Chapter 593 Will That Be You?

Since entering the door, Pochettino has been paying attention to Gao Han.

He found that Gao Han was not a person who liked red tape. On the contrary, he was very honest and straightforward, and liked to go straight to the point.

So, when Gao Han asked a question, he knew that this was the interview he was going to receive.

"To be honest, Mr. Gao Han, I am very interested in your coaching resume, and we all know that Chinatown is the first team you have ever led. It can be said that you are on the coaching path from here."

With Gao Han's reputation in European football in the past few years, he was abandoned by Barcelona and fell into Madrid. His deeds of coaching an amateur team have also been talked about by countless media and fans, which has given Chinatown a magical color.

"You are like the media reporters and fans outside, want to see if there is really a secret to winning here?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Guardiolaja laughed, while Pochettino shook his head.

"No, no, Mr. Gao Han, you misunderstood. I don't have that gossip spirit, but I believe you must have done something right, so you can lead Chinatown to defeat the strong opponents and win the championship in the amateur cup. This team can also be upgraded every year, and now it is at the third level."

Gao Han's resume is amazing, but the rise of Chinatown is also amazing.

When Chinatown was included in the Spanish youth training system, everyone was still a little suspicious, and even thought that Gao Han used his role as a technical consultant to win benefits for his team, but now, no one will doubt it anymore.

In the past few years, Chinatown has sent away players, some are still hovering in the lowest level league, some have reached the Spanish Second Division or even the La Liga, while Chinatown has been moving up step by step.

Perhaps, this team is well-known because of Gao Han, but it uses its legendary journey of upgrading every year to make countless fans pay attention to it and even like it.

Nowadays, let alone Fuen Lavrada, even in southern Madrid, countless young people like to wear Chinatown's red jerseys and Chinatown's red flag logo, and regard this team as their home team.

"Ok." Gao Han clapped his hands hard, stood up from his seat, and pointed at Pochettino, "Come with me."

Pochettino was a little surprised and didn't understand, but when he saw Gao Han get up and walk out, he quickly followed Guardiola.

Gao Han and the two walked out of the living room and went directly to the third floor of the office building of the Youth Training Center.

There is a room on the third floor, which is very large in size. After opening the door, there are some shelves inside, which are filled with various materials, including video tapes, and vcd discs...

This is the first time Pochettino has been here. Looking at the long rows of information shelves in front of him, he feels an unprecedented shock, especially when he looks carefully, he will find that these information shelves are all distinguished.

"This is the intelligence of most players we have collected from our establishment to the present, not only Spain, Europe and South America, but also here. We will continue to develop in Africa and Asia in the future."

Pochettino nodded in confusion, but he still felt very unbelievable.

"This is just some information. We will also follow some players for a long time, especially those that our scouting department focuses on, such as the newly-known young player Neymar in Brazil."

Pochettino has heard of this player, who is said to be the most talented and potential superstar in Brazil after Robinho.

"Many people know that he came to Real Madrid for trial in 2005, but in fact, we were paying attention to him before Real Madrid, but unfortunately, he was not interested in our invitation."

This is not surprising at all.

Brazil's domestic economy has improved a lot in recent years. Many players are unwilling to leave their motherland as early as before, but are more willing to stay in China to grow. Neymar rejected Real Madrid because of this.

But what Pochettino didn't know was that Mendes once pursued Neymar and wanted to recruit him. Unfortunately, Neymar's father had a lot of ideas and decided to set up his own agency company to be responsible for the business of Neymar, and was only willing to maintain a cooperative relationship with Mendes.

"Come here with me again."

Gao Han greeted the two of them, closed the door of the information room, and walked to a transparent glass curtain wall office opposite.

From the outside, there are a few young people working in front of the computer inside, which is no different from an ordinary office building.

"We are now promoting informatization. We have our own software system that stores and tracks player information. This was developed by us in 2005, and we invested a total of 2 million euros."

"Two million euros?" Pochettino was shocked.

This is already a good player in La Liga.

But soon Pochettino realized a problem, in 2005.

In other words, the entire Chinatown youth training system and scouting system, as well as all the things he saw were founded by Gao Han during the year he took a break after leaving the Chelsea coach.

But no one has paid attention to all of this.

