Chapter 634 I want to leave the team
The Christmas party is a regular annual gathering in Bayern Munich, usually held after the last game of the first half. The club will hire the chef of the Schuberk Restaurant, the most famous local Western restaurant in Munich, to be organized.
As a famous German chef, Schubeck Restaurant is also the most frequent dining place in Bayern Munich. He is also very familiar with the dining tastes of the club. He rented a vacant lot near Seberna, temporarily built a banquet shed, carefully arranged it, and specially invited the famous Munich circus and performance troupes to perform live.
The whole Christmas party was full of joy and the festive atmosphere was very strong.
Not only did the players and senior executives take care of their families, but even Lin Xia flew from Madrid to Munich to accompany Gao Han to participate.
Lin Xia, who was from the East, was amazed by everyone present and became the most eye-catching focus of the wife group.
The team's record in the first half was amazing and the whole family was full of confidence. The festive atmosphere was very warm. The players' children even played together on the spot. From time to time, people came over and pestered Gao Han to sign and take a photo.
Gao Han was in a good mood and each one fulfilled the Christmas wishes of the children. Lin Xia took out a long-prepared exquisite gift with Chinese characteristics and gave it to all the children attending the party, which made the children overjoyed.
"I really envy these children." Gao Han laughed and laughed after sending the last child away.
In fact, he couldn't tell who was whose child, and he just thought everyone was quite cute.
Lin Xia stood beside him. After hearing this, she secretly glanced at Gao Han, her pink face turned slightly red, and said in a soft voice: "Since you like it so much, why don't we give birth to one by ourselves?"
Since they got married, they have been living a chic world of two people.
Lin Xia continued to work in Spain and made considerable progress in her career, not to mention Gao Han, who has long been one of the top coaches in Europe. The two have to get together almost every week, but they have never thought about having children.
After all, once you have a child, you will definitely not be able to be as free and comfortable as you are now.
On the contrary, the two old couples at home have urged this matter many times.
"You've decided?" Gao Han asked.
Lin Xia nodded heavily, "Well, I decided to resign."
This incident was mentioned a year ago, Gao Han heard Lin Xia mention it, but she did not have such a strong idea at that time. Some things have happened in the past few months, which further strengthened her ideas.
When she was a reporter, she was working as a reporter to fulfill her ideals, but now she has been working in the Chinese community for so many years and her career is booming, but she finds that she seems to be getting farther and farther away from her dream, and she feels a little tired.
"I want to take a break and think about it carefully." Lin Xia said with certainty.
Although her salary at the Chinese community is not high, she has been financially absent over the years. It is also a good thing to recharge and then set off after reconsidering for a while.
Gao Han smiled and nodded, "Okay, I must support you, but..."
"But what?"
"It is definitely not enough to have one, at least four." Gao Han laughed and said, "You think, they like children so much, if you don't satisfy them, they will have one, then you will be able to steal the head?"
Lin Xia chuckled and cursed, "Do you think I'm a pig?" After that, she was about to reach out to beat him.
But Gao Han suddenly became serious and coughed twice, reminding Lin Xia that someone was watching him and he had to pay attention to his image.
Lin Xia turned her head and happened to see Fan Biten standing there awkwardly, as if she was about to get close, but she was a little hesitant. Although it was obvious that she had not heard of her conversation with her husband, Lin Xia still turned and walked towards the wife group.
"Boss." Van Biten approached.
"Sit." Gao Han pointed to the seat opposite him. After Van Biten sat down, he asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with me?"
Van Biten nodded with a little hesitation on his face, but finally took a deep breath and looked directly at Gao Han.
"I want to leave the team."
"Leave?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
"Yes, there are many teams in the Premier League that are interested in me, including Tottenham, Everton, Fulham, Sunderland and Wigan. The Celtics in the Scottish Premier League have also been in contact with me, and they all hope I can join."
Gao Han was really caught off guard, and he didn't expect that Van Biten would ask to leave the team at this time.
Indeed, it is difficult for Belgian central defender to play as the main player in Bayern Munich. Hummels is Gao Han's back-end defensive back-end, and Lucio is in good shape. In front of these two players, Van Biden does not have much competitive advantage.
Even to a certain extent, Gao Han, who pays more attention to the backcourt pass and control and ball-taking, prefers Demikelis.
More importantly, Jerome Boateng and Badstuber are young players promoted by Gao Han and their performances are also good, which makes Van Biden deeply feel that the competitive pressure in the team will become increasingly greater.
At least at the beginning of the season, he would never have thought that Hummels could replace him as the team's main central defender.
But now, the German central defender has not only done it, but also performs better and better, and his status is hard to shake.
"Can you tell me the reason?" Gao Han asked.
Van Biten thought for a while and nodded, "I want to play better for the national team, and next there will be the European Cup and the World Cup. I hope more games will be used to ensure my form."
