Chapter 799

As soon as I got to the door of the coach's office, Gao Han noticed sabaleta and made a sign to him, indicating that Argentines would wait for him in the office for a few minutes, and this side would be ready soon.

Sabaleta nodded and walked to the coach's office next door.

This is a simple office, a desk with a laptop, a TV set on the wall, a tactical blackboard and a sofa for guests. These are the standard accessories of the head coach's office.

Compared with his predecessor Mark Hughes, perhaps the biggest difference in the alpine office is the tea set on the tea table and the coffee machine in the corner. The existence of these two things makes the air of the office seem to be filled with the smell of tea and coffee.

Sabaleta went to the sofa and sat down, only to see a stack of materials on the coffee table, with the mark of Jorge Mendes agency on the cover. You don't have to guess, it must be the material of the players. Sabaleta can't help thinking of the rumors outside. It's said that Manchester City intends to introduce several substitutes and rotation players.

As a member of the team's dressing room, sabaleta is very clear about the current situation in the dressing room. Headed by Harvey Alonso, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, they are all the legitimate members of the high cold and always support the head coach unconditionally. The players such as kompani and sturrich are all valued by the high cold this season, and they are also the irons of the head coach.

However, Manchester City's dressing room is not monolithic. Steven Ireland has recently begun to be a bit insidious to the coaching staff. In private, he has not criticized the head coach's cold strategy of employing people, as if it was the stupidity of the coaching staff not to use his best player of last season.

As an outsider, and not the head coach's lineage, sabaleta always keeps away from these things.

But at this moment, seeing this pile of player materials, sabaleta is more or less nervous.

Is it for the sake of transfer that Gao Leng brings himself here?

When sabaleta was uneasy, the open door was dark, and the head coach Gao Han walked in quickly.

"I'm sorry, Pablo. It's a long time." Gao Han apologizes as soon as he enters the door.

Sabaletta quickly shook his head and said, "you are very kind, Mr. Gao Han."

According to the time, it's already sabaleta's free time outside the training time of the team. It's natural for him to stay in the office for a few minutes and apologize.

But the most important thing for the head coach is authority. How dare sabaleta accept it?

Cold is not much to say, clean up the sofa and tea table, began to boil water, ready to make tea.

Sabaleta is sitting face-to-face. Although he has been playing for half a year, there are few opportunities to sit face-to-face and talk like today, especially under the current situation.

"Pablo, since December, there has been a tense schedule before and after Christmas, followed by a week of double matches in January. As a result, I have no time to stop and think about a lot of things. Some things I should have done long ago have never had a chance to do."

Sabaleta nodded, "there is no winter break, this has always been the Premier League's most troublesome place."

Gao Hanxin sighed with the same feeling, "after the winter break, I've been looking for a chance to have a good talk with you."

Sabaleta managed to squeeze out a smile and didn't know what the coach wanted to talk to him about.

Just at this time, the water was boiling. The high cold poured a cup of boiling water for sabareta. After cleaning the tea set, he began to make tea. Soon, a faint aroma of tea permeated the whole office.

"I heard that you played in midfield before?" Gao Han is making tea skillfully in his hand. He seems to ask casually.

"Well, yes."

"Can you tell me about it?" Alpine asked with concern.

Sabareta was a little puzzling, but after thinking about it, he nodded his head and said: "since I began to receive football training, I have been playing in the middle and front court, as well as in the San Lorenzo youth training camp. When I entered the first team, I played in midfield and delayed midfield, but later I became a right winger, and then I became a right back and joined the Spaniard team."

San Lorenzo is a professional team in Argentina. Sabaleta came from the youth training camp of this team.

Gao Han nodded slightly, did not immediately express his position, but looked deeply at sabareta, who was sitting opposite and waiting for his mouth, and said gently, "there is something I want to discuss with you."

"You said Sabaletta was calm on the surface, but he was not calm at all.

"I'll think about it. The next game is Southampton. Let's try one back."

"Me?" Sabaleta was surprised, forgetting that he had not played in this position for many years.

Gao Han nodded, "listen to me, the reason why I think so is mainly because I think you can be competent."

After a pause, Gao Han continued: "Mascherano's position in the right centre back, whether it's his tackle and pressing, or his sense of position, is very reassuring. In this position, one-on-one defense is very important, but your characteristic is a large range of running, especially the running without the ball on the field, and you have a strong sense of meeting your teammates, This is very important in the midfield

"Moreover, your ability to give the ball is also very stable, so considering the overall situation, I hope you try the single back position

Sabaleta was confused, and some didn't know what to give.

Long before Gao Han came to Manchester City, he often heard about his legendary deeds, especially his love of transforming players.

