Chapter 1095: It's Not What It Used To Be
When Chinatown's two contract renewals and Hazard's sky-high annual salary renewals caused an uproar around the world, Gao Han returned to China after dealing with many European affairs and took his family to the Middle East for a vacation out of his own pocket.
Even in mid-June, in the first qualifier of the World Cup, China's away game against Bhutan, Gao Han did not go to the scene to watch the game, but watched the game live on TV in Dubai.
After the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, the national team coach Perrin seemed to be downplaying the impact of Gao Han on the team, intentionally or unintentionally, and there was no communication and contact with Gao Han before and after this game, even if it was a phone call or a text message.
Gao Han respected this, and didn't even go to the scene to watch the battle in person.
According to the information obtained by Gao Han, some contradictions have begun to be exposed between Peilan and the Football Association in the past six months, especially in the selection of training venues, Peilan strongly requested that the training location be arranged in Kunming, but the Football Association took into account altitude sickness and hoped to arrange it in other cities, but in the end Peilan won.
However, before the game, some media and professionals revealed that there was indeed a problem with the national football team's Kunming training camp.
In the away game against Bhutan in mid-June, the national football team did suffer from altitude sickness.
In the face of such a fish-belly team, China performed extremely badly in the first half, not only with frequent passing and receiving errors, but also with the players in a very bad state, and they failed to score goals for a long time.
It was not until stoppage time in the first half that striker Yang Xu scored a goal for the team.
After that, in the second half, Chinatown barely played its form, scoring one after another, and beat Bhutan 6-0 away.
Gao Han posted a comment on Weibo after the game, considering that it was the first game of the World Preliminaries, he thought the result was acceptable, but the process of the game exposed many problems, and even the performance of the players was not as good as during the Asian Cup.
In Weibo's commentary, Gao Han reminded everyone in the national team that although there are many away factors in the game, the mentality is obviously also a big problem, and I hope the national team and the Football Association can pay attention to it.
Gao Han's Weibo quickly attracted the attention of domestic fans and the media, and after digging deeper, everyone suddenly discovered that during the Asian Cup, the Football Association had seconded two sports psychology experts from Chinatown to accompany the team, but this time there was no such arrangement in the World Cup qualifiers.
In this regard, a spokesman for the Football Association said that the reason why this is the case is because the Football Association is considering hiring experts for a long time to be in charge of the national team full-time, but some media have dug up the inside story and believe that it is a joint decision of Peilan and the Football Association not to continue to secondment Chinatown psychological experts.
Gao Han was also too lazy to take care of this, and concentrated on vacationing in the Middle East.

After playing the first round of World Cup qualifiers, the national football team was disbanded and returned to the league, and the next training camp will be for the East Asian Cup in August, this time China is the host, and the game will be held in Wuhan.
In mid-June, the Copa America was also in full swing in Chile.
Chinatown does not have many South American internationals, only Danilo, Alex Sandro and striker Roberto Firmino have entered the Brazilian national team, so Gao Han did not pay much attention to this event, and Chinatown only arranged for the chief scout to visit Chile.
Thanks to his outstanding performance in China City, Danilo beat Barcelona's Alves to serve as the main right-back of the Brazilian national team, and Firmino also played the main role in the attack, only Alex Sandro does not have the ability to challenge Marcelo's main position for the time being.
And it is precisely with the outstanding performances of Firmino, Neymar, Coutinho, Danilo and Marcelo and other internationals that the Brazilian team won consecutive games in the group stage and entered the knockout stage with three consecutive wins.
After that, they defeated Paraguay in the quarterfinals to reach the semi-finals.
But this time, in the face of Argentina led by Messi, Brazil finally lost 1-2 and missed the final.
Argentina's situation was not much better, reaching the final and drawing 0-0 with hosts Chile, and finally losing 4-1 to Chile on penalties and missing out on the title.
In the end, Danilo and Firmino made the best team for this Copa America.
The outstanding performances of the two Brazilian internationals in the Copa America and their performances in China Town over the past two seasons have brought them to the attention of many European giants.
Barcelona has included Danilo in the assessment list of Alves' successors from the beginning, and after successfully defending the Champions League in Chinatown, Barcelona is even more determined to win Danilo, and the club's president Rosell has announced that he will take Danilo at all costs to fill the vacancy on the right side of the team.
In addition to Barcelona, Manchester United have always had a soft spot on the right flank, and Pochettino is also hoping to bring in Danilo to succeed Croatian veteran Dario Srna, and not only that, but he also has his sights on strikers Roberto Firmino and Antoine Griezmann, who he believes can greatly improve Manchester United's attack.
The British Sun, which has always been known for digging insider revelations, vowed that Pochettino will attack the two former favorites this summer, and Manchester United has also set a transfer budget of up to 200 million pounds for Pochettino, hoping to complete the team's metabolism as soon as possible and help the team get out of the trough.
In June, Manchester United announced the signing of Schweinsteiger Pig from Bayern Munich for 15 million euros, which is also seen as the first step in Pochettino's transformation of Manchester United.
