Super Marshal

"Have you really decided to fully support the professional league?"

After seeing off the four of Xiao Hill, Gao Han returned to the office, and General Manager Armando Marcos asked with concern.

He is now the operator of Chinatown and must know exactly what Gao Han is thinking.

"Why not?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Armando Marcos raised his eyebrows, "But your relationship with the Football Association..."

This is something everyone knows.

Gao Han still holds the title of Technical Advisor of the Spanish Football Association. However, due to various relationships, he has stopped receiving salary from the Football Association for a long time. However, his relationship with the Football Association is extraordinary, especially with Chairman Bilal. .

Regarding this level, Gao Han did not deny it, "But is there any conflict?"

Armando Marcos didn't quite understand.

"I have a personal relationship with Bilal, and my relationship with the Football Association cannot be an obstacle to my seeking development and benefits for Chinatown. If anyone really feels that there is a conflict, then I will leave the Football Association and fully support Chinatown. "Gao Han expressed his stance without hesitation, and he also hoped to take this opportunity to prove his determination to everyone.

To him, Chinatown is the most important.

"Actually, the current situation is more favorable to us." Gao Han asked Armando Marcos to sit down opposite him.

"I will not come forward in person if it is not necessary. You have full authority to participate in this matter on behalf of me and Chinatown. I even hope that you will actively play a more and greater role in the professional league and strive for more benefits for the team. .”

To put it bluntly, this is a game of redistributing the cake, without any grace or mercy.

Gao Han believed that if he and Chinatown were killed, the Football Association would calm down the turmoil, and Bilal would not hesitate to take action.

This is called the distinction between public and private.

"On this matter, feel free to do it, I will fully support you behind the scenes." Gao Han promised.

After several years of cooperation, he already has great trust in Armando Marcos' ability. He believes that the Portuguese will do a good job and knows how to use discretion.

"Actually, you don't need to have too many worries at all. I even hope that you will work hard to become a leader in calling for reform, because even if the reform fails this time, there will definitely be another one. This is a persistent and protracted battle. "

After a pause, Gao Han smiled proudly, "As for the Football Association, you can rest assured. Although I have not been in Spain for many years, I still have some influence. If it comes to a critical moment, I will intervene and everything will be fine."

With Gao Han's status and influence in European football and even world football today, he believes that even if this reform fails, it will not have much impact on Chinatown.

Gao Han's promise can be said to be the greatest encouragement to Armando Marcos. The Portuguese knew clearly what he should do, "Don't worry, I will not let you down."

"Haha, you have never let me down, Armando." Gao Han laughed loudly.

After the two settled the matter about the professional league, Gao Han asked about contacting the stadium.

The new stadium in Chinatown was built on the land of Aldervilla Stadium. There will be at least three or four years between the demolition of the stadium and the opening of the new stadium. This requires Chinatown to temporarily lease a new stadium for competitions, and Chinatown now plays in La Liga and has very high requirements for stadium facilities.

"We initially studied several plans with Carlos and contacted them separately."

Armando Marcos stood up and walked to the desk, took out a piece of material and handed it to Gao Han.

“Our first consideration is the areas around Fuenlabrada, such as Getafe, Leganes, Mostoles and Alcorcón. Among these areas, Getafe has the largest stadium. The capacity of the Alfonso Pérez Stadium is up to 17,000 people, but the disadvantage is that we have to share the stadium with Getafe."

I have been to that stadium in the cold weather, and the conditions are average, but the capacity is good. If the venue conditions were used by two La Liga teams at the same time, it would probably be difficult.

“Besides Getafe, the second largest stadium in the surrounding area is El Soto Municipal Stadium in Mostoles, with a capacity of 14,000, but the stadium facilities are very poor, and the stands are only surrounded by barbed wire. If it is decided If we play in this stadium, I’m afraid we still have to invest a lot of money in renovations.”

“In addition, we also specially visited the Butac Stadium in Leganes. This stadium is owned by the Leganes Municipality but is currently used by Leganes. This team currently competes in the third level of Spain. League, but the strength is not strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to upgrade in the short term.”

"This stadium was built in 1998. All the facilities can be said to be very complete. They are almost all built to the standards of La Liga. It meets our requirements very well, but the capacity is only 8,000 people. If we decide to rent As for this stadium, I'm afraid we will have to invest another sum of money to renovate it, and it should be able to expand its capacity to 12,000 people."

"What are the opinions of the Leganes city government and the team?" Gao Han asked with concern.

"The city government is very supportive and even said that if we are willing to rent, they will not only give us a discount on rent, but will also support us in the renovation of the stadium as much as possible."

When Armando Marcos said this, he paused, "You know, this city has never given birth to a La Liga team."

Gao Han nodded, "Then what do you think?"

