Super Marshal

"Enrique, have you read today's newspaper?"

At the Calderón Stadium, Little Hill walked into Cerezo's office impatiently, holding a freshly released AS paper in his hand, and put it directly on Cerezo's desk.

Cerezo didn't even look at it, nodded and said, "I saw it on the way here."

In the lower right corner of the front page of the Aspen newspaper, there was a vaguely blurred photo with two people in it.

An agent who is obviously Gao Han, Jorge Mendes.

As for the other stranger, neither of them knew each other.

But the reporting reporter said it was Juan Laporta, Barcelona's legal adviser and right-hand man to president Gaspart.

In the past period of time, news about Barcelona wanting to re-invite Gao Han to return to Camp Nou to coach has been heard all the time, but at this juncture, Gao Han's agent met with the right-hand man of the Barcelona chairman in private, which arouses people's imagination.

Aspen said that he had received accurate information that Barcelona kindly invited Gao Han to return to the Nou Camp to replace Rexach as the team's head coach.

This will be the youngest head coach in Barcelona's century-old history.

In order to show the authenticity of his revelations, Aspen even revealed that Gaspart's move did not get the support of the godfather Cruyff, because the latter always believed that Gao Han belonged to the faction of his sworn enemy Van Gaal.

As the saying goes, there are pictures and there are truths.

Even though the rumors were flying all over the sky before, Little Hill didn't even bother to take a look, but now, even the photos have come out, so he can't help but take it seriously.

"What should we do now?" Little Hill sat anxiously opposite Cerezo and asked with concern.

Cerezo was as calm and calm as ever, "Don't worry, I've already called Paul, he's testing Gao Han's tone, I believe there will be news soon."

Little Hill had a strange look, unexpectedly, Cerezo had already started to work.

When encountering major problems, he is indeed not as calm and calm as Cerezo.

"I believe that with Gao Han's character and personality, he will not easily give up the situation he has worked hard in our team. With his current situation, even if he goes to Barcelona, ​​what can he do?"

Cerezo's analysis made Xiao Hill nod repeatedly.

Putting nothing else aside, can that group of superstars convince him?

More than a year ago, Gao Han was just an intern who was called around by them, but now he wants to take care of them?

Let me ask, can the vote of superstars be convinced?

If you can't control it, isn't Gao Han's situation in Barcelona similar to that of Ferrer and Rexach?

"So you think there's something wrong with the reporting?"

Cerezo nodded, "Mendez and Laporta must have met, but no one knows what to talk about."

Little Hill also thinks it makes sense.

Mendes' agent business is getting bigger and bigger. It is said that after Hugo Leal's transfer, he took the opportunity to poach Jose Vega's corner, intending to focus on managing Barcelona's players.

Therefore, when he met Laporta, there were too many topics to talk about.

At this moment, Xiao Hill's cell phone rang suddenly, and when he took it out, it turned out to be Jorge Mendes.

Little Hill and Cerezo looked at each other, but suppressed the anxiety in their hearts, and connected the phone.

But in fact, on the phone, Mendes explained the reason for his meeting with Laporta, and confessed that Barcelona was indeed very interested in Gao Han, but Gao Han didn't see Laporta at all, but came out by himself send off.

This immediately made both Xiao Hill and Cerezo heave a sigh of relief.

Soon, the news of Paul Futre also came.

Gao Han personally promised the technical director in the sports city that after his success, he had no intention of leaving Atletico Madrid.

As for Gao Han's so-called success, Paul Futre smiled and gave a goal that surprised both Hill and Cerezo.

"Champions League!"

When Xiao Hill hung up the phone, he firmly grasped the armrest of the chair back, and Cerezo clenched his fists tightly with his hands on the desk.

Champions League?

What a distant and desired goal is this for Atletico Madrid?

In the nearly 100-year history of the Sheets Legion, they have never been involved in the Champions League.

In the 1995 and 1996 season, when the team won the La Liga double under the leadership of the head coach Antić, they were ambitious and wanted to hit the European Champions Cup, but they encountered a slap in the face.

In the 1996 and 1997 season, Atletico Madrid reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, but was defeated by the Ajax youth team at the time.

Not only failed to make a difference in the European Champions Cup, but also only finished fifth in La Liga.

Atlético have taken a sharp turn since then, failing to revive their former ambitions.

Especially after the team encountered the nightmare of relegation, they dare not even mention it.

A newly promoted horse, but talk about winning the UEFA Champions League?

But at this moment, both Xiao Xie and Cerezo were encouraged by Gao Han's fighting spirit.

Sixteen consecutive victories in La Liga, consecutive victories in the UEFA Cup and Copa del Rey, such a team, such momentum, such a state, who dares to say that it is impossible?

Hill and Cerezo knew very well in their hearts that if they could win the Champions League, it would be a great boost to Atletico Madrid. But at least it will allow Atletico Madrid to gain a foundation for long-term development and regain the glory of the third giant in La Liga.

