Boat against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.

This old saying applies to a professional team.

This is why there are so many teams that once were invincible in European football, which completely disappeared in front of the fans in just a few years because they were unable to move forward and could only be constantly squeezed down by later generations.

But it is precisely because of the fierce competition that European professional football has always stood at the core of world football.

With the fierce competition in the Spanish League, Chinatown has no way to keep itself safe, either moving forward or retreating.

Gao Han had no ambitions at first for Chinatown.

At the beginning, he just wanted to build an amateur team so that old students such as Tu Feiyuan and Xiao Mu could have a job and a way out, so what he did was youth training at the beginning.

But later, as his reputation became more and more popular and his status in Spanish football became higher and higher, players began to come to visit. The two-year genius day selection has become a grand event in Spanish football.

Until now, although the Chinatown team is still owned by Gao Han, it is not only related to Gao Han.

This team has thousands of hardcore fans around Madrid, Spain, and even the world. Perhaps because of Gao Han, or for other reasons, they watched the team climb from the lowest level league to the current Spanish Second Division.

They are extremely loyal and enthusiastic, and will cheer for the team's victory and cry for the team's defeat.

At the Chinatown Youth Training Center, the club has dozens of employees, dozens of families behind it, hundreds of youth training players and twenty or thirty first-team players, as well as Pochettino, who gave up the opportunity to coach La Liga Espanyol for Chinatown, and the coaching team behind him.

Not to mention Almodo Marcos, who was poached by Mendeste, and his management team.

In just eight years, this team has gone from being a professional team in the Spanish Second Division today. It is not just a team founded by Gao Han, but it has involved the interests of countless fans and countless families.

Now, in front of Gao Han is a single-plank bridge. You either continue to move forward and strive to rush to La Liga in the shortest time, stand at the top of the professional league, or be washed away by the waves and eliminated back to the low-level league, and the entire team fell apart.

Whether it is Gao Han, Pochettino, Almodo Marcos, Jorge Mendes, or all the Chinese City fans, players and employees, no one will be willing to choose the latter one.

That would be a disaster.

It was like the team fell apart after Juventus was relegated.

The only difference is that behind the Zebra Legion is supported by the huge consortium of the Agnelli family, but behind the Chinatown team, there is nothing.

Gao Han never thought the team would rise so quickly. He had indeed underestimated the difficulty of running a professional team before. After all, relying on Gao Han's connections and relationships in Spanish football, it is easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree. Chinatown team has gained too many advantages, so the team's foundation is not solid.

But now, Chinatown is in a hurry and is bound to make an advance.

"Two years, maybe even this season, I want to get the team to La Liga." Gao Han promised loudly.

Almodo Marcos and Pochettino were both excited.

The most eye-catching promotion in the Bundesliga this season is Hoffenheim. A legendary team that has won the attention of all Europe from a low-level league, but if Chinatown can win La Liga, the legendary level will be even better than Hoffenheim.

Especially under the halo of high cold.

Jorge Mendes also felt the pressure and responsibility on Gao Han. He also understood that if Chinatown cannot rush to La Liga within two years, it will be difficult for them to retain these outstanding players at that time. They will definitely leave the team for their own development.

When that time comes, people's hearts will disperse.

Even when that time comes, it will be a great damage to Gao Han's image.

He is not stupid, on the contrary, he has always been smart and always goes back and is glad for the choice he has made.

For example, he is very glad that he took the initiative to invite Gao Han to cooperate, which brought him a huge agency empire.

Many times, some cooperation that seems to be at a disadvantage will eventually prove to be a win-win situation for each other, or even multiple wins.

Mendes believes this is the case this time.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring you back the players you want." Mendes promised solemnly.

In fact, Gao Han was a little stubborn and was unwilling to accept third-party capital to intervene in his club, so he never liked players with third-party ownership to come to his team. He felt that would make him embarrassed.

For example, if you buy Falcao, whoever Gao Han talks, can buy part of his or her own rights in the name of the company, and then send it to Chinatown to play football.

But the problem is that once Falcao performs well and his net worth increases a little, from the perspective of a businessman, he should cash out quickly. After all, his agency also has operating pressure and needs to consider capital recovery and cost.

But if you are from the perspective of the club's business, if there is no suitable replacement, you will definitely do your best to keep it.

When that time comes, there will definitely be a conflict between the two sides.

Another point is that Gao Han believes that third-party ownership is just like he has hired other teams to loan players, and it is not reliable. Only by constantly strengthening the strength of the team itself is the fundamental.

So, over the years, he has not participated in these businesses of Mendes.

