Super Marshal

"Oh my god, is this BJ?"

He just got off the plane at BJ Capital Airport and got on the car arranged by the hotel to pick him up. Paul Futre was surprised along the way because everything he saw in front of him was similar to what he saw the last time he came to BJ. completely different.

"It's been a long time since you had a BJ, sir." The hotel driver spoke fluent English and said with a smile.

"Seven or eight years ago." Paul Futrey recalled the past.

The last time he came to BJ was when Gao Han was still coaching Atletico Madrid. He came with Hill Jr. and Cerezo, and the three of them convinced Gao Han to continue coaching the Atletico Madrid first team.

Oh, by the way, that should be 2001.

A full eight years have passed.

Although the time was not short, it still shocked Paul Futre, because several other big cities in Europe, such as Madrid, Milan, Munich, and even Paris and London, have not changed much compared to eight years ago. .

But along the way, BJ has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"China is developing too fast." Paul Futre praised.

The driver also nodded proudly and concentrated on driving.

Paul Futrey turned to look at the club chairman Kaldoun Al Mubarak who was sitting next to him. The tycoon representative of the Abu Dhabi consortium now had a serious face and looked very worried.

"Don't be nervous, Kalduin." Paul Futrey comforted with a smile.

After hearing this, Mubarak shook his head and said: "Before boarding the plane, the big boss personally called to inquire about this matter. He took it very seriously and asked us to invite him to Manchester City no matter what."

Paul Futrey knows best about the determination of the big boss Mansour.

Since he acquired Manchester City, he has been laying out the plans and always building them around the highest standards.

In his original words, Manchester City wants to gather a group of the best and most outstanding players, have the top coaches, perform the best results, and bring the most beautiful football to the fans.

But everyone knows how difficult this is.

If nothing else, take the Premier League as an example.

Everyone knows that Abramovich was able to succeed in one fell swoop after acquiring Chelsea. The big reason was that he invited Gao Han to the Premier League, and Gao Han introduced and cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for Chelsea, such as Terry, Lampard, Makelele and others have been used by Chelsea to this day.

After the cold weather, Chelsea invested huge sums of money every year, but achieved little results.

With the prosperity of the European football transfer market in the past few years, the value of players has also been rising. It is already very difficult to build a team into a strong team, no matter how much money is spent, it may not be possible. It works.

Look at how much money Chelsea has burned in the past few years. Not to mention their failure to compete in the Champions League, they even lost the league championship.

Especially last season, Rijkaard was fired midway, which brought the Blues into disrepute. They are still worried about the new coach this season. It is said that they intend to invite Mourinho back to coach.

Therefore, after acquiring Manchester City, Mansour asked Cash Harris, a famous London football investment expert, to conduct a survey and concluded that Gao Han is the head coach with the most surprising ratio of input to output in football today. Never make a mistake.

Therefore, even though he is the most valuable coach in football with the most amazing salary, he is still the most valuable coach.

"Purely from the transfer market income and the commercial value he brings, it is worth at least 200 million pounds, not to mention his consistent excellent results and his attraction to all players around the world."

This report by Cash Harris made the entire Manchester City management extremely determined to lock Gao Han from the beginning. Even from a year ago, they had already begun to make plans. Once Gao Han left Bayern Munich, they would Don't hesitate to take action.

A few days ago, the newly promoted La Liga Chinatown team under Gao Han's name was successfully promoted, which shocked the world. Later, he attended the opening ceremony of Atletico Madrid's new stadium.

According to reliable information obtained by Paul Futre, Gao Han also communicated with the mayor of the Madrid region and many important officials of the district government after the ceremony, revealing the Chinatown team's intention to build a new stadium once the time is right in the future, and Received strong support from the district government.

However, preparing to build a new stadium requires a huge amount of money and takes a long time, so it cannot be completed in a short time.

Also at the opening ceremony of Atletico Madrid's new stadium, Gao Han once again reiterated his identity and position as an Atletico Madrid fan in interviews with reporters from many Spanish media, saying that he would not consider coaching Real Madrid.

This undoubtedly gives Manchester City a very positive signal.

Everyone knows that Manchester City and Real Madrid are currently pursuing Gao Han the most in the entire European football world. Juventus can barely be considered one, but Gao Han rejected Real Madrid, so naturally it is unlikely that he will go to Juventus.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Paul Futre and Mubarak immediately decided to go to Madrid to negotiate with Gao Han. Unexpectedly, Gao Han returned the next day after attending the opening ceremony of Atletico Madrid's new stadium. to China.

Now is the summer transfer period, and Manchester City still has a lot to do. Paul Futre and Mubarak also wanted to catch up with China as soon as possible, but due to the work at hand, they had to stay for a few days.

But just in the past few days, Gao Han once again made big news in China.

