With Van der Sar's height, no matter where he goes, he is the focus of everyone's attention.

But it was obvious that he was a regular customer of this coffee shop, so after entering the door, he politely greeted the fans who recognized him around him, went to a remote private room, and invited the coffee shop owner to come and explain it.

Afterwards, he sent Gao Han a text message and passed the address of the coffee shop.

In less than ten minutes, Gao Han walked into the private room accompanied by the coffee shop owner.

"It's so nice to see you, Edwin."

"So too, Mr. Gao Han."

What surprised Van der Sar was that Gao Han came alone and did not bring any assistants at all.

As if he noticed Van der Sar's surprise, Gao Han sat down and explained with a smile, "I'm just like you. I just hosted today's training in Harrington. After that, the club informed me that I had an agreement with Fulham, so I called Mr. Coleman and came to find you."

Van der Sar smiled bitterly. He felt that the head coach of the 200 million army was really impatient.

However, sitting up and walking is very energetic as a young man.

"Edwin, as you know, we sent a offer to Fulham, and they accepted it, and we hope to invite you to join us in Chelsea and become our goalkeeper." Gao Han said straight to the point.

Van der Sar nodded, "I know, but I'm very surprised, why is it me?"

"Then do you think, why can't it be you?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Van der Sar was speechless, and he really couldn't say what he was thinking in person.

Fortunately, Gao Han was just a joke and didn't make things difficult for him.

"I'll say that, in fact, we almost became colleagues as early as Atletico Madrid, but unfortunately, for some reasons, we missed it."

Van der Sar nodded, he knew about this, and even felt a little regretful.

"I know Frans ****." Gao Han said.

When Van der Sar heard this, his face changed slightly, and he was a little surprised, but he soon realized, "Are you in Barcelona?"

"Yes." Gao Han nodded.

"You know, what Frans did in Barcelona is incredible. He has brought revolutionary changes to the training of Spanish goalkeepers. He not only trained Barcelona youth goalkeepers such as Renner and Valdes, but also affected the goalkeeper training in Real Madrid and the entire Spanish football world."

Van der Sar didn't seem surprised, "He is indeed a very amazing person."

Gao Han’s words were not timid, but facts.

The changes brought to Barcelona by Van Gaal far exceed the imagination of ordinary fans. Franz **** is part of it. Even after Van Gaal left Barcelona, ​​Franz **** still often took the time to give speeches in Spain, imparting his experience and experience in goalkeeper training.

Gao Han heard his assistant Pedro Harrow mention Franz **** more than once, and almost always had a very admirable tone and expression, which shows how profound the changes Franz **** has brought to the Spanish goalkeeper training.

"To be honest, Frans and I are not particularly familiar with you, but I have heard him mention you more than once, and he said you are the best player he has trained so far."

Van der Sar was a little excited when he heard this, but soon became lonely again.

"That's already something in the past."

"No, no!" Gao Han shook his head, "I don't think so."

Van der Sar raised his head and looked at Gao Han strangely, which was very puzzled.

"I've learned about your situation at Juventus. I think that going to Serie A is a mistake. Your characteristics are not suitable for Serie A. They all shrink to defend and cannot give you so much room to play. But you shouldn't be the kind of goalkeeper who is crouched in the small penalty area."

When Van der Sar heard this, his expression changed significantly. He did not return to normal like before, but was a little excited and nodded, "It is true that as you said, I am completely unacceptable to their training methods."

In the eyes of ordinary fans, the goalkeepers seem to be the same and are the most indistinguishable position.

But in fact, there are also huge differences in the goalkeeper.

Just like Cech, he is the typical goalkeeper who dominates the penalty area. He can put the entire penalty area into his own control, and Van der Sar is the same.

For this type of goalkeeper, you can't ask them to shrink into the small penalty area, which makes them very uncomfortable. Not only can they not play their strengths, but they will expose their shortcomings.

It's like putting a player close to two meters in a 1.5-meter-high area, forcing him to bend over. Can he still play flexibly in this situation?

Relatively speaking, Italian goalkeepers are basically small penalty area type, which has a lot to do with Italy's retracted defense. Kudicini is this type of goalkeeper, and goalkeeper Buffon is the same, but Buffon's personal ability is too outstanding, even against the will of the sky, with almost no shortcomings, so he is also very dominant in the penalty area.

But no matter what, putting a small penalty area goalkeeper into a team that defends at a high position is bad in itself, just like Cudicini's situation at Chelsea.

On the other hand, putting goalkeepers like Van der Sar into teams with a retracted defense is also not possible.

What's more, Van der Sar's problem is not just the activity area.

