Chapter 365

Bruce Barker is a famous securities investment lawyer in America.

As early as before Abramovich's acquisition of Chelsea, he was the Russian's Royal Investment Consultant. This time, he also participated in the whole process of the acquisition and dutifully safeguarded the interests of his employer.

After the acquisition, he was appointed chairman of Chelsea by Abramovich.

But this is the first time he has been in charge of Chelsea for so long.

From the moment he entered the shabby gate to the moment he saw the poor training facilities around him, he could not believe that this was the training ground of Chelsea. It was incredible that the blues team, which had spent 200 million euros this summer, had to train in such a dilapidated warehouse.

Fortunately, he saw the cold on the training ground, otherwise, he would have suspected that he was going the wrong way.

He was accompanied by his secretary, Duff Bernard.

After receiving the notice, the team leader mills kept waiting. As soon as he saw the car, he immediately came out.

After a while of greetings, they all looked at the training ground one after another.

"This is the second training session?" Asked Bruce Barker.

Mills shook his head. "No, three drills a day is the period of physical reserve. Now it's over. The intensity of training has been reduced. There are only two drills a day. This is the training class in the morning and there is another one in the afternoon."

"Oh." Bruce Buck finally understood something.

As an American, if you talk about rugby with him, he must be wise. But when it comes to football, he doesn't know much about it. He just feels vaguely that alpine doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the training.

Soon, Gao Han called a pause and called everyone to his side again.

"Zlatan, I've said many times, don't stick to the ball. Your task is to hold the ball and pass it, not to show off your skill. You should know that we don't need this kind of show off."

"And, Juan, you should be more brave, you know what I mean? Although I didn't ask you to do this, you should take the initiative to make some brave decisions according to the changes in the situation. I believe in your decision, OK

"John, William, when Claude goes up, you must follow him. The two full backs should be in the front position. Pay attention to our two sides. Do you understand?"

"I understand." The players answered in unison.

Gao Han deeply looked at Ibrahimovic, a 21-year-old Swedish center with a rebellious nature. He seemed unconvinced and couldn't help laughing.

"John, William, you're going to the yellow team now."

"Listen to all the Yellow players. I give you a privilege. As long as Ibrahimovic gets the ball, you can do whatever you want, even kick him. As long as it's not dangerous, I won't call a foul."

"It's the same with the red team. Arjan Robben has the ball and they can do whatever they want

Not to mention that all the players on the field have broken their eyes, even mills on the sidelines, and even Bruce Buck, a layman, are stunned. Is that ok?

"Boss, how can there be such a thing?"

"It's not fair!"

Ibrahimovic and Robben protested in unison.

But Gao Han teased them with a smile, "then don't give them a chance."

Two people immediately full of dark clouds, and then look at the side of that group of bad team-mates, do not want to know what they are thinking.

Sure enough, after the two teams started training again, Ibrahimovic and Robben received special care, especially Ibrahimovic. Under the joint care of Terry and Gallas, the Swedish center almost suffered a lot.

The habit of playing football always made him want to play two hands as soon as he got the ball, but as a result, Terry and Gallas soon lit up the bottom of their feet, shoveled others over, and even kicked their feet several times.

It's not just the two centre backs who do it, but the other players who seize the opportunity to do it.

This immediately made Ibrahimovic a big headache.

But the Swedish center is also very strong temperament, not to admit defeat of the main, just tit for tat against Taiwan, it really let him have a few beautiful performance, won the applause.

Even the cold in the field have to nod wry smile, "if this boy can practice out, absolutely will be very terrible."

With the body of the top high center, but no less than the delicate skills of short players, Ibrahimovic is the pronoun of perfect center.

But now his biggest problem is his personality, as well as his playing characteristics, which need to be improved.

"Carlos, find a chance to practice his shooting. I heard that when he was in Ajax, he learned half from van Basten and can't give up halfway." Gao Han said.

This perfect center, no outstanding shooting ability, how to line?

Cantarello is a little worried, "will he have an opinion?"

"Opinion?" Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "I told him when I was in Holland that if he wanted to become a top center, he still needed to suffer some hardships, and he also said that he was not afraid of suffering. Now is the time for him to prove that if he can't suffer any small hardships, then he can't become a top center at all."

Cantarello thinks it makes sense.

It's easy for a lot of people to think that top professional players rely on talent, but they don't.

It's hard work!

