Chapter 149: You Must Be Able to See It!
"Didn't we stop it, or protest it?"
Gao Han asked the doubts in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Real Madrid is a giant, Atletico Madrid is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Moreover, Real Madrid has really not done a good job.
Old Hill smiled miserably at him when he heard Gao Han's question.
Everyone knows that Raul's switch to Real Madrid is the biggest regret of his life.
"How could it not be?"
Gao Han already knew this answer, because with Old Hill's character, it was impossible not to resist.
"Do you know why we signed Torres so early and paid him a monthly salary?"
Gao Han was a little puzzled, he was obviously talking about Raul, why did he jump to Torres's side?
This old man's thinking is too jumpy, isn't it?
But he still shook his head, and it was indeed a little strange.
According to Torres himself, the club signed him when he was fifteen.
"I'm afraid that he will be poached and cause Raul's things to happen again, that's just one aspect, and the other is because of ......"
Old Hill looked straight ahead, as if there were memories of him.
“…… Because, Torres's family background reminds me of Raul. ”
"The child of a civilian family in the south of Madrid, his parents also had high hopes for him, and in order to take care of him to play football, his father did not have a stable job, and the family was living a difficult life, and it was almost difficult to make ends meet. ”
Gao Han suddenly understood that this was not only about Torres, but also about Raul at that time.
The family worked hard to train him to play football, naturally hoping that he could play in the professional league and make money to support his family.
As for what die-hard fans, what loyalty, what ideals, all of these have to stand aside in front of the breadwinners.
"I don't hate Raul at all, I also understand that maybe he stays at Atletico Madrid and may not be able to reach the height he is now, I just feel very sorry, but at the same time I regard this transfer as a lifelong shame!"
Speaking of which, Old Hill gritted his teeth with hatred.
"We tried in every possible way and through all kinds of channels to keep Raul, and we even came close to convincing him and his father, and at the same time we fought back against Real Madrid's behaviour and I vowed to make them pay the price until ...... Mendoza gave me a call. ”
At this time, Old Hill's expression was full of resentment.
Mendoza, another great president of Real Madrid after the Bernabeu, has been at the helm of Real Madrid for many years, and his contacts and relationships in Spanish football are quite outstanding and influential.
What exactly was said on the phone, Old Hill didn't continue.
Perhaps, he didn't want to mention it at all.
But Gao Han can imagine that it must not be a very pleasant negotiation, and in the end, Atletico Madrid must have suffered a dark loss, and the old Hill can only watch Raul join the sworn enemy in the same city.
"But that's not the end of it!" said Old Hill quickly.
Not done yet?
Gao Han was a little surprised.
'Two years later, Raul is 17 years old and has done well in the Real Madrid Academy, but he still has to wait for his chance, but it also gives us a chance. ”
"We found Raul's father, who is one of the most loyal Atletico Madrid fans in the family, and we convinced them to commit to a first-team place in Raul and to sign him to his first professional contract, which we hope will return to Atletico Madrid. ”
In Spain, players must be at least seventeen years old to sign a professional contract.
Of course, the youth team contracts signed before are not completely unenforceable.
But because of this, there has been a lot of conflict between Spain and even foreign teams.
The elder Hill took a deep breath and continued: "They were persuaded by us, but Real Madrid convinced Raul that they promised to give him more first-team appearances and sign a professional contract with a higher salary, so, he decided to stay. ”
After that, Baldano gave him the chance to make his senior debut, and he fought hard and made a name for himself. ”
Gao Han was a little silent.
From start to finish, it's hard to tell who's right and who's wrong.
In professional football, excellent stars are the most valuable resources, and in order to compete for these resources, the same thing is still happening even now.
Real Madrid did it, and Atletico Madrid did it.
The big team presses the big team, the big team presses the small team, and the small team goes to the lower teams, even the amateur teams.
Professional football has always been pyramid-shaped.
But he could also understand the grief and indignation in Old Hill's heart.
With the character of an old man, forcibly enduring this breath is enough for him, but the media outside does not know the specific situation, but they are spreading rumors over there, saying that Raul left Atletico Madrid because he disbanded the youth team and the like.
Especially as Raul's performance in Real Madrid is getting better and better, and even becoming the star of Spain, the media has slapped Old Hill in the face again and again, isn't this aggravating the hatred of the old man?
With his character, doesn't this regard Real Madrid as an undying mortal enemy?
But with his character, this kind of thing will never take the initiative to clarify.
But without clarification, in the eyes of the media, it is a tacit acquiescence, so it ......
Gao Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the world is impermanent!
