Entering the 21st century, with the popularity of the Internet, especially the development of mobile Internet, professional football has also undergone earth-shaking changes. For example, more and more fans have begun to watch live games on their mobile phones, which was unimaginable in the past.

Copyright sales in the Premier League, mobile and other platforms are also developing rapidly.

As a new human being, Gao Han is most optimistic about the mobile Internet, so he has vigorously promoted Chinatown to make efforts in this regard from the beginning. Chinatown has its own official website since its establishment, and later entered the blog. Now the club's official Twitter has been updated and maintained by dedicated people, and its attention is top in the sports industry.

Last year, China Weibo began to rise, and Chinatown followed the market trend, and the club's branch in China officially settled on Weibo. Now it has a large number of fans and pays great attention to management. The club previously announced the transfer of Mkhitaryan, and Weibo is one of the official announcement platforms.

Not only the club operation and marketing, but also the establishment of the scouting system, Gao Han is also very willing to invest in this regard. It took him ten years to create a very complete scouting system for Chinatown, spread all over the world.

Because he is very clear that with the advancement of technology, the youth training in European football will also undergo earth-shaking changes, especially in the selection of materials, it is almost difficult to reappear the past as a ghost. All young players are basically around thirteen, four or five years old. As long as they nod their heads a little, they will be targeted immediately.

If it is a little better, countless European clubs will immediately come. As long as the truly talented players are generally not wrong or omissions, so the competition for youth training talents is also very fierce.

From the moment Gao Han decided to characterize Chinatown's operations in Porto and Lyon-style black store models, Chinatown's focus was on plundering a group of young players who were thirteen, four or five years old, or younger, but already budding.

Introduce them to the team, train them, enter the first team, train them to become talented, and then sell them at a high price.

This is the way to survive in Chinatown in the next few years.

Of course, the only difference is that Gao Han has the help of a keen eye, and selecting talents will have more advantages than others.

Not to mention the others, just about scouts. Almost every full-time scout who signs a contract with the club is selected by Gao Han himself, and at least he is the best in selecting players.

So every year, Chinatown’s genius day selection will be a continuous supply of scouts from all over the world.

Judging from recent years, Spain, Germany and France have emerged in many talents, but German players are generally unwilling to go abroad, so Chinatown really failed to attract German rookies in this regard.

But after ten years of development, Chinatown's youth training has gradually entered a virtuous cycle, especially after Cantalero was in charge, Gao Han didn't need to worry too much.

On the contrary, the first team is more troublesome.

…………

The Aldevilla Stadium has been demolished and the plot is being leveled. At the same time, the construction project tender is also being launched.

As Vice Chief Li said before, one of the top construction companies in China is very interested in this project, and the quotes they gave are much lower than those in European construction companies, so Chinatown also tends toward Chinese companies.

But there are still some procedures and time.

Gao Han suddenly returned to Madrid and urgently notified General Manager Armando Marcos and head coach Pochettino to have a meeting, which really surprised both of them and had a vague ominous premonition.

When he arrived at the training base, as soon as he entered the conference room and closed the door, Gao Han spread his hands and shook his head at Pochettino helplessly.

"Sorry, Maolicio, Florentino called me personally, and I had to give him face."

The Argentine coach's face changed, and he was obviously angry, but then he smiled helplessly.

Florentino called himself, who could not give him face?

Unless Gao Han really wants to break up with Florentino, he can only talk to him well. If the chips he gave were good enough, he would really be unable to refuse.

And it is not worth it to tear apart with Florentino for Diego Costa.

At least, it is not cost-effective to consider it from the perspective of Chairman of Chinatown.

"He said that he was willing to pay a penalty of 50 million euros for Diego Costa. I really couldn't come up with a reason to refuse him, so I agreed directly." Gao Han looked apologetic, very sincere and frank.

Pochettino asked himself about the termination fee of 50 million euros, but he could not refuse it.

What's more, now everyone knows that Chinatown is short of money for the new stadium.

"I don't understand why he suddenly wanted Diego Costa. It wasn't it been rumored that he wanted Dzeko?" Pochettino was a little angry. It was not targeting Gao Han, but Real Madrid.

Faced with such rich and powerful poaching, anyone would be a little angry.

"Indeed, I asked him, and he told me that it had nothing to do with the price, mainly because he and Real Madrid would not accept anyone's coercion, so he would rather spend 50 million euros to buy Diego Costa than spend 60 million euros to buy Dzeko."

After Gao Han finished speaking, he felt a little funny.

Florentino and Real Madrid have always claimed to be the nobles of European football, and are arrogant and have introduced superstar players. Players like Dzeko were not favored by Real Madrid. The Galaxy Battleships should pursue superstars like Rooney, Drogba, Diego Milito and Adriano.

