Gao Han met with Tamim in the VIP conference room of the Hilton Hotel in Beijing.

The whole meeting was not long, Tamim took a special plane from Doha, Qatar to Beijing in the morning, met with Gao Han, had lunch, and flew back to Doha in the evening, and did not really stay in Beijing for much time.

Gao Han met with him, and didn't talk about anything else, just exchanged ideas about the direction of Paris Saint-Germain's development.

Tamim told Gao Han that he didn't care about money, and what he wanted was for Paris Saint-Germain to become one of the strongest teams in Europe in the shortest possible time, and he could even do it at any cost to do so.

Gao Han told Tamim that he was confident that he could restore PSG's former glory in a short period of time, but he believed that the most important thing PSG should do was to strive to build an efficient management system and a sustainable management mode.

No one wants to be wronged, so Tamim made it clear that everything at PSG is centered on the cold, and he even has the power to dispatch and remove all members of the club except for president Nasser Halaifi.

There is basically nothing to say on both sides, or it should be said that before the meeting, Jorge Mendes and Nasser Halaifi and Blanco had met many times and talked about everything that should be said and should be discussed.

Tamim visited Beijing to show his commitment to the high cold, along with club president Nasser Halaifi, general manager Blanco, technical director Antero Enrique, and assistant coach Makelele, who has just taken over the team.

The French defender left Chelsea with Paris Saint-Germain and retired this summer, and considering his familiarity with French football, as well as his status as a former lover of Alpine, and Makelele himself considering a transition into a coach, it was decided to appoint him as an assistant coach to assist Alf.

The gathering of the core management of Paris Saint-Germain in Beijing shows that they attach great importance to the cold.

In terms of contracts, Mendes has asked the company's legal counsel to negotiate with the consultants of the Paris Saint-Germain team to draw up the contract as soon as possible, while Gao Han has only one requirement, he does not hold a task other than the head coach.

Mendes also specially explained the reason to Paris Saint-Germain, that is, considering that Chinatown has also entered the Champions League, if it is unfortunate that Chinatown is relegated from the Champions League group stage to the Europa League, it will be in the same league as Paris Saint-Germain, and if Gao Han holds an important position, there will definitely be a conflict of interest.

Paris Saint-Germain doesn't mind this, but it's just a false name, with the prestige and status of Gao Han, plus Tamim's attention, is there a position in the body, is there a difference?

After basically negotiating all the details, Nasser Al-Halaifi also set off for his return at noon the next day, first to report to Qatar, and then to return to Paris, France, to preside over the overall situation.

General manager Blanco and technical director Antro Enrique stayed in Beijing to further negotiate and negotiate with Gao Han on the transfer operation of the team this summer, starting with the reorganization of the existing squad.

Last season, Paris Saint-Germain did not play well in Ligue 1, only finishing fourth, and the squad was seriously aging, with as many as 10 veterans over the age of 30, the oldest of which was goalkeeper Kupe, who was already 39 years old.

After learning more about the team's situation with Makelele, Gao Han decided to restructure the existing squad.

He knows very well that with the current squad of Paris Saint-Germain, he simply cannot support Tamim's ambition.

What's more, even if he doesn't plan to bring in reinforcements, it is estimated that Tamim and Nasser Halaifi will force him to bring in reinforcements, otherwise, where will Paris Saint-Germain get the attention and influence?

In the current team, what really makes Gao Han more important is the young player Mamadou Sako on the central defender, and the veteran right winger on the front line, Jiuli, the former has potential, and the latter is still old and strong, as for players such as Kezman and Nene, they are not Gao Han's dishes, so a big purge is inevitable.

For this, general manager Blanco and technical director Enrique, as well as assistant coach Makelele, have long been mentally prepared, even if the head coach is not Gao Han, this purge is inevitable.

As the saying goes, if you don't break or stand, if you don't clear this group of redundant players in the team, how can you build a competitive team?

As for the team's recruitment......

Gao Han looked at Jorge Mendez, who was sitting on the side, raised his eyebrows, and smiled slightly.

"Let's get moving!"

…………

…………

When Gao Han was discussing in Beijing how to purge the veterans and redundant players in the Paris Saint-Germain team, as far away as London, England, there was a veteran who was facing the fate of being purged by the team, and he felt hesitant.

Didier Drogba, thirty-three, nicknamed Warcraft.

When Portuguese Andre Villas Villas Villas arrived at Stamford Bridge with the Europa League, Portuguese Super League and Portuguese Cup, he made it clear in his first press conference that he would rejuvenate the squad and completely change the way the team plays.

'We have to get rid of the ageing trend as soon as possible and I want to try something new at Stamford Bridge. ”

At the age of 33, the second-youngest champion coach in the history of European football, second only to Gao Han, who led Atletico Madrid to win the UEFA Cup, and to be able to return to Stamford Bridge, where Mourinho once served as an assistant coach, Boas can be said to have returned home, which also makes him full of spirit and ambition.

