Chapter 366

In the coach's room of Harrington training ground, all the first-team coaches sat around the round conference table, looking dignified.

Although yesterday played Celtic that warm-up match to win finally, but actually won very fluke.

If it wasn't for the last ten minutes of the game, the team suddenly played a wave of offensive and scored two goals in a row, it is estimated that the final warm-up game will end in failure, which will be a heavy blow to the newly formed Chelsea.

Alpine also realized this, so it would use the skill card at the last moment.

But the problem has been exposed, and he must find a way to solve it.

"First of all, I have to apologize to you."

As the sponsor of the meeting and the head coach of the team, Gao was the first to speak.

In addition to cantarello, Sergio Garcia and other former partners, other former Chelsea coaches were surprised by Gao's sudden apology.

The manager wants authority. When will he apologize?

But familiar with the cold, familiar with Atletico Madrid people know that this is normal.

It's natural to apologize for doing something wrong.

"In the past, I really put too much energy on other places and neglected a lot of problems. It's my responsibility, so I'm here to apologize to you."

Gao Han's attitude is very sincere, let everyone believe that he is sincere.

Cantarello and Buena Ventura, sitting on his left and right sides, patted his hands on the table to signal that he would not apologize.

Since taking charge of the club, Gao Han has been in charge of the club. On the surface, he seems to have boundless scenery, but in fact, the bitterness is only known by the people inside the club.

After Abramovich's acquisition of Chelsea, the management is in turmoil, many things are in a state of stagnation, or even no management, which has brought great trouble and problems to the team.

After Gao Han took over, relying on his own contact with Abramovich and senior executives, he was able to act easily.

For example, the renovation of Harrington training ground includes the maintenance of geothermal system and drainage system, the renovation of players' and coaches' lunch break dormitories, and even the training equipment of gymnasium.

It can be imagined that if there is no high cold coming out, it will take some time to complete these tasks.

Not to mention the introduction of the team.

Under normal circumstances, the top management of the club should be responsible for the transfer, such as the chief executive. But everyone knows that Trevor Borch is already in trouble. How can he intervene in the transfer of the team?

To say the least, even if he is willing to intervene, on the one hand, he has no network resources; on the other hand, Abramovich is not at ease.

Therefore, this summer, every transfer of Chelsea was made by Gao Han himself, or even talked about in person.

A person's energy is always limited, alpine put a lot of energy in other areas, the team will certainly have omissions, this is also human nature.

"But fortunately, there is still a week to go before the start of the new season and we have a chance to make up for our mistakes

Alpine said here, looking at Sergio Garcia, who stood up with a deep understanding.

"I'd like you to watch a video of the competition first."

The crowd followed Sergio Garcia's gesture and looked at the big screen hanging on the wall, which soon began to play the game. The first paragraph was the process of losing the ball after being hit back by the opponent in the first half against Celtic.

From this game video, we can clearly see that when the opponent's ball is broken successfully, the defence of Chelsea is really too close, which leads to the opponent easily passing the ball to the back and then using the forward's speed to fight back.

But there is also a very obvious problem, is the position of goalkeeper Cudicini.

When Terry and Gallas pressed on, Cudicini was still standing in the small restricted area, which led to the gap between the goalkeeper and the back line was too large, which caused the other side to fight back successfully.

In fact, if Cudicini's position at that time could be a little ahead, even decisive, the goal could be avoided.

"The same scene is not only about the goal, but also about the other videos of the game."

As Sergio Garcia continued to play the highlights, everyone found out that there were three similar scenes against Celtic alone, only the other two were caught by opponents.

In addition, several other warm-up games also have the same problem. Even in the first warm-up game when the opponent was defeated 4-0, there were two times of the same situation, but the opponent's strength was too much, even the ball didn't pass well.

"Cudicini is a typical Italian goalkeeper. He is better at playing in the small restricted area and rarely appears in the big restricted area, let alone outside the big restricted area. Moreover, he basically does not participate in the team's passing and controlling the ball, because in their concept, it is too dangerous."

"When our formation is pressed forward as a whole, the gap between the defence and the goalkeeper is too big. As long as there is a passer and a speed player in the opponent's formation, they can basically grasp it

When people heard this, they realized the problem one after another.

Celtic although is the Su super team, but the strength is not weak, last season also reached the UEFA Cup final, but unfortunately lost to Porto, coach Martin O'Neill is also very strong.

And since O'Neal can see it, other Premier League teams will certainly find it.

Speed forwards are no stranger in the Premier League, and there is no shortage of midfield passers. Therefore, if this fatal loophole can not be made up as soon as possible, it will be a huge hidden danger for Chelsea.

