Super Marshal

Madrid in March is full of the pattering spring rain.

The hot and cold weather is very depressing.

In the morning, Gao Han put on his iconic black training suit and went out.

I went downstairs and walked on the wet path, and the cherry blossoms on the side of the road did not know when they bloomed.

But Gao Han didn't notice it at all, and fell into his thoughts.

Last night, the team challenged Elche away, 2-1, and it was very difficult to win.

Zoran Niguez, who has just returned from injury, is in a bad state, and the injured veteran Aguilera is also not playing very well. This makes the team feel like the weather in Madrid in March, terrible up.

Originally, Gao Han had hoped for Gabi, but after several experiments, the effect was relatively mediocre.

The main reason is that he is too young, only seventeen years old.

Although Torres is one year younger than Gabi, his physical fitness is much better than Gabi's, and his personal ability is also stronger.

More importantly, Torres played as a striker, while Gabi played as a midfielder.

Gao Han also used skill cards for Gabi a few times, to improve physical confrontation and defensive ability, and even specially bought a one-star pass card specially used to improve the player's passing ability.

But for the time being, there is a certain effect, but it is not satisfactory.

At least, judging from Gabi's performance, there is really no way for Gao Han to directly promote him to be the main force like he did to Harvey Alonso. After all, he also has to consider his results.

The good news is that, from the original right midfielder to right back, Roberto performed well.

This player has good physical fitness, can work on his feet, is also of the right age, works hard and is very practical.

Especially since he was born as an avant-garde on the right, he has a good cross footwork.

Gao Han also temporarily decided to let Roberto play right back when Aguilera was playing midfielder and was injured.

Since the Spanish player played the main force in the season when Atletico Madrid won the double crown, he has been wandering between the main force and the substitute in the past few seasons. Even if he was relegated to the second division this season, he has not improved much.

Now Gao Han is willing to use him, even though he is playing right back, but he is also willing.

Although professional players play football for money, they must also value the opportunity to play in addition to this.

Atletico Madrid's biggest problem now is not in the backcourt and striker, but in the midfield.

Harvey Alonso lacks a reliable bodyguard and a solid barrier in the midfield!

…………

At this moment, a middle-aged man came outside the gate of Mahadanda Sports City.

He wears a suit and leather shoes, a tie, and his hair is neatly combed and waxed. He smiles when he sees people, and smokes as soon as he enters the door. He gives people a very shrewd feeling.

"Hello, can I ask you something?"

As the saying goes, cannibals have soft mouths but short hands.

The security guard took the good cigarettes sent by others, so naturally he couldn't deal with it seriously.

"Say something!"

"Will Mr. Gao Han come in the morning?"

When the two security guards in the security room heard this, they immediately looked at the middle-aged man in his thirties cautiously in front of him. He was a little wary. Could it be a spy sent by the rival club?

Sensing the suspicious look in the security guard's eyes, the middle-aged man smiled wryly.

Have you ever seen such a handsome spy?

"That's right, I'm an agent from Portugal, and this is my business card."

As he said that, he also handed over a business card, which read: Portugal Castifort Brokerage Company.

General Manager, Jorge Mendes.

"Are you Portuguese?" the security guard asked after seeing the business card clearly.

"Yes, I'm from the same hometown as your technical director, Paul Futre."

The mention of Paul Futre brought the relationship closer.

The Portuguese is a superstar in the hearts of all Atletico Madrid fans.

"I'm here today, mainly because your team doesn't need players recently?"

"Yeah, but it's not the transfer period."

The Portuguese named Jorge Mendes nodded with a smile: "Yes, but if it's a free agent, it's fine, as long as your club registers with the Football Association."

"Oh." The security guards knew these rules too well, but they felt that they seemed very powerful.

Seeing that the security guard was convinced by himself, Jorge Mendes asked again: "I don't know if Mr. Gao Han will come in the morning?"

"Yes, unless something happens, otherwise, he will come every day."

"Oh, then he is really a conscientious head coach."

Jorge Mendez's casual boast made the security guards feel proud.

Who is Gao Han?

The head coach who led Atletico Madrid out of the predicament at a young age.

After defeating Elche 2-1 last night, Atletico Madrid moved up to two places in the standings, surpassing Eibar and Levante and ranking seventh in the league.

During this period of time, the team's position in the standings is like a rocket, whizzing up, the fans are not to mention how excited they are, and they also highly praise and affirm Gao Han's coaching ability.

Therefore, although Mendes praised the high cold, it was no different from boasting Baoan himself.

The Portuguese was really surprised. Unexpectedly, the head coach, who was only 23 years old, still had such a status in the eyes of the club fans. It was not easy.

…………

…………

Gao Han casually ate breakfast outside the community, and then went straight to the Sports City.

"Good morning, Mr. Gao Han."

"Hello."

