Chapter 91 I Can't Be Wrong!
"Marcos, let me tell you one more time."
Jorge Mendes once again carefully reminded the Brazilian player sitting next to him in a taxi from downtown Madrid to Majadaenda.
"It's Atlético de Madrid. Even though they've been relegated, they're still the third most traditional club in Spain. You have to abide by their rules. You have to obey the coach's arrangements. Don't mess around, you know?"
Marcos Senna nodded hurriedly.
He now finally believes that Jorge Mendes is really going to make him go to the Spanish giants.
Atlético de Madrid, he had heard of this team when he was in Brazil, a very good team, but accidentally relegated.
Moreover, he has also read reports about Atletico Madrid from the newspapers recently, and heard that they have won consecutive victories and performed quite well.
In any case, with his identity background and professional experience, he would laugh at any professional team in Europe, let alone a giant like Atletico Madrid.
However, this reminder from Jorge Mendes inevitably made him a little nervous.
Not to mention Atletico Madrid, even an agent like Mendes was still beyond his reach yesterday.
But now, they were sitting in the back row of the same taxi, and they were no longer so superior.
As for Atletico Madrid, which exists like a legend, and their head coach...
Marcos Senna is having a hard time keeping himself from being nervous.
"What? Nervous?" Jorge Mendes noticed.
Since picking up the plane, the Brazilian has always been sitting upright, sitting in the taxi, putting his hands on his knees, not daring to move, rubbing his palms from time to time, this March day, he still bleeds Khan, it's obvious that you are nervous.
Marcos Senna nodded, really nervous.
How can you not be nervous?
Suddenly, overnight, he went from a player who couldn't play in the Brazilian league to a top European team for trial training. Whoever changed this would have to be nervous.
And he's in awe of the head coach he's about to meet.
Because he knew that it was a sentence from the Atletico Madrid coach that brought him to Spain.
And then, maybe because of his words, the life of his family will be completely changed.
So, he really couldn't help being nervous.
"You can't do this. If you are nervous, you can't show your strength. If you can't show your strength, what can you do to impress the head coach and make him agree to sign you?"
"I know." Marcos Senna nodded, "I... will not be nervous once I'm on the court."
Yeah?
Jorge Mendes is a bit skeptical, but there's nothing he can do about it.
Whether Marcos Senna can stay at Atletico Madrid, he doesn't have much hope, and even he doesn't care at all, because for him, the real reward is to use this trial training to get in touch with Atletico Madrid .
With this relationship, it will be much easier to introduce players in the future.
But Marcos Senna thinks otherwise.
He knew very well that this was his only chance to change the fate of himself and his family, and he had to seize it.
Now that he has come to Spain and Europe, he doesn't want to go back.
He wants to take his family and get rid of that damned slum!

Gao Han came to the training ground early as usual, put on his black sultry training suit, and directed his assistants and staff to set up the training ground.
There are also some players who came to the training ground early and are consciously warming up.
The day after tomorrow, the team will play against Real Mallorca at home. Everyone in Atletico Madrid is holding back their energy and wants to win this opponent at home.
Therefore, there was a strong desire to compete in the entire sports city.
"Good morning, Mr. Gao Han!"
Gao Han looked over and saw Jorge Mendez standing outside the barbed wire with a smile and calling him.
A dark-skinned but solid-looking Marcos Senna stood beside him.
"Hey, Jorge!"
Gao Han waved his hand, and explained to Cantarero a few more words before walking over.
"Mr. Gao Han, he is Marcos Senna."
When Marcos Senna saw Gao Han, his first feeling was shock.
Young, so young!
With Gao Han's appearance, he is definitely younger than him!
Is he really the head coach of Atletico Madrid?
"Marcos...Marcos!" Mendes was depressed when he saw Marcos Senna in a daze.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Gao Han!" Marcos Senna reacted, and immediately turned pale with fright.
He could feel the awe of Mendes when facing the cold.
The person who can become the head coach of Atletico Madrid, no matter how young, is not something he can underestimate.
On the contrary, he must always remind himself that it is this young man who controls his destiny!
"It's okay, Marcos, welcome to Atletico Madrid!" Gao Han smiled and shook hands with Marcos Senna.
Said, Gao Han turned his head back, "Sergio!"
Garcia heard the shout and ran over immediately, "Boss."
"Marcos Senna, as I mentioned to you, you take him to the locker room and ask Anthony to prepare a set of equipment for him, and he will train with us these two days."
Anthony Lilalandi, Atletico Madrid's jersey equipment manager.
Sergio Garcia looked at Marcos Senna, then at Gao Han, his face full of suspicion.
Before, the coaching staff did communicate about Marcos Senna.
Neither Sergio Garcia nor Cantarero are optimistic about Marcos Senna.
But I don't know why Gao Han is so optimistic about this player that he insists on arranging him for trial training.
There is no way, they are assistants, so they can only obey.
Watching Garcia lead off Marcos Senna, Jorge Mendes looked around.
