From coaching Real Madrid

Gao Shen never imagined that Alexis Sanchez, who would earn a weekly salary of half a million pounds from Manchester United, would live in such a place growing up.

Facing the sea, there are no spring flowers blooming, only the rotten stench coming from the garbage on the beach.

The air here is extremely bad, the pollution is extremely serious, and the sky is gray.

All the way from Kamala was the Gobi Desert. Gao Shen thought it would be better when we got to the seaside, but he didn't expect the situation to be even worse.

But he finally found Sanchez.

It's actually easy to ask, because he is a celebrity here and a Chilean international.

Gao Shen's sudden visit made the Sanchez family feel at a loss because they couldn't even find a clean place at home for them to sit down, nor could they bring out decent food and water to entertain them.

The conditions here are really bad.

In fact, their family has already made up their minds. After all, Sanchez is still making money playing football, and the situation of other families will be even worse.

Gao Shen was standing in the yard, talking to the eighteen-year-old Sanchez about the transfer.

Before Gao Shen left Camara, he had reached an agreement with Cobrelo for 1.5 million euros, and Sanchez belonged to Naples.

Next, someone will contact Sanchez to discuss the contract and treatment.

This is not something within the scope of Gao Shen's authority, but he can guarantee that it will be much higher than his salary in Cobrelo.

But water far away cannot reach the thirst that is near.

Gao Shen took out all the Chilean pesos in his pocket, then took the money from Lucas and Roman Díaz, and stuffed it all into Sanchez's hand.

This is what they exchanged at Kamala Airport.

"Take your family out of here and go back to Kamala." Gao Shen advised.

The conditions here are really bad and miserable.

The pride of an eighteen-year-old boy made him want to refuse, but holding a lot of money, he hesitated.

"I will repay you, sir!" Sanchez said to Gao Shen.

Gao Shen smiled and said, "When you get to Europe, competing for me well is the best reward."

Sanchez nodded solemnly.

…

He came and went in a hurry, but Gao Shen no longer had the same briskness as when he came.

For him, coaching is a job, and for players, playing football is also a job.

But it's the same job, but it has completely different meanings.

For people like Sanchez, playing football is the way for him and his family to survive in this world, so he will try his best in every game.

"Look around, there are countless situations like this, and you can't help." Roman Dias sighed.

He could see that Gao Shen was a good person.

But the role of a good person is limited.

"Actually, a family like theirs is really good. At least Sanchez can still get a salary in Cobrelo. He is a Chilean international and has a bright future. When he comes to Europe, as long as he does well

If they play football, their family will have a future."

"But do you know? More, even most, families are poorer than the Sanchez family. Their children don't even have the talent to play football. They can only enter the mine and never get out of this copper mine.

Small town.”

Gao Shen understands that what Roman Dias said is right.

He has never been a Holy Mother, but after seeing it just now, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Man, who hasn't been touched at some point?

He is not so great that he wants to save poor people all over the world.

"Anyway, I didn't see it. I didn't see it. I can't help it. Since it happened to me, I have to take care of it."

Roman Diaz nodded and smiled, "If that kid has a conscience and you help him like this, he will sell his life directly to you!"

"I don't want his life." Gao Shen smiled at Roman Dias, "I just want him to play football well."

Before coming to Camara, Gao Shen spent two days in Santiago, the capital of Chile, and found the Colo-Colo club. He spent one million euros to sign a little-known player from the Colo-Colo youth team.

Arturo Vidal.

This player has not made an appearance for Colo-Colo's first team so far.

In comparison, Sanchez, a Chilean international and attacking player, only costs 1.5 million euros, which is already very cost-effective.

According to Roman Dias, Udinese of Serie A also took a fancy to Sanchez and even reached an agreement with Cobrelo, but they never paid and a formal contract was not signed, so Gao Shen took the lead.

Before coming to Chile, Gao Shen signed Peruvian left back Juan Manuel Barr from Santa Fe Colon Club in Santa Fe Province, north of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, for 1.5 million euros.

Gas.

This 22-year-old Peruvian player is the main player of Santa Fe Colon and has performed well.

At the same time, through Roman Dias's relationship, he successfully signed the 19-year-old Brazilian central defender David Luiz from Vitoria in the second division of Brazil. He is also a dual-nationality player.

