Super Marshal

Gao Han has never been a pedantic person. On the contrary, he knows how to be flexible.

Although he loves offense and holds high the banner of offensive football, he can also adopt defensive counterattack tactics if necessary.

He is a person with ideals, but he is by no means a person who will risk everything for his ideals.

This is true for coaching on the field, and it is also true for running Chinatown.

European professional football is a very real vanity fair, and all parties are motivated by interests.

To put it bluntly, when Falcao joined Chinatown, didn't he hope to use the platform of Chinatown and Gao Han's endorsement to create favorable conditions for his development in European football?

Now the opportunity has come. If Gao Han prevents him from transferring, maybe instead of being grateful, he may blame Gao Han.

As for Mendez's round of analysis, Gao Han fully agreed.

From the rise of Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, to Inter Milan, to Bayern Munich, to today's Manchester City, coupled with the recovery of Real Madrid, the pursuit of high-level players in European football has gradually led to a tense situation in which supply exceeds demand.

Just like Real Madrid, after losing three major stars, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Kaka this summer, Florentino was forced to introduce Adebayor, but he was simply unable to fulfill the original offer. Fans' commitment.

Real Madrid has a budget of hundreds of millions of euros in its account but cannot spend it.

Florentino tried to persuade Ribery to join through Zidane, but Bayern Munich refused to let the Frenchman go. Even if Real Madrid raised the price to 100 million, they could not convince Bayern Munich.

This is generally the case with Robben.

In the current European football transfer market, high-level stars are often priced but not marketable, so that players like Falcao are immediately hyped to superstar status as soon as they appear, easily worth tens of millions of euros.

Of course, Gao Han’s endorsement is also crucial.

But what Gao Han values ​​​​more is another aspect, which is his ability to discover talents.

The Chinatown black shop model is the best and most beneficial choice for both the team and Gao Han.

And Pochettino's proposal is also very suitable for Gao Han.

That is to focus on maintaining performance and generating revenue from transfers, and both hands must be strong.

…

"Okay, Mauricio, I agree with you, so, what I mean is, of the 90 million euros, 10 million euros will be invested in the transfer market, and the remaining 80 million euros will be used as the new stadium construction budget. "

Gao Han made a decision on the spot. After speaking, he was afraid that Pochettino would worry, so he explained a little more.

"Don't worry, Mauricio. Although it's only 10 million euros, I guarantee that I can bring you three or four players of good quality, but I hope you can cooperate as much as possible."

"You said it." Pochettino admired Gao Han so much that he fell to the ground.

"I have basically watched the game videos of the past two or three seasons. I think that after Falcao leaves the team, we should not blindly pursue the introduction of centers, but should increase internal promotion efforts, such as Diego Costa. And Aubameyang."

These two players are also players that Gao Han values ​​​​very much and have extraordinary potential.

"Since Falcao joined last season, Diego Costa's playing style has always been in the direction of helping his partners. For example, when attacking, he will take the initiative to pull a central defender away for his teammates and go back and forth in the penalty area. Pulling the defense line, he is the team's central fulcrum, receiving passes from the midfield and backfield, especially mid-to-high balls, creating greater offensive space for Falcao."

"Indeed." Pochettino nodded. "The purpose of this is to take advantage of Falcao's scoring advantage."

"Yes, but I think Diego Costa is a very threatening scorer in his own right, but his shooting ability needs to be further refined. The same situation applies to Aubameyang. There was Falcao in the past. They serve Falcao more, but now they should take on more offensive tasks and fill the gap in the team's scoring ability."

"You mean...not to introduce scorers?" Cantarero asked with concern.

Gao Han nodded, "It's too expensive. To be honest, forwards with Falcao's scoring ability are worth quite a lot nowadays."

Otherwise, Chelsea wouldn't have lost their minds, so why would they come to poach Falcao?

It's not cost-effective to sign players in the transfer market, and it's understandable to train them yourself.

"I think we can give it a try." Pochettino believed in Gao Han's vision and judgment.

"Don't worry, both Aubameyang and Diego Costa need to be refined and improved, but we can improve the ability to create scoring opportunities in the midfield and frontcourt. Mkhitaryan and Hazard are both very good candidates, but only they It’s not enough, so I will introduce more cost-effective players in these positions to ensure the team’s offensive power.”

Gao Han's idea is right.

Scorers like Falcao are worth a lot. In this case, settle for the next best thing.

Diego Costa and Aubameyang can't compare to Falcao for the time being, but they are still young, have room for growth, and lack scoring ability, so increase their chances of starting.

When the shot conversion rate is low, increasing their kicking opportunities is also a means to improve the team's scoring ability.

Pochettino agrees with Gao Han's judgment, but if this happens, Chinatown will definitely continue to increase its offensive intensity.

This has always been Gao Han's style, and the perspective of considering the problem is still from the offensive direction.

But this will also bring a benefit: in the transfer market, offensive players can often be sold for a higher price than defensive players. This is good for Chinatown, which has decided to follow the black store model.

