Chapter 905 For the Championship
917 for the championship
It was late at night.

When Gao Bo was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, his cell phone rang.

It was Griezmann calling.

"Boss, is it true? You are leaving Manchester City?!"

Griezmann asked eagerly.

Gao Bo hummed: "Yes, if there are no major changes!"

"Boss." Griezmann on the other end of the phone was a little silent.

Gao Bo brought him from the Real Sociedad B team to England, then to Atletico Madrid, and then to Manchester City.

It can be said that Griezmann's career so far is completely related to Gao Bo.

In Griezmann's view, Kobo is his father in football and one of the most important people in his life.

"Boss, which team are you going to?" Griezmann said, "Take me!"

Gao Bo was moved to tears by this sentence.

He smiled and said: "I will not take over any team for the time being, I want to rest for a while."

Hearing that Gao Bo was not lured away by another team, Griezmann felt a little better.

"Boss, I just want to play under your hand!" Griezmann said with some sentimentality.

"Anthony!"

Gao Bo's tone became serious.

"You are a professional player! You can be in any team, under any manager, and you can create brilliance!"

Griezmann was silent for a while, then said: "Yes, I can do it, but I still want to play for you, as long as you are still coaching, I will continue to play for you, boss!"

Gao Bo was silent.

As a head coach, it is an honor to have such support from the players.

"As long as I come out to work, I will definitely buy you again, Anthony!"

"Sure! Boss!" Griezmann cheered up.

After hanging up Griezmann's phone call, Gao Bo was no longer sleepy.

In this arena, there are still many things that I can't bear to part with.

But such is life.

It is impossible for one person to get everything.

There are gains and losses.

When the phone rang again.

It was Kaka calling.

"Boss!" Kaka said on the other end of the phone.

Although his age is higher than Gao Bo's, he is still the same as all players, and he is called Gao Bo's boss.

It was Gao Bo who gave him the second spring of his career. Although due to his age, he mainly plays as a substitute in Manchester City.

However, being able to win another Champions League trophy as a main player in Manchester City is already hard for Kaka to imagine.

After confirming that Gao Bo will really not coach Manchester City next season, Kaka was silent for a while and said: "Boss, I received an invitation from the United States, a very lucrative contract."

Kaka said.

"Originally, I planned to refuse, but now I'm a little confused again"

Gao Bo nodded.

Now the major leagues in the United States are developing very fast, and a lot of capital has been invested in this emerging football league.

Many stars who once played for European giants will choose to play in this league at the end of their careers.

If it wasn't for Gao Bo, Kaka would have gone to the United States a long time ago.

"Ricciardo, how many years do you think you can play?"

Gao Bo asked back.

Although Gao Bo can use cards to help Kaka continue his career, but when you are old, you are old.

This cannot be reversed.

For a professional player, the time to earn money is actually very short.

In just ten years, it is necessary to earn enough to spend a lifetime.

It’s okay if the players have a sense of financial management, but if some players don’t have the sense of financial management, they will spend all their money quickly after retiring.

There are many stars who have a miserable life after retiring.

Not to mention, England football star Gascoigne is a typical example.

The ex-England international was so mixed up that he couldn't even pay for the drinks
Therefore, at Kaka's age, Gao Bo supports them to go to some non-mainstream leagues. The relaxed game rhythm can allow them to continue their careers for a few more years, and more importantly, they can earn a few more years of money.

As a professional player, the peak period of making money is only a few years away.

Kaka was stunned.

Yes, how many years can he play?

Since the beginning of this season, Kaka has already felt that his body is not capable of doing what he wants.

Maybe in another year or two, he will consider retiring.

The term retirement entered Kaka's mind for the first time, and he suddenly felt a little sad.

Looking back on my career, it seems like a flash in the blink of an eye.

From Sao Paulo to AC Milan, then to Real Madrid, and then to Manchester City.

In this short period of ten years
time, can you slow down
Kaka thought sadly.

"Go, Ricardo." Gao Bo said, "There, you can play for a few more years."

Kaka hummed, and then said good night to Gao Bo.

After that, several players called one after another.

After Gao Bo comforted him one by one, it was already three or four o'clock in the morning.

He sighed, lay down on the bed, and waited for tomorrow's dawn!
Prepare for the Champions League final!

This is the only goal of the team at present.

in training the next day.

Gao Bo and members of the coaching staff were standing on the sidelines of the training field, they were communicating in low voices.

Obviously, the news that Gao Bo was leaving made the training atmosphere extremely depressing.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the players are not high, and everyone seems to be preoccupied.

"It can't go on like this!"

Moya frowned.

"Damn The Sun!"

Moya said bitterly that the English media never seemed to have the concept of putting the overall situation first.

In the critical period of Manchester City's preparations for the European finals, they chose to break the news at this time. Didn't this completely disturb the morale of Manchester City's army?
"The people of Madrid must be very happy now!"

The assistants were discussing, Gao Bo did not speak, he was a little distracted.

After thinking carefully for a while, Gao Bo suddenly blew his whistle.

In this state, the effect of training is basically zero.

If the players' minds are not completely reversed, Manchester City's desire to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final is just a dream.

"The morning training is over, everyone go to the meeting room!"

Gao Bo convened the whole team and held a meeting in the conference room of the hotel.

He had to say something.

Even if he wants to leave, it will be after the final. Before that, he was still the head coach of Manchester City! !
Behind the players coming in one after another, they saw the head coach with a very serious expression.

