"What? Chelsea came poaching?"

When Gao Han heard the news from Mendes, the whole person was taken aback.

He would never have imagined that the Blues would suddenly want to poach Chinatown on a whim.

Is it a pre-match psychological tactic?

As soon as Gao Han's mind moved, his agent Jorge Mendes understood what he meant, "Don't worry, I have tried it, they really want to buy, not a pre-game psychological tactic." ”

"But I don't understand. Gao Han shook his head.

Mendes smiled, as the so-called wise man thinks a thousand times, there must be a mistake.

'You forget that there are four players in the Chelsea squad who are going to play the Africa Cup of Nations in January and February, and during this period of time, Scolari is not available, and players such as Ballack are not trusted by Scolari, so bringing in high-quality scorers and midfielders is the most urgent task for Chelsea at the moment. ”

"But why Falcao and Ramirez, why Chinatown?"

Jorge Mendes nodded, "Because everyone believes in your vision, more than you think." ”

After a pause, Mendes continued: "In European football, especially when it comes to players in their early twenties, the assessment of strength is often very important, and the case of spending a lot of money and bringing in unsuitable players is a case that happens every year in European football. ”

"And everybody thinks that the quality of the players you have handpicked is unquestionable, and there must be guarantees, so they are happy to do it, not only Falcao and Ramirez, you know, Chinatown is like a treasure trove now, and a lot of big teams are salivating. ”

"They didn't do it, not because they didn't want to, but because they were waiting for a more opportune time, and they were waiting for you and Chinatown to help them train their players better, and they didn't mind spending a little more for that. ”

If European professional football is seen as a pyramid, then the giants are undoubtedly at the top of the tower.

They have the biggest income, the largest transfer budget, and can buy the players they want at the highest price, so as to improve the team's competitiveness and challenge for various titles.

In a way, developing young players has never been the way big teams operate.

The emphasis on academy players like Barcelona is completely outlier, and it can be said that they are only temporary.

When a group of youth players such as Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, and Pique get old, and the youth players cannot meet the requirements of the first team, Barcelona will inevitably be like other giant teams, bringing in reinforcements from the outside at a high price to strengthen the competitiveness of the first team.

And these big teams often want the kind of mature stars who can fight, and cultivating semi-finished products is often just a piggybacking move.

Gao Han is very helpless, because although the China City team has climbed to the four major European leagues now, it is only a downstream team in La Liga, even if it relies on Gao Han's aura, it is only a midstream team, but some things can't be changed at all.

For example, the China City team is short of money.

Today's professional football can be said to be dominated by capital, and without money, it is impossible to have championships and retain people.

"You know, I'm a professional agent, as an agent for Falcao and Ramirez, I have to think about their interests, Chelsea's conditions are really high, especially the salary, which is very good in the Chelsea team, and it is impossible to get it in Chinatown. ”

Gao Han can understand Mendes's difficulty, after all, he opened the door to do business.

To put it mildly, if the players really want to leave, they can fire Mendes, find a new agent to talk to Chelsea, and Mendes's reputation will be ruined because of this, and no one will believe him again.

In a way, Mendes was able to go from London to Manchester at noon after meeting Abramovich in the morning, and reveal the news to Gao Han, which is enough in itself.

"Think about it. "Mendez's identity is a bit sensitive, so I shouldn't say too much.

Gao Han also understood, but after sending him away, he was still frowning.

Selling people, he was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Falcao and Ramirez are both the best performers in the China City team this season, and it is natural to be targeted, otherwise, there is no need for Gao Han to rush to renew their contracts before.

Now it seems that the renewal of the contract is very timely, and the initiative to sell or not is in the hands of Gao Han and Chinatown.

But the question is, is it worth keeping?

Sending them both away, the biggest problem is how to make up for the team's losses.

Since Gao Han arrived at Madrid in October, the performance of the Chinese City team has improved a lot.

They beat Sporting Gijón 2-0 at home in the seventh round, but lost 1-2 away to Getafe in the eighth round, and then lost 0-1 at home to Atletico Madrid, suffering two consecutive defeats.

However, in the 10th round, the team beat Sunderland 2-0 away, drew 1-1 at home to Barcelona in the 11th round, and then beat Almeria 4-1 away, and the league ranking is firmly in seventh and eighth place.

And the most surprising of these games was the match against Barcelona in the 11th round.

Pochettino's side were so distracted against Barcelona that it wasn't until the 54th minute of the second half that Xavi assisted Alves to score a goal, but it wasn't long before Falcao received an assist from Mkhitaryan to equalise the scores.

After that, China City launched a wave of counter-attacks against Barcelona, but the two sides never managed to score again.

