Super Marshal

In the afternoon, a flight from Manchester to Madrid slowly landed at the Capital Airport northeast of Madrid.

Half an hour later, Gao Han, who was disguised all over his body, quickly walked out of the airport and got into a black Mercedes-Benz around the corner.

As soon as the car door closed, the Mercedes-Benz started and quickly drove away from Madrid Capital Airport.

After leaving the airport, Gao Han took off his black sunglasses and let out a heavy breath.

"Why did it come so quickly all of a sudden?"

The person driving in front was the club's shuttle driver, but sitting next to Gao Han was technical director Carlos Cantarero.

Because Gao Han arrived in a hurry, he only informed Cantarero before departure and asked him to arrange for someone to pick him up at the airport. Unexpectedly, his old partner came in person.

"I encountered something, so I thought I would take a trip." Gao Han replied.

Cantarero is Gao Han's old partner and knows Gao Han's usual schedule. Last night was the Community Shield, so this morning should be recovery training. The afternoon and tomorrow morning will definitely be off, so he has some time.

But coming to Madrid in person must be something important.

"What's going on?" Cantarero asked concerned.

Gao Han frowned, "I just received a call from Florentino."

With a hiss, Cantarero took a breath.

Real Madrid is now chasing Edin Dzeko like crazy, but Wolfsburg's Hoeness, like his brother, is a virtuous businessman with high prices, and was directly bid 60 million by Dzeko. Euros, no discounts.

The current situation is that the whole of Europe is waiting to see a good show. It depends on whether Real Madrid can step on this trap.

If you step in, you will lose money and be taken advantage of; if you don't step in, what will the forward do? Both Adebayor and Higuain failed to satisfy Mourinho. When the Portuguese took over as Real Madrid coach, Florentino personally promised to give him more power.

With Mourinho's character, if he hadn't brought in a striker, he would probably have made a fuss.

However, everyone feels that Real Madrid should compromise. After all, Florentino has never been afraid of expensive purchases. He has even always said that the most expensive is often the cheapest. Besides, for a wealthy man with 200 million euros in hand, For Real Madrid, 60 million euros is nothing.

But at this moment, Florentino suddenly called Gao Han, which was worth pondering.

"Does he want to..."

Gao Han nodded slightly, looking like he was too lazy to say more.

"How can this work? The team has been working together well, and now it suddenly happens, I'm afraid it's not good." Cantarero also feels a headache, because the team has almost worked together, and Pochettino is not optimistic about the new season. With high morale, he suddenly sold his leading striker, so...can he accept it?

Gao Han also sighed, this is why he came to Madrid in person.

"By the way, you just said on the phone that the list of Genius Day selections has come out. You want to show me the list. Where is the list?"

Gao Han changed the topic and adjusted his attention to other things.

Cantarero also knew that this matter was difficult to handle, so he followed Gao Han's wishes, took out a piece of material from the briefcase next to him, and handed it to Gao Han.

Chinatown’s Talent Day selection is held twice a year, in summer and winter. However, unlike BJ’s Chinatown, which specifically targets Chinese players, Madrid’s selection targets the whole world, and as Chinatown’s reputation has grown in recent years, The sound is getting louder and louder, coupled with the Gaohan team's cultivation of young players, the Chinatown youth training has become more and more popular.

The twice-a-year Talent Day selection is always overcrowded and has become a rare selection event. Even many scouts from other clubs go there to spy on the military situation or to pick up missed opportunities.

But although there are many young players participating in the selection every year, there are only very few who can actually pass the preliminary round, the semi-finals, and the final selection, and finally enter the youth training camp in Chinatown. It can be said that every one of them is among their peers. of elites.

Moreover, in order to encourage the young players participating in the selection to show their special skills, Chinatown also specially set up various awards, the most attractive of which is the Golden Globe Award, which represents the talent with the best performance in this Talent Day selection. players.

Therefore, the first page of the document is the material of the Golden Ball winner for the best player in the selection.

"Yang Xin?" Gao Han's eyes flashed with surprise as soon as he saw the name, "He...he is Chinese?"

"Yes," Cantarero nodded, "And it's in the warehouse area of ​​Fuenlabrada. His parents came to Madrid from China to do business for more than ten years. I heard from his grandma that he held it in his arms since he was a child. He comes to the park to watch you train."

"Really?" Gao Han was completely unimpressed.

"I heard that their whole family is still Chinese nationality, but their child was born in Spain. He is 11 years old this year. He has been receiving football training at a school that cooperates with us since four years ago. He was recommended by our youth training coach. Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes. He is not tall, very fast, and he is very good at dribbling the ball. Even if he plays with a 13-year-old, he is very eye-catching."

Gao Han believed in Cantarero's vision, but he was a little surprised when he suddenly saw such a person. With a thought in his mind, his fiery eyes swept past and found that Yang Xin's potential was as high as 185, which was considered very high. .

