Chapter 1050 Directly at the champion
Gao Han personally led a group to Doha, Qatar, mainly for two things.
First, the two sponsorship contracts signed by the Middle East are very good, and they can bring a total of 10 million euros in sponsorship income to the club every year, which Armando Marcos finally negotiated.
As the saying goes, it is natural that Gao Han, the boss, came to sign a contract with money, and signed such a heavyweight contract.
Secondly, the team's winter break preparations are in Doha, and they will play a warm-up match with Paris Saint-Germain here. Gao Han hopes to take advantage of the winter break to solve some of the problems exposed by the team in the first half with the coaching staff and players as much as possible, because the second half of the game is very busy.
But Gao Han really couldn't stay in Doha for too long because the Chinese Football Association's coach selection team had arrived in Europe.
According to the timetable given by the Spanish government, Prime Minister Rajoy will visit China in the middle of the year, leaving little time for the football associations between the two countries to communicate and negotiate, and the aspects involved are too wide, so they must race against time.
Gao Han gave high praise to the team's performance in the first half, but in the Doha Hotel, facing all the players and coaching staff members, Gao Han said that the team still has many shortcomings and has considerable potential to tap.
Before heading to Doha, Barcelona Chairman Rossel denied the rumor, saying that the management still trusts and supports Martino, which means that the internal conflicts in Barcelona will continue.
Real Madrid's performance has declined very quickly. After Carvalho left the team, defense was also a big problem.
In contrast, Chinatown’s problem is the smallest and can be solved in a short period of time.
Therefore, Gao Han told all players in a high-profile manner at the mobilization meeting that Chinatown has maintained its top four rankings in the past few years, but this year there is a complete hope of taking a step forward and even rushing directly to the top.
Everyone present knew what Gao Han said, and he was aiming directly at the league championship.
If these words were spoken from other people, the coaching staff and the players might sneer, but when they heard them from Gao Han, they were very encouraged because it represented Gao Han's affirmation of them.
This also makes them more convinced of their strength and the team's strength and more fighting spirit.
As long as it can continue its performance in the first half, who can say that Chinatown has no chance?
To be polite is not Gao Han’s style.
At the mobilization meeting, Gao Han also made a commitment on behalf of the management that in the summer of 2014, the team's new stadium will be officially opened and the club's revenue will be greatly improved, so the team will start contract renewal negotiations again.
"Javier Faus is right, no club has enough financial resources to give a player a salary increase every six months, but we can get it once a year."
Gao Han ended the mobilization meeting with such a funny joke, which also made everyone present burst into laughter.
With the increase in salary every year, Chinatown's salary structure has basically reached the forefront of La Liga. Although it is not as good as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, it is almost the same as teams such as Valencia.
Now that the rise is still rising, it is probably going to catch up with the tail of the traditional three giant teams.
However, as the team moves into the new stadium, the daily income will increase several times. Even if the players are given another wave of salary, they can still keep their salary expenditures to about 45%. Otherwise, Gao Han would not dare to make promises easily.
On the one hand, it was from Gao Han's verbal encouragement, and on the other hand, it was from the actual temptation of interests of the club. Chinatown was also very excited. All of these young players were excited and ready to start the battle in the second half of the La Liga.
Gao Han set off and returned to Madrid after the mobilization meeting.

After the Chinese Football Association's coach selection team arrived in Europe, the first stop was Frankfurt, Germany, and met many rumored candidates here, including German legend Mattus.
Such an open selection of coaches often represents various interests behind them.
After all, this circle is so big, it is difficult to be airtight with this kind of open selection of a coach. Once exposed in advance, it will often lead to a planned miscarriage, so the entire selection process is full of various interests.
This is also the reason why Gao Han is not optimistic about the selection of a coach this time.
However, he has always been highly alert, never participated in any coach selection matters, and has always stayed in Madrid.
After the coach selection team arrived in Madrid, he also fulfilled his friendship with the landlords and personally took them to visit the Chinatown Training Center, and introduced the various so-called black technologies that were mysteriously circulated by the outside world of the Chinatown Training Center. Then he took them to visit the new stadium project in Chinatown.
The entire project is very large. The first phase is a stadium and a shopping center. Other commercial projects will be built one after another and cooperate with many Chinese companies. It has long been well-known in China, but after meeting the coach selection team, they still have to admire it from the bottom of their hearts.
Whether it is the stadium capacity, surrounding commercial facilities, and crowd gathering, Chinatown has conducted sufficient market research in advance.
The most powerful proof is that the new stadium is still being renovated in full swing, but it has attracted nearly 30,000 fans to book the new stadium season ticket. Chinatown has given it full sincerity and has not increased because of moving into the new stadium. It still uses the price of the Brock Stadium. Not to mention La Liga, it is still conscientious even in European football.
You know, Chinatown ticket prices are almost the lowest in La Liga.
