Super Marshal

"This is what you want, the information on player No. 18 of Red and White Allen."

In the Sebena head coach's office, Bayern Munich's chief scout Wolfgang Dremler handed a piece of information to Gao Han and seemed curious about Gao Han's request.

Yesterday afternoon, the team defeated Red and White Allen 5-0 on the road. The game was conducted in an orderly manner and the defense was well organized. It should be said that both the game process and the result were satisfactory.

Of course, a five-goal victory over a third-division team is nothing to be proud of.

But just after the team returned to Sebena, Gao Han immediately called Dremler and asked the scouting team to provide detailed information on the red and white Allen No. 18 player, which made Dremler feel a little bit Wondered.

Could it be said that this kid attracted Gao Han's attention?

So, early this morning, as soon as Gao Han came to Sebena, he came to the door.

Gao Han casually took the material and opened it. There was a photo posted in the most conspicuous place. A man was wearing a black jersey, yellow shorts, yellow and black socks, and a mohawk similar to that of Beckham. The boy with the haircut is training to play football.

Further down, he saw the players' names.

Marco Reus.

Sure enough it was him.

Gao Han nodded, knowing what he was doing.

"This player is only 18 years old and started out in the Dortmund youth academy. However, he left the Dortmund youth academy in 2006 and joined the nearby low-level league team Red and White Allen, and gradually gained opportunities this season. "Dremmler introduced.

Gao Han looked at the materials and listened to Dremler's introduction, and asked casually: "Why did you leave Dortmund's youth training camp? Judging from his performance, he should be very good."

"Yes, his performance in all age groups in the youth training camp has indeed been very good, and he was even the team's leading scorer at one time. But if you look at his photos, is he really suitable for playing when he looks like that? "

When Gao Han heard this, he turned to the front again and looked at the photo carefully. He had to admit that he was indeed too thin.

It might be more appropriate to use a Chinese idiom to describe it, skinny as a stick.

This is indeed a considerable trouble, because professional football is a competitive game after all, and physical confrontation is the foundation of everything.

Looking back on yesterday's game, Royce's speed and technique left a deep impression on him, but he did feel like he was avoiding Badstuber, and there was almost no direct competition.

"Actually, you are not the first person to be interested in him." Dremler smiled.

"Oh? Who else?"

"As far as I know, Dortmund has also been paying attention to him. The Hornets' second team coach Heiko Ellic has always hoped that he can return to the team, but the player does not seem to have this intention."

Gao Han frowned when he heard this, "Then why did Dortmund let him go in the first place?"

"The players asked for it," Dremler replied. "It is said that during an assessment, Royce failed because of his poor physical fitness. However, the club took into account his previous performance and the fact that he was still developing. period, so I considered keeping him for observation for a while, but did not let him be promoted to the second team. As a result, he took the initiative and asked to go to Red and White Allen, who was willing to give him a chance."

"You also know that Red and White Allen is near Dortmund and has many connections with this team in the youth training."

Gao Han remembered the No. 21 center that Tuchel had mentioned, but he had forgotten his specific name. It was said that he was also from Dortmund's youth training camp.

"In addition to Dortmund, Monchengladbach of the Bundesliga 2 is also very interested in him. It is said that he took a fancy to him in a youth team game last year. Monchengladbach's general manager Eberl asked for the ball on the spot. The detective department followed him, but it was said that he did not choose to take action because of physical concerns."

Gao Han nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It was obvious that Royce's speed and skills were recognized. It could even be said that he was quite outstanding among his peers. The only thing that worried people was his body, which was too thin.

On the professional football field, being thin is quite a headache.

Just like when many people look at Franck Ribery, Robben, and Marcelo, they think they are quite thin, but that is from TV. If you see them directly in person, you will find that they actually still have to Stronger than the average person.

Even Marcelo was asked by the cold to strengthen his muscles and improve his strength training.

But Royce is far more ridiculously thin than Marcelo.

Gao Han still vaguely remembers that in the game against Bayern Munich, his sweat soaked his jersey and stuck it to his body. You could directly see the ribs on his chest, which made it difficult for him to directly confront his opponents during the game. , easily injured.

In Gao Han's glaring eyes, Royce's strength is only a pitiful four points, while Marcelo's strength in this aspect is seven points. Both players are indeed not ideal in this aspect, Royce even more so.

According to Gao Han's idea, the requirement is not too high, but it should be around ten o'clock.

Dortmund's style is more strength-oriented than Bayern Munich's, and has higher requirements for physical fitness. With Royce's physical fitness, he is probably considered semi-disabled by the Hornets. If he fails their assessment, that's it. Not surprising anymore.

"Wolfgang, how's your manpower going?" Gao Han suddenly asked.

Dremler immediately understood what Gao Han meant, "Do you want me to arrange for someone to follow him?"

"Well, he's only eighteen years old. I can't tell for sure now. Maybe he just develops later than the average person? Moreover, physical fitness can be improved, but some things cannot, so I think this kid is a man who can be created. Talent."

