Washed away by a heavy rain, Manchester entered July.

Gao Han secretly arrived at Manchester Airport, got into the reception car directly from the tarmac, and left quietly.

The whole process is as secret as if he were a thief.

It wasn't until he left the confines of Manchester Airport that Paul Futtrey, who was sitting next to Gao Han, breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" Gao Han wondered.

"You don't know, now the waiting hall is full of reporters and fans, they are all waiting for you to appear, as soon as you look up, you don't even have a chance to turn around and escape, you will definitely be surrounded by them. Paul Futrey said for the rest of his life.

The frenzy of England fans, Gao Han is well aware, but it has created a new problem.

His itinerary was kept secret, and apart from himself, there were only three people who knew that he was on this flight.

His wife, Lin Xia, currently lives at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel Manchester, which is the most luxurious top hotel in Manchester, and Manchester City has long-term chartered the luxurious presidential suite of the hotel for Gao Han, nearly a thousand pounds a night.

The other is the agent Jorge Mendes, who only called Gao Han in Milan last night, and is still in Italy.

The remaining one is Paul Futrey in front of him, Gao Han notified him of his flight last night and asked him to arrange someone to pick him up.

"How did they know I was on this flight?" Gao Han deliberately stared at Paul Futrey with malicious eyes.

The general manager of Portugal spread his hands and was so aggrieved that he almost cried, "I swear, after I received your call, I never told anyone but Mubarak, except for ...... He. ”

Paul Futtre stretched out his hand and pointed to the driver driving in front of him.

The driver was immediately startled, his hand shook, and the steering wheel almost lost control, "Mr. Futray, you also told me when you got on the road, and I have been with you all the time, how could it be that I told the media reporters?"

"Didn't say anything about you. Paul Futrey calmed the driver, turned his head, and looked at Gao Han with a hippie smile, "Yes, you see, it's definitely not a secret that I leaked, besides, you don't know how powerful the British media is, knowing that you will come sooner or later, and find out your flight information, is it difficult?"

When Gao Han heard it, it was really not difficult.

The reason why British media reporters are difficult is that they are so pervasive that they can find out the information they want in a way that you don't expect at all, just a flight information, easy.

"So, don't play with them, they're professional. When Paul Futrey saw Gao Han's depressed appearance, his heart was much more relaxed, and he laughed and amused him.

"What about the hotel?" asked Gao Han with concern.

There are Lin Xia and Xiao Gaoshen living there, and there is absolutely no room for loss, not even one in ten thousand.

"Don't worry, I've already communicated with the hotel, their security is fine, the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel has received countless domestic and foreign dignitaries, has a lot of experience, and the hotel is very close to Chinatown, so it's convenient for you to go out. ”

Gao Han was a little relieved, but he still told Paul Futrey again.

When Lin Xia was looking for a house in Aldelliech before, he called Gao Han, and Gao Han explained at that time that everything else was not important, but the surrounding security must be good, and the security of the villa must also be upgraded.

After having children, he also paid special attention to these aspects.

"By the way, you said earlier that Chelsea were going to poach Daniel Sturridge, what's going on?"

Daniel Sturridge, who will soon be 20 years old, is a homegrown Academy player who made 16 appearances last season, scoring four goals and providing three assists, and is the best young player in the Manchester City squad, but has also attracted the attention of many other teams in the Premier League, including Chelsea.

However, the trouble is that Sturridge's contract expires this summer, which means that he can leave on a free transfer, while City will only receive a youth compensation at best.

Because according to the regulations, Sturridge is under the age of 24 and cannot leave the team on a free transfer under the Boseman Act.

"What the club means is, depending on what you think, if you want to keep him, then we will do everything we can to fight Chelsea, and preferably you will come forward and keep Sturridge, I believe he should not refuse. ”

Paul Futrey believes that there is no young player in the world who can refuse to be retained from the high cold.

'Of course, if you're not interested, then we're going to have a fight with Chelsea and we can't let the players leave. ”

It's not about feelings, it's just that no one wants to lose their interests for no reason, and it's an income of one or two million pounds.

Since Manchester City was bought by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the academy of the Blue Moon has produced almost nothing, and now among the youngsters who can establish themselves in the first team, striker Sturridge is counted as one, and there is a gem in the midfield, Michael Johnson, both of whom are highly valued by Gao Han.

"I'll call Sturridge. Gao Han said.

When Paul Futrey heard this, he also understood what Gao Han meant, and Sturridge was in his plan.

According to Gao Han's keen eyes, Sturridge's potential is as high as 175, he is very fast, his feet are fine, and he is Manchester City's local academy, so it is a pity that such a player does not stay for his own use.

"Also, this is my initial draft of the squad for the first team, I am going to reduce the squad to 25 for the new season, there are so many people that there is no need to stay in the first team. ”

Paul Futrey was taken aback.

