Super Marshal

"Now that we have successfully brought in Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo, can we operate Messi? You know, he is also a phenomenal superstar. If he can come, he will be the same as Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo forming a trident will definitely be very shocking, don't you think?"

Mansour is clearly looking forward to this.

Gao Han himself is also looking forward to it, because every head coach hopes to have a luxurious lineup composed of superstars.

Apart from anything else, a few superstars just put themselves on the court and are invincible, right?

But he was still very calm and rational.

"Mr. Mansour, I have talked to Paul and Kalduin about this before when I was at BJ. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are two different types of players, and they are suitable for different tactics. "

"I have enough certainty and confidence to be able to convince Barcelona and Messi, but I don't think Messi will help the team's play style much after joining. I even think that between him and Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo, During this time, it is difficult to produce a chemical reaction, and the gain may even outweigh the loss.”

When it comes to the team's skills and tactics, Gao Han is the professional, and everyone present has no choice but to obey.

After hearing this, Brian Keane's eyes flashed with appreciation.

Being in the position of Gao Han, with such amazing resources, but still able to remain calm and rational, Gao Han is an extraordinary person.

"As I said before, a team cannot be composed of 11 superstars. The first phase of Real Madrid's Galaxy Battleship had too many superstars in the frontcourt, which led to an imbalance in the team's offense and defense, especially The introduction of Beckham in 2003 and the release of Makelele exposed the team's imbalance and resulted in the inability to achieve any results."

"What we really need now is to bring in a few players who can serve the superstars. For example, we need someone to pull in the frontcourt, create opportunities for Cristiano Ronaldo, and score goals. We need someone to organize and strategize in the midfield. , pass assists to the stars, we also need someone to defend well."

"So, I think what we are missing now is not a superstar, but a group of high-level players."

Mansour in the video nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing, "You are the professional in this aspect, I will listen to you."

"Believe me, Mr. Mansour." Gao Han smiled slightly, "As long as the team's performance improves and the players perform well, many players who don't seem to be superstars now will soon become superstars."

Gao Han's meaning is very simple. Instead of spending money to buy superstars who may cause conflicts among players, it is better to introduce a group of green leaves who can be used in a big way and cultivate superstars by ourselves.

After Mansour heard this, he seemed very happy and laughed and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Gao Han."

"This is what I should do." Gao Han said modestly.

With Mansour's video participation, Manchester City's first high-level meeting of the new season officially began.

Mubarak took the lead in summarizing some of the team's performance and situation last season. It can basically be summarized in four words. It was lackluster. Under the coaching of Mark Hughes, this team did not have much competitiveness in the Premier League.

For the new season, everyone at Manchester City seems confident because the head coach has become Gao Han.

According to Mubarak, in the past season, the team has renovated its training base in Carrington, but what it really wants to do is to buy the surrounding land in eastern Manchester, surrounding the City Stadium. Build a Manchester City football park and place the stadium, training base and other commercial facilities here.

Although Gao Han is the head coach of Manchester City, he is also the owner of the Chinatown team. After hearing the plan of the Manchester City management, he had to look at this team with admiration. At least such a plan is definitely not something that ordinary people can plan.

If the Chinatown team could also plan and implement such a project, would it have the same appeal?

Gao Han is quite ready to move, but it is too early to talk about this now. After all, the Chinatown team has not yet established a foothold in La Liga, so why talk about showing off its talents?

While the buzz surrounding Football Park was brushed aside, Mubarak put the real focus on the team's transfer operations this summer, with Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo being mentioned in particular.

As early as last year, Manchester City had proposed a transfer of 100 million euros to Kaká. At that time, AC Milan also agreed, but Kaká refused. But this summer, Real Madrid's offer was only 65 million euros. After Manchester City made the move midway, they appropriately raised the price to 70 million euros.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester City's price is similar to Real Madrid's, 100 million euros.

This also made the Portuguese the first player in the history of European football to be worth more than 100 million.

Inter Milan has agreed to the price offered by Manchester City, and Manchester City has also offered Cristiano Ronaldo a personal treatment contract. According to the news fed back by Jorge Mendes from Milan, there should be no big problem.

The acquisition of the two superstars made everyone present feel more excited and looked at Gao Han differently.

Anyone who has paid a little attention to recent media reports will know that it was Gao Han who facilitated the transfer of these two superstars.

In addition to these two superstars, Mubarak also announced that the team has successfully introduced three stars, Petr Cech, Xabi Alonso and David Silva, from Atletico Madrid for a package price of 100 million euros. .

These three are all well-known stars in La Liga in the past few years. Although they are not superstars, there is absolutely no doubt about their strength. Especially Petr Cech, who has always been the most powerful contender for the world's number one goalkeeper.

