Super Marshal

"Hey Jorge, what's going on?"

When Mendes called back from Europe, Gao Han gestured to Zhang Yuning, who was sitting opposite him, turned and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, and then answered Mendes' call.

"I checked with the Dutch side about the situation, and what he said is indeed true." Mendes reported on the phone.

"Vites has officially sent a transfer fax to Norwich, hoping to bring in Dutch center Van Wolfswinkel from Norwich. The person who handled the transfer was the player's agent, and Norwich Having rented out the Dutch center in the past two seasons, I guess there is a high possibility of agreeing."

Although Gao Han has been coaching in China for the past six months, he still knows the situation in European football very well. Just now he also took a special look at Van Wolfswinkel's professional resume, and he basically has a clear understanding of the situation.

The Dutch center is 27 years old this year. He is in his prime. He made his debut at Vitesse and later became famous in Utrecht. After that, he switched to Sporting CP, where he was valued by Norwich in the Premier League. With 850 He transferred to the Premier League for a high price of 100,000 pounds, but his first season at Norwich ended in poor performance, and Norwich was relegated from the Premier League.

In the next two seasons, he was rented out by Norwich to Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 and Real Betis in La Liga, but he failed to perform at the level he should have. Norwich is still in the English Championship. It is impossible. Leaving such a player behind, Van Wolfswinkel himself also intends to return to the Netherlands to try to regain his form.

Although Van Wolfswinkel has encountered setbacks in the Premier League, Ligue 1 and La Liga, he will definitely still be a killer once he returns to the Eredivisie. Vitesse will definitely have the whole team around him to polish their tactics and establish himself as the main force. The possibility of a heel is high.

But as a result, Zhang Yuning, who originally performed well in the second team and has great hope of establishing himself in the first team, will definitely be affected. Not to mention, judging from the news revealed by Zhang Yuning, Waiters' coaching position has also had many twists and turns in recent years. .

When Zhang Yuning first joined, his head coach was Peter Botts, but he was soon fired due to poor performance at the beginning of 2016. After that, head coach Mas took over, and he gave Zhang Yuning the opportunity to play in the Eredivisie. Opportunity, but the coach failed to get Waiters' recognition and was dismissed after the season.

The current head coach of Vitesse is Fraser. He advocates the introduction of former Dutch golden boot Van Wolfswinkel and ranks this transfer transaction as a top priority, which is enough to prove that the Dutch center is in Fraser's mind. position in.

There is nothing wrong with joining the Dutch center, but the new coach's attitude towards Zhang Yuning is really unsettling. Moreover, Zhang Yuning only has one year left in his contract with Waiters, and they must renew the contract as soon as possible, so the whole thing becomes very tricky.

"Vitesse is still very optimistic about him. Not long ago, he was named the top 50 rising stars of the new season by the Dutch media. You know, this kind of selection is meaningless, but at least it proves that he is quite good." Mendes laughed on the phone.

Zhang Yuning was inconspicuous to him. With his current status in the world, if Gao Han hadn't asked about it, he wouldn't have taken it to heart. At most, he would have handed it over to the partner responsible for the business in the Netherlands. He was more concerned. It's the reorganization of Chinatown this summer, and that's the deal he's interested in.

This is definitely a blockbuster deal that will shock the entire world of football!

"By the way, why are you suddenly interested in his affairs?" Mendes asked strangely.

Gao Han smiled slightly, "I recruited him into the national team. You know, we have always been short of centers. He is very good."

Of course, Mendes knew what happened to Gao Han. After pondering on the phone for a while, he said, "Do you want me to give you some advice?"

"tell me the story."

"Peter Botts, his coaching at Vitesse is quite good. According to reliable information I have received, he is likely to become the head coach of Ajax, and you know, I have a lot of connections with Ajax. Cooperation, they currently need a striker, I can help you move him to Ajax, I believe there will be many game opportunities in the new season."

"And you know, Van der Sar is now a senior executive at Ajax. I believe that through these two relationships between you and me, he will develop very well in Ajax."

"Ajax?" Gao Han was a little surprised, "Didn't they say they wanted Huntelaar from Schalke 04?"

"Huntelaar is old and his contract will not expire until 17 years. Schalke refused to let him go. Ajax neither has the budget nor the intention to spend money, so this deal is not possible at all. It will happen, and the current center forward Ghazi in the Ajax team is likely to leave the team, so his competitor in Ajax should be the youth team player Dolberg, who is nine months younger than him."

Gao Han has heard of Dorberg. He represented the Ajax youth team and won the third place in the U19 Cup, while Zhang Yuning represented Vitesse and won the cup. If Mendes comes forward again, , Zhang Yuning is indeed very likely to gain a foothold in the first team, and there will certainly be no shortage of competition opportunities.

For a professional player to develop in European football, in addition to his own strength, career planning and the operational capabilities of his agent are also crucial. Joining the right team at the right time can allow the player to get twice the result with half the effort. In turn, there are many Players with unlimited potential are stuck in their career plans.

And for the same two players of similar strength, operated by different agents, the result may be that one plays the main team, while the other sits on the bench. This is also very common in European football.

At present, the agents of many players studying abroad in China are very unsatisfactory in terms of career planning and operational capabilities.

