Chapter 113 A Short Vacuum Period After Winning
“斯坦教练，广州天宝总比分7比1战胜了伊蒂哈德晋级决赛，你觉得这场比赛是不是和2007年欧冠淘汰赛曼联7比1战胜罗马的那场比赛一样精彩”。
Hearing this question, Stan started rubbing his forehead, and the reporters below were also amused, they all knew what Stan meant, that was my God, I had a headache after asking.
Stan on the stage was also happy at this time, and said: "I can tell you 100% that I have not received a call from Manchester United. If I receive a call one day, I promise to tell everyone through Weibo as soon as possible."
After listening to Stan's answer, everyone laughed even more happily.
"The game is over, so don't mention 7-1 anymore. This is Saudi Arabia. We need to consider the feelings of Saudi fans." After speaking, Stan made a boo gesture.
Stan, who has won the ball, can always make witty remarks and play tricks with reporters at the press conference, which also amuses many reporter friends. You must know that just a month ago, these reporters were still biting whether they would dismiss get out of class. The situation on the football field is changing. Without a big heart, it is really unbearable.

Not surprisingly, Guangzhou Tianbao's opponent in the final is South Korea's "Seoul FC".
Yesterday, Seoul FC's AFC Champions League match was held a little later than Guangzhou Tianbao. In the end, Seoul FC won a 5-0 away game and advanced to the final.
Stan got this news when he got off the plane the next day. Of course, this was expected by Stan, and it was not news. On the contrary, Stan was worried that Seoul FC would capsize in the gutter, and the final of this year's AFC Champions League would become very boring.
On the bus back to the base from the airport, Stan told his team members the news. As expected, everyone simply agreed, and then started to do what they were doing.
"Boys, don't underestimate your opponent." Seeing everyone's attitude, Stan thought of the away game against Buriram and the Chinese idiom "A proud soldier must be defeated".
"OK, got it, Stan",
Others said: "Got it, boss".
But in general, the players still didn't pay attention. After all, they had just entered the final with a big victory, and everyone was full of self-confidence. Talking about risks with them now is really difficult to attract their attention.
*****
The AFC Champions League final will be held in two rounds on November 11 and November 7. Guangzhou Tianbao will play at home first and then away.
This is the biggest difference between the AFC Champions League and the Champions League. The Champions League final is a one-round system and is played in a third-party stadium.
However, the AFC Champions League game is divided into two rounds. On the one hand, this arrangement is fair, on the other hand, it also adds a lot of variables.
The biggest variable is the weather. In November, the temperature in Guangzhou is still the same as spring, but in Seoul, South Korea, the temperature is already close to freezing point.
This is also what the old-fashioned Stan is most worried about. Stan is from Eastern Europe. He knows that when the Eastern European teams play the Champions League, the biggest magic weapon is the bad weather. Those teams that fly from Spain and Italy to Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia have to endure the temperature drop of 20 degrees, which is the feeling of being frozen.
The most terrible thing is that the away game is scheduled for the end of November. Stan has inquired, and it is likely that it will start snowing in Seoul at that time.
Will Guangzhou Tianbao, which is characterized by technological flow, be able to adapt to the bad weather?Stan drew a big question mark in his heart.
Another thing that worries Stan is the Korean football itself. The 2002 World Cup left a deep impression on Stan. Although there are many objective factors, subjectively speaking, the hard work and toughness of Korean football are worthy of respect.
In the quarter-finals of the World Cup, facing the vigorous Koreans, the Italians' running was obviously a bit unable to keep up, especially after entering overtime, so many people exclaimed after the game that the Korean football game lasted 180 minutes, which shows that the Koreans can't run to death.
Although Guangzhou Tianbao is the biggest favorite to win the championship, who would have guessed that Italy, Spain, and Portugal would lose to the Koreans in 2002?
In addition, Stan understands that Guangzhou Tianbao, which he coaches, is most afraid of a tough team. As we all know, in Asian football, the Iranians are hot, the Japanese are delicate, and the Koreans are tough.
Two weeks before the first round of the game, Stan handed over the task of leading the training to assistant coach Pekovic, and he had to think about the next game.

