Chapter 660: Door-to-door poaching
Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The same old adage applies to a professional team.
That's why so many teams that were once invincible in European football have completely disappeared from the eyes of fans in just a few years, because they can't move forward and can only be constantly squeezed down by latecomers.
But it is precisely because of the fierce competition that European professional football has always stood at the core of world football.
With the fierce competition in the Spanish league, the Chinese city team has no way to stand alone, either forward or backward.
For the China City team, Gao Han had no ambitions at first.
At the beginning, he just wanted to build an amateur team, so that old students such as Tu Feiyuan and Xiao Mu could have a job and a way out, so he started to do youth training.
But later, as his fame became more and more famous, and as his status in Spanish football became higher and higher, players began to come to him, and the biannual Talent Day selection has become a major event in Spanish football.
Up to now, although the China City team is still owned by Gao Han, it is no longer just about Gao Han alone.
The team has thousands of die-hard fans around Madrid, in Spain, and even around the world, and they have watched the team climb from the lowest league to the current La Liga, perhaps because of the high cold, or for other reasons.
They are loyal, passionate, and will cheer for the team's victory, but also cry for the team's defeat.
At the Chinatown Academy, the club has dozens of employees, dozens of families behind it, hundreds of academy players and twenty or thirty first-team players, as well as Pochettino, who gave up the opportunity to coach Espanyol in La Liga for the sake of Chinatown, and the coaching team behind him.
Not to mention Almodo Marcos, who was poached by Mendest, and his management team.
In just eight years, this team has gone from being created to being a professional team in the second division of the league, it is not only a team founded by Gao Han, it has already involved the interests of countless fans and countless families.
Now, in front of Gao Han is a single-plank bridge, either continue to move forward and strive to rush to La Liga in the shortest possible time and stand at the top of the professional league, or be swept away by the big waves and be eliminated back to the lower league, and the whole team will fall apart.
Whether it's Gao Han, or Pochettino, or Almodo Marcos, or Jorge Mendes, or all the fans, players and employees of the China City team, no one wants to choose the latter.
That would be a disaster.
It's as if after Juventus' relegation, the team fell apart completely.
The only difference is that the Bianconeri are backed by a huge consortium of the Agnelli family, but behind the China City team, there is nothing.
Gao Han didn't expect the team to rise so fast, and he did underestimate the difficulty of running a professional team before, after all, relying on Gao Han's connections and connections in Spanish football, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the Chinese city team has gained too many advantages, so that the team's foundation is not solid.
But now, the China City team is like an arrow and is bound to advance.
"Two years, maybe even this season, I'm going to get the team to La Liga. Gao Han promised loudly.
Both Almodo Marcos and Pochettino were excited.
The most eye-catching promotion horse in the Bundesliga this season is Hoffenheim, a legendary team that has gone from the lower leagues all the way to the top league, attracting the attention of all over Europe, but if China City can reach La Liga, the legend will be even better than Hoffenheim.
Especially under the aura of alpine.
Jorge Mendes also felt the pressure and responsibility on Gao Han, and he also understood that if the Chinese city team could not rush to La Liga within two years, it would be difficult to retain this group of outstanding players, and they would definitely have to leave the team for their own development.
When that time comes, people's hearts will be scattered.
Even, when that time comes, it will be a big damage to Gao Han's image.
He wasn't stupid, on the contrary, he had always been shrewd, and every time he looked back, he would be glad for the choices he had made.
For example, he was glad that he took the initiative to invite Gao Han to cooperate, which brought him a huge brokerage empire.
In many cases, some seemingly loss-making cooperation turns out to be a win-win situation for each other, or even a win-win situation.
Mendes believes this time is the same.
"Don't worry, I'll help you bring back these players you want. Mendez assured solemnly.
In fact, Gao Han is also a bit stubborn and unwilling to accept third-party capital to intervene in his club, so he has always disliked players with third-party ownership coming to his team, and he feels that it will make him very difficult.
For example, if you buy Falcao of the River Plate team, as long as Gao Han speaks, Mendes can buy part or even all of his ownership in the name of the company, and then send it to the China City team to play.
But the problem is that once Falcao performs well and his value rises a little, from the perspective of a businessman, he should quickly cash out, after all, his brokerage company is also under operating pressure, and it is also necessary to consider the return of funds and costs.
But if it is from the perspective of the club's management, in the absence of a suitable replacement, it will definitely do its best to retain.
When that time comes, there will definitely be a conflict between the two sides.
Another point is that Gao Han believes that third-party ownership is the same as when he found loan players from other teams, which is unreliable, and only the strength of the team itself is fundamental.
