Chapter 353

John Terry, 22, is a native of London.

Since he joined the youth training camp at the age of 14, from the youth team to the reserve team to the first team, he has steadily improved all the way and has always been the best of all ages.

He entered the first team in 1998, but mainly played some Cup games. He didn't get a firm foothold until 2000. In the 2001-02 season, he became the main centre back of the team and partnered with captain desailey.

At the side of desailey, Terry has learned a lot and made great progress.

Now, he is one of the captains of the team and seems to have a solid position.

But in fact, he knows his embarrassment better than anyone else.

After Abramovich bought the team, everyone speculated that he would make a lot of reinforcements, including Cannavaro, Nesta and Thuram. They are all in his plan. Moreover, it's not just media talk. He's really doing it.

Terry has his own channel of information, and Chelsea really want to join the centre back.

This makes him feel the threat, because he is only 22 years old. Although he is still young, his strength can't be compared with that of the famous central defender in Europe. Once the team introduces strong players, he is bound to become a substitute.

This is definitely not what he can accept, because he knows very well that what he needs is the training of the game.

But he also knows that the only one who can decide all this is Gao Han, the new coach.

So, after arriving in London, he sent out a greeting message to Harrington training ground.

As a local team leader, he should take on the task of welcoming the cold, but at the same time, he also hopes to take the opportunity to get in touch with the cold and understand the cold's ideas, so as to understand his own situation.

The next day, he arrived at the Ritz Hotel, which is not far from the Stamford Bridge Stadium.

The place they agreed was in the cafe of Ritz Hotel.

He thought he had to wait for a while, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the coffee shop, he was taken to the cold table by the waiter before he gave his name. It was obvious that the cold had already been explained.

"Nice to meet you, John." Gao Han stood up and held out his hand with a smile.

Terry noticed that there was only one person in the cold, which reassured him.

"Hello, Mr. Gao Han."

After they shook hands sincerely, Terry sat down across the cold and ordered a cup of coffee.

"Thank you very much for sending me a message yesterday. You know, I'm a stranger to everything in London. Your message makes me feel warm." Gao Han said thanks with a smile.

"It's very kind of you, Mr. Gao. It's an honor for all of us to invite you to coach Chelsea

Terry also responded politely, "I've seen a lot of your matches at Atletico Madrid. I really admire the style of football you play at Atletico Madrid."

"Thank you." Gao Han nodded and said with a smile, "although I am not familiar with the Premier League, I have talked with many people about the Premier League. I have also heard a lot about Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, and I always think that the team characteristics of Chelsea will be easier to adapt to my requirements than other teams in the Premier League."

When Gao Han said this, he was calm and unashamed, which made Terry admire him from his heart.

"Yes, Mr. Gao, we have been inviting coaches from the European continent to coach since 1996. First, Gullit, then, two Italian coaches, viali and Ranieri. They are excellent managers and have brought great changes to Chelsea."

For Terry's analysis, alpine is very agree.

It's true that Chelsea used to be a strong team in the Premier League, but that was in the 1960s.

Later, the blues went through several demotions, and even fell into the second level league for a long time. Their strength was not as strong as before. Until former president Bates took over the team, he increased his investment, and successively invited Gullit, viali and Ranieri to coach, especially viali and Ranieri, which brought a solid continental tactical framework for Chelsea.

Not only that, Bates also paid a lot of money to bring in European famous players including deselli, Petit, viali, Zola and so on, which greatly strengthened the strength of Chelsea. Not to mention, it also brought a huge improvement to the technical and tactical level of the team.

It is also from 1996 that the performance of Chelsea has been steadily improved and has been at the forefront of the Premier League for a long time.

Terry grew up in such an environment, a centre back from the Chelsea youth training.

What's more, he's obviously different from other English centre backs.

"I heard that you used to play in midfield?" Gao Han suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Terry was a little surprised. That was what happened when he was in the youth team and the reserve team, but he nodded: "yes, I have always been a midfield, but after entering the first team, because of the lack of central defender, and I was more in line, so I played in this position, and then gradually fixed it."

Alpine nodded, which is in line with the growth trajectory of young players.

"I have analyzed your situation in the Premier League in the past few years. Although a lot of data are not detailed enough, I can preliminarily judge that you have a very good ability to take and give the ball, which is very important to me

"Really?" Terry was waiting for that as soon as he saw it.

