Super Marshal
Chapter 392: You are very important!
On the bus returning from Birmingham to London, Henry was relieved.
He just received the news that the African forward from Chelsea has scored again.
The first few rounds did not score much, but in the following games Eto'o almost scored every game. He has now caught up to third place in the scorer list, only behind him, and the veteran Shearer who scored 16 goals.
In addition to Eto'o, Ibrahimovic has also skyrocketed in the number of goals, currently scoring 13 goals, 14 behind Van Nistelrooy and tied with Fulham forward Saha, but It seems that he can make more.
Thinking of this, Henry exhaled heavily, feeling panicked.
"Why? Start feeling pressure?" Wenger, the head coach sitting in the front row, heard his sigh, suddenly turned his head, smiled at him, and asked.
Henry was very grateful to the coach. Without Wenger, there would be no Henry. Therefore, in front of Wenger, Henry didn't need to hide anything. He nodded frankly and said: "That guy is more difficult than Shearer. "
Shearer is a veteran. Although the first half of the goal was flooded and his condition was very good, during the winter break, the scoring efficiency dropped a lot. It seems that it is basically impossible to reproduce the first half of the goal efficiency. of.
Van Nistelrooy is Henry's old opponent. They are no strangers to each other, and they have always scored well.
Henry originally thought that his biggest opponent would be Van Nistelrooy, but he didn't expect an Eto'o to be killed suddenly.
Not only Eto'o, even Ibrahimovic, seems to be getting better and better.
"It's a good thing to be under pressure." Wenger chuckled. "But don't worry, all of us will help you."
Henry nodded, he understood Wenger's love for himself.
As the team’s number one penalty shooter, Henry has scored four or five penalty kicks this season, and even recently, in order to re-stimulate Henry’s scoring state, Wenger arranged for high center forward Kanu to start and combine the strikers. It became one high and one fast.
For his head coach, Henry really can't ask for more.
"Don't worry, Boss, I won't lose!" Henry said confidently.
After he entered the Premier League from Serie A, he was transformed into a scorer by Wenger. The number of goals skyrocketed. In the first two seasons, he scored 17 goals. The efficiency was quite good. Especially in the 2012 season, he was even better. He scored 24 goals in one go and was elected as the Premier League season's best scorer.
But last season, he reached the pinnacle of his career, scoring 24 goals, dedicating 23 assists, and directing 47 goals in one season. He is unparalleled in the world. In the best shooter competition, he lost to Manchester United's Van Nistelrooy by one goal.
The feeling of a tragic loss on the doorstep, it feels like Arsenal lost the league title in the end.
Therefore, this season Henry learned from the pain, determined to be ashamed, and regain the throne of Sagittarius anyway.
Arsenal are also very supportive, giving him a strong backing and confidence.
Wenger heard the confidence from his lover and nodded with satisfaction, "I never doubted you, Thierry, you are the best and most perfect scorer in the world. No one can match you."
Henry nodded slightly, smiled, and his eyes became firmer.
……
……
With a heavy and slow step, Lampard finally stood at the door of the head coach's office.
"I hope we can have a good talk, I will wait for you in the office."
This is what Lampard said after the coach Gao Han kept the training session in the afternoon.
After returning to the locker room, taking a shower and changing clothes, Lampard was thinking all the time, what to talk about?
What else to talk about?
Since Gao Han coached the team, he has completely lost his main position. Even during the rotation and injury of Deco and Veron, Gao Han preferred to trust Joe Cole and did not give him many opportunities, more just arranging him to play in the cup. .
As a result, everyone has seen his performance in the League Cup and the FA Cup.
Yes, he wants to leave Chelsea. He does not deny this, because he feels that his value cannot be recognized here. In this case, he wants to be willing to recognize and even help him improve the value of the ball. The team goes.
For example, Manchester United!
Thinking of this, Lampard felt a puff of air in his chest, raised his right hand, and knocked on the door of Gao Han's office.
At this moment, he is even mentally prepared to break up with the young coach.
"Please come in." Gao Han's voice came from inside.
Lampard opened the door and found Gao Han standing next to a coffee machine beside the sofa, looking at him with a smile.
"Frank, please sit down." Gao Han was steaming with a cup of coffee in his hand.
When Lampard walked over after closing the door, he raised the coffee in his hand again and asked, "A cup?"
It seemed that he seemed very satisfied with the Nescafe coffee machine behind him.
"Still...don't." Lampard shook his head.
As a professional player, he always warns himself, try to touch this kind of drinks as little as possible.
"Don't worry, just a cup, I'll add some milk for you." Gao Han suggested.
Lampard thought for a while, and finally nodded.
