Super Marshal
Chapter 360: Let's wait and see!
Even though it has been a year since he came to Eindhoven, Hans is still not familiar with the road here.
He goes to the Philips Stadium every two weeks, but almost every time something goes wrong, every time he makes a mistake, he laughs bitterly and says, "I'm from Groningen."
Fortunately, everyone got used to his road blindness and always reminded him to go out earlier to avoid being late.
Just like today, they went out ten minutes early, and at an intersection near the Philips Stadium, they turned in the wrong direction, and after detouring for a while, they finally arrived at the stadium earlier than the scheduled time.
"Huh, I found that I can catch up with you more and more, Arjan." Hans just parked the car in the parking space and smiled proudly at his son sitting next to him.
Robben just recovered from the nervousness, unfastened his seat belt, nodded to his father, and got out of the car.
As the home stadium of Eindhoven, the Philips Stadium is not big, but the exterior is very magnificent and the design is very modern.
Robben still remembers that a year ago, he signed a contract with Eindhoven from Groningen south. When he came to this stadium, he was almost standing at the place where he is today. He was very excited at the time.
But who could have imagined that today, a year later, he came here again, only to leave.
Life is like a drama, fickle.
Just yesterday, head coach Hiddink was still advising him not to leave the Netherlands prematurely.
"The competition in the Premier League is very fierce, and the intensity of the game is very high. You are not yet 20 years old. Going to the Premier League too early is not good for your long-term development. Moreover, there are many high-level Manchester United players. Do you compete?"
Hiddink's words are still in my ears, but many things in professional football are not shifted by the player's will.
Eindhoven needs cash, and selling him is the best choice!
Moreover, the club invited them to come today, not to arrange for them to meet with representatives of Manchester United, but someone else.
The one Robben had always longed to see, and he took the time to fly over to see him today.
Chelsea coach, Alpine!
Thinking of Alpine, Robben looked forward to it.
Alpine's qualifications are indeed not as old as Ferguson, but his reputation is not lost at all. More importantly, he has excavated a lot of young players in Atletico Madrid in the past, and each of them has been cultivated by him.
Villa, Xavi Alonso, Torres, Cech...
The most legendary among them are Marcos Senna and Kaka.
In the past two years, Robben has often read reports on Alpine and Atletico Madrid from magazines and newspapers. As a professional player, he dreams of meeting such a Bole and developing himself into the top and best star.
But he never thought that one day, Gao Han would invite him to join the team by name.
Even Gao Han came to Eindhoven in person.
From this point of view, Gao Han is much more sincere than the Ferguson who has never seen him.
Thinking of this, Robben took a deep breath, "Let's go, Dad."
The father and son quickly entered the Philips Stadium and came to Eindhoven's office.
The staff knew they were coming, but because they came early, they were arranged in the reception room next to the conference room.
But as soon as I sat down, I heard the sound of the door opening next door, and then I saw Chairman Van Rae come in with a smile on his face.
"Haha, Hans, Arjan, just waiting for you."
The father and son are a little puzzled.
"How far is it going now?" Hans asked concerned.
This is related to his son's future.
Van Rai smiled and nodded: "I just talked to Mr. Gao Han. I didn't expect that he not only commanded the team on the court, but also had a strong transfer negotiation. He was bold and generous. There was no relationship between us. Any obstacles anymore."
Hans was faintly surprised. This seems to be the first contact between Chelsea and Eindhoven, right? Rural Farmhouse
Is it so simple?
"Hans, Arjan, I know that you have always liked Manchester United before, but I want to say that they are too unjust and too caressing. When Stam moved, they were behind the scenes. Later, Ruud van Nistelrooy did the same. Even after talking to Russell Van Nistelrooy, they put aside negotiations for half a year after being injured in the game. They didn't even say the least greeting. They didn't continue until Ruud van Nistelrooy recovered. It was almost like this. A cold-blooded business machine."
Van Rye said this and looked at Robben deeply, "You guys think about it, Chelsea will be a good choice."
After speaking, Chairman Eindhoven didn't talk nonsense and took them directly to the next meeting room.
As soon as Robben and his son came in, the people in Eindhoven's management quit.
Judging from their faces, everyone has a satisfied look, and obviously they have gotten a very satisfactory result.
"Hans, Arjan, it's nice to meet you." As soon as Gao Han saw them coming in, he immediately stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand far away.
Luo Ben and his son hurried up to greet him and shook hands with Gao Han, especially when they arrived at Robben, they held them very tightly and hard, and they seemed a little nervous.
This time, accompanied by Gao Han, in addition to agent Jorge Mendes, there are also Chelsea lawyers, who are responsible for drafting agreements and drawing up specific contract terms.
"First of all, I am very happy to meet the two, especially you, Arjan. I have studied your game in Eindhoven very carefully and watched a lot of videos. I am very familiar with and understand you."
These words of Gao Han immediately flattered Robben, "Thank you, Mr. Gao Han."
"You are very young, but it feels very unusual to me, especially your courage to dribble the ball to challenge the defensive players on the court, which left me an extremely deep impression. Frankly speaking, you are like you. Players are rare in the new generation."
