Super Marshal

"That's basically the situation within the team right now."

In the living room of Gao Han's luxurious suite at the London hotel where Manchester City stayed, Cantarero worriedly reported to Gao Han the team's situation in the past month, mainly regarding internal morale issues.

There has been a lot of hype in the media during this period, but Chinatown really can't come up with a solution. Their role in this kind of thing is very passive. It is inappropriate no matter what. If you say too much, you will be wrong. The best way is to remain silent. , cold treatment.

But as a result, it is inevitable that there will be unrest within the team, especially among some players. It is inevitable to worry. Many problems that were covered up when the results were good in the past are now beginning to emerge one after another.

However, this is normal, because there are so many people in a team, no one has their own thoughts and ideas, and there are a lot of rumors outside, let alone a young team like Chinatown, even teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid Once the established teams encounter this kind of problem, they will still face a trough.

Therefore, the key question is how to resolve it.

"What did Pochettino say?" Gao Han frowned and asked with concern.

"He was also quite anxious. He originally planned to come in person, but in the end he decided to stay and lead the team in training. At this time, the team needs him to stabilize the overall situation." Cantarero replied.

Gao Han nodded, he agreed with Pochettino's approach, and the team needed him to take charge at this time.

"what about you?"

After Cantarero and Armando Marcos looked at each other, they nodded and said: "My suggestion is that you try to take some time to go back to the team and meet the players. No matter what we say at this time, There are many, but it will be more effective without you personally coming forward and giving them your promise personally."

Gao Han thought about it for a while, took the mobile phone next to him, flipped through the calendar, and nodded, "Okay, I will try to go back tomorrow. You tell Pochettino, stabilize the team and confidence at this time, what else can you do?" All important.”

"Understood," Cantarero replied.

He has been coaching Gao Han for so many years, so it is impossible for him not to understand the importance of confidence at this moment.

For a team like Chinatown to be able to play so smoothly this season, the bottom line is that everyone in the team is holding their breath and the more they play, the more confident they become. But once this confidence is shattered, then the morale will be broken. The team was completely knocked back to its original shape.

Relegation is unlikely, but Champions League qualification is definitely out of the question.

And more importantly, once the team is in trouble, the growth and progress of the players will be greatly affected.

Sometimes a professional team's game is very similar to a student's exam. In addition to the usual hard work, it also depends on the on-the-spot performance. The same knowledge level can test 80%, and extraordinary performance can test 90%, or even One hundred, but if you make a mistake on the spot, you may score 60, 70, or even fail at any time.

The team has now fallen from third to fourth in the league and was reversed by Atletico Madrid. This will certainly have some impact, but it will not be too fatal after all. But if left unchecked, once the team falls out of the top four in the league, morale will suffer. and confidence will plummet, and by that time, it will be difficult to recover.

Cantarero is very experienced, so he is able to assess the situation and choose to come to Gao Han at a critical moment when the team has lost four games. At this time, only Gao Han, the protagonist of the storm, can save some situations.

At this time, agent Jorge Mendes, who had been sitting aside, also spoke up.

"I've had someone investigate and the incident was initiated by a column written by Zambrano."

"Zambrano?" Gao Han was no stranger to this name.

"Over the years, he has been using your name to make a living. Your name appears in almost every issue of his column, and it is basically detrimental to you. Without you, his whole family would have been hungry. died."

When Jorge Mendes said this, he continued angrily: "I have long disliked him. Do you want to teach him a lesson? So as not to be like a fly buzzing around all day long. Call."

Gao Han shook his head after hearing this, "No need, just a clown."

"Is it so cheap for him?" Mendes felt very unhappy.

With his status and connections in European football today, although he dare not say that he can cover the sky with one hand, there is definitely no problem if he has to deal with Zambrano, even if he is standing behind Zambrano. Si Baodu may not intervene.

This circle can be called big or small, and there are many common interests. Mendes thinks he still has some influence.

"There are many famous people, so this kind of thing is inevitable. What's more, they didn't go out of their way this time. What they said and reported are all facts. Even if they didn't report it, other media would publish it sooner or later. If we take revenge for this, , what will others say? How will they see it? Doesn’t it make us look very small?”

Gao Han has known Zambrano for more than a day or two. Over the years, he has often been angered by his columns, but he often calms down and thinks about it. Based on his status and status, it is not self-degradation to vent his anger on him. Worth?

Besides, every game has its own rules, and the same is true for professional football.

"But the more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel." Mendes is still angry.

Although Chinatown has nothing to do with him, he has also contributed a lot to Chinatown. After all, he has watched him grow up with his own eyes. For ten years, he was about to enter the Champions League, but he was defeated by Aspen and Zanbu. Who would be willing to do this to Lano?

