Back to Bernabeu?

Gao Han was a little surprised. He had never heard of this.

What's more, how could Florentino suddenly want to rely on a rookie like Zidane?

He was so confident that he would hand over the burden of Real Madrid to Zidane?

Zidane seemed to notice Gao Han's surprise, and immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Of course it's impossible to be the head coach."

After a pause, the Frenchman continued: "He said he hoped that I could be an assistant to the new coach. After accumulating some experience, he would have the opportunity to become the team's head coach."

After Gao Han heard this, he suddenly realized.

Isn't it?

What kind of wealthy family is Real Madrid?

How could Florentino feel at ease to hand over such a heavy burden to Zidane?

Besides, even if Florentino can trust Zidane, can the board of directors trust it?

"What do you... think?" Zidane asked looking at Gao Han.

Gao Han changed his mind and looked at Zidane, smiled slightly and said, "You should have the answer."

Given the friendship between Zidane and Florentino, if he wants to go back to Real Madrid to serve as an assistant coach, he still needs to ask Gao Han for advice? Shouldn't he agree at once?

In fact, as early as the second half of last season, Gao Han began to consciously cultivate Zidane. Many games were completed by him independently commanding, and no one else outside knew it at all, but Gao Han knew it in his heart.

Zidane has been dealing with football for decades, and as he said before, after returning to the familiar football field, he felt more and more that he could not live without football, so he wanted to try coaching, and once he tasted the taste of independent coaching, it would be difficult to bend down to be an assistant for others.

What's more, who is Zidane? One of the greatest legendary superstars in European football history.

Even if he is an assistant, he started by assisting Mourinho, and then Gao Han. Whether in terms of qualifications or ability, he has no reason to play a deputy to others. Wouldn't that be on the decline?

People go to high places and water flows to low places. Zidane is a proud person at heart, so he resists Florentino's proposal, but because of his sympathy, he wants to seek Gao Han's opinions.

"With your current ability, I feel wronged to be an assistant to others." Gao Han said lightly.

Why didn't Zidane know?

He served as assistants to Mourinho and Gao Han, and the most important thing was to learn things, and the purpose was to be able to teach alone in the future.

Especially in the last half year of Paris Saint-Germain, Gao Han gave him enough trust and support, and he also tried to be alone. He had ideas about coaching alone. Now, except Gao Han, there is no other person who can make him willing to be an assistant, even in Real Madrid.

"There are indeed teams who are in contact with me and invite me to coach." Zidane admitted.

"Ligue 1?"

"Yeah." Zidane nodded, "It's all the mid-level teams in the Ligue 1, and there's a mid-level team in the Premier League."

Gao Han is not only good at coaching players, but also good at coaching head coaches.

Under Gao Han's command, Emery, Guardiola, Tuchel and other first-line coaches in the top European football leagues were successively produced, which was well-known, which also attracted a lot of attention from Zidane.

The giant teams may not dare to take such risks and entrust the burden to a rookie like Zidane, but mid- and lower-level teams are completely likely to take risks, especially considering the superstar aura brought by Zidane, which is even more attractive.

"What is the coaching environment?" Gao Han asked.

Zidane shrugged, feeling helpless. The coaching environment of the mid- and lower-stream teams is definitely not much better.

This is also what he hesitated.

As a legendary superstar in the past, if he returns to serve as head coach, the first stop will be particularly important.

Once he steps on the first step, his path will be smoother next.

Just like Guardiola, he was at his peak when he debuted in Barcelona. Although his coaching ability is of course very important, the platform provided by Barcelona is also crucial.

Gao Han had been paying attention to Zidane's expression, knowing that he was confused at this moment and knew that he knew it.

"So are you interested in challenging someone with difficulty?"

"Is the challenge difficult?" Zidane was a little surprised.

Gao Han raised his lips, "How about coaching Chinatown?"

"What?" Zidane was shocked. "How is this possible?"

The French superstar shook his head vigorously, "I? I coach Chinatown? Are you kidding?"

He even thinks it is unlikely that he can even speak out.

Why?

Chinatown has achieved outstanding results in the past few years, and has entered the Champions League qualification zone for three consecutive seasons. Although it only won fourth place in the league, it can beat teams such as Valencia and Sevilla, which shows Chinatown's overall competitiveness.

He competed in the Champions League in two seasons, one quarter-final and one quarter-final, and the results were excellent in both times.

In this case, Chinatown's choice should not be a rookie no matter how you look at it. At least Emery, Pellegrini, Marcellino and other head coaches who have proved themselves in the La Liga and have coaching experience.

But Zidane didn't believe it at all, but Gao Han seemed very serious. His serious appearance made Zidane realize that Gao Han was not joking, but was really sending an invitation.