When both Luo Ben and his son heard such high praise from Gao Han, they were all overjoyed.
But Gao Han's remarks were not deliberate flattery, but from the sincerity.
One-on-one on the court, it may seem simple to pass the ball, but it is actually very difficult.
Even for the top superstars, the success rate may not reach half.
More importantly, there are many players with fast speed and outstanding skills at the foot, but few players dare to take the ball head-on.
For example, Barcelona has high hopes for the Argentine striker Saviola. There is certainly no problem with his personal ability, but his biggest weakness is that he does not have the courage to challenge defensive players on the court, which makes him lose more than half of the threat on the front line .
A striker with a height of less than 1.7 meters does not dare to break through with the ball. What role does that have?
Robben is also very happy with the evaluation from Gao Han, because he himself sees himself in this way.
On the court, he has absolute self-confidence.
"Of course, Arjan, what I have to remind you is that your style of play is easy to get injured, and you are still young. Therefore, for the sake of the long-term future, I definitely cannot treat you like an adult player. Entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but I guarantee that at Chelsea, you will get the best growth environment."
Having said that, Gao Han received two documents from Jorge Mendes next to him. One was handed to Robben, and the other was handed to his father and agent, Hans.
This copy of Robben is about Alpine and the coaching staff's future plans for Robben, as well as his prospects at Chelsea.
As for the one given to Hans, it is a personal treatment offered by Chelsea.
As soon as Hans opened it, he hurriedly swept through the other terms and fell directly to the most critical position, salary.
40,000 pounds weekly salary, five-year contract!
The middle-aged Dutch man was taken aback and looked at Gao Han in disbelief, as if suspecting that he was wrong.
"Don't be surprised, Hans, and don't doubt our sincerity, because I firmly believe that for a top winger who is destined to shine in European football in the next few years, this treatment is not outrageous." Gao Han was calm. Smiled. Celebrity
In fact, he was satisfied with this feeling of taking money to kill others.
Just now, Eindhoven’s chairman Van Rae was directly stunned by his transfer price of 15 million euros and an initial payment of 10 million euros.
In contrast, Manchester United's offer is only more than half of Chelsea's.
If Hans had some doubts that Gao Han was here to fool you, then now that he saw the contract and the lawyer, he had completely believed it.
Yes, Van Rae is right, he is really very angry in doing things!

"What? What did you say?"
While Gao Han was sitting at the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and talking eagerly with Robben and his son, at the Kearney training base in north London, Wenger also received a request from his right-hand assistant Steve Lauley. A phone call.
"I just got news from Barcelona. Fabregas agreed to Gao Han's invitation and went to Chelsea!"
Steve Lauley's words, like a thunderbolt in the sky, slammed directly on Wenger's head on the phone.
Fabregas, a young player who has been staring at him for several months, even invited to visit Arsenal's Highbury Stadium and Kearney training base, but he hit the door and was dug by his rivals in the same city?
"Impossible, impossible, how is this possible?" Wenger yelled out of his voice.
"Didn't we have almost talked to the players? Why is this happening?"
Steve Lauley was silent for a few seconds before he sighed, “He approached Barcelona in an open manner, and finally persuaded Barcelona to release people by paying compensation and signing a repurchase clause.”
In contrast, Arsenal is surreptitiously digging corners and will definitely not be able to get on the table.
"Not only Fabregas, but Pique, who we are eyeing at the same time as Manchester United, and the short Argentine teenager Messi, all went to Chelsea in the same way. It is said that it was Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes. Operational."
Wenger finally recovered, but still felt buzzing and blank in his head.
These three players are the most outstanding young players in the Barcelona youth training camp, especially Fabregas, who performed very well in the European Youth Championship just past. Arsenal have been watching for a long time, but they did not expect...
"This **** bastard!" Wenger scolded angrily.
At this moment, if Gao Han stood in front of him, he even had the urge to tear him up.
"What does he want to do?"
"I don't know, but I heard that he hasn't been in London in the past two days~lightnovelpub.net~Steve Lauley replied.
"According to the information I got, Chelsea has basically signed Veron, just about to announce it."
Wenger nodded and gave a hmm, which didn't surprise him.
Manchester United's desire to sell Veron to cash out is obvious.
"In addition, I heard that Makelele's agent also has contact with Chelsea."
"Oh?" Wenger shook his head and smiled. "I'm afraid he called all the big European giants and faxed them, right?"
Makelele’s contract renewal incident has long been nothing new in the past six months, and the rumors of him clamoring to leave the team are also endless. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is difficult for both parties to compromise.
So now, there is only one picker.
"Who would be so stupid to spend those 20 million euros for a 30-year-old defensive midfielder?" Wenger sneered and shook his head.
Last year, Arsenal bought Gilberto Silva from Brazil, who had shined in the World Cup, and spent a total of 4.5 million Euros, which Wenger felt expensive at the time.
Almost the same position, but Makelele is four years older than Gilberto Silva, but he is asking for 20 million euros?
The brain kicked the donkey to do such a crazy stupid thing.
But it has nothing to do with Arsenal, so Wenger quickly remembered Alpine again.
"This kid... let's just wait and see!"
