Chapter 719: Under the Reward, There Will Be Brave Men
After many years of separation, he reached the Champions League final again, and the whole Munich became excited.
On the morning of the second day after playing Barcelona, Gao Han drove to Sebena, and along the way, you could still see traces of fans celebrating crazy last night. According to newspapers, many people were all night long.
As Bayern Munich's head coach, Gao Han is proud of this.
As usual, after arriving at the Sebena training base, Gao Han first went to the restaurant. During the meal time, he explained to Tuchel and other assistants the precautions for restorative training this morning and prepared materials for summarizing the meeting.
This is also Gao Han’s usual process. The assistants are well aware of it and have prepared for it.
After using breakfast, they went to work on their own, and Gao Han also returned to the head coach's office.
At this time, Heness and Nellinger were already waiting for him at the office door.
"What's the matter with me so early?" Gao Han smiled and welcomed them into the office.
Both of them were obviously satisfied with the team's advance to the finals. They laughed from ear to ear as soon as they met, but they quickly talked about the serious matter.
"This year's Champions League final was held at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy. It can accommodate more than 60,000 fans in total, and we got 20,000 tickets, so we considered the same as before, except for some of the items left and the gifts to sponsors, the rest were given to member fans."
Bundesliga tickets are already cheap. Bayern Munich finally reached the Champions League final. In terms of tickets, they will definitely give priority to the team's die-hard fans. After all, it can attract more loyal fans to cheer at the Olympic Stadium, which will also be of great benefit to the team.
"Like last year's Premier League final, the British government attaches great importance to this game. Not only will Prime Minister Gordon Brown go to the scene to cheer, but the British royal family will also arrange for Prince William to supervise the battle on the spot, and our President Horst Kohler and Prime Minister Angel Merkel also came to the scene to cheer."
In Europe, football has always been a people-friendly measure that political officials attach great importance to.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel had suffered losses in football before, so now he pays more attention to it than anyone else.
Not only did the heads of government of the participating countries gather, but Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi will also accompany him on the spot, and UEFA President Platini has formed a political force in the stands that cannot be underestimated.
Sometimes Gao Han has to admit that at least in terms of top leadership, Europe attaches more importance to football development than China.
Of course, this situation is also improving.
Gao Han once heard a rumor that Japan attaches importance to the development of professional football because the Japanese Prime Minister came to Europe to attend a meeting. He found that the European leaders at the meeting were talking about football, which made him feel that he had a serious lack of common topics with them. Therefore, after returning to China, he vigorously developed Japanese football, which led to the rise of Japanese football in recent years.
It is difficult for Gao Han to distinguish the authenticity of such rumors, but it shows the influence of football in Europe.
"Oh, by the way." Heness suddenly remembered something, "I heard that during those days, your Chinese Prime Minister happened to visit Europe to attend the annual China-Europe Conference. I heard that the EU and Germany were interested in arranging him to watch the game in Rome."
"Is that true?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
The Prime Minister's visit to Europe was originally planned to be last year, but later because of some differences and conflicts between the two sides, it was put on hold and it was not restarted until now, and it will visit Europe at the end of the month.
"You should know that the EU, led by Germany and France, has always attached great importance to developing relations with China. Now there is a rare opportunity. They will definitely not miss it. It is said that the invitation has been sent, and we have to wait for the reply from your Chinese government."
Gao Han nodded slightly. Of course it is best to be able to come, and it is just a bit regretful that he can't come.
"There is one more thing that we have begun to prepare for the Champions League final, which is our preliminary plan."
Gao Han reached out to take a piece of material handed over by Heness, turned it on and looked at it carefully.
The team went to Rome to play the Champions League final, which was not a trivial matter. There was a lot of preparation work alone, which was quite troublesome.
The simplest way to solve food, clothing, housing and transportation is relatively easy to solve. After all, the team has rich experience in away games.
According to the club's arrangement, one of the team's buses will depart two days in advance to Rome, familiarize themselves with the route from the hotel to the Olympic Stadium, and simulate the itinerary on the match day for drills to ensure unobstructed along the way.
But food and housing are a big trouble.
The diet of professional players is very important, especially before such a battle, and there is no tolerance for any mistakes.
Just imagine, if the player is dissatisfied with food or eats the wrong thing before the Champions League final, how can he play?
The plan given by Bayern Munich is also very simple. The club will arrange for the chef to go to Rome with the team, check in the hotel in advance, and take over the team's diet. All ingredients will be airlifted from Munich to Rome, ensuring that the players' diet in Rome is basically the same as Sebenna.
"The more troublesome thing is the hotel. Next, I will go to Rome with Christian to inspect several hotels on site." Heness said with great importance.
As a professional player, he understands the importance of sleep the night before to the next day's game.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the fact that Bayern Munich played against Chelsea not long ago, and there was a fire in the early morning. How outrageous is this?
