From coaching Real Madrid

After returning to Naples from Rome, the first thing Gao Shen did was to run to the Naples headquarters and enter Marino's office. He directly told him about his worries in Rome and reminded him to pay close attention to the players.

It is important to emphasize that you should pay attention to the broker.

Gao Shen communicates very smoothly with the players. Unlike other old men in their 40s, 50s and 60s, he is similar in age to the players, and they have many topics to talk about, so he is not worried about the players and is confident in keeping them.

But the problem is that the bargaining chips Napoli can offer are relatively limited now. Even if they really enter Serie A next season, if players receive invitations from some Premier League or La Liga teams, it may be difficult to refuse the temptation, especially the Premier League.

The Premier League's broadcast fee sharing model has caused many Premier League teams, even those in the relegation zone, and even those that have been relegated to the English Championship, to have higher incomes than Serie A teams. This has resulted in them having more money in their hands.

There is a lot of money available for transfers.

In comparison, Naples and Serie A teams suffer greatly in this regard.

"We must pay attention to handling this relationship. I really don't want to see the players we have worked so hard to train be exploited by other teams before they can produce results."

This is what Gao Shen is most worried about.

Selling people?

this is nothing.

Naples has never been positioned as a wealthy team, and selling people will be a matter of time.

Even, to a certain extent, Gao Shen is happy to see Napoli sell people, because he gets a 20% commission. Naples players are poached at high prices, and Gao Shen himself also makes money, and he is even the biggest

Beneficiary.

The problem is, he likes money very much, but what he wants more now is results.

If Naples' players are allowed to be trained and poached as soon as they turn around, how will they achieve results?

After hearing Gao Shen's words, Marino also looked solemn. This is indeed a big problem.

During his time at Udinese, he believed in the principle that as long as you can afford the money, I can sell you pants.

But Naples is different.

The premise for De Laurentiis to attract Gao Shen to coach is that both sides are determined to build a strong Serie A team and even enter the Champions League.

In this case, Napoli is positioned higher than Udinese.

"I will start dealing with this matter immediately and come up with a plan as soon as possible. When it is time to renew the contract, don't worry."

Gao Shen nodded, this was not within his scope of authority, but he would continue to supervise.

"The team shouldn't be too poor now, right?" Gao Shen asked casually.

"I'm not rich either. It's enough to live frugally." Marino said with a smile.

Gao Shen frowned and showed a look in his eyes: I don't study well, don't lie to me.

Marino suddenly felt like he had been seen through.

In fact, although he is the head coach of the team, there are many things that Gao Shen does not know, and even the club will not let him know, such as the transfer of Karayo.

Before, Gao Shen always thought that Karayo was a player on the team, but after his transfer, he discovered that he was not.

At that time, Callaio was being targeted by Lazio of Serie A. Pescara proposed to Lazio 1.5 million euros to sell 50% of Callaio's ownership, but Lazio hesitated.

Naples somehow got involved, but the key was that they signed half of Karayo's ownership for a cheaper price of 1.35 million euros. A year and a half later, Karayo was sold to Naples for 3.22 million euros.

Wan was sold.

In other words, Naples earned 250,000 euros from the deal with Karayo, which basically paid Karayo's salary and bonuses.

To put it simply, Karaio was prostituted by Naples for a year and a half!

This can be said to be a divine operation!

Coupled with the return of players like Paul Cannavaro, Gao Shen really admires these two big guys in Naples.

De Laurentiis looks carefree and speaks freely, but in fact, he is full of evil and very shrewd.

Gao Shen immediately came over to remind him, which was equivalent to telling De Laurentiis through Marino: Remember our previous agreement, don’t sell players easily before results are achieved!

Of course, De Laurentiis is not stupid either.

If you can really produce results, then you must wait until the results are produced before selling people, then it will be valuable, right?

Unless it is really impossible to retain him, Gao Shen has no conflict of interest with them.

…

"I heard that in the past two seasons, the club's annual TV broadcast fee was 1.6 million euros. This season it has soared to nearly 10 million euros. It was just sold recently, right?" Gao Shen stared.

Looking at Marino, he smiled.

He also has his own intelligence channels. Lucas is getting better and better at collecting intelligence, and he also has some friends and sources, including but not limited to familiar media reporters.

Marino was a little surprised, but acquiesced.

This money belongs to no one in Serie B except Juventus.

"Also, the sponsorship fee for the mineral water company Lete this season has also reached two million euros. When these two sums are calculated, it amounts to ten million euros. You are not too poor after all, right?" Gao Shen started.

