Chapter 482 So I Still Have So Many Titles (Second)
Chapter 483 So I Still Have So Many Titles
In the first training after the Super Bowl, Gao Bo called the players to stand together before training.

Everyone knows that the head coach has something to say.

"After the Super Bowl, I said we will defend the league title!!" Gao Bo said with a smile.

The players didn't speak, and they knew the coach's temper. When he had such a smile on his face, it was best not to interrupt him.

"I said this sentence at the celebration after we won the championship last season. Now I say it again. Don't you think I'm joking?"

It is even more impossible for the players to refute at this time. Even if some players thought that their head coach was joking before, they can't say it at this time-how can there be such an honest person.

"The Champions League!! Yes, I know many of you can't wait to play the Champions League!"

"To be honest, I am the same!" The smile on Gao Bo's face gradually disappeared. "But... I want to remind you! The league is the foundation!!! Before we can achieve results in the Champions League, we must first maintain our competitiveness in the league! If someone plays in the Champions League this season, they will work hard when they play in the league. Such players will not get any chance!!!"

Gao Bo said in a stern tone.

Some Atletico Madrid players couldn't help shrinking their necks.

Some Atletico Madrid players now, after winning the league championship with an unbeaten record last season, their desire for the league championship may have decreased, and most of them have set their sights on the more attractive Champions League.

So Gao Bo must give the players a vaccination first.

"Many people in the outside world now think that we cannot successfully defend our title. They have listed many reasons, and I have read them all. I have to admit that the reasons they said seem reasonable, and we are facing various difficulties. In the next league, we will encounter much greater resistance than last season. I hope you are mentally prepared. But it is precisely because defending the league champion is difficult in one way or another, it is more worthwhile for us to defend the title!"

Gao Bo supported his waist, and then leaned forward slightly.

"We remained unbeaten in the 38 rounds of the league last season, and we even broke the record that has been in the dust for nearly 80 years! What is it to defend the league title?"

"We beat Real Madrid and Barcelona in a row last season. Why can they defend the title and we can't?"

"Guys, the defending league champions are not as scary as they say. We have to show them that what Atletico Madrid is best at is creating miracles!! Because we have such strength!"

After Gao Bo finished speaking, he waved his hand, and then the team's training began.

From the perspective of training, Gao Bo's words are obviously effective. The players should train more seriously and actively than usual.

Defending the league title is really a very challenging task.

The first game of the league will be played on August 29, and there is still a week to go.

For Gao Bo, this week is not just about training.

On August 25th, Gao Bo and the general manager of the team, Jill Marin, went to the Parliament Hall in the King Power Square in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

At 45:2011 CET on the same day, the 12-[-] UEFA Champions League Group Stage Draw Ceremony and UEFA Awards Ceremony will be held here!
This is not the first time Gao Bo has participated in such a ceremony.

The last time was the Europa League, when he went to Monaco with the boss of Luton.

However, the attention of the Europa League is obviously not as good as that of the Champions League!

Just a lottery ceremony, in China, CCTV will broadcast the whole process live.

The last time Gao Bo went to participate in the UEFA Europa League draw, no one paid attention to him at that time. He was just the head coach of an inconspicuous small team. At that time, the media also thought that this team from England might lose six consecutive games in the group stage and then be eliminated. Who would pay attention to them.

But now it was different. From the moment they appeared at the venue, the reporters waiting outside the venue flocked to him and surrounded him.

This is the first time that a head coach with an oriental face has appeared in the Champions League. No wonder the media paid so much attention to it.

Players with oriental faces are not uncommon, but as an oriental, a Chinese, being able to lead a team to participate in the UEFA Champions League as a head coach has a completely different meaning.

As a player, you can let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, so you can see white people, black people, yellow people, and brown people on the football field.Each race has its own advantages.

But you must seldom see head coaches with other skin colors in mainstream European football, right?
In European football, it is basically the world of white head coaches.

Black head coaches are rarely seen, and head coaches of other races are completely extinct.

In fact, in the white-dominated Western mainstream world, most popular sports are dominated by white head coaches. Not only football, but also basketball and rugby have such problems.

People of other skin colors can serve as physical coaches, tactical coaches, technical coaches... all kinds of coaches in the team, but they just cannot be the head coach.

This is a very invisible discrimination.

At the award ceremony, Gao Bo also met his old acquaintance Duan Xuan.

When the two met in Monaco, it felt like a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman.

And Gao Bo readily agreed to Duan Xuan's temporary interview request.

"As the first Asian and Chinese to coach in the five major European leagues, the first non-white head coach to win the UEFA Europa League, the third non-white head coach to win the top five league championships, and now he is about to become the first Chinese head coach to lead a team to participate in the UEFA Champions League. Come to the Champions League draw ceremony. Do you have any vision for this season's UEFA Champions League?"

Gao Bo looked at Duan Xuan blankly.

The first Asian and Chinese to coach in the top five European leagues?

The first non-white head coach to win the Europa League?
The third non-white head coach to win the top five league titles?

What the hell are these?

Duan Xuan obviously also saw Gao Bo's reaction, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

During the World Cup, Duan Xuan obviously got to know Gao Bo.

The senior director in front of him grew up in an orphanage, and his only bond in China was the old couple Chen who retired from Meizhou to support them.

Therefore, Gao Bo, who has been wandering overseas for nearly ten years, is not very clear about many things in China.

To be honest, these names are all talked about by the domestic media every day, and I don't know where they got the information from.

"Haha, these names are all very popular in China."

Duan Xuan laughed.

Gao Bo also laughed.

Although he seldom returns to China, he still knows the character of the Chinese people.

But these titles reminded him of the title of a certain character in an American drama.

I am Daenerys Stormborn I Targaryen, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Grass Sea, Freeman of Slaves and Mother of Dragons...

As soon as this person appeared on the stage, there was a series of reported dish names.

Duan Xuan's question just now made him think of this for the first time, that's why Gao Bo laughed.

"I didn't expect that I still have so many titles. It's an honor."

Gao Bo said with a smile.