Now he was really curious about this little compatriot, but it was a pity that he couldn't spare the time, otherwise he really should pay a visit and take a walk in the warehouse area. He hadn't been there for a long time.

Judging from Cantarero's description, Yang Xin has been trained by China Town's youth training since he was a child, but has been in school. Now he has officially entered the youth training echelon of China Town, and will be able to participate in various youth training. Training and competition.

"This kid is just like the one last winter. He can probably skip two levels directly." Cantarero chuckled.

The best player selected at last winter's Talent Day was given to Anthony Martial, a French teenager who had just turned fourteen.

He was recommended by Chinatown's scouts in France, and he performed very well in the selection trials. Although he was a little older, he was also introduced to the youth training camp by Chinatown. Now he is only fourteen years old, but he is already playing with ten The six-year-old player competed, and everyone on the team was very optimistic about him.

"We still have to take our time. You know, these young players are like porcelain. They are very fragile. We must take good care of them, especially injuries." Gao Han said this and looked at it again. One look at the young face with black hair and yellow skin on the player profile, and I feel very friendly.

"Let him play with teams of the same age first. If he performs well, he will gradually improve. Pay attention to his health."

"Don't worry, we have invested a lot in medical care, and we are the only ones in the world who pay so much attention to it." Cantarero agreed with a smile.

Gao Han didn't hesitate and continued reading.

The second page is Silver Ball winner Dani Ceballos, a Spanish player, fourteen years old, born in a small town called Utrera, more than 30 kilometers away from Seville. He started participating in the Sevilla youth training camp at the age of 18, but his physical fitness was relatively poor and he suffered from bronchitis. This year, he was terminated by Sevilla.

But the player and his family were not willing to give in, so they came to Madrid to participate in the Chinatown selection and performed very well. Moreover, Chinatown did not take his physical fitness and bronchitis into consideration and promised to help him heal these injuries. sick, so he joined the youth training camp in Chinatown.

The third page is the winner of the Bronze Ball Award, a 13-year-old youngster from France named Ousmane Dembele. Like Pogba before and Martial last year, he is Chinatown’s scout in France. He was recommended. After an inspection by Chinatown, he thought he was good and invited him to participate in the selection. He only got a third place, but he also joined the Chinatown youth training camp.

"He used to play futsal. He participated in the youth league this year and performed very well. After the scout recommended him, I went over to have a look in person. He is a very good young player. He did not perform well in the trials this time. It's a pity, otherwise I think he might not have been able to win the Ballon d'Or."

"Really or not?" Gao Han chuckled.

Cantarero shrugged, "You'll see."

Gao Han has great trust in his right-hand man. Cantarero is indeed unique in discovering and cultivating young players. After he took charge of Chinatown's technical department, not only the scouting network has been greatly improved, At the same time, the youth training in Chinatown has been greatly improved.

To be valued so highly by him proves that Ousmane Dembele is indeed quite good.

"Actually, we also invited many young players to participate in the selection. Some of them we were particularly optimistic about, but unfortunately they were unable to come due to various reasons. For example, Barcelona's young player Bellerin, I think this The boy's future is limitless, but it's a pity that his parents prefer him to stay in Barcelona, ​​and so does Asensio from Mallorca."

Gao Han is understandable about this. After all, everyone has his own ambitions, and many parents are reluctant to let their children stay away from home at a young age.

"There's nothing you can do about it, just keep in touch."

"Well, I have asked them to collect them all, keep an eye on them, and update the player's situation on the system at any time. And I plan to send out invitations again during the winter selection. If they still don't come, we will send them again next year and keep sending them... ..." At the end of the sentence, Cantarero laughed mischievously.

He looked like an out-and-out human trafficker.

Gao Han looked a little funny, "Carlos, who did you learn from?"

"Is it a bad lesson?" Cantarero suddenly became confident, "I must have learned it from you."

Gao Han almost burst out laughing, am I so bad?

However, he is really happy to see that Cantarero has increasingly entered the role of technical director, and he is still working hard and enjoying it. After all, Gao Han was really reluctant when he asked him to take on this role.

"Thank you, Carlos." Gao Han said gratefully.

Cantarero waved his hand, "Don't be stupid. If you think I'm doing a good job, then give me a salary increase as soon as possible, boss. Otherwise, I might be poached one day. Then Just go cry."

"Yes, the salary must be raised. However, if you really have better development, I won't stop you."

"real?"

"Kidding."

Cantarero almost showed his middle finger. He had been working with Gao Han for ten years, so how could he still not understand Gao Han?

However, he could also feel that Gao Han was gradually focusing his career and energy on Chinatown.

Therefore, he was extremely touched that Gao Han could trust him so much and place such important hopes on him.

The two of them are friends in times of need. There are many things that don't need to be said at all, and they understand each other tacitly.
