Chapter 426: Mysterious Witness
"Our management is looking at whether Zaccheroni is still fit to stay in the team. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Face to face with Gao Han, sitting in the gazebo in the garden, drinking tea, Moratti took the initiative to talk about the situation at Inter Milan.
The Nerazzurri are facing serious problems, not only the lack of competitiveness in the squad, but also the internal contradictions.
Therefore, Moratti came to the door with great sincerity this time.
"I asked you if you would like to take over Inter Milan, but you couldn't let go of Chelsea, so you turned me down, but now that you're free, my sincerity hasn't changed at all. ”
Speaking of this, Moratti smiled modestly, "I won't say anything superfluous, I'll just say one thing, as long as you come to Inter Milan, I will listen to you for everything!"
Gao Han was very moved when he heard this, this is the third time he has been invited in person, right?
Especially now, he has just suffered a setback from Chelsea, and there is a crusader against him outside, at this time Moratti came to the door to say this, which really moved him very much, and he really wanted to agree on the spot.
If a person dies for a confidant, this should be the case.
But in his mind, he was still calmly reminding him not to do this for the time being.
The timing is not right!
"Massimo, thank you very much for thinking so much of me, but you also know where I'm going, they're slandering me so much, if I'm coaching Inter Milan at this time, it's not right for you or for me. ”
Gao Han's worries, Moratti also understood, "You know, I don't care. ”
Compared with inviting Gao Han to coach, he didn't pay attention to such pressure and accusations at all.
What's more, he believed from beginning to end that Gao Han was not such a person.
Anyone with a little familiarity and in-depth knowledge of European professional football can easily pick up the news, and who would believe such nonsense?
What is Gao Han's character, who doesn't know?
But in the face of Moratti's trust, Gao Han still shook his head.
"That's just one of the reasons, I've had a hard time in the past four years, I'm so tired, I want to take a good break, and ......"
As he said this, Gao Han turned his head and looked at the garden with a smile.
Deep in the garden, Lin Xia was sitting on a swing chair with her legs crossed, reading a book in the soft sunlight.
“…… I'm getting married!"
"Married?" Moratti's eyes widened, a little surprised, followed by a burst of joy.
It was only now that he noticed that Gao Han was too young, not yet thirty years old, and he hadn't even married yet.
"It was decided some time ago. Gao Han said with a smile.
According to his plan, he planned to rest for a while, wait for the turmoil to pass, rehabilitate Zhaoxue, and then get married, but his parents and Lin Xia's parents had a heartfelt matter, and then took Lin Xia to travel for a honeymoon, recharge his batteries, and then start again.
He believes that by calming down and studying, he will make himself go further.
Now that the matter has been talked about, Moratti also knows that it will be difficult for him to change Gao Han's decision, so he retreats and asks Gao Han how long he plans to rest this time.
"A year. Gao Han thought for a moment and replied.
According to the law of European football, it is reasonable to take a season off.
Moratti thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll come back in a year, and you won't refuse me again at that time, right?"
Gao Han looked at Moratti deeply, and then nodded: "Okay, if you still want me to coach Inter Milan in a year, then I will promise you." ”
"It's a deal. ”
"It's a deal. ”
After the two talked, they talked about some other things.
Gao Han was a little hesitant at first, but eventually made his own suggestion.
"I heard that Inter Milan are interested in trading Cannavaro for Juventus' Carini?"
In the face of the high cold, Moratti did not hide it at all, nodded and said: "Yes, after Cannavaro came to the team, his performance has not been particularly ideal, especially after the injury, whether it is Cooper or Zaccheroni, they are not very satisfied with him, and the team is in the goalkeeper position, Toldo is old, and he needs a goalkeeper to fill his gaps." ”
Gao Han understands that whether it is Seedorf for Koko, or Cannavaro for Carini, they all take what they need.
But the problem is that such a deal is clearly losing money.
"Cannavaro is a rare central defender in Italian football, known for his bravery, and his best skills are to attack and defend around the front, which is quite a rare advantage among Italian defenders who have always been known for their stability. ”
Moratti nodded, Gao Han's analysis was consistent with the advice given by the technical team when Inter Milan decided to bring in Cannavaro.
In a team, there is always a need to mix different elements.
Just like the Italian defence, it would not be reasonable if both centre-backs were known for their composure, because the lack of proper risk-taking would make the defence too regular and easy for opponents to exploit.
Therefore, some people say that the best center-back combination in Italy is the combination of Nesta and Cannavaro, the two are steady and fierce, and complement each other well, a bit like the combination of Carvalho's partner Marchena that Gao Han admired at Atletico Madrid.