Although it was a false alarm, it seriously affected the team's preparations for the next day and the players' game status.
Without that fire, Bayern Munich could have performed better.
"Rome hotels have never been very good. My advice is that you should not just look at the decorations. It is best to stay in for one night before making a decision. What is particularly important is the security and confidentiality measures in the hotel."
Both Henes and Nellinger attach great importance to Gao Han's opinions because he coached in Serie A and is more familiar with Rome.
In addition, after experiencing the Chelsea incident, Gao Han also had higher requirements for the hotel.
Detailed pre-match preparations have always been the characteristic of Gao Han.
"Okay, then we will find a few suitable ones, stay for one night and experience them on the spot." Hones said with a giggle.
Anyway, if the club funds are reimbursed, they are happy to go to Rome for vacation, and it is a public travel, which is so cool.
"There is another point that the club must prepare in advance."
Seeing Gao Han’s solemn look, Heness and Nellinger felt the pressure, “What?”
"Roman's security is not good, but fans are easily excited, so every Roma derby, or the match between Milan and Juventus and Rome, it is easy to cause riots among fans, and some people even die for it."
Hearing Gao Han say this, Heness and Nellinger immediately understand.
Indeed, since the past few years, Rome’s football hooligans have frequently appeared in the newspapers, and racial discrimination has been repeatedly banned.
During the Champions League final, fans from all over the world gathered in Rome. In addition, the atmosphere of the Champions League final was exciting, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents, especially those local football hooligans in Rome, who had to be guarded.
Heness and Nellinger looked at Gao Han with gratitude, fortunately he still remembered the fans.
"We make arrangements immediately, arrange personnel to go to the site for inspection, and contact Roma and UEFA Organizing Committee. At that time, each ticket will come with a safety guide to help fans travel safely."
Hones' decision was also recognized by Gao Han and Nellinger. However, organizing 20,000 fans is not an easy task. Bayern Munich can only say that he is doing his best. The specific details depend on the fans' own alertness.
In addition to the team's food, clothing, housing and transportation, Henes also talked to Gao Han about adjusting the winning prize.
The team has won the Bundesliga championship, and the UEFA Champions League and the German Cup have also reached the finals. The possibility of winning the Grand Slam is very high. It can be said that it is just a short shot.
The club also attaches great importance to the team winning the triple crown, so it was decided to add an additional Grand Slam bonus on the basis of the original contract rewards, with a total amount of up to 12 million euros.
This is an additional reward given to the team by the club.
As the head coach, the club further improved Gao Han's championship award, and added an additional five million euros on the basis of the original contract of 5 million euros. I hope Gao Han can continue to work hard and lead the team to win this unprecedented Grand Slam.
In other words, after the end of this season, if Gao Han wins the triple crown, he will receive a prize of 10 million euros.
It has to be said that this is indeed a unique big deal in Bayern Munich's history.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards, and this also applies to professional football.
But the club is not at a disadvantage, because according to the statistics of the picture, if Bayern Munich finally wins the Grand Slam, the prize money income alone will exceed 100 million, not to mention the game day income and the potential benefits brought by the championship, which are immeasurable.
What Heness and Nellinger meant that they hope to announce the club's decision to the players before training this morning, boost the morale of the team and let them continue to work hard.
Gao Han agreed.
…………
…………
After successfully advancing to the Champions League final, Gao Han also began to adjust Bayern Munich's goal.
The following three Bundesliga games were finished within eight days, so Gao Han made a large rotation of the team, defeating Cottbus three-to-one away, defeating Leverkusen three-to-zero at home, and then defeating Hoffenheim 2-0 away, continuing to maintain a winning streak.
But this doesn't make much sense for Bayern Munich, who has already won the championship ahead of schedule.
After playing Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich ushered in the German Cup.
This is the second cup championship that the Bundesliga giants are going to hit this season, and their opponent is Werder Bremen.
Gao Han has a natural psychological advantage over Schaff's team, and the next highlight of the Champions League final was a week later, so Gao Han sent all his main players to play this time, but in the end he only defeated his opponent by Klose's goal.
Many media and fans are not particularly satisfied with Bayern Munich's performance, but Gao Han said that this is the coaching staff intending to adjust the players' state so as to play the best level in the Champions League final.
After playing against Werder Bremen and successfully defending the German Cup championship, Gao Han once again lined up a full substitute and sat at Allianz Stadium to face Stuttgart.
As a result, in the first half, the Bundesliga giants led 2-0 with goals from Demikelis and Khedira, but Stuttgart's striker Gomez scored a goal in the second half.
But in the end, Bayern Munich won 2-1 and won the final battle.
After the game, the Bundesliga Giants also received the Bundesliga championship sandbox at the Allianz Stadium.