But there is no way, the superstar cannot be dug up, and Real Madrid can only settle for the second best. But unexpectedly, he even had a profiteer like Hones, who actually wanted to raise the price and wanted to treat Real Madrid as a sucker.

For Florentino, it doesn't matter if you buy it expensive, but you must not let others tease you like this.

So, he immediately shifted his goal, and would rather buy Diego Costa by paying the termination fee than spend more money to buy Dzeko. The purpose is to tell everyone that we are not short of money, just to make an excuse.

Whether it is buying Diego Costa for 50 million or Dzeko for 60 million, it should be said that the premium is very high. However, in comparison, Real Madrid prefers Diego Costa. Not only does it have a smooth tone, but it also has a halo bonus of high aura, and it is also a player Mourinho selected. It is a happy thing.

As for Florentino's intention to call Gao Han and seek Gao Han's consent, it was ultimately due to the taxes and fees on the termination fee clause.

If Real Madrid wants to pay a termination fee to Diego Costa, the process should be that Real Madrid first deposits the money into Diego Costa’s account, and then Diego Costa makes a redemption contract request to Chinatown and pays the termination fee in the contract terms.

But there is a problem with this, because according to Spanish tax regulations, tax is required to be paid for using the termination clause.

The Basque Country has the lowest tax rate, only 29%, Catalonia is 56%, and Madrid is divided into individuals and enterprises. The former is 53%, and the latter is 57%.

In other words, if Real Madrid colludes with Diego Costa to initiate the termination clause, based on the termination fee of 50 million euros, Real Madrid will have to pay nearly 30 million euros in taxes.

But if Chinatown is convinced not to take the termination fee model, but to buy Diego Costa for a transfer fee of 50 million euros, it will be able to avoid this heavy tax.

This is why Florentino personally called Gao Han.

Before, Chelsea poached Falcao and Ramirez, and also negotiated with Chinatown through Mendes, and eventually bought the two players through transfer fees, rather than the real termination clause.

But no matter what, the quotation of 50 million euros is already a very high premium for Diego Costa. Even if Pochettino is reluctant to let it go, he has to admit that he would agree if he changed himself.

After all, with these 50 million euros and Mkhitaryan's 40 million euros, Chinatown has too many things to do.

The only trouble is that after Diego Costa left the team, Pochettino's offensive combination that had been running in for more than a month before the season was broken up again, how could he lead the team to play?

What's more, it's almost mid-August now, and there is not much time left for the team to prepare. Where can I find Diego Costa's successor?

"During this summer training camp, I brought two players, Morata and Hesse, to the training camp. They performed well, but I don't think they can take the lead in the team's forward line. They are still too young and Aubameyang can also play in the middle, but it's not possible to rely on him alone. Selling Diego Costa is not a problem, the question is how to play in the new season?"

Pochettino can understand the club's difficulties, but as the team's head coach, he also has his own difficulties.

He must consider the team's performance.

The eighth place in the league last season made Chinatown famous and also made him Pochettino famous. So he was ambitious to go further in the new season, especially the main central defenders Otamendi and Aldevelde announced that they would stay in the team, which gave him confidence and confidence.

But unexpectedly, there was only half a month left before the start of the league, but the main center was about to transfer and leave the team. This...

Also as a head coach, Gao Han can definitely understand Pochettino's mood and depression at this moment.

According to the Argentine coach's plan before the season, he will continue to use the lineup from the second half of last season, with Aubameyang and Diego Costa as the double striker. After the summer training preparations, he chose to arrange James Rodriguez as the team's midfielder to form a combination of the frontcourt trident.

There is no way to do this. After Mkhitaryan left the team, players such as Hazard, James Rodriguez, De Bruyne, Firmino and Isco could all play in this position. These teenagers who are 10** years old can completely compete.

But now with Diego Costa leaving the team, the most important pillar has been lost in the frontcourt, and the offensive combination that Pochettino practiced and trained before the game has been obviously scrapped.

At least, no one in the team can hold up Diego Costa's position.

Even if it is a transfer signing, where can we introduce a player exactly like Diego Costa?

"The technical department also paid attention to several players before, including La Liga and other leagues. One or two players are very suitable for the team's style of playing, but now time is too haste, so it may be a bit troublesome to operate." Technical director Cantalero sighed.

He did have the plan ready, but Diego Costa’s transfer was too sudden.

Gao Han waved at Pochettino comfortably, signaling him not to be anxious.

"Actually, I have a very suitable candidate here. Why don't you listen to my thoughts?"