With a Champions League and a solid foundation laid by Gao Han for the team, as long as the club can endure loneliness and work hard for a few years, in time, it will definitely be able to compete against Barcelona and Real Madrid.

This temptation is really too great!

It was so big that Xiao Hill and Cerezo were silent for a few minutes before they could digest it and calm down.

"Michelle, we have to show some sincerity," Cerezo said.

Little Hill also nodded and said, "Contract renewal, salary increase."

"In the second half of the year, the contract benefits and bonuses remain the same, and the salary is doubled."

Gao Han's current annual salary is one million euros after tax, and double that is two million euros after tax, which is reasonable.

"After the season is over, we will talk to Mendes about a contract extension, as long as it is within the acceptable range of the club, we agree."

Little Hill was surprised. He didn't expect Enrique Cerezo, who was always stingy, to be so generous. It was really impressive.

Cerezo also seemed to have sensed Xiao Hill's playful expression, shook his head and laughed and said, "I've always said that I'm not stingy, and I just spend the money where it should be spent. You yourself have never believed it."

Little Hill laughed out loud.

Gao Han was willing to stay in the team, so he was relieved.

…………

…………

The rumors about Gao Han's intention to coach Barcelona came and went quickly.

The reorganization of the management by Hill, Cerezo and others has shown quite amazing efficiency this time.

Atletico Madrid quickly issued an announcement, and the team announced the renewal of the contract with Gao Han.

It was only half a year after the last contract renewal, and the contract was renewed again. The frequency of this contract renewal is indeed too fast, but it is not surprising.

This time, Atletico Madrid did not announce the specific content of the renewal terms at all. Instead, when answering reporters' questions, they confidently stated that Gao Han would not leave Atletico Madrid.

Not during winter break, nor next summer!

But soon, all-pervasive reporters spied out information. It turned out that this time it was a year and a half.

It didn't take long, and the Spanish media was not surprised, because before the high cold, there was another weirdo in La Liga, that is Irueta of Deportivo. This guy's contract has always been renewed for one year. It will make him more motivated.

After dealing with Gao Han's contract renewal issue, Atlético de Madrid was also determined to defeat Murcia 2-0 in the first round of the Copa del Rey round of sixteen knockout match in midweek without any surprises.

On December 16th, in the seventeenth round of the league, the Sheets played at the Calderon Stadium and ushered in Real Mallorca.

This is the first time that Gao Han has met Aragones this season. Although the two chatted for a long time before the game, they played against each other in the game and had a great time.

Real Mallorca's biggest problem now is the aging of the player structure. Although there are rookies like Eto'o and Luke, the entire midfield is too old. The outstanding performance last season is not big in itself. Reasonable, so the decline this season, although surprising, is also reasonable.

But even so, it is not easy for Atletico Madrid to really break through Real Mallorca's defense.

Finally, before the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid launched a wave of onslaught, and Guardiola scored a long shot from the front of the penalty area to score three points for Atletico Madrid.

After the game, Gao Han and Atletico Madrid's Big Three, as well as Chairman Old Hill, all treated Aragones well, and the old coach also confided to Gao Han the difficulties he is facing now.

On the one hand, the age structure of the midfield is too old, and on the other hand, Eto'o and Luke are not mature enough.

Especially Eto'o, Aragones has a very high evaluation of this player, not even losing to Villa and Torres.

And Gao Han also took a look with his piercing eyes. Eto'o's potential is still 185, and his strength is still 145. Compared with last season when he played in the King's Cup, he has not improved.

This made Gao Han frown a little.

In fact, in the La Liga scoring list, as the team's main player, Eto'o has only scored two goals in 17 rounds, which is less than his striker partner Luke. This is really hard to satisfy .

But Aragones had full confidence in him.

"He's like a sword whose edge is hidden, if it doesn't reveal itself, it's amazing!"

Everyone, including Old Hill, did not believe it, but Gao Han firmly believed it.

The potential of 185 is there, and Eto'o is only 20 years old, which is still early.

Perhaps affected by the previous rumors that Gao Han took over the Nou Camp, Rexach learned from the pain this round. With Kluivert's goal, he narrowly beat Villarreal 1-0 in the away game, ending the four rounds Unbearably embarrassing situation.

After the game, almost all public opinion believed that Rexach was really tough.

But a week later, Barcelona collapsed again. In the same city derby with the Espanyol, they lost 0-2 away.

The defeat dropped Barcelona to eighth place in the league.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid first defeated Murcia 1-0 in the second round of the Copa del Rey in the middle of the week. After successfully advancing to the next round, they challenged Deportivo in the eighteenth round of the weekend. , In the case of being led by Deportivo in just seven minutes of the start, with the goals of Deco, Torres and Villa, they reversed Deportivo 3-2 and won the 18th consecutive match. win.

After this round of fighting, La Liga also ushered in a two-week winter break.
