The Dorchester Hotel, located on the east side of Hyde Park, is famous for Churchill's meeting with Eisenhower during World War II. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The hotel's Ellen Ducasse restaurant is one of London's most famous restaurants.

Here, guests can relax and enjoy the delicious food on offer while taking in the beautiful scenery of Hyde Park, which is an irresistible temptation for anyone.

At lunchtime, Gao Han met the legendary Abramovich for the first time in the luxurious box of Alan Ducasse's restaurant, accompanied by his agent Jorge Mendes.

The Russian tycoon didn't come alone, bringing with him his friend Pini Zahavi, investment adviser Kesh Harris, right-hand man Marina Granovskia, and Bruce Barker, the current Chelsea chairman, who helped him buy the team.

The group enjoyed lunch in the restaurant in the box, taking advantage of the beautiful scenery of Hyde Park outside the window.

From the first time he met, Abramovich gave Gao Han the feeling of being like a polite British gentleman.

But as Mendes said before, he has been deliberately hiding his impressive momentum.

Every Russian oligarch is fought out in a sea of swords and guns, and they are all powerful factions who are decisive in killing.

It is said that when Abramovich decided to buy Chelsea, it only took 20 minutes to negotiate in total, which shows his boldness, but because of his hurry, many details were not handled well, so that former Chelsea chairman Bates secretly cheated.

For example, Chelsea can only play in the UEFA Cup in the new season, the sudden transfers of Hasselbaink and Glen Shire, and Chelsea's debt is said to have a hidden debt in addition to the 80 million pounds.

But as Mendes said, in the Premier League, which is good at playing with capital, this kind of thing is too commonplace.

What's more, for a rich man of Abramovich's level, it is not a matter at all.

"Mr. Gao Han, I believe that Jorge should have already mentioned specific things to you, please rest assured, I and the management will unconditionally support you in coaching the team, and you will be fully responsible for the transfer operation of the team, and others will assist. ”

Abramovich loudly made promises to his face.

This reassured Gao Han, "Thank you." ”

"It's almost July now, and I'm curious to know, do you have any specific ideas?"

Abramovich asked, and several other people in the box immediately looked over.

"Of course. Gao Han nodded, "I have a preliminary understanding of the team's situation, and I hope to streamline the team's existing lineup, and then introduce strong reinforcements in a targeted manner to improve the strength of the team." ”

Abramovich nodded, "How many stars in the team, what are you going to do?"

As soon as the Russian finished speaking, Marina Granovskia, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to take over, "Roman means that players such as Zola, Desailly and Petit are all veterans of the team and famous stars in Europe, should we do our best to keep them?"

Gao Han understood the meaning, Abramovich wanted to build a star-studded team, similar to Real Madrid, all of them were stars, so he wanted to keep these old stars.

But this is obviously not in line with Gao Han's idea of forming a team.

"I don't see it that way. Gao Han shook his head politely, "I think what we need is a competitive team." ”

After a pause, Gao Han saw that Abramovich and the others had nothing to say, so he continued.

"Over the years, Chelsea's situation is no stranger to everyone, bringing in a lot of balloon stars and veterans from the European continent, which is really helpful to Chelsea, but it is also a serious problem, because we all know that veterans, although experienced, are difficult to maintain their level and form throughout the season in such a competitive Premier League. ”

"We Chinese have an old saying that soldiers are not expensive, so my idea is to streamline the squad, send players who do not meet the development of the team in the next two years, and at the same time introduce high-level players to improve the competitiveness of the team in the shortest possible time to meet the requirements of the Premier League and European competition in the new season." ”

Gao Han's words, although somewhat conflicting with Abramovich's thoughts, are also reasonable.

After hearing this, the Russians didn't think much about it, and just nodded and agreed.

"And what do you think of Shevchenko and Henry?"

Gao Han smiled slightly, "They are all the top scorers in the world, and it is difficult for any head coach to refuse." ”

The Russian smiled slightly, "I know Shevchenko very well, it shouldn't be a problem for me to come forward and invite him to Chelsea, as for Henry's ......"

'I can test Arsenal's intentions. Pini Zahavi volunteered.

Gao Han looked at the two people in front of him, nodded and smiled: "If you want to persuade Arsenal to let Henry go, I think it is difficult to climb to the sky, as for Shevchenko...... Frankly, after a serious injury last season, I doubt he'll ever be able to get back to the top. ”

In fact, even in the Champions League final, Carlo Ancelotti chose Inzaghi over Shevchenko.

And it turns out that Inzaghi has performed better than Shevchenko all season.

