Super Marshal

Forty million!

Or Euros!

When the news from the Italian media reached China, it immediately caused a huge response in the country.

No one thought that the Chinese Super League, which had always spent money and grabbed people from abroad, could actually sell it for such an astonishing price, which was 40 million euros!

Not only are the domestic football and fan circles excited, but all sectors of society are also paying attention to this transfer.

Soon, deeper details came from abroad, allowing everyone to see clearly the entire process of this transfer.

It turned out that it was Jorge Mendes, the world's number one agent, who personally handled the transfer. It was precisely because of his shrewd calculations and excellent operational abilities, coupled with the clever cooperation from Chinatown, that he finally forced Juventus accepted the sky-high price.

Gao Han also specially accepted an interview with an authoritative TV station to analyze the reasons behind this transfer.

"Agusto's 40 million euro transfer to Juventus is too expensive?"

"The answer is clear, it is indeed expensive, but not expensive."

"Why do you say that?"

"The transfer market is a market economy, with prices determined by supply and demand. Serie A has not been in good shape in recent years, but two strong teams, Inter Milan and Juventus, have taken the opportunity to gain momentum. Every year, the Champions League prize pool belongs to Italian teams. That part is nearly 90 million euros, and most of it is divided between these two teams.”

"It can be said that Serie A is very poor as a whole, but Juventus and Inter Milan are very rich. They have money but no people. They need high-level players, but with a lot of money, they have found that in recent years, they have High-level midfielders are extremely scarce in European football, to what extent are they scarce?"

“Before purchasing Augusto, giant teams such as Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and Liverpool were all interested in Monaco midfielder Bakayoko. He is very young, only 22 years old. But Monaco rejected an offer of 60 million euros from a Premier League team for a player who has yet to play for the national team."

"The reason why I give this example is just to tell all fans and colleagues that we should not be blindly arrogant, but we should not belittle ourselves either. Buying one for 40 million euros has performed quite well throughout 2016. A high-level Brazilian midfielder is the main international player, which is not shocking in the European transfer market."

"Perhaps the only surprising thing is that this popular Brazilian international comes from the Chinese Super League."

Regarding Augusto's transfer, Gao Han believes that it is of great reference value and proves that the competitiveness of the Chinese Super League is not that weak.

"More importantly, I think it points us to a path."

"Augusto's transfer to Juventus means that the Chinese professional league has officially integrated with other mainstream leagues in the world. The so-called market means that there are incomings and outgoings. In the past, we always relied on burning money to introduce outside players. But actually, I think we can also send our players to the outside world appropriately."

"We made two transactions this summer. One was the transfer of Augusto to Juventus. Everyone knows about it, but in fact, we also sent Yilmaz back to Turkey. The transfer fee was 10 million euros. It is also higher than when he joined, and with Yilmaz’s transfer fee, we introduced three young foreign players, Richarlison, Arthur and Lucas Verisimo.”

"And I position BJ Chinatown as a springboard to the European giants."

Gao Han's exclusive interview on the TV station sparked heated discussions not only among the fans, but also among all walks of life.

The authoritative party newspaper spoke highly of Augusto's transfer and believed it would be a milestone in the development of the Chinese Professional League. The world's top operations team introduced by BJ Chinatown also allowed everyone to see the role of the heroes behind the scenes.

It is not easy to operate such a transfer transaction. You must not only clearly understand Juventus' desire for talent, but also weigh Juventus' money bag. At the same time, you must be able to accurately grasp the general trend in the transfer market. , and finally shrewd operations are required.

As for what Gao Han finally said, he hoped to use BJ Chinatown as a springboard for wealthy families. The authoritative party newspaper also praised this positioning.

Augusto is the best example.

Judging from the three foreign players introduced by BJ Chinatown, they are all very young players with great potential. After a little polishing, I believe it will not be difficult to land in the top European leagues in the future and sell them at a good price.

This was also the trajectory of Chinatown’s rise in La Liga.

Strong youth training and talent training, as well as an excellent scouting system, all of these made Chinatown once become a star-making factory for wealthy teams. They were poached by opponents every year, but the result was that they became stronger and stronger, and finally even achieved three Champions League titles. consecutive championships.

This summer, eight core players were sold in exchange for a transfer fee of one billion euros. This is probably unprecedented in the history of European professional leagues. But even so, Chinatown still ranks at the top of La Liga, with most in the second and second places. The third and second positions are lingering, and another famous coach after Pochettino and Zidane is introduced, Valverde.

The authoritative party newspaper finally concluded, calling on domestic football industry players to consider Gao Han's suggestions. Blindly burning money like crazy will not work. There will always be an end. The European League can attract hot money from around the world and allow fans around the world to pay for them. But not the Chinese Super League.

In this case, finding the most suitable way of survival for you as soon as possible and accurately finding your position in the world football market will undoubtedly be the next biggest test for the Chinese Super League team.

The answer given by BJ Chinatown is to tap the potential of new players. What about other teams?