Mendes, on the other hand, helped many Chinese players study abroad last year, but most of them came from the Chinatown youth training camp. It was Gao Han who called him this time, so he considered helping.

"You talk to him, if you like, I'll have people start preparations."

After Gao Han hung up the phone with Mendes, he told Zhang Yuning the situation in detail, and also mentioned Ajax.

Van der Sar is Gao Han's favorite player. Even after retiring, he has kept in touch with Gao Han. Ajax and Chinatown also have cooperation in youth training. If Zhang Yuning really goes there, Mendes will take over the operation. , should be able to get a chance.

Of course, there will definitely be opportunities, but whether Gao Han can seize them is hard to say, and Ajax is not a good person. If Zhang Yuning fails to seize the opportunities, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Ajax.

The most shocked person was Zhang Yuning.

He was originally just worried about whether he could gain a foothold in Vitesse, but he didn't expect that when Gao Han stepped forward, he would change from Vitesse to Ajax, which was the top club in the Eredivisie. He had never even dreamed of it before. Dare to think.

Is this the rumored dimensionality reduction attack?

Things that he sees as big as the sky are so easy in the eyes of people at the level of Gao Han and Mendes.

"Boss, do you think I have the ability to establish myself in Ajax?" Zhang Yuning himself was unsure.

Gao Han thought for a while and nodded: "With your current ability, I think you can gain a foothold. If you seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to play in more games and even be the main force, but the premise is that you not only have to fight hard, You still have to work hard to improve yourself, you know, Ajax's ability to develop young players is definitely the best in European football."

These words are somewhat exaggerated, but Gao Han really feels that Zhang Yuning should give Ajax a try.

As Mendes said, Zhang Yuning will definitely have more opportunities in Ajax than in Vitesse, and Gao Han can definitely help him, allowing him to start the game against Kazakhstan and play the whole game. I believe that in With the support of skill cards, he will perform very well, which will also be of great benefit to his growth and progress in the next period of time.

If he can gain a foothold in the Ajax first team, he will definitely have a bright future.

"After this training session is over, have a good talk with your father and keep in touch with me at any time. If you encounter any difficulties, I will do my best to help you." Gao Han said with a smile, "Also, be bold and trust me. You have really good taste."

Hearing Gao Han's words, Zhang Yuning took a deep breath, raised his head and nodded heavily.

…………

After a week of closed training, the national football team ushered in the only warm-up match of this training session at the Bird's Nest.

Although it was just a warm-up match, the Bird's Nest was still packed that night.

But what is somewhat surprising is that in the first half of the team's game, Gao Han played with a full substitute lineup. Players such as Zhang Yuning, Wei Shihao, Zhao Jun, Wang Lei, Deng Hanwen, Gao Zhunyi and Yin Hongbo all started. As a result, the team The half-time performance was not ideal. In the 24th minute, with the help of skill cards, Deng Hanwen made a pass from the right and assisted Zhang Yuning to score a header.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Gao Han replaced ten starting spots in one breath, except for center Zhang Yuning. This time, it was a mix of main players and substitutes, and his performance improved greatly.

In the 59th minute, Wu Xi assisted Hao Junmin to score, expanding the score to 2-0.

In the 64th minute, an assist from Wang Lei allowed Zhang Yuning to score twice and help the team take a three-goal lead, which completely sealed the victory of the game.

After that, Gao Han rotated again, and Yang Xin, Gao Ren, He Chao, Xiao Zhi, Zhang Xiuwei, Tang Shi and other players all came on the field and played for half an hour. With the blessing of skill cards, the team ranked 73rd. In the 78th minute, Xiao Zhi and Feng Xiaoting scored two goals, ultimately helping the Chinese team beat Kazakhstan 5-0.

Kazakhstan itself is not very strong. It is currently at the bottom of its European World Cup qualifying group and is outside the top 100 in the FIFA rankings. However, the Chinese team was able to beat its opponent 5-0 at home and win so easily that domestic fans They are still generally satisfied and believe that the team's offense has improved greatly after Gao Han took charge.

What is particularly gratifying is that the 19-year-old teenager Zhang Yuning scored twice, and Xiao Zhi also scored a goal. The two international players recruited by Gao Han both scored goals, which somewhat alleviated the weakness of the national team's forwards. status quo.

However, in an interview with the media after the game, Gao Han said that he did not need to pay too much attention to this warm-up match. Kazakhstan had traveled a long distance and did not show its best condition. On the contrary, the Chinese team was waiting for work, so it was good to win. Of course.

However, Gao Han spoke highly of the performance of several young players in the team, especially Zhang Yuning. He believed that he was a very smart player with strong abilities, and encouraged him to work hard to improve himself in the European leagues and give time to He will definitely become a member of the national team.

In addition, Gao Han is basically satisfied with several newcomers who have just entered the national team, but he said that it is impossible to recruit everyone into the next national team because he will focus on the two games against South Korea and Iran. .

"This is the beginning of the top 12 tournament. Our opponents are all top teams in Asia, especially South Korea. They are very familiar with us. Moreover, it is the first game of the top 12 tournament and it is an away game. This will be good for us. It’s a huge test.”

"But I don't agree with the rumors in the outside world that we have no hope of winning. Being able to enter the top 12 is in itself a recognition of our strength."

"I believe that it is entirely possible for us to compete with our opponents even on the road."