With Shevchenko's technical characteristics, injuries have a great impact on him, and the characteristics of the Premier League and Serie A are completely different, Gao Han is a little worried, even if Shevchenko is willing to transfer, I am afraid that when he comes to the Premier League, it will be difficult for him to reproduce the style of Serie A.

Of course, at his level, he is a superstar everywhere he goes.

Abramovich heard Gao Han's overtones, "And what do you mean?"

"Instead of spending time on superstars, it is better to bring in players who are capable and easier to operate and avoid a repeat of last season's Real Madrid. ”

In the summer transfer window last season, Real Madrid focused all their attention on Ronaldo and neglected the midfield and backline, which directly led to the team's poor performance throughout the season.

Finally, during the winter break, Woodgate was introduced, and the team's performance stabilized, but as a result, the England central defender was a glass man, and he was injured in the Madrid derby, which directly ruined the entire season.

Even in the early part of the season, it is still unknown whether he will be able to make a smooth comeback.

Abramovich was very interested in Gao Han, and after listening to it, he did not object, and nodded on the spot.

"Well, you're in charge of how the transfer market works this summer, and we'll all listen to you. ”

As soon as the boss made a statement, everyone else followed suit.

'Rest assured, I guarantee that Chelsea will be the most competitive team in the Premier League this season. ”

"Haha, well, I never doubt your strength!"

…………

…………

"He's really ambitious. ”

On the way out of the Dorchester Hotel and back to the Ritz Hotel, Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You have to have Real Madrid's star squad and Atletico Madrid's results......"

Gao Han sighed softly, "How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Mendez drove in the driver's seat, and after hearing this, he smiled: "Didn't he listen to you in the end?"

Gao Han nodded, and Abramovich was indeed relieved.

"By the way, Pini Zahavi gave me a list of players to take a look at when you have time. ”

Mendes pointed to a dark document in the back row, "He's good friends with Roman Abramovich, who will come to the Premier League to buy the team, it was on his suggestion, he has a lot of influence on Abramovich, if he can......"

Mendes didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Pini Zahavi is an agent with a simple purpose: to make money.

Chelsea are on a big buying spree, and if they don't give him a piece of the pie, it won't be justified anyway.

Judging by his influence on Abramovich, it is better for such a person not to be easily offended, and to be appeased if he can.

"I understand, I'll look back. Gao Han nodded.

Mendes also understands Gaohan, "You should understand that this is London, Chelsea is not Atletico Madrid, and even, to some extent, this is the normal working environment for European managers. ”

Gao Han understood.

European professional football is like a vanity fair, mixed with all kinds of interests, including players, agents, management, investors, and fans......

And as the head coach of the team, it can be said that it is the focus of almost all interests.

This requires the head coach to take into account the interests of all parties in order to stabilize the situation and allow the team to play in a stable environment and atmosphere and play to its strongest strength.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Mendez asked with concern.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Almost the entire rebuilding and revival of Chelsea is now under the pressure of Gao Han, and although the power is great, the pressure is also staggering.

Gao Han thought for a while, "The team's right-back needs reinforcements, you help me run to Portugal." ”

"Paolo Ferreira?" Mendes immediately thought of the player.

Takahan has been following Paolo Ferreira for two or three years, and since he was in Setúbal, Mendes introduced him to Takahan, but because of Dario Srna and Roberto, Takahan did not bring Ferreira.

Ferreira moved to Porto from Setúbal last summer and did very well, helping Porto win the Portuguese Super League title as well as the UEFA Cup.

So, Gao Han meant to take him to Stamford Bridge.

Mendes is Ferreira's agent and believes that as long as the money is given, Porto will not have much of a problem.

Chelsea's right-back is a hole and Gao Han hopes Pacos Ferreira can fill it.

"Okay, I'll do it right away. "As long as it's a profitable business, Mendes runs faster than anyone else.

Gao Han thought for a while, "I'm going to go back to Madrid, you can help me arrange it by the way." ”

"Atletico Madrid?"

"Well, besides, I'm going to meet Aragonés. ”

When he first arrived, Gao Han felt that the team still had to have players he was familiar with and it would be easy to use, so it was inevitable to introduce players to Atletico Madrid.

Anyway, Atletico Madrid needs to sell players in exchange for cash, and instead of selling to others, it is better to sell them to Gao Han at all.

At the very least, in terms of transfer fees, Gao Han must give enough.

As for the meeting with Aragonés, Gao Han wanted to talk to him about the future of a player.

I just hope this old man doesn't get too stubborn!
