Million!

Or the euro!

When the news from the Italian media reached China, it immediately caused a huge repercussion in the country.

No one thought that the Chinese Super League, which has never been a big spender of money and robbing people from abroad, would be able to sell at such an astonishing price, which is 40 million euros!

Not only are the domestic football circles and fan circles boiling, but even all walks of life are paying attention to this transfer.

Soon deeper details came from abroad, allowing everyone to see the whole process of this transfer clearly.

It turned out that it was the world's number one agent Jorge Mendes who personally ran the transfer, and it was precisely because of his shrewd calculations and excellent operational ability, coupled with the clever cooperation of Chinatown, that Juventus finally accepted the sky-high price.

Gao Han also specially accepted an interview with an authoritative TV station to analyze the back of this transfer.

"Augusto's 40 million euro transfer to Juventus, is this transfer expensive?"

The answer is clear, it's expensive, but it's not expensive. ”

"Why?"

"The transfer market is a market economy, and the price is determined by supply and demand, and the situation in Serie A has not been good in recent years, but Inter Milan and Juventus have taken the opportunity to sit big, and the annual Champions League prize pool, which belongs to the Italian team, is nearly 90 million euros, and most of it is divided by these two teams. ”

"It can be said that Serie A as a whole is very poor, but Juventus and Inter Milan are very rich, they have money on hand, but no one, they need high-level players, but they have a lot of money and they find that high-level midfielders in European football have been extremely scarce in recent years, to what extent?"

"Before Augusto, Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and Liverpool were all interested in Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, who is very young, only 22 years old, but Monaco rejected an offer of 60 million euros from a Premier League side who has yet to play for the national team. ”

"I give this example just to tell all the fans, all the peers, that we should not be arrogant, but we should not be arrogant, and 40 million euros to buy a Brazilian midfielder who has performed at a very high level throughout 2016 is not shocking in the European transfer market. ”

Perhaps, the only surprise is that the popular Brazilian international comes from the Chinese Super League. ”

For Augusto's transfer, Gao Han believes that it is very instructive, proving that the competitiveness of the Chinese Super League is not so weak.

"More importantly, I feel like it shows us the way. ”

"Augusto's transfer to Juventus represents the official integration of the Chinese professional league with other mainstream leagues in the world, the so-called market is in and out, and we have always blindly relied on burning money to bring in players from the outside world, but in fact, I think we can also send our players to the outside world appropriately. ”

"We did two deals this summer, one was Augusto's transfer to Juventus, everyone knows it, but in fact, we also sent Yilmaz back to Turkey for a transfer fee of 10 million euros, which is higher than when he joined, and with Yilmaz's transfer fee, we brought in three young foreign players: Richarlison, Artur and Lucas Verissimo. ”

"And I position Beijing Chinatown as a springboard to the European giants. ”

Gao Han's interview on TV not only sparked heated discussions among fans, but also caused discussions in all walks of life.

The authoritative party newspaper spoke highly of Augusto's transfer, believing that it would be a milestone event in the development of China's professional league, and the world's top operation team introduced by Beijing Chinatown also allowed everyone to see the role of the heroes behind the scenes.

It is not easy to run such a transfer deal, it is necessary to see Juventus' talent seeker clearly, but also to weigh Juventus's money bags, but also to be able to accurately grasp the general trend in the transfer market, and finally to operate smartly.

As for Gao Han's final remark, he hopes to use Beijing Chinatown as a springboard for wealthy families, and authoritative party newspapers also praised this positioning.

Augusto is the best example of this.

Judging from the three foreign players introduced by Beijing Chinatown, they are all very young and potential players, and after a little carving, I believe that it will not be difficult to land in the top European leagues in the future and sell them at a good price.

This is also the trajectory of the rise of Chinatown in La Liga that year.

Strong youth training and talent training, excellent scouting system, these have made Chinatown once reduced to a star factory for giant teams, poached by opponents every year, but the result is more and more powerful, and finally even achieved three consecutive Champions League titles.

The sale of eight core players this summer in exchange for a transfer fee of one billion euros is unprecedented in the history of European professional leagues, but even so, Chinatown is still ranked at the top of La Liga, most of them hovering in the second and third positions, and also introduced another coach after Pochettino and Zidane, Valverde.

The authoritative party newspaper finally concluded, calling on the domestic football industry to consider Gao Han's suggestion, it is not okay to blindly burn money like crazy, there will always be an end, the European league can attract hot money from all over the world to gather, and can make global fans pay for them, but the Chinese Super League cannot.

In this case, finding the most suitable way to survive as soon as possible and accurately finding your position in the world football market is undoubtedly the biggest test for the Chinese Super League team in the future.

The answer given by Beijing Chinatown is to tap the potential of newcomers, but what about other teams?

