Chapter 78 Second Hand Preparations
Three days later, in the twenty-third round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Huelva away.
Two consecutive away games, from the northwest of Spain to the southwest of Spain, traveling back and forth, Huelva does not even have an airport, so he can only fly to Seville, and then travel 80 kilometers by bus, which makes Atletico Madrid exhausted.
But what's more terrible is that the home team Huelva is known as the defensive king of the La Liga.
In the 22 rounds of La Liga this season, Huelva only conceded ten goals, which is the team with the fewest conceded goals in La Liga.
What's more, at their Colombino Stadium, Huelva only conceded two goals.
It is entirely conceivable how difficult it is for this team and this home court.
In the first round match between the two sides, Huelva was a guest at the Calderon Stadium. With a sharp counterattack, he defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0, and Zambrano's team suffered a two-game losing streak.
This time, in the away game, Gao Han also learned lessons and firmly controlled the situation of the game, but he did not dare to make rash advances.
The game was played very hard, the home team defended impeccably, but the visiting team never found a way to score.
It was not until the eightieth minute that Gao Han gave it another go.
After Kiko replaced Torres, he once again used four skill cards in one go.
This kind of desperate play finally allowed Atletico Madrid to tear apart Huelva's goal in the 89th minute when Hugo Leal made a wonderful pass from the front of the penalty area and passed the defender. line of defense.
Under the blessing of Samsung's confrontation card, Kiko suppressed the opponent's central defender with his tyrannical body, pushed in front of the goal, and helped Atletico Madrid score the winning goal.
One to zero!
Another narrow victory!
But no matter what, the three points were finally won.
With two consecutive victories, Atletico Madrid scored six points, and the league points reached 25 points. They finally escaped the relegation zone, surpassed Elche, and ranked seventeenth in the league.
Although it is still not out of danger of relegation, at least, the team's performance has improved a lot.
But Gao Han couldn't help but start to think about a very serious problem.
Break the dense defense!
The biggest difference between a professional team and an amateur team is that the tactics are more professional, more targeted, and quicker to respond.
In the last game against Celta, Atletico Madrid's offense was slow to be effective.
In this game, Huelva immediately followed suit and caused Atletico Madrid a lot of trouble.
Gao Han also has to be aware of a very serious problem, that is, when encountering such a team with excellent defense and a tight formation, whether it is an offensive card or an assault card, the effect is very limited.
Under such circumstances, even if he raised his attack card to four stars, five stars, or even six stars and seven stars, it would be hard to say how effective it would be.
After all, no matter how good the skill card is, it has to be applied to the players, right?
He must have second-hand preparations!
With certainty in mind, Gao Han immediately found the assist card in the store of the coaching system.
"One-star assist card, which slightly improves the player's ability to pass and threaten the ball. Duration: ten minutes."
The so-called threat ball is the kind of pass that teammates can shoot immediately after receiving the ball.
Although it's only one star, if used well, it should be very threatening.

"Atletico Madrid's dense defense is very problematic!"
When the Sheets defeated Huelva in an away game, Celta's head coach Victor Fernandez was also paying attention to the progress of the game and got the battle report as soon as possible.
"Whether it's Villa or Torres, under the intensive defense, the effect is greatly reduced, and the performance of Hugo Leal, whom Gao Han trusts, fluctuates, and it is difficult to reassure people."
The assistant is also analyzing Atletico Madrid's current problems.
"Although in the past two games, Hugo Leal helped Atletico Madrid win two key games with one pass and one shot, but looking at these two games, his performance is hardly satisfactory. .”
Victor Fernandez agreed with the assistant's judgment.
Not to mention the game against Huelva, Victor Fernandez was deeply touched by the game against Celta.
The Portuguese genius got a lot of opportunities throughout the game. Gao Han had a lot of trust and support for him, but his performance was very sluggish. Facing Giovanella and Wagner, he had no chance at all.
It can even be said that if it weren't for the goal at the last moment, he would be dead!
The same was true for the match against Huelva.
No head coach would bet the fate of the team on such a player. Who knows when he will work and when he will not work?
However, Gao Han doesn't have many cards in his hand now, so he probably has to continue to trust Ugo Leal.
The Portuguese saved the team in two consecutive games, and his popularity is booming, so he can't use it.
In this way, things are much easier to handle.
Victor Fernandez grinned, "We will play Atletico Madrid in the middle of the week, let's continue to guard against death and let them break through!"
The assistant nodded hurriedly.
Strictly guarding against death, this is Celta's forte.
Whether it is Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Deportivo and Valencia, they all died of this trick.
"For the next three days, focus on practicing defense... and counterattack!"

Wednesday, February 7th.
The blue sky in Madrid does not have a cloud, and the sun in winter makes people lazy, not to mention how comfortable it is.