However, this battle made the Chinese city team shine and won the recognition of countless media reporters and fans, especially the goal-scorer Falcao, Mkhitaryan, who was voted the best player of the game, and Ramirez, who was both offensive and defensive in the midfield.

Gao Han had to think about one thing, let them go during the winter break, who could fill their vacancy?

What's more, the competition is so intense that the team doesn't have time for the new signings to adapt, so they have to be able to fight.

Thinking about it, Gao Han exhaled heavily, and secretly cursed Abramovich in his heart.

Rich people are amazing, can they be so capricious?

But I'm not easy to mess with!

…………

…………

Match after match, with the Carabao Cup in midweek before the weekend kicks off Chelsea's spotlight.

For three days, Gao Han and the coaching staff made every work plan accurate to the minute.

Therefore, Gao Han had to temporarily put down the affairs of the China City team and devote himself to the work of Manchester City.

And he also wants to take this opportunity to teach Chelsea a lesson at the City Stadium to avenge the revenge of the year.

He believes that journalists from all over the world should be looking forward to this showdown.

The day before the game, Manchester City held a press conference at the City Stadium, which attracted nearly 100 media reporters, setting a record in Manchester City's history, which shows the attractiveness of this game.

At the press conference, Gao Han first announced the team's game squad, and unsurprisingly, Kaka appeared in the squad again, which is no longer news for many media reporters, but old news.

What really makes media reporters care is what Gao Han thinks when he faces Chelsea again.

To this, Gao Han replied in a joking tone that he didn't think much about it at all.

"No matter who the opponent is, there will always be only two words that come to mind in my dictionary: attack. ”

'There's no doubt that Chelsea are the strongest team City have experienced so far this season, maybe not one of them, but we're confident enough to get a win at City Stadium in the way we know and do best. ”

Gao Han's statement was not unexpected.

"Mr. Gao Han, in the other strong conversations this season, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool were all defeated by Chelsea, and Chelsea did not concede a single goal, the defensive ability is quite good, you don't have to worry about it......"

"Don't worry!" Gao Han didn't wait for the reporter to finish asking the question, and immediately answered.

This immediately caused a burst of laughter from the audience, and many media reporters felt helpless about it.

Gao Han faced the media reporters, he was already an old fritter, and many people knew how to answer without asking him.

'You're right, Mr. Journalist, Chelsea did beat Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United, but we've beaten them this season as well, and you know, they're at the top of the Premier League right now...... It's us!"

Gao Han pointed to himself and reminded confidently.

He knows very well the urine nature of media reporters, who will desperately hype up the Manchester City crisis theory and hype that Manchester City is going to lose, because it is more gimmick than Manchester City winning.

Therefore, it is rare to usher in such a focus battle, where will they easily let it go?

Facts have proved that Gao Han's judgment of the media is not wrong at all.

Although they have been slapped in the face again and again over the years, they are still repeating their opinions again and again, Gao Han is going to lose, and this is it.

Sometimes, Gao Han also has to admire the thickness of the face of media reporters.

Manchester City's match against Chelsea was scheduled for prime time on Saturday evening, while Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal were all scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

On Saturday afternoon, United travelled south to London to take on the Hammers at West Ham United, only for Alex Ferguson's side to win 4-0 away at the Hammers in a spectacular victory.

Arsenal hosted Stoke City at the Emirates Stadium in London, with the Gunners scoring a goal in each half to secure the three points.

Only Reds Liverpool suffered another setback on the road, facing Sam Allardyce's side, Liverpool failed to play a threatening attack, drawing 0-0 away at Blackburn Rovers and the two sides shook hands.

The Reds' plight had been foreseen at the start of the season, but in fact, as the season progressed, the problems became more and more serious, and Rafael Benitez's side are now fifth, a big draw behind the top four, and it may be difficult to turn the tide in the second half of the season if they fail to bring in reinforcements in the winter break transfer market.

Even Benitez's position is under threat and he could leave at any time.

The afternoon was a great match, but all eyes were on the evening's showdown.

Chelsea even arrived in Manchester a day earlier to concentrate on the game, with owner Roman Abramovich and his management personally in charge of the game at the City Stadium, showing their determination to win.

In his pre-match press conference, coach Scolari shouted that he would defeat Manchester City away, win three points, and return to the top of the table, encouraging his players to beat Manchester City in the game.

Facing Chelsea, which has repeatedly defeated strong opponents this season, Gao Han and Manchester City are also afraid to be careless and concentrate on preparation.

Gao Han even began to prepare a gift as early as a week ago to surprise Chelsea at the game.

And in this game, the VIP box of the City Stadium also ushered in a mysterious guest.
