Florentino, the former chairman of Real Madrid, is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Spain. He has always had an ambition to become the greatest chairman in the history of Real Madrid, not losing to the Santiago Bernabeu.
In order to realize this wish, he formulated a superstar strategy and introduced many superstars, making Real Madrid the most star-studded Galaxy in the history of world football. At the same time, he also formulated a grand renovation plan for the Bernabeu Stadium.
In recent years, European football teams have become more and more aware of the importance of stadium business development, especially for giants like Real Madrid. VIP boxes are a considerable amount of income every year, so in Florentino’s plan
Among them, he wants to move Real Madrid's administrative offices away from the Bernabeu and to the north of the Valdebebas training base.
Unfortunately, with the resignation of Florentino, this plan had to be suspended.
Therefore, everyone who comes to the gate of Real Madrid's first team training area can see a large long strip of open space. The surrounding isolation belt also has project information for Real Madrid's new office building, but now there is no sign of construction.
But for two consecutive days, the place became extremely lively.
It's not that the project has resumed, but that many Real Madrid fans spontaneously came to Valdebebas to protest the team's sudden coaching change.
Their appeal is very simple. The management can change the coach, but at least hire a famous coach. How can an unknown rookie, who is only 25 years old and has just stepped out of school, take charge of Real Madrid?
Even if Del Bosque and Hierro return, wouldn't it be better than this?
Players usually arrive at the training base around nine o'clock, but fans came more than an hour earlier.
One to two hundred fans stood sparsely at the gate, unfurling banners casually. Only when they saw a vehicle coming or going, they would shout a few slogans in unison. As soon as the vehicle passed by, they would stop and gather in small groups.
Let’s chat.
This doesn't look like a demonstration, but rather like it's just for fun.
Of course, based on advanced understanding, many fan demonstrations in Spain are basically like this.
There are also media reporters at the scene. They will not take pictures of the whole process. They only need to capture a few photos of fans shouting slogans excitedly and post them in newspapers or on the Internet. Who knows what the scene is really like?
…
Gao Shen rode his bicycle all the way to the gate of Valdebebas.
Seeing this battle from a distance, he was really frightened and thought about whether to take a detour.
But soon, he noticed that the protesting fans only blocked the exit gate for vehicles, and did not pay attention to the small door for pedestrians to enter and exit. Even when Gao Shen approached, no one recognized him.
Another car came from a distance, and the demonstrators shouted from a distance.
"Chinese boy, get out of the Bernabeu!"
"Real Madrid's history cannot be tarnished, change the coach immediately!"
"We don't accept coaching from rookies!"
"Martin: The stupidest president in the history of Real Madrid!"
"Chinese, get out! Martin, get off the stage!"
Gao Shen pushed his bicycle and slowly passed through the small door next to him. Listening to their uneven slogans, he felt a very absurd feeling in his heart. Are these people really here to protest?
What's even more puzzling is that they completely ignored him.
"Good morning, Jose."
When Gao Shen passed the guard, he habitually greeted the security captain.
"Good morning." The security captain nodded towards him.
There was a lot of commotion outside, but the staff at Valdebebas treated Gao Shen quite well, and everyone knew he was innocent.
At least, Gao Shen is still unwilling to move into the Real Madrid coach's office.
It's all that damn chairman's doing.
"They..." Gao Shen stopped in front of the security captain, pointed at the protesting fans outside the door, and asked.
The security captain smiled and said, "I'm here to protest against you."
Gao Shen knew that he could understand those protest slogans, and there were many unpleasant words in them, but the problem was...
Perhaps understanding Gao Shen's doubts, the security captain couldn't help but laugh, "I guess they don't know you, and you are wearing a helmet, so..."
The most obvious black hair is covered, making it even harder to identify.
Gao Shen suddenly laughed awkwardly.
Should we be thankful for this? Or should we be sad?
More than two hundred people protested, but the protestors didn't even recognize me. What kind of truth is this?
"You should be the first Real Madrid coach to come to the training base on a bicycle. They didn't know that, so they blocked the car passage. And let alone them, even Valdebebas has a lot of staff.
I don’t even know you.”
