Super Marshal

"boss."

When Abramovich, accompanied by Granovskia, walked into the Stamford Bridge conference room, chairman Bruce Buck, CEO Peter Kenyon, sporting director Frank Arnesen and coach Rijkaard both stood up.

"Sit down, all sit down." Abramovich waved his hand, indicating that they were welcome.

Especially for Rijkaard, Abramovich smiled back and seemed to take him very seriously, which also made Black Swan's originally stiff expression soften a lot.

He is really not used to this kind of management atmosphere within Chelsea.

"Okay, let's talk about our current situation." As soon as Abramovich sat down, he immediately signaled the conference room to start.

The purpose of convening this high-level meeting today is to discuss Chelsea's transfer operation process this summer, especially the signings. Judging from the current situation, the progress is quite smooth.

Chelsea hired right back Belletti from Barcelona, ​​center back Alex from PSV, Pizarro from Bayern Munich, and Sidwell from Reading. The latter three players are all It's a free transfer.

But at the same time, Chelsea also let go of players such as Las Diarra, Glen Johnson, Geremi, and Boraluz, all of whom failed to get a chance to perform last season, or whose performance was unsatisfactory. player of.

The most regrettable one is Glen Johnson. This right back who once performed very well under Gao Han was not liked by Mourinho and has now been eliminated by Chelsea.

"I personally called Lyon president Aulas before and talked about the transfer of Malouda. He opened his mouth and directly shouted out 30 million euros. I rejected it on the spot."

When Peter Kenyon said this, he felt a little helpless, "But if you want to get this left winger, you will definitely have to pay a big price."

Ever since Robben was clamoring for a transfer, Chelsea had already started planning for Robben's replacement, and after searching, they chose Lyon left winger Malouda, a player who played well in Ligue 1 and the Champions League last season. Excellent performance on both.

But the entire European football world knows that Aulas is a famous vampire. Is it cheap to buy someone from him?

But some money really cannot be saved.

Since Gao Han led Chelsea to the top, the Blues have almost dominated the entire Premier League in the past few years, and the limelight is not bad. But this summer, Manchester United finally resurrected with full blood.

Ferguson took in Tevez, Pepe, Nani, Anderson and other powerful young players in one fell swoop, and his strength has skyrocketed.

Not only that, Manchester United is also fiercely pursuing Bayern Munich's midfielder Hargreaves, and is also negotiating with Bayer Leverkusen about the transfer of goalkeeper Rene Adler.

In addition, Chelsea has basically agreed to the transfer of veteran goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

In other words, in the new season, Ferguson will have to provide double insurance on the weakest link, the goalkeeper.

Judging from the current situation, Manchester United has spent a lot of money and made it clear that it will compete with Chelsea for the league championship and European competitions.

Some media reporters broke the news that Ferguson is said to be retiring after winning another Champions League, but no one knows whether it is true or not.

With Manchester United increasing their investment, Chelsea had to keep up.

Malouda is just one of them. Next, Chelsea will have to strengthen the goalkeeper position. The player they are currently interested in is Abramovich’s fellow countryman, Russian national goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, who plays for CSKA Moscow is inextricably linked to Abramovich, so the deal should go smoothly.

When Abramovich heard this, he looked at Peter Kenyon, nodded and said: "The negotiations must be completed as soon as possible, so as not to delay the team's pre-season preparations."

"I understand." Peter Kenyon nodded.

"Robben still refuses to renew his contract?" Abramovich asked.

He still appreciates Robben very much, because he was once the most eye-catching star in the Chelsea team, and was even hailed as the world-class superstar Chelsea is most likely to cultivate, but now he is making trouble to leave the team.

Mourinho doesn't like Robben very much, and Abramovich has known this for a long time. In order to win the Champions League in the second half of last season, he had to let Mourinho do it, but in the end, he didn't win the Champions League. , but Robben was frustrated with Chelsea and was clamoring to leave the team.

"Yeah, he didn't even invite us to the wedding, but he invited Gao Han." Frank Arnesen shook his head with complaint. He was the one who single-handedly managed it when he arrived at Eindhoven. After coming to Chelsea, The relationship is pretty good too.

Unexpectedly, now they are almost strangers.

"What did Real Madrid say?" Abramovich asked again.

"Mijatovic said that they would not consider putting Robinho in Robben's transfer because they have no idea of ​​selling the Brazilian, and from his tone, it seems that they have nothing to do with Robben recently. When contacted, Bayern Munich appeared to be very proactive."

"Bayern Munich?" Abramovich was a little surprised.

"Yeah, this Bundesliga team performed very poorly last season and couldn't even qualify for the Champions League. Now they are in the process of reorganization, so they want to poach Robben, and they also proposed 25 million euros. The offer was rejected by us, but Robben’s father came to Stamford Bridge and said that he hoped we would seriously consider Bayern Munich’s offer.”

