From coaching Real Madrid
530 There are no mines in my house!
Gao Shen shot this advertisement for Emirates Airlines. The exterior scenes were shot in the Chinese capital and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The rest were all shot in the cabin. The shooting team is said to be a famous advertising director in the world.
After shooting in the capital for half a day, everyone took Emirates Airlines and flew to Dubai for follow-up shooting.
The entire shooting took two days.
During this period, the UAE was responsible for all Gaoshen's food, accommodation and travel, including the Royal Suite at the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai.
Gao Shen checked specifically and found that the royal suite he stayed in was close to 20,000 euros a night, and the UAE did not restrict his time. The hotel meant that he could stay as long as he wanted.
In the next few days, Gao Shen traveled around the United Arab Emirates, mainly filming tourism promotion advertisements for the UAE Tourism Authority. The director and crew changed a group of people, who are said to be world-famous directors in this field. Anyway, this was the first time they met Gao Shen.
During the two days of filming in Abu Dhabi, Gao Shen was arranged to stay at the Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel, which is known as the most luxurious in the world, and also stayed in the top-notch presidential suite.
From Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Gao Shen enjoyed the luxury of the Middle Eastern aristocrats.
Even though he was well prepared, he still couldn't help but be amazed.
You can question the tycoons in the Middle East, but you have to admit that with enough money, art can really be created.
The Burj Al Arab and the Palace Hotel may not be works of art now, but how many more years will they continue to accumulate?
In the Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel, Gao Shen also met domestic officials, ambassadors, and leaders of state-owned oil companies. Their trip was to promote oil cooperation and the UAE's investment in the country.
It is said that Mansour was the person responsible for contacting the UAE this time. During the negotiations, Mansour mentioned Gao Shen more than once, hoping to invite Gao Shen to coach Manchester City.
Gao Shen did not expect that coaching a team by himself could rise to the level of the country's diplomacy.
Of course, what he felt was sincerity, not coercion.
This was also the place where he felt most comfortable and at the same time most surprised.
The wealthy people in the Middle East are not only rich but also not stupid, but they also know how to make good friends.
This is also consistent with what Gao Shen saw and heard during his stay in the United Arab Emirates.
They are willing to spend money, but they also respect professionals.
For example, the two directors who worked with Gao Shen were very satisfied with the shooting plan and arrangement.
I have to say that this is actually a skill.
Of course, if Gao Shen's family can dig out a steady stream of oil just by digging into the ground, then he can do it too.
The problem is, his family has no mines.
…
The meeting between Gao Shen and Mansour was arranged on the third day after the filming of the UAE Tourism Authority's promotional advertisement.
During the past two days, Mubarak took him around Abu Dhabi.
On the morning of the meeting, Mubarak came to the hotel in person, picked up Gao Shen, and headed to a palace complex not far from the Palace Hotel. In a huge private park, there were several magnificent palaces.
This is where Mansoor and his brothers live.
It is said that the new Emirates Palace is being built at a construction site near the Palace Hotel, which will be another landmark building in Abu Dhabi.
The private park is not too big, but it is definitely more than enough to raise a group of elephants.
In the water-scarce Middle East, maintaining large-scale green parks is not an easy task in itself.
In addition, it covers an area of nearly a thousand acres. Sitting in a Rolls-Royce, Gao Shen had to marvel at the grandeur of this place.
Not to mention anything else, this private park is enough for wealthy people.
Entering the private park, Gao Shen didn't see any elephants, leopards, lions, etc., but he saw a huge circular fountain, and there was a helicopter landing pad in front of each palace.
This is another kind of luxury.
Gao Shen really felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. After getting off the car, Mubarak took him all the way into a magnificent palace, but he did not stay inside. Instead, he walked directly through the palace and came to the back garden.
Mansour, who was wearing a traditional dress of white robe and white hat, was already sitting there. He looked at Gao Shen who came in with Mubarak with a smile, stood up, and extended his hand from a distance.
"Welcome to Abu Dhabi, Gao!" He spoke fluent American English.
Gao Shen checked before and found that Mansour went to the United States to study when he was young.
The same is true for Mubarak. This should be a way for the Abu Dhabi aristocracy to cultivate talents.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness." Gao Shen shook hands with him politely, his attitude neither humble nor overbearing.
The education he received in China since he was a child made it impossible for Gao Shen to accept the kind of nobles who were superior to others.
Even if he really wants to coach at Manchester City, it will be cooperation based on what everyone needs, rather than unilateral condescending charity.
Fortunately, Mansour also seems to be a harmonious person and is very kind-hearted.
After asking Gao Shen and Mubarak to sit down, a maid immediately brought them fruits and mineral water.
This actually made Gao Shen secretly feel a little proud.
