Super Marshal

"Have you watched the videos I sent you?"

Through his laptop, Gao Han had a remote video chat with Van Gaal in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Opposite Van Gaal is not idle either. During his stay in China, he collected a lot of information about the BJ team and the Chinese Super League, and also took away a lot of game videos. He is now busy making up lessons.

This is also the reason why he has no intention of participating in the team's transfer operations. Firstly, he is really not familiar with it, and secondly, he trusts Gao Han very much.

If nothing else, let’s just say that in the past few years, under the auspices of Gao Han, every reorganization of Chinatown has been done very well. The lineups he created for Pochettino and Zidane are very good, even this year. In the summer, the Hemorrhage sold eight core players, but Chinatown is now firmly locked in second place in the league.

New coach Ernesto Valverde also relied on his few months of coaching in Chinatown to become famous in Europe's football world.

It was precisely because of his trust in Gao Han that Van Gaal dared to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

In the video, Van Gaal paused the TV on the wall, turned to face the video, nodded and said: "I've watched it all, it's very good. Where did you dig it out?"

"The Brazilian league is full of talents. You can find them just by digging them up." Gao Han chuckled.

"Don't do this." Van Gaal waved his hand, obviously not interested in Gao Han's playful smile. "I know it must be Mendes. His intelligence network in Brazil is really strong."

Gao Han nodded, this is really not a lie.

When he first met Mendes that year, this guy was just a partner of Brazilian football giant Figel in Portugal and had little business in Europe. In order to recommend a player, he went to Atletico Madrid to find Gao Han. .

Since then, Mendes' development has been getting smoother and smoother. Not only has he developed vigorously in the Iberian Peninsula, he has also taken advantage of the decline of Figel to take over the Brazilian domestic league. Over the years, he has made his agent The network has spread throughout Europe, North America, South America and Asia, although Africa is relatively weak.

If Mendes relied on Gao Han's sharp eyes in the early days, then in the past few years, the scout network he has established has become an invincible tool for his agency empire, selecting countless outstanding talents for him, and then promoting them to all around the world.

And Gao Han is happy to sit back and enjoy the gains. After all, he holds half of the shares in Mendes' agency empire. Even today, Mendes still relies more or less on Gao Han's reputation in European football.

"That Richarlison is very strong. He has excellent passing skills and dribbling ability. He is very skilled with both left and right feet. Judging from his performance in the video, he is also good in physical confrontation. He can walk on the ground and compete for high balls. His skills are exquisite. He is very explosive, has some Brazilian unrestrainedness, but also has a good sense of teamwork. Such a player will quickly stand out no matter where he goes."

"Yeah, so be quick and take action when you're right." Gao Han said with a smile.

Richarlison, born in 1997, is only nineteen years old now.

Before the age of sixteen, he had been playing in the youth team of an unknown small team, but he was quickly spotted by an agent that Mendes worked with, and in December 2014, he joined Joined the Brazilian second-division team Mineiro América.

In the Mineiro América team, Richarlison got 24 appearances, 21 starts, scored nine goals and three assists. One year later, he was recommended by his agent to the Brazilian giant Fluminense. The transfer fee is 2.5 million euros.

In Fluminense, Richarlison also quickly emerged. Thirty-one games, 19 starts, 12 substitutes, but only scored four goals and one assist, and his performance was not as good as Mineiro America. The glory at that time, but considering that he is only nineteen years old, it is his first time to join a team, and he has been promoted from the second level to the first level. It is definitely exciting to have such a performance.

"You know Mendes, his original plan was to stay in Brazil and play for another year. After he accumulated some fame, he would be sent to Europe when the time was right. This way he could make a lot of money, but I plan to Act quickly."

Van Gaal nodded slightly, apparently okay with that.

Richarlison is the kind of player who has strong personal abilities and is also very team-minded. In addition, his foot skills and physical confrontation ability are not weak, and his characteristics are comprehensive. Such a player is popular no matter where he goes.

"What do you think of that 21-year-old central defender?"

"Lucas Verissimo?" Van Gaal thought for a while, "Not bad. He is quite tall and his confrontation ability is not bad. He performed very well in the deep position and made many eye-catching clearances. He shines brightly, and his passing is very good, especially long passes to launch attacks. This is enough to make up for the shortcomings in other aspects. With further training, he has a bright future."

At this moment, Van Gaal really had to admire Gao Han for being able to dig out such a talent.

Richarlison has just emerged in Fluminense, and Lucas Verissimo is also new to the scene. Even though he is already 21 years old, he has not yet been in the Santos first team. To keep his footing, Gao Han and Mendez were already eyeing him.

With such ability, they should indeed dominate the field of brokers.

"Did that Atul remind you of anyone?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

"Harvey, he looks a lot like Harvey when he first debuted."

Arthur, 20 years old, is Gremio's midfielder. He is not tall, only 1.72 meters tall, but his ability to handle the ball is very strong. He is very quick with his feet, protecting the ball and sudden changes in rhythm. His ball control ability is amazing, and his passing success rate is very high. His personal ability and overall outlook are also very good, and he also has good defensive ability.

