Bruce Barker, a well-known securities investment lawyer in the United States.

Long before Abramovich acquired Chelsea, he was already the Russians' royal investment consultant. This time, he also participated in the acquisition of Chelsea and dutifully safeguarded the interests of his employer.

After the acquisition was completed, he was appointed as Chelsea's chairman by Abramovich.

But this is the first time he has appeared at the Harrington training ground for so long.

From the time he entered the simple gate to the poor training facilities around him, he could not believe that this was the Chelsea training ground, and it was incredible that the team that the Blues had formed for 200 million euros this summer had to train in such a broken waste warehouse.

Fortunately, he saw Gao Han on the training ground, otherwise he would have suspected that he had taken the wrong path.

Accompanying him was his secretary, Duff Bernard.

The leader Mills kept waiting after receiving the notice, and as soon as he saw the car, he immediately came out.

After a wave of greetings, they all looked at the training ground.

"Is this the second training session?" asked Bruce Barker.

Mills shook his head, "No, three exercises a day are the physical reserve period. Now it has passed, the training intensity has been reduced, there is only two exercises a day. This is the morning training class, and there is another session in the afternoon."

"Oh." Bruce Buck finally understood something.

As an American, if he talks about football, he must be very knowledgeable, but when it comes to football, he doesn't know much about it. He just vaguely feels that Gao Han doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the training situation.

Soon, Gao Han called a pause and called everyone back to him.

"Zlatan, I have said many times, don't stick to the ball. Your task is to hold the ball and pass it out, not to show off your skills. You should know that we don't need this kind of show off."

"Also, Juan, you should be braver. Do you understand what I mean? Although I didn't let you do this, you should take the initiative to make some brave decisions based on the situation changes. I believe your decision, ok?"

"John, William, when Cloud presses on, you must follow us. The two full-backs should be in a position ahead, pay attention to helping us defend, do you understand?"

"I understand." The player replied in unison.

Gao Han looked at Ibrahimovic deeply. The Swedish center forward, who was only 21 years old, was unruly by nature and looked a little unconvinced. He couldn't help but smile.

"John, William, you're now going to the Yellow Team."

"All the players of the Yellow Team listen, I will give you a privilege. As long as Ibrahimovic gets the ball, you can do whatever you want, even kick him. As long as it is not a dangerous move, I will not call a foul."

"The same goes for the Red Team, Aryan Robben takes the ball, and they can do whatever they want."

Not to mention that all the players on the court were broken, even Mills on the sidelines and even Bruce Buck, the layman, were stunned. Is that okay?

"Boss, how can this be done?"

"This is unfair!"

Ibrahimovic and Robben protested in unison.

But Gao Han laughed at them, "Then don't give them a chance."

The two of them immediately had dark clouds on their faces. They looked at the group of bad-minded teammates beside them, and they knew what they were thinking without thinking.

Sure enough, after the two teams started training again, Ibrahimovic and Robben were both treated with special care, especially Ibrahimovic. With the joint care of two central defenders, Terry and Galas, the Swedish center almost suffered a lot.

The habit of playing football always makes him want to play with both hands as soon as he gets the ball, but as a result, Terry and Galas quickly lit up their soles, making others overturn their horses, and even kicked them several times.

Not only did the two central defenders do this, but other players also wanted to do this when they seized the opportunity.

This immediately gave Ibrahimovic a headache.

But the Swedish center is also very strong-willed and unyielding. He is fighting against the table with a tit-for-tat, which really gives him several beautiful performances and wins applause.

Even Gao Han had to nod and smile bitterly on the sidelines, "If this kid can practice, it will definitely be very terrifying."

With the body of the top high center but also the delicate skills that are no less than short players, Ibrahimovic is simply synonymous with the perfect center.

But his biggest problem now lies in his personality and his playing characteristics, which need to be improved.

"Carlos, find an opportunity to practice his shooting. I heard that when he was in Ajax, he learned half of his studies from Van Basten and could not give up halfway." Gao Han said.

How can this perfect center without outstanding shooting ability?

Cantalero was a little worried, "Will he have any objections?"

"Opinion?" Gao Han shook his head and laughed. "I told him when I was in the Netherlands that he still had to suffer some hardships if he wanted to become a top center, and he also said that he was not afraid of suffering. Now is the time for him to prove it. If he couldn't bear this little pain, he wouldn't be able to become a climate at all."

Cantalero thinks it makes sense.

Many people easily think that top professional players rely on talent, but in fact they are not.

It is hard-working and hardworking!

