Super Marshal

Facts have proved that Werder Bremen's victory indeed greatly inspired Bayern Munich.

After completing the 19th round of the league, Bayern Munich quickly left for Scotland to challenge Aberdeen away from home.

Gao Han rotated the team's starting lineup in this game. Both Van Bommel and Lucio, who were suspended from the League Cup, were eligible to start. As a result, the Dutch midfielder seemed to be missing the Werder Bremen game. His anger was vented on Aberdeen, scoring two goals with head kicks.

Lucio and starting forward Aguero each scored a goal to help Bayern Munich beat their opponents 4-0 at home.

The Bundesliga giant's overwhelming performance has made everyone more optimistic about them.

Three days later, back in Germany, Bayern Munich went to an away game to challenge Hannover 96.

Gao Han was still a bit unsatisfied in the game against Werder Bremen. This game once again featured three defenders, namely Vidal, Hummels and Lucio, while the midfielder still had four Players lined up.

As a result, Hannover 96 was completely defeated in the first half. Marcelo and Lahm performed very well on the wings, helping Klose to score three goals in a row and perform a hat trick.

In the end, Bayern Munich relied on Klose's hat trick in the first half to win Hannover 96 3-0.

Three days later, sitting at the Allianz Arena, we ushered in the second leg of the UEFA Cup round of 32 knockout round.

Lucio's goal in the 12th minute opened the scoring for Bayern Munich.

After that, Aguero scored three goals in the first half and the second half respectively, performing a hat trick. Finally, Van Bommel scored a goal in the 85th minute, and finally beat Aberdeen 5-0.

After two rounds of games, Bayern Munich defeated Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership with a total score of 9-0.

But victory is not exclusive to Bayern Munich.

Also in the UEFA Cup knockout round, Leverkusen defeated Galatasaray from Turkey 5-1 in the second round and 5-1 on aggregate, successfully advancing to the next round.

Everton from the Premier League won 2-0 away from home in the first round and beat Bran of the Norwegian League 6-1 at home, successfully advancing with a total score of 8-1.

Werder Bremen, also from the Bundesliga, defeated the Braga team of the Portuguese Super League with a total score of 4-0, winning 3-0 at home and 1-0 away from home, and successfully advanced to the next round.

After sixteen games, UEFA conducted the draw ceremony again.

This time, Bayern Munich drew Anderlecht from Belgium.

But it was also when the draw results came out that Gao Han received a call from Ferguson, Manchester, England.

Thomas Tuchel and Cantarero and other members of the core coaching staff sat around the sofa in Gao Han's office, while Sergio Garcia sat on the main table and took on the burden of making tea. Greeting everyone.

The team was winning one after another. Everyone had little pressure on their shoulders and was in a good mood. They were chatting and laughing. From time to time, they turned to look at the door. Gao Han was on the phone with Ferguson, but they had no way of knowing what they were talking about. .

Psychological coach Steve Peters, who was sitting around the coffee table, turned his head the most, always trying to hear what Gao Han was talking about with Ferguson, but it was not because he was gossiping, but because he now felt very proud of himself. The choice is proud.

As an Englishman, he knows better than anyone else Ferguson's status and reputation in British football.

But the Godfather of Manchester United seems to have been friends with Gao Han for many years. Listening to them talking on the phone, it seems that there is no politeness between seniors and juniors at all. Instead, it is more like friends communicating with each other, and even sarcasm and ridicule each other from time to time.

Steve Peters knows very well that, let alone in British football, even in Europe, there are probably only a handful of people who can have such a relationship with Ferguson, and Gao Han is definitely the youngest and most promising among them.

Steve Peters took a bit of a risk when he agreed to Gao Han's invitation to coach at Inter Milan, but now that he has come to Bayern Munich, he has become famous, not only in professional football, but also in the field of his professional psychology. He also became more famous, received invitations from many universities, and published many professional papers.

Sometimes I think about it, that meeting Gao Han really changed his career development plan.

Tuchel was also amazed by Gao Han's phone call with Ferguson. Like all European head coaches, he was full of admiration for Ferguson. Now, he is also grateful that he can learn from Gao Han.

On the contrary, Cantarero and others have long been accustomed to it.

They have been following Gao Han for many years and have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

Everyone was chatting and drinking tea, and finally waited until Gao Han came back from the phone call. Sergio Garcia smiled and asked, "Is the old jazz looking for you to accuse him?"

After everyone heard this, they all felt funny.

Everyone knows that Ferguson came from Aberdeen and has a deep affection for this team. Bayern Munich has just defeated Aberdeen 9-0, so it is understandable that Ferguson is depressed.

Gao Han also laughed and said, "The old man's instigation of an army to accuse is false, but the blackmail is true."

Everyone was quite curious, but seeing that Gao Han didn't go into details, they couldn't ask any more questions.

In fact, Ferguson's call to accuse Gao Han was just a joke. His real purpose was to seek Gao Han's opinion because his team needed a center.