You must know that now Manchester City's first team team and the promoted youth players are full of 37 people.

Moreover, according to the club's plan, this summer will definitely be a big recruitment, especially a few superstars, full of calculations, the club will purge at least a dozen people this summer, and may even reach twenty.

This is simply a bloody purge.

However, this is not surprising at all, because Gao Han has his own coaching ideas, and the criteria for evaluating players are also according to the Premier League championship level, and Manchester City in the past is only in the middle of the ranking, and the requirements are much lower than Gao Han.

After Paul Futrey took over the player list from Gao Han, he found a long list of players, many young players were sent back to the second team, and Bellamy, Bodinov, Wright Phillips, goalkeeper Given, De Jong, who are well-known players in the Premier League and Europe, were all listed for sale.

But there were also a few players who were retained by Alpine, and some of them surprised Paul Futrey.

Examples include young goalkeeper Joe Hart, Croatian defender Kohluka, two full-backs, Zabaleta and Bridge, Ireland midfielder Stephen Ireland, Brazilian midfielder Elano, wide player Petrov, and Brazilian striker Jo, who is on loan at Everton.

Especially Ruo, Paul Futrey originally thought that Gao Han would clean him, but he didn't expect to keep him.

The player was recommended to Manchester City from Russia by the famous agent Horabuchin last summer, and the manager at the time, Mark Hughes, admired him, and spent nearly 20 million euros to poach him to Manchester City, only to give him nine appearances in six months, scored a goal, and went on loan to Everton during the winter break.

On the other hand, at Everton, if he made 12 appearances and scored five goals, he performed well, and Moyes has always wanted to continue on loan.

Now it seems that Gao Han is going to use it himself.

…………

…………

After heading back to the city from Manchester Airport, Gao Han and Paul Futtre made a beeline for the City Stadium, where the club's headquarters are located.

The driver drove the car into the internal parking lot, and Paul Futrey led Gao Han directly to the conference room on the second floor of the office.

At this time, a number of core high-level officials, including President Mubarak, have been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome to Manchester City, Mr. Gao Han. As soon as Mubarak saw Gao Han, he stood up excitedly and greeted him.

The other department heads also stood up to greet him, and Gao Han, who was not very sociable, was a little flattered and couldn't help but thank him, especially when he saw Rudolf Borrell, he hugged him with a smile.

Gao Han was a colleague of him in Barcelona for a while, but there was no intersection at that time, and it was not until Gao Han made a name for himself in Madrid that he met Rudolfo Borrell at a gathering of coaching circles, but he did not expect to be a colleague at Manchester City.

As an assistant coach of the first team, Brian Kidd was originally not allowed to attend such high-profile management meetings, but Gao Han was new to the team and was unfamiliar with many things, so Paul Futrey and Mubarak made an exception to invite him to attend.

At Gao Han's request, Manchester City will not hold any welcome ceremony for him, and will not even hold a press conference to sign the contract, but many stars, including Kaka, will have a huge debut ceremony.

Paul Futrey is already starting to prepare for this.

"OK, first of all, I'm here for Manchester City and I'm very grateful to Mr. Gao Han for coming to us. ”

Club president Mubarak was the convener of this meeting, and this was the first high-level meeting of the new season, and it was also the first time that Gao Han participated as a head coach, and all departments attached great importance to it.

"Mr. Mansour is also very happy with the arrival of Mr. Gao Han, he heard that we are going to have a meeting this morning, and he specially postponed several important meetings and activities, hoping to discuss the development of Manchester City in the new season with us in the form of video. ”

With that, Mubarak immediately got in touch with Mansour in Abu Dhabi, the Middle East, through the computer, and showed him on the big screen in the conference room, so that everyone could clearly see the big boss behind the club.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you on this occasion, Mr. Gao Han. As soon as Mansur appeared, he greeted Gao Han with a smile.

Everyone could see that among the people present, the person he valued the most was Gao Han.

With an annual salary of £50 million after tax, it's the highest price ever paid in professional football, and even the superstars can't get it.

"Me too, Mr. Mansour, I haven't had a chance to thank you for your gift in person. Gao Han smiled.

"You're welcome. Mansour is clearly in a great mood as well.

"I've heard everything about Italy and thanks to you, we were able to convince Kaka to join Cristiano Ronaldo. ”

"You're welcome, Mr. Mansour. ”

"Paul, transfer negotiations need to be done quickly, I know that Mr. Gao Han has always attached great importance to pre-season preparation, and you must reach an agreement with Inter Milan as soon as possible. ”

Paul Futrey nodded, "Yes, I know, Mr. Mansour. ”

In the video, Mansour smiles with satisfaction, and the addition of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, two superstars, is not only the biggest transfer of the summer, but also will bring huge influence to Manchester City, and the brand promotion will reach an amazing height.

"Mr. Gao Han, there's something I want to talk to you about. ”

Gao Han nodded, "Please speak." ”