He got vaccinated and told Marino that he knew something, not that he knew nothing.

In addition to sponsorship, Lete Company also has a chest advertisement for the team, so it is willing to give two million euros.

As for the income from broadcast rights, it was also with the help of the team's outstanding performance in the Italian Cup that it won a lot of attention, and De Laurentiis and Marino took the opportunity to sign it at a high level.

What Gao Shen doesn't know is that there are already twenty or thirty companies contacting Naples, wanting to sign chest advertisements for the Serie A season. The sponsorship fee must be at least doubled from the existing basis, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get it yet.

.

Match day income, one of the three major income sources, has always been the highlight of Naples.

In the two years in the third level, the average number of fans per game for Naples was 31,550. This attendance rate can only be matched by Milan, Roma and Fiorentina, not even Juventus.

arrive.

This season, the three Coppa Italia games were all sold out. The supply of Serie B tickets this season was also in short supply. Every game was sold out in advance. It is estimated that every game will still be full, and the number of fans will reach more than 55,000.

.

With such home attendance, even in Serie A, perhaps only the Milan duo can barely keep pace.

If the attendance rate is just high, it doesn't matter. Who wouldn't do low-price promotions? The key is that Napoli's season tickets and game tickets are not cheap. They are similar to Juventus, and they are unique in Serie B.

According to market research, if Napoli enters Serie A next season, the price of season tickets and game tickets for Naples can surpass Roma and Lazio, and be on par with the Milan duo.

In this aspect, Naples is much better than other Italian teams.

You know, Naples is the largest city in southern Italy, and there is only one Naples team. It is more than enough to support this team, and De Laurentiis has enough connections and connections here. He can make a living in Hollywood in the United States.

, very clear how to play this capital game.

Marino understood what Gao Shen meant by telling him so much, and he stood up from his seat and looked directly at Gao Shen.

"Just rest assured, Gao, I guarantee you that the boss and I will strictly abide by the contract. Whenever I want to sell someone, I will let you know in advance and be prepared. As for the players' treatment, you also

Don’t worry, we will definitely cooperate within reasonable limits.”

De Laurentiis was not in Italy recently and went to the United States to deal with some matters, but he had an explanation before leaving.

Marino knows very well that Gao Shen is the core competitiveness of Naples now and cannot be treated badly no matter what.

This is the uncle, I have to provide for you!

…………

…………

After talking to the management, Gao Shen had nothing to think about.

As Ancelotti said, no one should be interested in Naples for the time being.

If he really wants to take action, it will definitely be a transfer during the winter break or next summer.

For the time being, the team is still very safe.

So in the next few days, Gao Shen still leisurely went to Fort Volturno to clock in and work every day. When he had nothing to do, he would have a good chat with these future stars, talk to them, and dig out some insider information.

Prepare for future autobiographical material.

This is also a very good way to get rich after retirement.

In terms of training, since Pelle was unable to participate in the Italian National Youth Team, he stayed with the team for training. Gao Shen allowed him to continue to work in a small way, focusing on training his ability as a supporting center to help him further develop his skills and tap into his potential.

Obviously, the direction is definitely right, and Pellet is making rapid progress.

However, during the two-week national team match day, Gao Shen saw that he had made a very serious problem.

In other words, it was something he had never thought of before and ignored.

That's the back and forth of players.

There are too many players in South America, so they have to travel back and forth every time the national team matches, which consumes a lot of money for the players.

Even if they are young, they are still very problematic.

This will certainly have an impact on the league weekend after the national team break.

This weekend will see the debut of Serie B, and it will be at home.

When Gao Shen thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

A wise man thinks a lot, but in the end he still has a hundred secrets and a sparse.

He thought a lot, but he missed the issue of the national team match day.

This is also his fault, because I didn’t have this problem when I was a fan, let alone when I played Football Manager. As for coaching Real Madrid after traveling through time, in fact, only Zidane has participated in a national team game from the beginning to the end, so,

He just ignored it.

You will gain wisdom every time you suffer, and you will really need to learn lessons next time.

Gao Shen immediately discussed the first round with the coaching staff.

The opponent is Treviso, a team that was relegated from Serie A last season, and its strength is also good. Although Naples is playing at home, it still needs to attract enough attention, plus there are too many South American international players...

Fortunately, they were all a group of national youth team players who returned to Naples early after playing the game. The problem was not particularly big. Gao Shen asked Buenaventura to take charge and try his best to adjust and restore physical fitness.

No matter what, the first shot of Serie B must be fired!
