Chapter 993 A joke of fifty million euros

Griezmann is indeed going to Chinatown!

This transfer was quickly recognized by Real Sociedad and Chinatown. The French winger will join the Madrid southern suburbs team for a transfer fee of 10 million euros to fill Aubameyang's vacancy.

The transfer soon attracted the attention and discussion of fans in Spain and around the world. Many foreign fans expressed curiosity, what is the origin of Anthony Griezmann? He was able to make the stingy Chinatown pay 10 million euros?

Sell ​​Radio Gold Medal anchor Dela Morena soon revealed on his ace show that Griezmann is the outstanding left winger of Real Sociedad, 21 years old and French, but he had come to Spain a few years ago to receive training at Real Sociedad.

"As far as we know, in fact, when Chinatown decided to introduce Ilia La Mendi, Gao Han had already contacted Griezmann through Cantalero. At that time, he was still playing for Real Sociedad's youth team. That year, Real Sociedad's second team, which Ilia La Mendi played for, was relegated from the third-level league, and Griezmann was also very moved by Chinatown's invitation."

"It's a pity that Real Sociedad is very optimistic about Griezmann. Chinatown's finances were not abundant at the time, so it was unable to convince Real Sociedad and he had to give up in the end. However, he had been secretly paying attention to Griezmann's performance and progress, especially in last year's World Youth Championship. Griezmann performed well, which once again attracted the attention of Chinatown."

"After Aubameyang left the team, Chinatown's technical team quickly locked in Griezmann."

"Although he is a left winger at Real Sociedad, he is not tall and fast. As a Spanish trained winger, he can also break through, but what makes him most eye-catching is his outstanding and comprehensive skills. His left and right feet can complete dribbling, passes and shots, and he also has a precise crossing and excellent free kick skills."

"The most rated Griezmann by the technical team of Chinatown is his running, his physical fitness is excellent, his running position is very flexible and smart, he has a strong presence on the court, has a lot of touches, and is very calm. He can appear in the most correct position and do the most correct thing at the most correct time. This is very rare among young people."

"Technical Director Cantalero told me that Griezmann is in a critical period of his career. He believes that joining Chinatown can take Griezmann's career to go a step further and complete the transformation, which is also the reason why he can convince Griezmann to join Chinatown."

"The relationship between Chinatown and Real Sociedad has always been good. The central defender Igor Martinez had also given it to Real Sociedad at a low price, so this time Real Sociedad did not make things difficult for Chinatown. The transfer fee of 10 million euros was released for Griezmann."

If de la Morena just spread the subject matter to everyone on the show and made this French young player familiar, then the comments made by Chinatown coach Pochettino at the press conference introducing Griezmann's joining made everyone realize the importance of Chinatown.

"Yes, he never played right before, but after his first day on the team and after attending the team's first training session, he told me that he liked and was confident that he could adapt to this new position, which could make him closer to the goal and make him more threatening."

Pochettino also mentioned that Griezmann still has many shortcomings that need to be improved, but he is a young player, only 21 years old, and everyone should give him more patience.

"I believe he will surprise us all."

Real Sociedad's left winger, the right winger who went to Chinatown to play against the back foot, and the evaluations of Dela Morena and Pochettino undoubtedly gave everyone a new understanding of Griezmann.

However, in Chinatown's pre-season training preparations, Hazard gradually took on the core burden of the team's offensive in the frontcourt and became the team's best performance in the frontcourt.

In the midfield, after Marcos Senna went to the American Major League, everyone found that Ilia La Mendy's main position was not reliable, and the performance of the young player Kante, introduced from Paris Saint-Germain, in the warm-up match, was illuminated.

The short Kante became the most unexpected player in the pre-season training camp, and even began to shake Ilia La Mendi's main position, and everyone once again exclaimed that Chinatown had found a treasure.

Especially after the media digging in depth, they found that Kante was appointed and dug out by Gao Han. He was personally crafted by Marklele in Paris Saint-Germain and highly praised and praised by Zidane.

As for the defense, Danilo and Alex Sandro naturally took over the main position of left and right full-backs, but Montoya, who joined Barcelona and Moreno, who joined Sevilla, were not willing to be outdone and launched an attack on the main position.

Chinatown is full of talents in the new season, which is exciting.

…………

Saint-Germain León, western suburb of Paris, France.

Gao Han leaned against the barbed wire, squatted by the training ground, holding his chin and frowned, and silently watching the players training.

Anyone who sees him will realize at the first time that he is paying attention to observing and thinking about something.

Zidane quickly handed over the training ground to Maclale, walked out of the training ground, came to Gao Han, sat next to him on the grass, straightened his legs, giving people a very lazy and casual manner.

"I don't understand, why do you think Di Maria should play in the middle?" Zidane asked curiously, grabbing his bare head, which is also a question that many people cannot understand.

