"Malpensa, I am finally back!"

Evra carried the luggage behind her shoulders, walked out of the airport exit, and looked around at the long-lost Milan Airport, feeling full of emotion in her heart.

Remember, the last time he came here was five years ago.

At that time, he was just an unknown man. He first played for Marsala at the third level in Italy, then was introduced by Monza at the second level and played for a year in this small town on the outskirts of northeast Milan.

He is no stranger to Milan, but rather close.

The last time he appeared in Malpensa, it was when he left Monza to join Nice, and since then he has been playing in France and he has never been here again.

What's interesting is that I have played in France for many years and played in European competitions in Monaco, but I have never met a team in Serie A. This has to be said to be a kind of fate.

When he left, he was just an unknown player, but now he has become a famous star in Europe.

Gao Han hand-picked, this is like a golden sign, making him extraordinarily dazzling.

But he is very sensible and understands that this is an affirmation, but it is also a pressure, and it should be a motivation.

Years have not come, but the layout of Malpensa has not changed much.

Evra came to the express parking lot familiarly and found the driver that Inter Milan arranged to come and receive.

"Welcome to Inter Milan, Patrick." The driver welcomed him in Italian.

"Thank you." Evra also replied in Italian.

Malpensa Airport is in the northwest of Milan, and Monza in the northeast is like a pair of horns on top of Milan, while Inter Milan’s Pinetina training base is just north of Milan.

After leaving the airport, take the a36 highway, then turn to the a9 highway and go north. After walking for a while, you will have to take a two-lane township highway before you reach the remote Pinetina.

Fortunately, it is not as good as Milan, and the traffic volume is not large, but the road is very smooth, and the walk is fast and stable.

Coming to Pinetina for the first time, Evra feels very fresh about everything.

Without the slightest style of a wealthy team, simply push and pull the door manually. The security room is next to it. The huge Inter Milan team logo is the best logo here, reminding all passers-by.

The parking lot is outside the training base, and everyone can only walk inside.

The area is small and the facilities are not particularly advanced, but it is very clean and tidy.

"We are dedicated to the training of the first team, and the training base of the youth team is elsewhere." The person receiving him explained.

The separation of the first team from the youth academy is not uncommon.

Pinetina has a total of three training fields, two standard fields and one comprehensive training field.

"Mr. Gao Han meant to expand a small training field and use the open space in the middle of several fields."

Evra nodded. It has long been reported by the media that Gao Han advocated small venue training when he was at Atletico Madrid. After going to Chelsea, Harrington's facilities were very simple. Gao Han once wanted to build a small venue, but later resigned. That's all there is to it.

After visiting the training ground, I went directly to the locker room.

At this time, Evra felt the difference between giants and other small teams.

Even if the team has not started training, but including the locker room, and even the entire training building has been cleaned up.

In the dressing room, all the players have their own wardrobes with their names posted on them.

And next to the locker room is under construction and renovation.

"This will be transformed into a player's activity room, a entertainment space dedicated to the players, including the coaching staff will not come here, and you can completely transform your own private space according to your own wishes."

When Evra heard this, she couldn't help but admire again and again.

Such a move is very humane.

"The players’ lunch break dormitory is upstairs, the cafeteria is over there, and the coaching staff’s office is opposite."

Following the reception staff's gestures, Evra could easily identify the facilities of the training base.

"We have more than one hundred employees here, and each of them is a loyal Inter Milan fan. The core purpose of everyone’s work is to make every player who comes here as if they have returned to their homes and can devote themselves to them. Go to training and competition."

Evra nodded her head again and again, and secretly praised her.

Really worthy of a century-old giant!

The two came to the office of the coaching staff and visited the coach's office.

But when they came to the door of the head coach's office, they saw the movement inside.

Evra looked in through the transparent glass of the door, surprised secretly.

The captain of Inter Milan, Zanetti, and Cannavaro, the main defender of the Italian national team, sat inside.

It looks like they are communicating with the head coach Gao Han.

This is the first time Evra has seen Alpine at such a close distance, young and handsome, and there is a convincing confidence in his gestures, especially when every word he says makes Sane sitting opposite him. Di and Cannavaro nod frequently.

This is the charm of the top European marshals!

"Italy's defense is mainly about recovery, that is to say, after losing the ball, shrink back to its own half, even in the 30-meter area, to organize a tight defensive formation, let the opponent attack, and then destroy , Then fight back."

In the head coach’s office, Gao Han faced Guardiola, Cantarello, Cannavaro and Zanetti expounding some of his thoughts on Inter Milan’s tactical thinking for the new season. He needs these people to coordinate in training. Implementation in the game.

