Super Marshal

After answering Wenger's call, Gao Han gently put down the phone in his palm and exhaled heavily.

What was supposed to come finally came!

"Whose phone number?" Sergio Garcia, an old friend sitting opposite him, asked strangely.

Not many people can make Gao Han's face become solemn after answering a phone call.

"Wenger." Gao Han replied.

Sergio Garcia is very aware of the current transfer pattern in European football, and he guessed it immediately, "For Michu?"

"Yes." Gao Han nodded, "50 million euros, they are willing to pay the termination fee."

"Fifty million euros?" Sergio Garcia was a little surprised. "Wenger is going to take a big gamble."

Who says it's not?

This is already the highest transfer fee record since Wenger took charge of Arsenal, and it is completely different from the cost-effective signings that Wenger has emphasized in the past. This time, he invested huge sums of money to operate Michu, which shows Arsenal's determination.

But Gao Han is not surprised by Wenger's decision.

After selling Robin van Persie, Nasri and Cesc Fabregas, Wenger has a transfer budget of 150 million euros, but the actual investment in signings is not much, and the overall strength of the team has declined compared to before. , if another high-level player is not introduced on the front line, then what awaits Wenger may be the dilemma of weak offense.

In the current environment of European football, if Arsenal wants to ensure the team's performance, it must increase its investment.

Not only Arsenal, but also Chinatown this year.

Chinatown spent a total of 10 million euros to introduce Godin. This is the highest transfer fee in Chinatown's history, and it was given to a central defender. Why?

The reason is very simple. Otamendi and Alderweireld have left the team. Chinatown will play in the Champions League in the new season. It is impossible to rely on a group of 18 or 19-year-old kids to fight. Although they have unlimited potential, they lack experience. In the Champions League, You will only be ravaged by your opponents on the field.

Miranda has excellent strength, but is not familiar with the European leagues, so introducing Godin can ensure the stability of the team's defense.

Of course, this transfer is also very risky. Whether the central defender combination of Miranda and Godin can work depends on Pochettino's training skills, plus the two young players Varane and De Vrij, China City The back line of defense is not afraid that no one will use it.

This kind of signing plan is in line with Chinatown's goals for the new season, participating in the Champions League group stage and ensuring the top four in La Liga.

The situation in the Premier League is even worse than in La Liga, and the competition is more fierce. With other competitors burning money, it is difficult for Wenger's Gunners to be alone, especially at the forward position.

Losing the top four in the league will cost Arsenal tens of millions of euros.

Therefore, even if Michu is not brought in, Arsenal will definitely bring in a high-level center who has proven himself in the four major leagues, and such centers are often not cheap.

It's a big gamble, but in fact, Arsenal have no choice at all.

"Michu is 25 years old this year. As long as there are no injuries, he can play for at least five more years. With his current strength, he is completely viable at Arsenal. The Gunners don't need to worry about the striker in five years. I think this deal The transfer is worth it."

Thanks to the training system created by Gao Han for Chinatown, Michu has made great progress during his year on the team. Especially after switching to center, the role change has been smooth and comprehensive, with very high tactical value. , spending 50 million euros for such a player, Arsenal will not suffer at all.

Especially in the current European transfer market.

Sergio Garcia still agrees with Gao Han's judgment. Wenger is an economist and must have calculated carefully before doing anything. If he buys Michu, he must have his own set of considerations and ideas.

It’s nothing more than a comparison of income and output.

"But what do we do now?" Sergio Garcia asked worriedly.

The current pre-season training camp in Chinatown is coming to an end. During the entire summer preparations and warm-up matches, Michu has performed very well and is well adjusted to prepare for the fourth qualifying round of the Champions League in August.

But unfortunately, Arsenal also has to participate in the fourth qualifying round, so the Gunners insist on completing the transfer before the qualifying rounds.

"What can we do?" Gao Han raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "Inform Carlos and let him find a solution on his own."

In fact, Chinatown's technical team has already made a plan. No matter whether a player in any position in the team leaves, the team will be able to introduce appropriate players to fill the vacancies in the team as soon as possible. Even the head coach With Pochettino leaving the team, Chinatown has suitable replacements.

The greatest significance of the existence of Carlos Cantarero, the technical director, is to ensure the stability of the team's overall tactical system framework and to ensure that the team will not affect the ball due to the departure of any player or head coach. team competitiveness.

In the past few years, Cantarero has done well in this position, and Gao Han is very assured of him.

…………

The cold is coming to France!

This news spread to every corner of the world in a very short period of time.

Although there have been rumors about Gao Han coaching Paris Saint-Germain for a long time, when this moment actually came, it still surprised everyone. Many people did not understand why Gao Han would choose to coach a wealthy team like Paris Saint-Germain?

In addition to reporting the news of Gao Han's arrival in Paris on the front page, L'Equipe also dedicated two pages to detail the relationship between Gao Han and Paris Saint-Germain, especially the Qatari consortium behind the Ligue 1 tycoons. Not only is it currently The sponsor of the Chinatown chest advertisement is also the title sponsor of the new stadium.