"Feeling." Gao Han answered concisely.

"Feeling?" Zidane smiled bitterly. Isn't this too unreliable?

Di Maria spent 50 million euros to introduce players. If this feeling is unreliable, it would not only mean that the players' future development will be a huge loss to the club.

"Sometimes I can't explain it clearly, it's a vague feeling." Gao Han explained.

Zidane could understand it, as if many people had asked him why he could have such dreamy performances on the court, but what did he say? There was really no way to explain this kind of thing clearly, it could only be said to be a feeling.

He is able to use technical movements more reasonably on the court than others, he is able to see the opponent's weaknesses in tight defense, he is able to accurately predict the teammate's next step, and pass the ball to the point in advance.

It is an instinctive feeling that can only be understood but not expressed.

Gao Han turned his head, looked at Zidane, who was unable to touch his head, and laughed.

He is very optimistic about Zidane. The Frenchman is one of the greatest and outstanding superstars in football history and a thinker on the football field. If he is willing to study and devote himself to coaching, he will definitely become one of the best head coaches in the world because he has a kind of football wisdom that ordinary people cannot understand.

It was like Guardiola brought out by Gao Han himself.

"Have you ever read the last column I wrote during the European Cup?" Gao Han asked suddenly.

"Yes." Zidane nodded, "I have read every column of yours."

"In the last column, I mentioned a trend presented in the European Cup, where the technical and tactical styles of various countries are gradually integrating, especially when teams such as England, Italy and Germany have begun to catch passes and controls."

"Well, yes, I have noticed this trend, and I agree with your judgment very much." Zida said in conscience.

"But this is how professional football is. It always hovers between restraint and anti-restraint. When passing and controlling gradually becomes the mainstream trend and controlling the ball is increasingly valued, then the next step is how to improve the threat and efficiency on the offensive end."

"I understand." Zidane nodded, it was not difficult to understand.

"When Spain played against Italy in the first game of this European Cup, Bosque's idea was very exquisite. I later discussed with him in depth. He hoped to use passes and running to pull Italy's defense line and use the strikeless tactic to confuse Italy, but Italy was unmoved, which made Spain at a loss and lacked threat in the offense."

"In that game, Spain's offense was not sharp enough, there were too many unnecessary passes and controls, and the oppression was not done well, so it gave people the feeling that Spain was too obsessed with passing and controls, but in fact it was because the offense and defense were not converted quickly enough."

When Zidane heard this, he suddenly felt his eyes lit up, "You mean..."

"That's right." Gao Han nodded, and it was comfortable to talk to smart people. "So think about it, after Torres and Navas went up, Spain's ball control declined, but the offense became more threatening. In the final, Bosque also learned from the previous lessons and finally was able to kill Italy perfectly."

Zidane finally understood what Gao Han meant at this time. After all, this was a truth that Gao Han had been telling him.

Ball control is not the core purpose, the ultimate goal is to score goals and more goals.

Controlling the ball without scoring is a hooligan.

Paris Saint-Germain's midfield pass and control ability last season was enough, with Pastorre, Yaya Toure and Pirlo, these three midfielders able to ensure the team's midfield control, but the team's offense failed to play a real threat.

Gao Han decided to make adjustments this season. Veteran Drogba in the frontcourt will retreat to the second line, Suarez will be in the center, Neymar and Aubameyang will be divided into two wings, Brazilian players are the core of the offensive in the frontcourt, and the midfielder is Di Maria, Yaya Toure and Pirlo, which obviously needs to speed up comprehensively.

Add to Marcelo on the left, it is expected that Paris Saint-Germain's offensive strength will increase sharply this season.

"But what to do with the defense? Can Di Maria provide enough defensive support to the midfielder? And he has never played in the midfield and has been on the wing, so he can play as a midfielder. Is it OK?"

Gao Han shook his head at this, "It's hard to say, Di Maria is a very smart player. I talked to him in Madrid. He wants to give it a try because it's difficult for him to get a chance in Real Madrid, and I think he can bring what we want to do in midfield, so I'm willing to give him such an opportunity to try it. Let's talk about it if it's OK."

"Sometimes, the most important thing in transforming a player is that he has the intention and can accept it. As long as he accepts it himself, everything will be much easier."

Zidane agrees with Gao Han's words very much.

"The tree is moved to death, the person is moved to life. Di Maria, who is holding her on the side, may not have much prospects, and her shortcomings are obvious. Maybe he will live in the middle, what do you think?"

Zidane smiled. He was not as optimistic as Gao Han, and believed that the management of Paris Saint-Germain was also helpless.

Di Maria was originally provided to Gao Han by Antero Enrique as a signing from the right winger, but unexpectedly, Gao Han wanted to buy him for the central defender. This 50 million euro joke was indeed a bit big.

Only Gao Han can be so willful in the world.