Compared with the strong discussion caused by Augusto's sky-high transfer, another incident mentioned by Gao Han in an interview with an authoritative TV station did not attract the attention of the outside media and fans, but it caused a riot between the Football Association, the Chinese Super League team and the capital.

That is, Gao Han called for the postponement of the China Cup Invitational Tournament, or even its cancellation.

At that time, in the show, Gao Han only said a word, and did not talk deeply, but he still made people in the industry pay attention.

The controversy about the China Cup Invitational Tournament has been a matter of controversy for a long time, and since the tournament was scheduled for January, it has caused discussions and even protests in the industry.

The reason is very simple, January is the most critical pre-match preparation period for the Chinese Super League team, and at this time, it is not necessary to say much about the significance of sending international players to play such a cup competition, but the losses caused by the club are very clear.

This is true not only of the national football team, but also of the opponents of the game.

As a person who has coached in the European League for more than ten years, Gao Han knows very well that in January, the European League is in the critical winter break training period, and the Premier League is the most intensive stage of the schedule, and it is impossible for any team to allow international players to participate in national team competitions at this time.

It is also impossible for the national team to force the return of the international players due to the absence of an international break.

Not to mention the European League, even if it is their home team, I am afraid it will be difficult for the national team to draw international players to play an invitational tournament in China, so it is self-evident how high the gold content of such an event is.

The three teams invited this time are Croatia, Iceland and Chile, the teams are all strong teams, in line with Gao Han's previous requirements, but the opponents are all running for money, and even when Gao Han called Modric and Kovacic and Sanchez to understand the situation, they did not even receive a call-up to the national team.

This is obvious, the other party has only one goal from the beginning, to make money.

With Gao Han's status and influence today, even if it is just a casual sentence, it can cause heated discussions across the country.

After hearing the voice of the outside world, Gao Han also quickly clarified on Weibo, saying that he recognized the good intentions of the capital party to operate such an event, and also cherished the opportunity to have such an international competition at his doorstep, but the time was really not suitable.

Gao Han also said that many Chinese Super League teams have just assembled, and some have not even started winter training.

In response to the appeal from Gao Han, the Football Association quickly reacted, saying that it was seriously studying and considering Gao Han's proposal.

The attitude of the investor is relatively bad, as soon as he came up, he questioned, saying that he had worked hard for two years, and had been preparing for this event for the past six months, and even the provinces and cities where the event was located had done their best to cooperate and invested huge resources.

Although he did not name names, the spearhead was undoubtedly directed at Gao Han.

Gao Han's reply was as gentle as ever, and he didn't have the slightest intention of clashing with the other party.

He first apologized, saying that he did not think about it, but he did not humble himself and said that he was only the head coach of the national team and was only responsible for the national team, and he had not received the news until recently about the specific operation of the tournament and the selection of the participating teams.

"Over the past month, I've responded to these questions several times, but none of them have been answered. ”

"As a manager, my responsibility is to bring the national team, to bring the international players, no matter what the game, we will give it our all, but I will never allow players who are not capable of playing in my team. ”

The implication is that even if the national team is forced to participate, Gao Han will only recruit some players from the second team, or even the third and fourth teams.

Gao Han's arguments have won the support of all international players, and even many Chinese Super League teams and football figures have praised him.

Others may not know how important pre-season training is to a team and a player, but Gao Han knows it very well.

Pre-season training doesn't just affect the start of the league, it should be the first half of the season, or even the whole season, and that's true for the team and the players.

This is also the reason why Gao Han always likes to complete the transfer before the training camp when he coaches European teams in the past, and the La Liga Chinatown and Beijing Chinatown where he can be the master have also completed the transfer early, leaving enough time for the team and coaching staff to train and prepare.

Just imagine, if in this case, for an invitational tournament with low gold content, the elite of each team is transferred, even if it is only for a few days, but it will completely disrupt the preparation plans of each team, and it is needless to say how big the impact is.

Gao Han's position was also quickly recognized by domestic fans and public opinion, and many people who were afraid to speak out at this time also stood up and spoke, believing that the schedule of the invitational tournament should indeed be reconsidered.

The Football Association was also under pressure and quickly came forward to say that it was indeed unprofessional for the Football Association to agree to participate in the competition without considering the schedule, and that it would make every effort to communicate and coordinate and strive for a proper solution.

The investor also quickly came forward to clarify, saying that there was absolutely no intention to question Gao Han, and at the same time, the organizer also seriously considered Gao Han's suggestion and is currently communicating and coordinating with all parties.

At the end of December, the investor finally issued a statement saying that the invitational tournament would be postponed.

But just when the Chinese Super League team, the international players and the national team were all overjoyed, thinking that Gao Han had won another victory, Gao Han was not happy at all.

Because he knows that many things have not changed, and this kind of unprofessional trouble will come one after another in the future.
