Chapter 795 Liquidated Damages

After nearly ten years of coaching, Gao Han has traveled to many stadiums in Europe, including grand and spectacular stadiums such as the Bernabeu and Camp Nou, as well as modern stadiums such as Schalke and Emirates Stadium, and also personally experienced the stadiums of Inter Milan. Planning and Design.

But in Gao Han's eyes, the most dreamy stadium is Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena.

Having coached Bayern Munich for two years, Gao Han is very familiar with the Allianz Arena. He clearly understands that this stadium is not only a dream in appearance, nor is it just a layer of luminous film, it is also about the construction technology and spatial structure. In terms of construction, it has created many firsts in the world and can be said to have pioneered the sports architecture category.

Herzog and de Meuron, the designers of the Allianz Arena, later used these aspects of design again when designing the Bird's Nest, the main stadium of the BJ Olympics, and used their advanced advantages in this area to convince the Chinese judges. However, later Due to the slogan of Green Olympics, the design of the Bird's Nest has been significantly modified, so that many things have not been realized.

But based on Gao Han's two years at the Allianz Arena, this stadium is indeed well designed. So now that Chinatown is planning to build a new stadium, the first thing that comes to Gao Han's mind is this Swiss building. Office.

However, the stadium design in Chinatown must have some Chinese elements. Therefore, Gao Han hopes that like the Bird's Nest, a Chinese architectural design institute and a Swiss architectural firm can jointly design the stadium.

In this way, the design cost will definitely be more expensive, but Gao Han feels it is worth it.

After being appointed by Gao Han, Armando Marcos said that after he returns, he will immediately organize the business department to conduct business evaluation and planning for the new stadium. He will also investigate the business environment around Fuenlabrada and even the southern suburbs of Madrid. After a complete set of detailed plans, we will immediately contact architectural design companies in Switzerland and China.

But whether it is preparing a plan or planning and designing, it is not something that can be completed in a short time. Therefore, after the negotiation was completed and the decision was made, Mendes, Cantarero and others dispersed.

Gao Han stayed in Manchester to prepare for the away game against Wolves.

The Wolves' performance this season is mediocre, currently ranked 15th in the league, and there is a clear gap in strength between them and Manchester City. Although the game is at home, head coach McCarthy has a lineup of six defenders, which is really surprising.

This is definitely the most conservative game Manchester City has faced this season.

As a result, the Wolves' defense only lasted for thirty minutes, and Benzema's goal helped Manchester City open the scoring.

After changing sides in the second half, defenders Kompany and Benzema scored goals successively, ultimately helping Manchester City defeat Wolves 3-0 away from home and successfully win a victory.

…………

In the twentieth round of the Premier League, Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 5-0 at home, Arsenal beat Portsmouth 4-1 away, Liverpool beat Aston Villa 1-0 at home, and then Chelsea lost 0-1 at home. Fulham.

Drogba and many other players went to Africa to participate in national team training and prepare for the African Cup of Nations. Anelka was injured, resulting in Chelsea's shortage of midfield and frontcourt manpower. As a result, Chelsea lost to Fulham in an upset this round and became the only player. A losing team.

The pervasive Sun even published news on the second day of the game, revealing that on the Caribbean island of Toba Thelemi, Chelsea owner Abramovich and many distinguished guests enjoyed two Premier League matches between Manchester City and Chelsea.

After Chelsea's upset loss to Fulham at home, Abramovich personally promised in front of everyone that the team would introduce two strong players, Falcao and Ramires, during the winter break.

As soon as the Sun's explosive news was published, it immediately caused a huge earthquake in the entire European football world.

Immediately afterwards, the Sun published another news. Falcao’s agent Jorge Mendes secretly appeared in London and met with Abramovich’s confidant Marina Granovskia. Meet to discuss Falcao's transfer.

These two pieces of news immediately set the transfer market ablaze.

Could it be said that Chelsea really wants to recruit Falcao?

How much will the transfer fee be?

With a lot of suspense, time finally crossed the year 2009 and officially entered the year 2010.

On the first day of 2010, Spanish newspaper Aspen broke the news that Real Madrid had officially announced that its plan to introduce Falcao had failed. The reason was that a team offered a higher transfer bargaining chip. The city has basically reached a consensus.

As a result, that afternoon, Chelsea couldn't wait to announce that the team officially introduced powerful center Falcao and midfielder Ramires from La Liga Chinatown.

Falcao has scored fifteen goals in the first fifteen rounds of La Liga this season, leading forwards such as David Villa, Ibrahimovic, Soldado and Higuain. , ranking first in La Liga's scorer list.

Brazilian midfielder Ramirez is also a newly emerging midfielder in La Liga this season. He performed very bravely and was both offensive and defensive. He is an important part of Chelsea's strengthening of the midfield.

Two generals were introduced from Chinatown in one fell swoop, but Chelsea did not disclose the specific transfer fees of the players.

However, in the evening of the same day, Chinatown publicly announced the transfer of the two players on its official website and Twitter, and expressed regret that the team had tried its best to retain them, but Chelsea paid them liquidated damages.

This immediately shocked fans around the world.

Liquidated damages?