At the same time, Mubarak also said that the team has reached a consensus with Athletic Bilbao to introduce midfielder Xavi Martinez from Athletic Bilbao in exchange for a release fee of 30 million euros. .

But this player is not well-known, and many people present have never heard of it at all. The only thing they know is that Mubarak said that Gao Han went to Bilbao to negotiate the deal in person.

To be valued so much by Gao Han, this player's strength and potential are definitely not bad.

With these four players, plus Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, Manchester City's entire central axis is formed.

But the price paid was not small. These six stars made Manchester City pay a sky-high price of 300 million euros, which made everyone present stunned and felt crazy.

Real Madrid claimed to have a transfer budget of 500 million euros on hand, but as a result, Manchester City directly intercepted the superstar they had been eyeing for a long time, and even paid out 300 million euros in transfer fees, and it seemed that The meaning is still not finished.

Sure enough, after Mubarak finished talking about the players he had successfully introduced, as general manager, Paul Futrey also stood up and proposed several players that the club would actively operate next.

"We are already in contact with Bayern Munich and hope to bring in Croatian midfielder Luka Modric from their team."

This immediately caused an uproar among many people present.

Everyone knows that Modric is Gao Han's favorite player at Bayern Munich, but he didn't expect that after coming to Manchester City, he still wanted to bring Modric over, but it would take a lot of effort to convince Bayern Munich. It's a high price.

“In addition, Liverpool’s Javier Mascherano, Lyon’s Benzema and Udinese’s Alexis Sanchez are all on our transfer list and will be the four we focus on bringing in next. players."

There was an even louder exclamation in the conference room again.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of Paul Futre and Gao Han, it was easy to know that these four players must have been hand-picked by Gao Han.

Mascherano is Benitez's favorite player at Liverpool and is Europe's top defensive midfielder. It is said that Barcelona is also interested in this player, but it turns out that Liverpool does not want to sell him at all.

But looking at Paul Futre's attitude, it is estimated that Manchester City really wants to pay a lot of money to kill Liverpool.

Considering Liverpool's recent financial difficulties, it is really possible that they will succumb to Manchester City's money.

As for Benzema, he is a talented star who has been rumored for a long time in Europe. He has been linked to many wealthy teams for a long time. He is worth a lot of money. Manchester United and Real Madrid are chasing him fiercely. If Manchester City wants to persuade him to join, they will inevitably We have to put up Gao Han's golden brand, but money is definitely indispensable.

And Alexis Sanchez, the most outstanding wide player in Serie A last season, should be the wing killer hand-picked by Gao Han.

Everyone who was able to attend the conference room was a senior executive at the department head level, but after hearing what Mubarak and Paul Futre said, everyone thought about it in their minds and were all shocked.

Even if Manchester City goes through a purge this season and sells many players in the team, bringing in so many stars will still cost an astronomical amount of money. Gao Han simply wants to completely change Manchester City's entire starting lineup. .

They have already spent 300 million euros, and the remaining four players will have to spend at least more than 100 million euros. After deducting the income from selling a group of players, the club's net investment this summer will be at least 400 million euros.

This made the directors of various departments present stunned, because Manchester City has not been able to burn so much money in the past ten years.

But while all the department heads were shocked, they couldn't help but be impressed by Gao Han's influence.

Just last year, Manchester City also spent a lot of money to poach Robinho from Real Madrid and Arshavin from Atletico Madrid. But in the end, both stars went to Chelsea, and people didn't even look at them. A look at Manchester City.

In other words, it's not that Manchester City didn't think about burning money in the past season. The problem is that they didn't have to burn it even if they wanted to.

If you don’t say anything else, just say Kaka.

Manchester City waved a check of 100 million euros a year ago to persuade AC Milan to introduce Kaka, but the Brazilian superstar did not come at all.

Now the head coach has been replaced by Gao Han, and one phone call made Kaká change his mind, quit Real Madrid and switch to Manchester City, and the transfer fee was 30 million euros less than a year ago.

Although 400 million euros is a lot, from a business perspective, this investment is not a loss.

As Florentino puts it, the most expensive is often the cheapest.

Manchester City has added this group of stars this summer, which has greatly improved the team's strength. If this group of players can be integrated, they will definitely be able to create a team that is capable of winning the Premier League. .

Even in the European arena, this team is completely competitive.

What's more, Gao Han is famous for his vicious eyes on people. How can the players he likes be any worse?

Thinking of this, everyone including Brian Kidd had to marvel.

This is the world's number one top coach!

Only a famous coach like Gao Han can make all Manchester City's resources revolve around him from top to bottom.

Let me ask, if it were anyone else, even the new and famous coach Guardiola, he would definitely not have such influence.

But with more investment, Gao Han has a greater burden on his shoulders.

If the team performs well, then everything is easy to say, but if the results are not ideal...

Then Manchester City is bound to become a cold Waterloo!