When he was in Spain, David Silva was also eliminated by Real Madrid on the grounds that he was too weak. However, he was spotted by Gao Han and brought to Atletico Madrid. Now he has become the main force of the Spanish national team. Midfield.

Among the many conditions for a player, physical fitness can be said to be the least important, because it can be improved through hard training the day after tomorrow.

The high cold was well-known, so although Dremler had some doubts, he agreed on the spot.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away when I get back."

"But remember, don't make it public, don't let anyone know." Gao Han reminded.

Dremler understood, "Okay, I'll take care of it."

With Gao Han's status in European football today, any player he likes will be worth a hundred times as soon as he turns around.

If people outside knew that he was interested in Reus, it goes without saying that Dortmund would come to buy the player back the next day, and there would be no more problems with Bayern Munich.

They talked about the players, but Dremler seemed to have something else to do, and he hesitated to talk. Gao Han felt a little strange when he saw it.

"What's the matter?"

"Well...just..."

"It doesn't matter, just tell me what you have to say." Gao Han said with a smile.

He is not a dictator and will not stop others from speaking up.

"That's right, there have been a lot of rumors outside recently, and there are indeed problems with the team's left defense. Do you think we would like our scouting department to prepare and draw up a list for the winter break..."

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.

"Thank you for your kindness, Wolfgang." Gao Han smiled slightly, "But I'm sorry, we will not sign any players during the winter break, at least not for the left back. I have already expressed my anger with the management about this."

"Why?" Dremler felt strange.

Everyone can see that Bayern Munich has a defensive problem on the left, so why not sign him?

With the current value of players in the Bundesliga, it doesn't cost much to introduce a more reliable left-back.

For example, German international Janssen is worth around 7 to 8 million euros, which is very cost-effective.

"I am very satisfied with the team's current configuration on the left. Maybe you haven't noticed it, but the coaching team and I clearly feel that Marcelo has made obvious progress, but he still needs time and training in games. "

"Jerome Boateng can play all positions in the defense. I will give him more opportunities in the future. To be honest, I think he has more potential than Lyle and Glitz, especially because he is more agile with his feet. good."

"As for Badstuber, I don't know if you have noticed that his footwork is very good, especially free kicks. After every training session, he will practice free kicks by himself. In the game against Red and White Allen, Once, he made a long diagonal pass from the left and sent the ball directly to the diagonal right, and Thomas Muller almost scored."

The game was not broadcast live, and Dremler did not go to the away game with the team, so he didn't know much about the ball Gao Han was talking about, but it sounded interesting.

Everyone knows that Gao Han's main focus is passing and controlling, and the defensive line uses players with excellent passing and controlling abilities. Therefore, Hummels was promoted to the main force of the first team, and now he has even entered the national team, and he has been tortured. Although her husband favored her, Van Buyten suffered miserably and was forced to become a substitute.

"To be honest, don't listen to the rumors outside. The coaching staff and I are very clear about the situation on the left. Everything is under our control. There will not be any major problems. Instead, it will improve as the team's overall understanding improves. , and the improvements brought about by the players getting more exercise are gradually made up.”

When Gao Han said this, he suddenly smiled confidently at Dremler, "Our goal this season is not to win the championship. I dare to say so. With the 100 million transfer investment in the summer, the Bundesliga championship is already in our possession. Mine is The goal is to get the players out as quickly as possible, transformation by transformation, growth by growth, and next season is the highlight.”

Dremler was swayed by the blazing ambition revealed in Gao Han's words.

But thinking about it again, it’s right.

The Bundesliga is originally dominated by Bayern Munich. Last season's fourth place in the league was nothing more than a waterloo. The team learned from the experience and invested a net of 100 million. If it still has no effect, it will not only destroy Gao Han's brand, but also Bayern Munich's management. I'm afraid the top management will take the blame and resign.

The reason why the three giants in the management paid a lot of money to hire Gao Han, and the reason why Gao Han was willing to coach Bayern Munich, was not for a mere Bundesliga championship or the UEFA Cup, but for the Champions League.

Gao Han has led Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan to win the Champions League consecutively, which is quite an astonishing achievement in European football. There are only a handful of coaches who can match him, and Bayern Munich's former coach Heathfield is one of them. one.

But if he leads Bayern Munich to another Champions League, it will be truly unprecedented.

For Bayern Munich, the investment of 100 million has allowed Gao Han to successfully promote technological changes and create a top European team with an average age that is not high. This is a value-for-money deal.

While Dremler was thinking about the meaning behind Gao Han, the coach of the Bundesliga giant took a piece of information from the table and handed it to the chief scout.

"This is a piece of information sent over by Czech agent Pascal not long ago. It just so happens that the club recently intends to open a scouting system in Eastern Europe. There are several players in it that I think are good. Please arrange for someone to follow them."

"Okay." Dremler took it immediately.