"You...I..." Zidane suddenly became stammering.

He was caught off guard.

Gao Han smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous, don't rush to agree or refuse, listen to me."

Zidane took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at Gao Han seriously.

"I know what you will say to me. You will tell me that you are a rookie with no coaching experience and have no experience of being alone at all. You will also tell me that Chinatown has been successful in the past few years and you are very doubtful if you can do it because you feel that you are not fully prepared."

"At least," Gao Han looked at Zidane with a smile, "you don't feel like you're meeting the requirements of coaching the Champions League team."

The Frenchman smiled helplessly. What else could he say?

What he thought in his heart was basically hit by Gao Han.

"You know, in 2008, Barcelona had been asking me to coach, but I refused, but recommended Guardiola. Laporta was very suspicious at the time, but I told him that Guardiola would definitely be a qualified Barcelona coach."

"After receiving the invitation from Barcelona, ​​Guardiola's first reaction was exactly the same as you are now. He was very resistant. He told me that he was not ready yet. He was worried that he would bring Barcelona into the ditch. You know, he is a legendary star in Barcelona and he is afraid of becoming a sinner in Barcelona."

Zidane also understood that feeling.

Although the legendary superstar transformed into a head coach, there are certainly advantages, but psychological burdens also exist.

"But I told him that only by going out bravely and trying bravely can he know what the future will be."

Gao Han said this, his eyes fell to Zidane and said earnestly: "Today, I will give you this sentence, and I also want to tell you that I can never be wrong in seeing people. You have the ability to coach Chinatown."

Zidane was a little flattered about Gao Han comparing him with Guardiola.

Perhaps he is more prominent than Guardiola in his professional resume, but in terms of coaching, he is just a rookie who has just debuted, but Guardiola is already a successful and famous world-class coach.

He understood Gao Han's meaning. Guardiola was also a rookie when coaching Barcelona, ​​but...

“For a long time next, I will only focus on two things.”

Gao Han seemed to have noticed Zidane's concerns and continued to say, "First, continue the youth training plan of Chinatown, mainly to promote youth training in China, and at the same time vigorously promote comprehensive cooperation between China and Spain in youth training. The second thing is to manage Chinatown well."

"With me behind the scenes, Cantalero serves as technical director, if you want, Sergio Garcia, Buenaventura and Pedro Haro continue to be your assistants, and you can even invite Maclale to assist you, what else do you have to worry about?"

I have to say that Gao Han's words really made Zidane very moved.

Gao Han is like his mentor, Cantalero is also the leading technical director in Europe. Sergio Garcia, Buenaventura and Pedro Harro are all Gao Han's gold medal assistants, and they are all top coaches in the industry. Zidane has worked with him for two years and knows better than anyone else.

In the past few years, what has been praised by people in the circle most is the patience of the head coach.

From general manager Armando Marcos to technical director Cantalero, they are full of trust and support for Pochettino. If it were other teams, Pochettino would have been out of class several times long ago.

Judging from the situation in these seasons, Chinatown is undoubtedly one of the teams with the best coaching environment in European football.

Now, coupled with Gao Han’s personal promise, Zidane should be said to be very tempted.

However, even so, he was still very nervous. After all, this was an opportunity for him, but also a huge challenge. Especially coaching Chinatown is definitely a very challenging job.

Fortunately, Gao Han was not in a hurry. After all, it was only early June, and it was impossible to ask Zidane to give a reply directly for the first time. However, he believed that the conditions and bargaining chips he had offered were still very attractive, and he believed that Zidane would make a wise choice.

At least, Chinatown is definitely a very ideal platform for him to take the first step in coaching.

…………

…………

Gao Han didn't say much about coaching. He believed that Zidane would have his own ideas and opinions.

The two quickly shifted the topic to the European transfer market this summer, but since the league has just ended and the Federation Cup is about to begin, the European transfer market has not yet fully opened, and all teams are still waiting and operating.

After chatting for more than an hour, Zidane got up and said goodbye.

After Gao Han sent him away, he continued to sit in the pavilion.

Close your eyes, and with a sense of consciousness, you quickly entered the coaching system.

On the night of the Champions League final, after the referee blew the whistle of the game, the coaching system sent a notice, telling Gao Han that he had completed the task of [Champion Collector].

This is undoubtedly good news that Gao Han has been waiting for many years. He coached Paris Saint-Germain to complete this task.

But because everyone was celebrating the carnival at Wembley Stadium at that time, Gao Han couldn't check it out as soon as possible, so things were delayed.

Later, he had free time and entered the coaching system to check the task completion status and received the task reward, but he fell into deep dilemma.

After completing this ultimate task, the system gave him a dilemma multiple-choice question.
