Chapter 1,101 The Coach Is Determined by Money

Manchester United's third warm-up match is against the Chicago Fire.

Manchester United swept the first two games by a huge margin, not giving any face to the host country. The Chicago Fire were so frightened that they did not dare to take advantage of the geographical advantage. They defended and counterattacked, turning a friendly match into a sniper battle.

After consecutively sweeping their opponents, Manchester United has successfully established its prestige and failed to kill the Chicago Fire. Otherwise, the Flames' defense would not have been able to hold on even with an iron barrel formation. In the end, Manchester United only scored 3 goals, and in the end they let it go. Scored a goal for the Flames.

The Chicago Fire felt very proud. After the game, they happily exchanged jerseys with the Manchester United players and hosted a banquet for the entire Manchester United team.

It was already around 12 o'clock at night when the Manchester United players returned to the hotel. Gao Xiaodong had just walked in. He was in a room alone when his cell phone rang. It was Wei Ge, chairman of the Football Association.

Gao Xiaodong guessed that Wei Ge might be doing it for the purpose of selecting a coach. Although the Chinese team won the game against Laos by a large score and almost locked in the promotion spot, the process was worrying. Some fans on the forum even claimed that some players did it on purpose. If you want to lose this game, at this time, a coaching change is imminent.

Sure enough, Wei Ge was talking about the selection of a coach. What made Gao Xiaodong unhappy was that Wei Ge said that the Football Association planned to choose Camacho because Yida Group took a fancy to Camacho. If the Football Association chose Scolari , Yida Group may not pay Scolari an annual salary.

Gao Xiaodong said with a cold face: "How much annual salary does Scolari want?"

Wei Ge said: "He will bring a coaching staff, which will cost a total of seven to eight million euros."

Seven or eight million euros? Gao Xiaodong felt a little bit pained. This was not a small sum. There was not much difference in level between Camacho and Scolari. When Camacho was paid by Yida Group, let the Football Association spend millions of euros to hire Camacho. Scolari is almost impossible.

"How much does Camacho and his coaching staff cost?"

Wei Ge said: "About 5 million euros."

Gao Xiaodong gave up completely. He would definitely not pay for the Football Association at this price. Maybe he could consider one million, of course in RMB.

Money is really a good thing. Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and didn't know what to say. Then he thought again, what does it have to do with him who is the head coach? Which foreign coach has really controlled the Chinese team for so many years? It's not the same as the players. Even if there is support from the Football Association, it will still be ignored.

It doesn't matter if he is Camacho or Camacho, if he dares to get in trouble with himself, he will be killed.

"Since someone is paying the bill,

Then he must be a bastard because he is cheap but not profitable. Chairman Wei, why are you asking me? "

"What? So you support the Football Association's selection of Camacho?" Wei Ge was overjoyed. He didn't care that what Gao Xiaodong said was unpleasant. What he was most afraid of was that Gao Xiaodong would not accept Camacho, and Yida Group only For Camacho, the Football Association was in trouble at that time, not to mention that the time was so tight. It was less than a month before the top 20 World Cup qualifiers. How could he have time to convince Gao Xiaodong or Yida Group.

Gao Xiaodong said angrily: "I don't support it. I don't have the money to hire foreign teachers for your football association. I'm going to sleep." After saying that, Gao Xiaodong hung up the phone directly.

Wei Ge held his cell phone and punched the table with his fist in anger, "What the hell, uneducated."

Although Gao Xiaodong was very angry, he finally solved the coach problem. Wei Ge immediately called Xue Qing, the manager of Yida Group, and agreed to hire Camacho as the head coach of the Chinese national team. Later, he would invite domestic football experts Evaluate Camacho with reporters, and as long as there is no big controversy, Camacho will be signed.

The decision of the Football Association was expected by Yida Group, but Xue Qing did not expect the Football Association to be so efficient. "Chairman Wei, the national football team is about to collapse. If the coach's matter can be determined before the second round against Laos, It would be better so that Mr. Camacho would have the experience of playing in a qualifying match."

Wei Ge said: "I'm afraid it's too late, time is too tight."

Xue Qing said: "Forget it if it's too late, Chairman Wei, there is one more thing that you need to take action on, which is the matter of the Star of Hope. Our chairman hopes to gather back the group of Star of Hope players who were originally sent to Portugal and let them Go to Spain to receive higher-quality training and let them become the future team of the National Youth Team."

Wei Ge said awkwardly: "Manager Xue, I'm afraid this is not easy to handle. No one asked about Star of Hope before Chairman Long stepped down. It was all supported by the self-raised funds of Xinglong Brokerage Company. Now it is taken back. I’m afraid it doesn’t make sense with either emotion or reason.”

When Xue Qing heard this, she said unhappily: "Chairman Wei, the players of the Star of Hope were sent by the Football Association at that time. The Football Association also contributed money and effort, so how could they just give them to private individuals? We, Yida Group, do not want to We keep the Star players as our own, and we are here to cultivate talents for the country.”

Yida Group is one of the largest companies in the country. Wei Ge neither dared nor wanted to embarrass them. In addition, Wei Ge didn't know the relationship between Xinglong Agency and Gao Xiaodong, so he said: "Okay, Manager Xue, I'll go back." Let Lao Cao, who is in charge of youth training, say hello to Chen Qiang."

Xue Qing was very happy and said: "Then I'll leave it to Chairman Wei."

…

The next day, Manchester United held an interactive event with American fans at Toyota Stadium in Chicago. After the event, Gao Xiaodong had just returned to the hotel when Emma Watson called.

"Hey Gao Xiaodong, you have been in the United States for so many days and you haven't even come to see me or even called me. Do you still have any conscience?"

Emma Watson knew that Gao Xiaodong had a tight schedule and might not have time to see her. She was busy filming and had no time to come and see Gao Xiaodong. However, Gao Xiaodong didn't even call, which made Emma furious.

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "I wanted to wait until I finished the game with the major leagues before going to Brown University to surprise you. I didn't expect you to be so impatient."

Emma was not fooled by Gao Xiaodong and said, "So it's my fault?"

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "No, we are both right. We just didn't expect to go together."

Emma said: "Then who can want to go with you?"

Gao Xiaodong heard the displeasure in Emma's words, and he quickly said with a smile: "Of course it's us. Most of us are on the same channel. Occasionally something goes wrong, so we have to communicate frequently."

"Stop being so glib." Emma said, "Then when do you plan to come see me?"

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "After we finish the warm-up match with the major leagues, we will have a day off and then return to Europe. I will visit you and then go back alone."

Emma said calmly: "That's not necessary. I might already be in Egypt at that time."

ah! Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "Then I'll take a day off to see you tomorrow. You're still in Rhode Island."

Emma snorted, "You still have a conscience, otherwise you won't be able to see me when you come to the United States this time. I'm at the airport now. Come and pick me up."

"Ah!" Gao Xiaodong was stunned holding the phone.