Because the media and fans are not interested.

"If you pay attention to the results of the Youth League in the surrounding areas of Madrid, you will definitely find that our youth teams of all ages have excellent results. I can even say that we are better than the youth teams of giant teams such as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid."

Pochettino nodded and said, "Yes, and you have also contributed a lot of international players to the Spanish national teams at all levels."

"You're right, but we're not satisfied with that."

Gao Han made an invitation to invite Pochettino and Guardiola to walk to the balcony on the third floor.

Standing on the balcony, you can overlook the entire youth training center, and the various film venues are intertwined in an orderly manner.

"From the establishment of Chinatown Youth Training Center to now, it has been a total of seven years. In these seven years, we have been step by step to the third-level league today. We have done a lot of things because we know that we have no money and if we want to survive, we must take a different path than other teams."

Buy low and sell high, this is the consistent feature of Chinatown in the past seven years. In addition, relying on its good relationship with Atletico Madrid, Chinatown can always get some players with high cost performance.

But Chinatown has always insisted on investing in youth training.

"Over the years, our goal has not been to Spain. After the first Genius Day event, we began to actively organize scouting systems abroad. For example, in 2005, our scouts went to Belgium to track a youth team championship, and then sent us a player's information."

"At that time, Cantalero, Sergio Garcia and others thought he was very outstanding, but at that time, many teams, including Ligue 1 Lille, were interested in him, so I went to Belgium in person and convinced the players' parents to bring him to Chinatown."

When Pochettino heard this, his eyes lit up, "Mr. Gao Han, are you talking about the Belgian young player Eden Hazard who shined in the European Youth Championship this summer?"

Gao Han nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's him."

This was decided on the spot after he used his ignite eyes to investigate, and it took a lot of effort to dig him to Chinatown.

"Last summer, when I was coaching Inter Milan, I fell in love with an Italian child from a football school near Pescara. As a result, I went to Pescara to convince him to switch to Chinatown. Not long ago, we just dug up the captain of their U13 team from the youth training camp of a Tolsey team in France."

"In addition, we also have our own channels in South America. Neymar was the one before. This summer, we also dug up a thirteen-year-old player and an offensive player with great potential from a football school in Cordoba, Argentina."

Pochettino looked at Gao Han in front of him with some disbelief. He seriously doubted whether Gao Han had a pedophile?

Otherwise, why would he go around the world to collect so many players of his age?

"Do you know why I told you this?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Pochettino shook his head, he understood a little, but he didn't understand very well.

"I want you to know that the youth training center you are seeing will become a treasure house of stars that all of Spain, Europe, and even the world, all teams and all giants are coveting, but what I really want to do is to bring the team to La Liga in the next few years, and then rely on the group of stars we have cultivated ourselves to conquer everyone."

Pochettino was stunned.

crazy!

This is really crazy!

He made Chinatown team rise from the lowest level one step a year, not only was he not satisfied, but he also wanted Chinatown team to play in La Liga and even European football with his youth training players.

If these words were not from Gao Han's mouth, he would definitely sneer, because it was impossible.

But the person in front of him was Gao Han.

A head coach who has never been defeated since his debut, a mentor who is more accurate than anything else, and a legendary figure who is always creating impossible miracles...

He had no way of doubting Gao Han's ambition.

The only thing I can do is admire and envy.

Looking at the entire European football world, no, the only one who can do such crazy things in the world is Gao Han.

But his approach is also very wise, because if he wants to lead a team to rise from scratch and rise in the top league, he either invests huge amounts of money or strengthens his youth training skills like Gao Han.

Guardiola had heard Gao Han talk about this long ago. He was full of expectations for this, but was worried that Gao Han would not be able to do it. It was a very contradictory mentality.

Gao Han was completely immersed in his eager desire for the future. He knew very well that all he had done was not impossible, because he not only had a group of future superstars with unlimited potential, but also because he had a coaching system.

In order to make the players better, he even spent a huge amount of money to buy a youth training program suitable for young people and can stimulate the potential of young players in the coaching system, and arranged it to become an important training program for Chinatown Youth Training Center.

Therefore, in the past few years, Chinatown has been able to buy low and sell high so smoothly, and cultivate one young player after another.

He always believed that he would succeed.
