Chapter 832
Yesterday afternoon, Gao Han and Ferguson were both drunk.
When the Manchester United coach drank down, he felt happy because Gao Han gave him enough face.
Although Gao Han was dizzy when he was drinking, he still retained a little sober. He originally planned to help Ferguson back to the house, but at this time, Ferguson's younger brother Martin called, so he asked someone to take him home.
After seeing Ferguson off, Gao Han went back to the house to sleep soundly and slept until dawn. When he woke up, he felt dizzy and uncomfortable. When he recalled the drink last night, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I was bribed by a Ferguson meal.
As Ferguson said before, Scholes and Giggs will retire, but Manchester United has not yet found successors to these two veterans, so they have to stay with the team year by year and continue to shine.
In fact, if fans who have watched Manchester United's games carefully will know that once Scholes and Giggs are lost, Manchester United's offensive threat will be greatly reduced. After all, it is the ability to create opportunities in the midfield.
And this is Mkhitaryan's strength.
With the connection between the midfield and backcourt and the forward line, he can also drive the ball and attack, and has excellent passing ability, Mkhitaryan can indeed fill in the shortcomings in Manchester United's lineup, but the premise is that he must be able to adapt to the Premier League environment.
Gao Han is quite confident about this.
In fact, Ferguson had already consciously started to train the successors of Scholes and Giggs a few years ago. In the summer of 2007, he introduced Nani from Sporting Lisbon for 20 million euros and Brazilian young player Anderson from Porto for 25 million euros, for this purpose.
But a few years have passed, and the development of these two young players is far from meeting Ferguson's expectations at that time, which is a big regret. The poor training of these two young players has also caused the current passiveness of Manchester United's midfielder.
Gao Han once discussed this with Ferguson, and he believed that the problem with Anderson and Nani was still with them.
Many people often confuse European professional leagues, but in fact they are not.
The four major leagues have different styles, but one thing is certain, that is, the tactical discipline is very high. Even in Spain, which claims to be the most advocating offensive football, the Premier League has also had higher and higher requirements for players' tactical discipline in recent years.
In contrast, other leagues such as the Portuguese Super League, Ligue 1, and Eredivisie are relatively weak in tactical discipline, which creates a very interesting phenomenon, that is, some players shine in the Portuguese Super League, Ligue 1 and Eredivisie League, and defeat all sides, but they immediately become sluggish after entering the top league. In the final analysis, they are unable to adapt to the tactical discipline of the top league.
For example, when many people talk about Mikel, they often say that he was trashed by Mourinho.
Although Gao Han and Mourinho are not very close, they also think that the Portuguese madman is wronged.
It should be said that Mikel was indeed much better than his peers when he was young, but more in terms of physical fitness, but his personal technical ability was not very good. This made him lose his own advantages after entering the Premier League and exposed potential flaws. Without absolute strength to stand in the midfield and frontcourt, he could only be forced to retreat.
When he retreated and dragged the midfield, he had to appropriately strengthen his running and defensive ability, which forced him to change his original playing style and characteristics, and even give up some advantages, and finally develop into his current appearance.
The same is true for Anderson and Robinho.
A young player is a new player who comes to a brand new environment and needs to adapt again, and inevitably needs to learn something new or give up some original things.
Anderson and Robinho, two Brazilian players, have improved their technical and tactical qualities and tactical discipline while adapting to the top European leagues, but at the same time, they are gradually losing, or being erased from their original advantages and characteristics.
This is an inevitable process.
It's like Cristiano Ronaldo, coached by Gao Han.
During his time at the Portuguese Super League, he had a fancy style and amazing dribbling ability. However, under Gao Han's training, he gradually adapted to Atletico Madrid's tactical discipline, but he did not lose his own life, but made it more practical and concise, and with his outstanding speed, it became more threatening.
Later, after entering the Serie A, he further adapted to the training of the Serie A, improved his tactical qualities, and began to temper his scoring ability. Now he has begun to transform himself into a world-class scorer.
If you want to live under your feet, Cristiano Ronaldo can still play well now, but he doesn't have to do this at all, because the role he plays on the court can't use these, so many people feel that his scoring ability is improving, but his technical ability is deteriorating.
It is precisely because of this that training young players often requires a lot of risks and the success rate is very low.
But the difference between Mkhitaryan and Anderson and Nani is that Chinatown itself is playing in La Liga, and the tactics created by Gao Han and Pochettino for Chinatown are also very disciplined. Therefore, since Mkhitaryan can perform well in Chinatown, it will definitely not be bad in the Premier League.