"Injuries and age have meant Cannavaro has had to start transitioning, which takes time and team-mates, but he's still one of the top centre-backs in football today. ”
Moratti's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Gao Han's insight has been tested by countless facts, and it can almost be said that the players he has identified are full of gold, and he must not be wrong when he says that Cannavaro is one of the top central defenders.
But what about the vacancy in the goalkeeper?
Moratti naturally turned his gaze to Gao Han again, "Is there anything to introduce about the goalkeeper?"
Gao Han smiled bitterly, who said that Moratti was an honest person?
"I remember Mendes told me about a Brazilian goalkeeper who played for Flamengo and did really well and was selected for the Copa America in Brazil this time, called Julio Cesar, and you can arrange for someone to visit him. ”
Moratti immediately silently read the name in his mind several times, and only after remembering it did he leave contentedly.
…………
…………
While Gao Han was meeting Moratti in Madrid, far away in a nondescript café in downtown London, Guardian journalist Greene Wald sat in an inconspicuous corner, waiting for a mysterious witness to appear.
Suddenly, in the morning, a man claiming to be a Chelsea fan called him and told him the truth about Alpine's departure.
It is said that he witnessed the whole process of Gao Han's break with the Chelsea hierarchy.
Although the cold turmoil has gradually receded, Green Wald is convinced that there are still countless fans around the world waiting for the truth to come out, and whoever can reveal the truth will make a name for himself in the media circle.
What's more, regardless of whether Gao Han regards him as a friend or not, he has always believed that Gao Han is his friend anyway.
It is incumbent upon him to appeal for his wronged friend!
So, he came to the café earlier than the appointed time, asked for an inconspicuous corner, and waited for the man to appear.
The café came and went, in and out, every movement made Greene Wald look up at the door, but each time it disappointed him, and it wasn't until the young man in the cap appeared and walked straight towards him that he was sure he had finally arrived.
"Hello, Green Wald. ”
"Hello, my name is Michael. ”
It was an extremely common name, but he quickly pulled out a membership card.
'My family has always been a big Chelsea fan since my grandfather, I was born a Chelsea member and now I work for a travel agency specialising in welcoming visitors, one of the most important places being Stamford Bridge. ”
In addition to recording what the Chelsea fan was saying with a voice recorder, Greene Wald also carefully recorded every word of the whistleblower, as well as the look and tone of his voice as he spoke.
"That day, I happened to be visiting Stamford Bridge with the tour group and at first everything was going well, but Mr. Gao Han suddenly appeared, he was a very nice person, signed autographs and took pictures with all of us, you see, this is a picture at that time. ”
Michael pulled out some of the washed out photos and put them in front of Greene Wald.
Judging by the date and background on the photo, it is indeed the day Gao Han broke with Chelsea management, in the Hall of Honour at Stamford Bridge.
"Can you give me these pictures?" asked Greene Wald.
"Well, I still have negatives. Michael nodded.
After a pause, he took a deep breath and continued: "At first, I was hesitant, you know, I love Chelsea, especially under Mr. Gao Han, and I was very confused when something like this happened, I didn't know what to do, so I didn't come forward to speak. ”
Green Wald understands that this is something that is difficult for any football fan to choose.
'But my grandfather told me that Chelsea wouldn't do that to their heroes, he encouraged me to come forward and tell the truth, and all my family supported me, so I called you. Michael said with a solemn face.
Greene Wald's hand holding the pen trembled a little because he realized it was going to be big news.
"I still remember vividly that day, after Mr. Gao Han took a photo with us and signed it, he went to the conference room, he seemed to be in a good mood, and he kept greeting other people along the way and entered the conference room. ”
Greene Wald took notes carefully, looking up from time to time to observe the changes in the interviewer's expression.
Although he has not been in this business for a long time, he can see the inner struggle and contradiction of the person in front of him, but what he said does not seem to be a fake, at least, he does not seem to be lying.
"I was going to the bathroom, so I had to pass by the conference room, and you know, the Stamford Bridge facilities were a bit old and the soundproofing wasn't good, so the sound from inside was very easy to get outside, not just me, but the whole Stamford Bridge office. ”
"What did you hear?" asked Greene Wald, in a trembling voice.
Mr. Gao Han said that he likes money, but he must stick to his principles, he has made concessions to the management many times before, this time he will not back down for money, especially unwilling to be a pawn at the mercy of others, so he tore up the contract given by the management and announced the early termination of the contract. ”
When these words came out of Michael's mouth, all the mysteries in Greene Wald's mind were solved.
He had speculated before, but now, everything has been confirmed.
Gao Han didn't leave because of greed!
He's here to stick to his principles as a manager!
