The Dorchester Hotel is located on the east side of Hyde Park and is famous for meeting Eisenhower here during World War II.

The Alan Dukas restaurant in the hotel is one of the most prestigious restaurants in London.

Here, guests can leisurely enjoy the delicious food provided by the restaurant while admiring the beautiful Hyde Park scenery without blind spots. This is an irresistible temptation for anyone.

At lunch, Gao Han was in the luxurious box of the Alan Dukas restaurant. Accompanied by his agent Jorge Mendes, he met the legendary Abramovich for the first time.

The rich Russian man did not come alone. He brought his friend Pini Zahavi, investment consultant Kesh Harris, right-hand man Marina Granovskia, and assisted him in acquiring the team. He is now the chairman of Chelsea. Bruce Buck.

A group of people in the box, enjoying the lunch in the restaurant with the beautiful scenery of Hyde Park outside the window.

From seeing the first side, Abramovich gave Alpine the feeling of being a courteous English gentleman.

But as Mendes said before, he has been deliberately concealing his intriguing aura.

Every Russian oligarch was fought out in a sea of ​​swords and guns, and was a powerful faction of killing and decisiveness.

It is said that when Abramović decided to acquire Chelsea, it only took a total of 20 minutes to negotiate, which shows its courage, but because of the rush, many details were not handled properly, leaving Chelsea’s former chairman Bates secretly pitted. A handful.

For example, Chelsea can only play in the UEFA Cup in the new season, the sudden transfer of Hasselbaink and Glenshire, and Chelsea are said to have a hidden debt in addition to a debt of 80 million pounds.

But as Mendes said, this kind of thing is too common in the Premier League, which is good at playing with capital.

What's more, for a rich man at the level of Abramovich, it is not a problem at all.

"Mr. Gao Han, I believe that Jorge should have already mentioned specific things to you. Please rest assured that the management and I will unconditionally support your coaching in the team, and you will be fully responsible for the transfer operation of the team. , Others will help."

Abramovich made a loud promise in person.

This relieved Gao Han, "Thank you."

"It's almost July now, I want to know, do you have any specific ideas?"

When Abramovich asked, several other people in the box suddenly looked over.

"Of course." Gao Han nodded, "I have a preliminary understanding of the team's situation. I hope to streamline the team's current lineup, and then introduce targeted support to enhance the team's strength."

Abramovich nodded, "How are you going to deal with some of the stars in the team?"

As soon as the Russian spoke, Marina Granovsky, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative, "Romain means that players such as Zola, Desaelli and Pettit are all heroes and veterans of the team. We are also a famous European star. Should we try our best to keep it?"

Gao Han understands the meaning. Abramovich wants to build a star-studded team, similar to Real Madrid, all stars, so he wants to keep these old stars.

But this is obviously not in line with Alpine's idea of ​​forming a team.

"I don't think so." Gao Han shook his head politely. "I think what we need is a competitive team."

After a pause, Gao Han saw that Abramovich and others didn't make any comments, so he continued.

"In the past few years, I believe everyone is familiar with Chelsea's situation. We have introduced many European stars and veterans. This is indeed a great help to Chelsea, but the problem is also more serious, because we all know that the veterans have experience. Rich, but difficult to compete in the Premier League with such fierce competition. Maintain your level and form throughout the season." Dan Xiu Zhi Ji gl

"We Chinese have an old saying that soldiers are expensive and not too expensive, so my idea is to streamline the team's lineup, to send players who do not meet the team's development in the next two years, to leave the team, and to introduce high-level players. , To improve the competitiveness of the team in the shortest possible time to meet the requirements of the Premier League and the European arena in the new season."

Although Gao Han's remarks conflicted with Abramovich's ideas, they were also reasonable.

After the Russian listened, he didn't think much about it, and he nodded and agreed.

"Then what do you think of Shevchenko and Henry?"

Gao Han smiled slightly, "They are the top scorers in the world, and it is difficult for any coach to refuse."

The Russian smiled slightly, "I am very familiar with Shevchenko. If I come forward and invite him to Chelsea, there should be no problem. As for Henry..."

"I can test Arsenal's intentions." Pini Zahavi offered to offer.

Gao Han looked at the two people in front of him, nodded and smiled: "I think it’s harder to persuade Arsenal to let Henry go. As for Shevchenko... Frankly speaking, after a serious injury last season, I was very I wonder if he will be able to return to the top."

In fact, even in the Champions League final, Ancelotti chose Grand Inzaghi instead of Shevchenko.

And it turns out that Inzaghi's performance throughout the season is indeed better than Shevchenko.

