Chapter 146 This World Is as I Wish
Gao Han came to the hospital and found Old Hill's ward, but he was not there.
I went to the nurse's station and asked, and they said I went for a walk in the park.
Next door to the La Paz Hospital is the Medical School of the Autonomous University of Madrid, and to the south is the Sports City of Real Madrid and the Northern Park of Madrid.
The North Park is not big, so Gao Han and Lin Xia found Old Hill easily.
This fat and bloated old man is so conspicuous no matter where he is, especially his character.
Obviously he was not feeling well and should be in a wheelchair, but he was fine, he insisted on throwing off the nurse's hand and walking by himself, yelling from time to time, causing the surrounding patients and family members to stare at him dissatisfied.
But unfortunately, he didn't care.
Gao Han looked at him from a distance, shook his head and laughed.
There is a saying that is good, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change.
"I'm relieved to hear that your voice is still so loud and powerful, Mr. Hill!"
Just when the nurse didn't know what to do, Gao Han appeared with a smile on his face.
Old Hill was leaning on crutches, trembling, and when he saw Gao Han, he immediately smiled, "It's you."
"How is it? Are you feeling better?"
"Well, it's all right. I ate well and slept well. If the doctor didn't force me to stay, I could go home." Old Hill looked very cheerful, and his tone was not small.
Gao Han noticed the helpless expression of the nurse, and smiled slightly, "Let me come, you take a rest first."
The nurse immediately expressed his thanks as if he had been pardoned, and went to the side to rest.
It can be seen that greeting this bad-tempered old man is hard work.
"What came back?" Old Hill asked.
"Two hours ago."
After hearing this, Old Hill looked at Gao Han with obviously warmer eyes, but he soon sighed again.
"Accompany me for a walk over there." The old man pointed to the east.
Gao Han nodded and wanted to help, but the old man insisted on doing it himself.
Knowing his character, Gao Han didn't force him, and let him go.
Leaning on crutches, he walked to the edge of the park step by step.
Standing on the hill next to the park, you can overlook the training ground in the Real Madrid Sports City.
But in the past two days, Real Madrid's training camp has not yet started, and there is no one on the training ground, which seems very deserted.
"You should have seen it when you came, right?" Old Hill leaned on a cane with one hand and pointed forward with the other.
Gao Han nodded and hummed.
"That's Real Madrid's Sports City."
"I know."
Old Hill didn't find it strange either. In Madrid, there are many people who don't know the location of Atlético de Madrid, but there are probably very few people who don't know the location of Real Madrid's sports city.
"I think you are somewhat blaming me in your heart." Old Hill said with a sigh.
His tone was telling, not asking.
Gao Han did not deny it, and asked himself, he felt that he did a good job in the second half of Atletico Madrid, and he was fully worthy of a contract extension, even if the team was promoted to La Liga.
But in fact, Atletico Madrid did not choose to let him stay until the end.
How can it be possible to say that there is no complaint or thorn in my heart?
Without complaints, Gao Han would not let Mendes contact Valencia, and even promised to lead the Bat Corps to win the championship.
But Gao Han didn't speak, he wouldn't be so stupid as to say what he thought in his heart.
At the very least, he and Old Hill haven't gotten to know each other so well.
However, he vaguely sensed that Old Hill probably just wanted to resolve this matter when he brought him here.
But this old man's character is never subdued, and it is even more difficult to get him to admit his mistakes.
"I know what people outside have always thought of me." Old Hill said again suddenly.
Gao Han is not surprised, he can guess everything.
How can Old Hill be as simple as everyone outside has heard?
"But I never paid attention to it." The old man said rather domineeringly.
"I have done many things in my life, and in the eyes of many people, I may have done a lot of bad things, but there is one thing that I have always been proud of, and I have always stuck to it."
When Gao Han heard this, he couldn't help turning his head and looked at the old man beside him.
Under the sun, his bloated and fat face was full of indescribable pride and pride.
"I have never done anything to be sorry for Atletico Madrid. As a member of the Sheets, I just wanted to run the team better from the beginning to the end, until..."
Gao Han understood that he was talking about going to prison.
"That was the most painful and regretful moment in my life. When I watched the team relegated, I felt like the sky was going to collapse. I felt that everything was meaningless. I had no idea. Overwhelmed."
Even at this moment, recalling the day when the team was relegated a year ago, the old man's face is still full of complex emotions called pain, guilt, and shame.
One can imagine how painful and guilty he must have been a year ago.
"After our team was relegated, many people laughed at me, do you know why?"
Gao Han shook his head, he hadn't come to Madrid yet.