The European Professional League gathers the most outstanding talents in the world, and there are endless players with outstanding talents, but few can succeed. Even every league will have a group of young rookies every season, but in the end, only a handful of people can continue to succeed.

The final analysis is that it is far from enough to rely on talent to succeed. You still have to work hard and endure hardships.

What Gao Han is doing now is only relatively strict and has higher requirements for Ibrahimovic. If you can't stand this, then in the Premier League, your opponent's difficulties will be ten times more painful, or even a hundred times more difficult than now.

Now that the team is training, the players are still worried about it, but when they really get on the court, the opponent really wants to kill you.

So, Gao Han said this correctly.

Judging from the training ground, although Ibrahimovic was very angry, he seemed even more unconvinced.

This is a good phenomenon.

…………

…………

After a ninety-minute training session, everyone was exhausted, especially Ibrahimovic and Robben, who were often beaten with black feet, and their socks and jerseys were covered with grass and soil, which was very embarrassed.

Captain Terry also knows how to be a human being. He just got black feet on the training ground. Now after the training, he took the initiative to introduce the secret of healing to Ibrahimovic and Robben. The two are about the same age and seem to have some common topics.

Gao Han noticed Bruce Buck on the sidelines, said goodbye to the players, and walked out.

"What a wonderful and intense training." Bruce Buck smiled and greeted him.

"Thank you." Gao Han nodded and thanked.

The two walked side by side to the roadside, while the secretary Duff Bernard was a little behind them and did not disturb them.

"The boss called me and we must apologize to you about Trefou Bach, and I promise that the same thing will never happen again."

Trefo Boch bombarded Marklele's transfer, which was somewhat suspicious of shifting conflicts. This was his personal decision. The management did not participate or authorize it, and Gao Han also knew very well.

So, when the incident happened, he did not ask the management, but Bruce Buck and others were shocked, especially Abramovich called to inquire, which made them even more frightened.

Gao Han is undoubtedly the one with the greatest power in Chelsea.

Even the operations of many departments of the club were deeply influenced by him, and he was even the leader.

This also has something to do with the chaotic club management since the acquisition.

Abramovich invested 200 million euros in the team, and Gao Han was the core figure among them. The management naturally did not dare to be careless, so Bruce Buck was ordered to come over to explain and comfort him.

"Trefou Bach's contract is very troublesome, and there are several other senior executives in the same situation. We are also discussing solutions with them. I believe there will be an answer soon." Bruce Barker seemed to have a headache.

The acquisition is just the beginning, and subsequent restructuring and integration are the problem.

"I understand, don't worry about dealing with the Stamford Bridge, there will be no problem with Harrington." Gao Han said confidently.

"Okay, I'll feel relieved with you."

As the pre-season training deepened, Chelsea began to usher in a warm-up match.

Gao Han arranged a total of six warm-up matches this time, and in order to run-in the team, five of the six warm-up matches were from England's low-level league teams, and one was from Scotland's Celtics.

As the team with the largest recruitment efforts in the transfer market throughout the summer, with a total investment of 200 million euros. Chelsea's every move has attracted much attention from the British and even European media.

Fans around the world are also eagerly looking forward to it, wondering what Gao Han can make this 200 million legion look like.

In fact, Chelsea's debut really attracted attention.

Four to zero, the Blues beat the third-level team away from home, and even Gao Han couldn't name him.

The Blues firmly suppressed their opponents throughout the game, and the prototype of the pass-through and control system appeared faintly. The offense was also well-proportioned and had a lot of methods, which made the Blues fans excited.

But Gao Han publicly criticized the players' performance at the internal summary meeting after the game, expressing his dissatisfaction with the game process.

Just three days later, the team played another game, and this time it was a narrow victory of one to zero.

But interestingly, the outside media and fans are generally not satisfied with the team's performance and believe that the team has not really achieved their level, but Gao Han expressed that he was very satisfied at the summary meeting.

"Although we failed to create a threatening attack, we did a pretty good job of suppressing our opponents and passing and controlling the ball."

After a while, Chelsea played three warm-up matches in a row, both of which were good and bad, and their performance was ups and downs.

Until the sixth game, Chelsea finally ushered in a real opponent, the Celtics.

But as a result, Chelsea conceded the ball in the first half and fought back desperately in the second half. Finally, they relied on Ronaldinho and Terry's corner kicks to reverse the opponent 2-1.

If the previous few warm-up matches are acceptable, then the attitudes of the coaching staff, media and fans in this game are very consistent.

Oops!

Even Gao Han and the coaching staff have gradually realized a fatal problem they have overlooked over the past month.
Chapter completed!
