Super Marshal

April 20, Middlesbrough Riverside Stadium.

After Gao Han came back, his first game back in the Premier League successfully attracted the attention of the whole UK.

The riverside stadium, which can accommodate more than 35,000 fans, was packed, but not all of them were the home team. There were many fans who came specifically for Gao Han. They hung banners in the stands and shouted loud slogans to welcome Gao Han. return.

After two years of separation, British fans hope to catch a glimpse of Gaohan.

Before the game, Middlesbrough head coach McClaren had been chatting with Gao Han for a long time. The local coach, who had good coaching results this season, was happy about Gao Han's return, and also jokingly expressed the hope that Gao Han would be merciful.

As a former assistant coach of Ferguson, Gao Han is no stranger to McLaren and responded with a smile that he will do his best.

Reliving the atmosphere of the Premier League, Gao Han felt a familiarity with a touch of warmth.

But football games are cruel.

The Riverside Stadium has been a nightmare for wealthy teams this season. They drew with Liverpool in the first round of the league, then defeated Arsenal 2-1, then defeated Manchester United 4-1, and defeated Chelsea 3-0. They all performed very well.

McLaren also became famous because of his outstanding record against strong teams.

However, the away game suffered a 7-0 defeat to Arsenal and a 0-2 defeat to Liverpool, both of which left McLaren with mixed reputations.

But no matter what, McLaren is definitely not to be underestimated at the Riverside Stadium.

Gao Han is well aware of the horror of the Premier League team's home court, so he attaches great importance to this game, but considering that he will face Juventus on the weekend, he also has to make appropriate rotations.

Fortunately, Inter Milan's technical and tactical framework has become increasingly mature, and the rotation strategy is also well-operated, which does not have a big impact on the team's combat effectiveness. The team also insists on my dominant style of play during the game, firmly controlling the flow of the game. initiative.

But the two sides persisted until the 44th minute, before Inter Milan scored a goal from Recoba.

After changing sides in the second half, Middlesbrough launched a counterattack, but was quickly suppressed by Inter Milan.

After that, the Nerazzurri launched a strong attack starting from the 75th minute, and in the 81st minute, Stankovic scored a goal, defeating Middlesbrough 2-0 away from home.

Although it was a complete victory, the game was very difficult.

And the morning after playing Middlesbrough...

…………

…………

"Knock~knock~"

"Please come in."

Gao Han sat behind his desk and raised his head, just in time to see Cantarero standing at the door, smiling and shaking a stack of letters in his hand at him, which looked like quite a lot.

"Just came here, a letter from your fan." Cantarero walked in, put the pile of letters on Gao Han's desk, pointed to the top letter, and said jokingly: "Here, you Letter from that little Israeli fan.”

"Thank you." Gao Han nodded and smiled.

"Hey, let me tell you, you and her have been writing letters for several years. You are so old-fashioned. You use MSN these days."

Gao Han chuckled, "Do you want to take care of it? We like to write letters. Do you know what a pen pal is?"

"Pen pal? I guess it's more than that. She started from Atletico Madrid, to Chelsea to Inter Milan, chasing you all the way. Is it just as simple as a pen pal?" Cantarero looked like a detective who must have something wrong here, "By the way, Lin Does Xia know?"

"I know, she answered some of the letters for me." Gao Han replied frankly.

Lin Xia also felt that the little girl was indeed quite interesting.

Cantarero was speechless. He really couldn't understand. Is it really as simple as just a pen pal?

But just after Gao Han took away the top letter sent from Israel, he was attracted by the following email.

The mail was rectangular in shape, about the size of an A4 paper, and was wrapped tightly on the outside. There was no address of the recipient or sender written on it, but the address of the recipient, Gao Han, was written in English.

"Who sent it?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

"I don't know, the security guard at the door didn't notice when I received it." Cantarero replied matter-of-factly.

Many fans from all over the world send things to Gao Han every day, and they have long been used to it.

Gao Han picked up the mail and shook it in his hand. There was no movement inside, which was a little strange.

"What? Worried about a bomb?" Cantarero joked.

Gao Han replied angrily, "As long as it's a bomb, I'll throw it to you before it explodes." As he said that, he picked up the letter opener on the table and skillfully cut open the outer envelope of the mail.

It turned out that there was a small cardboard box inside.

Gao Han opened the lid of the carton, and a layer of foam immediately popped up inside. The foam filled the entire carton, wrapping a small USB drive in the middle. No wonder you couldn't hear any movement even if you shook it from the outside.

"What?" Cantarero was also surprised now.

Gao Han took out the USB flash drive, looked at it before and after, and started to think about it. He didn't understand at all, who gave it to him? What's inside?

Thinking of this, Gao Han turned around the laptop on the table and plugged it in directly.

"Hey, is there a virus?" Cantarero reminded.

Gao Han suddenly realized, "Well, that makes sense, use yours."

