Super Marshal

Under a heavy rain, Manchester entered July. X

Gao Han arrived at Manchester Airport in secret, got into the reception car directly from the tarmac, and left quietly.

The whole process is as secret as being a thief.

It was not until he left the range of Manchester Airport that Paul Footley, who was sitting next to Gao Han, heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter?" Gao Han was puzzled.

"You don't know, now the waiting hall is full of reporters and fans. They are all standing there waiting for you to show up. Once you appear, you don't even have the opportunity to turn around and escape. You will definitely be surrounded by them." Paul Futrey said for the rest of his life.

The enthusiasm of England fans, Alpine is well known, but it has created a new problem.

His itinerary is confidential, except for himself, all the people who know that he is flying on this flight add up to three people.

His wife Lin Xia is currently staying at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel in Manchester, which is the most luxurious top hotel in Manchester. Manchester City has long-term contracted the hotel’s luxurious presidential suite for Alpine, which costs nearly 1,000 pounds a night.

Another is the agent Jorge Mendes, who called Gao Han in Milan last night, and he is still in Italy.

The remaining one is Paul Footley in front of him. Gao Han informed him of his own flight last night and asked him to arrange someone to pick him up.

"How did they know that I was on this flight?" Gao Han deliberately stared at Paul Footley with malicious eyes.

The general manager of Portugal spread his hands and almost cried. "I swear, after receiving your call, I have never told anyone other than Mubarak, except... him."

Paul Footley reached out his hand to the driver who was driving in front.

The driver was startled immediately, his hands shook, and the steering wheel almost lost control. "Mr. Footley, you only told me when you were on the road, and I have been with you all the time. How could I inform the media reporter?"

"I didn't talk about you." Paul Footley soothed the driver, turned his head, and looked at Gao Han with a smile on his face, "Yes, you see, it must not be a secret that I disclosed. Besides, you don't know how powerful the British media is. , Knowing that you are coming sooner or later, to find out your flight information, is it difficult?"

When I heard Gao Han, there was really no difficulty.

The reason why British media reporters are difficult to deal with is their pervasiveness. They can almost find the information they want in a completely unexpected way. It's just a piece of flight information, and it's simple.

"So, don't play with them, they are professional." Paul Footley saw Gao Han's gloomy look, and felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and laughed at him.

"What about the hotel?" Gao Han asked with concern.

Lin Xia and Xiao Gaoshen lived there, and there was absolutely no room for loss, not even a ten thousandth.

"Don't worry, I have communicated with the hotel. Their security is no problem. The Radisson Edward Hotel has received countless domestic and foreign politicians and has rich experience. Moreover, the hotel is very close to Chinatown, which is convenient for you to go out."

Gao Han was only slightly relieved, but he still told Paul Futre.

When Lin Xia was looking for a house in Aldley Edge before, he called Gao Han, and Gao Han explained at that time that everything else is not important, but the surrounding law and order must be good, and the security of the villa must also be upgraded.

After having children, he also paid special attention to these aspects.

"By the way, you said earlier that Chelsea are going to poach Daniel Sturridge, what's the matter?"

Daniel Sturridge, who will be twenty years old soon, is a native Manchester City youth player. He played 16 times last season, dedicated four goals and three assists. He is the best young player in the Manchester City team, but he is also Therefore, it has received the attention of many other teams in the Premier League, including Chelsea.

But this matter is troublesome because Sturridge's contract expires this summer, that is to say, he can leave as a free transfer, and Manchester City can only get a youth training compensation at most.

Because according to regulations, Sturridge is under the age of twenty-four and cannot freely transfer and leave the team in accordance with the Bosman Act.

"What the club means is, depending on your thoughts, if you want to keep him, then we will do our best to fight Chelsea, and it is best for you to come forward to keep Sturridge, I believe he should not refuse ."

Paul Futre believes that no young player in this world can refuse to stay from Alpine.

"Of course, if you are not interested, then we also plan to fight Chelsea, and we can't let the players leave the team."

This has nothing to do with feelings, it's just that no one wants to lose their interests for no reason, so it's an income of one or two million pounds.

Since the acquisition of Manchester City by the former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Blue Moon’s youth training has produced almost no output. Now among the young people who can gain a foothold in the first team, striker Sturridge is one of them, and the midfielder also has a gem of Michael Johnson , These two youth academies are both highly valued by Gao Han.

"I will call Sturridge." Gao Han said.

After listening to Paul Footley, he also understood what Gao Han meant, and Sturridge was in his plan.

According to Alpine's fiery eyes, Sturridge's potential is as high as one hundred and seventy-five. He is fast and has a fine footwork. It is also Manchester City's local youth training. It is a pity that such players do not stay for their own use.

"In addition, this is my preliminary list of players. For the first team in the new season, I plan to reduce the lineup to 25 people. There are too many players now, and there is no need for many players to stay in the first team."