It is a pity that Gao Shen did not go to Brazil to meet David Luiz because they were too far apart. Instead, through a friend of Roman Dias, he asked him to be responsible for sending David Luiz to Italy.

In this way, the profound trip to South America can be considered a fruitful return.

1.5 million to sign Sanchez, 1.5 million to sign Vargas, 1.8 million to sign Biglia, 500,000 to sign David Luiz, 800,000 to sign Cavani

, 1.2 million to sign Di Maria, and 1 million to sign Vidal.

Among them, Gao Shen originally planned to sign Suarez, but unexpectedly he was beaten to the spot by Groningen of the Netherlands.

When he was in transit in the Chilean capital, Gao Shen suddenly remembered Colo-Colo's Vidal and signed him on the spur of the moment.

Among the seven players, Vargas, Sanchez and Vidal are all non-European players.

The seven transactions cost Napoli a total of 8.3 million euros.

If you include Basel Rakitic's one million euros, Gao Shen spent a total of 9.3 million euros in just over half a month.

For a Serie B team, this is an astronomical figure.

Italy, Naples.

Marino frowned again when he received another call from Gao Shen.

During the past period, he would receive a call from Gao Shen every two or three days, and occasionally receive reports from Roman Dias to learn about Gao Shen's every move in South America.

He was surprised to find that Gao Shen's recruitment had a very clear direction and even directly targeted players.

Moreover, these players usually have a lot of attention, such as Suarez, and today's Sanchez.

Marino was very puzzled. How did Gao Shen learn about so many players?

His channels even went deep into the Brazilian sub-league, and dug out a guy named David Luiz from a little-known Victoria club. This was really surprising.

Marino didn't understand, but he felt that he should report it.

The transfer fee for Sanchez was not high, only 1.5 million euros, but in total, it cost nearly 10 million.

While Marino asked people to follow up and contact the Chilean club called Cobrelo, he compiled a detailed list and went straight to De Laurentiis' office.

"Boss, this is Gao's recent signing list. The following is the list of players he has arranged for me to follow in Europe."

De Laurentiis sat behind the desk, crossed his legs, smoked a cigar, and puffed away from time to time. After reaching out to take the two lists from Marino, he read them carefully.

He was very serious about all things money.

"They are all very young." De Laurentiis saw the clues at a glance.

"Yes, the oldest is Juan Manuel Vargas, only twenty-two years old."

De Laurentiis smiled slightly, "It seems that he has really considered our finances."

In the first season, he only gave Gao Shen a transfer budget of 20 million euros, which is already an astronomical figure in Serie B.

As a result, Gao Shen did not bring in a single powerful star or even a player he had used from Real Madrid. Instead, he searched around for some young players who were only around 20 years old.

The upside is that these players are cheap, but it's also worrisome.

Can these young players really take over Naples?

"I calculated that he personally introduced eight players, which cost us 9.3 million euros." Marino reported. "In addition, he asked me to help him operate in Europe, and introduced Graziano from Lecce.

"Pellet cost us 1.5 million euros, the young player Bonucci cost us 1 million euros, and the goalkeeper Handanovic from Udinese also cost us 1 million euros."

"In addition, the introduction of Gervinho from Beveren in Belgium cost us half a million euros, and the most expensive one was the introduction of Marek Hamsik from Brescia. This young player who is about to turn 19 spent

It cost us 2.5 million euros.”

De Laurentiis' hand holding the report couldn't help but twitch.

After all the calculations, the final summary amounted to a total cost of nearly 16 million euros.

Cruel, too cruel!

This is 16 million euros!

God, he just spent it all without blinking an eye.

De Laurentiis lost his mood to smoke and stood up from his seat, trying to calm down.

He has never been a rich man, and these 16 million euros are a huge sum of money for him, and he feels very distressed.

"How is the quality of the players?" asked the German.

"I have learned about it. We have no information about some players for the time being, but like Sanchez, he is a Chilean international. Udinese has been eyeing him a few months ago, and Biglia, he is a World Youth Championship player in Argentina.

The main player of the championship and Messi's teammate."

"Although we don't know much about some players, judging from the known players, they should all be pretty good."

After hearing this, De Laurentiis breathed out heavily.

Even so, he was still in great pain.

"I believe in him. Since Udinese wants it, it proves that the level of the players is not bad. I believe that he will be able to bring out a young guard!" De Laurentiis said seriously.

It seemed like he was telling Marino, but also a bit like he was encouraging himself.
