Chapter 742: Cradle of Youth Training

"Oh my God, this is Beijing?"

As soon as he got off the plane at Beijing Capital Airport and got into the car arranged by the hotel to pick him up, Paul Futrey was surprised all the way, because what he saw in front of him was completely different from what he had seen the last time he came to Beijing.

"It's been a long time since you've been to Beijing, sir. The hotel driver spoke fluent English and said with a smile.

"Seven or eight years. Paul Futtre reminisced.

The last time he came to Beijing, it was when Gao Han was still coaching Atletico Madrid, he came with Hill Jr. and Cerezo, and the three persuaded Gao Han to continue to coach Atletico Madrid's first team.

Oh yes, it was supposed to be 2001.

Eight years have passed.

It's not a short time, but it's still shocking to Paul Futrre, because the other big cities in Europe, Madrid, Milan, Munich, and even Paris and London, haven't changed much from eight years ago.

But along the way, Beijing has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"You China is developing too fast. Paul Futre praised.

The driver also nodded proudly and concentrated on driving.

Paul Futtre turned his head to look at the club's president, Karddoun Al Mubarak, who was sitting next to him, and the representative of the Abu Dhabi consortium was now serious and looked preoccupied.

"Don't be nervous, Caldun. Paul Futrey smiled and comforted.

After hearing this, Mubarak shook his head and said: "Before getting on the plane, the big boss personally called to inquire about this matter, and he attached great importance to it and asked us to invite him to Manchester City no matter what." ”

Paul Futrey knows best about the determination of big boss Mansour.

From the moment he bought Manchester City, he has always laid it out and built it around the highest standards.

In his exact words, Manchester City wants to gather the best and best players, have the best coaches, play the best results, and bring the fans the most beautiful football.

But everyone knows how hard it is.

If nothing else, take the Premier League.

Everyone knows that Abramovich was able to succeed in one fell swoop after acquiring Chelsea, and a big reason is that he invited Gao Han to the Premier League, and Gao Han introduced and cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for Chelsea, such as Terry, Lampard, Makelele and others, so that Chelsea has been used to this day.

After the high temperature, Chelsea invested heavily every year, but with little success.

With the boom of the European football transfer market in the past few years, the value of players is also rising, and it is already very difficult to build a team into a strong team, even if you burn more money, it may not work.

Look at how much money Chelsea has burned in recent years, not to mention the failure to hit the Champions League, and even the league championship has been burned.

In particular, last season, the Blues were discredited by the sacking of Rijkaard, and they are still struggling with a new manager so far this season, and it is said that they are interested in bringing Jose Mourinho back to coach.

Therefore, after the acquisition of Manchester City, Mansour once asked Kesh Harris, a well-known football investment expert in London, to do a survey and statistics, believing that Gao Han is the most surprising head coach in today's football with the most surprising ratio of input and output, and he never looks away.

Therefore, even if he is the most valuable and most amazing salary manager in football right now, he is still the most valuable manager.

"The transfer market alone, and the commercial value he brings to the table, is worth at least £200 million, not to mention his consistent success and his appeal to all the players in the world. ”

This report by Kesh Harris has made the entire Manchester City management extremely determined to lock Gao Han from the beginning, and even a year ago, they have been starting to plan, once Gao Han leaves Bayern Munich, they will not hesitate to start.

A few days ago, Gao Han's La Liga promotion team China City team was successfully promoted, which caused the world to be shocked, and then he attended the opening ceremony of the new stadium of Atletico Madrid.

According to reliable information obtained by Paul Futré, Gao Han also communicated with the mayor of Madrid and a number of important officials of the district government after the ceremony, revealing the intention of the Chinatown team to build a new stadium once the time is ripe in the future, and has received strong support from the district government.

However, the construction of a new stadium is costly and protracted, and it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Also at the opening ceremony of the new Atletico Madrid stadium, Gao Han once again reiterated his identity and position as a fan of Atletico Madrid in an interview with a number of Spanish media reporters, saying that he would not consider coaching Real Madrid.

This undoubtedly gives Manchester City a very positive signal.

Everyone knows that the most fierce pursuit of Gao Han in the entire European football world is Manchester City and Real Madrid, and Juventus is barely one, but Gao Han rejected Real Madrid, so it is naturally unlikely to go to Juventus.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Paul Futre decided to go to Madrid to negotiate with Gao Han as soon as he heard the news, but he didn't expect that Gao Han returned to China the next day after attending the opening ceremony of the new stadium of Atletico Madrid.

It's the summer transfer window, and City still have a lot of work on hand, with Paul Futrey and Mubarak keen to catch up with China as soon as possible, but have to stay for a few days due to the work at hand.

But in the past few days, Gao Han has once again made a big news in China.