With Shevchenko’s technical characteristics, injuries have a great impact on him, while the English Premier League and Serie A have completely different characteristics. Gao Han is a little worried. Even if Shevchenko is willing to transfer, I am afraid that he will be difficult to come to the Premier League Reappearing the style of Serie A.

Of course, at his level, he is always a superstar wherever he goes.

Abramovich heard the overtones of Alpine, "Then what do you mean?"

"Instead of spending time on superstars, it would be better to bring in players who are capable and easier to operate and avoid recurring the mistakes of Real Madrid last season."

In the summer transfer period of last season, Real Madrid focused all of its attention on Ronaldo, instead of ignoring the signings in the midfield and defense, which directly led to the team's poor performance throughout the season.

Finally, it was the winter break and the introduction of Woodgate, the team's performance stabilized, but as a result, the England central defender was a glass man, and the Madrid derby was injured during the war and directly ruined the entire season.

Even in the early part of the season, it is still unknown whether it can make a smooth comeback.

Abramovich was serious about Gao Han, and after listening, he nodded and agreed on the spot.

"Well, the operation of the transfer market this summer will be fully delegated to you, and all of us will listen to you."

As soon as the boss expressed his opinion, everyone else followed suit.

"Then rest assured, I guarantee that Chelsea will become the most competitive team in the Premier League in the new season."

"Haha, well, I never doubt your strength!"

…………

"His ambition is really great."

On the way back to the Ritz Hotel after leaving the Dorchester Hotel, Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"We need Real Madrid's star lineup and Atletico Madrid's results..."

Gao Han sighed slightly, "How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Mendes drove in the driver's seat, and smiled after listening: "Didn't he listen to you in the end?" Nine Dragons Godding

Gao Han nodded, and Abramovich was indeed free from advice.

"By the way, Pini Zahavi just handed me a list of players. You can check it out if you have time."

Mendes pointed to a dark document in the back row. "He and Abramovich are friends, and the latter will come to the Premier League to buy the team. It is from his suggestion that he is very good to Abramovich. Influence, if you can..."

Mendes did not finish speaking, but the meaning was clear.

Pini Zahavi is an agent with a simple purpose, to make money.

Chelsea rushed to sign in. If he didn't get a share of the pie, it wouldn't be justified anyway.

Judging from his influence on Abramovich, such a person is best not to offend easily, and to comfort him if he can.

"I understand, I will look back." Gao Han nodded.

Mendes also understood Gao Han, "You should understand that this is London, Chelsea is not Atletico Madrid, and even, to some extent, this is the normal working environment of a European coach."

Gao Han understands.

European professional football is like a vanity fair, mixed with all kinds of interest demands, there are players, agents, management, investors, fans...

As the team's head coach, it can be said that almost all interests are the focus of appeal.

This requires the head coach to fully consider the interests of all parties in order to stabilize the situation and allow the team to play its strongest strength in a stable environment and atmosphere.

"Is there anything I can help?" Mendes asked concerned.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Almost the entire reconstruction and revival of Chelsea are now being pressured by Gao Han. Although the power is great, the pressure is equally astonishing.

Gao Han thought for a while, "The team's right back needs signings. You help me run to Portugal."

"Paul Ferreira?" Mendes immediately thought of the player.

Gao Han has noticed Paul Ferreira for two or three years. Since he was in Setúbal, Mendes introduced him to Gao Han~lightnovelpub.net~ but because of Dario Srner and Roberto, so Alpine did not bring in Ferreira.

Last summer, Ferreira moved to Porto from Setúbal and performed very well. He successfully helped Porto win the Portuguese Super League and also won the UEFA Cup. The improvement was very obvious.

So, Gao Han meant to take him to Stamford Bridge.

Mendes is Ferreira's agent, and I believe that as long as the money is given, Porto will not have a big problem.

Chelsea's right back is a pit, and Alpine hopes Ferreira can fill it.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." As long as it is a profitable business, Mendes runs faster than anyone else.

Gao Han thought for a while, "I plan to go back to Madrid, so you can arrange it for me by the way."

"Atletico Madrid?"

"Well, also, I plan to meet Aragones."

When he first arrived, Gao Han felt that he still had to have familiar players in the team to use them smoothly. Therefore, it is inevitable to introduce players to Atletico Madrid.

Anyway, Atletico Madrid needs to sell players in exchange for cash. Instead of selling to others, it is better to sell it to Gao Han.

At the very least, in terms of transfer fees, Gao Han must be sufficient.

As for the meeting with Aragones, Gao Han wanted to talk to him about the future of a player.

I just hope this old man won't be too stubborn!