Gao Han smiled and waited a while, then turned around and started tossing coffee.
Listening to the sound of grinding beans in the coffee machine, Lampard turned and looked at the wall behind, with a family portrait of Chelsea hanging on it.
He recognized it at a glance. It was taken in a Chinese restaurant on Christmas night. Unexpectedly, Gao Han actually hung him up on the wall, but it was a pity that he did not see the legendary head coach’s girlfriend that night.
According to Deco, it was a goddess who was as beautiful as an angel.
"I think Green Wald's photography skills are too bad." Alpine's voice suddenly sounded.
Lampard is a little strange, "Why?"
looks very good.
But Gao Han said in a serious manner: "He took me ugly."
Lampard stunned, and then burst into laughter. Is this a reason?
He really didn't expect Gao Han to have such a sense of humor.
He was even thinking that at the post-match press conference of the game on Boxing Day, he directly rejected Glenn Wald’s question. Could it be because of this photo?
If so, then the Guardian reporter is really unlucky!
Obviously it is an obligation to help people take pictures, but in the end they were rejected by others, really...
While Lampard smiled bitterly, a hot cup of fancy coffee with milk was placed in front of him, and Gao Han even pulled a flower on it, but... ugly.
"I'm still learning lately." Gao Han is not afraid to admit that he is not good at learning.
Lampard smiled slightly, picked it up and had a drink, it tasted really good.
After the two sat down face to face, they both drank coffee in silence, but soon Gao Han broke the silence.
"Frank, frankly, I know you are very dissatisfied with your situation in the team, and I can understand your feelings. Trust me, I have absolutely no malice."
Lampard nodded repeatedly, "I understand."
The conflict between him and Gao Han is purely a professional contradiction, there is no problem in private.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to sit face-to-face with Gao Han and drink coffee.
"In the past three weeks, there has been a lot of news about your transfer, and even I have let the team reject many price inquiries. Frankly speaking, I don’t want you to leave the team because you are very important in my plan. "Gao Han said sincerely.
"Me?" Lampard was a little surprised.
He would never have thought that Gao Han would say such things to him.
Is this a flicker?
But Gao Han nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, you know, I never lie, especially to my players."
"But I can't understand." Lampard shook his head.
"Then I will show you something."
Gao Han said, he took a thick stack of materials from the sofa next to him and sent it directly to Lampard.
The Chelsea midfielder took it and turned it over, his brows frowned immediately.
This material is a detailed analysis of him. Not only his every game, but even his usual training, there are relevant data and analysis, and some of them are even deep enough to surprise Lampard himself.
"A team cannot rely on one set of tactical packages to beat the world. When I was at Atletico Madrid, I created three different sets of technical and tactical play for the team, and even more changes in local details."
"At present, we only have a mature style of play, which is the one that is currently the main league. As you know, it is very stable and the players perform very well, so without injury, it is difficult for me. Make adjustments to the team’s play style, especially when the team’s performance is so stable and the players are playing better and better now."
Gao Han’s explanation is really straightforward and frank.
Lampard, as a player who has been in the professional league for many years, of course can understand the intention of the head coach.
It can even be said that as any head coach, it is impossible to adjust the team's starting lineup or change the team's play at this time, unless he does not want to produce results.
But Alpine is obviously not good, because the huge investment of 200 million euros this summer forced him to produce corresponding results after the end of the season, otherwise, the English media alone would be enough to drown him.
Therefore, Lampard agrees with Gao Han's explanation.
It's one thing to agree, but it's another to accept it, especially when it's about one's own interests and career prospects.
"The material you saw was tracked by the analysis team at the beginning of the season. I have always believed that you will be the key to our team’s transformation because of your back-in and you’re offensive. And the characteristics of defense, as well as the ability to execute tactics in the game, are all admirable."
"So, in the cup matches, I have been constantly adjusting and changing the team's style of play. I hope that I can use the cup match to blend in a set of technical and tactical styles that are different from those of the league. I believe you have seen the effect."
It was at this moment that Lampard really understood the intention of the head coach.
The league wants to produce results, the technical and tactical play and the main lineup must remain stable, so the cup is used to try to change.
and it still revolves around Lampard.
This immediately made Lampard's heart warm. It turned out that he was not as he had previously imagined in the mind of the head coach. He had no status.
"You have to believe me, Frank, I will not give up any player, especially a player as good as you." Gao Han still said very sincerely and sincerely, "Although I can't promise you anything now, I hope you Understand, you are very important in my mind."
"Not only this season, not just the League Cup and the FA Cup. We are going to play the UEFA Cup this season, and we will play the Champions League next season. You will definitely become a vital member of our team. ."