"Because I once said that as long as you can beat Real Madrid, relegation doesn't matter."
When Old Hill said this, he sneered, "As a result, the world is such a bastard. I really did what I wanted. We defeated Real Madrid, but after the season ended, we were relegated. You said, isn't it ironic? ?”
In the season when Atlético de Madrid was relegated, in two games against Real Madrid, they defeated their opponents at the Bernabeu 3-1 away and drew 1-1 at home, which was considered a complete victory.
"Do you know why I hate Real Madrid so much?" Old Hill asked suddenly.
Gao Han still shook his head, he really didn't know.
This is also what he has always felt very strange, because logically speaking, although Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are in the same city and both are well-known Spanish giants, they do not have deep grievances with each other.
But why does Old Hill hate Real Madrid so much, and even shouted that as long as he can beat Real Madrid, the team's relegation doesn't matter?
Old Hill seemed to be calming down, or sorting out his thoughts. After a short silence, he spoke again.
"Have you heard about Raul?"
"Yeah." Gao Han nodded, "He came from our youth training camp."
Gao Han's words about us made Old Hill smile with relief, "Yes, he grew up under our youth training system since he was a child. He first went to the football school we cooperated with, and was later promoted to the club's youth echelon. , and shined in our youth team, and I noticed him early on."
Hearing this, Gao Han was surprised.
If it is said that Old Hill noticed Raul early on, why did Raul leave in the end?
Also, what does this matter have to do with Old Hill's hatred of Real Madrid?
He spoke in a hurry just now, and Old Hill had to stop and take a breath before continuing.
"At that time, everyone in our club valued Raul very much, so even though he was not the best star in our youth team at that time, in fact, there were at least three players in our team who performed better than Raul. To be outstanding, the evaluation is higher than Raul, but we still choose Raul as captain and give him the No. 10 jersey."
At that time, there was no so-called Bosman Act, the circulation of players was not strong, and the club relied more on its own youth training.
Atlético Madrid's approach has been regarded as cultivating Raul as the core of the future.
"I can still clearly remember that it was 1992, and many things happened to us in that year."
"I promised before that the team will build a youth training base, but because in the past few years, many powerful stars including Paul have been introduced, which has improved the competitiveness of the team and also increased the financial burden of the team. As a result, the plan for the youth training base had to be temporarily shelved."
"Even at that time, we had to disband the third team of our youth team, because after discussion, our management agreed that it was enough to have the second team as a buffer for the first team above the regular youth echelon. A team of three."
"You know, it costs a lot of money for the three teams to play in the league every year. After all, we are not a big club."
Gao Han understood what Old Hill meant.
Spain's youth training is a bit special, that is, above the formal youth training echelon, there are two teams and three teams, and these two teams can participate in professional leagues.
Just like Real Madrid and Barcelona now, their second and third teams are playing professional leagues.
Running back and forth for games requires investment from the club, plus the treatment and bonuses of the players, as well as the coaches, etc., after calculation, it is also a huge expenditure every year.
As for whether there are three teams or not, what impact will it have on the youth training, I am afraid it is difficult to say clearly.
In Spain, apart from the two rich and powerful teams of Barcelona and Real Madrid, there are really not many teams that form the third youth training team.
"Integrating the second and third teams naturally required dismissal of some youth training players, which naturally brought about a lot of controversy. In addition, the previous youth training base plan was not fulfilled, so there was a lot of controversy inside and outside the team."
Gao Han can also imagine this.
"But at this critical moment, the club's technical director Kano was exposed by the media for financial problems, and he himself took the blame and resigned because of this. This caused our team to fall into chaos in terms of youth training."
"At that time, there was nothing wrong with the management, but the team was in panic, especially the youth training camp. Everyone was at a loss. At that time, we were also busy with the affairs of the first team and ignored the youth. team, resulting in the delay in appointing an official to take over Kano's duties."
When he heard this, Gao Han had faintly sensed the truth.
"Real Madrid also stepped in at this time. They had long been optimistic about Raul. They contacted Raul's agent privately through despicable means, and quickly reached a consensus, and in as long as three or four months. Here, I called Raul every week, promised to give double the monthly salary subsidy, and tried every means to persuade him to join Real Madrid."
"That's it, our future leader finally turned to our sworn enemy in the same city!"
When he said this, Old Hill let out a miserable laugh.
It is not difficult to see that this caused him considerable regret and distress.
But is that the case?
Real Madrid obviously violated the rules, and Atletico Madrid just let it go?
Gao Han didn't believe it, Old Hill didn't look like this kind of person no matter what.