Gao Han appeared early in the Mahadahnda Sports City.
It has been more than half a month since he took over the team as the acting head coach, and everyone in the sports city has long been accustomed to his presence. The impression of this young head coach is not to mention how good it is up.
No way, who made him win four consecutive victories after taking over the team?
And each of these four games is a tough battle!
Although everyone doesn't say it, everyone knows that Atletico Madrid can have such a reborn performance, thanks to Gao Han.
Therefore, many of Gao Han's ideas were implemented smoothly.
For example, he resisted all opinions and canceled the pre-match centralized system, allowing players to still live in their own homes the day before the game.
This provision was immediately welcomed by the players.
But not everyone benefits from it.
For example, Carlos Marchena, a native Spanish central defender who has just arrived and still lives in a nearby hotel.
When Gao Han arrived at the Sports City, he was running around the training ground, and he seemed to have been running for a while.
At this time, Gao Han suddenly remembered that Marchena's information mentioned that he can also kick the midfielder, has excellent running ability, and has a wide range of activities.
"Hello, Carlos!" Gao Han walked over.
"Hey, good morning, sir." Carlos Marchena stopped immediately.
Gao Han smiled slightly, "Today is the competition day."
"Well, I know." Marchena nodded.
"I plan to arrange for you to start!" Gao Han said again.
Marchena was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, "Thank you."
It has been a week since I came to Atlético de Madrid. When I played Huelva in the last game, because it was an away game and Marchena had just arrived, Gao Han didn't arrange him to start.
But now it's been a week of joint training, and it's time to let him out for a walk.
"With Ibić, against Celta, the game is not easy to play, you have to keep your spirits up and adjust your state."
Marchena suddenly understood that the coach was referring to his laps.
"Sir, don't worry, this is just a warm-up and will not affect my game state."
Seeing that Marchena was so confident, Gao Han also nodded and didn't say anything more.
He believes in self-discipline and giving players trust, so he canceled the pre-match centralization system, and naturally he will not ask Marchena to do whatever he wants. As long as it does not affect the state or the team, he can do whatever he wants.
"Looking back, I will ask Sergio to give you a copy of Catania's information. Take a closer look and learn more about him."
Marchena nodded immediately.
At yesterday's preparation meeting, Gao Han had already highlighted the threat of Catania.
Although Catania is a Brazilian player, he was selected for the Spanish national team. He is not tall, but he is very comprehensive, with strong scoring ability, good impact, speed and footwork. He is a very threatening killer.
"I judge that Celta's attack must fall on Catania, and it will be up to you then!" Gao Han encouraged.
Ibić is tall and not good at dealing with players of Catania's type.
In the first round of the match between the two sides, Santi Denia's performance could not convince Gao Han, so this time, he plans to try Marchena to see how it works.
"Well, I understand." Marchena nodded.
"I believe that I will not misread the wrong person!"
Marchena didn't answer, but he looked happy.
Gao Han didn't continue to delve into this topic, but moved to other aspects.
"How? Have you found a house?"
"Well, I contacted several places, and I plan to rent a house with you in the opposite community."
"Well, it's nice there."
The location Gao Han rented is very good, just across the road from the Sports City, plus Torres, Villa, Xavi Alonso and others have all moved in one after another, attracting more and more interest from Atletico Madrid players .
"I might move in a day or two."
"Well, if you need help, please come to me as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you sir."
After Gao Han made a gesture of impoliteness, he turned and walked towards the training building.
Marchena stood behind him and watched him leave quietly, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
He is only twenty-three years old!
My goodness, half the players on the team are older than him.
Even Marchena himself was twenty-one years old, only two years younger than Gao Han.
But Gao Han is the head coach of the team!
Every time Marchena sees Gao Han, he really feels absurd. This is the youngest head coach he has ever met in his career, even in the youth team.
But Gao Han took over Atletico Madrid, the third largest club in Spain, although he was only acting as an agent.
What surprised him even more was that he could clearly feel the admiration that every player in the team had for Gao Han.
Before taking over the team, Atletico Madrid was deep in the relegation zone, and lost 0-2 at home to Vallecano in the first round of the Copa del Rey. The whole team can be said to be precarious and may capsize at any time.
But half a month later, four games, four consecutive victories, the Copa del Rey was successfully reversed, and the La Liga also successfully got rid of the quagmire of the relegation zone.
Marchena is not the kind of fledgling professional player, so he is very clear that Gao Han's prestige in the team and the love in the hearts of the players are all based on solid results.
This is even more commendable!
Even his own agent, the famous Quilin, was full of praise for him.
To be able to play in such a head coach and such a team, Marchena feels very good.
The only hidden danger is that after the end of this season, his agency career will expire.
By that time, who will take over Atletico Madrid?
