Super Marshal

Kaka's transfer can be described as a turn of events.

Real Madrid chairman Florentino arrived in Milan for negotiations. The day before, he negotiated with AC Milan general manager Galliani and Kaká's father Bosco. In the evening, Real Madrid said in an interview with the media that all progress had been made. smoothly.

Many Italian media people familiar with the situation have made high-profile predictions that Kaka will officially join Real Madrid tomorrow.

The next morning, when Kaka's father Bosco was leaving the hotel after the negotiation, he accepted an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport and said that he could not reveal too much, but the transfer had made a key breakthrough.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, the situation suddenly reversed.

First, Kaka's agent Jorge Mendes gave a high-profile interview to the media and stated that Kaka will not join Real Madrid.

Immediately afterwards, many well-known media figures in Italy expressed that Kaká’s transfer had suddenly changed and Real Madrid’s hopes had failed.

Di Marzio, a well-known Italian transfer expert, broke the news on his personal website that Kaka will transfer to Manchester City.

"According to the reliable information I received, Kaká's father Bosco had reached an agreement with Real Madrid in the morning, but in the afternoon, when Kaká was on his way to the hotel to sign the contract, Gao Han suddenly appeared and changed Kaká's decision."

"What is strange is that after Kaká rejected Real Madrid, less than two hours later, Paul Futre, the general manager of Manchester City Club, arrived in Milan and immediately went to the AC Milan headquarters to talk with the club. Liani started negotiations and the two parties have basically reached an agreement on Kaká’s transfer.”

"Manchester City will pay a higher price for Kaka than Real Madrid, which is expected to reach 70 million euros. This will surpass Zidane and make Kaka the most expensive superstar in the history of football transfers."

DiMarzio's revelations caused an uproar around the world.

After a season of long soap operas, when everyone thought Kaká would end up at Real Madrid, the situation suddenly reversed. Manchester City surprised everyone and embraced Kaká.

What's happening here?

Di Marzio speculated that one of the important reasons why Manchester City was able to convince Kaka was that Gao Han would coach Manchester City.

"Everyone knows that Gao Han has conquered La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga. He has won three of the four major European leagues and led three teams in different leagues to win the Champions League. Only the Premier League remains. The memory of Gao Han is gray."

"In the past few years, almost every summer, the media has been rumored that Gao Han will return to the Premier League, but every time it has been ignored. The reason is very simple. Gao Han has never found a suitable team."

"But now, the sudden appearance of Manchester City has given Gao Han a chance."

"Manchester City general manager Paul Futre is Gao Han's close friend. Chairman Mubarak has said more than once that Manchester City will build the top and most luxurious super battleship in European football, and Gao Han is undoubtedly the most suitable head coach candidate."

"For many famous coaches, coaching Manchester City is a terrible thing, because this team only finished tenth in the Premier League last season and did not even get to play in the UEFA Cup. But for the invincible Gao Han , this is definitely not a problem.”

As the Italian media scrambled to break the news, news about Gao Han's coaching of Manchester City spread like wildfire and quickly spread around the world.

In the UK, countless fans are worried about this news, because everyone knows that once Gao Han returns to the Premier League, the championship will have nothing to do with other teams.

Many Chelsea fans even held high flags and marched outside the Stamford Bridge Stadium, demanding that the club management take immediate action, proactively admit their mistakes, and invite Gao Han back to the Stamford Bridge Stadium.

"We don't want Mourinho, we want Gao Han!"

Unfortunately, things soon changed again.

Real Madrid quickly made an official clarification, saying that the club was once very close to Kaká, but unfortunately, it was ultimately unable to bring Kaká back to the Bernabeu and sincerely wished Kaká all the best.

At the same time, Real Madrid also officially announced that the team officially invited Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho to coach.

The Portuguese coach, who had been idle for two seasons, finally appeared in the mainstream of European football again.

When the news reached the UK, Chelsea fans were even more dissatisfied because they discovered that not only had Gao Han not been invited, but Mourinho had also gone to Real Madrid. What else was wrong with Chelsea?

The Manchester Evening News published a news report. A fan revealed that Gao Han's wife Lin Xia was spotted looking for a house in the Golden Triangle area of ​​Cheshire, and a photo was attached.

Soon, journalists from all over the UK immediately heard the news and gathered in the Golden Triangle of Cheshire.

The so-called Golden Triangle refers to three wealthy towns in the south of Manchester, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Prestbury, located near Manchester Airport.

These three small towns are connected together. They not only have beautiful scenery, but also have good public security conditions. They have attracted countless rich and famous people from around Manchester to settle down. In particular, most of the stars of the two Manchester teams live in this area, including Ferguson.

After in-depth digging by media reporters, the information was quickly obtained.

In the past few days, a Chinese woman, accompanied by Manchester City executives, was indeed looking at houses in the Golden Triangle, and finally selected a luxury villa in Alderley Edge, which is also located in the most expensive area in the UK, in the south. White Barn Road.

