Super Marshal

For Paul Footley, summer undoubtedly represents busyness and fulfillment.

After returning to Manchester from Beijing, China, he almost went into preparations for the new season almost non-stop.

Although, in the past year, he has been preparing for Gao Han's appointment, but now, Gao Han is really coming, and he has to rearrange many things.

For example, during his stay in Beijing, Gao Han expressed the hope that the club could recommend an experienced coach as his chief assistant coach. The coach should be familiar with the Premier League and Manchester City, so that he can get into work more quickly.

Paul Futre was also prepared for this. After he heard that Thomas Tuchel was coaching Mainz, he knew that Gao Han needed such a person, so he had a belly case in his heart and he had just returned to Manchester from Beijing. After that, he immediately called Brian Kidd in Portsmouth, far south.

Brian Kidd is the assistant coach Ferguson missed the most so far. Before joining the Manchester United first team as Ferguson's assistant, he was the coach of the Manchester United youth team. The famous Class of 92 came from his team.

After leaving Manchester United in 1998, he once became the head coach of the Blackburn team, but his results were not satisfactory. Then he went to Leeds United, first as the youth team coach and later as an assistant coach of the line team. He has personally experienced Leeds at the beginning of the century. The glorious peak of the United, later moved to the England national team, Sheffield United and Portsmouth.

This coach is not only familiar with everything about English football, but also has his own uniqueness in the training of young players. At the same time, he is also good at player training. He will definitely be the best assistant for Gao Han to coach the Premier League.

Brian Kidd, who was already 60 years old, heard that he was working as an assistant for Gao Han. He flew directly from Portsmouth to Manchester the next day. He signed a contract with Paul Footley on the spot and quickly took up his duties. .

Now sitting in the general manager's office, directly opposite Paul Footley.

Sitting next to Brian Kidd is the Manchester City club’s youth academy supervisor, Spaniard Rudolf Borelli.

This name is absolutely unknown, and there are only a handful of fans I know, but if you talk about the players he has trained, everyone will definitely look at him with admiration.

Iniesta, Fabregas, Pique, Messi...

It can be said that these young talents produced by La Masia have played for a long time under Rudolf Borelli and received his training, especially Messi, the first master to enter La Masia. The coach is him.

This youth training coach who has worked very well in the Barcelona youth training camp is a Madrid through and through.

But after Guardiola took over the first team in Barcelona, ​​he began to reform the youth team completely. Rudolf Borelli was eager to transform, so he left La Masia in the summer of 2008 and went to Greece to coach. As a result, After half a year of work, it ended in failure.

At this time, Paul Futre was looking for a youth training expert for Manchester City. Rudolf Borelli, who is quite well-known in the Madrid coaching circle, was naturally dug to Manchester City by Paul Futre and served as the youth training director.

What makes Paul Futre more important is that Rudolf Borelli once worked with Gao Han. At that time Gao Han was only an intern in the first team, so he did not remember this youth team's youth training expert.

The main reason why Paul Footley called Brian Kidd and Rudolf Borelli to his office was to urge them to prepare in advance so that Gao Han could enter the role as soon as he took office, and he also told them about the club’s decision. .

From now on, in addition to being the head coach of the team, Gao Han is also the chief technical officer of the club. In other words, all matters related to the sports affairs of the club from top to bottom are all determined by Gao Han, Brian Kidd Needless to say, Rudolf Borelli and the scout department are all under the jurisdiction of Alpine.

After the two heard the club's decision, their expressions were a little surprised.

In the entire European football arena, there are only a handful of coaches who enjoy this power, not even Arsenal's Wenger.

In other words, Alpine will become the Ferguson of Manchester City.

"This time, the club managed to persuade Gao Han to coach us in Manchester City. The big boss also spoke. Not only the head coach wants the best, but the team also has to form a luxurious star lineup, which will be played in the Premier League next season. Go to school and do a good job, so you must cooperate with Gao Han's work."

Paul Footley really envy Alpine.

Just yesterday, Gao Han’s agent Jorge Mendes came to Manchester to negotiate a personal contract, but in the end, there was no need to negotiate. All the commercial sponsorship contracts signed before Gao Han were recognized by Manchester City, and no portrait of Gao Han was left. Right, and gave a sky-high annual salary of 50 million pounds after tax.

This is more than twice the annual salary of Gao Han at Bayern Munich.

Not only that, the team also promised to give a generous championship bonus after winning.

Paul Footley almost dropped his chin. Although he had only signed a two-year contract, the club spent at least £200 million on Gao Han. What courage is this?

But this is obviously just the beginning.

Big boss Mansour called Mubarak and Paul Foutre overnight, saying that the team must be strong in signings, and try to bring in superstars with market influence as much as possible, and it must cause a sensation, with the help of Alpine and superstars. The momentum of this has allowed Manchester City to soar into the sky since then.

The first goal the club aimed at was Kaka.

