"What's this?"

Gao Han smiled and took the plaque from Terry's hand, which was not as heavy as he thought.

"You open it and take a look." Terry smiled.

Gao Han opened the outer packaging on the spot, and it turned out to be a photo frame inside, which was a photo of Gao Han and Chelsea players.

When Gao Han saw this photo, his mind was filled with memories.

It was the Christmas season when he coached Chelsea. The photo was taken at the restaurant where he invested. At that time, because Chelsea did not organize a Christmas party, Gao Han paid for his own pocket and invited all the players and family members to have dinner in the restaurant. Later, he even invited many London media reporters.

This photo was taken by Guardian reporter Green Wald.

Later, Gao Han framed the photo and hung it on the wall of the head coach's office at the Harrington Training Ground.

When he left Chelsea, he never returned to Harrington, so he naturally couldn't take away the photos. He felt quite regretful about this, but unexpectedly, Terry put it away.

Chelsea in the photo is still very nostalgic.

At that time, Terry had just become the captain, and Lampard was also rumored to have been treated coldly. Ronaldinho, Etoo and Ibrahimovic had just begun to show their superstar style, and Galas, his partner with Terry was still missed by countless fans even after many years.

Years have passed, some of the players in the photo have become superstars, while others have become the pillars of the team. Fabregas, Van Persie and Galas have also proved their strength at Arsenal. Young player Messi is now one of the three most promising superstars in the new generation of European football.

Seeing this photo, Gao Han had to deeply sigh that the world was impermanent.

If it weren't for those things back then, with Chelsea's lineup, it would have been no longer the situation today.

What's even more ironic is that he will face Chelsea tonight.

Thinking of this, Gao Han suddenly laughed, didn't say anything, walked over and hugged Terry hard.

"Thank you, John, this is the most meaningful gift I have ever received, thank you."

There were many players around Gao Han who coached Chelsea involuntarily surrounded him. Drogba and Barack consciously retreated, but their eyes were full of envy.

They are all very strange. What kind of person is a head coach who is still missed and loved by so many players even now and on the stage of the Champions League final?

In the stands, Chelsea fans saw this scene and cheered wildly, which immediately attracted the attention of Inter Milan players on the court. They were all surprised to stop training, and some even almost rushed over to start the battle.

They thought Chelsea players were going to besiege Gao Han.

Mourinho naturally saw this scene in front of the Chelsea coach's seat, but his face was gloomy and ugly.

He had noticed what Terry had in his hands and could easily guess what it was.

He still clearly remembers that he had just taken over Chelsea and was planning to redecorate Gao Han's office, but for this photo, Terry and Lampard turned against him on the spot.

That was the first time he really felt Gao Han's influence in Chelsea.

It's been three years, three years.

Over the past three years, he has won three Premier League championships for Chelsea, how many games he has won for Chelsea, and how much effort he has made for Chelsea, but in the end, he still failed to replace Gao Han's position in the minds of this group of players.

Why? Why is this happening?

Why do you have to do such a thing tonight on such an occasion?

Don't they know that this is a life-and-death Champions League final?

Don’t they know that they have tried everything for this final?

Mourinho did not doubt the professional spirit of Terry and others, nor did he doubted that they would do their best in the game later, or even perform his tactics at the highest level.

But he was still unwilling to give up.

He didn't understand why these people were so loyal to Gao Han?

Is it still not enough that I have done so much for Chelsea and paid so much?

Is my three years of hard work not as good as Gao Han’s coaching for one year?

Mourinho snorted coldly, turned around and walked back to the coach's seat, sat down, and covered his face hard.

He doesn't want to watch it anymore.

“That was a photo that once hung on the wall of his office.”

In the media stands, Lin Xia solved the doubts that troubled Matayana, Xu Yang, He Wei and others.

She had heard Gao Han mention this photo and thought about finding someone to retrieve it, but in the end she didn't go because he felt that he might have been thrown away by Mourinho, but unexpectedly, Terry and others kept it.

