Super Marshal

In fact, even if Ferguson didn't say anything, Gao Han would still be able to receive some news.

With Jorge Mendes' status and influence in European football today, he can get accurate information in advance about almost every transfer in the four major leagues. He knows who wants to buy and who wants to sell. .

The funniest thing is that some media are speculating on rumors and hyping up the situation, causing the fans to join in the booing. However, people who know the inside story will feel that this is not the same at all.

It seems that some media speculated that Ferguson is interested in Wolfsburg center Dzeko. This speculation is relatively reliable. Gao Han concluded that Dzeko is indeed in Ferguson's plan, but said that he is Ferguson's first choice. That would be a bit unrealistic.

The reason is simple. With Berbatov's lessons learned, Ferguson must have reservations about Dzeko.

Of course, some media also mentioned Michu. This has obvious benefits for Chinatown. Michu's net worth has increased a lot.

There are two different price points for being a person in a sedan chair and being spotted by Manchester United, and being spotted by Everton.

However, the media tide soon turned.

Not because of the Champions League final, but because of Giggs' affair.

The first time Gao Han heard about this was when Guardian reporter Greene Wald sent him first-hand information after the last training session at Carrington this season. As a result, he was shocked beyond measure.

"What did you say?" Gao Han opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe his ears, "An affair?"

Greenwald, on the other hand, looked like an old man who was used to the storm, and nodded calmly.

"How is this possible?" Gao Han shook his head, "Giggs, a super honest man known to the world, would have an affair?"

Gao Han's words are absolutely correct. Giggs is indeed very low-key in Premier League football and his image has always been very good. Especially his performance at Manchester United in recent years has made him stronger and stronger. This season, veterans such as Scholes have After retiring, he was the only remaining representative figure in Manchester United's Class 92.

Of course, Beckham hasn't retired yet, but he is no longer playing for Manchester United.

"It's absolutely true, and this may just be the beginning."

"Tricked?" Gao Han's first reaction was that he was jumped by the immortal.

You know, professional football is a vanity fair. There are countless women around the world who rely on their beauty and figure, eager to get close to football stars and become famous overnight. There are even many people who will dig holes for players to jump, and all the players are As strong as an ox and full of energy, it is difficult to resist temptation. I don’t know how many people have fallen into this trap throughout the ages.

Beckham fell down before, Rooney also failed, and it would not be surprising for Giggs to fail again.

"According to the information I have learned so far, no."

"no?"

Greenwald nodded. As a famous British journalist, he also had his own sources of information.

"This thread has been on the radar for a long time, and now it's just the first one that's been exposed, former Miss Wales Imogen Thomas, who is also Defoe's ex-girlfriend and a reality TV star."

Gao Han smiled bitterly, Defoe's ex-girlfriend...

"Imogene may just be the first one. The current media is following the clues to investigate. It is very likely that they will pull out the radish and bring out the mud. As soon as they dig up, they will find a bunch. At least for now, I know of more than one. The earliest can be traced back to ten years." A few years ago, the most famous among them was Beckham's sister-in-law and Victoria's sister, and the oldest one was already in her forties."

"Does Ferguson know?" Gao Han was curious.

The old man probably doesn't have much mind to care about other things recently, and he might be so angry that his blood vessels will burst.

"After so many years, I must have been aware of it to some extent, but I probably don't know so much. And now many media are digging deeper. It is said that the News of the World has captured an even more explosive piece of information, which is enough to shock the whole world. "

"What shocking news?" Gao Han asked in a gossipy manner.

The News of the World, a famous British gossip tabloid, is famous for digging up the inside stories of celebrity scandals. Rooney's prostitution scandal was previously dug up by this media. In the past few years, many celebrities have fallen into their hands.

Greenwald chuckled. He had rarely seen such a gossipy side of Gao Han.

"Giggs and his brother's wife..."

Gao Han opened his eyes and wiped it, this news is quite exciting.

"real or fake?"

"The News of the World is already digging. As soon as it has definite evidence, it will be made public immediately. Everyone is waiting, and this time it is very likely that the heroine will come forward to testify in person."

Gao Han was stunned and kept shaking his head. After this series of news, Giggs' image was probably ruined.

"The main reason is that he is too romantic. He was able to flatter everyone before, but over time, mistakes will inevitably appear. You know, this kind of thing is a scandal for stars, but for some people, it is like a rise to power. Opportunity."

Of course Gao Han understands.

Just like the heroine of the Giggs scandal.

As long as this turmoil subsides, the label of Giggs girls attached to them will make them worth a hundred times.

Seeing Gao Han's silence, Greenwald smiled maliciously and said, "To be honest, do you have anything..."

The way this guy hesitated to speak seemed to be saying, you know.

"No." Gao Han denied.

"I'm very serious. If there is any, I can help you plan and cover it up."

"Shit, how many times have you seen me going out to socialize over the years?"

