Super Marshal

The next morning, when Pochettino arrived at the Chinatown training base, he found that the boss Gao Han, general manager Armando Marcos, and technical director Cantarello were already waiting for him in the office, which caught the Argentines by surprise.

But more accidents, and even an ominous premonition.

He still remembers clearly that the last time three people appeared at the same time was before Diego Costa's transfer. What about this time?

"What's the matter?" Pochettino asked, frowning.

Cantarello turned his head to look at Gao Han and Armando Marcos, but found that the two did not accept the move. There is no way. As the technical director, he can only bite the bullet and accept Pochettino's inquiry.

"Last night, on our way back to Madrid from Barcelona, ​​we received a call from Hill."

Pochettino's face changed and he screamed as expected, but he quickly squeezed a bitter smile, "Who does he want?"

One sentence exposed Pochettino's helplessness, or should be said to be the helplessness of the entire Chinatown.

In fact, since his decision to support the team to build a new stadium, Pochettino has been very aware of what kind of embarrassing situation he will face in the next few years. From the club level, such a management method is understandable, and it can even be said to be. A very wise choice, but for a head coach, it was a disaster.

From Falcao and Ramirez, to Mkhitaryan and Diego Costa, Chinatown has sent away the core players in the team for two consecutive transfer periods, and each time it can be said to be the impact of injury. .

Of course, the team’s transfer income is very generous, and it has received ample funds to invest in the construction of the new stadium. At the same time, it is also increasing its efforts to improve the treatment of players and coaching staff. These are obvious signs of the team’s progress, but as a team The coach, Pochettino obviously wants more than money and fame, he wants a real result.

Relying on Gao Han’s outstanding vision and Chinatown’s convincing scouting system, Chinatown will be able to quickly find suitable substitute candidates every time the core team is sent away, and maintain the team’s competitiveness through appropriate tactical adjustments. Let the team's overall strength rise instead of falling.

But this is obviously not the path to results. Everyone knows that the only way to achieve results is stability.

What's more, who can guarantee that the next signings will continue to be so successful?

The three Gao Han also understood Pochettino's embarrassment very well, but this time it was really difficult to handle.

There is an old Chinese saying that is right, the most difficult thing to pay back is the favor.

Gao Han set up Chinatown in the past, thanks to the strong support of Atletico Madrid. Although the Bedsheets Corps was dropped into the second league, the foundation is still there and it is of great help to Chinatown. Even afterwards, a group of youth training players will be arranged every year. It can be said that Chinatown can be upgraded every year, and Atletico Madrid has contributed a lot to it.

If you don't talk far away, just talk about the nearest.

The current team captain Marcos Senna was dug by Chinatown from Atletico Madrid. Under the circumstances at the time, it would be impossible for any other team to dug Marcos Senna, but Gao Han came forward and added Marcos. · Senna agrees, so Atletico Madrid will give the green light.

As everyone saw, Marcos Senna quickly became a vital midfielder in Chinatown.

In addition to Marcos Senna, Diego Costa was also half-buy and half-delivered by Atletico Madrid, so that after Chinatown sent the player to Real Madrid, it also provoked a complaint call from Hill, after all, Chinatown Selling Diego Costa to the rival of Atletico Madrid is indeed a bit unkind.

However, after Gao Han's explanation, Xiao Hill also understood Gao Han's difficulties.

Since this season, Atletico Madrid's performance has not been ideal. At present, La Liga is ranked fifth. This is the ranking improved after two consecutive victories, and it was worse before, mainly due to the team's midfield loss.

Many veterans of the alpine period, including Cedou Keita, are gradually coming to the end of their careers. Although Gabi can still provoke the backbone, the metabolism of the midfielder is also on the agenda, and the start of the season is not. Ideals directly sounded the alarm.

Torres, Villa and Navas are in the frontcourt, while Srner, Ramos and Antonio Lopez are garrisoned in the back. Only the midfielder is the only one. Gaby and Cedu Keita are somewhat difficult to support on their own.

Over the years, Atletico Madrid has sold people every year and created new stadiums, but it has also left the team a little bit distracted.

Some media previously revealed that the goal of Atletico Madrid's signings is Schalke's zero four Croatian midfielder Rakitic.

This player was once a hot talent rookie in European football, but after joining Schalke 04, his development has not been as expected, especially under the new coach Magat, Rakitic regardless of his performance on the court. , Or the situation within the team is very bad, has made it clear that it will not renew the contract with the club.

The contract between the Croatian midfielder and Schalke 04 will expire in June 2011, so the transfer fee will not be expensive. So far, it has been received by Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Juventus, Naples and Inter Milan and many other teams are concerned, but as far as Gao Han knows, most of them are just on the sidelines.

For this former talented rookie, no one is sure, and his performance in Schalke Zero Four is not ideal, God knows whether he can adapt to the new stadium, this is very bad for Atletico Madrid, after all, the sheets are in urgent need. There is no reason to take such unknown risks.