AS is the authoritative newspaper in Spain, the uncrowned king, let alone Mendes. Barcelona and Real Madrid can't do anything to them, but Zambrano is different, it is easy to deal with him.

"I'm not angry, so why are you angry?" Gao Han laughed and scolded angrily, "Don't worry, let the company's legal counsel wait. We don't care about the identity of the past things, but next, Ah If the Spanish newspaper and Zambrano make any outrageous remarks in my reports, I will bite them to death."

At the end of the day, Gao Han also became angry.

It would be too mean to use conspiracy and trickery. If you want to take revenge, you must do it openly and with reason.

It’s the 21st century now, you have to know how to keep pace with the times, buddy!

Mendes felt the meaning in Gao Han's eyes and couldn't help but secretly cheer.

Slander is a serious crime.

Especially with Gao Han's current worth and influence, any damage to his reputation would be enough for Zambrano to lose all his family property and chop off Aspen's extended claws.

In the past, Gao Han was relatively laissez-faire towards Zambrano, and it was too easy to find faults.

It's a trick that's calculated intentionally but not intentionally!

"By the way, what else?" Gao Han smiled and looked at Armando Marcos and Cantarero.

Only then did the general manager of Chinatown smile, albeit a bit bitterly, "Actually, we can't say that we have gained nothing from this incident."

"What do you mean?" Gao Han and Mendes didn't quite understand.

"In the past period of time, we have attracted the attention of the world's media and become famous. Although it has brought a lot of losses to the team, it has also caused many sponsors that we were trying to win to begin to re-evaluate their relationship with us. cooperate."

"Have you hit a wall?" Gao Han frowned.

"No, no, no, just the opposite." Armando Marcos laughed. "Many sponsors who had no interest in us are now very interested in us. In the past few days, our colleagues in the commercial department have been saying We received calls on the spot, and in the coming period we will gradually arrange for sponsors and brands who are interested in cooperating with us to come to Madrid to visit and negotiate.”

"According to our current preliminary conservative estimate, we can win a sponsorship contract of at least 10 million euros."

"Really?" Gao Han was full of surprises. Is there any unexpected gain?

"It's absolutely true that 10 million euros is just our most conservative estimate. The main reason is that two contracts are close to being signed. If everything goes well, it will definitely be far more than this amount, ranging from 20 to 30 million euros. possible."

Gao Han feels much more comfortable now. He lost a third place in the league. If he can keep the fourth place in the league and get a sponsorship contract of 20 to 30 million euros, then this deal will be a good deal.

"But I don't quite understand, why?"

"It's very simple. This is not a scandal. Every report in the media is indirectly helping us to promote us, allowing more companies and brands to recognize us again and understand the spirit of our club. In fact, it has stimulated many people who did not know us before. , or potential partners who don’t understand us.”

When Armando Marcos said this, Gao Han understood.

"I plan to take advantage of this momentum and ask my colleagues to work harder to improve the club's brand, not only in Europe, but also in North America and Asia, especially China. I am very confident about this. Yes, we will definitely see results within two to three years.”

Gao Han could feel the confidence and determination of Armando Marcos, "Okay, Armando, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Armando Marcos said with excitement.

For him, being able to go from being a nobody to becoming the most famous figure in Spanish football today is all thanks to Gao Han and Chinatown, and personally turning Chinatown into a top La Liga team is very important to him. It is not only a big challenge for me, but also an excellent opportunity to prove my ability.

"I have branches in the Middle East, North America and Asia. We entered the business there earlier and are more familiar with it. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time." Mendes said generously.

He is now not only the top broker in Europe, but also has business presence in Asia, the Middle East and North America. This is also a business that he has been operating in recent years, and it is progressing very smoothly.

Everyone present knew that half of the shares in Mendes' agency belonged to Gao Han. Since Chinatown is Gao Han's team, there is no need to divide them so finely, and it is natural for them to support each other.

"Then tell me, should I write a thank-you letter to Aspen and Zambrano?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

The three people on the opposite side also thought it was funny. If I really wrote this to them, what would their expressions be like when they received it?

"I think it would be better for you to be more generous and place an advertisement directly on the front page of Aspen. It doesn't require much. You just need to write and say, thank you for sending me the money, and it will be signed in your name. Then I can guarantee that they will We will definitely try our best to figure it out, but won’t that indirectly hype up Chinatown again?”

"Hey, this is a good idea, you can have it!" Gao Han immediately made a move to make a decision.

Everyone was also amused.

Everyone knows that this is purely a joke, and Aspen Newspaper cannot accept such an advertisement.

This time, though, Chinatown is a blessing in disguise.

It would be even better if we could keep the top four in the league.
