Chapter 1010 Sudden Change
When it comes to choosing coaches, Chinatown has a very rigorous review mechanism, from technical and tactical characteristics to coaching style to the head coach's personality, etc., all aspects will consider it. This can be said to be quite rare in European football.
You should know that many teams, even if they claim to be formal management, rely entirely on their feelings when selecting coaches. At best, they only consider the coach's coaching style, and are not rigorous at all.
Of course, this has something to do with the low cost of firing the head coach.
There are even many wealthy teams who basically regard changing coaches as an experiment. Success is good, but if they fail, they will change them again.
On the contrary, Chinatown, the change of coaches is a result of careful consideration, and the selection of coaches is strictly carried out in accordance with the formal workplace review standards. Once selected, a series of supporting services will be launched, including helping the new coach integrate into the team, helping to place the team, etc., so as to ensure that the new coaches carry their bags to the team.
In this case, Cantalero actually said that he had overlooked an extremely important thing, which made Gao Han very curious.
"What's the matter?" Gao Han looked at the technical director and asked with concern.
“We are a team that is growing rapidly.”
Gao Han frowned and vaguely guessed something, but he didn't understand it. He shook his head and said, "Tell me clearly."
"I had a very in-depth exchange with Pochettino. Guess he told me what was the biggest test of coaching Chinatown?"
Multi-line combat?
But soon, Gao Han shook his head, because any team with better results is basically fighting on multiple lines.
“How to adapt to the rapid growth and progress of players on the team.”
When Gao Han heard this, he immediately understood.
"Our team has gathered a group of talented and talented players. This is certainly beneficial to the team, but it is also a very big challenge for the head coach, and it even far exceeds the team's performance requirements."
"This group of young players is improving almost every day. They need more games. They are eager to get greater progress through game training. They are full of desire and passion for the game at all times. This enterprising spirit is a great thing for the growth of players and the development of the team, but it is a major challenge to the coaching level of the head coach."
"He must ensure the team's stable and high-level performance under the limitations of many conditions and factors such as balancing the team's performance, balancing the players' playing time, and maintaining the players' enterprising spirit. You should know how difficult it is."
Gao Han certainly understood that young players must have good or bad performance, surprises and losses. If you want to ensure the stability of the team's performance, you must try to maintain the stability of the lineup. However, this will reduce the playing time of some players, which will hit the enterprising spirit of young players in the team. If one is not handled well, it may even cause the player's development to stagnate and eventually turn into another tragedy of hurting Zhongyong.
So, to a certain extent, coaching a team like Chinatown is more difficult than coaching other teams.
The more talented players, the faster the players make progress, the greater the challenge to the coach's coaching level.
Pochettino has been working diligently in Chinatown over the years, and his coaching ability is also improving rapidly. Whether he is coaching players or maintaining the team's performance, he has shown a satisfactory coaching level. Now after Cantalero said this, Gao Han can't help but have a deeper understanding of him.
To put it bluntly, he has a coaching system in hand. Whether it is to tap the potential of players, train players, or maintain the team's performance, it is of course easy, but for Pochettino, he worked hard entirely on his own hands, which is particularly difficult and even more admirable.
"I have somewhat underestimated the role of Maolicio." Gao Han felt that he should apologize for this matter.
Cantalero also nodded frequently, "You are basically not in the team, so it is normal not to understand. Don't talk about you. Even if I am accused with the team all day long, I didn't notice this. This was what I thought about after communicating with Maorisio for a long time."
Gao Han couldn't help but look at Cantalero deeply and smiled gratefully to this old partner who had been in his ten-year-old.
He was very glad that he had such an assistant by his side, which made him more focused.
"What do you think?" Gao Han asked with concern.
Cantalero shook his head, "I'm also very confused now. With the current situation of the team, it is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to choose a head coach. I'm very worried about whether Pellegrini has enough ability and prestige to control the group of young players in the locker room, not to mention doing better than Pochettino."
Cantalero's worries are normal, and Pellegrini lacks courage, which is also very fatal.
"Everything in modern professional football is too fast, so fast that people are overwhelmed. If you are not careful, you will never be overwhelmed. We must be very cautious." Cantalero said.
Chinatown is now facing a critical turning point. With the departure of head coach Pochettino, the team will undergo a technical and tactical style transformation. If successful next, the group of young players in the team will be trained, and Chinatown will have a sharp increase in strength and may not be able to compete with giant teams such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the future.
But the challenge is quite difficult, and it is extremely difficult to succeed. Just choosing a coach is enough to have a headache for Chinatown.
Cantalero and the team knew very well that if Gao Han was willing, he would be the best coach.