Kaka, needless to say, Marcos Senna is a classic of high cold. Later, FIGO was transformed in the period of Inter Milan, Schweinsteiger was transformed in the period of Bayern Munich, and right back Rahm was also transformed into a middle back.

After coming to Manchester City, Gao Han carried forward his characteristics of transforming players. First, he transformed Harvey Martinez from midfield to centre back. Then he transformed Mascherano into a defender. Now he wants to transform himself into a midfield

To tell you the truth, sabaletta really has mixed feelings in his heart, and he doesn't know how to answer them.

However, if you think about it further, you really have to admire the cold.

Marcos Senna, FIGO, Schweinsteiger and other players have been transformed very successfully by him. Once they become the top European stars, it is needless to say that now Harvey Martinez in the team plays as a central defender. He seems to be a kind of defensive commander-in-chief and has won unanimous recognition.

Although Mascherano is a pity, he has to admit that in the back line, some of his shortcomings have been covered up, but his advantages have been magnified, especially in the cold three four three play, the position of right centre back makes Mascherano shine, showing no loss to his midfield.

It can happen to others, sabaleta can be a spectator, but now it will happen to himself, which makes Argentines have to be careful.

He is very clear that Gao Han is looking for a substitute for Xavi Alonso. Although Michael Johnson is very important, he is still young and can't take on a big responsibility. But in the second half of the game, the match is more and more important. Gao Han has to be on guard against some games when Xavi Alonso is absent and make some preparations in advance.

However, sabaleta is also very clear that in the cold 343 formation, there is no standard right back. Even if he is arranged to start, he is more with bridge to form the two wings of the big diamond midfield, that is, the position of the right avant-garde.

If you can really show in the position of the rear waist, you may get more room to play, or even play a new field in this way, just like Schweinsteiger in Munich, Bayern.

All of the above, in sabaleta's mind, let him make a decision quickly.

"I listen to you, Mr. Gao Han. I'll fight wherever you say." Sabaletta returned professionally.

And that's what the cold wants.

All along, Gao Han likes to use this kind of versatile all-round player.

…………

…………

The next afternoon, at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton.

Gao Han stood in front of the coach of the visiting team, looking relaxed and watching the match on the court.

Southampton are still struggling, even if the score is 4-0.

In this game, Manchester City played as a full-time substitute, with sabaleta as the team's trailing midfield, partnering with Elano, Michael Johnson and Petrov in the front midfield.

The front Trident is a combination of Adam Johnson, Jo and Sturridge.

After many years of absence, sabaleta returned to the back midfield position. He is conscientious and treads on thin ice. However, due to the weak strength of Southampton, Manchester City performed very well. The Argentine midfield also showed quite good strength. The pass was very steady. There was no mistake in the whole game. He also planned several threatening attacks.

This makes the cold on the sidelines nod.

"It's just a game, and the saints' strength is not as good as before, so we still need to investigate again." Brian Kidd is more cautious.

As a more traditional head coach, Brian Kidd doesn't like this kind of move to transform the players, but when Gao Han makes a decision, he can only listen to it.

What's more, in this respect, the high cold is also well-known outside, familiar with.

"In this game, he basically completed the task I told him, with strong execution, good running without the ball, timely response and steady passing several times. If I remember correctly, he didn't make a mistake in passing the ball once, so I feel that he may not be able to play in this position."

In the back position of the 343 formation, it requires a certain defensive ability, as well as a stable pass and ball, but also to be able to meet teammates, sabaleta is in line with the requirements of this position.

Of course, judging from this game, he didn't have a brilliant performance.

On the contrary, the saints left a deep impression on the cold.

Especially in the second half, Manchester City had already led by four goals, but Southampton still refused to give up. They were always pressing for and looking for opportunities to counterattack. Gao was very appreciative of the team's fighting spirit.

"This team is really tenacious, the strength is not bad, why will be reduced to the third level league?" The cold is full of doubts.

He can still remember clearly that when he was in charge of Chelsea, Saint Southampton's strength was very good in the Premier League.

It's only a few years since I lost the League one in the third level.

"Due to the debt crisis, the financial and management of the team have affected the competitiveness of the team. Later, after restructuring, the team was demoted from the championship to the top one. Now, after debt restructuring and being acquired by foreign consortia, it is estimated that it will recover soon."

Gao Han nodded.

At this time, Southampton launched a counterattack on the court, passed the ball to a winger, who started the counterattack with the ball. In the one-on-one situation, Southampton broke through David Dunn's defense and sent the ball into the restricted area, while Saint forward Lambert, who had been looking for opportunities in the front court, came to beat the defenders, One shot into Joe Hart's goal.

One to four, the saints pull back.
