Chapter 589: Escape from Chelsea

If you want to ask, who has been the most interesting focus in European football throughout mid-to-late June?

In addition to the well-deserved alpine, it must be Arjan Robben. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Dutch winger, known for his explosiveness and speed, has always been hailed as Gao Han's favorite player, and he shined under Gao Han back then, becoming a star on the left side and winning the amazement of the entire European football world.

But since last season, rumours about Robben's transfer have been in full swing.

Previously, Real Madrid President Calderón listed three major goals for all members when he was running, namely Kaka, Robben and Fabregas, but as a result, a year after being elected, none of these three players came.

Because of this, Robben has always been associated with Real Madrid.

In the second half of the Premier League last season, Robben gradually lost his main position due to injury, especially in the Champions League knockout round, and the starting position was replaced by the teenager Kalou, which directly led to the media to hype Robben's departure rumors more hard.

In the summer, Chelsea saw off manager Jose Mourinho and welcomed new manager Rijkaard, who welcomed his fellow Dutchman and wanted Arjen Robben to stay in the team, and Chelsea made it clear that they wanted to renew his contract.

This could have stopped the suspicions of the outside world in time, but in fact, the renewal negotiations have not been carried out for a long time.

On the contrary, the news of Robben joining Real Madrid has been constantly exposed.

For a while, the entire European football world seemed to have concluded that Robben would be another superstar introduced by Real Madrid this summer, and even many Real Madrid fans began to look forward to the scene of the Dutchman flying at the Bernabeu.

It was in this atmosphere that Gao Han finally finished his personal affairs, left Beijing, and returned to Europe.

But his first stop was a bit of a surprise.

…………

…………

Groningen, Netherlands.

Coming to pick up Robben's father, Hans, who was also Robben's agent.

And with Gao Han, in addition to his wife Lin Xia, there is also Jorge Mendes, who is also one of Robben's agents.

The two sat in Hans's car and went to the hotel they had prepared in advance, talking and laughing along the way, and the main topic was inseparable from Robben's wedding tomorrow.

Yes, he's getting married.

The object is his classmate in high school, Gao Han has met many times, and the two have been in love for seven years.

Sometimes when I think about it, Gao Han is quite embarrassed.

He still remembers that when he first met Robben, he was a fledgling teenager, but now that he is an adult and is about to get married, he has to sigh that time has flown by.

But his hand involuntarily clenched Lin Xia harder.

"Mr. Gao Han, Arjan is very happy to know that you are coming, and originally planned to come to the airport to pick you up in person, but you know, he is very busy today, so I came. Hans drove in front of him and laughed.

"I can understand, Hans. Gao Han smiled.

Being able to see his beloved apprentice get married with his own eyes is also a great joy for Gao Han.

"Still, I hope you can talk to him. ”

"What's wrong?"

Hans stopped talking, and Gao Han, who was sitting in the back row, noticed something.

'He's not in a good mood right now, if it wasn't for the fact that the wedding date was booked, I'm afraid he's not in the mood to get married right now, you know, he's not happy with where he was last season, especially in the Champions League. ”

As early as the Champions League final, Gao Han noticed Robben's displeasure, because he was not injured or sick in that game, but he was arranged as a substitute by Mourinho, and instead reused Kalou, which is definitely unacceptable to Robben.

Of course, from Mourinho's point of view, he chose Kalou probably to strengthen the defensive pressing in the frontcourt, but it is indeed too extravagant to put a player like Robben on the bench.

In addition to the game, Mourinho's attitude also made Robben very unhappy, because he has publicly attacked Robben in the hope that he can be more responsible, but you also know that the real reason for Robben's frequent injuries is the unreasonable competition within the Chelsea team and the poor treatment of Chelsea. ”

Robben often calls Gao Han, complains to Gao Han, and occasionally asks Gao Han's opinion, so Gao Han still knows better, and the main reason is Mourinho's employment methods.

The professional league is very realistic and brutal, and Mourinho's management methods are also very realistic.

When the players are doing well, Mourinho will be very open-minded, and even have some appropriate accommodation, and the cooperation between the players and the manager will be very harmonious, and there will even be a scene of mentorship and apprenticeship.

Arjen Robben was like that in the early days of Jose Mourinho's tenure, so he was so impressive that he was almost the number one star in the Chelsea squad.

But when Robben started to get injured more often, Mourinho's attitude towards him changed.

Or it should be said that it was only after Robben's frequent injuries affected his continued performance and form that he really realized the reality of Mourinho's management of the dressing room, that is, his attitude towards players who could not help the team was too cold, even to Robben.

Soon, the relationship between Robben and Mourinho fell from the original master-apprentice relationship to the freezing point, and it was at this time that the outside world began to hype the news that Robben was going to transfer to Real Madrid, and the media's sense of smell was quite keen.