Almodo Marcos also felt Gao Han's determination, thought for a while, nodded and said, "I will ask the business department to draw up a plan. I will consider taking advantage of the opportunity of the establishment of Chinatown Youth Training Center in Beijing to open a branch and specialize in investment promotion in China. I believe that many Chinese companies should be interested in us."

Gao Han nodded, and Almodo Marcos saw this very accurately.

If Chinese companies want to go abroad, they must have publicity and marketing, and over the years, more and more companies have paid attention to this.

There is no doubt that although Chinatown is in the Spanish Second Division, it is not worse than that of some La Liga teams.

At least, as early as the third-level league, Chinatown was able to appear on important media such as Marca and Ashes every week, although it simply reported the game news.

"I haven't seen the information and situation of these players yet, and I can't make a judgment for the time being, but I believe in Mr. Gao Han's vision." Pochettino also decided to express his attitude as the head coach.

"If these players can join the team, I promise that the team will do their best to launch an impact on the upgraded quota in the new season, because I need this quota to maintain this morale in the team."

The promotion year by year is quite inspiring to the players of Chinatown.

It can be said that from top to bottom, everyone in the team is full of expectations and ambitions for the future.

This is like a car driving at high speed. You can brake again and again, but try to avoid sudden brakes.

"Pressure is a good thing, Maolicio, but the competition in the Spanish Second Division this season will be very tragic, Jerez, Zaragoza, Tenerife, Hecures, Vallecano, Real Sociedad, Levante, Vigo Celta..."

"In front of many competitors, it is very difficult for the team to upgrade, but I believe you have the ability to lead the team well, so no matter what the final result is, you will continue to stay in the position of head coach. This is my promise to you."

Pochettino nodded heavily, and he understood that Gao Han wanted him to rest assured.

"And my request for you is very simple, there is only one, let go of your hands and feet and do a big fight."

After hearing this, Pochettino nodded slightly with a smile. This is his personality.

There is no doubt that Gao Han is not only a very excellent head coach, but also a leader who knows football and management very well.

At least, he knows better than anyone else what kind of working environment a person like Pochettino needs.

It is best to be a coaching environment that is a bit stressful, challenging, but not restricted.

…………

…………

With a consensus, it will be much easier to do things.

Pochettino has not had any experience in coaching La Liga and Serie II so far, so Gao Han taught some of his own experiences. For example, he believes that for the newly promoted team, the start of the league is very important.

Also, during the long season, different problems will definitely arise, but how to solve them, etc.

Pochettino also learned a lot from Gao Han's experience.

Almodo Marcos went directly to a meeting with the management to discuss the operation of the new season.

Instead, Jorge Mendes got up and walked to the window to make a phone call.

It was not until Gao Han and Pochettino had almost had a talk, that the Portuguese agent came over.

"nailed it."

"Who?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

"Aubameyang of AC Milan, Aldevelde of Ajax, Douglas Costa of Gremio, Ramirez of Cruzero, and Falcao of Riverbed..."

When Mendes said this, he smiled at Gao Han proudly, as if he was seeking credit.

"Have all these players done?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

Pochettino was so shocked that his chin almost dropped.

I knew Mendes was very good at hand, but I didn't know that he was so awesome.

"This is nothing. They are all business cooperation, and these players are not well-known, so it is easier to talk about it. However, Schneiderlin, Mkhitaryan and Devrey, I probably have to go there in person."

Mendes has cooperated with Feyenoord, but is not familiar with it. As for Schneiderlin and Mkhitaryan, they are both small teams, Mendes doesn't know them at all, so they can only contact each other through the middleman first, and then talk to them in person.

Gao Han smiled bitterly and shook his head. He could handle these players in just a few phone calls. Who else can do such a thing? Looking around the world, besides Mendes?

"Oh, by the way, when I was talking to my partner, I received a message that it was related to you."

"About me?" Gao Han frowned and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"I received the news that just today, Real Madrid came to you to poach your corner and officially made a offer to Bayern Munich, and he also made a offer of 50 million euros in one go, hoping to get Aguero."

"What?" Gao Han was shocked.

Real Madrid will use 50 million euros to poach Aguero?

In just one year, the value of this Argentine young player has doubled.

But Aguero occupies a very important position in Gao Han’s plan, how can he sell it?

"What is Rummenigge and Heness?" Gao Han asked.

"I don't know, you can ask yourself." Mendes shrugged.

From the perspective of a businessman, if you don’t do too much money, you will suffer losses if you don’t do too much?

As soon as Mendes finished speaking, Gao Han's cell phone rang.