FIFA revised the football rules that when the goalkeeper faced his teammates' return pass, he could not use his hands. Since then, there have been two completely different differences about the goalkeeper's training route.

One believes that the most important thing for goalkeepers is to keep the goal, which is the hands. They have the best skills under their feet, and they don’t have any skills, so they often do not pay attention to the training of foot skills when training goalkeepers.

When the teammates pass the ball back and the opponent presses it, the most preferred choice for this type of goalkeeper is to open a big foot, so that the faster the ball leaves the dangerous area, the better.

Another concept is to advocate the pass-by and control method. Their concept is that they must not easily hand over the ball to their opponents, so they generally do not allow the goalkeeper to kick the ball when receiving the pass back. Since they cannot use their hands, they must strengthen the goalkeeper's pass-by and control technology and make the goalkeeper a part of the team's pass-by and control system.

Frans **** is the practitioner of this concept, and Van der Sar is also the goalkeeper trained by this concept.

From the Ajax era, to Juventus and then to Fulham, Van der Sar's skills under his feet have always been quite good, especially during the Ajax era. What he is best at is that when the team pushes out, he also goes out to the outside of the penalty area and becomes a member of the team's passing and control system.

But this style of play requires the overall cooperation of the team, especially the defense line.

"I've seen you play in Juventus and Fulham, and I think many times, there are often differences in ideas and habits between you and your teammates."

"Last season you made a very serious mistake. After getting the ball, the opponent's forward intercepted the ball and scored a single shot. This made you beat you up like never before. But when I was watching a video, I was thinking, what are those guards doing when they ran up so far? Shouldn't they come back to receive your pass?"

After hearing this, Van der Sar smiled, but his eyes were filled with warmth, as if he was happy to find someone who understood him.

"You know, not all goalkeepers have this courage. They are more important to avoid mistakes, kick forward with one big foot. Anyway, if they pass it in front, if they lose it, someone will naturally rob it, but you don't."

Gao Han said this, his eyes were fixed on Van der Sar, "I like this very much!"

Van der Sar was really moved this time, and it can even be said to be a little moved.

He knew that Gao Han had really understood him and admired him, otherwise he would not be able to say these details.

This is something he has never encountered in Juventus or Fulham.

"To be honest, Edwin, you are only 32 years old. As a goalkeeper, he is in his year of playing. I hope you can seriously consider our invitation. I promise that at Chelsea, you will definitely get a more suitable space for playing."

Van der Sar returned to his calm again, still seemed calm and calm. After hearing Gao Han's words, he nodded slightly, "I need to think about it carefully."

"No problem." Gao Han didn't plan to ask Van der Sar to agree today, "We will contact your agent right away."

Van der Sar nodded and agreed that both sides entered the negotiation process.

In fact, he didn't have much choice, because Fulham had agreed.

As a professional player, he knew very well that Gao Han came to talk to him in person out of respect for him, which made him grateful. If he refused, it would be difficult for him to stay in Fulham again.

At least, Chris Coleman is now confident to use the tens of millions of euros to sign up.

Moreover, the meeting with Gao Han made him feel confident that at least, Gao Han would understand him more than Chris Coleman.

A head coach who understands him better, an environment that is more suitable for his performance, and maybe his salary will even increase...

Van der Sar really couldn't refuse all the advantages.

…………

…………

In fact, negotiations with Van der Sar's agent went surprisingly smoothly.

The players themselves have agreed to join, Chelsea is eager to seek talent, Van der Sar's salary is high for Fulham, but for Chelsea, it can only be considered a mid-level player, and it is acceptable to add some appropriately.

Therefore, after two negotiations, the two sides quickly reached a consensus and quickly signed the contract in just two days.

When Chelsea announced that they would introduce 32-year-old goalkeeper Van der Sar from Fulham for 10 million euros, the entire English football world was once again shocked by Gao Han's actions.

Even this time was more surprising than any previous one.

Buy a goalkeeper who is 32 years old with ups and downs in performance for ten million euros?

If Marclayle is not young but at least performs well in Real Madrid, then Van der Sar's performance at Fulham cannot be considered good, and at most it can only be considered passing.

But such a player actually spent 10 million euros on Chelsea?

Tips! Money laundering! Black gold transaction!

All kinds of rumors and revelations began to spread among the British media, and even Chelsea fans became worried.

However, Gao Han and Chelsea did not come forward to clarify the various speculations from the outside world, but instead tried to dig into the team's training.

The first Premier League battle is imminent, Gao Han has no time to deal with the media.

But in the eyes of the media and some fans, this is a sign of guilt!
