Chapter 947 - Very Stupid and Naïve

After answering Wenger's call, Gao Han gently put down the phone in his hand and exhaled heavily.

It's time to come after all!

"Whose phone is it?" asked Sergio García, an old friend sitting across from him, curiously.

There are not many people who can make Gao Han answer a phone call, and his face will become solemn.

"Arsene Wenger. Gao Han replied.

Sergio Garcia is well aware of the current transfer format in European football, and immediately guessed it, "For Michu?"

"Hmm. Gao Han nodded, "Fifty million euros, they are willing to pay this termination fee." ”

"Fifty million euros?" Sergio Garcia was a little surprised, "Wenger is going to gamble." ”

Who's to say it isn't?

This is already the record of the highest transfer fee set by Arsene Wenger since taking charge of Arsenal, and it is completely different from the cost-effective reinforcements that Wenger has emphasized in the past, this time it is a huge investment in the operation of Michu, which shows Arsenal's determination.

But for Wenger's decision, Gao Han is not surprised.

After selling Van Persie, Nasri and Cesc Fabregas, Wenger has a transfer budget of 150 million euros, but the real investment in reinforcements is not much, the overall strength of the team has declined compared to before, if there is no high-level player in the forward line, then what awaits Wenger may be a lack of attacking power.

In the current environment of European football, Arsenal will have to invest more if they want to ensure the team's results.

Not only Arsenal, but also Chinatown this year.

Chinatown spent 10 million euros in order to bring in Godin, which is the highest transfer fee ever paid by Chinatown, and it was given to a central defender, why?

The reason is very simple, Otamendi and Alderweireld are leaving, and Chinatown is going to play in the Champions League in the new season, and it is impossible to rely on a group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old children to fight, although they have unlimited potential, but they lack experience, and they will only be ravaged by their opponents in the Champions League.

Miranda is very strong but not familiar with the Europa League, so bringing in Godin can ensure the solidity of the team's backline.

Of course, this transfer is also very risky, whether the center-back combination of Miranda and Godin can work depends on Pochettino's tuning skills, plus Varane and De Vrij's two youngsters, Chinatown's backline is not afraid of no use.

Such a recruitment plan is very much in line with Chinatown's goals for the new season, with the Champions League participating in the group stage and La Liga trying to maintain the top four.

The Premier League is playing a tougher and more competitive league than La Liga, and with other rivals all on a spree, Arsene Wenger's Gunners will struggle to stand alone, especially in the attacking position.

Losing the top four in the league would cost Arsenal tens of millions of euros.

Therefore, even if they do not bring in Michu, Arsenal will definitely bring in a high-level center forward who has proven himself in the four major leagues, and such a center forward is often not cheap.

It is said to be a big gamble, but in fact, Arsenal has no choice at all.

"Michu is 25 years old, as long as there are no injury problems, he can play for at least another five years, with his current quality, he can stand up completely at Arsenal, the Gunners don't need to worry about the front line for five years, I think this transfer deal is worth it. ”

Thanks to Gao Han's training system for Chinatown, Michu has made great progress in the team's year, especially after changing to a center forward, the role change is very smooth, and it is very comprehensive, with very high tactical value, spending 50 million euros for such a player, Arsenal does not suffer at all.

Especially in the current European transfer market.

Sergio Garcia still agrees with Gao Han's judgment, Wenger is from an economics background, and he must have made careful calculations before doing things, and he will buy Michu, so he must have his own set of considerations and ideas.

It's nothing more than a comparison of income and output.

"But what do we do now?" asked Sergio Garcia, worried.

The pre-season training camp in Chinatown is now coming to an end, and throughout the summer preparation and warm-up matches, Michu has performed quite well and is in good shape to prepare for the fourth round of qualification for the Champions League in August.

Unfortunately, Arsenal are also playing in the fourth qualifying round, so the Gunners are insisting on completing the transfer before qualifying.

"What can I do?" Gao Han raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "Inform Carlos and let him figure it out by himself." ”

In fact, Chinatown's technical team has already made a plan, no matter where the player in the team leaves, the team can bring in the right players to fill the vacancy in the team at the first time, and even if the head coach Pochettino leaves, Chinatown has the right person to fill the team.

The greatest significance of the existence of Carlos Cantarero, the technical director, is to ensure the stability of the team's overall tactical system framework, and to ensure that the team's competitiveness will not be affected by the departure of any player or manager.

In the past few years, Cantarero has done a good job in this position, and Gao Han is very relieved of him.

…………

…………

The cold is coming to France!

In a very short period of time, this news spread to every corner of the world.

Although Gao Han has been rumored to coach Paris Saint-Germain for a long time, when this moment really came, it still surprised everyone, and many people did not understand why Gao Han would choose to coach a local tyrant team like Paris Saint-Germain?

