From coaching Real Madrid

The profound words touched Valdano deeply.

Even, in the end, he had to admit that what Gao Shen said was very reasonable and far-sighted.

But Real Madrid's introduction of Kaka is already inevitable.

Recruiting superstars like this is a very complex systematic project behind the scenes. If nothing else, the personal treatment of the players and the commercial contracts involved are a series of very troublesome negotiations.

For example, what if the commercial contract signed by Kaká at AC Milan conflicts with Real Madrid’s sponsors?

Terminate the contract early? How to compensate? Who will compensate? How to compensate for Kaka’s losses?

Anyone who has worked in an enterprise knows how complicated it is to solve this kind of problem.

It is already March. It is foreseeable that Kaká has made the decision to transfer to Real Madrid. As soon as Florentino takes office as chairman, Kaká's transfer will be put into operation immediately, and a series of contracts and negotiations will be carried out immediately.

Expand.

To be honest, Gao Shen is really a little disappointed.

In the past, he would have felt that the reason why Kaká failed at Real Madrid was because he was injured in participating in the World Cup, and because the arrival of Ozil and the outstanding performance of the German severely squeezed Kaká's room for performance.

Of course, there must be these two factors.

But now, Gao Shen begins to feel that even without these two aspects, even in Kaka's first season at Real Madrid, he did not perform very well.

Even if Real Madrid scored more than 100 goals in La Liga that season, even if they were the most miserable runner-up in La Liga history, they still could not make up for the tragedy of Real Madrid being eliminated by Lyon in the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds.

The intensity of the Champions League finals is far from comparable to that of the group stages and domestic leagues.

At the same time, Real Madrid lost almost all the strong dialogues that season.

Such as the two-leg match against AC Milan in the Champions League group stage, the round of 16 knockout match against Lyon, the domestic league match against Barcelona...

The abuser is very strong, but he can't win the tough dialogue. Doesn't this explain the problem?

Of course, these are things that happened in Gao Shen's previous life, and it was impossible for him to tell Valdano.

But given Gao Shen's current identity and status, speaking such well-founded words in such a sure tone is persuasive enough in itself.

Valdano trusts Gao Shen, but the chairman of Real Madrid is Florentino.

Florentino's starting point for recruiting stars is different from Gao Shen's. He considers commercial value more.

This was the case in the first phase of Galacticos, and it is still the case now. At best, he will learn some lessons from the first phase and make some appropriate compromises when making decisions, but he cannot think like a professional head coach.

question.

Valdano was also helpless about this.

The Argentinians have a strong feeling that Gao Shen is getting further and further away from Real Madrid.

Ever since he met Gao Shen, Gao Shen has never been a person who compromises easily.

It was like this when I was at Real Madrid, and it's even more true now.

…………

…………

On the car ride home from the hotel, there was silence at first.

Both Gao Shen and Zidane were thinking about their own matters.

Gao Shen didn't know what Zidane was thinking, but he was thinking that many things really couldn't be avoided.

The decline of No. 10 is doomed.

Even if Sneijder moved to Inter Milan and seemed to play the tenth position, in fact he was a tactical puzzle piece and a midfield puzzle piece that shouldered many defensive tasks.

Do not believe?

Who was the best player in Serie A from 2009 to 2010?

At the end of that season, who was the player of the season selected by UEFA?

No need to guess, the two major awards belong to the same person, his name is Diego Milito.

Not Sneijder.

That year, the European Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year were merged, which led to changes in the selection rules of the newly established FIFA Ballon d'Or. Messi was ultimately elected, which has always been controversial.

Countless people have mentioned more than once that they owe Sneijder a Golden Globe Award.

The question is, apart from being a World Cup runner-up, why should he win the Ballon d'Or?

In the club, he is not as important as Diego Milito. The two most important awards were taken away by Diego Milito. This is enough to prove that Sneijder is still important in the Inter Milan team.

Not as good as the Argentinian center.

2010 is a competition year. When considering the national team competition, Iniesta and Xavi are world champions, and they have also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. Is this report card impressive enough?

Therefore, Sneijder did not make the top three in the selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

In other words, even if Messi doesn't win the award, it won't be Sneijder's turn.

Of course, this does not mean that Sneijder is bad.

On the contrary, Sneijder's peak season was definitely very, very good, but he was not as important as Diego Milito.

This further proves that position 10 really has no way out.

But unfortunately, Real Madrid still has to go down this road.

Gao Shen was also helpless.

…

"How about I find a time to invite you and Florentino out to talk together?" Zidane suddenly asked.

Gao Shen was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Zidane meant.

The French bald player still hopes he can coach Real Madrid.

