April 20th, Middlesbrough Riverside Stadium.

After Gao Han's return to the UK, his first game successfully attracted the attention of the whole UK.

The riverside stadium, which can accommodate more than 35,000 fans, is full, but not all of them are home teams. There are many fans who come specifically for Gao Han. They hung banners in the stands and shouted loud slogans to welcome Gao Han's return.

After two years of separation, British fans hope to have a glimpse of the high-altitude style.

Before the game, Middlesbrough head coach McLaren talked with Gao Han for a long time. The local coach with good coaching results this season was happy about Gao Han's return, and also joked that he hoped Gao Han could show mercy.

As a former Ferguson assistant coach, Gao Han is no stranger to McLaren and responds with a smile that he must do his best.

Relive the atmosphere of the British League, Gao Han felt a sense of familiarity and slight warmth.

But football matches are cruel.

Riverside Stadium is a nightmare for giant teams this season. It tied Liverpool in the league round, then defeated Arsenal 2-1, and later defeated Manchester United 4-1 and defeated Chelsea 3-0, all of which performed very well.

McLaren also made him famous because of his outstanding record when facing a strong team.

However, McLaren lost 0 to 7 away and 0 to 2 away, both of which made McLaren mixed praise and complaints.

But no matter what, McLaren is definitely not to be underestimated at the Riverside Stadium.

Gao Han knew the horror of the British team at home, so he also attached great importance to this game, but considering that he had to take on Juventus on the weekend, he had to perform appropriate rotations.

Fortunately, Inter Milan's technical and tactical framework has become increasingly mature, and its rotation strategy is also skillfully operated, which has no big impact on the team's combat effectiveness. The team also insists on playing with me as the main method of playing in the game and firmly controls the initiative of the game.

But both sides persisted until the 44th minute before Inter Milan scored a goal by Recoba.

After the second half of the game, Middlesbrough counterattacked, but was soon suppressed by Inter Milan.

Then the Nerazzurri launched a strong attack from the 75th minute, and in the 81st minute, Stankovic scored a goal and defeated Middlesbrough 2-0 away.

Although it was a complete victory, the game was very difficult.

And the morning after playing Middlesbrough...

…………

…………

"Knock~Knock~"

"Please come in."

Gao Han sat behind the desk, raised his head and saw Cantalero standing at the door, shaking the stack of letters in his hand at him with a smile. It looked really a lot.

"I just sent it, a letter from your fans." Cantalero walked in, put the stack of letters on Gao Han's desk, and pointed to the letter at the top, teasing: "Here, the letter from your little Israeli fan."

"Thank you." Gao Han nodded and smiled.

"Hey, I said, you have written letters with her for several years. It's so old and I've used msn these days."

Gao Han laughed, "Do you want to care? We like to write letters. Do you know what pen pals are?"

"Penpal? I guess it's more than that. She started at Atletico Madrid, went to Chelsea to Inter Milan, chasing you all the way, but it's that simple for penpal?" Cantalero looked like a detective expression that must be in trouble, "By the way, does Lin Xia know?"

"I know, she helped me reply some letters." Gao Han replied frankly.

Lin Xia also thought that the little girl was really interesting.

Cantalero was speechless immediately. He really couldn't understand. Is it really just that simple as a pen pal?

But just after Gao Han took the letter from Israel at the top, he was attracted by the email below.

The email is rectangular, the size of a4 paper, and is wrapped tightly on the outside. There is no address of the recipient and the sender on it. It only says the recipient in English, Gao Han.

"Who sent it?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

"I don't know, the security guard at the door didn't pay attention to when it received it." Cantalero replied naturally.

Every day, many fans from all over the world deliver things to Gao Han, and they have long been accustomed to it.

Gao Han picked up the email and shook it in his hand. There was no movement inside, which was a little strange.

"What? Worry about it being a bomb?" Cantalero teased.

Gao Han replied angrily, "It's good that it's a bomb. I'll throw it to you before the explosion." As he said that, he picked up the letter-demolting knife on the table and skillfully cut the seal of the email.

It turned out that there was a small paper box inside.

Gao Han lifted the cover of the paper box, and a layer of foam popped up inside. The foam filled the entire paper box and wrapped a small USB flash drive in the middle. No wonder he couldn't hear any movement even when he swayed from outside.

"What?" Cantalero was also surprised.

Gao Han took out the USB flash drive, looked at it from the front and back and forth, but he didn't understand at all. Who gave it? What's inside?

Thinking of this, Gao Han turned around the laptop on the desk and inserted it directly.

"Hey, will there be a virus?" Cantalero reminded.

Gao Han suddenly realized, "Well, it makes sense, use yours."

After saying that, he immediately stood up from the table and walked to the next door.

Cantalero was so angry that he really wanted to slap himself two times in the face. Why are you talking so much?

When he chased him next door, he happened to see Gao Han inserting the USB flash drive into the laptop he just bought. At that moment, his face muscles twitched and his heart was bleeding.

But when Gao Han opened the USB folder in his computer, Cantalero was attracted by the dense folders in the folder.

These folders are almost named by numbers, and they seem to be related to the year, because the front of the numbers are 2003, 2004 and 2005.

"What?" Cantalero lost his voice in surprise.

Gao Han was also surprised and couldn't understand at all.

After seeing the abnormality between the two, the other people in the coaching room moved closer.

When they saw the folders on the USB flash drive, they were also confused.

Gao Han controlled the mouse and clicked into one of the folders named 20040810. There was an audio file inside. Gao Han immediately double-clicked the mouse to open the audio file.

As soon as the audio file was opened, a conversation came immediately.

"Hey." This is a strange voice.

"Jiji, where are you?"

Gao Han almost heard it when he heard it. This was the voice of Juventus general manager Moji.

"I'm just about to leave." The stranger replied.

"Oh, but... has the referee arranged it?"

"Well, Vander is one of our best referees..."

"I know, but Mikoli's goal is a good goal," Moji said again.

"no."

"It's a good ball, it's a good ball!" Moji suddenly became excited.

"No, he's offside." The stranger replied, "You know, Vander is the best..."

"But you know, this ball may..." Moji interrupted the stranger, "Let's put all our hopes on the road, which is a gamble for us."

"I don't like that assistant referee very much, absolutely not, but let's think about the other one, he has given Trezeguet a lot of help."

"This is another matter. I'm already thinking about the Stockholm game, how about it?" Moji asked.

"Try it, my god, this is really a game."

"No, we have to win, you know, this is what I said..."

The audio came to an abrupt end, but Moji's voice was deafening, which made Gao Han and his assistants dumbfounded.

"Chacha, whether Juventus has any games on August 10, 2004?" Gao Han was the first to wake up and looked at Sergio Garcia.

The latter immediately entered it into his laptop and found it quickly.

"Yes, the third round of the Champions League qualifiers home game, the opponent is Sweden's Zogatons."

Gao Han frowned, "It's obviously after the game, but who is that person?"

No one can give Gao Han an answer, but everyone knows that this matter is far beyond their estimates.

Behind the folder in 20040810, there is also a folder named 20040824. After opening it, it is still an audio file inside. Gao Han immediately clicks to open it.

"Hey." Moji's voice came.

"Good morning, Mr. Moji, I am Mr. Pailetto's secretary, Moreno, I want to talk to you about the candidates for the referee and assistant referee for the Champions League tomorrow night."

"Is the referee Cardoso?"

"No, we're seeing Graham Pole."

"Uh...what country is he from?"

"English."

The voice paused for a moment, and there was a silence.

Gao Han knew that Graham Pohl was a famous world-class referee in England, that is to say...