So, over the years, he was not involved in these businesses in Mendes.
Almodo Marcos also felt Gao Han's determination, thought about it, nodded and said: "I will quickly ask the commercial department to draw up a plan, I am considering taking advantage of the opportunity of the establishment of the Chinatown Youth Training Center in Beijing to open a branch to specialize in attracting investment in China, I believe there should be many Chinese companies interested in us." ā
Gao Han nodded, and Almodo Marcos saw this very accurately.
If Chinese companies want to go abroad, they must have publicity and marketing, and over the years, more and more companies have paid attention to this part.
There is no doubt that although the China City team is in the second league, it can be said that the degree of attention is no worse than that of some La Liga teams.
At the very least, as early as the third division, China City were able to appear in the pages of important media such as Marca and As, albeit simply to report the game.
"For the time being, I haven't seen the information and situation of these players, so I can't judge for the time being, but I believe in Mr. Gao Han's vision. Pochettino has also decided to take a stance as manager.
"If these players are able to join the team, I guarantee that the team will do everything in their power to attack the promotion places in the new season, because I need them to keep the morale in the team. ā
Upgrading every year is a great incentive for the players of the Chinese City team.
It can be said that everyone in the team, from top to bottom, is full of expectations for the future and full of ambition.
It's like a car at high speed, you can brake again and again, but try to avoid sudden braking.
"The pressure is a good thing, Maurisio, but this season in La Liga will be very competitive, Jerez, Zaragoza, Tenerife, Hercules, Rayo Vallecano, Real Sociedad, Levante, Vigo Celta, ......"
'It's very difficult for the team to be promoted in front of a lot of competitors, but I believe you have the ability to lead the team, so no matter what the final result is, you will continue to be the manager, and that's my promise to you. ā
Pochettino nodded heavily, he understood that Gao Han wanted him to be reassured.
"And my request to you is very simple, there is only one, let go of your hands and feet, and do a big job. ā
After Pochettino heard this, he smiled and nodded, this is his character.
There is no doubt that Gao Han is not only a very good head coach, but also a leader who knows football and management very well.
At the very least, he knows better than anyone what kind of work environment a man like Pochettino needs.
It's better to coach in a challenging, challenging environment with a bit of pressure.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
With consensus, it's much easier to get things done.
Pochettino has no experience in La Liga or La Liga so far, so Gao Han has passed on some of his own lessons, such as the fact that for promoted horses, the start of the league is very important.
Also, in the long season, there will definitely be different problems, but how to solve them and so on.
Pochettino also learned a lot from the experience of the alpine.
Almodo Marcos went directly to the management to discuss how the new season would work.
Instead, it was Jorge Mendez who got up and walked to the window to make a phone call.
It wasn't until Gao Han and Pochettino had talked about it that the Portuguese agent came over.
"That's it. ā
"Who?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for AC Milan, Alderweireld for Ajax, Douglas Costa for Gremio, Ramirez for Cruzeiro, and River Plate for Falcao......"
When Mendes said this, he smiled at Gao Han proudly, as if he was asking for credit.
"All these players have been done?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
Pochettino was so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw.
knew that Mendes had eyes and hands, but he didn't know that he was so good.
"It's nothing, it's all about business cooperation, and these players aren't well-known, so it's easier to talk about, but Schneiderlin, Mkhitaryan and De Vrij, I'm afraid I'll have to make a trip myself. ā
Mendes has worked with Feyenoord, but he is not familiar with it, as for Schneiderlin and Mkhitaryan are small teams, Mendes does not know them at all, so he can only contact them through an intermediary first, and then go over to talk about them himself.
Gao Han smiled bitterly and shook his head, these players can be dealt with in a few phone calls, who can do this kind of thing, looking at the world, who else except Mendes?
"Oh, by the way, I was just talking to my partner when I got a message about you. ā
"About me?" Gao Han frowned and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"I received the news that just today, Real Madrid came to your door and made an official offer to Bayern Munich, and made an offer of 50 million euros in one go, wanting to get Aguero. ā
"What?" Gao Han was taken aback.
Real Madrid is going to spend 50 million euros to poach Aguero?
In just one year, the Argentinian has doubled in value.
But Aguero occupies a very important position in Alpine's plan, how can he sell it?
"What is the attitude of Rummenigge and Hoeness?" Gao Han asked.
"I don't know, just ask for yourself. Mendez shrugged.
From the perspective of a businessman, such a lucrative business, don't you suffer a lot?
As soon as Mendes finished speaking, Gao Han's cell phone rang.
Caller ID, Rummenigge.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.