"Well, I have already explained everything that should be explained, so hurry up and get things done." Paul Futre is also somewhat lacking.

After returning from Beijing, he has been busy and never rested.

But just as Brian Kidd and Rudolf Borelli stood up to say goodbye, the door of the office was suddenly knocked open, only to see a man rushing in from the outside.

All three people in the office were taken aback by the sudden movement. When they fixed their eyes, it was the club’s chief scout David Harrison, a talent selection expert who has coached for nearly ten years in Leeds United. He is very experienced. Kidd is what he recommended to Paul Footley.

"What's the matter?" Paul Footley was a little unhappy.

In my own office territory, I was knocked in without knocking, and it was unhappy for anyone to change.

"Sorry, but things are urgent." David Harrison rushed directly to Paul Footley's desk. "I just received news from Milan. Just this morning, Kaka's The agent’s father, Bosco, formally reached an agreement with Real Madrid on the personal treatment of Kaka and signed the contract in the afternoon."

"What?" Paul Footley jumped up from his seat.

"How can it be so fast? Haven't even the price been negotiated before?"

"That's right." David Harrison shook his head vigorously. "But according to the news I got, Real Madrid President Florentino suddenly visited Milan in person yesterday and reached a meeting with Galliani in just one morning. In the afternoon, I met with Kaka’s father and the representative lawyer to discuss personal treatment and reached an agreement in the morning."

Paul Footley's face changed.

He didn't expect things to change like this suddenly, too quickly.

He also told Gao Han before that Real Madrid’s progress is not going well, and the price has not been negotiated with AC Milan. It is estimated that there will be no results before mid-July. After all, it is a superstar transfer, which involves all aspects of contract terms. .

Because of this, Gao Han was not in a hurry to call Kaka, and wanted to wait until Manchester City had negotiated with AC Milan before coming forward to discuss with Kaka. After all, this is more formal, so as not to be caught and make a fuss.

Unexpectedly, Florentino personally led the team to Milan for negotiations, and the progress was so fast.

You know, Kaka is the first superstar Manchester City has continuously contacted and fought for in the past year. If he goes to Real Madrid, it will definitely be an operational error by the Manchester City management, and Paul Futre is the first to bear the brunt.

At the thought of this, Paul Footley was all messed up.

Absent-mindedly, he waved his hands to the three people in front of him, indicating that they all go out first, and he needs to think calmly.

But after all three of them had gone out, he still couldn't think of a way.

The only thought that came to mind was to ask Gao Han for help.

…………

…………

Kaka attached great importance to this signing in the afternoon.

After eating lunch, he went back to the room to take a shower, shaved his beard, and changed into a suit tailored for him by the master Zhang Quan from Beijing. He looked at himself in the dressing mirror, and the corner of Kaka’s mouth raised. There was a smile.

He hopes that this afternoon signing will be a freshman for his career.

Walked back to the room, took the phone on the bedside, Kaka hesitated whether to call the boss, Gao Han.

Real Madrid chairman Florentino said that his people have been fighting for Gao Han to coach at the Bernabéu, and Kaka also wanted to call Gao Han and tell him that he decided to go to Real Madrid and hoped that he could also come. .

Let Kaka transform, this is what Gao Han has said long ago, and transforming under Gao Han is also what Kaka has always expected.

It's just that he has been a little hesitant, wondering if he should make this call.

Finally, Kaka made a decision and played.

Even if you just tell the boss that you have joined Real Madrid.

Thinking of this, Kaka found Gao Han’s mobile phone number in the address book, but when he was about to press the dial button, the door was opened from the outside and saw his wife Caroline come in and let Kaka The hand pressing the key stopped.

"What's the matter?" Kaka asked.

"Father said, it's time to go, lest the people of Real Madrid wait a long time." Caroline said.

Kaka glanced at the number he was about to dial, finally pressed the cancel button, and nodded to his beautiful wife.

"Well, let's go."

Caroline smiled at Kaka and walked over to help him tidy up the collar and cuffs of his suit.

When the young couple came down the stairs~www.NovelMTL.com~, Bosco and the two lawyers who were sitting in the living room stood up.

This time, the contract negotiated with Real Madrid went very smoothly. Real Madrid’s request is very simple. Kaka’s half of the portrait rights. For the commercial contract signed by Kaka before, there is no conflict with Real Madrid’s existing contract. , So this is not a big problem.

As for Kaka’s annual salary and terms, Real Madrid also made a lot of concessions. From the entire negotiation process, Real Madrid did give a lot of sincerity, especially Florentino, who promised Bosco more than once. Real Madrid will do their best to invite Gao Han to coach at the Bernabéu to help Kaka make a successful transition.

Everyone believed in the promise of this real estate tycoon.

"Okay, let's go."

After bidding farewell to their families, Kaka and his son got into the car with their lawyer and headed to the hotel where Florentino was staying.