Stan drives his Passat alone on the highway going north. Stan has a habit of driving alone whenever he encounters something. He has no destination or direction and just walks along the road.
It is said that in this state, Stan's mind is most active and most relaxed.
When the car arrived in Zhejiang, Stan opened the window and smelled a strong fragrance, which was the sweet-scented osmanthus on the side of the road. At this time, the sweet-scented osmanthus in northern Zhejiang had withered, while there were still some sweet-scented osmanthus in southern Zhejiang.
Stan turned the steering wheel and turned into a small road beside the national highway.
When the car arrived and the national road behind him could not be seen, Stan stopped the car, then slowly got out of the car, and walked to a small stream. Stan looked around and found no one. At this moment, Stan felt so relaxed and quiet,
Stan closed his eyes and thought back on the past few years. Being a football coach is really stressful. Look at Mourinho, who was still full of black hair when he came to Chelsea, but it turned completely white in a few years. There is also the outstanding feat Ferguson, who also underwent heart bypass surgery.
Recalling the past, Stan also began to imagine the future, what will happen in the future?What if the AFC Champions League final cannot be won?
"Then go back to Yugoslavia," Stan thought.
"No, it's Serbia now, the war is over, go back and buy a farm, just like Barty went back to Argentina",
"Maybe I will go to Argentina myself, buy a fishing boat, become a fisherman, and marry an Argentine girl",
girl?Thinking of this, Stan couldn't remember how long he hadn't had a girlfriend. He faced some pure men every day. Even if there were some female staff members, they were all married.
Stan shook his head and laughed at himself, "I have a wife named Football?" Thinking about it, Stan laughed out loud.
At this moment, Stan realized that when he was masturbating just now, a buffalo came beside him, and the buffalo was staring at Stan now.
After looking at the situation, Stan realized that his car was blocking the way of the buffalo, so he immediately got into the car and backed up.
It was only when he returned to the noisy national road that Stan realized how peaceful he was just now. Unfortunately, he was disturbed by a cow, but now Stan doesn't want to go back anymore. He knows that feeling is over, and he will never have it again if he deliberately looks for it.
Stan also wondered at this moment, why, he had just imagined a future without football.
Hehe, he escaped to relax because of football, maybe it was a conditioned reflex, he doesn't want to think about the game now, football.
In fact, for a moment, it is also happy not to think about football, forgetting about scores, goals, red and yellow cards, and letting go of my thoughts.

Stan has decided that he will go to Seoul, South Korea this weekend to watch the Seoul FC game. Although the team's video analyst has obtained a lot of Seoul FC games for him, especially the information of this season is particularly detailed, including commercial games before the season, the league after the season starts, the cup, the AFC Champions League, and every game of Seoul FC this year.
But Stan didn't want to watch a single show, he just wanted to see the scene.
"Stan, are you under too much pressure and want to travel to South Korea?" Pekovic said.
Stan almost fainted when he heard Pekovic's words, "Travel? I don't want to go to Korea if I want to travel."
It turns out that Pekovic's wife is Chinese and likes to go to Korea very much, so Pekovic said it out of reflex.
In fact, Pekovic knew that he had said the wrong thing, because he knew Stan's character, he was so strict and boring, and people who didn't know would think Stan was German, because only Germans would work so meticulously.
"Well, let's be honest with you," Stan said.
"The level of Asian football, I will fall asleep watching the video",
Pekovic was overjoyed when he heard it, and covered his mouth and laughed.
In fact, this is indeed the case. I don’t know if the fans have noticed that if you watch the Champions League game, even if you watch the replay, you still think it is very exciting, but watching the Asian team’s game or watching the live broadcast is a bit boring. Unless you go to the scene, the atmosphere may be better.
"Okay, I see, do you need me to accompany you?" Pekovic said.
Stan shook his head and said, "You lead the team to train, 7 days a cycle, gradually increase the training intensity, and don't let the players get injured."
"OK, don't worry."

Stan flew to Seoul the next day. Seoul already needed to wear a layer of autumn clothes at the end of October, but for Stan, it was just right, because he could wrap a scarf and wear a mask to avoid revealing his identity.
The game time is tomorrow night, and Stan has already got the tickets through the relationship of the club. Otherwise, in Seoul, there is only one day before the start of the game, and it is impossible to spend money to buy scalped tickets.
Because this game is a PK between two strong teams in South Korea, Seoul FC played against Jeonbuk Hyundai.
Seoul is the team from the north of Korea, and Jeonbuk is the team from the south of Korea. To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like the Bundesliga, Hamburg vs. Bayern, which is a north-south derby and a north-south confrontation.
To put it bluntly, this is the national derby in South Korea, but the level is not flattering, but even so, the tickets are just as popular. We all know how much "Smecta" Koreans love football.
Anyway, there is no need to worry about the tickets. All Stan has to do is to find a reserved hotel and get a good night's sleep first.
