Real Madrid officials quickly responded to Martin's "angry firing" of Gao Shen.
Not only did Real Madrid's official website specifically post a clarification, but even media close to Real Madrid such as AS and Marca immediately published an exclusive interview with Chairman Martin.
The helmsman of the Galaxy Battleship once again expressed his support for Gao Shen, saying that the rumors that he threatened to fire Gao Shen outside the locker room were fabricated out of thin air. He still has the same trust and support for Gao Shen as always.
Everyone knows that after the new chairman Martin took office, the only achievement he achieved was his high level of success.
When he pointed that casually, he actually selected a talented coach to lead Real Madrid out of the quagmire.
During the past period of time, Martin has been in front of the public and worked hard to create his own character of "Shen Bole".
Now, as the presidential election is approaching and the team's performance has reached a critical moment, Martin cannot let his personality collapse under any circumstances, so he chose to clarify and continue to support Gao Shen.
Not only that, Martin also said that he has urged the club to start preparations and will soon start contract renewal negotiations with Gao Shen.
But Martin's clarification did not receive a response from Gao Shen.
After the draw with Villarreal, Gao Shen locked the entire team in Valdebebas. No one was allowed to accept media interviews and refused any interviews from the outside, including Real Madrid's official website and Real Madrid TV.
This is somewhat strange.
On the other hand, Gao Shen's slogan of winning the remaining four rounds of the league also caused a strong backlash from Catalonia and the media supporting Barcelona. They did not believe that Real Madrid had the ability to win the remaining four rounds of the league.
Win every game.
But all the media directed their fire at Gao Shen, so much so that they began to ignore Real Madrid's 1-1 home draw with Villarreal and Ramos's red card.
This is basically in line with Gao Shen's expectations.
After the draw with Villarreal, what he was most worried about was that the outside media would not let go and continue to dig up the inside story of Real Madrid, which would then affect the team's preparations, especially the red card and penalty kick against Ramos.
That's why Gao Shen decided to confront the media close to Barcelona at the post-match press conference.
It can not only cheer for the team, but also divert the attention of the media, killing two birds with one stone.
As for the media now fixating on Gao Shen, what does it matter?
…
The draw at the Bernabeu had an impact on Real Madrid players, but it only lasted for one day.
The players quickly put it behind them.
The team will go to San Siro to face AC Milan on Wednesday. Although they won the first round at home 3-0, the second round is also crucial and they must go all out. If they are not careful, it may become a miracle for AC Milan to wash away Istanbul every minute.
stepping stone.
In a strong dialogue like the Champions League semi-finals, as long as there is a little bit of slack, the game will stop immediately.
Gao Shen was also very busy.
It is necessary not only to appease the players and help them get over the sense of loss after missing out on Barcelona's counterattack, but also to adjust the players' condition, and to boost the team's morale so that the players can go to San Siro in the best spirit. He cannot waste a minute.
.
Originally, the Bernabeu wanted to hold a press conference for Gao Shen and Martin to come forward to clarify, but Gao Shen refused; later, Real Madrid TV wanted to record a clarification interview specifically for Gao Shen, but Gao Shen also declined.
Even exclusive interview invitations from Aspen and Marca were all sternly rejected by Gao Shen.
Only Martin had the need for clarification, Gao Shen did not.
Anyone who has ever been in the workplace knows that a good boss is not one who gets used to it, but one who manages it.
Blindly obeying will only make your boss worse in the end.
How many outstanding middle-level managers fail at the hurdle of "how to manage their bosses upwards".
How to manage it?
This is a broad and profound knowledge, and it depends more on your own strength, confidence, skills and scale.
Just like Gao Shen now.
For the summer presidential election, Martin has personal needs, but Gao Shen does not. Why should he cater to Martin's needs?
Gao Shen's most important priority right now is to lead the team to achieve good results. The rest is not important to him.
What's more, if Martin doesn't cooperate, what can Martin do to him?
When he first took over Real Madrid, Gao Shen was worried about being fired, so he had to coax Martin. Well, now that Martin has started to pamper him, is it possible that he will continue to pamper him?
If this is the case, then won't Martin have to get worse next time?
At that time, where will the profound authority come from?
As for renewing the contract with Gao Shen...
"Okay, Emilio, we are all sensible people. Is it interesting for you and me to draw such a pie?"
In the phone call from Vice Chairman Butragueno, Gao Shen was equally rude and directly exposed the trick.
He himself is a master at painting cakes, and in his opinion, Martin's skill at painting cakes is really bad.
"Your King of Spain once said that if I beat Juventus, he would give me the throne. How about you help me ask him when he can fulfill it?"
Butragueño on the other end of the phone could only smile bitterly.