But it also sounded the alarm for a group of veterans in the team.

Drogba, Malouda, Frank Lampard, Terry, Ashley Cole, Ferreira......

Chelsea have plenty of veterans in the squad, with Villas-Boas coming to Stamford Bridge with a treble-winning aura and signing a three-year contract, and it was clear how much management valued him, while Roman Abramovich announced early on that he would be looking to rebuild aggressively this season.

So where do these veterans go?

Drogba has felt a strong threat since arriving at Falcao, and at first he was able to push the Colombian to play as a regular player, but then it turned into a rotation, and last season, he began to use Falcao as a substitute.

Chelsea brought in Romelu Lukaku, a Belgian centre-forward nicknamed the Little Monster, from Anderlecht in the summer.

The implication is already obvious, Lukaku's arrival will further challenge Drogba's position within the team, and he may not even be a substitute in the new season, so what's the point of staying in the team?

Marseille, the Ligue 1 side he once played, have been in contact with him for some time, but Chelsea's price tag is as high as 20 million euros, which is still negotiable, but for Marseille it has far exceeded their expectations.

The high price of 20 million euros for a 33-year-old veteran is unbelievable.

What's more, Drogba's weekly salary is as high as 130,000 euros, which Marseille cannot afford.

Can you stay with the team?

Do you have to endure loneliness and serve as a substitute among substitutes?

Sometimes, Drogba even preferred Villas-Boas and assistant coach Roberto Di Matteo to be cruel to him, telling him to his face that he was not in the club's plan at all, that he would face the end of being sold and purged, and then sent to the transfer market, so that he would at least not be as passive as he is now.

But since Villas-Boas officially became the team's head coach, he hasn't even spoken to Drogba in private.

For this old friend, Drogba's perception is that things are getting worse.

While he was still playing in France, Villas-Boas also worked as an assistant to Jose Mourinho in Porto, where he often came to France to watch him play and later helped Mourinho bring him to Chelsea, and the relationship between the two has always been quite good, but now, Villas-Boas is the team's manager, and he has become a redundant who could be purged.

Such a gap makes Drogba inevitably resentful.

At least, if the feelings are real, then why can't they be honest with each other?

Just as Drogba was depressed and walking around his yard, the cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.

Caller ID: Gao Han.

This made Drogba's hand gripping the phone tremble visibly.

Gao Han is a manager he respects very much, when he was still playing in Ligue 1, he already knew Gao Han, at that time Gao Han gave him a lot of encouragement and advice, but unfortunately, when he came to Chelsea, Gao Han fell out with the management and left, which has always been his regret.

But why did he call at this time?

Drogba was confused, but immediately answered the phone.

"Hi there, Didier. ”

"Hello, Mr. Gao Han, I'm glad to receive your call. ”

Gao Han on the other side of the phone paused and said with a smile: "Listening to your tone, it seems that my intelligence is correct." ”

"What?" Drogba didn't understand.

'Have you ever thought about leaving Chelsea?' Gao Han asked.

Drogba was stunned for a moment, and a team immediately came to mind, "Go to Chinatown?"

It is rumored throughout European football that Michu is likely to leave Chinatown, but at this time, Gao Han called, and Drogba had no reason not to speculate in this direction.

"Chinatown?" Gao Han was a little surprised, but quickly laughed at himself: "That's not good, your annual salary is too high, we can't afford it at all, and we will go bankrupt at that time." ”

Drogba laughed, but soon understood, "You really want to coach Paris Saint-Germain?"

This is also a big unresolved rumor in European football, the French media spread the nose and eye, the whole country is crazy with joy, countless French fans are like a holiday, especially Paris Saint-Germain fans.

"It's almost time to sign. Gao Han didn't hide it.

Drogba is thrilled and plays for Gao Han, which is a good thing that many professional players dream of?

"But...... Mr. Gao Han, I'm thirty-three years old, and I'm going to play the Africa Cup of Nations in January. ”

"I know. Gao Han nodded, "But a veteran has the role of a veteran, I have always said that you are a very smart player, very adaptable, I firmly believe that even if you are old and your physical function has declined, you are still a formidable monster, it depends on how to use it." ”

When Gao Han's words came on the phone, Drogba's nose was sore, and tears almost fell.

In fact, until now, it is Gao Han who understands him best.

"Come to Paris, let's win a Champions League together!" Gao Han invited.

Drogba's hand holding the phone even protruded, and his heart turned over with a huge wave, but he was thirty-three years old, and he quickly suppressed the frenzy in his heart and took a deep breath.

"Okay, I can play for you, with or without the Champions League, I have no regrets in my career!" Drogba said sincerely.
