Chapter 951: Serious This Time
The first leg of the Europa League fourth qualifying round is set up on Thursday, with Paris Saint-Germain playing away and then at home, but luckily against Luxembourg's Divdag is not far away, so the club does not need to make special arrangements.
After two consecutive wins in the opening game, the morale of Paris Saint-Germain was good, and the veterans Drogba and Pirlo performed very well, especially Drogba, who was very eye-catching in the first two rounds, and the team was very convinced of him.
Originally, after the first round of matches, Neymar was somewhat depressed, but in the second round he finally scored.
The atmosphere inside the team is good and the coaching staff is doing well.
Gao Han's prestige and status are there, and he is not like other head coaches, the first thing he does when he comes to the team is to communicate with the players one by one, listen to the opinions and ideas of each player, and also convey his coaching ideas to them, communicate with each other smoothly, coupled with the results of two consecutive wins, Gao Han quickly established authority in the team.
As usual, the club had a recovery session the morning after returning to Paris after the second round of the league.
But after the training, Gao Han said goodbye to the players and hurried back to the office.
At this moment, in the conference room of the Chinatown youth training center in the southern suburbs of Madrid, the club's general manager Armando Marcos, technical director Cantarero, and head coach Pochettino, who has just finished his morning training session, are all sitting on pins and needles.
Soon, the two sides set up a video conference, and Gao Han appeared on the big screen in the conference room.
"Good morning, everyone. Gao Han greeted everyone with a smile.
"Two wins in a row and it looks like you're in a good mood. Everyone in the conference room also laughed with Gao Han.
"It's just the French league, Paris Saint-Germain has invested more than 300 million euros, if it can't fix Lorient and Rennes, then I, the head coach, really don't have to be the manager, just roll up and leave, and go back to Chinatown to be my president. ”
"Look at what you're talking about...... What do you think of our Chinatown?" Cantarero scolded.
It's a joke they often joke with each other, after all, Gao Han is now the manager of Paris Saint-Germain.
"How's it going?"
After a joking, Gao Han began to get serious and got to the point.
Both Cantarero and Pochettino looked at Armando Marcos in unison and motioned for him to answer the question.
"Just now, Real Madrid sent another fax of an offer, and James Rodriguez's offer has been raised to 55 million euros, and we have not yet replied. Armando Marcos said.
Real Madrid wants to get Hames Rodriguez about it, and Gao Han knows it.
In fact, after Paris Saint-Germain poached the two Brazilian talents of Neymar and Lucas Moura in one go, Real Madrid began to shift their targets and play the idea of James Rodriguez.
The Colombian phenom has been in excellent form since this year's Toulon Cup, although he has not performed as well as Neymar and Lucas Moura in the Toulon Cup, Neymar in the Copa America and Henrik in the Under-20 World Cup, but he has been consistent.
The conclusion given by the Chinatown scouts after their scouting in Colombia is that if it weren't for the overall strength of Colombia, James Rodriguez would have been able to perform better than he is now.
This is also why after the U20 World Cup, James Rodriguez was praised by the media all over the world and hailed as one of the most promising talents in world football in the future, and the limelight was not lost to Neymar in the slightest.
But what gives him an advantage over Neymar is that he has already proven himself in La Liga.
Last season he was the most dangerous assist in La Liga, surpassing Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil to top La Liga in terms of the number of dangerous goals per game.
At just twenty years old, Hames Rodriguez has a bright future ahead of him.
Gao Han, of course, knows where the reason is.
Many of his training programs are born out of the coaching system, and the effect is very good, especially with the cooperation of skill cards, the growth rate of young players is obviously faster, and the youth training and training programs in the entire China Town are also tailored to Gao Han, and some are even purchased directly from the coaching system, although there is no assistance from the skill card, but the growth and progress of the players is also very fast.
Therefore, the likes of Falcao, Diego Costa and Michu have improved rapidly since they came to the team, and the same is true of James Rodriguez, who is even slightly better than Neymar now, according to Gao Han's sharp eyes.
What's more, James Rodriguez belongs to the kind of midfield core type of play, which makes the Colombian's tactical value extraordinary, and since the beginning of this year, from the beginning of the year to the present, it has maintained a high form, and it is not surprising that Real Madrid asked for a price.
In fact, on the previous occasions, Real Madrid's offer was directly rejected by Chinatown.
The player also signed a contract extension with the team just before the end of the season, and he will remain in Chinatown for the next five years.
However, after the Copa America, especially after Paris Saint-Germain poached Neymar, Real Madrid began to expedite the pursuit of James Rodriguez, and officially gave an offer not long ago, reaching a high price of 50 million euros, and now it has raised 5 million euros in one go, which shows sincerity.
"Did Florentino call you?" asked Cantarero.