But even if Manchester United has a large transfer budget, it is not easy to win the players of Chinatown.
Antoine Griezmann has been a favorite in the transfer market this year, and has been favored by Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City, especially Barcelona, hoping to poach Griezmann and form a front trident with Suarez and Messi.
Although Firmino is not as favoured as Antoine Griezmann, he has also attracted the attention of a number of teams including Liverpool, Chelsea and Inter Milan, and is equally popular as a versatile midfielder.
Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain originally coveted Hazard in Chinatown, especially Paris Saint-Germain, after sending Neymar away, intended to introduce Hazard to fill the vacancy of the team's superstar, and the French team newspaper even said that Nasser was willing to pay 200 million euros for Hazard.
But Chinatown cut through the mess quickly, and immediately renewed Hazard with an annual salary of 10 million after signing two blockbuster contracts in succession.
Manchester City's top priority this summer is to keep manager Carlo Ancelotti, with the move more focused on the two wings.
During Carlo Ancelotti's tenure, City's style of play shifted from a back three to a more balanced back four, with Zabaleta always on the right flank, but the Argentinian was clearly unable to meet City's demands and bringing in Danilo became one of the options.
Left-back Alex Sandro has also attracted the attention of Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid, although in the Brazilian national team, Alex Sandro is behind Marcelo, but his performance in China City is quite outstanding, and Danilo is known as the devil's wings, and is the team's wing attacking weapon.
However, according to the British Guardian, Manchester City's number one target this summer is Chinatown's main midfielder Elijah Ramendi.
Xavi Alonso is already old, Michael Johnson, who was favored by the cold in the past, has not been in the country much in recent years, and has stagnated under Carlo Ancelotti, Manchester City are interested in poaching Ilya Ramendi to succeed Xavi Alonso.
Also salivating over Iljaramendi is Real Madrid, who are hampered by a weak waist and also want to bring in the homegrown midfielder, because Ilia Ramendi is not only excellent in passing and organising, and is known as Xavi Alonso II, but in fact, his role in the defensive end is also quite good, and all statistics are among the best in La Liga.
Midfielders such as Isco, Paul Pogba and Kevin De Bruyne have also been poached by major clubs, but Chinatown is no longer what it used to be, and after renewing Hazard's contract, the team solemnly announced the start of a new round of contract extensions, which will ensure that the core players remain in the team to the greatest extent.
Of course, Armando Marcos is still firmly committed to the minimum salary structure of the club that must not exceed 45% of the club's financial income, and strives to maintain the team's financial health.

When the summer transfer market in Europe was surging, Gao Han also returned to China from the Middle East after his vacation.
After returning to China, he went directly south to Guangzhou to attend the unveiling ceremony of the Talent Day selection event at the Guangzhou Chinatown Youth Training Center.
This means that the second youth training center in China will be officially opened this summer, and will begin to recruit school-age children into the youth training center to receive the most formal football training and cultural courses, not only that, but the fifth Chinatown Youth Football Invitational Tournament will also be held in the new youth training center in Guangzhou, which will be broadcast live by many domestic and foreign TV stations.
The governments of Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City also sent representatives to attend, the leaders of the General Administration of Sports and the chairman of the Football Association also attended the scene and delivered speeches, and Gao Han also solemnly promised everyone that the Guangzhou Chinatown Youth Training Center, like Beijing, is built in accordance with the most advanced youth training standards in Europe.
"So far, we have confirmed to invest in seven Chinatown youth training centers in China, and we will open one per year in the next five years. ”
As for many media reports, whether the speed can be accelerated, Gao Han is to explain.
"We're not just thinking about construction, we also need to think about the development of the youth coaching team, as well as the training of the club's staff and management staff, which will take time, and with our current capacity, we can start one a year very quickly. ”
Gao Han also emphasized once again that the principle of the Chinatown Youth Training Center is to focus on quality over quantity, and will not blindly expand, but will only continue to proceed in an orderly manner according to the original plan.
Regarding the loss that many media are worried about, Gao Han smiled and said that he was not worried.
"With the current value of domestic players, we can't lose anything anyway. Gao Han smiled confidently.
In fact, Chinatown is indeed negotiating cooperation with domestic clubs, after all, some youth seedlings who cannot gain a foothold in the European league, the domestic league will be their best way out.
Regarding the recent faint calls for Gao Han to take over the national team, Gao Han said that he had no consideration in this regard, he believed that Perrin coached well, and during his time in Guangzhou, he did not have any discussions with the leaders of the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association.
Gao Han's personal sitting, so that the Guangzhou Chinatown Youth Training Center's talent day selection, attracted thousands of school-age children from all over the world to participate, Gao Han is also hands-on, with the power of the eyes of the fire, for Guangzhou Chinatown carefully selected youth seedlings.
In the subsequent invitational tournament, Beijing Chinatown won the championship in both age groups, which once again aroused the appreciation of domestic fans.
After the invitational competition, Gao Han set off from Beijing with the teenagers of the age of fifteen or sixteen.