Abramovich frowned when he heard this, "What's going on?"

"Who knows?" Peter Kenyon shook his head, "Maybe Bayern Munich made a big promise."

This is also a common thing in European football. For example, Bayern Munich promised to give Robben a huge annual salary.

"It seems that he is determined to leave the team."

"Yes," replied Peter Kenyon.

Abramovich thought for a moment, then looked at Rijkaard, "Frank, what do you think?"

Rijkaard thought for a moment and said, "Robben's departure is indeed regrettable, but since he wants to leave, let him go, but I hope to get an excellent winger."

"For example?"

"Messi at Barcelona, ​​or Robinho at Real Madrid."

"It's impossible for Messi to join Chelsea," Peter Kenyon reminded.

Messi had to leave Chelsea because of the high cold, which made it difficult for the Argentine to return to Stamford Bridge.

"Then Robinho."

Peter Kenyon immediately looked at Abramovich. This player is worth no less than Robben.

Abramovich thought for a while and immediately said: "Okay, let's run Robinho with all our strength."

Peter Kenyon nodded, "What about Robben?"

Abramovich's eyes flashed with determination, "Since he wants to leave, let him go."

But at this moment, for some reason, a person's name suddenly flashed in the Russian's mind.

"By the way, how is Gao Han doing lately? Frank said just now that Gao Han was invited to Robben's wedding?"

Abramovich has a conditioned vigilance towards this name. For some reason, every time she hears this name, she gets a creepy feeling.

He still remembers what Gao Han said to him on the podium in the Champions League final.

"Nothing happened. He came to attend Robben's wedding. We didn't know about it until later, but then he reportedly went to Madrid. You know, he has a team there. I heard it was promoted again this year."

"Promoted again?" Abramovich was a little surprised.

"Yeah, it was level one every year, and now it's level three." Peter Kenyon also found it incredible.

It feels like that Chinatown team is full of incredible mystery just like Gao Han.

For so many years in European football, from ancient times to the present, which team has been able to successfully upgrade from the lowest level to one level a year in such a short period of time?

More importantly, this team has not invested much money so far.

They rely on Atlético Madrid to poach a few youth training players every year, and then find some cost-effective players from the transfer market. They buy low and sell high, and they are still living a comfortable life, and their results are very stable. This has to be said. It's quite a legend.

But in any case, this news reassured Abramovich a lot.

Even if the Chinatown team is promoted again, it is still a third-level team. Even if it is promoted to La Liga and La Liga one day, it will be a matter of the Spanish League and has nothing to do with it.

Anyway, as long as Gao Han doesn't appear in his sight again, that'll be fine.

Rijkaard, who was sitting in the back, saw Abramovich mention Gao Han for the first time, but he felt that the Chelsea boss seemed to be very afraid of Gao Han, like a frightened bird, and he had to admire Gao Han in his heart.

"Okay, it's nothing, let's just decide." Abramovich said with some disappointment.

…………

…………

While Abramovich was talking about summer transfers at Stamford Bridge and the talent strategy for the new Premier League season, Gao Han was sitting in his office at the China Town Youth Training Center in Fuenlabrada with great dejection, looking at the scene in front of him. Stacking up thick resume materials makes me feel overwhelmed.

Finding a head coach for Chinatown for the new season is the main purpose of his trip.

As a result, two days passed, but he still couldn't find one that suited his heart.

But it's no wonder that he is picky. He is the head coach himself, and he is deeply committed to the job of the head coach. Naturally, it is easy for him to be dissatisfied with his colleagues who coach low-level leagues.

Although there is no shortage of outstanding head coaches in lower-level leagues, there are very few who can meet the high requirements.

However, the good thing is that, relying on Gao Han's reputation, there are quite a few head coaches who want to coach the Chinatown team. Their resumes are enough to fill the pile in front of Gao Han. But the more he looks at it, the more disappointed he becomes. Couldn't he come up with one? Is it eye-catching?

"I think you might as well coach yourself." Opposite him, Cantarero looked at his tangled look and said with a gloating smile, finally encountering something so cold and difficult.

"It's just a newly promoted team from the third tier league, so don't take yourself too seriously."

Gao Han was not happy to hear this.

"What does it mean to be a newly promoted team from the third division? Do you know how many future stars we have gathered in our youth academy? Do you know how much I have high hopes for this team? Our goal is definitely to upgrade, upgrade, If we upgrade again, we will enter La Liga within two or three years."

Cantarero chuckled, this was true, but he was also right when he said that the newly promoted team from the third level league was right.

"I don't believe it anymore. I haven't found anyone reassuring."

Gao Han also became stubborn and started searching in his resume again.

Needless to say, he really found one that made his eyes light up.

Just when he was about to take out the person's resume and take a closer look at his resume and coaching philosophy, his phone suddenly rang.

Caller ID, Guardiola.