Compared with the intense discussion caused by Augusto's sky-high transfer, another thing mentioned by Gao Han in the authoritative TV interview program did not attract the attention of the outside media and fans, but it did not attract the attention of the Football Association, Chinese Super League teams and Riots arose among capital parties.

That is Gao Han's call for the China Cup Invitational Tournament to be postponed or even cancelled.

In the show at that time, Gao Han only mentioned it briefly and did not talk about it in depth, but it still attracted the attention of people in the industry.

There has been a long-standing debate about the China Cup Invitational Tournament. Ever since the tournament was scheduled to be scheduled in January, it has aroused discussions and even protests among industry insiders.

The reason is very simple. January is the most critical pre-match preparation period for Chinese Super League teams. At this time, there is no need to say how meaningful it is to dispatch the national team to play in such a cup competition, but the losses caused to the club are not. very clear.

This is not only true for the national football team, but also for the opponents in the game.

As a person who has coached in the European League for more than ten years, Gao Han knows very well that in January, the European League is in the critical winter break training period, and the Premier League is the most intensive stage of the schedule. It is impossible to have any games at this time. A team allows national players to participate in national team events.

Since it is not on an international match day, the national team cannot force the international players to return to the team.

Not to mention the European League, even their home teams would find it difficult for the national team to dispatch national players to go to China to play in an invitational tournament. Therefore, it is self-evident how valuable such an event is.

The three teams invited this time are Croatia, Iceland and Chile. The teams are all strong teams and meet Gao Han's previous requirements, but their opponents are all here for money. Gao Han even gave Modric and Kovacic When I called Sanchez and others to learn about the situation, they had not even received a call-up to the national team.

This is obvious. The other party has only one goal from the beginning, which is to make money by exploiting acupuncture points.

With Gao Han's current status and influence, even a casual sentence can trigger heated discussions across the country.

After hearing the voices from the outside world, Gao Han quickly clarified on Weibo, saying that he very much recognized the good intentions of the capital side in running such an event, and also cherished the opportunity to have such an international competition at home, but time was indeed not enough. suitable.

Gao Han also said that many Chinese Super League teams have just assembled, and some have not even started winter training. At this time, the national players are recruited into the team, and they have no ability to play the game. Rather than doing this, it is better to delay and then choose the right players again. time.

The Football Association responded quickly to Gao Han's call, saying it was carefully studying and considering Gao Han's suggestions.

The attitude of the investors was rather bad. They questioned the investors as soon as they came up, saying that they had been planning hard for two years and had been preparing for this event for the past six months. Even the provinces and cities where the event was located were doing their best to cooperate. , invested huge resources, and now it is ready to go. Is it appropriate to call a timeout at this time?

Although he did not mention anyone by name, the target of the attack was undoubtedly Gao Han.

Gao Han's reply was as gentle as ever, without any intention of conflict with the other party.

He first apologized, saying that he was indeed inconsiderate, but he also said in a neither humble nor condescending way that he was only the head coach of the national team and was only responsible for the national team. He had only recently received news about the specific operation of the event and the selection of participating teams.

"I have responded to these questions many times over the past month, but have received no reply."

"As the head coach, my responsibility is to lead the national team and the national team well. No matter which game it is, we will go all out, but I will never allow players who are not capable of participating in the game to appear in my team. .”

The implication is that even if the national team is forced to participate, Gao Han will only recruit some players from the second team, or even the third and fourth teams.

Gao Han's rationalization has won the support of all the international players, and even many Chinese Super League teams and people in the football industry have praised him.

Others may not know how important pre-season training is to a team or a player, but Gao Han knows it very well.

Pre-season training affects not just the start of the league, but the first half, or even the entire season. This is true for the team and the players.

This is why Gao Han always liked to complete transfers before training camps when he coached European teams in the past. La Liga Chinatown and BJ Chinatown, where he was able to make the decision, also completed transfer matters early, leaving him with The team and coaching staff have enough time to train and prepare for the game.

Just imagine, under such circumstances, for an invitational tournament with a low gold content, the elites of each team were recruited, even if it was only for a few days, it would completely disrupt the preparation plans of each team. Needless to say, the impact would be huge. .

Gao Han's stance was quickly recognized by domestic fans and public opinion. Many people who originally did not dare to speak out now also stood up and spoke out, believing that the schedule of the invitational tournament should indeed be reconsidered.

The Football Association was also under pressure and quickly came forward to say that it was indeed unprofessional for the Football Association to agree to participate but not consider the schedule. Next, it will do its best to communicate and coordinate to strive for a proper solution.

The investors also quickly came forward to clarify, saying that they had absolutely no intention of questioning Gao Han. At the same time, the organizer has also seriously considered Gao Han's suggestions and is currently communicating and coordinating with all parties.

At the end of December, the investors finally issued a statement stating that the invitational tournament would be postponed.

But just when the Chinese Super League team, the national football team and the national team were all rejoicing and thinking that Gao Han had won another victory, Gao Han was not happy at all.

Because he knew that many things had not changed and such unprofessional troubles would continue to occur in the future.
