"Next, I'll ask you to watch a video first."

Gao Han plugged a USB flash drive into the computer in the conference room, and soon a video was broadcast on the big screen.

In the video, there is a tall player with long blonde hair wearing a No. 5 jersey. After intercepting the ball, he dribbled the ball along the middle and attacked the ball in the middle. When he attacked the front of the opponent's penalty area, he calmly passed the ball accurately to his teammates under the intensive control of many defensive players around him.

The teammates had a very good chance after receiving the ball, so they directly shot the ball, but there were people around them, and the shooting angle was not good enough. The goalkeeper's position was stuck very accurately and saved the ball in time.

But at this moment, the No. 5 player who had just passed the ball rushed into the penalty area, snatched the ball that the goalkeeper had lost before everyone, and scored a key goal.

The upper left corner of the video scored between the two sides, two to one.

All of them are experienced in Spanish football. As soon as they see the abbreviations of the names of the two teams, they guess who the two teams are.

In the 35th round of the Spanish Second Division last season, Vigo Celta played against Cadiz.

"It was Michu who scored the goal," Cantalero said.

With Diego Costa and Mkhitaryan likely transfers, as the team's technical director, Cantalero was ready to take a step back in advance and arranged for scouts to inspect many players. Michu was one of them. At that time, he also prepared a list of players and materials for Gao Han to review.

The video screen turned again and switched to another game. After receiving a cross from a teammate in the penalty area, Mi Chu picked up the opponent's central defender and calmly shot the ball into the goal.

It was still the same game. After Mi Chu received the pass from his teammate at the front of the penalty area, he was assigned to the left and quickly turned around and inserted forward. The teammate on the left got the opportunity and made a cross. The forward in the middle headed the ball but failed to hit the main position. As a result, Mi Chu inserted behind him and calmly sent the ball into the goal.

Scoring twice!

Judging from the information in the upper left corner of the video, this is the 40th round of La Liga, with Vigo Celta against Tarragona, and Michu led Vigo Celta to defeat Tarragona three-to-one.

In addition to the goal clips, the video also collected many wonderful performances of Mi Chu in the Spanish Second Division last season. He is tall and strong, and looks like a very alternative Spanish attacking midfielder. He is a bit like a shadow striker, but he is also able to do the job of a center forward. He takes the ball behind his back and fights for headers, and is all good at it.

Judging from the actions of handling the ball several times in the video clip, his technical skills may not be excellent in the Spanish midfield, but at least they are definitely very solid. Even in the penalty area where defense is dense, he can calmly pick the ball and control the ball.

It should be said that this is a very interesting player.

After the video was played, Gao Han smiled at everyone, "Do you feel very curious?"

"You're talking about him?" Cantalero was really curious.

Gao Han nodded, "Michu, 24 years old, plays for Vigo Celta, who has been playing in the Spanish Second Division for a long time, but Vigo Celta is not good either. She has not been able to upgrade for several years, and she was almost relegated last year. So last season, he invited Barcelona star Osevio to coach. Everyone should have an impression of him, one of Rijkald's assistant coaches."

"Last season, under Osevio's training, Michu made great progress, especially in the attacking area. Osevio also used Michu's outstanding physical fitness to make him bear the burden of the team's offensive core in the frontcourt."

Osevio is not very familiar, but as an insider, everyone present has heard of him to a greater or lesser extent. He is a very capable person. He made great contributions when coaching Barcelona at Rijcard. Now he has come out to coach alone, but he is not successful in Vigo Celta.

"I called Osevio on the way to Madrid. Guess what he told me?"

Pochettino asked curiously: "What do you say?"

"He said that Mi Chu is a very smart player with a strong ability to read games. He can always play the gaps in the opponent's defense. He is not fast and his running is very concealed. Once he grasps the available gaps, he will make the opponent unable to defend himself. His excellent off-ball running can play an amazing role between the opponent's back defense and the midfield line."

"And Mi Chu is a midfielder and a midfielder. She can play in professional leagues in this position in Spain, which advocates technology. The overall view and connection support are good, good at organization and scheduling, simple and practical, have a good ability to get rid of, and have a strong defensive willingness."

"Is it so good?" Cantalero laughed, "Did Osevio say what are the shortcomings?"

Gao Han nodded, "Just like my personal observation, first of all, he is a left-foot general, his left-foot skill is excellent, but his right-foot..."

"Other point is that Mi Chu's range of activities is mainly concentrated in the middle lane, and his speed is not fast. He can play in the front midfield, shadow striker and center. He is good at aerial confrontation, but he can also cooperate on the ground and has excellent ability to hold the ball from behind. To put it simply, he is the type who can play very well in a tactical framework suitable for his performance."

Generally speaking, the development of this type of player is often embarrassing. You either directly play the supporting role of the wealthy team or play the core main force in the middle and lower-level teams.

When Gao Han said this, everyone present was already very clear.

"You mean, use Michu to fill the gap in Diego Costa?" Cantalero asked again.

