Chapter 746: Asking Gao Han for help
For Paul Futray, summer is undoubtedly a sign of busyness and fulfillment.
After returning to Manchester from Beijing, China, he was almost non-stop in the preparations for the new season.
Although, in the past year, he has been preparing for Gao Han's appointment, but now, Gao Han is really coming, and he has to rearrange many things.
For example, during his stay in Beijing, Gao Han asked the club to recommend an experienced coach to be his head assistant coach, preferably familiar with the Premier League and Manchester City, so that he could get up to work faster.
Paul Futtre was also prepared for this, and from the moment he heard that Thomas Tuchel was in charge of Mainz, he knew that Gao Han needed such a man, so he had a plan in mind, and as soon as he returned to Manchester from Beijing, he immediately called Brian Kidd in Portsmouth, far south of the country.
Brian Kidd is by far Ferguson's most remembered assistant manager, having been the youth coach of Manchester United before joining the United first team as Ferguson's assistant, with the famous Class of '92 coming from his side.
After leaving Manchester United in '98, he became Blackburn Rovers manager for a time, but the results were not satisfactory, and then he moved to Leeds United, first as a youth manager, and later as an assistant coach of the first team, and experienced the glory of Leeds United at the beginning of the century, and later moved on to England, Sheffield United and Portsmouth.
The coach is not only familiar with all aspects of English football, but also has his own unique ability to develop young players, and is also good at player training, and will definitely be the best assistant for Gao Han to coach the Premier League.
Sixty-year-old Brian Kidd heard that he was working as an assistant to Gao Han, and flew directly from Portsmouth to Manchester the next day, signed a contract with Paul Futtley on the spot, and soon went to work.
Right now sit in the general manager's office, directly across from Paul Futrley.
Sitting next to Brian Kidd is Manchester City's academy director, Spaniard Rodolfo Borrell.
This name is definitely unknown, and there are only a handful of fans I know, but if you talk about the players he has coached, everyone will definitely be impressed by him.
Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Pique, Messi......
It can be said that this group of young talents produced by La Masia have all played under Rodolfo Borrell for a long time and received his training, especially Messi, who was the first coach to enter La Masia.
The academy coach, who has worked very well in the Barcelona academy, is a Madridian through and through.
However, after Pep Guardiola took over the Barcelona first team and began a radical overhaul of the youth team, Rodolfo Borrell, eager to transform, left La Masia in the summer of '08 to coach in Greece, only to fail after six months.
At this time, Paul Futrey was looking for an academy expert for Manchester City, and Rodolfo Borrell, who is quite famous in Madrid's coaching circle, was naturally poached by Paul Futrey to Manchester City as the head of youth training.
What makes Paul Futrey even more important is that Rudolf Borrell once worked with Gao Han, who was only an intern in the first team at the time, so he doesn't remember the youth team youth specialist.
The main reason why Paul Futtre called Brian Kidd and Rudolfo Borrell to his office was to urge them to prepare in advance, so that Gao Han could enter the role as soon as he took office, and at the same time inform them of the club's decision.
From now on, in addition to being the head coach of the team, Gao Han is also the club's chief technology officer, that is to say, all matters related to athletic affairs of the club from top to bottom are decided by Gao Han, not to mention Brian Kidd, Rudolph Borrell and the scouting department, all of which are under Gao Han's jurisdiction.
When the two of them heard the club's decision, their expressions couldn't help but be a little surprised.
In the entire European football world, there are only a handful of managers who enjoy this power, even Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, who is not so big.
In other words, Gao Han will become the Ferguson of Manchester City.
"This time, the club has finally persuaded Gao Han to coach our Manchester City, and the big boss has also spoken, not only the manager wants the best, but the team also wants to build a luxury star squad and make a big show in the Premier League next season, so you must cooperate with Gao Han's work. ”
Paul Futrey was a little envious of Gao Han.
Just yesterday, Gao Han's agent Jorge Mendes came to Manchester to negotiate a personal contract, but as a result, there was no need to talk about it at all, all the commercial sponsorship contracts signed by Gao Han before, Manchester City recognized them, and did not want Gao Han to have the slightest image right, and gave a sky-high annual salary of 50 million pounds after tax.
That's more than double Gao Han's annual salary at Bayern Munich.
Not only that, but the team also promised to give another generous prize money after winning the championship.
Paul Futrey was almost shocked, although he only signed a two-year contract, but on Gao Han, the club spent at least 200 million pounds, what kind of courage is this?
But this is clearly just the beginning.
Big boss Mansour called Mubarak and Paul Futre overnight, saying that the team's recruitment efforts must be large, and the introduction of superstars with market influence as much as possible must create a sensational effect, with the help of the momentum of Gao Han and superstars, so that Manchester City has soared since then.
And the first target that the club aimed at first was Kaka.