Many experts from the coach selection team are curious about how Chinatown maintains its operations?
Gao Han also introduced the operating conditions of Chinatown in detail, including income ratio and expenditure distribution, etc. The largest part is commercial sponsorship income, which has always been the focus of Chinatown's income.
But in the past two or three years, as the team participates in the Champions League, the game bonus income has become an income that cannot be underestimated.
After the new stadium is completed and put into use, the daily income will also increase sharply. By then, Chinatown will change from one foot to two feet, and then become the current three-horse carriage to advance in unison.
From Gao Han's talkative introduction to the operation of Chinatown, many bigwigs from the Football Association of the coaching team also lamented the current poverty of the domestic professional football industry, and said that after returning to China, many professional teams would be encouraged to come and study.
That night, Gao Han specially arranged a dinner party and invited Chinese representatives from southern Madrid, coaches and students who were intern and further studies in Chinatown, except those who went to Doha with the team, all of them attended.
This made the Football Association's bigwigs feel the signal sent by Chinatown in Madrid and even the entire Europe.
It can even be said that Chinatown has become an emotional bond between China and Europe.
The next day, Gao Han and the coach selection team met with the Spanish Football Association, Professional League and government officials.
As the bigwigs of the Football Association go along the way, they can easily understand Gao Han's important role in Spanish football. Even Football Association Chairman Bilal, Professional League Chairman Tebasse, and even Spanish Sports Ministers, are all polite in front of Gao Han, as if they are afraid of accidentally committing Gao Han.
Combined with the previous expressions of Gao Han when they met with the German Football Association in Frankfurt, Germany, and the expressions of Gao Han when they mentioned Gao Han and many head coach candidates always say Gao Han, they felt extremely proud and proud.
As a Chinese, Gao Han was able to achieve such great success in the field of football and be respected by so many people. What an admirable feat?
Many people present felt sorry for each other.
They have no decision-making power. Otherwise, if Gao Han was allowed to be the head coach of the national team, with his coaching ability and his prestige and status in the world football world, how could he still have to be as entangled as he is now?
Since Gao Han made sufficient preparations in advance, the meeting between the Football Association's coach selection team and all sectors of Spain went very smoothly.

When the Chinese Football Association coach selection team finished a week's trip to Spain and returned to China, Chinatown also ended the winter break training camp in Doha, Qatar, and returned to Madrid.
During his time in Doha, Chinatown played a warm-up match with Paris Saint-Germain. Both sides focused on training and did not do their best. As a result, the two sides tied a three-to-three draw, shaking hands and making peace.
Although the game was tied, Chinatown still played its own strength in the competition with the Champions League champions and also learned a lot of experience and lessons, especially on the defensive end.
Even though he is coached by Blanco this season, Paris Saint-Germain's overall offense and defense still continues the framework of Gao Han last season, with outstanding offensive capabilities. Coupled with the personal abilities of Neymar, Suarez and Aubameyang, it is still a great test for Chinatown's defense.
After Chinatown returned to Madrid, the transfer during the winter break in 2014 officially opened.
But unlike the bustling summer transfer market, the winter break transfer market seems much more depressed. Even teams like Chelsea and Real Madrid that have not performed well in the first half obviously do not plan to start during the winter break.
This is also the final decision that was learned after years of experience and lessons.
Signings during the winter break are often urgent, the transfer fee is relatively high, and the risk of signing is also relatively high, so generally, if it is not very necessary, you are unwilling to sign in the winter break.
In La Liga, Atletico Madrid's attitude is optional. If a suitable high-level central defender is pushed into the transfer market, they will be happy to take action, but if not, they will not force it. They will focus more on the summer transfer market in 1920s and 14 years. They hope to strengthen signings on the defense line, and the number one target is Godin.
After confirming that Martino stayed in the team, his more important task was to start the contract renewal process and renew his contract with many stars including Messi, Valdes and Iniesta. It was obviously not easy to take care of signings during the winter break.
As for Chinatown, it announced early that it would not operate transfers during the winter break, whether it was introduced or sold.
Except for Real Madrid, the semi-final teams have no urgent need for signings, which makes the entire La Liga transfer even more depressed.
But there are still teams such as Valencia, Sevilla, Malaga, etc., hoping to use the winter break transfer to strengthen the team's competitiveness. After all, their performance this season is indeed very unsatisfactory, especially Valencia.
Before Chinatown's rise, the Bat Legion was the fourth-team in La Liga, but now it has not only been completely squeezed out of the top four in the league, but even the gap with Chinatown is getting bigger and bigger, which makes Bat Legion fans very dissatisfied, and the management has also been under heavy pressure.
There are even reports that if the team's situation cannot be improved this season, Valencia's management will not rule out that there will be a big deal.
But if you want to sign aid, Valencia's finances cannot raise funds, which is indeed quite troublesome.