"But my idea is not. Regardless of where the ball is lost, start from the place where the ball is lost, start with the place where the ball is lost, and organize the counter grab and oppressive defense at the first time. This requires every player to have a common sense. , Work together."

"But the problem is also relatively big. For example, in the counter-grab, the center and front field will definitely be pushed up the first time. The two full-backs actively participate in the attack, and it is difficult to return to the position in the first time. In this case, Two central defenders are very important."

Everyone present is a famous player with many battles. Cannavaro and Zanetti have been immersed in Italian football for many years, and it is easy to catch the hidden dangers mentioned in the words of Alpine.

"If the frontcourt is not pressured enough and the opponent can make a long pass, then the defense line will be very dangerous." Cannavaro frowned and analyzed, "Even if there is no long pass, if our central defender is not able to insert it in time, talk to the midfielder. If the distance is too far, the opponent can easily use this gap to create opportunities."

"That's right." Gao Han praised.

Sure enough, he is one of the top central defenders in Italy, and he immediately saw the problem.

"But if the defensive midfielder has to keep a distance from the back line of defense at all times, it will definitely not work. For one thing, look forward to the back, and secondly, there is no way to step forward in time to support the pressure of the frontcourt." Guardiola also stood as a defensive midfielder. To analyze this problem.

"Yes." Gao Han smiled.

This is the benefit of top players transforming into head coaches. They have a lot of experience and experience.

"Therefore, this task can only be done by the central defender, so I want a central defender who can press up and has excellent defensive ability. When he presses up in the midfield, he also presses forward and fills in. The gap between the field and the guard."

At Atletico Madrid, this player is Marchena. At Chelsea, this responsibility is divided between Terry and Gallas according to the situation on the field, and Terry is more of it.

But in today's Inter Milan, I am afraid it is difficult to find a player capable of this role.

Guardiola, Cannavaro and others also realized what Gao Han meant.

Originally, Cannavaro was the most suitable candidate. His brave grabbing, outstanding anticipation, and frightening defensive ability all made him competent for this role.

But the problem is that as he gets older, his physical function has long been worse than before, especially after the injury, his physical function has declined a lot. This has caused his performance in Inter Milan to be criticized because his physical function has been compared. Not as good as his original style of play, but neither the coach nor the players made changes and adjustments accordingly.

To put it simply, Cannavaro can no longer fight bravely, he should transform into a delay.

Gao Han's remarks hit the nail on the head, allowing Cannavaro to immediately understand his own problems, unraveling the fog of the past two or three years, and revisiting his own crux.

He is still the same him, but he is old, not young anymore.

"Cordoba and Materazzi are more suitable, but one is short and the other is unstable, which is a headache."

Alpine's judgment also made Captain Zanetti empathize.

Cordoba is the best central defender last season, but he is limited by his height. If he plays with Cannavaro at the same time, the team's air defense will be a big problem. He encountered Juventus's Trezeguet. , Ac Milan’s Shevchenko, Gilardino and Grand Inzaghi will all be huge hidden dangers.

As for Materazzi, he is really eye-catching when he performs well, and he has a long pass, but once his brain cramps...

It is not difficult to see why Gao Han had to introduce another central defender.

"Some people say that my football philosophy is to pass control, but in fact it is not. For me, pass control is just a means. My real goal is to score goals. Passing control allows my team to better control the initiative of the game. , To organize an offensive with endless origins and plan a more threatening offense, nothing more."

From Gao Han's remarks, Cannavaro and Zanetti understood the coach's intentions more clearly.

His philosophy is to score goals, it is offensive football, passing control and high-position press is just a means for him to realize his philosophy.

The obvious point is that even if he came to Serie A, he came to this football country known for its shrinking defense and sharp counterattacks, and he was born to restrain his ideas, he still did not change his ideas and qualities.

On this point, regardless of success or failure, he is worthy of respect.

Of course, as for whether they can succeed, Cannavaro and Zanetti don't know, Guardiola and Cantarello don't know, and even Gao Han himself is not sure about it.

That's how the football game is ~lightnovelpub.net~ You have to play it before you know it.

But one thing is certain. Since Moratti and Inter Milan’s top executives unconditionally support Alpine, Zanetti and Cannavaro can only follow Alpine’s thinking as the two generals in the locker room. And willingness to execute.

This is their professional ethics as players.

What's more, in the past few years, Gao Han has been using his outstanding results to prove his coaching ability.

Therefore, Zanetti and Cannavaro, who made a special trip to suspend their vacation and rushed back to meet Gao Han, were very serious at the end of the conversation with Gao Han, and they would do their best to unconditionally support Gao Han's coaching in Inter Milan.

And this is exactly what Gao Han wanted.
