Chapter 684 - Signed
The TV director was clearly very good at catching gimmicks, and when he saw Peter Kenyon's eyes closed in one of the many shots, he immediately signalled to switch to the live camera and show it to a worldwide audience, as well as on the big screen in the trapezoidal chamber, allowing everyone to see the nervousness of the Chelsea CEO.

But no one laughed at all.
In a way, there's no shame in being afraid of the cold.
Looking at the whole of European football, who is not afraid?
Over the years, Gao Han has been a nightmare for all professional teams, no matter which team he leads, which team can win the championship, and he has always been able to lay a solid foundation for this team to stand at the top of the national league and even the Champions League for a long time.
Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Inter Milan and now Bayern Munich's turn.
Over the years, there are not many people in European football who have secretly laughed at Roman Abramovich for missing Chelsea's most promising opportunity to reach the top, and even burying it with his own hands.
For the coaches of the major giants, it is a very challenging thing to compete with Gao Han, and they all take pleasure in it, with the goal of defeating Gao Han, and they are proud of defeating Gao Han.
But for the operators of the major giants, they have to consider the price of the team's draw against Bayern Munich.
That's a loss of tens of millions of euros, and who would want to accept it if anyone is replaced?
But at the draw table, Bruno Conte ruthlessly unscrewed the ball, took out a note from it, and the expression on his face was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he shouted hard: "Bayern Munich." ”
Bayern Munich!
The audience suddenly exclaimed.
When Peter Kenyon heard the name, he jumped up from his seat and stood up in disbelief.
On the stage in front of him, Bruno Conte flipped the note, which was indeed printed with Bayern Munich.
Peter Kenyon sat back limply and shook his head.
Under the lottery, this is definitely a sub-draw.
was so unlucky to meet Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the Champions League, Peter Kenyon was completely speechless.
How could it be so coincidental? So unlucky?
He didn't even pay attention to the remaining few draws, and his whole heart was absent-minded.
In the end, Barcelona drew Lyon, Roma drew Arsenal, Inter Milan drew Villarreal, Manchester United drew Juventus and Atletico Madrid drew Sporting Lisbon.

In the afternoon, it was supposed to be the time for a nap.
Abramovich has a habit of taking a lunch break every day, and at this time of the day, he should lie on the bed in his bedroom, and even if he can't sleep, he should at least close his eyes for a while.
But today, he sat abnormally in the living room, absentmindedly flipping through the newspaper in his hand, and drank cup after cup of coffee.
From his glance at his phone from time to time, the maid judged that he should be waiting for a very important call.
But what is it about a phone call that can make someone like Abramovich so nervous that he can't sleep?
"Another cup of coffee. ”
Abramovich put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head and shouted.
The maid immediately nodded in agreement, walked over to pick up the coffee cup, and just as she turned to walk away, the cell phone on the table finally rang.
I saw Abramovich leaning out as if reflexively, grabbed the phone, and directly pressed the answer button.
"Hey, well, it's me, what's going on, Peter?" Abramovich asked.
Immediately afterwards, I saw him stand up from his seat and said in a shocked voice, "What? How can this be?"
The servant was startled, and stepped aside in fear, looking at his boss strangely, wondering what the phone was, and why did it sound like it had frightened him?
"I'm going to it. ”
After hearing Abramovich scold angrily, he slammed the mobile phone in his hand to the ground.
With a snap, even a mobile phone, which is known for its durability, suddenly fell apart.
"It's absolutely shady!"
"Someone definitely wants to kill us, someone must be trying to kill us!"
The servant was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, but he dared to hide there and not dare to say anything.
…………
…………
As soon as the draw results of the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League were released, they immediately caused a huge repercussion around the world.
As in previous years, countless media and fans believe that there must be a shady draw this time, otherwise, how to explain that Porto, the weakest in the first place, will draw Panathinaikos, the weakest in the second place?
Isn't this a guarantee for a team from a non-big four league to reach the quarter-finals?
As for the other matchups, they were equally mixed.
Barcelona vs. Lyon, the La Liga giants are undoubtedly in an overwhelming advantage, whether it is from the overall strength or from the past record, Barcelona has a reason to win.
The same goes for Atletico Madrid against Sporting Lisbon and Inter Milan against Villarreal, with everyone agreeing that the Sheets and Nerazzurri will progress.
On the contrary, Liverpool vs. Real Madrid, which is more interesting.
Real Madrid have been in poor form in recent years, stopping in the round of 16 for many years, losing the likes of Robinho this season, but also having strong reinforcements like Van der Vaart, and the possibility of bringing in strong stars such as Huntelaar during the winter break, so it is unclear who will have the last laugh in the matchup between the two teams.
Roma's clash with Arsenal is also inextricably linked, with Spalletti and Arsene Wenger both having problems in the league this season, and it will be up to them to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.