Gao Han shook his head, "No, no, no, his range of activities is much smaller than Diego Costa. Diego Costa is more comprehensive than him. He can pull the edges and fight alone, but Michu's threat can only be in the middle, and his one-on-one ability is not strong."

"He's a striker who can use it very interesting. Going forward, you can grab the top in the penalty area, and his running position will become very deadly. When our ball cannot effectively break into the 30-meter area, his retreat can also bring great tactical effects." Pochettino quickly captured Gao Han's meaning.

Gao Han smiled slightly, "More importantly, after retreating, he can still step forward to form a second-tier attack."

"But we need the side road." Pochettino soon thought of it again.

Mi Chu's range of activities can only be in the middle lane. His ability to go up and down is indeed very interesting. He can be regarded as a pseudo-center. Similar to Capello's use of Totti during his coaching Rome, it will be very fatal if used well, but he needs to cooperate on the side lane, especially Mi Chu's characteristics.

"According to his characteristics, we need to widen the tactical width on the wing and then send the ball into the penalty area through the wing." Pochettino said.

Gao Han laughed: "We have a lot of talents on the sidelines. Kavajal and Alba are both full-backs with strong offense and weak defense. Hazard and Aubameyang can create opportunities on the sidelines, De Bruyne and Firmino can also play on the sidelines. We do not lack wing players at all."

"But it's not enough. We need a middle, pass him and cooperate with him. Neither Ander Herrera nor Schneiderlin can do it."

"James Rodriguez, De Bruyne, Firmino and Isco are all competent." Cantalero took the conversation.

For players like Michu who have excellent running abilities, if there are teammates around him who can set off defense for him, he will be able to exert a huge threat. In Chinatown, there are not many such players.

Hazard, De Bruyne, Firmino, James Rodriguez and Isco are all competent for such roles.

"Once he retreats, Aubameyang can go into the penalty area with the opportunity. I believe this will also be a very sharp offensive tactic." Cantalero is now more excited.

Pochettino nodded repeatedly, outlining the tactical style of Michu's joining in his mind.

Simply put, it is the pseudo-center tactic of turning from the original double striker to the front midfielder to the three strikers.

Gao Han, Pochettino and Cantalero are both professional coaches, and they immediately discussed it. The hidden dangers brought by Diego Costa's departure were actually filled in by them.

Even Pochettino felt that if the attack was organized according to Gao Han's ideas, Chinatown would be even more threatening.

This also made him look at Gao Han again and immediately filled with admiration and even a little ashamed.

He knew in his heart that since he coached Chinatown, Gao Han had always entrusted him with important tasks and never interfered in the team's tactics and team formation strategies. The team's outstanding performance in the past also made him a little arrogant, thinking that he could do well and did not need anyone's guidance, even Gao Han.

But now, he has to admit that there are people outside of people and there are heavens outside of heaven.

From Gao Han's decision to sell Diego Costa and introduce Mi Chu, he is not worse than himself in his familiarity with the team, and he may not even have fully stimulated the true strength of Chinatown, but Gao Han has never intervened once.

Only this time, Diego Costa's sudden transfer did disrupt everyone's position. The league is about to start again, and Gao Han had to break an exception, but it was precisely this time that Pochettino admired Gao Han and was overwhelmed.

After selling Diego Costa, Gao Han would introduce a role-player like Michu to make the team's offense rise instead of falling. With this move, Gao Han would not know how much better he is than him.

"Mr. Gao Han, I have no objection, but I hope you can promise me something." Pochettino said to Gao Han.

"you say."

"In the future, whenever you think I am not doing well, please be sure to point out that I have just started coaching and there are still many things to learn. I hope you can help me." Pochettino said sincerely.

Gao Han smiled, "But I really think you did a pretty good job, really."

The more he said this, the more ashamed Pochettino felt, but he also knew that Gao Han had received his meaning.

"Since Maolicio also agreed, then... Armando, immediately negotiate with Vigo Celta to take down Michu."

Armando Marcos was listening with a big head, and finally got the chance to appear. He nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I must negotiate a good price."

"Real Madrid also quickly arranges people to follow up and negotiate as soon as possible." Gao Han sighed and laughed: "After selling Mkhitaryan and Diego Costa, the funds for the new stadium have been implemented. The project must be tighter and the quality must be optimistic."

Everyone present also looked solemn and nodded.

"By the way, how did it handle the introduction of Raphael Varane from Lens in Ligue 1?" Gao Han asked again.

This is the only signing from Chinatown this summer, originally to fill the vacancy of Otamendi.

"We have already negotiated with Lance, and Varane is willing to join Chinatown, but he is still studying, Otamendi stays in the team again, and Lance's request, so we decided to lend Lance a free season."

Cantalero's decision was very beautiful. He not only got the players, but also had a good relationship with Lons, creating a win-win image, which would also be of great help to Chinatown's future signings.

Now, the stages of Chinatown’s new season can be said to be set up, it depends on whether this drama can be performed well.
