Chapter 55 Final Preparations
"After friendly negotiation, the Football Association agreed that I will temporarily not participate in the two world preliminaries on September 9 and 3. Please continue to support the national team."

After the Chinese team won the East Asian Cup, Chen Hao announced such a news through his Weibo account.

In order to prevent the emergence of conspiracy theories, he also specially matched a photo of himself and the leader of the Football Association Cai Zhenhua. In the photo, the two big figures of Chinese football, one old and one young, are smiling, and they are obviously on good terms. , We had a good conversation.

After the release of this news, the Chinese team's match against Hong Kong, China's top 9 on September 3rd... the ticket booking situation immediately dropped by 40% compared to the first round match, and the overseas betting odds also immediately increased the Chinese team's chances of winning. probability.

Mo Xiaohao, Chen Hao's life assistant, even jokingly said:

"You don't give scalpers a way to live like this... Be careful that they send you bullets!"

On August 8, the Atletico Madrid Club, which ended its commercial tour, was finally able to leave this fiery land-China in August was indeed very hot.

They left with them, as well as an appearance fee of 1000 million euros and commercial sponsorships with a total value of nearly 3 million euros. This trip to China can be described as fruitful.

Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Atletico Madrid's China tour has a total of four stops, the last stop of which is obviously specially arranged for Chen Hao, after all, it is his home stadium.

The four commercial games against Shanghai SIPG, TEDA, Evergrande, and Longfa were all overwhelmingly massacred without exception, but... since this is only a commercial game after all, Chen Hao played for a maximum of 45 minutes in each game. Will be replaced by Simeone, and the score has not expanded further. It is nothing more than a 6-0, a 7-0, 5-0, and an 11-1.

On the club's chartered flight, Atletico Madrid CEO Miguel Angel was comfortably lying on a soft sofa, and said to Simeone with a comfortable face:
"Diego, I regret that the trip to China is too short this time. China is so big and the business opportunities are infinite. If possible, we should hold at least one business competition in every provincial capital city! One competition is 300 million To start, I bet even Real Madrid and Manchester United can't get such a high price!"

Simeone looked at the inexplicably excited CEO, but he was not happy at all:

"Miguel, do you fucking know... when La Liga starts?"

Angel froze for a moment:
"……When?"

Simeone gritted his teeth and spit out a few words:

"August 8! Just eight days away!"

The time left for Atletico Madrid to prepare for the training camp...only the last week left! -
2015-16赛季的西班牙甲级联赛即将于8月22日开幕，相比之下，英超赛事却已经在8月8日拉开了序幕。

It’s a bit strange to say that the Premier League starts two weeks earlier than La Liga, and there is no winter break in winter, but the Premier League is known as the most intensive competition in the schedule...

——Of course, one of the reasons is the devil's schedule deliberately arranged for commercial considerations, but everyone can see that for players, the Premier League's schedule is definitely not reasonable.

Shortly after Atletico Madrid and his team arrived in Madrid, another major event happened in European football.

Real Madrid officially announced that the club signed Manchester United goalkeeper...David de Gea at a price of 4000 million euros!

In order to get this talented goalkeeper at the lowest price, Real Madrid can be said to have gone to great lengths, and De Gea's agent Mendes is full of tricks.

Manchester United's attitude from top to bottom is extremely tough, especially the head coach Van Gaal, who even released the cruel words of "I would rather let De Gea rot in the reserve team than sell to the club Real Madrid"!

In the first two league rounds of the new season, Van Gaal really fulfilled his promise and did not let De Gea play for even a second!

Even... not even entered the big list!

The two sides have completely torn their faces. If De Gea hadn't still had a little affection for Manchester United, I'm afraid he would have fought with his teammates in daily training, thus expressing his attitude and putting pressure on the club!
——Although this method is very low-level, it has been tried and tested repeatedly, but it will consume a lot of character and reputation in a short period of time...

Originally, although Real Madrid wanted to sign De Gea, they were unwilling to pay an exorbitant transfer fee. After all, there is only one year left in the contract between De Gea and Manchester United. As long as they wait another year, Real Madrid will not spend a single point Money to buy this local genius (the news at the time was that Manchester United priced 3500 million, but Real Madrid was only willing to pay 1700 million...).

But Chen Hao's joining Atletico Madrid pushed Real Madrid to the forefront. After a summer of negotiations, Florentino finally made up his mind and bought the top goalkeeper produced by Atletico Madrid!
Manchester United quickly filled the goalkeeper position: Van Gaal first introduced his fellow Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen with 1000 million euros, and then signed the Argentine goalkeeper Romero for free. Former Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes, they are not particularly short of goalkeepers.

Romero is of course very strong, the main goalkeeper of the World Cup runner-up and Copa America runner-up, but compared with De Gea who has already proved his top strength in the Premier League and Champions League, whether Romero can quickly integrate into Manchester United is obviously still unknown.

Chen Hao, who came by accident, finally slowly moved the entire football world.
-
The Atletico Madrid soldiers who returned to the base did not immediately engage in intense and exciting training. The 12-day Chinese commercial performance made everyone exhausted. Simeone had to postpone the training date to two days later.

The same is true for Chen Hao, but his tasks seem to be heavier than everyone else. In addition to adjusting his work and rest time, he also has to accept Spanish courses to ensure that he can adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.

The club is also considerate. Among the 340 million permanent residents in Madrid, they found a Chinese teacher who works in a local school, and gave Chen Hao one-on-one language tutoring every afternoon.

Raiola once made a suggestion. As long as Chen Hao agrees, this supernatural agent can immediately recruit a real beautiful teacher for him. In addition to language tutoring, he may also provide other more considerate services. ...

However, Chen Hao was not only unmoved, but refused righteously.

With his current physical condition of steel and iron bones, if he really had a beautiful teacher every day, he probably would not be able to learn a word of Spanish in another ten years...

No, maybe only certain words can be learned? -
On August 8, Simeone finally gathered all the players on the training ground.

Although they have rested for 40 hours, most of the players still have fatigue on their faces.

Simeone frowned:

"I know it's not easy for you, but you also know that there is only one week for us to adjust. Our opponent in the first round was No.4 in the second division last season, Las Palmas. They hardly know anything about it. This summer, their staff has changed drastically. Even if we study the video of last season, it doesn't have much effect, so this game will definitely not be so easy.

In the second round of the league, we will challenge Sevilla away. They have won the Europa League for two consecutive seasons, and they are already an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

As for the third round... perhaps no one would underestimate the enemy, right?Because our opponents..."

Simeone paused for a moment, and then said word by word:

"It is the strongest space team in the world in 2015, Barcelona!"

Seeing the solemn expression on the head coach's face, Chen Hao couldn't help laughing.

Play Barcelona in the third round?
What a delightful arrangement!