As a result, many media and fans speculated that Gao Han coached Paris Saint-Germain because of this relationship.

Or it should be said that the Qatari consortium sponsored Chinatown in the hope of inviting Gao Han to coach, and Gao Han reciprocated the favor. After leaving Manchester City, he coached Paris Saint-Germain and completed his legendary journey to the Grand Slam in the five major European leagues.

On the contrary, Gao Han himself did not have much explanation for coaching Paris Saint-Germain.

On the next day, Paris Saint-Germain quietly invited a number of well-connected media and held a brief signing ceremony at the Parc des Princes. The club officially appointed Gao Han as the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain. Gao Han explained his coaching on the spot. The reason for Paris Saint-Germain.

"Actually, there is no other reason, just because I like novelty and adventure."

But Gao Han's explanation, which was a bit like a joke, obviously failed to satisfy the media and fans. Many people began to explore the reasons. Some even believed that Gao Han coached Paris Saint-Germain purely for money.

With an annual salary of 100 million euros after tax, plus bonuses for winning games, Gao Han can earn a huge annual salary every year at Paris Saint-Germain.

So some media and reporters began to accuse Gao Han, thinking that he was too unscrupulous to coach Paris Saint-Germain for money, and he is not short of money at all now, especially after the media revealed that Gao Han spent 10 million euros to play in France. When he bought a single-family mansion in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, it even caused dissatisfaction among many fans.

They all believe that a head coach like Gao Han should stay in the four major leagues, or even coach a wealthy team, instead of going to a rich team like Paris Saint-Germain for money, which is a kind of decadence.

But just when voices questioning and criticizing Gao Han were gradually rising, a piece of news from the Chinese media circle silenced everyone again. The BJ Chinatown Youth Training Center founded by Gao Han reached an agreement with the Guangzhou Municipal Government to build a new campus in Guangzhou. Preparing to build the second Chinatown Youth Training Center is expected to cost RMB 500 million.

Gao Han flew to BJ from Paris to attend the signing ceremony and delivered a speech at the ceremony.

He said that the concept of Chinatown is to insist on youth training. In addition to BJ and Guangzhou Youth Training Center, Chinatown also plans to build three new youth training centers in China in the future. The total investment is expected to exceed 2 billion yuan. He hopes to help Chinese football improves the strength of its youth training and improves its football level.

At the same time, Gao Han also said that Chinatown will continue to increase its efforts to promote coach training, and will also cooperate with the General Administration of Sports and the Chinese Football Association to introduce a complete set of high-level referee training systems from abroad to further improve domestic coaches. Especially the professional level of youth training coaches, while improving the law enforcement capabilities of domestic referees.

"There is no doubt that there are still many problems in Chinese football and leagues. Our football level is very low and the domestic football atmosphere is at its lowest point. But I have always firmly believed that China has a population of 1.3 billion. The country can definitely do a good job in football, and we can definitely cultivate our own superstars."

"It's easy to scold, and it's easy to show off your wits, but some things need to be done down-to-earth, especially things like youth training. There is no persistent investment and no formula for China's special national conditions. The youth training system cannot be successful.”

"Maybe, it seems silly and naive, but I don't mind being a naive fool."

The news that Gao Han is preparing to build a youth training center in China has not only excited domestic fans, but also hopes that the youth training center in Chinatown can be successful and, like BJ Chinatown, can cultivate a group of outstanding young players for Chinese football. Even foreign media reporters and fans were shocked.

Two billion yuan, two hundred million euros, this is almost Gao Han's annual contract salary at Paris Saint-Germain.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that this was the real reason why Gao Han coached Paris Saint-Germain.

Perhaps Gao Han does do it for money, but he does not make money for his own enjoyment. Instead, he hopes to invest the money in China's youth training and strive to improve the football level of his motherland.

Isn't this also very common in European football stars who come from weak football countries?

As a result, not only was Gao Han's image not affected in the slightest by coaching Paris Saint-Germain, but it was further elevated by media and fans around the world.

Gao Han didn't pay attention to the rumors and hype from the outside world at all.

With his current status, there is no need to care about any external evaluation of him. He is focused solely on Paris Saint-Germain's tactical drills and preparing for the first round of Ligue 1 on August 6.

This will be Gao Han's first appearance at the Parc des Princes, against Lorient.

But just as the French Ligue 1 league was about to ignite the flames of war, The Sun, which has always been good at digging up explosive news, suddenly published breaking news.

Arsenal will introduce Spanish striker Michu from Chinatown for a record price of 50 million euros.

This piece of news was quickly confirmed by many industry insiders, saying that the team has reached a consensus with Chinatown, and Michu will also arrive in London in the near future to undergo a medical examination with Arsenal.

But for all fans who care about Chinatown, this is like a bolt from the blue.

Michu transfers to Arsenal?

What about Chinatown's forward line in the new season?
