World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 456 The Mysterious Man's Invitation

Under the leadership of Gao Yuan, Maritimo is not only on the right track, but also on a fast track of rapid development.

The team's results have been winning consecutively. In the standings, Porto is tightly biting, firmly occupying the second place in the standings.

In the management of the team, it has obtained the sponsorship of many influential big brands. Although most of them are Chinese brands, as the record is getting better and better, some European and American international brand sponsors have begun to show strong interest in Maritimo.

The construction of the team's new stadium is advancing in an orderly manner. Now the relevant procedures and bidding have been completed, and it has entered the substantive construction stage.

Moreover, through her father’s relationship, Yan Ruyu included the construction of the new arena in the catalog of Sino-Portuguese cooperation assistance projects under the “Belt and Road Initiative”, changing from a purely non-governmental action to an official action with a strong ZZ color. Although the main body of investment has not changed, the official will provide experts and technical support, and the Portuguese government will also provide more convenience for the project in terms of taxation and approval.

These are all tasks that are obvious to the outside world on the bright side, but in private, Gao Yuan has done more.

Especially in the introduction of young talents, Gao Yuan, based on the principle of "spend a small amount of money to achieve big things", quietly introduced many young players with amazing potential from the private sector and some unknown clubs.

These players either did not fully demonstrate their talents due to lack of systematic training; or lacked enough opportunities to play due to poor relations with the club; or suffered huge changes in their careers due to injuries and other influences.In short, there are all kinds of problems, and they fail to show the performance in line with their own potential.

But because of Gao Yuan's existence, these geniuses who were left behind were secretly thrown into the bag by Gao Yuan.

In time, the names of these people will surely shake the European football world.

Although these players were temporarily unable to register for the Maritimo first team because they missed the registration window, they were incorporated into the reserve team.However, Gao Yuan's requirements for them are not low. They train completely according to the training intensity of the first team, and formulate individual training plans according to their respective characteristics.

Gao Yuan believes that when the registration window reopens in the middle of the league and these players enter the first team, Maritimo's strength will increase exponentially. By then, the "top three Portuguese Super League" will be no problem.

As for Gao Yuan's personalized training plan, it has been rumored in Maritimo that it is miraculous!

Previously, Gao Yuan gave the 6 young players a separate training plan, and they achieved results very quickly. They broke through the "ceiling" of their potential. Under high-intensity targeted training, their various attributes and abilities increased significantly, which can almost be called the speed of progress visible to the naked eye.

Now, the players all want to get a set of "personalized training plan" customized by Gao Yuan.

In short, the development of Maritimo Club is going well.

In the fan satisfaction survey conducted by whoscored, an authoritative European statistical agency, Maritimo ranked first among the clubs most satisfying fans in Europe this season with a satisfaction rate of 99.42%.

For this honor, Gao Yuan said in a high-profile interview:

"Compared with the satisfaction rate of 99.42%, I am more concerned about the remaining 0.58%. It seems that our work is still not in place, and there is room for further improvement."

Since then, some European media have given Gao Yuan the nickname "Insatiable Chinese"!
During this time, one more thing happened.

在里斯本时间9月30日19:00（BJ时间10月1日3:00）举行的一场葡超联赛中，马里迪莫主场迎战塞图巴尔。

Before the game, the Chinese national anthem "March of the Volunteers" was specially played at the Dos Barores Stadium.

The fans in the stands held up a giant banner written in Chinese and Portuguese: "Thank you, China!"

According to the official statement, the reason for this move is to celebrate the friendship between Funchal and Marina. According to some media analysis, it is because the Chinese government included the construction of the new Maritimo stadium in the list of key aid projects under the "Belt and Road Initiative", and the Portuguese Football Association, Funchal City Government and Maritimo Club expressed their official gratitude.

But when the media interviewed local fans, the answer they got was: "Chinese head coach Gao Yuan is our savior."

"Wang Zi is my favorite Maritimo player"

"Chinese players played really well"

"Chinese capital has brought new life to Maritimo"

"I love Maritimo, I love China"...

By the second national team training day, the Portuguese Super League had already played 11 rounds, and Maritimo had 10 wins and 1 tie. Porto, which had previously ranked first, was upset by Braga because of being distracted from the Champions League group stage. It fell behind Maritimo again in the standings.

In the Portuguese Cup match, Maritimo once again defeated the Portuguese Super League Guimaraes team 3:1 with a substitute lineup in the sixth round, advancing to the quarterfinals.

Maritimo's record was outstanding, so Gao Yuan gave the team a 10-day long vacation.

The players were on vacation, and he took another day to deal with the many chores at hand, and then began to continue his journey of hunting "monsters" all over Portugal.

Now Gao Yuan is very familiar with this set of operations. How to sort, how to choose monsters, and how to negotiate are all familiar.Moreover, even more smoothly than before, the current Maritimo is far from the previous Wuxia Amon, and being caught by Maritimo has become something worth showing off!
This reduces a lot of trouble in the negotiation.

When Gao Yuan finished transferring to the ninth administrative region of Portugal, he suddenly received a call.

The person on the other end of the phone invited him to come to his yacht for a talk.

According to common sense, Gao Yuan should refuse without hesitation. If you invite me, I will go?Didn't I have a face-to-face meeting?

But there was a name on the other end of the phone that he couldn't refuse.

A luxurious Rolls Royce stopped at the door of the hotel where Gao Yuan stayed.

Walking out of the car, a blonde OL girl was dressed in a black professional suit, which could hardly conceal her bulging figure. He smiled at Gao Yuan very professionally and skillfully, "Mr. Gao Yuan, please get in the car."

The car drove all the way to the pier, and then Gao Yuan followed the OL to board a small boat that was already ready to go.

The small boat briskly sailed a long way into the sea, and finally came to a luxurious yacht.

The yacht is more than 130 meters long and is divided into three floors. From a high distance, you can see many beauties in cool clothes with different skin colors playing on the swimming pool and sunbathing platform on the yacht.

"Tsk tsk, rich people really enjoy it!" Gao Yuan smacked his lips. This kind of scene was only seen in movies before.

Gao Yuan followed the blonde OL girl into the cabin. There are actually 4 cabins inside the yacht. When entering the innermost cabin, Gao Yuan seemed to have walked into the large study of a European-style mansion.

After Gao Yuan, the blond-haired female OL, led him into the study, she smiled sweetly at him and left.

A middle-aged Portuguese stood up from the large soft chair next to the bookshelf.

There is no doubt that he is the master here.

"Hello, Mr. Gao Yuan!"

"Hello, Mr. Jorge Mendez!"