The whole world knows that Gao Han is best at cultivating young players, and he has enough authority. The young players in the team are also convinced by him. If he comes to take charge of Chinatown, he believes that all problems will be solved.
But Gao Han had made it clear before that he would leave professional football after leaving Paris Saint-Germain.
Cantalero also understood in his heart that as Chinatown's performance became more and more outstanding and more affairs were more and more, Gao Han was also worried when he was busy at the same time, and it was understandable that he didn't want to continue coaching.
But how to choose a new coach?
"Luis Enrique will be a very good choice." Gao Han thought for a while and said.
He has inspected through his ignorant eyes, and he is also familiar with Luis Enrique, so he is very clear that this is a very capable and quite thoughtful head coach. He is young and courageous, and he is a legendary superstar in the past. Judging from his performance in coaching Barcelona's second team, he is also very good at coaching players.
Currently, Montoya from Chinatown is under the command of Louis Enrique and performs very well.
Luis Enrique has only coached two teams so far. Barcelona's second team is quite successful. Roma cannot be considered a complete failure. It is more because of a disagreement. When he is about to leave Roma, even Toti, who was placed on the bench, came forward to try to keep him, praising his excellent relationship with locker room players.
From this we can see that Louis Enrique is quite good in this regard.
What's more, he should have learned something by learning from his mistakes.
Gao Han believes that a head coach like Louis Enrique can grow and improve together with Chinatown, and his identity as a former superstar also makes him more prestigious in the locker room.
Cantalero also thinks that Louis Enrique is indeed a good choice.
"Then I will start the next step immediately and start a comprehensive investigation of Louis Enrique."
…………
…………
When Gao Han and Cantalero both looked forward to Luis Enrique at the same time, and the technical department began to conduct investigations around Enrique, a news came from Barcelona.
The current Barcelona coach Bilanova, who just took over the parotid tumor resection a year ago, was diagnosed with a recurrence of parotid tumor during a routine physical examination a few days ago, which made him have to undergo a new surgery recently and a series of follow-up treatments after the operation.
When Barcelona officially announced the news, it immediately caused a shock in the entire Spanish football world.
Chinatown sent a message in the official name as soon as possible. Cantalero also called Biranova to express his concern. Gao Han even went to Barcelona in person and visited Guardiola with his visit.
Bilanova's surgery went very smoothly, but in order to ensure better treatment results, he will go to New York, USA for follow-up treatment, which is expected to be until February.
Barcelona will soon announce the position of coach Lula as the agent. On the one hand, the club announced that it will continue to wait for Biranova, but at the same time it is also preparing for a second-handed approach, that is, if Biranova will be absent for a long time, Barcelona will have to choose a head coach again.
According to media reporters close to Barcelona's management, Barcelona's first choice is Luis Enrique, who is unemployed at home. They believe that the former second team coach is fully qualified for the coach of the first team.
Luis Enrique was also full of interest in taking charge of Barcelona. When he heard the exact news, he immediately stopped contacting Vigo Celta and waited for the call from Barcelona.
The situation turned around, causing the selection of Chinatown's coach to be stranded again. Halfway through the inspection of Louis Enrique, it had to be temporarily suspended. Waiting for further news, Gao Han and Cantalero had no choice but to do anything about this.
Compared with Barcelona's coach position, Chinatown's coach position is not attractive at all.
Whether from the challenge or from the perspective of gilding, coaching Barcelona is a temptation that no one can refuse.
Suddenly, the selection of the coach in Chinatown had to be pushed back and started over, but time would not stop because of this.
After Christmas, Gao Han returned to Paris and led the team to the Middle East for training.
This is the second consecutive year that Chinatown has been in the Middle East for training. This time the training site is Dubai. Paris Saint-Germain also played two warm-up matches in Dubai. The opponents are teams from the Middle East. They are not strong enough, and Paris Saint-Germain also won steadily.
When Gao Han led the team back to Paris to prepare for the French Cup, the annual FIFA Golden Ball Award was officially announced.
As Gao Han expected, Boske won the Best Men's Football Coach of the Year Award, Gao Han ranked second and Guardiola ranked third.
In the Golden Ball Awards selection that everyone is concerned about, Messi terminated Cristiano Ronaldo's three consecutive championships, successfully made a comeback and won this year's FIFA Golden Ball Award.
The Barcelona superstar won 41.6% of the votes, and there was almost no suspense when he was elected.
Cristiano Ronaldo only scored 23.68%, while Iniesta, who was elected the best player in the European Cup, was only 10.91%.
This also makes people once again sigh at the dominance of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo over European football.
Even if they win the best player in the European Cup, they cannot shake their status.