When Greenwald thought about it, it was indeed true.

Gao Han is notoriously low-key in their media circle. He rarely goes out to socialize, and he is rarely interviewed. It is either a press conference or an interview with some personal friends, and some unfamiliar people want to interview him. It is difficult to reach him.

Apart from training every day, he basically stays at home and never goes out. His relationship with Lin Xia is also very good.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed not easy.

Being in this high and cold position, there are too many temptations. If there were any, I am afraid that the news would have been out long ago.

For example, Wenger was exposed before.

"I heard that Barcelona has temporarily changed their schedule this time and decided to arrive in London today, and they will live in the Grover Hotel in northeast London and train at Arsenal's Colney training base."

"So early?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

"Yes, and I heard that Guardiola arranged for Puyol to play left back in the last training session. Do you think it is possible that he could be his surprise player?" Greenwald asked.

Gao Han frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's unlikely."

"Why?"

"Although Sanchez is also good at cutting inside, he is even more sharp with crosses from the bottom. Puyol is a right-footed player. If I use him to defend Sanchez, I will definitely be happy."

After Gao Han analyzed this, Greenwald understood.

Puyol plays as a left back and can defend the inverted right winger, but it is definitely not possible to defend against Sanchez.

"So, it's still Abidal?"

Gao Han nodded, "We are inseparable."

…………

Greenwald visited Carrington. In addition to bringing some information about Barcelona that he had collected, he also got the information he wanted about Manchester City. He was the only media member allowed by Gao Han to enter Carrington. reporter.

Of course, as Gao Han's friend for many years, he knows very well what can be repaid and when it should be repaid, and he will have a sense of proportion.

After sending Greenwald away, Gao Han organized an internal discussion and organized the players and coaching staff to watch the game between Bayern Munich and Barcelona two years ago. Gao Han pointed out many details in the game and told all the players Introduce how to play this final.

"Tactical use, emotional control, understanding your opponent, and understanding yourself are all important. The most important thing is whether you have the determination and confidence to become the European champion. This is the key to this final. factor."

Gao Han's loud words sounded the alarm to all the players before the game.

Although Barcelona has many defensive problems, and most people were optimistic about Gao Han and Manchester City before the game, once they are careless and relaxed, they may be in doom anytime and anywhere.

After the discussion, everyone went to the restaurant for dinner. After the lunch break, the team packed up their luggage in the afternoon and went to Manchester Railway Station to board the train south to London.

Like Barcelona, ​​Manchester City also arrived in London two days in advance.

On the team's way south to London, UEFA also officially announced on its official website that the referee for this Champions League final will be the 35-year-old referee Victor Casse from Hungary, and the entire coaching staff is from Hungary.

Interestingly, Victor Casse has officiated five Champions League games this season, but has not officiated any games between Barcelona and Manchester City, so the impression of him on both sides can be said to be relatively unfamiliar.

It is estimated that this is also the impact of UEFA taking into account the semi-finals.

When Real Madrid played Manchester City, the referee was the German referee Stark. However, this referee knew Gao Han. They met in the tunnel before the game and had a brief conversation. This made Real Madrid catch him. Chance believed that Gao Han intended to influence the referee, but both parties said that it was just a courtesy after the meeting.

In addition, players from both teams were indeed gathered in the player tunnel at that time, so UEFA finally rejected Real Madrid's appeal. However, it may be this time that made UEFA's arrangements for the referee of the final difficult. Be more cautious.

On the afternoon of the second day after arriving in London, under the arrangement of UEFA, the team went to Wembley Stadium for the last training session before the game, and at the same time, they also adapted to the turf of Wembley Stadium.

Manchester City just played an FA Cup final here two weeks ago, so they are familiar with the situation here.

The turf of Wembley Stadium has always been criticized and has been criticized by countless people, including Ferguson and Wenger, who accused it of being a vegetable patch.

There are many excellent groundskeepers in England who are also very professional in court maintenance and turf laying. They quickly found a solution. Coincidentally, Wembley Stadium spent 30 million pounds to introduce a golf course manager. The first game after using the new turf technology to improve the turf of the stadium was the League Cup final in which Gao Han coached Manchester City.

Since then, Gao Han has led his team to win the championship trophy every time he appeared at Wembley Stadium.

Because of this, this place is also regarded as Gao Han's blessed place. The whole of England is full of confidence in Gao Han's battle and hopes that he can keep the St. Bradford Cup in England. This is not only the glory of Manchester City, but also the glory of English football. The glory is the glory of Wembley Stadium.

Because they are very familiar with Wembley Stadium, Manchester City's last training session was more focused on recovery training and more preparation for tomorrow's Champions League final.

In this regard, Gao Han even did not hesitate to open Manchester City's training sessions to all fans, and even arranged the main lineup during team training. This was interpreted by the media as a sign of Gao Han's confidence.

This is somewhat like announcing the starting lineup in advance.