"According to the information obtained by the reporter, the mansion was built twenty-five years ago in a classic and simple British architectural style. However, it was sold at a high price two years ago. The new owner hired a well-known London construction company to renovate it and paid a large sum of money to invite We hired the famous interior designer Kelly Hepburn to design and decorate the interior, which can be said to have cost a lot of money.”

"Unfortunately, a year ago, when the renovation and decoration were in the middle of the process, due to the impact of the economic crisis, the owner temporarily put the renovation on hold and put the mansion on the market for sale, with an offer price as high as four million pounds. However, after buying the mansion, he still We have to invest another one to two million pounds in renovation costs, so it has been on the market for a year, but no one has taken any interest yet.”

"I learned about the situation from the local area. It is said that Gao Han's wife was looking for real estate in the Golden Triangle area. Manchester City provided many luxury houses for her to choose from, but she never chose the one she wanted. However, when passing by this half-finished luxury house, she was struck by it at first sight. She was enamored with it, especially when she learned that the interior decoration was designed by Kelly Hepburn, whom she admired very much. She even called Gao Han directly and made the decision to buy the house on the spot."

"The entire transaction negotiation process lasted only one day. The original owner had put it on the market for a year but no one cared about it. He reduced the price by one million pounds and finally sold it to Gao Han for three million pounds. This is a house located in Alderley Edge, occupying an area of For a mansion with an area of ​​​​15 acres, it is undoubtedly a very low price.”

"According to the information obtained by the reporter, after Gao Han takes charge of Manchester City, he will continue to renovate the mansion, and Kelly Hepburn will continue to design the interior decoration. During this period, they will temporarily live in a hotel in Manchester."

With the reports in the British media, it is already clear to almost everyone that Gao Han's entry into Manchester City is a certainty. It is just a question of when it will be announced.

This made fans of all teams in the UK, except Manchester City, howl.

Especially city rivals Manchester United.

But after announcing that Manchester City was about to sign Kaka, Italy's famous transfer expert Di Marzio soon broke the news again.

Manchester City general manager Paul Futre met with Inter Milan president Giacinto Facchetti and formally made an offer for Cristiano Ronaldo that far exceeded Kaka.

"This is an offer that is almost impossible to refuse." Di Marzio exclaimed.

For a time, the entire European football transfer market fell into madness again.

When the outside media focused all their attention on Manchester City, Gao Han quietly returned to Madrid.

In just a few days, the Chinatown team also made successive moves in the transfer market.

First, the Chinatown team announced the introduction of 19-year-old Illarramendi from Real Sociedad's second team. However, this youngster did not have any playing opportunities in Real Sociedad. He only participated in games on behalf of the second team. However, Real Sociedad's second team this season Real Sociedad, which has been relegated to the fourth tier and is in the Spanish Second Division, cannot prevent Illarramendi from switching to the newly promoted La Liga team.

But the Chinatown team also paid a nearly seven-figure transfer fee.

While introducing Illarramendi, the Chinatown team also introduced an 18-year-old youngster from the Basque Country, Igor Martinez, but this youngster has little reputation and is not even known to the team. , it was only after being registered by the Chinatown team that it was noticed by fans and the media.

Just two days later, the Chinatown team once again announced that it would introduce 18-year-old Danilo from the Brazilian American team at a price of 500,000 euros, and 18-year-old Danilo from the Brazilian Paranás team at a price of 500,000 euros. Year-old youngster Alex Sandro.

After continuously introducing cheap young players, the Chinatown team finally made a significant deal.

For two million euros, Chinatown announced the introduction of new international player Nicolas Otamendi from Sarsfield, Argentina.

When head coach Pochettino announced Otamendi's joining, he excitedly said that Otamendi will greatly improve the strength of the Chinatown team's defense. He believes that Otamendi has the ability to become a top central defender.

Otamendi also thanked head coach Pochettino for his trust in him. As an Argentine central defender, he said that he admired and appreciated Pochettino very much. He hoped that he could play in the Chinatown team under Pochettino's training. Be as good a centre-back as Pochettino.

According to Spanish media, the reason why the Chinatown team was able to introduce the 21-year-old Argentina international to the team before many wealthy clubs were optimistic about him was mainly due to the warm invitation of head coach Pochettino.

As early as half a year ago, Pochettino had been eyeing Otamendi. However, because the team was still in the Spanish Second Division at the time, he could not invite Otamendi to join. Therefore, after the promotion was successful, Pochettino wanted to join him. To strengthen the defense, the first thing that comes to mind is this Argentine compatriot.

After announcing the introduction of Otamendi, the Chinatown team invested nearly 4 million euros in the transfer market.

But compared with Zaragoza and Zaragoza, which are also newly promoted teams, Chinatown's investment is not much.

Zaragoza is an active player in the La Liga transfer market this year, investing more than 13 million euros in an ambitious attempt to stay in La Liga.

Sares's transfer strategy is different from that of Chinatown and Zaragoza. It is mainly based on loan. They introduced a total of ten players this summer, eight of whom were on loan and one on a free transfer. , the last one is Victor Sanchez, introduced from Barcelona, ​​but the specific transfer fee is unknown.

But when the transfer was almost completed, Gao Han became aware of a troublesome problem again.

No money again!