The royal family members of the Middle East entertain guests, and Gao Shen entertains guests at home, using mineral water.
Now my mind feels much more balanced.
…
In fact, this meeting was more of a final decision.
Mubarak had discussed many things with Gao Shen before.
During the past period, Gao Shen also worked with the coaching staff in Europe to formulate plans for Manchester City.
This is also Gao Shen's consistent characteristic.
As early as his previous life, he was a master of planning. When he wanted to coach Juventus, he also formulated a very detailed plan specifically for Serie A. Although there were many changes later, it basically focused on
Make a plan to start the work.
This time too.
Zidane is now the special advisor to the president of Real Madrid. His departure has left the senior coaching team with one less person, but in fact it does not have much impact.
For most of last season, Sarri worked with Naples. Although Gao Shen occasionally gave him some benefits, he did not receive Napoli's salary. Now that Zidane left, Gao Shen called and asked Sarri.
The Italian heard that Gao Shen invited him to join the coaching staff and immediately agreed.
Everyone knows that the current high-level coaching team is very popular.
This is where Guardiola and Zidane came from. Although Zidane has not yet coached alone, he is the special advisor to the president of Real Madrid and can even influence Real Madrid's coaching decisions. This shows Zidane's influence.
Based on Sarri's current situation, if he goes out to coach alone, it is estimated that the most he can do is in Serie B. Gao Shen is willing to recommend him, but he can only go to a slightly stronger team in Serie B. If it is stronger, there will be no choice.
After all, every team has its own set of competitive pressures.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to officially join Gao Shen's coaching staff and follow him outside to gain more experience and learn more things. In the future, he can serve as Gao Shen's assistant and may even directly coach the four major leagues.
Just like Carlo now, there is really no shortage of invitations from teams in the four major leagues.
Gao Shen also understands Sarri's thoughts and guarantees that if he meets the right team in the future, Gao Shen will definitely let him fly solo without setting up obstacles, so that Sarri can relax.
As a result, Gao Shen's current coaching staff remains the same.
Chief assistant coach Carlo, analyst Fernando Lucas, fitness coach Lorenzo Buenaventura, fitness coach Antonio Pintus, technical coach Rodolfo Borrell, goalkeeping coach Luis
Lopez, as well as Maurizio Sarri, who takes Zidane's place, studies tactics with Gao Shen and analyzes opponents on weekdays.
In addition to these seven core coaching staff members, Manchester City also removed Brian Kidd from his position as technical director and instead appointed him as Manchester City's assistant coach.
In other words, Brian Kidd will become a senior assistant coach together with Carlo.
This is actually beneficial, because Brian Kidd is very familiar with the Premier League, which is needed for senior players.
Although the members of the coaching staff are still on vacation, they have actually started working.
They helped Gao Shen prepare a relatively original Manchester City season plan as early as possible.
But this plan still has many problems and shortcomings, especially for the winter break.
The Premier League's winter break is different from other leagues. Instead of suspending the season for rest, the Premier League has intensified its schedule. This will be a huge test for any team, both physically and mentally.
This requires the coaching staff to make preparations in all aspects.
Gao Shen is unfamiliar with this.
I heard a lot, and even Brian Kidd gave a lot of his own experiences and insights, but these were not enough.
There is a saying that goes like this: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.
The same goes for coaching.
After all, you still have to experience many things yourself before you know what it is like.
Therefore, in the plan given by Gao Shen, his results in the first season are conservative.
"For the semi-finals, I can only guarantee that in the first season, we will at least bring the team to the semi-finals and qualify for the Champions League next season. This requires the club to increase investment this summer."
This goal is actually a bit unworthy of Gao Shen's current fame and status, but the reason why he gave this goal is not without reason, that is, Manchester City has many problems now, especially in terms of players.
According to market assessment, Manchester City's total player value this season ranks sixth in the Premier League, second only to Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
From the perspective of total value, Manchester City is 50 million euros more than Everton. This is almost the total value of all the players of Stoke City, which is ranked 12th in the Premier League. However, in terms of league rankings, Manchester City is ranked 12th.
Ten, while Everton is fifth.
Manchester City's total value is five times that of Stoke City, but its ranking is only two places higher than Stoke City.
The average age is less than twenty-five years old, which is quite reasonable. However, whether it is signings or tactics, Mark Hughes mainly focuses on traditional English football. This also leads to Brazilian players like Robinho waiting.
Out of place.
Gao Shen believes that if his ideas are followed, he hopes to comprehensively transform Manchester City.
"I don't want to just be based on the status quo, or achieve results in one or two years, but I hope that in the next ten years, Manchester City will have excellent competitiveness in the Premier League and European competitions!"
