Super Marshal

"What do you want from me?"

Gao Han asked with a smile, but he was skillfully boiling water, cleaning tea sets and preparing tea leaves in his hands.

This is his habit every morning. Drinking a cup of tea will make him energetic all morning. Even the coaching staff has followed him to develop this habit. If he doesn't drink tea for a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

It's a bit like being addicted to coffee.

"There are a few things that require your final say," Facchetti said.

Gao Han nodded, "Let's talk and listen."

Blanca immediately handed over a piece of information, "We have already identified a hotel for the team to stay in when they travel to Athens, Greece. This is the hotel's information."

Gao Han took the material from Blanca's hand and read it carefully.

The Champions League final is different from ordinary away games. Although there is a direct flight from Milan to Athens, which only takes about two and a half hours, Gao Han decided to leave early, four days in advance.

A very important reason is that he is worried that the team's preparations for Milan will be affected.

Although the Pinetina training base is very remote, it cannot withstand the tracking of media reporters. Especially before this Champions League final, media reporters and fans all over the world are paying attention to every move of Inter Milan. In this case, Gao Han Have to guard against it.

The team sets off early and keeps the schedule confidential, which is also conducive to the team's preparations.

According to Gao Han's proposal, after the thirty-seventh round of Serie A away game against Atlanta, they set off the next morning.

As for the players' families, they will arrive in Athens the day before the game. Gao Han will give the team a day off, and the team will also organize some activities to allow them to relax before the game and avoid the tension before the big game.

The management also attached great importance to Gao Han's proposal and quickly gave a positive reply.

"This time we chose a resort located on the outskirts of Athens, about fifty kilometers away from the center of Athens. It is a private club, and there are definitely no issues with security and privacy," Blanca said.

Judging from the information he provided, this is a top golf club, covering a large area. There is a five-star resort hotel in the club, equipped with complete training facilities, including a large outdoor swimming pool and a gym, and there is also a Pure natural football field.

"Have you gone to the site for inspection?" Gao Han asked with concern.

Blanca smiled and said, "I just led the team back yesterday afternoon, just in time for the game where we slaughtered Rome."

After laughing, Blanca continued: "After several colleagues and I went there, we were very satisfied with the facilities of the club. The club also promised that they would not disclose anything to outsiders during the five days before and after our stay. Accept the move-in and are willing to cooperate with our requirements in all aspects, such as catering and training facilities.”

"What about the cost?" Gao Han asked again.

Facchetti smiled after hearing this, "Before they set off, Massimo said, as long as it's suitable, no matter the price."

Gao Han is not surprised, this is very similar to Moratti's style.

In the past two years, Moratti and Inter Milan's management have agreed to all requests made by Gao Han. It can be said that they have given unconditional support to Gao Han and the coaching staff, and this time is no exception.

"This is the most high-end private club in Athens. It is not open to the public. The price and cost are indeed very expensive. But this time the club gave us a considerable discount. Our consumption within five days will not be higher than living in the city. How much to pay."

If Inter Milan lives in the city, they will definitely have to contact a training venue, which will require rent and various other expenses, which will be a huge expense.

On the contrary, like now, it is indeed more convenient to stay in a private club directly, and train, live and eat in one place.

"How far is it from the Olympic Stadium?" Gao Han asked again.

"The Olympic Stadium is located in the north of downtown Athens. There is an urban expressway that leads directly to it. The traffic is very smooth. I calculated that it only takes about thirty minutes, or even more than twenty minutes if it goes faster." Blanca replied.

"Have you been to the field?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

How could you give such accurate data if you haven't experienced it on the ground?

Blanca smiled awkwardly, "I took a taxi, ran back and forth, and checked with the taxi driver about the surrounding traffic environment. There shouldn't be much difference."

Gao Han nodded appreciatively towards Blanca. This is a capable person who does practical things.

Facchetti also cast admiring glances at Blanca, obviously very satisfied with Blanca's ability to do things.

After decades of absence, Inter Milan is back to the Champions League final. This time, Inter Milan is determined to win the championship. Moratti even went to Durini Street for a meeting in person and asked all departments to do their best to cooperate with Gao Han and the team. He will do whatever it takes. The price helped the team regain a Champions League championship.

Therefore, Blanca deserves praise for being able to do this.

Gao Han looked at the materials carefully again, then looked at Blanca, "What do you think?"

Blanca immediately felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders. After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "I think it's very good. Whether it's the hotel's service or the security facilities, they are all trustworthy."

Gao Han stopped hesitating immediately and nodded directly: "Okay, that's it, I believe you."

This sentence made Blanca feel quite satisfied.

After two years of cooperation, he deeply felt Gao Han's requirements for details, and now he can hand over the team's food and daily life for the four days before the finals with just a few words and a piece of information. What kind of trust it is. ?

The water was boiling, Gao Han skillfully made tea, and soon a cup for each of them was served to them.

