned about helping him and enlightening him, because for them, achieving results is the top priority, and no one would waste time on such a player.
In the cruel and realistic professional football world, Adriano either wakes up and tries to be strong, or continues to fall into depravity and is finally abandoned by Inter Milan.
But he was lucky. When he met Gao Han, he not only enlightened him, but also helped him contact psychological experts, and he always trusted him. This was also Adriano's luck.
Guardiola was once a professional player, so he naturally knew how precious this luck was.
Gao Han was a little flattered at the assistant's praise, "I just did what I should do."
After a pause, Gao Han sighed again: "I think, although he is the head coach, he can't let everything go. Take Adriano for example. He left Brazil at a young age and left his relatives and friends to Europe. His agent didn't care much about him. He had no education and only knew how to play football. He needed someone to supervise him to avoid his mistakes."
"Professional players seem to be glorious, but they are a youthful person. If they don't know how to cherish and plan for the future when they are young, and when they are old and can't play the ball, they will regret it. Therefore, as a head coach, I feel that I should take on some responsibilities, be optimistic about him, and help him."
Guardiola and Cantalero both nodded repeatedly and were full of admiration.
"You are becoming more and more like Ferguson." Guardiola smiled.
Ferguson is also a famous paternal coach in European football. He trained Manchester United's Class 92 and was even more like a father and son with Beckham. Unfortunately, he later had a fall in love with Beckham.
Gao Han felt that it was a great honor to compare himself with Ferguson, but...
"I don't look like that old man at all. First, I'm much handsomer than him. Second, I'm not as irritable as him. Third..."
"Do you dare to say these words in front of Ferguson?" Guardiola laughed.
Gao Han smiled too, and said to his face, "Why didn't Ferguson spit himself out on his face?"
"Actually, Ferguson was very handsome when he was young." Cantalero assisted.
"Is that true?" Gao Han had never seen a photo of him when he was young.
"Well, indeed, if you don't believe it, go and look for it yourself." Guardiola also agreed very much.
When he left Barcelona, Ferguson had pursued him very enthusiastically, but Guardiola was determined to go to Juventus at that time, so he politely declined Manchester United's invitation, but his relationship with Ferguson was still pretty good.
Thinking of this, Guardiola immediately thought of Juventus.
"By the way, what are your plans to play against Juventus?"
When Guardiola asked, Cantalero looked over with concern.
In this season's Serie A, only Juventus and Inter Milan won consecutive victories. These two teams are also the favorites to win the championship this season. The showdown between them can be said to be a collision between Mars and the Earth, attracting the attention of fans around the world.
Juventus is full of talents, stars, and the overall tactics are very balanced, without any obvious weaknesses.
Inter Milan is a start-up. Although its record is good, it has a big problem. Moreover, internal conflicts have been repeatedly rumored over the past period of time.
Therefore, who will win the two teams to death has also made many people curious about it.
"Juventus is a wall of iron and has no obvious weaknesses, which makes people unable to start. In addition, Capello is a typical pragmatism. If I am not wrong, even at Alp Stadium, he will adopt a defensive counterattack tactic." Cantalero said his judgment.
Guardiola also agrees very much.
Any team playing Juventus will be a headache because they are too comprehensive and balanced.
"Everything has advantages and disadvantages," Gao Han smiled slightly, "You are right. Juventus does not have obvious weaknesses. Capello is also a very stable pragmatist, but this does not mean we don't have a chance."
After hearing this, Cantalero and Guardiola immediately looked at Gao Han.
They were really curious about what weaknesses Gao Han could see from Juventus?
"From the frontcourt, midfield, backcourt to goalkeeper, Juventus has top players in charge, with Trezege, Piero and Mutu on the front line, Nedved, Emerson, Vieira, Camoranesi, Mancini Jr., Tulam, Robert Kovac, Zambrota and Zebina on the front line, and Buffon on the goalkeeper."
"This group of players formed a very rigorous and meticulous lineup under Capello's 442 formation, which made Juventus full of competitiveness, and its results were stable, with few fluctuations."
Guardiola and Cantalero both agree with Gao Han's judgment, which is indeed the case.
"But if you look carefully, it will not be difficult to find one of the potential problems."
"What?" Guardiola asked anxiously.
“Too strong!”
Guardiola and Cantalero both frowned and pondered Gao Han's words.
"We Chinese have a saying that goes well. From the front court to the midfield to the back court, Juventus is a player with both offense and defense, very balanced, and very good tactical execution. This makes them very balanced, and the overall strength is very strong and excellent. The oppressive ability of the opponent is also very terrifying, but..."
Gao Han's turn made both assistants hold their breath again.
"It's too balanced, lacks change, has no characteristics, and even when Mutu is in poor condition, as long as the opponent maintains a complete and meticulous defensive formation, it will be difficult for them to open up the situation in a one-on-one match. However, Juventus is not good at passing and controlling, and the excessive pass and receiving mistakes make them stay away from the ball possession, which is simply a hot potato."
"In the conversation between strong and powerful, once you encounter a team with strong overall tactics, Juventus will be in a dilemma, attacking, unable to attack, defending, and being passively beaten."
When Guardiola and Cantalero heard this, they looked at each other and couldn't help but look admiring.
In everyone's eyes, Juventus almost represents perfection, but under Gao Han's analysis of scorching and peeling, they all realized that under his strong body, Juventus hides a fragile heart.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed as Gao Han analyzed.
So far this season, although Juventus has won all the games, he only won one goal.
He beat Lecce three to zero away, but Lecce's style has never paid attention to defense. This team is an alternative to Serie A.
And he won 4-0 against Empoli, who is a promoted player and his defense is also very poor.
It can be said that in these two games, Juventus almost overwhelmingly crushed his opponents with his strong strength.
In addition, Juventus only won one goal in the matches of Chevo and the newly promoted teams Ascoli, Parma, Udinese and Messina.
If it was just one or two games, it could be said to be accidental, but if so many games were like this, there would definitely be problems.
"Juventus' style of play has high requirements for physical fitness. As the season deepens, they will gradually expose more problems. We are bye in the League Cup, but they will play away against Bayern Munich in the middle of the week. In comparison, we have more advantages in both physical fitness and condition."
Gao Han's analysis is also reasonable and convincing.
After hearing what he said, Guardiola and Cantalero, who were originally worried, suddenly became full of confidence.
"In addition, I have also notified the club that the news of renewing the contract with Adriano is temporarily blocked, and it is announced that the team will punish Adriano severely."
Speaking of this, Gao Han smiled strangely at the two assistants, "You should pay more attention to your training, it is best to make our opponents think that our team is in civil strife, which is beneficial to us."
This is to shoot smoke bombs before the game to confuse the opponent.
Judging from the current situation, Adriano still cannot shake Recoba's position for the time being.
The Uruguayan's performance this season is indeed quite outstanding, and it is difficult for Adriano to replace him before his performance declines.