"What about the midfielder?" Pochettino asked concerned.

Like Gao Han and Bielsa, he attaches great importance to the midfielder.

The three unbeatable main midfielders of the Chinatown team this season are Ramirez, Schneiderlin and captain Marcos Senna. Ramirez has both offense and defense and is the most outstanding midfielder this season. Shi Nedlin is relatively young and his performance is average, while Marcos Senna is mature and stable and is the core of the team's midfield.

Illarramendi was introduced by Gao Han as the successor of Marcos Senna. He is currently being vigorously cultivated by the club, but his position is also behind. As for Isco and Koke, both are still very young. For the time being, Doesn't have the strength to serve as the main force.

After letting Ramirez go, the midfielder must introduce a good player.

After hearing this, Gao Han chuckled, "What do you think of Zaragoza's midfielder Ander Herrera?"

Ander Herrera?

Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect Gao Han to take a fancy to this player.

Ander Herrera, 20 years old, came from the Zaragoza youth academy and was also the captain of the youth team. In January 2009, he was officially promoted to the first team and represented the team in the Spanish Second Division. Made seventeen appearances and scored two goals.

After entering La Liga this season, he gradually established a foothold in the first team and became the team's main midfielder. But in terms of performance, it can only be said to be average. He has good foot skills, creativity, and can play in the middle. , shadow forward and left winger and many different positions.

In Zaragoza's tactical framework, he lurks behind the striker to create opportunities, but his performance is sometimes good and bad, and sometimes he is often self-defeating. It can be said that he is a relatively controversial young player.

Pochettino was also a little surprised by Gao Han's vision, but he had to take it seriously.

"I played against us not long ago. I think he is very talented, but he still needs further refinement."

Gao Han nodded, "You are right, he is an unpolished, immature and unstable young player, but I think he cannot be well cultivated in Zaragoza, at least his position is frequently changed. It's clear that Zaragoza haven't found a way to use him yet."

"You mean...use him to replace Ramirez?" Pochettino is also a smart man and makes sense.

Gao Han shook his head, "He and Ramirez are two different types. The Brazilian midfielder is more aggressive and has better defensive ability, but Herrera is more delicate, has better passing and ball control skills, and is more creative." force."

After a pause, Gao Han continued: "I think Herrera should retreat appropriately to improve his role on the defensive end. This will allow him to pay more attention to the balance of offense and defense, allowing him to get the ball more appropriately and go to the hinterland of the penalty area. Move and pass more threatening balls, I believe he will become more threatening."

It goes without saying that everyone knows how sharp Gao Han's vision is. He can analyze Ander Herrera in such an in-depth manner, which proves that he is indeed very optimistic about the Spanish midfielder.

In fact, both Pochettino and Cantarero have great trust in Gao Han's vision, and they are cultivating players according to Gao Han's ideas. For example, Isco, they moved him to the frontcourt to attack as a free agent. direction to cultivate.

Since Gao Han thinks Herrera can replace Ramirez, everyone has nothing to say.

With Herrera's current worth estimated to be around three to four million euros, Zaragoza is unlikely to refuse the money.

"By the way, Jorge, what's going on with Neymar now?" Gao Han asked with concern.

Neymar is a talented star who has become famous in Brazil in recent years. Gao Han has told Mendes early on that the latter has also been in contact with Neymar and is Neymar's only agent in Europe.

"Are you going to poach him?" Mendez asked.

Gao Han was noncommittal and asked: "What? Is it difficult?"

Mendes shook his head, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"How do you say it?" Gao Han was curious.

"The ownership of Neymar is quite confusing now. Part of it is in the hands of Santos, another part is in the hands of his father, and the other part is in my hands. It is easier for me to negotiate with Santos, but Neymar's father I’m afraid it’s hard to say which part is in the hand.”

Gao Han frowned. What he disliked the most was third-party ownership.

"Neymar's father has always been convinced that his son can become a talented person, so he obtained part of the ownership early. With Neymar's current situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult to convince his father unless you are willing to pay a large sum of money to satisfy him."

Gao Han is well aware of the chaos in the Brazilian league, and he is also very optimistic about Neymar. He even believes that this is the embryo of a future top superstar. If he can poach Chinatown, even if the price is higher, it will be worth it.

But now that Mendes says it, it’s probably quite embarrassing.

It's a pity to think about it, but there's nothing we can do about it. How can everything in this world go as planned?

"In that case, let's choose the second plan." Gao Han made a decisive decision and made adjustments immediately.

The so-called second plan is to use the remaining transfer fees to invest in the transfer market and introduce players.

Gao Han immediately told everyone about the players he was interested in and wanted to introduce, but without exception, all of them were present. Except for Mendes and Cantarero, even Pochettino had not heard of them. By name.

But with Gao Han's consistent signature, no one dared to despise him.

Who knows, when will a superstar emerge among these people?