In addition to the headline on the front page of Gao Han's arrival in Paris, the French team newspaper also devoted two pages to the detailed relationship between Gao Han and Paris Saint-Germain, especially the Qatari consortium behind the Ligue 1 tycoon, which is not only the sponsor of the current chest advertisement in Chinatown, but also the title sponsor of the new stadium.

As a result, many media and fans have speculated that Gao Han's coaching of Paris Saint-Germain is because of this relationship.

Or it should be said that the Qatari consortium sponsors China City, hoping to invite Gao Han to coach, and Gao Han also reciprocated, after leaving Manchester City, coaching Paris Saint-Germain, by the way, completing his legendary journey of the Grand Slam of Europe's top five leagues.

On the contrary, Gao Han himself did not explain much about coaching Paris Saint-Germain.

On the second day, Paris Saint-Germain invited a number of well-connected media to hold a brief signing ceremony at the Parc des Princes, and the club officially appointed Gao Han as the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, and Gao Han explained his reason for coaching Paris Saint-Germain on the spot.

"Actually, there is no other reason than simply because I like novelty and adventure. ”

But Gao Han's somewhat joking explanation obviously failed to satisfy the media and fans, and many people began to explore the reason, and some even believed that Gao Han's coaching of Paris Saint-Germain was purely for money.

With an annual salary of 100 million euros after tax, plus a win-win bonus, Gao Han can earn a huge annual salary every year at Paris Saint-Germain.

So some media and reporters began to accuse Gao Han, thinking that he coached Paris Saint-Germain for money, too undisciplined, and he is not short of money at all, especially when the media revealed that Gao Han spent 10 million euros to buy a single-family mansion in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France, which caused dissatisfaction among many fans.

They all believe that a head coach like Gao Han should stay in the big four leagues, and even coach a giant, instead of going to a local tyrant team like Paris Saint-Germain for money, which is a kind of degeneration.

But just when the voice of questioning and criticizing Gao Han gradually rose, a piece of news from the Chinese media circle silenced everyone again, and the Beijing Chinatown Youth Training Center founded by Gao Han reached an agreement with the Guangzhou Municipal Government to build a second Chinatown Youth Training Center in Guangzhou, with an estimated investment of 500 million yuan.

Gao Han flew from Paris to Beijing to attend the signing ceremony and deliver a speech at the ceremony.

In addition to the Beijing and Guangzhou youth training centers, Chinatown also plans to build three new youth training centers in China in the future, with an estimated total investment of more than 2 billion yuan, hoping to help Chinese football improve its youth training strength and improve its football level.

At the same time, Gao Han also said that Chinatown will continue to increase the promotion of coach training, and will also cooperate with the General Administration of Sports and the Chinese Football Association to introduce a set of high-level referee training systems from abroad to further improve the professional level of domestic coaches, especially youth coaches, and improve the law enforcement ability of domestic referees.

"There is no doubt that there are still a lot of problems in Chinese football and the league, our football level is very low, and the domestic football atmosphere is at a low point, but I have always believed that China, a country with a population of 1.3 billion, can definitely do a good job in football, and we will definitely be able to cultivate our own superstars. ”

"It's easy to scold, it's very simple to shake the wit, but some things need someone to do in a down-to-earth manner, especially things like youth training, without persistent insistence on investment, without formulating its own youth training system according to China's special national conditions, it is impossible to succeed. ”

"Perhaps, it seems silly and naïve, but I don't mind being a naïve fool. ”

The news of Gao Han's preparation for the construction of a youth training center in China not only made domestic fans very excited, but also hoped that the youth training center in Chinatown could be a success, like Beijing Chinatown, to cultivate a group of outstanding young players for Chinese football, and even foreign media reporters and fans were shocked.

Two billion yuan, 200 million euros, this is almost Gao Han's contract annual salary at Paris Saint-Germain.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that this was the real reason why Gao Han coached Paris Saint-Germain.

Maybe Gao Han is indeed for money, but he doesn't make money for his own enjoyment, but hopes to invest the money in China's youth training career and strive to improve the football level of his motherland.

Isn't this also very common in European football for those who come from weak football countries?

As a result, Gao Han's image was not affected by the coaching of Paris Saint-Germain, but was further elevated by the media and fans around the world.

Regarding the rumors and hype from the outside world, Gao Han didn't pay attention to it at all.

With his current status, there is no need to mind any comments about him, and his focus is on PSG's tactical drills while preparing for the first round of Ligue 1 on August 6.

It will be Gao Han's first appearance at the Parc des Princes against Lorient.

But just when the French league was about to ignite the flames, the Sun, which has always been good at digging up fierce news, suddenly published explosive news.

Arsenal will bring in Spanish striker Michu from Chinatown for a record price of 50 million euros.

This news was quickly affirmed by a number of industry insiders, saying that the team has reached a consensus with Chinatown, and Michu will also arrive in London in the near future to undergo a medical examination with Arsenal.

But for all the fans who care about Chinatown, it's like a bolt from the blue.

Michu transferred to Arsenal?

What about Chinatown's forward line in the new season?
