Super Marshal
Chapter 748 Great Purge
Manchester entered July under the wash of heavy rain.
Gao Han arrived at Manchester Airport secretly, got into the reception car directly from the tarmac, and left quietly.
The whole process was as secretive as a thief.
It wasn't until he left the confines of Manchester Airport that Paul Futrey, who was sitting next to Gao Han, breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?" Gao Han wondered.
"You don't know, the terminal is full of reporters and fans. They are all waiting for you to show up. As soon as you show up, you don't even have a chance to turn around and escape. You will be surrounded by them." Paul Futrey said after the disaster.
Gao Han is well aware of the fanaticism of England fans, but a new problem has arisen.
His itinerary was kept secret. Apart from himself, there were only three people who knew he was on this flight.
His wife, Lin Xia, currently lives in the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel in Manchester, which is the most luxurious top hotel in Manchester. Manchester City has long-term leased the hotel's luxurious presidential suite for Gao Han, which costs nearly a thousand pounds a night.
Another one is agent Jorge Mendes, who called Gao Han in Milan last night and is still in Italy.
The only one left was Paul Futre in front of him. Gao Han notified him of his flight last night and asked him to arrange for someone to pick him up.
"How did they know I was taking this flight?" Gao Han deliberately stared at Paul Futre with malicious eyes.
The Portuguese general manager spread his hands and almost cried with grievance, "I swear, after I received your call, except Mubarak, I never told anyone else, except... him."
Paul Futrey pointed to the driver in front of him.
The driver was immediately startled, his hands shook, and he almost lost control of the steering wheel. "Mr. Futre, you didn't tell me until we were on the road, and I was with you all the time. How could it be that I was the one who tipped off the media reporters?"
"I didn't tell you." Paul Futrey comforted the driver, turned around and looked at Gao Han with a playful smile, "Yeah, look, it's definitely not the secret I leaked. Besides, it's not like you don't know how powerful the British media is. Awesome, I know you are coming sooner or later, is it difficult to find out your flight information?"
When Gao Han heard it, it was really not difficult.
The reason why British media reporters are difficult to deal with is that they are so pervasive that they can find out the information they want in almost completely unexpected ways. It's just a piece of flight information. It's simple.
"So, don't play with them, they are professionals." Paul Futrey felt a lot more comfortable when he saw Gao Han's depressed look, and smiled to tease him.
"What about the hotel?" Gao Han asked with concern.
Lin Xia and Xiao Gaoshen lived there, and there was absolutely no room for failure, not even one in a million.
"Don't worry, I have already communicated with the hotel. There is no problem with their security. The Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel has received numerous domestic and foreign dignitaries and has rich experience. Moreover, the hotel is very close to China Town, making it convenient for you to go out."
Gao Han felt a little relieved, but he still warned Paul Futre.
When Lin Xia was looking for a house in Alderley Edge, she called Gao Han. At that time, Gao Han explained that nothing else mattered, but the surrounding public security must be good and the security of the villa must be upgraded.
After having children, he also paid special attention to these aspects.
"By the way, you said before that Chelsea wanted to poach Daniel Sturridge. What happened?"
Daniel Sturridge, who will be 20 years old soon, is a local youth training player of Manchester City. He played 16 times last season and contributed four goals and three assists. He is the most outstanding young player in the Manchester City team, but As a result, he has attracted the attention of many other Premier League teams, including Chelsea.
But the trouble with this matter is that Sturridge's contract expires this summer, which means that he can leave on a free transfer, and Manchester City can only receive a youth training compensation at most.
Because according to regulations, Sturridge is under the age of 24 and cannot leave the team on a free transfer in accordance with the Bosman Act.
"What the club means is, it depends on what you think. If you want to keep him, then we will do our best to litigate with Chelsea, and it is best for you to come forward to retain Sturridge. I believe he will not refuse. .”
Paul Futrey believes that no young player in the world can refuse Gao Han’s offer to stay.
"Of course, if you are not interested, then we also plan to file a lawsuit with Chelsea. We cannot allow players to leave the team."
This has nothing to do with feelings, it's just that no one wants to lose their interests for no reason. After all, it's an income of one or two million pounds.
Ever since Manchester City was acquired by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Blue Moon's youth training has had almost no output. Among the young people who can now gain a foothold in the first team, forward Sturridge is one, and there is also a gem in the midfield, Michael. Johnson, these two youth training players are both highly regarded by Gao Han.
"I will call Sturridge." Gao Han said.
After hearing this, Paul Futrey also understood what Gao Han meant, and Sturridge was in his plan.
According to Gao Han's keen eyes, Sturridge's potential is as high as 175, he is very fast, and he is good with his feet. He is also from Manchester City's local youth training. It would be a pity not to keep such a player for himself.
"In addition, this is my preliminary draft list of players. For the first team in the new season, I plan to streamline the lineup to 25 players. There are too many players now and there is no need for many players to stay in the first team."
Paul Futrey was a little surprised when he heard this.