"Okay, I've already explained what I should explain, you guys hurry up and do something. "Paul Futrey is also a little tired.
Since returning from Beijing, he has been busy and has never had a good rest.
But just as Brian Kidd and Rudolph Borrell stood up to say goodbye, the office door was suddenly slammed open, and only a person was seen breaking in from the outside.
All three in the office were taken aback by the sudden movement, and when they looked at it, it was David Harrison, the club's chief scout, a talent selection expert who has been coaching Leeds United for nearly a decade and has a lot of experience, and Brian Kidd was recommended to Paul Futtley.
"What's going on?" said Paul Futtrey, a little displeased.
In his own office territory, he was knocked in without knocking on the door, and no one was happy to change it.
"I'm sorry, but things are urgent. David Harrison rushed directly to Paul Futre's desk, "I just received news from Milan that just this morning, Kaka's agent's father, Bosco, officially agreed with Real Madrid on Kaka's personal treatment, and signed in the afternoon. ”
"What?" Paul Futrey jumped up from his seat.
"How can it be so fast? Didn't you even negotiate the price before?"
"That's right. David Harrison shook his head vigorously, "But according to the information I have received, Real Madrid president Florentino suddenly came to Milan yesterday and reached an agreement with Galliani in just one morning, and in the afternoon he made an appointment with Kaka's father and the lawyer to discuss personal treatment, and the agreement was reached in the morning." ”
Paul Futrley's face changed.
He didn't expect things to change like this suddenly, too quickly.
He also told Gao Han before that Real Madrid's progress is not going well, and the price between him and AC Milan has not been negotiated, and it is estimated that there will be no results before mid-July, after all, it is a superstar transfer, involving all aspects of the contract terms.
Because of this, Gao Han was not in a hurry to call Kaka, and wanted to wait until Manchester City negotiated with AC Milan before coming forward to negotiate with Kaka, after all, this is more formal, so as not to be caught by others and make a big fuss.
Unexpectedly, Florentino personally led the team to Milan to negotiate, and the progress was so fast.
You know, Kaka is the first superstar that Manchester City has been in contact with and fought for in the past year, and if he goes to Real Madrid, it will definitely be a mistake by Manchester City's management, and the first to bear the brunt is Paul Futre.
At the thought of this, Paul Futrey was in a mess.
Absentmindedly, he waved his hand to the three people in front of him, signaling that they all went out first, and he needed to think calmly.
But after the three of them went out, he still couldn't think of a way.
The only thought that came to mind was to ask Gao Han for help.
…………
…………
For this signing in the afternoon, Kaka attaches great importance to it.
After lunch, he went back to his room to take a shower, shaved his beard, changed into a suit specially tailored for him by his master Zhang Quan from Beijing, and looked at himself in the dressing mirror, the corners of Kaka's mouth were raised, revealing a smile.
He hopes that this signing session in the afternoon will be a new step in his career.
Walking back to the room and taking the mobile phone that was placed on the bedside, Kaka hesitated to call the boss Gao Han.
Real Madrid president Florentino said that his people have been fighting for Gao Han to coach at the Bernabeu, and Kaka would also like to call Gao Han and tell him that he has decided to go to Real Madrid and hope he can come.
Let Kaka transform, this is what Gao Han said early on, and the transformation under Gao Han is also what Kaka has always expected.
It's just that he's been a little hesitant to make this call.
Finally, Kaka still made the decision to fight.
Even if it's just to tell the boss about his move to Real Madrid.
Thinking of this, Kaka found Gao Han's mobile phone number in the address book, but just as he was about to press the dial button, the door was opened from the outside, and he saw his wife Caroline walk in and stopped Kaka's hand to press the button.
"What's the matter?" Kaka asked.
"My father said it was time to go, so as not to keep the people of Real Madrid waiting. Caroline said.
Kaka glanced at the number that was about to be dialed in his hand, and finally pressed the cancel button, nodding to his beautiful wife.
"Well, let's go. ”
Caroline smiled at Kaka and walked over to help him straighten the collar and cuffs of his suit.
When the couple came down the stairs, Bosko and the two lawyers, who were sitting in the living room, stood up.
This time, the contract negotiated with Real Madrid went unexpectedly smoothly, Real Madrid's requirements are very simple, half of Kaka's portrait rights, for Kaka's previous commercial contract, there is no conflict with Real Madrid's existing contract, so this aspect is not a big problem.
As for Kaka's annual salary and terms, Real Madrid has also made a lot of concessions, from the whole negotiation process, Real Madrid has indeed given enough sincerity, especially Florentino, who has promised Bosco more than once that Real Madrid will do its best to invite Gao Han to coach at the Bernabeu to help Kaka successfully transform.
Everyone believed in the real estate tycoon's promises.
"Alright, let's go. ”
After saying goodbye to their family, the father and son got into the car with their lawyer and headed for the hotel where Florentino was staying.