Therefore, after discussion and research, Atletico Madrid finally decided to target Schneiderlin in Chinatown.

The 21-year-old French midfielder is a very optimistic player for Simeone. He has both offensive and defensive capabilities, has a good foot life, excellent running ability, large coverage area, high tactical execution ability, and very good back-in ability. He has performed very well in La Liga for two consecutive seasons, especially this season, he has made rapid progress.

Compared to Rakitic, Schneiderlin's advantage is that his strength is unquestionable and he can adapt to the tactical environment of La Liga and Atletico Madrid. It is also hand-picked by coach Simeone and integration is not a problem. The disadvantage is that the transfer fee is more expensive.

This should have caused Atletico Madrid the most headache, but after the team moved into a new stadium, consecutively entered the Champions League, and the income has increased significantly, it is no longer a problem.

"The relationship between our team and Atletico Madrid, I believe you also know that Hill personally called me, we really can not refuse." Cantarello also very frankly told the team's difficulties.

Of course Pochettino knows that Chinatown owes Atletico Madrid too much. It does not mean that they have to let the other party take it, but at the level of the relationship between the two teams. Chinatown should indeed pull Atletico Madrid now. A handful.

What's more, the other party is also willing to give enough transfer fees.

"I understand the difficulties of the team, but you should also know that after Ramirez is gone, Schneiderlin played a very important role in the midfield, and his performance was very good. James Rodriguez himself His defensive ability is not strong, Marcos Senna is not young, if we let Schneiderlin now, what about the midfield defensive interception?"

Cantarello nodded, this is indeed a big problem.

From the away game against Barcelona, ​​it is not difficult to see that Schneiderlin’s role in the team is very obvious. The team can suppress Barcelona in the first 50 minutes, Schneiderlin’s running and defensive interceptions in the midfield Vital.

Herrera's performance this season is also very good. Although more rotations, the number of assists in the team is second only to James Rodriguez and Hazard. His characteristics are similar to Schneiderlin. different.

What's more, even if Herrera replaces Schneiderlin, the midfielder will definitely have to sign in again. The first team's Cork, Isco and Verratti are all 18 years old, and Pogba is only 17 years old. , These teenagers are OK when they come off the bench to exercise, but if they take turns, it's absolutely choking.

When everyone thought of this, they also felt a headache, and turned their heads to look at Gao Han.

But when they found that they were overwhelmed by their thoughts, Gao Han was reading the materials Cantarero brought by him leisurely.

As the technical director of the team, Cantarello learned lessons from Diego Costa’s transfer, and has reserved enough candidates for each position on the team. Once the player transfers, he It will be able to determine the target at the first time and put it into operation.

It's only November, and Atletico Madrid is calling Chinatown at this time, which means that regardless of whether the transfer is traded or not, both sides can make adequate preparations as soon as possible, so as not to be in a hurry and affect the team's results.

"By the way, what do you think?" Cantarello asked Gao Han.

Gao Han raised his head and looked at the people in front of him. He suddenly smiled and said, "Sell it."

"Really sell?" Cantarello confirmed further.

Gao Han nodded and looked at Armando Marcos, "You are responsible for talking to Atletico Madrid, trying to negotiate a good price, but don't embarrass them too much, consider each other's love."

That is, Atletico Madrid came to the door. If it was another team, Gao Han would definitely grab the broom and go out.

However, for the bed sheet army, Gao Han has never been able to refuse, and his debts are hard to pay.

But it’s only limited to this time. I believe that Little Hill himself knows that if he is not a last resort, he will definitely not come to the door. And this time, if you sell Schneiderlin to them, it will be difficult to come again next time. Using the same emotional offensive, this can be regarded as a piece of heart disease for Chinatown.

Since sooner or later, you have to pay it back, it might as well take advantage of the other party's initiative to pay it back.

"Mauricio." Gao Han looked at Pochettino again and shook a piece of material in his hand. "I already have a suitable candidate. Although his characteristics are different from Schneiderlin, I promise. Compared with Schneiderlin, his strength is only strong but not weak, his characteristics will be more in line with our team, and the midfield role will be greater."

"Of course, if you make a decision now ~www.readwn.com~ the team will start operations as soon as possible, and strive to win before Christmas, let him participate in the team's winter break training, I believe you will feel this Satisfied, and there is enough time to prepare."

Gao Han is the best coach in his own right, and he considers issues very well. After listening to Pochettino, he also felt that such a treatment could minimize the impact of the team. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.

Pochettino still believes in the eyes of the players that Gao Han looks for.

When the team let go of Diego Costa, Pochettino was very hesitant and worried at one time, but then Alpine advocated the introduction of Mi Chu and discussed the tactics with Pochettino. As a result, everyone saw it and Mi Chu jumped. Become one of the most eye-catching stars in La Liga this season and the team's top scorer this season.

Now that Gao Han said so again, it must be very sure, so Pochettino no longer insisted.

"By the way, who are you after?" Cantarello asked concerned.
