The Sebena training base, which had been silent for several days due to the national team competition, became lively again.

While many international players were away, Gao Han and the coaching staff organized all the players who stayed in the team to train, and at the same time, they drew several players from the youth team next door to make up the numbers and play in the internal group matches.

From beginning to end, Gao Han just stood on the sidelines to watch, and from time to time discussed something with Cantalero next to him, leaving Tuchel to take charge of the training and internal group confrontation.

It was not until the match ended that Gao Han came over and summarized a few words with the players.

But when the team was disbanded, Marcelo was kept by Gao Han.

"First go take a shower and change your clothes, and come back to my office."

Marcelo was stunned, feeling like a student who made a mistake was called to the office by the teacher to be punished.

He is not stupid. He knows the environment and situation he faces. He also knows that after he comes to Europe, he will have problems with his performance, whether in Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

He did a good job offensively, but that wasn't enough to gain a foothold in the European first-tier teams, because his weak defense would burn all his performance on the offensive end.

This was the case when I was in Real Madrid.

Could it be that way in Bayern Munich?

Marcelo was a little scared because he knew Gao Han was famous. He could have become famous because he was selected by Gao Han, but now he could also lose everything because he was abandoned by Gao Han.

After returning to the locker room in a daze, taking a shower and changing clothes, the Brazilian still gritted his teeth and came to Gao Han's office.

At this time, Gao Han was sitting on the sofa, looking at the TV on the opposite wall, where the game video was being played.

Hearing Marcelo's knock on the door, Gao Han turned his head, and when he saw him, he waved his hand to him to come in and sit down.

"This is a video of the game I edited by the technical department, from the time you joined the team to the present." Gao Han smiled and took the initiative to reveal the puzzle, which made the atmosphere of the conversation much easier.

At least, Marcelo's inner tension became lighter and he focused on the game highlights.

"Please take a look, do you find out if you have any problems in defense?"

After hearing Gao Han's words, Marcelo immediately realized that this collection was his defense. He was so smart that he immediately realized that the head coach wanted to discuss the defense with him.

In an instant, his heart, which was originally hanging in his voice, was completely relieved.

It turns out that the head coach has not given up on himself yet.

With a heavy sigh, Marcelo watched the game video again with concentration.

Not to mention, I really don’t feel anything in normal times, but if so many defensive clips from training and games were edited together, after watching this, he really felt that there was something wrong, and it was still a very serious problem.

That is, the probability of him being directly passed by is very high.

It can even be said that whenever he is one-on-one, he will be passed by someone.

This made the Brazilian feel a little ashamed, because the probability of his superiority on the offensive end is not being passed by others, which is so embarrassing.

So, when he saw the back, he almost couldn't bear to look at him and covered his face.

Gao Han also noticed Marcelo's actions and felt funny in his heart. It could be seen that this was also a very energetic boy.

However, this is a good thing, Gao Han likes such enthusiastic players.

The reason is very simple. If you are angry, you will not be willing to let others down, and you will work hard to improve yourself and improve yourself.

Although they may not be able to see clearly what their problems are for the time being, and may even be in a mess in the game, it doesn’t matter. Gradually, they will use their own progress to prove their strength.

"Don't cover your face. Everyone who should see it has seen it, and it's useless to cover it." Gao Han chuckled.

Marcelo had no choice but to put down his hand, "Boss, I..."

He wanted to find some reasons and excuses for himself, but he still couldn't find it.

As a defender, he can't even do the most basic defense well. Is there any reason?

Gao Han didn't say anything, but looked at him silently, waiting for the reasons and explanations he gave.

But Marcelo hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "Okay, I admit, boss, my defense is really bad."

Gao Han smiled again, just don’t make excuses, at least he is willing to admit his own problems.

"To be honest, I like your offense very much, and I can even tell you that as long as your defense can reach the level of a qualified defender in the top European league, you will definitely be the best offensive full-back in the world."

Gao Han's words made Marcelo a little stunned.

Is this a high evaluation?

Even though Marcelo has already had a lot of expectations for himself on weekdays, and after joining Bayern Munich, he was praised by the media a little, he never thought that he could become the best in the world.

Especially this was said from the famous Gao Han.

But Gao Han was very serious because this was his truth.

The most basic ability of a defender is never attack, but defense.

Even full-backs like Robert Carlos and Kafu, who are known for their offensive ability, can reach the level of qualified defenders, especially when they can calm down to defend.

This summer, Daniel Alves, the right-back who just transferred from Sevilla to Barcelona, ​​looked a bit like a winger, with a typical offense and weak defense. Many people even seriously doubt whether he still has defensive ability.