"Is there anything else?" Gao Han asked while drinking hot tea.

"That's it." Facchetti took over, "UEFA arranged for us 17,000 tickets for this Champions League final, and after discussion, we decided to take out 2,000 of them and distribute them to sponsors. and family members of players and employees.”

According to the ticket distribution method for the Champions League final, it is generally divided into three parts. UEFA and the opposing sides will receive similar tickets. The capacity of the Athens Olympic Stadium is 55,000 people, and Inter Milan and Chelsea will each receive the same amount. There are 17,000 tickets, and UEFA has been allocated more than 20,000 tickets.

"But, is it too much to take out two thousand to divide in one go?" Gao Han frowned and asked.

According to the market situation outside, if a football ticket is sold outside to a scalper, it can be sold for at least five to six thousand euros. But now taking out two thousand tickets at once is indeed a big deal.

There are only a few sponsors, and the tickets allocated are relatively fixed. It is the players and employees who really benefit.

"You know, the players are working hard and the staff are very caring. Without everyone's concerted efforts, the team would not be able to reach the finals. Therefore, the club cannot be too stingy this time, right? "

Gao Han didn't have any objection, it was just a matter of favor.

"Okay, you decide."

Facchetti nodded, this matter was finalized.

As for how the two thousand tickets will be divided, that's not Gao Han's concern.

"In the end, it's all about the prize money," Facchetti said.

As early as before the season, Inter Milan formulated a detailed bonus system, including the Champions League.

However, it was before the season, and the team was not very sure that it could enter the finals or even win the championship, so the bonuses were relatively small. They only promised that if the team won the championship, each of the fourteen players participating in the game would receive fifteen Thousands of euros in prizes.

This is also a very popular move, because the bonuses of other wealthy teams such as AC Milan are almost the same amount.

But just two days ago, news came out from the British media that Abramovich publicly stated that if the team wins the championship, he will use all Chelsea's winnings from the Champions League final to reward the players who participated in the game.

According to the data list provided by UEFA this season, the final appearance fees and bonuses for the Champions League champions are as high as 6.5 million euros. This is quite an astonishing sum in European football, and every player can get a lot of it. A lot of money, especially for a starter.

On the other hand, Inter Milan only paid one million, which is indeed stingy.

"You also know that the team's finances are not very generous. It is certainly impossible for us to give out large bonuses like those wealthy teams, but after careful consideration, we have also decided to adjust the team's bonuses."

"Based on our meeting and decision, if the team finally wins the championship, we will adopt graded incentive measures. All fourteen players participating in the Champions League final will each receive a bonus of 300,000 euros, while other players and first-team members will be able to Received a reward of 150,000 euros.”

Gao Han was also a little moved when he heard this.

Although Facchetti just said that there is no way to compete with the wealthy teams, in fact, Inter Milan's rewards are basically all the appearance fees and bonuses for the team's championship.

The only difference is that Chelsea awarded more than 6 million to the 14 players who participated in the game. This is also the consistent practice of many teams in the Champions League. However, Inter Milan adopts a grading system equally and distributes it to each player. on a player.

Although some players are substitutes, their effects are actually quite obvious.

For example, veteran Figo has indeed gradually become Yaya Toure's substitute this season, but who can deny his contribution to the team? He has come on as a substitute or as a starter on many occasions, playing a key role for the team.

There is also Materazzi. This central defender's performance this season is also remarkable. Is it because he cannot enter the Champions League final and start, so he cannot get this bonus?

Not to mention captain Zanetti, the main position belongs to Maicon, but he should also receive a bonus, right?

Therefore, in comparison, Gao Han agrees more with Inter Milan's approach.

"I understand." Gao Han nodded, "When you go back, fax a notice and I will convey it to all the players."

Facchetti and Blanca both nodded repeatedly. Gao Han was indeed easy to talk to.

Although the club has provided a large bonus this time, if it can win the championship, the bonus will be a drop in the bucket compared to the club's income, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

Not much else to say, just from the appearance fees and winning bonuses of the Champions League this season, Inter Milan's income can reach 40 million euros, plus TV broadcasts and match day income, etc., it is quite gratifying. income.

More importantly, winning a Champions League will not only bring tangible benefits to Inter Milan, but will also bring more long-term potential benefits in the next few years, both of which are astronomical figures.

As a professional player, Facchetti knows this better than anyone else, so the management will formulate such a plan.

It was almost time, and there was gradually movement in the training building. Facchetti and Blanca stood up to leave.

Before leaving, Facchetti looked at Gao Han deeply and said sincerely: "Please come to the Champions League final!"

Gao Han held his hands firmly, nodded and said, "Just wait until you go on stage to receive the award!"

"Okay, I'll wait!" Facchetti has not forgotten the promise Gao Han made when he visited him.

As long as Inter Milan dares to win the championship, he will dare to take the stage.