In the past few years, the results of the Belgian national team have been really sad.
As the European Red Devils, Belgium's record in the past few major competitions has not been ideal, which puts a lot of pressure on Van Bitten, as the captain of the team, but now he cannot play as the main player in Bayern Munich, which is probably something he is unwilling to accept.
There is no doubt that if he stays in Bayern Munich, he will definitely win more championships and honors. The team and all the fans are convinced of Gao Han's coaching ability. But the problem is that Gao Han cannot change his feelings and responsibilities for the national team, so he wants to leave.
With his football style, it is indeed very suitable to develop in the Premier League.
But Gao Han was also in a little embarrassed.
Although the team has many central defenders now, Lucio and Hummels's partner perform well, and with powerful substitutes like Demikalis, Badstuber and Jerome Boateng are both worth looking forward to, but their combat power is not good at all.
Under such circumstances, Bayern Munich, facing multi-line combat, needs substitutes like Van Biden.
But the players said this, and Gao Han could see that he had decided to leave, so it was a bit tricky.
"I will think about it carefully and reply to you before the winter break, okay?"
"Well, I'll wait for your news." Van Biten nodded and agreed.
"But I hope you keep it a secret for the time being, understand what I mean?"
"clear."
After seeing Van Biten away, Gao Han sighed heavily.
The winning streaks and victory in Bayern Munich did make Bayern Munich motivated, but it could not cover up the problems exposed within the team. All the problems left over from the summer restructuring have now exploded.
Van Biden chose to leave the team because he could not get any opportunities within the team and could not guarantee his status in the European Cup this summer, so he wanted to leave the team and go to a team that would allow him to play the main players.
For him, competition exercise is more important than the championship trophy.
Yes, the championship trophy is very attractive, but for many players, they would rather not want to sit on the bench than receive the trophy, which is not a reward for them at all.
What's more, it's for the national team.
Another person who also wanted to leave the team was also clamoring, Podolsky.
Before the German prince joined Bayern Munich, he was indeed highly anticipated, but after coming to Bayern Munich, his situation was getting worse and worse, especially after Gao Han took over the team, he introduced stars like Ribery, Aguero, Klose and Robben one after another, and Podolski couldn't get any chance.
This made Podolsky not do his best in training and was not in very good condition, so Gao Han even would rather give the game opportunity to young player Thomas Muller than leave it to Podolsky.
Not long ago, German national team head coach Löw once mentioned Podolsky in an interview with the media, believing that the latter's condition is indeed not ideal, and he understands Gao Han's decision to employ people.
This also led to the widespread speculation of the German media that Lov is likely to exclude Podolsky from the European Cup roster.
So soon, Podolski publicly stated in an interview with the media that he did not want to sit on the bench for another half a year. He said that he needed more games to ensure his condition.
But for Bayern Munich now, as long as it is not injured or sick, Podolsky will not get a chance at all.
In the Bundesliga giants' forward appearance ranking, Podolski even ranked behind Thomas Mueller.
But what if he is let go and if he gets injured in the second half of the year?
Every giant team often needs some substitute players like Van Biden and Podolski who are capable but cannot play the main players. However, there are very few players who are willing to sit on the bench and wait patiently for opportunities.
Just now, even the team captain Kahn started to get angry and simply stopped attending the Christmas party.
Everyone knows that Kahn is going to retire.
But the retired Lions King still has a very strong temper. It was not much at the beginning of the season, but as the season deepened, some problems appeared in his mentality. He began to feel a little dissatisfied with Gao Han's support for Neuer to be the main force, and believed that at least he should have the opportunity to compete fairly.
But Gao Han had already clearly confessed this to Kahn at the beginning of the season, and he had no objection to it at the time.
According to Gao Han's understanding, one of the important reasons why Kahn changed his attitude was that after the reorganization, there was a gap between the new players and the old officials, especially the high annual salary obtained by strong players such as Ribery, Robben and Klose, broke the team's original salary structure and shook Kahn's original position as the boss in the locker room.
In this case, coupled with the instigation of some media and agents, Kahn's mentality naturally changed.
Some time ago, Bayern Munich performed sluggishly, and media reporters generally believed that it was a decline in state. Gao Han gave an internal explanation of the fatigue and seasonal factors brought by multi-line combat, but there is another very important reason behind it, that is, salary.
There is a saying that if you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass.
Bayern Munich's management broke the team's salary structure when signing in the summer, but did not take any action on the renewal of contracts by many main players such as Ram, Schweinsteiger, Lucio, etc., which naturally led to conflicts in the locker room.
The players were unhappy, which more or less affected their performance on the court.
Relying on his own authority and influence, Gao Han can still suppress it for the time being, but what if it takes a long time?
It's just now, what should I do for the next season?
This matter must be resolved quickly!