Paul Footley was a little surprised.

You know, there are 37 players in Manchester City's first team and the promoted youth players.

Moreover, according to the club’s plan, this summer will definitely be a lot of signings, especially a few superstars, the club will have to clean at least a dozen or even 20 people this summer.

This is simply a bloodbath.

However, this is not surprising at all, because Alpine has his own coaching ideas, and the criteria for investigating players are based on the Premier League championship level. The previous Manchester City were only ranked in the middle and the requirements were much lower than Alpine.

After Paul Futre took over the list of players from Alpine, he really found a long list of players. Many young players were sent back to the second team, including Bellamy, Bodinov, and Wright Phillips. , Goalkeeper Shay, De Jong, who are considered small famous players in the Premier League and Europe, have been listed for sale.

However, several players were retained by Alpine, some of which surprised Paul Footley.

For example, young goalkeeper Johart, Croatian defender Korluka, two full-backs Sabaletta and Bridge, Irish midfielder Stephen Ireland, Brazilian midfielder Elano, wide player Petrov, and loanees Futton's Brazilian striker Jo.

Especially if Paul Footley originally thought that Alpine would clean him, but he didn't expect it to be used.

This player was recommended by the famous agent Horabchin from Russia to Manchester City last summer. At the time, the head coach Mark Hughes admired him. It took nearly 20 million Euros to dig him to Manchester City. In half a year, he was only awarded. After he played nine times and scored a goal, he went to Everton on loan during the winter break.

On the contrary, at Everton, if he played twelve times and scored five goals, he performed well, and Moyes has always wanted to continue on loan.

Now it seems that Gao Han is going to be used by himself.

…………

After returning to the city from Manchester Airport all the way, Gao Han and Paul Footley went straight to the city stadium where the club headquarters are located.

The driver drove the car into the internal parking lot, and Paul Footley led Gao Han directly to the meeting room on the second floor of the office.

At this time, the core high-level officials, including Chairman Mubarak, have been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome to Manchester City, Mr. Gao Han." Mubarak stood up excitedly when he saw Gao Han and greeted him.

The heads of other departments also got up to greet each other, and Gao Han, who said that he was not sociable, was a little flattered and couldn't help but thank him, especially when he saw Rudolf Borelli, he hugged with a smile.

Gao Han and he worked as colleagues in Barcelona for a period of time, but they did not have the slightest overlap at the time. It was not until after Gao Han made a good name in Madrid that he met Rudolf Borelli at a meeting in the coaching circle. Worked as a colleague in Manchester City.

As an assistant coach of the first team, Brian Kidd was originally not allowed to attend such a high-level management meeting, but he was not familiar with many things when he first arrived in the cold, so Paul Footley and Mubarak invited him to participate in an exception.

In response to Gao Han's request, Manchester City will not hold any welcome ceremony for him, and even the signing of the contract will not hold a press conference, but the joining of many stars, including Kaka, will have a grand debut ceremony.

For this, Paul Footley is already preparing for it.

"Ok, first of all, I am here to represent Manchester City, and I am very grateful to Mr. Gao Han for being here to coach."

Club President Mubarak is the convener of this meeting, and this is the first high-level meeting of the new season. It is also the first time that Gao Han has participated as a head coach. All departments attach great importance to it.

"Mr. Mansour is also very pleased with the arrival of Mr. Gao Han. He heard that we are going to have a meeting this morning. He specifically pushed down several important meetings and activities. He hopes to discuss with us about the new season of Manchester City in the form of video. development of."

With that said, Mubarak immediately contacted Mansour in Abu Dhabi through the computer and showed him on the big screen in the conference room, so that everyone could clearly see the big picture behind the club. boss.

"Hello, I am very glad to see you on this occasion, Mr. Gao Han." Mansour smiled and greeted Gao Han as soon as he appeared.

Everyone could see that among the people present, the person he valued most was Gao Han.

With an annual salary of 50 million pounds after tax, this is the highest price in the history of professional football, even those superstars can't get it.

"Me too, Mr. Mansour, I haven't had the opportunity to thank you in person for your gift~www.readwn.com~ Gao Han smiled.

"You're welcome." Mansour is obviously in a good mood.

"I have heard Calduin talk about things in Italy. Fortunately, you can come forward in time so that we can successfully persuade Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo to join."

"You are polite, Mr. Mansour."

"Paul, transfer negotiations must hurry up. I know that Mr. Gao Han has always attached great importance to pre-season preparations. You must reach an agreement with Inter Milan as soon as possible."

Paul Footley nodded, "Okay, I know, Mr. Mansour."

In the video, Mansour smiled with satisfaction and was able to invite two superstars, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, to join. This is not only the most important transfer this summer, but it will also give Manchester City a huge influence. Brand promotion will reach an amazing height.

"Mr. Gao Han, I want to talk to you about something."

Gao Han nodded, "Please speak." rw