Falcao's liquidated damages are as high as 60 million euros, while Ramirez's liquidated damages also reach 30 million euros.

In other words, Chelsea spent 90 million euros in one breath to introduce two generals.

Not only was European football shocked, but the whole world was also shocked.

But Falcao's transfer soap opera finally came to an end, and everyone finally got a result.

But soon, all the media and fans began to care about Chinatown.

Gao Han's team is currently ranked seventh in La Liga. It originally had great hope of breaking into the top six of the league and entering the European competition. Many people are even looking forward to Chinatown meeting Gao Han in the European competition. Let's see what UEFA will do. How to rule.

Because according to the rules, as long as the team coached by Gao Han participates in the same event as Chinatown, there will inevitably be a conflict of interest. But before, this rule was more aimed at investors, but now it is the head coach.

However, after entering January, Chinatown ushered in the first game of the new year. As a result, they lost to Real Mallorca 0-2 away from home. They lost the first game of the new year and dropped to eighth in the league rankings. Many people watching the show were disappointed.

A week later, in the 17th round of La Liga, Chinatown challenged Malaga away. The two sides played a close game. Malaga took the lead in scoring in the first half, but the Chinatown team scored in the 78th minute of the second half, led by Mkhitaryan. Assisted Diego Costa to equalize the score.

In the end, the two sides ended up in a one-to-one draw.

Also relying on the one point scored in this game, Chinatown retained its eighth position in the league.

In the 18th round of La Liga, Chinatown returned to the Aldervilla Stadium and welcomed Mourinho's Real Madrid.

This is undoubtedly a difficult game for Chinatown.

After losing Falcao and Ramirez successively, this team is obviously in trouble, and encountering Real Madrid at this time will undoubtedly make the situation worse.

But Pochettino made a decisive change in this game, from the original 433 to 423, with Schneiderlin and Marcos Senna forming a double defensive midfielder, and Mkhitaryan playing as an attacking midfielder. , Hazard and Aubameyang formed two wings, Diego Costa was in the center, and launched an attack at the beginning.

It has to be said that Pochettino's change of formation worked wonders. Not only did Mkhitaryan assist Diego Costa to score in Chinatown in the third minute of the game, but he also firmly suppressed the Royals throughout the first half. In Madrid, Mourinho's team played very awkwardly and had to make substitutions and adjustments in the midfield.

But in the second half, Chinatown finally showed signs of fatigue and was very embarrassed by Real Madrid. Schneiderlin received a second yellow card in the 81st minute and was sent off with a red card.

But until the end of the game, Real Madrid failed to score.

In the end, Pochettino's team narrowly defeated Mourinho's Real Madrid 1-0.

After this round, Chinatown once again returned to seventh place in the league.

But this time Chinatown only lasted a week.

A week later, in the 19th round of La Liga, they lost 1-3 away to Deportivo La Coruna, and in the 20th round after that, they lost 0-1 away to Espanyol, suffering two consecutive defeats.

Two losses dropped Chinatown's ranking back to eighth in the league.

But it was also during this period that the Chinatown team's signings finally bore fruit.

After more than half a month of operation, under the guidance of Mendes, Chinatown announced that the team had introduced Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera from Zaragoza for 3.5 million euros. .

This young player’s performance this season has been up and down, with mixed reputations, but he has good talent. However, Zaragoza’s relegation prospects this season are very dangerous. They are currently ranked 19th in La Liga and are the favorites for relegation, so Ander Herrera did not resist switching to Chinatown, which had basically successfully avoided relegation.

This signing is also seen as a key signing to fill Ramirez's vacancy, but many people doubt whether Ander Herrera has the strength to play the main role.

After all, Zaragoza, with him as the main force, is currently ranked 19th, but Chinatown is ranked eighth.

The day after announcing the introduction of Ander Herrera, Chinatown once again officially announced that it would introduce frontcourt attacker Kevin De Bruyne from the Belgian team Genk for a transfer fee of 3 million euros.

This 18-year-old youngster made his debut in the Belgian League for Genk last season. He has played the main role in the team this season, performed well and is highly regarded. Pochettino hopes to use him to improve the team's performance. Frontcourt attack power.

After announcing the introduction of two players one after another, Chinatown announced another signing at the last moment before the transfer market closed.

This time, two players were introduced from South America in one go. One was attacking midfielder James Rodriguez from Banfield of the Argentine League, and the other was Robert Rob from Figueirense, the second-tier league in Brazil. To Firmino.

The former is Banfield's main force. Banfield was able to win the first Argentine Mecha League championship in the club's history thanks to James Rodriguez's key goal against Newell's Old Boys. He became famous in one fell swoop, and the Argentinian newspaper Ole even compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo.

As for Roberto Firmino, he is just a nobody. He is only known to be an offensive player and has no other information.

Both players were negotiated by Jorge Mendes in South America, and the total transfer fee was around three million euros.

Selling Falcao and Ramirez for 90 million euros, and bringing in Ander Herrera, De Bruyne, James Rodriguez and Firmino for less than a year. Ten million euros, leaving 80 million euros in transfer income.

Spanish media reporters have begun to speculate. Javier Matayana, deputy editor of Marca, even revealed in a column that Chinatown is actively preparing to build a new stadium.