"Is there a suitable goalkeeper in the transfer market at the moment?" Gao Han asked, frowning.

The team's overall formation has been running in for a long time and will not be changed easily, so we have to change the goalkeeper.

Sergio Garcia shook his head, "better goalkeepers are the pillars of their respective teams, certainly no one is willing to let go."

With that, he took out the information of a player on the big screen.

"Brad Friedel, American, 32 years old, was the best goalkeeper in the Premier League last season. Blackburn was able to finish sixth in the Premier League, which is a great credit to him At this point, Sergio Garcia suddenly grinned at the cold.

"You just made a lot of money for Blackburn in Duff's transfer. You should be able to persuade them to let him go

Everyone laughed and laughed.

Gao Han secretly gave Ferguson a black hand in Duff's transfer, which they all know. It is said that Ferguson was furious but had to buy it.

Gao Han ignored the jokes of his assistants. Instead, he took a quick look at Friedel's data.

"Strength: 155, potential: 160."

Looking at the data in detail, he thinks it is not particularly ideal.

Seeing the silence of the cold, Sergio Garcia understood and went on to the next one.

"Yossi jaskleinen, the Finnish goalkeeper, is 28 years old. With Bolton's promotion to the Premier League two years ago, he has performed well in the past two seasons. He is a very strong Nordic goalkeeper

The high cold is the eye of fire again, "strength: 152, potential: 155."

Looking at the data, I'm still not satisfied.

"Shay Given, 27, an Irishman, has played for Newcastle for six seasons. He has a lot of experience in the Premier League and has a stable performance. But you have offended the other three of the traditional top four in the Premier League. Are you sure you want to offend the Magpies again?"

The crowd burst into laughter again, and even Gao Han himself could not help smiling.

Facts have proved that Shay Given is indeed the strongest, with strength and potential as high as 165, and the data from all aspects are quite appropriate.

But when Gao Han saw the following two people choose, he hesitated.

One is an old acquaintance, former Barcelona goalkeeper Jose Manuel Reina.

The 21-year-old goalkeeper once served as the main force of Barcelona. When he was in charge of Atletico Madrid, Gao Han focused on his research. He was quick in reaction and decisive in attack. Moreover, he was born in Spanish youth training and had good skills at his feet, which was very in line with the requirements of Gao Han.

"After switching to Villarreal in 2002, Reina's performance has been very good, his value is rising, and it's not difficult to persuade Villarreal to let go, but whether he can adapt to the Premier League is also a problem

Reina's problem is that he is too young, and his performance in Barcelona is not ideal. He only played at a high level in Villarreal for one season.

From the point of view, the strength is 153, and the potential is 175, which is the highest among the people.

"Sebastian Frey, a 23-year-old French goalkeeper, plays for Parma. He is a very good goalkeeper in Serie A, and unlike other Serie A goalkeepers, he has a wider range of activities, but his performance is not stable

Sebastian Frey is the best of many candidates, surpassing given and Reina.

But he also has a problem. Although he played for Parma, he was loaned by Inter Milan for the last two seasons. It was not until this summer that Parma decided to buy him out, which is worth 22.5 million euros.

It is conceivable that it would be very difficult to persuade Parma to release him.

Even if Parma agreed, Chelsea would have to pay a huge price.

For these candidates, Gao has always felt that he is not particularly satisfied with all the problems, but he can understand that it is really difficult to find a suitable goalkeeper in the transfer market in such a short period of time.

As a last resort, Gao can only open the list of goalkeepers of the four major European leagues handed to him by Sergio Garcia and sweep them one by one, but they are disappointed until

"Strength: 175, potential: 180?"

Alpine suddenly in front of a bright, immediately into the detailed data interface, and then a closer look, he couldn't help laughing.

"Just him!"

…………

When Gao Han was discussing the goalkeeper issue in Harrington, the first round opponent of the Premier League in the new season, Liverpool head coach Houllier also got the latest warm-up information at Melwood training base of Northwest Liverpool.

Because it's the first round of the new season, and it's the high temperature that has made a name for itself in the past two years. In addition, Chelsea have invested 200 million euros in the summer transfer market. Although Hollier ridicules Chelsea as a mercenary, he doesn't dare to be careless.

He even arranged for his right-hand man, the famous Liverpool player Phil Thompson, to follow up the warm-up of Chelsea.

And the right-hand man also lived up to expectations. After watching the game between Chelsea and Celtic, he returned to Liverpool and immediately submitted a detailed game report.

"I found that there is a very, very fatal loophole in Chelsea. As long as we grasp the opportunity at Anfield, we will be able to make them come back

Phil Thompson said confidently（ (to be continued.)