You know, Manchester City's first team now has a total of thirty-seven people, including the promoted young players from the youth training.
Moreover, according to the club's plan, there will definitely be a big recruitment drive this summer, especially for several superstars. They are fully prepared. The club will purge at least a dozen people this summer, and may even reach 20 people.
This is simply a bloody purge.
However, this is not surprising at all, because Gao Han has his own coaching ideas, and the standards for evaluating players are based on the Premier League championship level. In the past, Manchester City was only ranked in the middle, and the requirements were much lower than Gao Han.
After Paul Futrey took over the player list from Gao Han, he found a long list of players. Many young players were sent back to the second team, including Bellamy, Bodinov, Wright... Phillips, goalkeeper Given and De Jong, all well-known players in the Premier League and Europe, have all been put up for sale.
But there were also several players retained by Gao Han, some of which surprised Paul Futre.
For example, young goalkeeper Joe Hart, Croatian defender Kolluka, two full-backs Zabaleta and Bridge, Irish midfielder Stephen Ireland, Brazilian midfielder Elano, wide player Petrov, and Brazilian striker João, who is on loan at Everton.
Especially if Ruo, Paul Futre originally thought that Gao Han would clean him up, but unexpectedly he would keep him.
This player was recommended to Manchester City from Russia by the famous agent Joorabchian last summer. The then head coach Mark Hughes admired him very much and spent nearly 20 million euros to dig him to Manchester City. As a result, within half a year, he was He was given nine appearances, scored one goal, and was loaned to Everton during the winter break.
On the contrary, at Everton, if he played twelve times, scored five goals and performed well, Moyes always wanted to continue the loan.
Now it seems that Gao Han has to use it himself.
…………
…………
After returning to the city from Manchester Airport, Gao Han and Paul Futrey went straight to the City Stadium where the club is headquartered.
The driver drove the car into the internal parking lot, and Paul Futrey led Gao Han directly to the conference room on the second floor of the office.
At this time, many core senior officials, including Chairman Mubarak, had been waiting for a long time.
"Welcome to Manchester City, Mr. Gao Han." As soon as Mubarak saw Gao Han, he stood up excitedly and greeted him.
Other department heads also stood up to greet him. The unsociable Gao Han was flattered and couldn't help but thank him. Especially when he saw Rodolfo Borelli, he laughed and hugged him.
Gao Han and he had been colleagues in Barcelona for a period of time, but they had no contact at all at that time. It was not until Gao Han became famous in Madrid that he met Rodolfo Borrell at a gathering in the coaching circle. Unexpectedly, But he became a colleague at Manchester City.
As the assistant coach of the first team, Brian Kidd was not allowed to attend such a high-profile management meeting. However, Gao Han was new to the city and was not familiar with many things, so Paul Futrey and Mubarak made an exception and invited him to attend. .
At Gao Han's request, Manchester City will not hold any welcome ceremony for him, and will not even hold a press conference for signing the contract. However, many stars including Kaká will have a grand debut ceremony when they join.
Paul Futrey has already begun to prepare for this.
"OK, first of all, I am here to represent Manchester City and I am very grateful to Mr. Gao Han for coming to coach with us."
Club Chairman Mubarak was the convener of this meeting, and this was the first high-level meeting of the new season, and it was also the first time Gao Han participated as a head coach, and all departments attached great importance to it.
"Mr. Mansour is also very happy for Mr. Gao Han's arrival. He heard that we were going to have a meeting this morning and specifically canceled several important meetings and activities. He hopes to discuss and study Manchester City's plans for the new season with us via video. develop."
With that said, Mubarak immediately contacted Mansour in Abu Dhabi in the Middle East through the computer and presented him on the big screen in the conference room, so that everyone could clearly see the club's behind-the-scenes boss. boss.
"Hello, I'm very happy to see you on this occasion, Mr. Gao Han." Mansour smiled and greeted Gao Han as soon as he appeared.
Everyone could see that among everyone present, the person he valued the most was Gao Han.
The annual salary after tax is 50 million pounds, which is the highest price in the history of professional football. Even the superstars cannot get it.
"Me too, Mr. Mansour, I still haven't had the chance to thank you for your gift in person." Gao Han smiled.
"You're welcome." Mansour was obviously in a very good mood.
"I have heard from Calduin about the Italian affairs. Fortunately, you came forward in time and we were able to successfully persuade Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo to join."
"You're welcome, Mr. Mansour."
"Paul, we must hurry up in transfer negotiations. I know that Mr. Gao Han has always attached great importance to pre-season preparations. You must reach an agreement with Inter Milan as soon as possible."
Paul Futrey nodded, "Okay, I know, Mr. Mansour."
In the video, Mansour smiled with satisfaction. Being able to invite two superstars, Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo, to join him is not only the most important transfer this summer, but will also bring huge influence to Manchester City. , the brand promotion will reach an astonishing height.
"Mr. Gao Han, there is something I want to talk to you about."
Gao Han nodded, "Please tell me."