After Gao Bo waited until all the players were seated, he looked at the players who were sitting upright, and then said.

"I'm sorry that there was such a big commotion before such an important final. I know that everyone is a little distracted now, and they will think about some things in a mess."

"This is my last game in Manchester City! At least, until the end of this season, I will still be the head coach of the team. As the head coach, what I have to say is, don't be distracted, don't think wildly!! If we still want to win this championship, we must concentrate our attention!"

"This is the last game we will be together. I am very honored to be able to work with everyone here and achieve such brilliance. This is due to you, and of course, it is also due to me. Because I have selected a group of the best players in the world. Of course, this team is the best team in the world!"

The players couldn't help puffing out their chests.

The head coach's words completely boosted their confidence.

"This game, our last game together!" Gao Bo raised a finger.

"I have only one goal - the championship!!"

"The last game, the last arena, the final stage, the most glorious stage!"

When Gao Bo said this, he paused.

Kaka and the others sitting in front saw that Gao Bo's eyes were a little red!

"Perhaps, this is the best stage to say goodbye!" Gao Bo continued.

"I hope you will work hard with me to win the championship!"

"Because this is the best compliment for us, the best player! The best coach! The best team!"

A smile appeared on Gao Bo's face.

"The best! Memorial!!"

Gao Bo said loudly.

"Cheer me up!!! Don't think that I will relax your requirements if I am leaving. I am counting on leaving with this trophy. If anyone ruins my good deeds, I will be in a hurry with whoever!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit dignified, Gao Bo decided to play a joke to ease it.

But, this time no one laughed.

Gao Bo even heard the sound of someone sobbing.

He suddenly didn't know what to say.

He gave inspiring speeches in the locker room countless times. In order to mobilize the fighting spirit of the players, Gao Bo even read many books on psychology.

Even the head coach has to keep learning.

He originally thought that he was already familiar with such occasions without any obstacles.

But now, he's completely stuck.

He didn't know what to say at this time.

He looks at his players.

This is the team he built, this is his championship team.

Together, they swept across Europe!
The relationship between them goes far beyond the general football coach-player relationship.

Gao Bo tried hard not to cry.

"I love you!" Gao Bo said, "You are champions!!!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Bo pushed away the people in the conference room, turned and left.

Behind him, the expressions of the players are very complicated.

As a professional player, parting has long been commonplace.

However, at this moment, an inseparable emotion is spreading.

"champion!"

Captain Kompany stood up. The Manchester City captain was very emotional. He waved his fist and shouted in front of the players!
"champion!!"

At this moment, there is no hesitation!No cranks.

There is only one thought in everyone's mind: use the championship to send off their head coach!

Regarding this incident, it is still fermenting in the media.

The media are discussing enthusiastically, the impact on the Manchester City team after the news that Gao Bo is leaving Manchester City is exposed.

In most people's imagination.

Faced with such a change, Manchester City's players are probably feeling devastated and their morale is low.

"This is Real Madrid's best chance to win the title!"

"Real Madrid's luck is great!"

The media lamented Real Madrid's luck.

At the press conference before the game, some Spanish media asked Gao Bo provocatively how much impact the news of his departure from Manchester City had on Manchester City.

In this regard, Gao Bo said that his players are the best professional football players, and they will handle this issue by themselves.

In this regard, the Marca newspaper believes that this is Gao Bo's stubbornness.

How could such a big matter have no impact at all?
And just like that, game day is fast approaching.

On the day of the match, Manchester City conducted simple physical training in the gym at the training base in the morning.

Afternoon is rest time.

After lunch, all Manchester City players have to take a lunch break, even the coach is no exception.

At this time, the training base was silent.

This is Portugal. In order to ensure the team's quiet training, Manchester City directly booked a very quiet training ground.

It was originally used as a venue for many teams to conduct pre-season training in summer or winter.

Now they are all directly packaged by Manchester City, just to avoid interference with the team's preparations.

Gao Bo also took a nap.

His nap time is very short, half an hour.

Half an hour is enough.

He doesn't need much sleep time.

After waking up, I feel refreshed, and most importantly, my mind is clearer.

It helps him not get confused in the intense game of the night.

Seven thirty in the evening is the game time.

Therefore, the time for dinner was arranged a little earlier.

At [-]:[-], dinner began.

At this time, the players will not eat too much.

After all, if you eat too much, blood will be preferentially supplied to the digestive system, resulting in drowsiness and weakness.

Anyway, during the intermission, the team will prepare a lot of high-calorie and easy-to-digest food for the players.

After dinner and a short rest, the Manchester City team will board the bus and head to the Stadium of Light to face their opponents in the Champions League final - Real Madrid!

Such a Champions League final is naturally attracting attention!

Can Real Madrid win their tenth Champions League trophy in team history?
Can Manchester City become the first team to defend the title since the restructuring of the Champions League?

These gimmicks began to be hyped by the media before the game started.

And because of these gimmicks, this game has also attracted more attention.

Before the start of the game, media from all walks of life gathered at the Stadium of Light, and satellite OB vans could be seen everywhere around the stadium.

Fans of the two teams also came near the stadium.

Before the game, the atmosphere between the fans of both sides was quite harmonious.

After all, Manchester City and Real Madrid have nothing against each other.

This UEFA Champions League game gradually became more lively as the fans entered the stadium.