What Juan Carlos I said in the VIP box was leaked by someone and was even published by the media. At that time, some media jokingly took a photo of Gao Shen P wearing the Spanish crown on his head, and some even feared that the world would not
The chaotic media seriously planned a way for Gao Shen to rise to the top, such as marriage.
"High, the public opinion outside..."
"It has nothing to do with me, Emilio. I'm just a rookie who can get fired anytime, anywhere."
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen casually found an excuse to be busy and hung up Butragueno's phone, secretly laughing in his heart.
At the door of the locker room, Martin threatened to fire him in public. At that time, the chairman felt so happy and proud.
Oh, now that you know you shouldn't, you are under pressure from public opinion, and yet you want Gao Shen to cooperate with him?
I said, Mr. Chairman, you have taken all the good things, and I have to take the blame?
Why don't you go to heaven?
…
Bernabeu, Real Madrid administrative offices.
After Butragueño hung up the phone from Gao Shen, he almost laughed out loud.
After confirming that the door to his office was indeed closed, he laughed directly.
Real Madrid's new chairman really likes to do messy things on a whim, as Florentino said.
After a draw with Villarreal, the locker room was already in trouble. Gao Shen himself was already in trouble, but you still had to add to the trouble.
Well, I was blocked by Gao Shen. I was angry and felt that I was losing face. I shouted on the spot that I wanted to fire him.
Please, we are all adults, can we speak carelessly?
Or maybe he is used to being the boss, and in addition, in recent times, Real Madrid has been going smoothly, and Martin, the chairman, has been even more high-spirited, causing him to feel a little arrogant.
However, Butragueno was a little surprised by Gao Shen's toughness.
No wonder Florentino thinks so highly of him.
He really seized the opportunity, even the chairman of Real Madrid wanted to step on him.
Of course, it's also Martin's fault for being too promiscuous.
Butragueno collected himself in the office and then walked to the chairman's office next door.
Martin was already waiting impatiently for the news.
"How is it?" the Real Madrid president asked anxiously as soon as he saw Butragueno coming in.
After all, Butragueno was a professional player, and his relationship with Gao Shen was extraordinary. He did not copy Gao Shen's exact words, but said it more tactfully. It was nothing more than Gao Shen being too busy right now.
reasons.
Martin wasn't stupid either. Of course he guessed that this was an excuse. When he heard it, he almost cursed again.
But after seeing Butragueno's expression, he swallowed the words back forcefully.
If scolding was useful, he wouldn't be so passive now.
The more he curses and spreads the word, the more damage will be done to his image.
"What do we do now?" Martin asked Butragueno. "No one believed my clarification statement at all."
Who says it’s not?
Unilateral clarification is always weak.
Some media have even begun to speculate that the reason why Gao Shen did not clarify the matter is that he was tacitly assuming that what the media reported was true.
Think about it, because of a draw, Bole will kill the thousand-mile horse with his own hands. What is the reason for this?
Martin's character of "Sophisticated Bole" is now in danger.
And now, Martin also has some regrets. Why did he come up with such a character in the first place?
I don't know why, but seeing Martin so anxious, Butragueno felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.
Perhaps, deep down, he also looks down on the Real Madrid chairman.
At least, it was far worse than the Florentino he admired.
"The top priority now is that I think Gao Shen should come forward to alleviate the pressure of public opinion from outside."
Martin nodded hastily, "Yes, you are right, but... what should I do?"
"If Gao Shen doesn't come, then let's go to Valdebebas and bring the official website reporter and the TV station reporter."
"No." Martin objected immediately, "If I go to Valdebebas, wouldn't that mean I'm admitting my mistake to him?"
If he really wants to do this, will Martin be able to hold his head high in front of Gao Shen in the future?
Butragueno was secretly amused, but on the surface he was very embarrassed.
"Then I really have no choice, otherwise I'll just fire him. I think this kid is a little spoiled."
Fire him?
Martin smiled bitterly, if he could do this, he would have done it long ago.
Butragueno is giving up his choice and not participating.
There was no other way. After thinking hard for a while, Martin finally agreed to go to Valdebebas. After all, he really needed to be with Gao Shen and come forward to clarify this matter.
"We have to find a reason, let's say it is to mobilize for the team's away game against AC Milan." Martin racked his brains and finally came up with a reason that he thought was pretty good and acceptable.
At the very least, his chairman's face won't be stepped on and rubbed under his feet, right?
Butragueno nodded, "Then I'll make arrangements right away."
But in my heart, vultures are very disdainful.
They are both chairman, so why is there such a big difference?
With Martin's temperament, can he handle this summer's presidential election?
Even if he is chosen, can he be reliable?
Butragueno felt that he should still find an opportunity to have a good talk with Florentino.