The European professional league has gathered the most outstanding talents in the world. There are an endless stream of players with outstanding talents, but few of them can succeed. Even a group of young rookies will emerge in every League every season, but few of them can succeed in the end.

In the final analysis, talent is not enough for professional players to succeed. They have to work hard and bear hardships.

What Gao Han is doing now is relatively strict, and he has higher requirements for Ibrahimovic. If he can't stand it, then in the Premier League, his opponents will be more difficult than they are now.

Now the team training, the players still have some scruples, can really come to the court, the opponent is really eager to take you off the field.

Therefore, it's true to say that alpine cold is right.

From the training ground, Ibrahimovic although very angry, but it seems that he is more unconvinced.

This is a good phenomenon.

…………

…………

After a 90 minute training session, everyone was exhausted, especially Ibrahimovic and Robben, who suffered from black feet. Their socks and jerseys were covered with grass and soil, which made them very embarrassed.

Captain Terry also knows how to be a man. Just now he has a black foot on the training ground. Now after the training, he takes the initiative to introduce the healing secrets for Ibrahimovic and Robben. They are about the same age, but they seem to have some common topics.

Gao Han noticed Bruce Barker on the sidelines and walked out after saying goodbye to the players.

"It was a wonderful and intense training." Bruce Barker came up with a smile.

"Thank you." Gao Han nodded his thanks.

They walked to the side of the road side by side, and their secretary, Duff Bernard, was a little behind them and didn't disturb them.

"The boss called me. We have to apologize about Trevor Borch. I promise that the same thing will never happen again."

Trevor Bocci's bombardment of Makelele's transfer is more or less suspected of transfer contradiction. This is his personal decision, and the management has not participated in and authorized it, which is also very clear.

So, at the time of the incident, he didn't ask the management. On the contrary, Bruce Barker and others were shocked. In particular, Abramovich's personal phone call made them even more frightened.

Alpine, is now the top and bottom of the power of a Chelsea.

Even, the operation of many departments of the club are deeply influenced by him, and even take him as the leader.

This also has something to do with the chaotic management of the club since the acquisition.

Abramovich has invested 200 million euros in the team, and Gao Han is the core figure. Naturally, the management dare not be careless, so Bruce Barker was ordered to explain and appease himself.

"Trevor Borch's contract is very troublesome. There are several other senior managers in the same situation. We are also discussing with them about the solution. I believe we will have an answer soon." Bruce Barker seems to have a headache.

Acquisition is only the beginning, and then the reorganization and integration is the problem.

"I understand that you can handle the matter at Stamford Bridge. There will be no problem with Harrington." Gao Han said confidently.

"Well, with you, I'm relieved."

…………

With the deepening of pre-season training, Chelsea began to welcome the warm-up game.

Alpine arranged a total of six warm-up games this time, and out of the requirements of the running in team, five of the six warm-up games are English low-level league teams, and one is Celtic team from Scotland.

As the biggest team in the summer transfer market, with a total investment of 200 million euros, every move of Chelsea has attracted the attention of the British and even European media.

Fans all over the world are eagerly looking forward to it. I don't know what the high cold can make this 200 million Legion look like.

As a matter of fact, the debut of Chelsea really caught the eye.

Four to zero, the blues beat a third level team away from home, even the cold can not name the team.

The whole game, the blue team firmly suppressed the opponent, but also showed the rudiment of the pass control system, attack is also a model, the means are very rich, so that the blue fans are exhilarating.

However, at the internal summary meeting after the game, Gao Han publicly criticized the players' performance and expressed his dissatisfaction with the game process.

Just three days later, the team played another game, this time a close win of one to zero.

Interestingly, the outside media and fans are generally not satisfied with the team's performance, thinking that the team did not really play at the level, but Gao said he was very satisfied at the summing up meeting.

"We didn't make a threatening attack, but we did quite well in suppressing opponents and passing and controlling the ball."

After a period of time, Chelsea played three warm-up games in a row, both good and bad, the performance is also ups and downs.

Until the sixth game, Chelsea finally ushered in a real opponent, Celtic.

But in the end, after losing the ball in the first half and struggling to fight back in the second half, Chelsea finally reversed their opponents 2-1 with the help of Ronaldinho and Terry's corner kicks.

If the previous warm-up games were acceptable, then the attitude of the coaching staff, the media and the fans was very consistent.

too bad!

Even the cold and the coaching staff are gradually aware of a fatal problem they have ignored in the past month.

That is... (to be continued)