After saying that, he immediately stood up from the table and walked to the next door.

Cantarero was really on the verge of tears. He really wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he talking so much?

When he chased him to the next door, he happened to see Gao Han insert the USB flash drive into the laptop he had just bought. At that moment, his facial muscles twitched and his heart was bleeding.

But when Gao Han opened the USB drive folder in his computer, Cantarero was attracted by the dense folders in the folder.

Almost all of these folders are named with numbers, and they seem to be related to the year, because the first numbers are all like 2003, 2004, and 2005.

"What?" Cantarero said in surprise.

Gao Han was also surprised and couldn't understand it at all.

After seeing the strange behavior of the two people, several other people in the coaching room all came closer.

When they saw the folder in the USB flash drive, they were also confused.

Gao Han controlled the mouse and clicked into one of the folders named 20040810. There was an audio file in it. Gao Han immediately double-clicked the mouse to open the audio file.

As soon as the audio file was opened, there was a burst of conversation.

"Hello." This was an unfamiliar voice.

"Jiji, where are you?"

Gao Han recognized it almost as soon as he heard it. It was the voice of Juventus general manager Moggi.

"I'm getting ready to go," the stranger replied.

"Oh, but...has the referee arranged it?"

"Well, Fandel is one of our best referees..."

"I know, but Miccoli's goal was a good goal." Moggi added.

"no."

"It's a good shot, it's a good shot!" Moji suddenly became excited.

"No, he's offside," the stranger replied, "You know, Vandel is the best..."

"But you know, this ball might..." Moggi interrupted the stranger, "Let's put all our hopes on the road. It's a gamble for us."

"I don't like that assistant referee very much, absolutely not, but let's think about the other one. He gave Trezeguet a lot of help."

"That's another thing, I'm already thinking about the Stockholm game now, how was it?" Moggi asked.

"Try it, holy shit, it's a competition."

"No, we have to win, you know, that's what I said..."

The audio stopped suddenly, but Moji's voice was deafening, leaving Gao Han and his assistants stunned.

"Check, did Juventus have a game on August 10, 2004?" Gao Han was the first to wake up and looked at Sergio Garcia.

The latter immediately entered it into his laptop and quickly found it.

"Yes, the home match in the first leg of the third round of the Champions League qualifiers will be against Sweden's Djurgardens."

Gao Han frowned, "This is obviously after the game, but who is that person?"

No one can give Gao Han the answer, but everyone knows that this matter has gone far beyond their expectations.

Behind the folder 20040810, there was another folder named 20040824. After opening it, there was still an audio file in it. Gao Han immediately clicked to open it.

"Hello." Moji's voice came.

"Good morning, Mr. Moggi, I am Mr. Paireto's secretary, Moreno, and I would like to discuss with you the selection of the chief referee and assistant referee for tomorrow night's Champions League match."

"Is the referee Cardoso?"

"No, we're looking at Graham Ball."

"Uh...what country is he from?"

"English."

The sound paused momentarily, and there was silence.

Gao Han knows that Graham Ball is a famous world-class referee in England, which means...

"Hello." Another voice sounded.

Everyone can easily tell that this is the person in the document 20040810 just now.

"Good morning, Gigi."

"Good morning."

"How's the Cardoso, huh?"

"Well……"

"Paul Green."

"What?"

"Paul Green," Moggi repeated.

"A lot of things have happened recently. I arranged for Cardoso, and something happened... I'll see if something happened or something else happened."

"Notify me immediately if you have any news, notify me immediately!" Moji shouted seriously.

"Yes, yes, I'll confirm it right away." The other party agreed quickly.

The audio stops abruptly here.

"Check again, who is the referee for the second round." Gao Han pointed to Sergio Garcia.

Everyone present clearly realized that this matter was completely beyond their imagination.

But who is it that secretly handed such a piece of information to Gao Han?

"Found." Sergio Garcia quickly came up with the result.

"The referee who officiated the second-round match between Juventus and Djurgarden was indeed England international referee Graham Ball. Obviously the audio is authentic."

"What about Pai Leto?" Gao Han asked.

"It should be the referee designator of UEFA. He used to be the referee designator of Italy. His name is Pierluigi Paireto. According to Italian custom, friends call him Gigi, and that Moreno It should be his secretary."

As soon as Sergio Garcia finished speaking, the air in the entire office seemed to be sucked out.

Everyone looked at Gao Han in disbelief, and Gao Han himself was stunned.

Even though he had many magical experiences and a coaching system, he was still shocked by what he heard.

It is obvious that Moggi is arranging the head referee and assistant referee of the Juventus game through UEFA referee designator Paireto. Needless to say, he will definitely arrange the head referee in his favor.

Moreover, judging from their phone calls, it should be more than just these two times.

Who tapped their phone calls?

What does he want to do?

Woohoo, even the national football team can defeat South Korea, but I haven't been able to break out yet. I am ashamed of all my book friends!