This old man knows the taste of food and is addicted.

As early as the end of last season, Gao Han gave Ferguson advice and asked him to bring in Pepe from Porto and Matic. As a result, both players performed very well this season, and Pepe became the The backbone of Manchester United's defense and the central defender formed by Ferdinand are quite solid.

The young player Matic is also very capable under the training of Ferguson, which is exciting.

In this case, when Manchester United needs to find another scorer next to Rooney, Gao Han naturally comes to mind.

When it comes to transfer operations, there are really few people in European football who can compare to Gao Han.

However, that old man is very stingy, and he wants someone cheap and capable. It really costs nothing to be a consultant.

It's not that Gao Han has no one to choose from. He actually has a striker who has been tracking since the beginning of the season and is good at quality and cheap. However, he plans to keep it and refuses to take advantage of Ferguson, so he recommended a few good players to him who are good but not transferable. How to choose a forward whose membership fee is relatively high depends on Ferguson himself.

It is already the end of February, but any head coach with a stable position should start planning for transfers this summer.

This is true of Ferguson, and so is Alpine.

"I drew up a list for the management yesterday. We will not make any big moves this summer, but appropriate signings are definitely needed because our bench is still not thick enough."

Although Bayern Munich's first team has 25 people, there are many young players in it, especially the frontcourt offensive players who lack substitutes. It is really necessary to strengthen them.

"Recently, Podolski's training status has not been particularly good. After further inspection, if there is still no improvement, I plan to arrange for him to enter the transfer market this summer."

Podolski was retained by Bayern Munich's Big Three before the winter break. However, in the past nearly two months, on the one hand, his attitude in training was somewhat negative, especially in the face of competition. On the one hand, Thomas Muller's performance is getting better and better, which results in Podolski having almost no playing opportunities.

In this case, sending him away from the team and transferring should be the best outcome.

After sending away Podolski, Bayern Munich's frontcourt will definitely need to recruit.

"In the next period of time, we should pay attention to the team's training. I plan to continue to try some different combinations and playing styles in the league to enrich the team's tactical routines."

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

It's obvious that Gao Han is addicted to playing after tasting the sweetness in the game against Werder Bremen.

But this is good for the team, the players and the coaching staff.

February 23, 2008, afternoon.

Bayern Munich sits at the Allianz Arena and welcomes Beidawang Burger.

This northern team has done well this season, ranking fourth in the league, but it has a strong Dutch flavor.

The top star in the team is former Ajax captain Van der Vaart, and there is also De Jong in the midfield. The young but already well-known European center back Kompany is on the defense, and the likes of Olic and Guerrero are on the front line. The famous Bundesliga player and Dutch head coach Stevens is very capable. He has trained Hamburg's defense to be flawless, and the number of goals conceded is second only to Bayern Munich.

In this north-south derby at the Allianz Arena, Hamburg's defense also created a lot of problems for the Bundesliga giants, but in the end, thanks to Modric's goals in the first half and Klose's goals in the second half, the score was 2-0 at home. Beats the burger.

Just after the north-south derby, Bayern Munich welcomed another city derby at the Allianz Arena.

This is the German Cup quarter-final knockout match, a decisive game.

In the end, the Bundesliga giants relied on Aguero's three goals in the ninth and 58th minutes, and Lucio's three goals in the 34th minute. They defeated Munich 1860 3-0 at home and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Wolfsburg also beat Hamburg 2-1 with an overtime goal.

Karls Jena, from the Bundesliga 2, entered the penalty kick final with Stuttgart on the road, and finally defeated Stuttgart 5-4 on penalties, causing the biggest upset in the German Cup this season.

Dortmund also defeated its opponent 3-1 at home.

In the end, Bayern Munich drew Wolfsburg, and Dortmund had better luck and drew Karls Jena.

Time has entered March.

The Bundesliga giants ushered in the first game of March, the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, away to Schalke 04.

Although it was an away game, Gao Han continued to adopt a three-four-three formation, but the midfielder boldly arranged for Toni Kroos to replace Bastian Schweinsteiger in the starting lineup. The reason was to save energy for the UEFA Cup in midweek and at the same time to defend the defense. We also continue to vigorously promote young players as starters.

As a result, this time it failed to work again against Schalke 04.

Although Bayern Munich controlled the situation throughout the game, firmly grasping the rhythm and possession of the ball, they were never able to break through Schalke's goal. And because Klose was injured before the game, he finally got a start. Podolski, who is qualified, repeatedly missed scoring opportunities, causing Bayern Munich to fail to score.

Finally, it was in the 84th minute that Aguero, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal for Bayern Munich.

After the game, the media gave two completely different evaluations of Gao Han's performance in this game.

One party thinks that Gao Han is having fun, is addicted, and can't stop it.

The other side believed that Gao Han almost lost his temper.

But only Gao Han himself knows what the situation is.
