#1095 is not what it used to be

When Chinatown's two contract renewals and the sky-high annual salary renewal caused an uproar around the world, Gao Han returned to China after handling many European affairs and paid for vacation to the Middle East out of his own pocket.

Even in the first qualifiers of the World Cup held in mid-June, Gao Han did not come to watch the game in the live broadcast of the game in Dubai.

After the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, the national team head coach Perrin seemed to deliberately or unintentionally downplay Gao Han's impact on the team. He had no communication or contact with Gao Han before and after this game, even if it was a phone call or a text message.

Gao Han respected this and did not even go to watch the game in person.

According to the information obtained by Gao Han, some contradictions have begun to be exposed between Perrin and the Football Association in the past six months, especially in the selection of training sites. Perrin toughly demanded that the training site be arranged in Kunming. However, the Football Association considered the altitude sickness and hoped to be arranged in other cities, but Perrin won in the end.

However, before the game, some media and professionals revealed that there were indeed problems with the national football team's training camp in Kunming.

In this away game against Bhutan in mid-June, the Chinese national football team did experience altitude sickness.

Faced with such a bottom team, China performed extremely poorly in the first half. Not only did it make frequent passes and reception mistakes, but the players' condition was also obviously very bad and they were unable to score goals for a long time.

It was finally time for the first half to stoppage time that forward Yang Xu scored a goal for the team.

After that, Chinatown barely played in the second half, with consecutive goals, defeating Bhutan 6-0 away.

Gao Han posted a comment on Weibo after the game. Considering that it was the first game of the World Cup, he thought the result was acceptable, but the process of the game exposed many problems, and even the players' performance was not as good as during the Asian Cup.

In Weibo's football comments, Gao Han reminded everyone of the national team that although there are many away factors in the game, his mentality is obvious and it is also a big problem. I hope the national team and the Football Association can pay attention to it.

Gao Han's Weibo quickly attracted the attention of domestic fans and media. After in-depth exploration, all talents suddenly discovered that during the Asian Cup, the Football Association once seconded two sports psychology experts to accompany the team from Chinatown, but this World Cup qualifiers did not have such arrangements.

In response, the Football Association spokesperson said that the reason is that this is because the Football Association is considering hiring experts for a long time and is responsible for the national team full-time affairs. However, some media have also discovered inside information and believe that not continuing to second the psychological experts in Chinatown is a joint decision between Perrin and the Football Association. As for the reasons, the outside world is also catching up on the storm and spreading it in confusion.

Gao Han was too lazy to pay attention to this and focused on vacation in the Middle East.

After the first round of the World Cup qualifiers, the national football team was disbanded again and returned to the league. The next training camp will be to face the East Asian Cup in August. This time China is the host and the game will be held in Wuhan.

In mid-June, the Copa America also started in full swing in Chile.

There are not many South American internationals in Chinatown, only Danilo, Alex Sandro and forward Firmino entered the Brazilian national team. Therefore, Gao Han did not pay much attention to this event, and Chinatown only arranged the chief scout to visit Chile.

Thanks to his outstanding performance in Chinatown, Danilo beat Barcelona's Alves and served as the main right-back of the Brazilian national team. Firmino also plays the main role on the front line. Only Ales Sandro does not have the ability to challenge Marcelo's main position for the time being.

It is precisely with the outstanding performances of international players such as Firmino, Neymar, Coutinho, Danilo and Marcelo that Brazil won consecutive games in the group stage and entered the knockout round with three consecutive victories.

Later, he defeated Paraguay in the quarterfinals and entered the semi-finals.

But this time, when facing Argentina led by Messi, Brazil eventually lost one-to-two and missed the final.

The situation in Argentina was not much better. After entering the finals, he drew with the host Chile 0-0 and eventually lost to Chile 1-4 in the penalty shootout and missed the championship.

In the end, Danilo and Firmino entered the All-American Team.

The outstanding performance of these two Brazilian internationals in the Copa America and their performance at Chinatown in the past two seasons have attracted the attention of many European giant teams.

Barcelona has included Danilo on the assessment list of Alves' successor from the beginning. After successfully defending the Champions League at Chinatown, Barcelona is determined to win Danilo. Club chairman Rossell even announced that he would win Danilo at all costs and fill the team's right vacancy.

In addition to Barcelona, ​​Manchester United has always had weaknesses on the right. Pochettino also hopes to introduce Danilo to succeed Croatian veteran Darioserna. Not only that, he is also determined to win against forwards Firmino and Griezmann, believing that these two players can greatly improve Manchester United's offense.

The British Suns, which has always been known for digging insider information, swore that Pochettino will launch an impact on these two former lovers this summer, and Manchester United has also offered a transfer budget of up to 200 million pounds for Pochettino, hoping to complete the team's metabolism as soon as possible and help the team get out of the trough.

In June, Manchester United had announced that they had signed the Piglet Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich for 15 million euros, which is also seen as Pochettino's first step in transforming Manchester United.