This is his first time meeting Chelsea after leaving the Premier League.

Terry and others kept this photo for three years, which shows their sincerity.

After hearing Lin Xia explain the ins and outs of this photo, the reporters in the entire media area were also full of surprise.

No matter what, they would never have thought that there was such a thing behind this life-and-death Champions League final.

Even as professional media people, they are actually a little moved.

"At this time, I really want to see Abramovich's expression." Matayana said with a sneer.

The chairman's stands was crowded with people, and he could not see Abramovich sitting anywhere, so he naturally couldn't see his expression, but he thought it wouldn't be much better, and he might even be furious.

But what can he do?

Terry and Lampard are both soul pillars of the team, and they did not violate the team's discipline when doing so.

After sending the photos, they should go to train or train, and do whatever they should do, which is no different from usual.

Could he still punish these players?

"If I had known today, why would I have to be the first?" Lin Xia also hated Chelsea's management.

It is not difficult to see from Gao Han's experience that Abramovich lacks the minimum respect for the head coach at all.

In his eyes, only his money is everything. Anyone, including Gao Han and Mourinho, is just a chess piece at his mercy.

There are many such club owners, and Abramovich will not be the first or the last.

"By the way, Lin Xia, I heard the news that someone outside said that if Gao Han won the championship tonight, he would leave Inter Milan. Is that true?" Matayana asked with concern.

If it is true, this is really big news, enough to trigger a major earthquake in European football.

With Gao Han’s achievements today, who can refuse the entire European football world? Who doesn’t welcome it?

"I don't know." Lin Xia shook her head.

Everyone around was a little disappointed, but only Matayana could guess something from Lin Xia's tone and expression.

He knows Gao Han very well, and has known Gao Han as soon as he debuted.

…………

After the pre-match training class, the players returned to the locker room to change their clothes and prepare for a while to wait for the game.

After Gao Han dealt with some things in the coach's seat, he also entered the player channel.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the locker room, Cantalero chased after him from behind and handed over a list.

"Chelsea's lineup is out."

Gao Han stopped, took it and frowned.

There are eleven players on this list, the goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the defenders include Ashley Cole, Andrade and Terry, the midfielder is Barack, Marklele, Lampard and Essin, and the frontcourt is Drogba, Karau and Anelka.

Joe Cole, Bridge and Robben were placed on the bench by him and sat on the bench.

This makes people a little confused.

"Does he want to play three defenders in this game?" Cantalero was a little suspicious, but he felt it was impossible.

The three defenders do have certain advantages against the two forwards, but the defense of the two wings is a fatal weakness. Everyone knows that Inter Milan is a single forward, and the offense of the two wings is Inter Milan's strength.

Let me ask, in this case, Mourinho plays as a three-back, what is that not seeking death?

Gao Han thought for a while and shook his head, "No, if I remember correctly, Mourinho once let Essin play right back this season, and it seems to be doing well."

"Is there any?" Cantalero couldn't remember for a while.

Gao Han specially studied Chelsea's game before the game and said with great certainty: "There must be, you go and check it out."

Cantalero nodded immediately and turned around.

Gao Han is behind the action of Mourinho, the searcher.

Essin played right back, which was undoubtedly against Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although many people from the outside world criticized and accused the Portuguese of their performance in recent times, Gao Han, as the head coach, knew very well that the Portuguese had a huge contribution to the team, not as bad as the outside world said.

In this game, Cristiano Ronaldo is also a sharp knife that Gao Han has long been sharpened.

Essin is different from Paul Ferreira. As an African player, he is physically fit and nicknamed Buffalo. Although his defensive ability and footwork are not good at it, his ability to mess around is not small and very clingy.

If Mourinho arranges him to specifically target Cristiano Ronaldo, it would be a headache.

Another thing worth noting is Chelsea's midfielder.