"The Alfonso Pérez Stadium is a bit far away from us, and it is Getafe's home stadium. I think there is no other advantage to renting this stadium apart from convenience and saving money. As for the El Soto Municipal Stadium and the Buenos Aires Tucker Field, I prefer the latter.”

"Why?" Gao Han asked.

“The three cities of Mostoles, Fuenlabrada and Leganes all have a population of around 200,000, and Getafe and Alcorcón both have a population of around 170,000, plus other surrounding cities. Some small towns, even excluding Getafe, the entire southern suburbs of Madrid have a population of one million."

"With a population of one million, apart from us and Getafe, there are no other La Liga or La Liga teams. This has to be said to be an incredible thing, so we have been operating from the very beginning. The target is this area and even we are attracting Getafe fans."

"In comparison, the El Soto Municipal Stadium is too remote. On the contrary, the Butak Stadium has a better location, more convenient transportation, and more complete municipal facilities around it. As for the cost of stadium renovation, the current stadium is the best The famous businessman is Mr. Butak, a wealthy man from Leganes, who expressed his willingness to help us upgrade the stadium capacity free of charge.”

"Is there such a good thing?" Gao Han was quite surprised.

Armando Marcos smiled slightly, "His shopping mall is just north of the stadium, what do you think?"

Gao Han burst out laughing immediately, as expected, he couldn't afford to wake up early.

Butak Stadium was built in 1998. The original design capacity was 12,000, but 8,000 were later used. The remaining 4,000 seats would not cost much to renovate, but if Chinatown could be introduced to Butak Stadium will have a very obvious driving effect on the surrounding areas.

"Let's go and take a look at the scene." Gao Han stood up.

After hearing so much analysis from Armando Marcos, he was really interested in this stadium, but no matter what, he still had to see it in person to know for sure.

But just as the two stood up and were about to go out, technical director Cantarero suddenly barged in.

"What's going on?" Gao Han saw that his face was anxious and a little strange.

"I just received a fax, take a look." Cantarero said nothing and handed over a piece of fax paper.

Gao Han and Armando Marcos were both very surprised. They quickly took it and saw that it was a fax asking for a price.

"Real Madrid wants to poach Diego Costa, Mkhitaryan, Otamendi and De Gea?" Armando Marcos screamed in confusion.

This is so shocking!

These four players are the core players of Chinatown. Poaching them would be equivalent to poaching half of Chinatown.

Cantarero and Armando Marcos both looked at Gao Han at a loss. At this time, they both needed Gao Han's backbone to give them confidence and allow them to settle down.

Gao Han was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that Real Madrid, which had always only dug superstars, would now also start poaching ordinary players. You know, these players are not very famous.

These four players performed well in La Liga last season, but they were not at the level where they could directly step onto the Bernabeu Stadium. This is not a matter of strength, but a matter of fame and influence.

"It seems that Florentino really wants to make a big bet on Mourinho." After thinking hard for a long time, Gao Han said with a helpless smile.

Real Madrid is very rich now, but it just can't produce results. Whether it is facing the superior Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, which is vaguely the third pole in La Liga, Real Madrid does not have any advantage, which makes the fans very dissatisfied. .

Florentino invited Mourinho in the hope that the Portuguese could lead Real Madrid to break through the restrictions of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and return to the top of Europe.

Judging from recent news, Mourinho is not satisfied with Adebayor. Higuain is not the tactical center Mourinho wants. The Portuguese appreciates Drogba more. Players of the same type as Ibrahimovic, but it is obvious that neither of these two superstars can be found.

Diego Costa is indeed very good at receiving passes from the backcourt. His tactical role is obvious and his input in the game is quite high. It can be said that he meets Mourinho's requirements very well.

As for the central defender, Real Madrid has always been a weak point. Otamendi performed very well last season. Although he was not selected for the best team in La Liga, he was definitely one of the best central defenders. Real Madrid also took a fancy to it. normal.

As for Mkhitaryan and De Gea, one is a talented frontcourt attacker and the other is a talented local rookie, so they can naturally catch the eye of Real Madrid.

And Gao Han had a vague feeling that Mourinho was going to take revenge in the transfer market.

What's more, everyone knows that Gao Han always sees people very accurately and never makes mistakes, so he can buy with confidence and boldness.

Four can be dug at one time...

"What do we do now?" Cantarero asked anxiously.

With the current situation in Chinatown, it cannot withstand the hardship at all. Although they finished eighth in La Liga last season, their foundation is weak. If four generals are poached, how can they play in the new season?

"If you refuse them, just say we won't sell any of them!" Gao Han's attitude was very firm.

Whether you can retain people or not is another matter, but your attitude must be tough from the beginning.

This is also Gao Han's experience gained from handling transfers over the years.