But even if Manchester United has a good transfer budget, it is not easy to win the Chinese Town player.

Griezmann is a popular player in the transfer market this year. He is favored by Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City, especially Barcelona, ​​hoping to poach Griezmann and form a frontcourt trident with Suarez and Messi.

Although Firmino is not as favored as Griezmann, it has also attracted the attention of many teams including Liverpool, Chelsea and Inter Milan. As a versatile player in the midfield and frontcourt, Firmino is also popular.

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain were originally salivating for Hazard in Chinatown, especially Paris Saint-Germain. After sending Neymar away, they intend to introduce Hazard to fill the gap in the team's superstars. The French team even stated that Nasser was willing to pay Hazard a penalty of 200 million euros.

But Chinatown quickly cut the mess, and after signing two heavy contracts in succession, he immediately renewed Hazard with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Manchester City's top priority this summer is to keep the team's head coach Ancelotti, and the transfer is more about two wing roads.

During Ancelotti's coaching, Manchester City's style of playing changed from a three-back in the high cold period to a more balanced four-back. Zabaleta has always been on the right, but this Argentine player obviously cannot meet Manchester City's requirements, and introducing Danilo has also become one of Manchester City's options.

Left-back Ales Sandro also attracted the attention of Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid. Although Ales Sandro's position in Brazil's national team fell behind Marcelo, his performance at Chinatown was quite outstanding. He is known as the devil's wings and is a powerful weapon for the team's wings on the wings.

But according to the British Guardian, Manchester City's number one target this summer is Chinatown's main midfielder Ilia La Mendy.

Xavi Alonso is already old. Michael Johnson, who was favored by Gao Han, has not made much entry in recent years and has been somewhat stagnant under Ancelotti. Manchester City intends to poach Ilia La Mendi to take over Xavi Alonso.

Real Madrid is also drooling at Ilia La Mendi. Real Madrid, which is restricted by its soft waist, also hopes to introduce this local midfielder, because Ilia La Mendi not only has excellent passing and organizational skills, but is known as Xavi Alonso II, but in fact, his role in the defensive end is also quite outstanding, and his various data ranks at the forefront of La Liga.

Midfielders such as Isco, Pogba and De Bruyne have also been poached by major teams, but Chinatown has long been different from the past. After renewing Hazard, the team solemnly announced the launch of a new round of contract renewal, which will ensure that the core players stay in the team to the greatest extent.

Of course, Armando Marcos still firmly abides by the bottom line of the high-altitude salary structure that must not exceed the club's fiscal revenue for 45%, and strives to maintain the team's financial health.

When the European summer transfer market was undercurrent, Gao Han also ended his holiday from the Middle East and returned to China.

After returning to China, he went straight to Guangzhou and participated in the unveiling ceremony of the genius day selection activity at the Guangzhou Chinatown Youth Training Center.

This means that the second youth training center in China will be officially opened this summer, and will begin to recruit children of appropriate age to enter the youth training center and receive the most formal football training and cultural courses. Not only that, the 5th Chinatown Youth Football Invitational Tournament will also be held in this brand new youth training center in Guangzhou, and many domestic and foreign TV stations will broadcast live.

The governments at the Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City also sent representatives to attend. The leaders of the General Administration of Sports and the Chairman of the Football Association also visited the scene and delivered speeches. Gao Han also solemnly promised everyone that the Guangzhou Chinatown Youth Training Center, like Beijing, will be built in accordance with the most advanced youth training standards in Europe.

"So far, we have determined to invest in seven Chinatown youth training centers in China. In the next five years, we will be completed and opened at the rate of one per year."

Gao Han gave an explanation for the responses of many media, whether the speed can be accelerated.

"We are not only considering the construction issue, we also need to consider the training of youth training coaching echelons, club staff and business management personnel training. These all take time. With our current capabilities, it is already very fast to open one every year."

Gao Han once again emphasized that the principle of Chinatown Youth Training Center is to focus on quality rather than weight, and will not expand blindly, but will only continue to proceed in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

Regarding the losses that many media are worried about, Gao Han smiled and said that he was not worried.

"With the current domestic players' value, we can't lose anyway." Gao Han smiled confidently.

In fact, Chinatown is indeed negotiating cooperation with domestic clubs. After all, some youth training seedlings that cannot gain a foothold in the European League, and the domestic league will be their best way out.

Regarding the recent vague calls from Gao Han to take over the national team, Gao Han said that he did not have any consideration in this regard. He believed that Perrin coached well. During his time in Guangzhou, he had no discussions with the General Administration of Sports and the leaders of the Football Association.

Gao Han's personal positioning allowed the genius daily selection of Guangzhou Chinatown Youth Training Center to attract thousands of children of appropriate age from all over the world to participate. Gao Han also did it himself, and with the power of his keen eyes, he carefully selected youth training seedlings for Guangzhou Chinatown.

In the subsequent invitational tournament, Beijing Chinatown won excellent championships in both age groups, which once again attracted the praise of domestic fans.