It turned out that his youth training center in BJ's Chinatown was finally fully completed, and at the same time the second phase of the Talent Day Selection Summer Camp was launched.

On that day, not only important figures from the entire Chinese football community gathered together, but also reporters from major media outlets across the country and around the world. Even the Prime Minister, accompanied by city leaders, came to the scene in person and delivered a speech.

"Visiting the European Union at the end of May and watching the Champions League final in person made me deeply feel the charm of football. As the world's largest sport, football has an amazing influence around the world."

"We have to admit that the level of football in our country is not high enough and there is still a long way to go with developed countries. But we must recognize our own gaps and shortcomings and we must not belittle ourselves."

"During my visit to Europe, many EU leaders and European country leaders mentioned Gao Han to me, which made me very proud because we have the best head coach in the world and have achieved great success in Europe that the whole world looks up to. Achievements, but what moved me even more was what Gao Han said to me."

"He said that the combined population of the entire European football powers is not as good as China. We have a population of 1.3 billion. As long as we are determined, we will definitely be able to cultivate more and better football talents than them, and even our league. It can also become the top professional league in the world."

“He explained his thoughts and ideas to me, and I agreed.”

"Our domestic football development has indeed encountered problems. There is great resistance to reform, and our fans have reacted strongly, but we need more people like Gao Han to stand up and work hard and try for the development of our football."

"Finally, I sincerely hope that the Chinatown Youth Training Center can become the cradle of our future Chinese football talents, and Gao Han can cultivate the first World Footballer for our country."

The Prime Minister's words caused a huge response in China and around the world, and also made clear the official attitude, which is to support Gao Han's attempt. At the same time, it also made it clear that the government will begin to attach importance to the development of professional football.

As the world's third largest economy and the most populous country in the world, this has undoubtedly attracted huge attention around the world. It has caused a major earthquake in European football and has become the focus of countless professional football players.

As a result, Gao Han once again stood at the forefront of public opinion.

…………

…………

After going to the hotel and putting down their luggage, Paul Futre and Mubarak didn't even have time to rest, so they asked the hotel to arrange a special car to take them to the Chinatown Youth Training Center in the DX District of the southern suburbs.

It was during the summer camp, and the youth training center was bustling with traffic and people inside and outside. Paul Futrey and both of them were dumbfounded, feeling as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

Why are there so many people?

Jorge Mendes, who had been staying in China for some time in the past, went out to greet them personally and took them directly to the summer camp event. He saw Gao Han leading a group of young players for training on the court. There were laughter and laughter on the court. Parents and fans outside the country are also very enthusiastic.

Such a scene is rare even in the UK.

It wasn't until the training was almost over that Mendes took them to Gao Han's office.

But they waited for nearly half an hour before Gao Han arrived belatedly.

"Sorry, Paul, I'm late and kept you waiting." Gao Han apologized apologetically as soon as he entered the door, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"You know how long-winded those two guys are, Carlos and Sergio."

Paul Futrey kept waving his hands to express that it was okay, and was a little surprised, "Are they coming too?"

"Here, one is the technical director of the Madrid Chinatown team, and the youth training center is also part of his responsibilities. The other one is here to build a data analysis system." Gao Han replied with a smile.

"Okay, invite them and have dinner together tonight." Paul Futrey laughed.

Is there anything more joyful than meeting an old friend in a foreign country?

What's more, the Portuguese knows better than anyone else that these two people are Gao Han's right-hand men, especially Sergio Garcia, who has always been with Gao Han and no matter how many teams try to poach him, they can't.

"I'm telling you, Paul, wait a minute and there will be a football match for about twelve years old. Go and take a look. I have dug up at least five treasures this year. As long as I cultivate them well, I will definitely be able to play in the first line of the four major leagues in the future. The team has a foothold.”

"Really or not?" Paul Futrey was dumbfounded, five?

"Why did I lie to you?" Gao Han looked very excited. "This year our summer camp attracted school-age teenagers from all over the country. Many of them even flew here from the southern provinces. I still feel that there are a few."

Paul Futre was a little stunned. If this is true, then the potential of Chinese football is really great.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you." Paul Futrey immediately pointed to Mubarak beside him, "This is the chairman of our Manchester City Club, Kaldoun Al Mubarak."

"Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Gao Han."

This was the first time for Mubarak to meet Gao Han himself. Although he was used to seeing big scenes, he was still a little cautious because it was about his own interests. However, Gao Han gave him a strange feeling. It didn't look like it was uploaded by the media or TV. The image of a successful person given to him is a bit like that of a fanatical football fan.

This is in line with what Paul Futre mentioned to him before. It is not difficult to convince Gao Han.

But what not only Mubarak, but even Paul Futre did not expect was that Gao Han gave them a thick gift as soon as they met.