A lot of things happened later, such as Robben was forced to play by Mourinho after several injuries before he recovered, and even once the team doctor personally took Robben to the manager's dressing room to oppose it, but it could not change Mourinho's decision.

Robben himself experienced the difference in the attitude of the manager before and after, and for a young man in his early twenties, his greatest desire was to regain the trust of the manager and return to the starting line-up, so he dragged his body back to the game again and again, regardless of the consequences.

In the end, Robben's injuries were frequent and his state was up and down, and in the second half of last season, he was even put on the bench by Mourinho, which directly led to the rupture of the relationship between the two and prompted Robben to have the idea of escaping Stamford Bridge.

Also as a head coach, Gao Han can understand Mourinho's thoughts, because professional football is so cruel, the relationship between the manager and the players is like this, and the manager must be strong, otherwise, he will be eaten alive by the players in the locker room and don't know how he died.

This happens every month of the year in European football.

What's more, Mourinho himself is also under a lot of pressure.

To put it bluntly, everything depends on grades.

But Gao Han can also understand Robben's choice not to renew his contract and want to leave.

Because for him, he can no longer feel dependent on Chelsea and leaving is the best solution.

Sometimes, there are some things where there is no absolute right and wrong, right and wrong.

…………

…………

In the end, the man who wants to get married!

When Gao Han arrived at the hotel, Robben was wearing a silver-white gown, standing in front of the mirror, posing, and the bride, Bonadien Erriel, was also standing in a pure white wedding dress.

The two are golden boys and girls, and they look very compatible.

"Boss. ”

As soon as he saw Gao Han enter the door, Van der Sar immediately greeted him.

This time, Robben invited more than 100 relatives and friends, but not a single Chelsea person, except for his national team friend Van der Sar.

"Hey, Edwin. Gao Han smiled and hugged Van der Sar.

He really couldn't understand why Robben, an attacking player as young, would have such a good relationship with a bad old man in his thirties?

But sometimes things are just that weird.

As soon as Gao Han appeared, everyone at the scene immediately looked at him, although there were no media reporters present, but they were basically fans, and they had long been familiar with Gao Han's name, and they were all honored to be able to see the real person with their own eyes.

Robben also took his fiancée's hand and walked over to meet Gao Han.

Gao Han and Lin Xia also gave them a precious congratulatory gift in accordance with traditional Chinese customs.

It can be seen that Robben was very happy to see Gao Han, quickly tried on the dress, and after checking the process of tomorrow's wedding with the master of ceremonies, he immediately ran out and drank afternoon tea with Gao Han, Hans, Mendes and Van der Sar in the hotel restaurant.

Lin Xia was entertained by the bride Ariel.

And the conversation happened to talk about Van der Sar's transfer.

"Are you really going to Manchester United?" Mendes was surprised.

Van der Sar is old, almost thirty-seven years old, and he still changes jobs, isn't this a bit too much?

But Van der Sar nodded very seriously and said: "It's decided, Chelsea today is no longer the Chelsea of the past, whether it is the atmosphere in the team or the team's style of play, even I can't stand it." ”

Gao Han swept it with his eyes, Van der Sar's condition is quite good, and judging from last season's Champions League final, he is still Van der Sar, and his level is still the top in Europe.

No wonder the Ferguson guy was able to watch it.

"What do you think, Boss?" Van der Sar asked sincerely.

For Gao Han, he has always had an inexplicable trust.

It was Alf, who brought him from Fulham to Chelsea at his lowest point and helped him reach the top in one fell swoop.

'I don't have a problem, I've spoken to Alex Ferguson a few times and as he told you, he's really interested in tweaking Manchester United's tactics over the years and I'm sure you'll have better prospects at Manchester United. ”

As the so-called son of heaven and courtier, Van der Sar and Robben were both introduced in the cold period, and they were not taken seriously during the Mourinho period, and Abramovich even had the idea of cleaning them up, and now that Rijkaard has come to power, he will definitely bring a group of his own players, and their situation will be even more embarrassing.

Rather than that, it's better to just leave.

As the saying goes, the tree dies, and the person lives.

As long as you have the strength, are you afraid that you won't be able to get along in European football?

"Jorge, then you can help me talk to Manchester United. Van der Sar looked at Mendes.

It can be seen that he has been making this decision for a long time.

Mendez nodded in agreement.

Although Van der Sar is almost 37 years old, since Ferguson can see it and personally poach the players, he must try to get reasonable benefits for the players, which may be the last contract of Van der Sar's career.

After Robben heard it, he looked at his father again, and then looked back at Gao Han, and said: "Boss, I have also decided to leave Chelsea, I want to go to Real Madrid." ”

Looking at his expression, he also thought about it for a long time before he made this decision.

But after Gao Han heard this, he blurted out and shook his head: "No!"