Gao Han shook his head, "He won't call me, the favor card has already been played last time." ”
When it comes to a figure of Florentino's level, the most taboo thing is to owe favors, and from his standpoint, he would rather spend more money than find Gao Han again, besides, Real Madrid's money is not his.
"We spent 60 million euros for Neymar, and they wanted to get James Rodriguez, so they gave 55 million euros, it's not sincere!" Gao Han shook his head.
The people in Chinatown on this side of the video also showed a helpless look.
This is why the transfer market has been hot this summer, and if it were placed in normal times, such an offer would basically be impossible to refuse.
"Mauricio, what do you think?" asked Gao Han.
Pochettino thought for a moment and nodded: "James Rodriguez has been absent from the whole summer preparation, I have been arranging the combination of Herrera and Rakitic, and it has worked well, Isco and Koke have also shown great strength and potential, I think even if we do sell James Rodriguez, our midfield will be good enough for the new season." ”
But at the end of the day, Pochettino smiled, "Of course, if you don't sell it, I'd suggest it's better not to sell it." ”
Gao Han is the manager himself and can definitely understand Pochettino's feelings.
"How's Pelle doing?"
"It's okay, after all, I've just come to the team and I'm not very comfortable yet, but he's smart and he's very conscientious on the pitch, so I think give him a little time. Pochettino said.
'Pelle is a very effective attacking tool when he uses it well, whether it's cutting inside on the wings or inserting it in the centre, and we have to play aggressively on both wings. ”
"I know what to do. Pochettino replied teach-instructed.
Gao Han turned his head to look at General Manager Armando Marcos, "Armando, we have a lot of transfer income this summer, how are you going to spend this money?"
Selling Alderweireld, Otamendi and Michu, Chinatown earned 140 million euros in transfer fees, which has already been said to be a huge amount of money, and how to use it well is also a test of kung fu.
"I've talked to Carlos to further improve our youth system and scouting system, and this season we want to strongly promote paperless office, which will also cost a certain amount of money, as well as a number of equipment and a few experts for the research projects with Nike and Adidas, the data analysis department and the medical department. ”
Armando Marcos is the steward of Chinatown, and it is also a matter of knowledge how to spend the money when he receives it.
"Also, do you remember the last time I told you?"
"You mean, the out-of-town tourists?"
"Yes, I have done research and have been in contact with many travel companies, and I have found that this area has a lot of potential, I have also been in contact with Chinese travel companies in Beijing before, and in recent years, there are more and more Chinese tourists to Spain, Barcelona and Madrid are their two most important destinations, and I conclude that if our new stadium is put into use, it will become one of the most interesting attractions for Chinese tourists, and even tourists from other countries. ”
"Not only that, in the last two or three years, with the rise of our Chinatown, there are more and more Chinese restaurants in Fuenlavrada, which not only attracts residents in the southern suburbs, but even the urban area has begun to be keen to go south, I think the potential of this area is also very large, so ......"
"Are you going to attract investment around the stadium?"
"yes, you know, it's becoming more and more of a revenue for football clubs. ”
Gao Han understands Armando Marcos's line of thinking, which is similar to Real Madrid's Florentino, which is to turn the original football stadium into a commercial center, because the agglomeration effect of the football game itself is a big gold mine.
After Florentino entered the palace for the second time, he has been playing articles on the Bernabeu Stadium, and his ambitions are very big.
And now, Armando Marcos also values this area, could it be that Chinatown also has such potential in the southern suburbs?
"Okay, you can do this as soon as possible, but remember, we have a weak foundation, we must be cautious in investing, I don't want to be in a situation like Arsenal, you know?"
The reason why Arsenal has been so miserable in recent years is because of investment failures.
If it was just a new stadium, the Gunners would definitely not be so bad, but after the demolition of Highbury Stadium at that time, Arsenal management built real estate on the original site in order to make money, but as a result, the economic winter ushered in, the real estate was unsold, and Arsenal had to take on heavy debt.
However, how to tap the resources around the home stadium has become a consensus in the mainstream of European football.
As Gao Han said before, you must be bold, but you must be careful.
Armando Marcos's proposal, whether it is to attract tourists or create a commercial center, is very attractive, and Gao Han believes that with Armando Marcos's vision and ability, he will put forward this idea, which is certainly not untargeted.
"How do you respond to Real Madrid's offer for James Rodriguez?" Cantarero asked with concern.
Gao Han thought for a while, shook his head and said: "We are not short of money now, and we directly rejected Real Madrid's offer, saying that James Rodriguez is a vital member of the team and is not for sale." ”
Not for sale?
When Gao Han said this word, the faces of the people on the other side of the video were obviously a little embarrassed, and they wanted to laugh but couldn't.
The whole of European football knows that when Chinatown says it is not for sale, it actually means that your offer is not high enough.
"Ahem, tell them it's serious this time. Gao Han coughed dryly,
