Gao Han is well aware of the current situation in Chinatown.

To put it bluntly, a Champions League title has changed everyone's expectations of Chinatown.

It's more exciting than winning a La Liga title, and it's more exciting to see Chinatown perform.

If in the past, everyone still felt that Chinatown lacked the temperament of a weak and strong team, then now Chinatown has filled this weakness and deficiency, and with the overall strength and situation of the current team, it is entirely possible to continue to move forward.

And the pressure of all decision-making fell on Gao Han's shoulders.

Gao Han also felt the gaze of everyone around him, and he was also aware of the burden on his shoulders, so he turned his head and looked at Zidane, who was sitting under Cantarero, but never said a word.

"What do you think?"

Zidane felt Gao Han's gaze and nodded slightly, "As long as the lineup is maintained neatly and the excellent results of last season are continued, I dare not guarantee it, but at least the team's performance will not be worse than last season." ”

The Champions League winner, this is something that can be met but not sought, and no one dares to guarantee it.

But judging from Zidane's response, he is still quite confident in the top four in La Liga.

It is not difficult to understand that Chinatown is characterized by its youthfulness and is known as the youth guard of La Liga, and the young players will become stronger with the growth and accumulation of games, which in turn will lead to the improvement of the strength of the whole team.

Gao Han is the most aware of this, after the tempering of last season, the overall strength of Chinatown's main players has basically entered the European first-line players, including Hazard, Isco, Verratti and other main players, but also has the atmosphere of top stars, especially Hazard.

Players like Griezmann, Jesus, Firmino, Morata, Dybala, Pogba and other players are improving very quickly, which leads to a lot of competitive pressure within the team, except for goalkeeper De Gea, and left-back Moreno is relatively difficult to shake Alex Sandro's main position, there are at least two players in each other position in fierce competition.

Up front, for example, Roberto Firmino was impressive, but Alvaro Morata scored the fatal winner in the Champions League final, Jesus provided an assist and Dybala scored in all competitions, all three of whom will put pressure on Firmino.

Not to mention the midfield, Pogba, Koke, De Bruyne and other players are qualified to challenge the main team, Denis Suarez has also performed, plus Kovacic on loan at Dinamo Zagreb, Saul of the youth team, Chinatown can be described as full of talent in this position.

Gao Han himself has to admit that this group of talented rookies in the China City team, pick out one at random, even if it is to other giant teams, it is definitely the object of key cultivation.

"If Godin moves to Atletico Madrid, do you think our central defenders need to be reinforced?" Gao Han asked with concern.

Atletico Madrid's salivation over Godin is not a matter of a day or two, and in central defence, Raphael Varane, De Vrij, Marquinhos and Umtiti are all young players to be trusted and nurtured.

Zidane obviously also understands what Gao Han means, Godin's contract has not expired, but the renewal of the contract with the club is a bit problematic, mainly because Atletico Madrid offers a higher salary than Chinatown.

This is also a very normal thing in the transfer market.

However, it is not easy for Atletico Madrid to poach Godin, and the release fee of 50 million euros has not been run.

It is said that according to the meaning of Hill Jr., Godin and Sanchez are the key targets of Atletico Madrid's introduction this summer, plus the strengthening of other positions, it is hoped that the transfer investment can be controlled at about 150 million euros this summer.

It will also be the most expensive season in Atletico Madrid's history.

But it is not difficult to see from this that Atletico Madrid has completed the upgrade from a quasi-strong team to a La Liga giant.

At the very least, the Sheets Army already has enough financial resources and confidence to compete with European giants.

"I think Raphael Varane will be the best centre-back in Europe in the future, and the other three players are also very good in quality and potential, so as long as these four players stay, I don't have a problem with whether Godin is sold or not. Zidane said.

His words basically decided Godin's transfer.

'Last season we reached the top but that's nowhere near our limit, I believe we have enough quality to deal with all the opponents and there is still a huge potential that hasn't been fully exploited, so we shouldn't stop there, we should look at the long term. ”

When Gao Han said this, he deliberately paused and looked at the people present.

I don't know when more and more high-level people participated in this level of meeting, which means that Chinatown is becoming more and more professional and has more and more atmosphere of a giant team.

This made Gao Han feel a burst of pride in his heart for no reason.

"I want to say that any team will inevitably have a slight slippage after reaching a certain height, which is something that everyone in our team must pay attention to, and the appropriate transfer is undoubtedly a big stimulus within the team, whether it is sold or brought in, it is a necessary metabolism. ”

Everyone also understood what Gao Han meant.

If the club never brings in and sells, the squad will be a stagnant pool, and it will be nothing in a year or two, but once the time goes by, the players will easily get tired and slack, and the team's results will plummet.