It turned out that his Chinatown Youth Training Center in Beijing was finally fully completed, and the second phase of the Talent Day Selection Summer Camp was opened.

On that day, not only the important figures of the entire Chinese football world gathered, but also reporters from major media across the country and even around the world, and even the prime minister was accompanied by city leaders to attend the scene and deliver a speech.

"Visiting the EU at the end of May to watch the Champions League final in person made me feel the charm of football, which is the number one sport in the world and has an amazing impact on the world. ”

"We have to admit that the level of football in our country is not high enough, and there is still a big distance from developed countries, but we must not only recognize our own gaps and shortcomings, but also not be arrogant. ”

"During my visit to Europe, many EU leaders and European leaders mentioned Gao Han to me, which made me very proud, because we have the best head coach in the world, and we have achieved great achievements in Europe that the whole world looks up to, but what touched me even more was what Gao Han said to me. ”

He said that if you add up the population of the entire European football powerhouse, it is not as good as China, we have a population of 1.3 billion, and as long as we are determined, we will be able to cultivate more and better football talents than them, and even our league can become the top professional league in the world. ”

"He explained his ideas and train of thought to me, and I agreed. ”

"We have indeed encountered problems in the development of football in China, there is a lot of resistance to reform, and our fans have reacted strongly, but we need more people like Gao Han to stand up and work hard and try for our football development. ”

"Finally, I sincerely hope that the Chinatown Youth Training Center can become the cradle of our future Chinese football talents, and Gao Han can cultivate the first world footballer for us in China. ”

The premier's remarks have reverberated in China and around the world, and have made it clear that the government will begin to focus on the development of professional football.

As the world's third largest economy and the most populous country in the world, this has undoubtedly attracted huge attention all over the world, and it has formed a major earthquake in European football, which has become the focus of attention of countless professional football players.

And Gao Han once again stood on the cusp of public opinion.

…………

…………

After going to the hotel and dropping off their luggage, Paul Futrey and Mubarak didn't have time to rest, so the hotel arranged a special car to send them to the Chinatown Youth Training Center in Daxing District, the southern suburbs.

During the summer camp activities, the youth training center was full of traffic inside and outside, and the flow of people was like weaving, which made Paul Futrey and the two of them stunned, and they felt that Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

How could there be so many people?

Jorge Mendes, who has been staying in China for some time, personally went out to greet them and brought them directly to the summer camp site, where they saw Gao Han training with a group of young players on the field, laughter on the field, and parents and fans outside the stadium were also very energetic.

Such a scene is rare even in the United Kingdom.

It wasn't until near the end of training that Mendes took them to Gao Han's office.

But they waited for nearly half an hour before the cold was too late.

"I'm sorry, Paul, I'm late, I've kept you waiting. As soon as Gao Han entered the door, he apologized apologetically, with a helpless face.

"You know how verbose those two guys are Carlos and Sergio. ”

Paul Futrey kept waving his hand to indicate that it was okay, and was a little surprised, "Are they here too?"

"Here, one is the technical director of the Madrid China City team, and the youth training center is also part of his responsibilities, and the other is to come and build the data analysis system. Gao Han replied with a smile.

"Well, call them and have dinner together in the evening. Paul Futre laughed.

Is there anything more pleasing to people than to meet their old acquaintances in a foreign land?

What's more, the Portuguese know better than anyone that these two are Gao Han's right-hand men, especially Sergio Garcia, who has always followed Gao Han, and no matter how many teams want to dig him, they can't dig him out.

"I'm telling you, Paul, wait a minute, there's a football game around the age of twelve, you go and see, I've dug up at least five treasures this year, and as long as I cultivate it well, I will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the first team of the four major leagues in the future. ”

"Really, fake?" Paul Futrey was dumbfounded, five?

"Why am I lying to you?" Gao Han looked very excited, "This year, our summer camp has attracted school-age teenagers from all over the country to participate, and many of them have even flown from the southern provinces, and I still think it's a bit less." ”

Paul Futrey is a little staggered, if it is true, then the potential of Chinese football is really big enough.

"Oh, by the way, I'll introduce you. Paul Futre immediately pointed to Mubarak next to him, "This is the president of our Manchester City club, Karduon Al Mubarak. ”

"Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Takahan. ”

Mubarak is the first time to see Gao Han himself, although he is used to seeing big scenes, but in the end it is about his own interests, he is still a little restrained, but Gao Han gives him a very strange feeling, it does not look like the image of a successful person conveyed to him in the media and TV, but a bit like an avid fan.

This is very much in line with what Paul Futrey told him before, it is not difficult to convince Gao Han.

But not only Mubarak, but even Paul Futrey did not expect that Gao Han would give them a generous gift as soon as they met.