In other words, Zidane misunderstood that Gao Shen also wanted to coach Real Madrid.

Of course, there was no misunderstanding, Gao Shen really thought about it, but the idea was not so strong that he was desperate.

To be honest, Gao Shen now has his own career and status, why would he take such a risk?

Besides, if he goes to coach Real Madrid now, can Florentino give him the power to suppress the superstars?

If not, then what is he going to do?

"Thank you for your kindness, Zinedine, but Florentino and I can't come to an agreement on this matter." Gao Shen smiled bitterly.

"Why can't we reach an agreement?" Zidane was puzzled.

"It's a conceptual thing. Moreover, Florentino and I are not the kind of people who give in easily, so unless one of us gets a bloody blow and knows that this road is dead, we will change our minds."

, bow your head and submit, otherwise..."

If Gao Shen is asked to submit now, he is not willing.

On the contrary, the same is true for Florentino.

Zidane was silent, he really didn't know what to say.

Just like Valdano did just now.

Gao Shen looked at the expression of Zidane who was driving and knew what he was doing. After being silent for a while, he asked: "Do you want to go back?"

"What?" Zidane was stunned for a moment, not sure if he really didn't hear clearly.

Gao Shen smiled indifferently, "Do you want to go back to Real Madrid?"

"Of course." Zidane did not deny, "This is a very unique team, and my wife and children are all in Madrid."

When Gao Shen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He feels that Zidane should leave, just like Guardiola.

Although he had very selfish motives when he hired these two people as his assistants, after getting along with them, they still have a good relationship and we can talk about many things.

But at this moment, Zidane suddenly changed the subject, "But, I haven't thought about it yet."

This time, the daze turned into something profound.

Damn it, I dare to say that labor and capital just made a serious mistake!

"To be honest, I really learned a lot this season in Naples, and I deeply realized the gap between myself and top coaches in terms of coaching. I still hope to learn more."

On the one hand, I couldn't bear to leave my wife and children, and the call from Real Madrid, but on the other hand, I wanted to stay and learn more.

This bald guy is really enough!

In fact, Zidane is not the only one.

And that Sarri, when he told Gao Shen that he wanted to come to Naples to study, Gao Shen asked him to come, but ended up staying together and never leaving.

More than half a year later, he rented a house near Fort Volturno, arrived at the training base on time every day, and did not ask for a salary. He worked like a member of the senior coaching staff every day. It was so incompetent!

Gao Shen even doubted that if he was more greedy and hired a few more "good guys" like Sarri, how much salary would he save in a season?

"Just wait, I will definitely come back!" Gao Shen said confidently.

It seemed like he was talking to Zidane, but it seemed like he wasn't.

He has always believed that one day he would return to Real Madrid.

…………

…………

Three days after playing Chelsea, Serie A ushered in the 28th round of the league.

Inter Milan was at home early and defeated Fiorentina 2-0 thanks to Ibrahimovic's brace.

This has to be disappointing.

The Champions League player failed to gain any points in the two rounds against Manchester United, but after returning to Serie A, he immediately shined again, high-spirited, and his tone naturally became louder.

Sometimes, things in this world are so strange.

In another game played at the same time as Inter Milan, Napoli challenged Reggina away from home.

Gao Shen still made a substantial rotation of the lineup, but suffered a tenacious sniper attack from Reggina in the away game.

This team that was about to be relegated was very defensive at home and set up a steel barrel formation to prevent Naples' offense from coming up with very effective methods. In the 27th minute, when they caught a counterattack, Yuko

Ruddy scored a goal.

Subsequently, Naples launched a fierce counterattack, and it was not until the 64th minute that Valencia made a contribution and equalized the score for Naples. In the end, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw.

After this round, Naples still led, but due to the draw, the lead was shortened from seven points to five points, which gave Mourinho and his Inter Milan hope.

The Portuguese madman publicly put pressure on Naples in the media, believing that Inter Milan had lost the Champions League and the real battlefield was only Serie A, while Naples had to be distracted by three fronts, which was a huge advantage for Inter Milan.

"They will make mistakes, and they will make mistakes constantly!"

Who allowed Naples to draw with the vice squad leader away from home?

The Italian media naturally followed suit, giving people the illusion that Naples was about to be overtaken by Inter Milan.

But in fact, there are still ten rounds left in the league, and the five-point lead is quite a lot.

Gao Shen did not fight back against Mourinho, but concentrated on using the one-week break after the 28th round to relax and adjust the team's condition in preparation for AC Milan in the 29th round a week later.

In the middle of the week, that is, on March 20, the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was held in Nyon, Switzerland.