Gao Han and Chinatown were also prepared for selling Mkhitaryan, but the price must be negotiated carefully.
Just imagine, Manchester United spent 25 million euros to buy Anderson, and it was a risky investment. So now I want to buy Mkhitaryan, who has experienced the test of four major leagues and has a high-altitude halo, and is it reasonable to ask for more money?
Gao Han clearly distinguished such things. Private relationships are private relationships, but no penny can be left.
What's more, for Manchester United, millions are just a small amount, but for Chinatown, it is a huge number.
…………
…………
After Gao Han decided to sell Ferguson's face and sold Mkhitaryan to Manchester United, he immediately called Armando Marcos, Cantalero and head coach Pochettino to talk about this matter. After obtaining their consent, Manchester United's first offer was quickly delivered to Chinatown.
Manchester United's first offer reached a high price of 30 million euros, showing Manchester United's sincerity.
Armando Marcos officially notified Mkhitaryan's agent Mendes that the Portuguese would come forward to deal with it, but the asking price for Chinatown was obviously higher than that given by Manchester United, and the two sides urgently needed to negotiate.
Soon, Spanish media revealed that Manchester United's David Gill appeared in Madrid and met with Chinatown general manager Armando Marcos, and the two sides discussed Mkhitaryan's transfer.
The news immediately ignited the dull summer market. Although the first negotiation failed to give a result, it still made everyone feel excited.
When the media revealed that Manchester United asked Chinatown to introduce Mkhitaryan, Manchester City's summer recruitment also came out one after another.
As early as March, Manchester City had already started contacting Southampton and Ajax. As soon as the season ended, the two sides immediately began substantial negotiations. When Gao Han made a decision, the two signings were confirmed.
Manchester City first introduced Feltonheng from Ajax, and the left-footed central defender spent 10 million euros on the Blue Moon, which was somewhat of a premium, and then introduced Adam Larana from Southampton for 2 million pounds.
Once these two transfers were disclosed, they immediately caused a huge response in the English football world. No one expected that Manchester City would suddenly introduce two unknown players, not very old.
In response, Manchester City general manager Paul Footrey said that the team and coaching staff are very optimistic about the strength and potential of these two players, and believe that their arrival can make up for the gap in Manchester City's current lineup to the greatest extent.
After announcing the introduction of two players, Manchester City soon announced the transfer results again.
The team introduced disaster star Gareth Bale and 16-year-old Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur for a £3 million increase, while the North London team also announced the introduction of Cole Luca, and announced the introduction of Van der Fate from Real Madrid for £8 million.
The transactions between the two teams made many people puzzled, and everyone was surprised by Gao Han's transfer operation this summer, because he was completely opposite to last summer, and he was all introducing a group of young players who were not very famous.
Before the team's training camp, Manchester City announced its fifth signing this summer, using two players Stephen Ireland and Richard Dunn to increase the price by 10 million pounds to introduce midfielder James Milner from Aston Villa.
Milner can be called a top Premier League player. He is young but has great strength. He performed very well in Aston Villa. Manchester City used two players to introduce him with 10 million pounds, which is regarded as a very cost-effective signing.
After announcing the transfer results to the public one after another, five new players from Manchester City also came to Manchester one after another.
Gao Han was in Manchester and had open and honest conversations with every player, explaining to them his positioning of their team and his future plans. Among them, although Harry Kane was only sixteen years old, he was arranged by Gao Han to follow the first team to Dublin for training, and the young player Sterling was also accompanied by young player.
After five players passed the club's physical examination, Manchester City held a press conference at the city stadium, announcing the jersey numbers of the five new players. Head coach Gao Han attended the scene in person and accepted media interviews.
Gao Han said that he had chosen all of them himself. He believed that these five players could bring new positive changes to the team and enhance the team's lineup thickness and lasting competitiveness.
"As I said after the FA Cup final last season, I think we have the strength to challenge the Champions League, but it's not enough on our roster last season, so we need to sign ups, and I think all five players will contribute to the team on our way to the championship."
"I know, some of them are not famous enough, and some may not even be known, but I want to remind everyone to remember them."
When Gao Han said this, he smiled and reached out to sweep the five players behind him, and introduced the favorites he had chosen to everyone. "Believe me, it won't take long to get to know them again. Each of them has the amazing strength and potential, I promise!"
Gao Han's words shocked all the media reporters present, but at the same time, the five players standing behind him were very proud. They felt that their blood was about to boil, full of strength and fighting spirit.
