Super Marshal

When the two contract extensions in Chinatown and the extension of Hazard's sky-high annual salary caused an uproar around the world, Gao Han returned to China after handling many matters in Europe and took his family to the Middle East for a vacation at his own expense.

Even in the first qualifier of the World Cup held in mid-June, when China challenged Bhutan away from home, Gao Han did not come to watch the game. Instead, he watched the game live on TV in Dubai.

After the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, the national team coach Perrin seemed to be downplaying Gao Han's impact on the team intentionally or unintentionally. He did not have any communication or contact with Gao Han before and after this game, not even a phone call or text message. .

Gao Han respected this and didn't even go to the scene to watch the game.

According to the information obtained by Gao Han, some conflicts have begun to emerge between Peilan and the Football Association in the past six months, especially regarding the choice of training locations. Peilan strongly requested that the training location be arranged in Kunming, but the Football Association considered altitude sickness. It was hoped that it could be arranged in other cities, but in the end Perrin won.

However, before the game, some media and professionals revealed that there was indeed a problem with the national football team's training camp in Kunming.

In the away game against Bhutan in mid-June, the national football team did suffer from altitude sickness.

Facing such a weak team, China performed extremely poorly in the first half. Not only did they frequently make mistakes in passing and receiving, but the players' condition was also obviously very bad, and they were unable to score a goal.

It was not until the stoppage time of the first half that forward Yang Xu scored a goal for the team.

After that, in the second half, Chinatown barely managed to get back on its feet, scoring consecutive goals and beating Bhutan 6-0 away from home.

Gao Han made a comment on Weibo after the game. Considering that it was the first game of the World Cup preliminaries, he thought the result was acceptable, but the process of the game exposed many problems, and even the players' performance was not as good as that of the Asian Cup. period.

In his comments on Weibo, Gao Han warned everyone in the national team that although there are many away factors in the game, mentality is obviously also a big problem. He hopes that the national team and the Football Association can pay attention to it.

Gao Han's Weibo quickly attracted the attention of domestic fans and media. After in-depth digging, everyone suddenly discovered that during the Asian Cup, the Football Association had seconded two sports psychology experts from Chinatown to accompany the team, but this time the World Cup qualifiers Sai had no such arrangement.

A spokesman for the Football Association said that the reason for this is that the Football Association is considering hiring experts on a long-term basis to be responsible for the national team full-time. However, some media have dug up the inside story and believe that not to continue to secondment the Chinatown psychologist is a joint decision between Perrin and the Football Association. As for the reason, the outside world is also speculating, and the news is confusing.

Gao Han was too lazy to pay attention to this and concentrated on vacationing in the Middle East.

After playing the first round of World Cup qualifiers, the national football team disbanded and returned to the league. The next training camp will be to face the East Asian Cup in August. This time China is the host and the game will be held in Wuhan.

In mid-June, the America's Cup is also in full swing in Chile.

There are not many South American international players in Chinatown. Only Danilo, Alex Sandro and forward Firmino have entered the Brazilian national team. Therefore, Gao Han did not pay much attention to this event. Chinatown only arranged for the chief scout to go to Chile for inspection.

Thanks to his outstanding performance in Chinatown, Danilo overcame Barcelona's Alves to serve as the main right back of the Brazilian national team. Firmino also played the main role on the front line. Only Alex Sandro temporarily He does not yet have the ability to challenge Marcelo's main position.

And it is precisely with the outstanding performance of international players such as Firmino, Neymar, Coutinho, Danilo and Marcelo that the Brazilian team won consecutive victories in the group stage and entered the knockout round with three consecutive victories.

Later, they defeated Paraguay in the quarter-finals and entered the semi-finals.

But this time, facing Argentina led by Messi, Brazil finally lost 1-2 and missed the final.

Argentina's situation was not much better. After entering the final, they drew 0-0 with the host Chile. In the end, they lost to Chile 1-4 in the penalty shootout and missed the championship.

In the end, Danilo and Firmino entered the best lineup of this America's Cup.

The outstanding performance of these two Brazilian internationals in the Copa America and their performance in Chinatown in the past two seasons have attracted the attention of many European giants.

Barcelona has included Danilo in the evaluation list of Alves' successor from the beginning. After successfully defending the Champions League in Chinatown, Barcelona is even more determined to win Danilo. Club president Rosell even announced that he will win at all costs. Send Danilo to fill the vacancy on the right side of the team.

In addition to Barcelona, ​​Manchester United has always had weaknesses on the right. Pochettino also hopes to introduce Danilo to replace Croatian veteran Dario Srna. Not only that, he also has a lot of problems with forwards Firmino and Gullie. Ziman is determined to win and believes that these two players can greatly improve Manchester United's offense.

The British Sun, which has always been known for digging up insider information, firmly stated that Pochettino will launch an attack on the two former favorites this summer, and Manchester United has also set out a transfer budget of up to 200 million pounds for Pochettino. I hope to complete the team's metabolism as soon as possible and help the team get out of the trough.

In June, Manchester United announced the signing of Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich for 15 million euros. This was also seen as the first step in Pochettino's transformation of Manchester United.