I am afraid that back then, whether it was Atletico Madrid, or Real Madrid, or Raul's family, or even Raul himself, they never thought that they could have the status and achievements they have today.
Who would have wanted that?
After talking about Raul, old Hill was silent.
With cloudy eyes, he stared blankly ahead.
He shouldn't be looking at Real Madrid's Sports City, he wants to see Raul.
"My health is getting worse and worse, and my problems are getting worse day by day, and I have already walked through several trips before the ghost gate closes. ”
When Old Hill spoke again, his voice was a little weak.
At this moment, he was like a sick old man.
"I don't know how long I can last, maybe a week, maybe a month, or, with a little luck, a year, or even ......"
Old Hill shook his head at the end, "I don't dare to think about it." ”
At this moment, Gao Han saw fear in the look on his face.
"To be honest, I've lived this age, what storms haven't I experienced? I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid, and when I died, the fans of Atletico Madrid accused me of saying that it was he who brought down our team, and he was the sinner of our team!"
Gao Han was stunned.
"I've done a lot of things in my life, and a lot of them are definitely considered bad, but I don't want to be a sinner at Atletico Madrid, I don't want to leave this world with a sense of guilt and remorse. ”
Gao Han saw that the corners of his mouth were twitching constantly, as if he was crying silently and suppressedly.
At this moment, Gao Han really realized why he was so stubborn in the choice of head coach.
Perhaps, for him, it was not a manager, not a season, but a lifetime!
It is also now that Gao Han's originally uncomfortable heart suddenly brightened.
For Old Hill's belated choice, instead of complaining, he was more relieved and grateful.
"Okay, old man, don't be sensational, it's like life and death. ”
Gao Han cleaned up his mood and gently patted Old Hill on the shoulder.
"You, the most important thing now is to rest well, take care of your body, and turn back to the team to win the championship, you go up to receive the trophy!"
Gao Han said it arrogantly, and when Old Hill heard it, his eyes, which were originally cloudy and dull, lit up.
"I promise, as long as you believe me, I will help you bring Atletico Madrid back to the top, and even again!"
"You must have seen it that day!"
…………
…………
On the way back from the hospital, Gao Han didn't speak.
He was thinking about a lot of things, including what Hill Sr. had just said, and the upcoming new season.
Atletico Madrid's peak moment was the '95-'96 season, the double of La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
It's really interesting to say, Atletico Madrid has won nine La Liga titles and nine Copa del Rey titles in its history, but has never won a double except for the 95-96 season.
The two most influential trophies in Spain are magically staggered.
As for the European competition, it has not won the Champions League and the League Cup, only one has been canceled, and there is not much influence in the European Winners' Cup, if Gao Han is not mistaken, it should be the second Winners' Cup.
Compared with the city's sworn enemy, the world-famous Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid is indeed much bleaker.
Not only the honor, but even the team's finances, the Sheets Army is much inferior.
The team needs metabolism and fills holes everywhere, but the transfer budget is not much, after the introduction of Deco, there is only a budget of 10 million euros, enough to buy a few?
It seems that you have to start with a young general!
Gao Han had an idea in his heart.
There's no way, the team doesn't have money, so you have to think about the trick of not having money.
The introduction of young players around 20 years old, good quality and low price, plus the skill card of the coaching system, just can be used.
Moreover, Gao Han has a sharp eye, and there is no negotiation between people, plus the club has given rich additional rewards in promoting and cultivating young players, so it is quite cost-effective.
Thinking of this, Gao Han immediately took out his mobile phone and called Jorge Mendes first.
The Portuguese said before that he had prepared a list of some players, materials and videos, and asked Gao Han to help him look at them, analyze the abilities and conditions of these players, and now let him send them over.
He then called Paul Futtray and asked the scouting department to immediately compile a detailed list of goalkeepers and right-backs.
After the introduction of Deco, the midfield is no longer a big problem, but the goalkeeper and right-back have become the team's biggest hole.
Lin Xia listened to him on the phone while driving, but he also knew in his heart that the responsibility and pressure on Gao Han's shoulders were getting bigger and bigger.
In European professional football, transfers of millions or even more than 10 million euros are converted into RMB, which is more than 100 million.
But now it is completely up to Gao Han to make a decision, let me ask, can I have no responsibility? Can I not have pressure?
But she also knew that she really couldn't help him in these aspects, and all she could do was to support him in other aspects.
Just when Lin Xia took the opportunity to turn his head to look at Gao Han, Gao Han also raised his head to look at her.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the car window and sprinkled on their faces.
The two looked at each other and smiled. (To be continued.) )