But in fact, his defensive ability is not bad, and it completely meets the requirements of the top league defender. It's just that his offensive performance covers up his ordinary defense.

But the ordinary here is relative to the defenders in the top league, but the excellence of the offensive end is also compared to the defenders in the top league, and even the offensive players in the midfield and frontcourt.

"Boss, what should I do?" Marcelo asked with courage.

He saw that Gao Han was not fooling him, and he believed in Gao Han's vision, so he began to want to meet Gao Han's requirements and to reach the height that Gao Han said.

Gao Han did not answer, but pointed at the TV, "You watch it carefully again. Why are you so easily overwhelmed when you are defending, especially when one-on-one?"

After saying that, Gao Han put another highlight of the competition.

Marcelo stared at the TV attentively and watched the defense in the highlights again and again. Gradually, he really found some clues, and as the highlights were played, he finally saw his problem clearly.

"It's a stance, it's a stance, boss." Marcelo exclaimed.

Gao Han nodded, which was discovered after careful research by Sergio Garcia's technical department.

"Yes, have you noticed that you choose too much when you defend one-on-one, or should I say that, you always want to grab the ball, but you ignore it, and your opponent is always waiting for you to make moves."

In European football, there is an iron rule when defending, and you will never make any effort without being sure enough.

The reason Cannavaro was criticized in his early years was because he liked to play too much. Although his success rate was also good, once he failed, he was often easily exploited by his opponents.

The most direct impression of fans who watch the game on TV is that this kid is too rash and frigid.

The same is true for Marcelo's current problem. His first reaction when defending is to grab the ball, which is not possible.

Of course, this has a lot to do with his growth in Brazil.

Gao Han also knew very well that if he wanted him to quickly improve his defensive ability in a short period of time, he would not expect it at all.

Rome was not built overnight if you couldn't eat a fat man in one bite.

"I have studied it with the coaching staff, and next I will consolidate the left defense from two aspects."

Marcelo nodded and listened very seriously.

"First, I will ask my teammates to protect you more and assist in defense more, but on the court, you will definitely be directly impacted by your opponent, because everyone knows that your side is our weaknesses and loopholes."

Marcelo was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Boss, although this is a fact, can he not be so straightforward?

But he didn't dare to say this and nodded quickly.

"So, my second requirement for you is very simple. I don't need you to grab the ball, nor do you do it. I just ask you to not easily make moves when defending, follow the opponent's inside, and don't let the opponent cut in the middle."

"That's it?" Marcelo was a little surprised.

Gao Han smiled slightly, "Of course it's not the only one, but it's the easiest and most basic. My idea is that you first master this point, meet the requirements, and then slowly learn something else. For example, I will focus on improving your positioning ability in the future."

The positioning seems simple, but it is actually not easy because there are many factors to consider.

For example, how many players are around the opponent's ball holder participate in the offense? What is their running route? Even if they go further, what kind of cooperation will they adopt?

On my side, after I get stuck in the position, what method will the opponent take to attack? Can my teammates assist in defense and follow up in time?

All of this requires the defender to judge the moment he is stuck, which is a nearly instinctive judgment.

"You have good physical fitness, excellent running ability, fast speed, flexible body, not tall, and have certain fighting ability. These are your advantages, so I believe you should be able to meet my first and most basic requirements for you." Gao Han encouraged with a smile.

Marcelo nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, boss, if you can't even meet such basic requirements, then I..."

"Don't talk about anything else, I don't want to hear you say. I just watch you do it." Gao Han didn't let him say it.

Marcelo understood Gao Han's kindness, and was grateful in his heart, and nodded in agreement.

"To be honest, I know you like offense, so do I. The reason I introduced you is to value your offensive ability, but the premise is that your defensive ability must meet the requirements and avoid unnecessary mistakes."

"I understand, boss." Marcelo agreed with conscience.

"In the next few days, I will ask the coaching staff to arrange corresponding training for you, but it's a pity that Ribery and Robben are not there, otherwise..." Gao Han sighed.

Marcelo couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

He still vaguely remembers that when he was in Real Madrid, he heard that Gao Han told the Portuguese not to be so fancy in order to train Cristiano Ronaldo, so he allowed the players in the team to foul the ball when he got the ball.

It is said that Cristiano Ronaldo has been heartbroken for this.

Now the situation is reversed. Isn’t it that fragile little heart that uses Robben and Ribery to ravage this poor child?

Fortunately, the national team is playing well, they are not here, okay!

But just as Marcelo was shouting for luck, Gao Han suddenly nodded.

"Well, but it's okay. When they come back from the national team, I will arrange for them to take turns to train you."

Marcelo was stunned on the spot.

It is a blessing or not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

My God, one is not enough, so I take turns to go.
Chapter completed!