But such a player has only served as a substitute for Gremio so far, and it is difficult to get a chance to play in the first team.

These three players are playing for different teams, but they are all from Brazil. After Gao Han's sharp inspection, they all feel that they are worthy of big tasks and have a very bright future. As long as they are cultivated properly, they can be sold for a good price in two or three years. It's not difficult at all.

And this is Gao Han’s positioning for BJ Chinatown and even the Chinese Super League.

From the tone of his conversation with Van Gaal, Gao Han could tell that he was quite satisfied with the three foreign players.

After all, these were carefully selected by Gao Han.

…………

…………

According to the team formation strategy discussed by Gao Han and Begiristain, three Brazilian foreign players will form the central axis, supplemented by local Chinese players, including some overseas players.

This was also the decision Gao Han made after his previous inspection in Europe. He felt that instead of staying in Europe and wasting time on the bench, these players should return to China quickly and improve themselves as soon as possible when they need competition training most. When I have the opportunity to gain strength, it’s not too late to go abroad.

This group of players will include Yang Liyu, Tang Shi, Zhang Xiuwei, Lin Liangming, Liu Yiming and Wei Shihao. Some of them have already wanted to return to China and have been invited by domestic teams, but they have received help from Gao Han before. , re-looking for a team, but judging from the past year, they still cannot integrate into European football.

Gao Han himself also felt helpless about this, because the players' strength is definitely enough to gain a foothold in the European League, but the gap in football thinking and technical and tactical qualities, coupled with the language barrier, has caused them to be unable to integrate. .

It can be said that these have become the biggest obstacles for Chinese players to study abroad.

Also returning will be several players from Chinatown's youth training, including a goalkeeper who Gao Han has high hopes for. He will serve as Yang Zhi's substitute in the new season and even compete with Yang Zhi for the main goalkeeper position.

This is not surprising at all. After all, the type of goalkeepers that Frans Hoque, whom Van Gaal relies on the most, admires the most is very similar to the goalkeepers trained in Chinatown. The possibility of Van Gaal boldly making an exception and promoting him cannot be ruled out.

Of course, Gao Han will definitely not be involved in how to use troops.

As for the current group of players, those who are too old or do not meet Van Gaal's requirements will definitely be sent away. The team will control the lineup to about 25 players, and generally they will be young players. Mainly, international players Zhang Xizhe, Yu Dabao, Yang Zhi, Zhang Chengdong and other players in their prime are basically determined to stay on the team.

In addition, Gao Han has also notified Begiristain and drawn up a list for the other party. Once the acquisition of the BJ team is completed, the team will begin to fully invest in transfer operations. Several domestic players include Deng Hanwen, Gao Zhunyi, He Chao and others were personally inspected by Gao Han when he was in the national team. They are young and have great potential.

As for the most important left back, Gao Han asked Begiristan to fully operate Jiang Zhipeng.

This international player in his prime is not only favored by Gao Han, but also the type that Van Gaal admires most, especially the speed and wing advantages that Jiang Zhipeng can provide on the left wing. These are all in Van Gaal's favor. Plays a decisive role in the tactical system.

As for Jiang Zhipeng, it goes without saying that he is strong, but the price is also very high. It is expected that he may set a new transfer fee record and become the most expensive local player in the history of the Chinese Super League. If the transfers of other players are also included, this transfer period will The total investment will be an astronomical figure.

However, the BJ team will also recover a very considerable transfer fee by selling some players that do not meet the team's plan. After all, BJ is also an old team and there is no shortage of famous players in the team. With the current value of local players, it is not difficult to sell them for a good price. It’s difficult, and if it’s still not enough, isn’t there Chinatown behind it?

The transfer fee of one billion euros has not been spent so far.

Both Gao Han and Begiristain believe that the best way to recruit players is to use player exchange. This not only achieves the purpose of recruiting, but also can send away redundant players in the team. As for the price difference, the price difference can be made up through funds.

Not only that, the home stadium of BJ Chinatown will also be officially moved out in the new season. As long as the government approves it, the demolition will start immediately and the construction of the new stadium will officially begin. Therefore, Lin Guoping is currently in intensive contact, hoping to find a suitable stadium as soon as possible as a new stadium. The home ground before the stadium was completed.

There are many objects currently under consideration, including the National Stadium Bird's Nest. The biggest obstacle is that the facilities in the Bird's Nest do not meet the requirements of Chinatown, and the rent is too expensive, so the possibility is not very high. Chinatown will be re-opened. Consider other courses.

It can be said that the closer the acquisition of the BJ team comes to an end, the more things Gao Han needs to handle personally. In addition, the national team will face the challenge of Qatar in November, and Gao Han has to prepare earlier.

Fortunately, Soriano and Begiristain have already entered their positions in advance, and with the help of old people from BJ Chinatown such as Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming, I believe they can quickly enter their roles.

As for the team, well, Gao Han decided that he must quickly find a reason to drag the old man Van Gaal into trouble. He couldn't just watch from the sidelines, he had to get him into the role quickly.

Watching the final stages of the Chinese Super League is indeed a very good choice, Gao Han thinks.

When that time comes, Gao Han can breathe a sigh of relief.