When passing by the door of the security room and greeting the security guard inside, Gao Han noticed that there was one more person than usual, but he didn't care and walked over directly.

But just two steps away, I heard someone calling me from behind, and when I looked back, it was the man in the security room who was chasing me.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gao Han, I've always heard that the head coach of Atletico Madrid is very young, but I didn't expect to be so young, and I didn't recognize him for a while."

Jorge Mendes apologized as soon as he stepped forward to gain a good impression.

"It's okay." Gao Han smiled lightly, "You are..."

"Jorge Mendes, Portuguese agent, here is my business card."

With that said, he handed out a business card.

"Jastie Ford Brokerage Company." Gao Han's lips moved, thinking silently.

He hadn't heard the name at all.

Portugal's biggest agent now should be Figo's agent, Jose Vega.

As for Jorge Mendes, he had never heard of it.

But it's not worth making a fuss about. In European football, there are so many people doing this job, how can they know everyone?

"Hello, Mr. Mendez!" Gao Han shook hands with him politely, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Mendes immediately opened the briefcase he was carrying in his hand, and took out a neatly bound document from it. It seemed that he had put a lot of thought into it, and handed it to Gao Han.

"I know that Atlético Madrid are in urgent need of a midfielder recently, and it must be a free agent."

"Yeah." Gao Han nodded without denying it.

Paulo Futre did release news, but no one had high hopes for it.

The reason is very simple, European professional football is so transparent, how can truly capable players not get contracts?

"As for me, I have always been engaged in player agency business in Portugal, but I have many friends in Brazil. You should know that the football environment in Brazil is relatively chaotic, but I know that there are several players who are good, and they are all free agents. .”

The domestic football environment in Brazil is indeed quite chaotic. In many cases, when clubs sign contracts with players, they sign contracts once a year, sometimes every six months, or even shorter.

When Gao Han was in Barcelona, ​​he once heard such a joke that as long as someone can afford the salary, he can poach the domestic star he likes and help the team win the championship.

It is conceivable how serious the wage arrears in Brazil are.

This also led to Brazilian players desperately running to other leagues in Europe and the world.

However, Gao Han knew that this was not within his scope of authority.

"You should submit these materials to the technical department."

Mendes nodded and smiled, "I've sent it over."

Obviously, he prepared two copies.

"I specifically checked Mr. Gao Han's player list for all games in the second team and the first team. I found that you like to use those midfielders with good skills and passing ability, even if they are defensive midfielders."

Gao Han sounded a little funny, this manager actually studied his own preferences?

Perhaps aware of Gao Han's doubts, Mendes explained: "I always believe that an agent is not just to help a player sign a contract, it is as simple as finding a club, and should consider long-term development and win-win for all parties."

"Not bad!" Gao Han nodded.

Mendes smiled slightly, "The players I introduced have all played in the Brazilian Serie A and performed pretty well. It's just that they didn't find a suitable club for various reasons. .”

"But I believe that as long as you give them a chance, they will definitely bring you rich rewards."

"In addition, I have a list of players here, and the technical department also sent them, but these are all under contract. I can guarantee that the strength is quite good. If you are interested, please feel free to call me."

"Also, I have partners in Brazil and Portugal. I can guarantee that I can help you contact and even operate any player you like."

It can be seen that this guy doesn't want to do pyramid schemes, what a pity!

Gao Han has reservations about such eloquent remarks.

But it has to be said that Jorge Mendes is a good salesman.

"Okay, I'll keep these two documents first, look back, and then discuss with the technical department." This is not the first time Gao Han has dealt with a broker.

He is very clear that Jorge Mendes is not well-known now, he is just laying out the market, casting nets everywhere, and can make a fortune. As for whether he is really as he said, there are really so many people in Brazil and Portugal. Strong connections, who knew?

"By the way, do you know Deco?"

Gao Han can always remember this future top midfielder with a potential of 185.

"Deco?" Mendes' eyes lit up. "Of course, Anderson Deco, a Brazilian player, is 23 years old. He is a midfielder. He played for Porto and performed very well."

Gao Han was a little surprised, this guy is really skilled in business, and he came here as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Then do you think he will come to Atletico Madrid?" Gao Han asked again.

Mendes thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Gao Han, I am afraid that this will only be possible if Atletico Madrid returns to La Liga and has a firm foothold."

Gao Han nodded, which was similar to what he judged.

"Okay, then you can help me pay more attention to Deco, and when you are sure to dig it, you can come to me at any time."

Gao Han clapped the two documents in his hand, "As for these two documents, I'll take a look first and call you if I find something suitable."

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

After speaking, Mendez sincerely thanked him a few more words before leaving.

Thanks to [Haha 198O], [Descendants of Cardinal], [I am Xiaoqi] and [Book Friends 1008500020] for their rewards!