And the most likely thing that happens is after a team has won a big honour, such as the Champions League.

Gao Han's meaning is very clear, this summer Chinatown is still focused on maintaining the overall strength of the team, but it does not rule out buying and selling.

Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the overall strength of the team, the transfer will definitely be controlled within a small range.

For example, the central defender sold a Godin, and the backline basically stopped moving.

…………

…………

Once the tone for this summer's transfers was set, all departments began to have a direction and the topic of the meeting began to shift, falling to the overall situation of La Liga next season.

In the past season, with the reform of broadcasting rights, the income of all the twenty La Liga teams except Barcelona and Real Madrid has skyrocketed, especially the championship-winning Atletico Madrid, which is why Hill Jr. was able to come up with so much transfer budget and have the confidence to call the European giants.

But there are also some teams that have all kinds of problems, and the first ones are the middle and lower teams.

With the strong rise of Chinatown, La Liga has seen a pattern of competing for the best, the influence of the league is rising, and many small teams in the middle and lower reaches are still suffering in the quagmire of operation, but foreign capital with a keen sense of smell sees room for profit.

For example, Valencia, because of the preparation for the construction of a new stadium and the club's poor management, which led to financial problems, was entrusted by the listed bank Bankia, and the international authoritative accounting firm KPMG was responsible for the sale.

The situation is better for the Bat Legion in the end of La Liga, but the situation of Getafe, which is located in the southern suburbs of Madrid with Chinatown, is not ideal.

As early as April 2011, the Royal Dubai Group announced that it would inject 90 million euros into Getafe and intend to buy Getafe outright, but in June 12, the middleman of the acquisition, Juan Ola, was arrested by the police in Barcelona, and everyone found out that he was nothing more than the leader of a fraud ring.

The takeover scandal has cost Getafe a lot of face, and the club has suffered a lot of losses.

Coincidentally, at the beginning of the year, Indian billionaire Ahshan Saeed planned to buy Racing Santander for 36 million euros, but as a result, in addition to paying 2 million euros, there was no follow-up at all, and Saeed also disappeared from the world.

Even the Al Thani consortium, which had made a lot of noise about the acquisition of Malaga, has not invested a penny at all in recent years, except for the 85 million euros it invested at the beginning.

The reason why La Liga teams have been deceived repeatedly is not only that the government is trapped in the European debt crisis and vigorously welcomes foreign investment into Spain, but also that the club's management is not professional enough.

For example, Santander Athletic, Saeed has repeatedly cheated in the UK before acquiring Santander, and has been exposed by the British media, and he is also a wanted criminal in Australia and Bahrain, but these are not taken seriously by Racing Santander.

There is also Getafe, President Torres visited Dubai in a year, but there was no citation at all, just met with Juan Ola and a guy pretending to be a chief, and he couldn't wait to disclose it to the media, and it turned out that Juan Ola had a long criminal record and was not the sheikh of Dubai at all.

Regarding the current situation of La Liga, Armando Marcos said that La Liga professional leagues are paying attention to it and will take on more responsibilities to maintain the stability and development of the league.

But judging from the current situation, the big four teams are far ahead, and the pattern of Valencia, Sevilla, Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao and other teams in the middle will not be broken, especially the big four teams, the lead is too obvious.

Whether it is the overall strength of the team, the strong financial resources of the club, or the management mechanism, it is obviously more standardized and professional than other teams in La Liga, and it is also the goal of all other Spanish professional teams.

Especially Chinatown.

For such a league situation, Gao Han was not surprised at all.

A professional league is like a pyramid, league to league and team to team in the same league.

Originally, La Liga was a two-man club, then the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and now it is a four-strong competition, which undoubtedly means that the competition in La Liga is becoming more and more fierce, and the league is becoming more and more beautiful, which will drive the development of the league and the spread of influence.

After this three-year broadcast contract, the bidding price for the next three-year broadcast contract is estimated to be higher.

In addition to the league situation, Gao Han also specifically mentioned the 4th Chinatown Youth Football Invitational Tournament.

Unlike in the past, this time in addition to the fifteen or sixteen age group, there will also be a thirteen or fourteen year old competition.

In other words, this year's invitational tournament will be split into two, and the purpose is also to give more training to the young players in the team, especially against Beijing Chinatown.

One of the important reasons why Chinatown has such confidence is that Armando Marcos has brought a lot of sponsorship to the invitational tournament to ensure that although the cup has expanded in scale, it will not increase the investment pressure of Chinatown.

After all, after the first three editions, this invitational tournament has gradually entered the attention of the mainstream media and fans around the world.

Especially within China.