Gao Han nodded with a smile. "You know, in Madrid, I attach great importance to passing control. In the Premier League, I also insist that whoever can better control the rhythm and the ball power can dominate the game."

After a pause, Gao continued: "of course, the Premier League has the characteristics of the Premier League, which I need a little time to adapt to, but I always think it will not be a problem."

Terry's heart is very happy, he fully understand the meaning of the cold, but also understand the prospects of his new season.

"John, as the captain of the team, I want to hear what you think of the team at the moment."

"For example..."

"Tell me about your most familiar defence."

Terry thought about it and said, "Gallas on the left is a very strong player, but on the right..."

"What about midfield?"

"In midfield, Frank is a typical England player with excellent quality

Alpine or nod, Lampard this player is really good, but the specific whether meet his requirements, still have to see.

"For the time being, the attack problem is the most serious. During the winter break, the team suddenly decided to sell Hasselbaink and grenshire, which surprised all of us. It is also the reason why we failed to reach the top four of the league. Now Zola has decided to leave the team, so..."

The frontline problem is really serious, even more serious than the cold imagined.

In fact, Gao Han has vaguely heard that Chelsea suddenly decided to sell Hasselbaink and grenshire. The main reason is that President Bates made a fool of Abramovich in exchange for millions of pounds of cash to cash out.

But in any case, there is only one Gudjohnsen and youth team substitute Charlton Cole left in the team's front line, which is definitely impossible to meet the requirements of the team in the new season, and the recruitment is imperative.

Similarly, the midfield and the back line, even the goalkeeper position, all need to be strengthened.

Several veteran of the team, Zola decided to leave the team, deselli and Petit may be difficult to meet the requirements of the cold, Chelsea is sure to usher in a restructuring storm.

As for the specific recruitment, Gao Han has to meet Abramovich before he can make a specific decision on the target.

Although everyone outside said that Abramovich does not set an upper limit on the transfer budget, Gao must hear Abramovich's promise.

Otherwise, in case of exceeding the budget, what should we do?

Thinking of this, Gao Han looked at Terry again and said with a smile: "John, thank you very much for telling me so much, which makes me know the team better."

Terry was also very polite to Gao Han, and immediately showed humility.

"You are the captain of the team now and will be the captain of the team in the future. I believe that no one is more suitable for this position than you, so I hope you will bravely shoulder this responsibility, help me manage the dressing room well, and we will fight side by side."

Terry's face was full of surprise. He nodded and said, "of course, I'd like to, Mr. Gao Han."

"This period of time in the future will be very critical. The team will definitely send off a number of old players and welcome a number of new players. But I can guarantee that your position in my mind will not be any looser. You will be the most important one."

Terry looked at the cold with some admiration and kept nodding.

"But I also need you to promise me that you must give full play to the responsibilities of the captain and manage the dressing room well. If you need my help, I will wait for you at any time."

Terry knows that Gao is going to make him captain of the team and the backbone of the dressing room.

This is what he did not dare to imagine before he came, but now he desperately wants to grasp.

"Mr. Gao Han, please rest assured that I will do my best."

"Good." Gao Han is also very satisfied with Terry's statement, "I'm very happy to meet you, but I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I can only leave for the moment, but no matter what happens or what happens in the future, you are welcome to call me at any time."

With the cold, Terry immediately stood up.

"Yes, I see, Mr. Gao Han."

"Let's talk about it later."

After politely saying goodbye to Terry, Gao Han left the cafe directly, leaving behind the 22-year-old Englishman who began to look forward to the future.

Terry is not clear. One of the important reasons why Gao Han valued him so much is that he inspected Terry in advance and found that he was very suitable to be the captain of the team, and his ability was excellent.

The potential is as high as 180, which is absolutely the level of the world's top centre back. It is no less than Ferdinand of Manchester United.

Such an outstanding strength, extraordinary potential, but also is the root of Miao Hong's youth training legitimate players, naturally is the only choice to control the dressing room.

In the past few years, Chelsea has always felt like an international column. It has even set a precedent that there are no English players in the first 11 players, which has been criticized by the whole of England.

Therefore, now vigorously promoting Terry to the top, no matter from which point of view, it is a good thing with all benefits but no harm.

Alpine is a newcomer in the end. If you can have captain John Terry in the dressing room, it will undoubtedly help him to gain a foothold in Chelsea and control the dressing room as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why Alpine specially arranged this meeting.

As for the results, he was very satisfied.

Just think of meeting Abramovich, alpine feel big head（ (to be continued.)