And the most eye-catching match between Bayern Munich and Chelsea is that fans around the world are looking forward to it.
According to the schedule, the second-place team is the home and away team, and the first leg between the two sides, Bayern Munich will visit Stamford Bridge, which is also the first time that Gao Han has returned to Stamford Bridge after leaving the Chelsea position.
How will the Chelsea fans greet him?
Will Chelsea be able to challenge Alpine and Bayern Munich?
This has undoubtedly become the biggest suspense in the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League.
…………
…………
While there was a lot of hype outside about the match between Chelsea and Bayern Munich, and the news that Gao Han would return to Stamford Bridge, Gao Han was at home in Munich, entertaining the visiting Cantarero family.
This is not a celebration of Christmas, as the club's Christmas was held as early as December 14, the day after the team returned to Munich after the 17th round of the 17th round, beating Stuttgart 2-0 away.
After celebrating Christmas early, the club officially began its winter break, and it will not resume training until January next year, when it will go to the warm Middle East.
At this moment, the snow is falling heavily outside Munich, the heating is on in the house, and a group of people gather in a circle in the restaurant, shabu beef hot pot, accompanied by a few exquisite side dishes carefully prepared by Lin Xia, and drink German dark beer, which is really a special taste.
"Lin Xia's cooking skills are getting better and better, no wonder I've fed you fat recently. After a few beers, Cantarero made a joke about Gao Han and Lin Xia.
He is an old assistant who has followed Gao Han for many years, from Gao Han and Lin Xia to start dating, watching them enter the marriage hall, and now, even the child is about to be born, not to mention how close the relationship is.
After hearing Cantarero's words, Gao Han turned his head sideways and glanced at Lin Xia, who was preparing side dishes in the kitchen behind him, his lower abdomen was already bulging very obviously, and in another three or four months, the child would fall to the ground, and he was also very proud of being a father.
Perhaps feeling Gao Han's eyes, Lin Xia also raised his head, met Gao Han's eyes, glanced at him angrily, and lowered his head with a smile and continued to prepare side dishes.
"Carlos, I have something I want to discuss with you. Gao Han said.
"What's the matter?" Cantarero asked.
"Have you considered going in any other direction?"
When Cantarero heard this, he was a little surprised, "What do you mean?"
Not only him, but his wife also felt very strange, what does Gao Han mean by this brainless question?
"I mean, for example, being a technical director. ”
"Technical Director?" Cantarero was really taken aback, and then shook his head with a burst of laughter, "Just me, as a technical director, do you think it's reliable?"
After saying that, he himself laughed.
Looking at it after it was ridiculous, Gao Han still nodded very seriously, "Reliable, very reliable." ”
Cantarero and his family couldn't laugh at this moment, "I said, are you serious?"
"Hmm. Gao Han nodded.
"Why?"
'As you've said, you're not a good manager but you're good at planning, you're good at training players and most importantly, you're the one I trust the most. ”
Gao Han's words moved Cantarero very much.
He has been following Gao Han since 200, and after a little calculation, it has been eight years.
Over the past eight years, the two of them have played side by side, and the oldest in the Alpine coaching team are Cantarero and Sergio Garcia.
The latter is now gradually detached from the team, because he is more responsible for data collection and analysis, and there is no need to follow the team all the time, and at the same time, he has to take care of the affairs of the China City team.
Therefore, in the entire coaching team, Cantarero is the oldest.
Gao Han knows his colleague very well, after years of front-line experience, he has improved very quickly, his tactical literacy is very high, he has followed Gao Han's side for a long time, he has a very accurate grasp of Gao Han's concept and advanced tactical trends, and he is good at training players and has trained his ability to tap young players.
More importantly, as Gao Han's right-hand man, Cantarero has also accumulated a lot of contacts in European football over the years, and Gao Han has put his heart to him, so since Gao Han decided to set up a technical director in the China City team, Cantarero has always been the best choice in his heart.
When he heard that Gao Han decided to reform the management system of the Chinese city team, Cantarero was 100% in favor, because he himself had seen the efficiency of Bayern Munich's management system, and he had also experienced the procrastination of Inter Milan and Chelsea in the early stage, so he also knew very well that it was necessary to reform the management system.
He can serve as the technical director of the China City team......
"Trust me, you can. Gao Han was full of confidence in him, "You should know that this team has cost me a lot of hard work, and I will never risk you and it, right?"
That's true.
Cantarero already has an almost blind trust in Gao Han.
"Armando Marcos and Pochettino, I've already communicated, and during the winter break, I'm going to go to Madrid and reform the management of this team, and you, the technical director, will take over immediately. ”
After listening to Cantarero, he smiled, "Okay, no matter what you do, I have to listen to you, you can do whatever you say, but, I'm leaving, what about your team?"
'You don't have to worry about that, with Tuchel here, there will be no problem, but it's you, the first thing you do when you take office is not easy. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Dig up a person. ”