But even if Manchester United has a generous transfer budget, it is not easy to win players from Chinatown.

Griezmann is a hot commodity in this year's transfer market and has been favored by Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City. Barcelona, ​​in particular, hopes to poach Griezmann and form a frontline team with Suarez and Messi. Field trident.

Although Firmino is not as favored as Griezmann, he has also attracted the attention of many teams including Liverpool, Chelsea and Inter Milan. As a versatile midfielder, Firmino is also popular.

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain originally coveted Hazard in Chinatown, especially Paris Saint-Germain. After sending away Neymar, they intended to introduce Hazard to fill the vacancy of the superstar in the team. France's L'Equipe even said , Nasser is willing to pay a liquidated damages of 200 million euros for Hazard.

But Chinatown cut the mess quickly and immediately renewed Hazard's contract with an annual salary of tens of millions after signing two blockbuster contracts.

Manchester City's top priority this summer is to retain the team's head coach Carlo Ancelotti, and the transfer is more targeted at the two wings.

During Ancelotti's coaching, Manchester City's style of play transformed from a three-back during the high-cold period to a more balanced four-back. Zabaleta has always been on the right, but the Argentinian player obviously cannot meet Manchester City's requirements. Danilo has also become one of Manchester City's options.

Left back Alex Sandro has also attracted attention from Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid. Although in the Brazilian national team, Alex Sandro's position falls behind Marcelo, but in Chinatown The performance is quite outstanding. Together with Danilo, they are known as the devil's wings, and they are the team's offensive weapons on the wing.

But according to the British Guardian, Manchester City’s number one target this summer is Chinatown’s main midfielder Illarramendi.

Xavi Alonso is already old. Michael Johnson, who was highly favored by the cold, has not made much progress in recent years and has stagnated under Ancelotti. Manchester City intends to poach Illarramendi to succeed Xavi Alonso. Alonso.

Also coveting Illarramendi is Real Madrid. Real Madrid, which is constrained by its soft waist, also hopes to introduce this local midfielder, because Illarramendi not only has excellent passing and organizational skills, but is also known as Xabi Alonso II, but in fact, his role on the defensive end is also quite outstanding, with all statistics ranking among the top in La Liga.

Midfielders such as Isco, Pogba and De Bruyne have also been poached by major wealthy teams, but Chinatown is no longer what it used to be. After renewing Hazard's contract, the team solemnly announced the launch of The new round of contract renewal will ensure that the core players stay on the team to the greatest extent.

Of course, Armando Marcos still firmly abides by Gao Han's salary structure, which must not exceed the bottom line of 45% of the club's financial revenue, and strives to maintain the team's financial health.

When the European summer transfer market was undercurrent, Gao Han also returned to China from his vacation in the Middle East.

After returning to China, he went directly south to Guangzhou and participated in the opening ceremony of the Talent Day selection event at the Guangzhou China Town Youth Training Center.

This means that the second domestic youth training center will be officially opened this summer and will begin to recruit school-age children into the youth training center to receive the most formal football training and cultural courses. Not only that, the fifth Chinatown Youth Football Invitational Tournament will also It will be held in this brand-new youth training center in Guangzhou, and will be broadcast live by many domestic and foreign TV stations.

The governments of Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City also sent representatives to attend. Leaders of the General Administration of Sports and Chairman of the Football Association also visited the scene and delivered speeches. Gao Han also solemnly promised everyone that the Guangzhou China Town Youth Training Center, like BJ, will It is built in accordance with the most advanced youth training standards in Europe.

"So far, we have decided to invest in seven Chinatown youth training centers in China. In the next five years, we will open one at a rate of one per year."

For many media reports, Gao Han gave an explanation as to whether the speed could be accelerated.

"We are not just considering the construction issue, we also need to consider the training of the youth training coaching echelon, as well as the training of club staff and management personnel. These all take time. With our current capabilities, opening one every year is enough. soon."

Gao Han also emphasized again that the Chinatown Youth Training Center's principle is to focus on quality over quantity and will not blindly expand. It will only continue to proceed in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

Regarding the losses that many media are worried about, Gao Han smiled and said that he was not worried.

"With the current value of domestic players, we can't lose money no matter what." Gao Han said with a confident smile.

In fact, Chinatown is indeed negotiating cooperation with domestic clubs. After all, for some youth training prospects who cannot gain a foothold in European leagues, domestic leagues will be their best way out.

Regarding the recent faint calls for Gao Han to take over the national team in China, Gao Han said that he had no such considerations. He believed that Peilan coached well. During his time in Guangzhou, he and the leaders of the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association did not have any such concerns. discussion.

With Gao Han personally in charge, the Genius Day Selection at the Guangzhou Chinatown Youth Training Center attracted thousands of school-age children from all over the world to participate. Gao Han was also personally involved, using his sharp eyes to carefully select young talents for Guangzhou Chinatown. Training seedlings.

In the subsequent invitational competition, BJ Chinatown won the championship in both age groups, again arousing the appreciation of domestic fans.

After the invitational competition, Gao Han took the teenagers aged fifteen or sixteen from BJ to Madrid.
