Chapter 483 I Have So Many Titles

Chapter 483 So I still have so many titles

The first practice after the Super Bowl, Gao Bo called the players to stand together before the practice.

Everyone knows that the head coach has something to say.

"After the Super Cup, I said we were going to defend the league title!!" Gao Bo said with a smile.

The players didn't speak, and they knew the coach's temper. When he had such a smile on his face, it was best not to interrupt him.

"I said this at the celebration after we won the championship last season, and now I say it again, you won't think I'm joking?"

It is even more impossible for the players to refute at this time. Even if there are players who thought their head coach was joking before, they can't say it at this time-how can there be such an honest person.

"The Champions League!! Yes, I know many of you can't wait to play the Champions League!"

"To be honest, so do I!" The smile on Gao Bo's face gradually disappeared, "But....I want to remind you! The league is the foundation!!! Before we can achieve results in the Champions League, we must first maintain our position in the league. Competitiveness! If someone is eager to play in the Champions League this season, and fails to work hard when they play in the league, this type of player will not get any chance!!!”

Gao Bo said in a stern tone.

Some Atlético Madrid players could not help shrinking their necks.

Some of the current Atletico Madrid players, after winning the league title with an unbeaten record last season, may have less desire for the league title, and most of them are focusing on the more attractive Champions League.

So Gao Bo must first give the players a shot.

"A lot of people in the outside world now think we can't defend our title successfully. They have listed a lot of reasons, and I have read them all. I have to admit that the reasons they said seem reasonable, and we are facing all kinds of difficulties. In the current league, we will be blocked much more than last season, and I hope you are mentally prepared. But just because defending the league title is difficult in one way or another, it is more worthwhile for us to defend it!"

Gao Bo supported his waist, then leaned forward slightly.

"We remained unbeaten in the 38 rounds of the league last season, and we even broke the record that had been in the dust for nearly 80 years! What does it mean to defend the championship in a mere league?"

"We beat Real Madrid and Barcelona in a row last season,

Why can they defend the title and why can't we? "

"Guys, the defending league champions are not as scary as they say. We have to show them that what Atletico Madrid does best is to create miracles!! Because we have such strength!"

After Gao Bo finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the team's training began.

From the training point of view, Gao Bo's remarks are obviously effective, and the players are more serious and active in training than usual.

Reigning the league title...that's a very challenging task.

......

The first game of the league was played on August 29th, a week away from now.

For Gao Bo, this week was not just about training.

On August 25th, Gao Bo and the general manager of the team, Gil Marin, went to the Council Hall of the King Power Square in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

At 17:45 CET that day, the draw for the 2011-12 UEFA Champions League group stage and the UEFA awards ceremony will be held here!

This is not the first time Gao Bo has participated in such a ceremony.

The last time was the Europa League, when he went to Monaco with the Luton boss.

However, the attention of the Europa League is obviously not as good as the Champions League!

Just a lottery ceremony, in China, CCTV will broadcast the whole process.

The last time Gao Bo went to participate in the Europa League draw, no one paid him any attention at that time. He was just the head coach of an inconspicuous small team. At that time, the media also believed that this team from England , I am afraid it will be a six-game losing streak in the group stage and then out, who will pay attention to them.

But now it was different. From the moment they appeared at the venue, the reporters who were waiting outside the venue swarmed and surrounded him.

This is the first time that a head coach with an oriental face has appeared in the Champions League, and it is no wonder that the media are so concerned about it.

It is not uncommon for players with oriental faces, but as an oriental, a Chinese, being able to lead the team to participate in the Champions League as a head coach has a completely different meaning.

As a player, a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, so you can see white people, black people, yellow people, and brown people on the football field. Each race has its advantages.

But you must rarely see other coaches in mainstream European football, right?

In European football, it is basically the world of white coaches.

Black coaches are rarely seen, and coaches of other races are completely extinct.

In fact, in the mainstream western world where white people are the majority, most popular sports are dominated by white head coaches. Not only football, but also basketball and rugby have this problem.

People of other skin colors can be physical coaches, tactical coaches, technical coaches... all kinds of coaches in the team, but they can't be the head coach.

This is a very subtle discrimination.

......

At the award ceremony, Gao Bo also met Duan Xuan, an old acquaintance.

When the two met in Monaco, there was a feeling of a fellow countryman seeing a fellow countryman.

And Gao Bo also readily agreed to Duan Xuan's temporary interview request.

"As the first Asian and Chinese to coach in the top five European leagues, the first non-white coach to win the Europa League, the third non-white coach to win the top five league titles, and now You are about to become the first Chinese head coach to lead the team to the Champions League and come to the draw for the Champions League, do you have any prospects for the Champions League this season?"

Gao Bo stared blankly at Duan Xuan.

The first Asian and Chinese to coach in Europe's top five leagues?

The first non-white manager to win the Europa League?

The third non-white head coach to win the top five league titles?

What the hell are these?

Duan Xuan obviously saw Gao Bo's reaction, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

During the World Cup, Duan Xuan obviously knew something about Gao Bo.

The high guide in front of him grew up in an orphanage since childhood, and the only tie in the country is the old couple Chen and his wife who have been taking care of them after retiring in Meizhou.

Therefore, Gao Bo, who has been floating overseas for nearly ten years, is not very clear about many things in China.

To be honest, these names are mentioned by the domestic media every day, and I don’t know where they got the information.

"Haha, these names are very popular in China."

Duan Xuan laughed.

Gao Bo laughed too.

Although he rarely returns to China, he still knows the character of the Chinese.

However, these names reminded him of the name of a character in an American TV series.

I am Daenerys Targaryen I Stormborn, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals, Roina and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Meadow, Freer of Slaves and Mother of Dragons ...

This one came out with a series of reported dishes.

Duan Xuan's question just made him think of this for the first time, so Gao Bo laughed.

"I didn't expect that I had so many titles... It's an honor and honor."

Gao Bo said with a smile.