"Mr. Gao Han, I heard that these two days are closed training, then I..."
"It doesn't matter, you can come in and out anytime."
"Oh, okay, then I will pick him up after training in the afternoon, thank you Mr. Gao Han."
"You're welcome."
...
Not long after, Garcia led Marcos Senna, who had already put on his jersey and boots, back to the training ground.
Jorge Mendes left anxiously.
He who often deals with Brazilian players knows very well that many Brazilian players have no rules at all and have to be careful.
Gao Han looked at Marcos Senna with great interest. He is not tall, but his muscles are very strong. He seems to have good resistance and is quite flexible. He is indeed a good body.
"You warm up first, then go back and train with the team."
But Marcos Senna shook his head and said: "No, sir, I don't need to warm up, I can train now."
No need to warm up?
Gao Han, Cantarero, Garcia and the nearby staff were all confused.
Is it common sense to warm up before strenuous exercise?
"Uh, no, I mean..."
"It's okay, warm up first, this is the rule."
Marcos Senna nodded in obedience.
When he ran to the side to warm up, Cantarero and Garcia came up.
"Are you sure, this kid has talent?"
Can a player who hasn't played even a game for more than a year and hasn't even proven himself in the Brazilian league so far have the strength to gain a foothold in Atletico Madrid?
They absolutely doubt it!
However, Gao Han is full of confidence.
"I'm one hundred percent sure."
He also looked at Marcos Senna, who was perfunctory during the warm-up, pointed to a nearby staff member, and motioned him to hurry up and supervise him, don't let this kid be sloppy.
"Even if he does well in training, I don't mind playing him the day after tomorrow."
"What?" Cantarero and Garcia lost their voices.
"You...are you crazy?" Cantarero blushed and pointed at Gao Han.
Even Garcia almost peed.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Gao Han patted Garcia's hand that came over to try the temperature of his forehead, "I'm awake!"
"Then you still..."
Gao Han pointed to his eyes, "I will never be wrong!"
This time, the two assistants were speechless.
They have been working together since August last year, selling Pino and Kubilo, introducing Villa and Xavi Alonso, promoting Antonio Lopez and Gabi, plus Pablo Ibañez and The introduction of Marchena during the winter break...
One by one, it all proves that Gao Han really didn't miss him.
For example, Pablo, the second team performed well. Later, after Ibić was injured, Gao Han let the veteran French central defender Jean Fernandez, who was on loan, not use it. He promoted Pablo to the top position and partnered with Marchena. The result was outstanding.
As for Marchena, let alone, the current main defensive force is not at all as depressed as it was in Benfica.
Therefore, Gao Han is indeed unique in terms of digging talents and training players.
But no matter what, it's impossible to turn a guy who hasn't played a professional game for more than a year, hasn't played a full season so far, and hasn't even been a main player, into Atletico Madrid's main midfielder overnight. Bar?
If you really want to do this, you are simply crazy!
The whole world is in chaos!
It is even completely conceivable that the entire Spanish media will fry the pot by then, and everyone will think that Gao Han must be crazy!
But the problem is, Gao Han is full of confidence!
With the previous successes, the assistants also took a wait-and-see attitude.
Anyway, there is still a trial training, let's take a look first.
...
After finally warming up, Marcos Senna can finally participate in training.
Atletico Madrid's training is obviously different from that of Corinthians. It is more disciplined, scientific and targeted.
In the first few training sessions, Marcos Senna was able to complete them quite well.
It can be seen that the basic skills are very solid, and he is a Brazilian player after all.
Later, when he participated in the group confrontation, Gao Han first placed Marcos Senna on the bench and did not let him play, but asked Garcia to talk to him about the rules, and asked him to take a good look at the sidelines and get familiar with him.
He didn't stop until halfway through the group confrontation.
"Juan, take a break first, let him go up and try!"
Gao Han called out captain Juan Aguilera and pointed to Marcos Senna.
"New kid, come on!" Aguilera took off his vest and handed it to Marcos Senna.
"Come here!" Gao Han waved.
"gentlemen!"
"Did you see that person?" Gao Han pointed at Harvey Alonso.
"Yeah." Marcos Senna nodded.
He had already noticed that this player is the core of Atletico Madrid's playmaker, and the pass organization and scheduling of the midfield all depend on him.
"You have two responsibilities, one is to protect him, and the other is to sweep the midfield and grab the ball, understand?"
Marcos Senna was taken aback, "Sir, but I played on the right side before."
"I know!" Gao Han looked at the Brazilian and smiled meaningfully, "But from now on, you kick the lower back!"
lower back?
Marcos Senna was completely dumbfounded.
He has never played in this position. Even in the Brazilian league, few teams have full-time defensive players in the midfield. He doesn't understand it at all.
But when things are coming to an end, you have to bite the bullet!
Thanks to [I am Xiaoqi], [Langqishan Road] and [Slimming Mouse] for their rewards!