After listening to the security captain's words, Gao Shen shrugged helplessly, "Tell me, should I be happy? Or sad?"
The security captain smiled slightly and said, "Don't think too much. We all know that this has nothing to do with you."
Gao Shen sighed and nodded, secretly happy in his heart.
Facts have proved that what he has done in the past two days is still effective.
People are naturally more likely to sympathize with the disadvantaged.
Just at this time, Gao Shen saw an Audi approaching from a distance. Looking at the license plate number, he knew it was Beckham's car, so he said goodbye to the security captain, pushed his bicycle, and headed towards the parking lot.
Seeing Beckham's car, the protesting fans shouted loudly again, but little did they know that Gao Shen had already quietly walked in under their noses.
…
Beckham saw Gao Shen pushing his bicycle at the door. After being blocked by fans, he also heard the fans' protests, but he was curious why the protesting fans would let Gao Shen enter and exit freely, but blocked himself?
His Spanish was not very good, so much so that he even doubted whether he had made a mistake? These fans were not here to protest Gao Shen at all, but to protest the superstar?
After finally getting through the door, he parked his car in the parking lot and happened to see Gao Shen standing not far away looking at him.
They were already face to face, and it was hard for Beckham to pretend not to see him, and to go to the locker room, he had to pass in front of Gao Shen, so he nodded to Gao Shen as usual and said, "Morning
Good, high."
"Good morning, David." Gao Shen replied.
When Beckham passed by him, Gao Shen spoke again, "Why are they blocking your car?"
The England star stopped, shook his head and said, "I don't know." He looked at Gao Shen with obvious doubts in his eyes.
"They came to protest against me." Gao Shen smiled bitterly, "But... they don't seem to know me."
Beckham couldn't help but smile when he thought of the absurd scene just now.
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
Who would have thought that the head coach of Real Madrid would ride a bicycle to work?
Among other things, the sponsor Audi has equipped special cars for the players and head coach of the first team, but Gao Shen obviously does not have one.
In fact, he still has an intern contract, not even the minimum formal coaching contract.
Thinking about it now, Beckham suddenly felt that Gao Shen was also wronged. He just graduated from college and came to Real Madrid as an intern for a period of time, but he ended up in such a disaster. How unlucky is it?
Gao Shen graduated from Loughborough University, which is near London, and Beckham is also from England, and his family is also near London. This makes them somewhat close, and they can occasionally chat a few words on weekdays.
In Real Madrid, there are very few people who can communicate with Beckham in English.
"Don't think too much. We all know that this matter has nothing to do with you." Beckham tasted a sense of sadness from Gao Shen's wry smile and couldn't help but advise, "I believe the matter will pass soon.
Then you change the team and start again."
"After something like this, what other team can I go to?" After a pause, Gao Shen looked up at Beckham, "Or, can you recommend it to me when the time comes?"
"That's no problem." Beckham readily agreed, "With your academic qualifications, it will definitely be no problem to intern with a Premier League team. I will contact you then."
After finishing speaking, the England midfielder responded with an encouraging and kind smile.
In fact, everyone who has been with him knows that Beckham is actually a very good person.
"It's just... I'm a little unwilling!" Gao Shen suddenly gritted his teeth forcefully.
"Not willing?" Beckham was stunned for a moment.
"I feel like a chess piece, being manipulated back and forth. It's obviously not my problem, but everyone is blaming me." As he spoke, Gao Shen had been paying attention to the change in Beckham's expression and noticed the slightest hint of it.
After feeling this, he immediately changed the subject.
"Just like you, after you came to Real Madrid in 2003, the team has never won the championship. Everyone pointed the finger at you and scolded you. Do you think this is fair? Are you convinced? Don't you have a
Don't you want to be reconciled?"
The topic was obviously about Gao Shen, but suddenly it turned to him. Beckham was caught off guard, but what Gao Shen said was all from his heart.
Like Gao Shen, he was also full of unwillingness.
Why are you scolding me?
Is it all my fault?
Gao Shen saw Beckham's expression and understood.
In the first half of 2007, a very important reason why Beckham still tried his best at Real Madrid after being banned by Capello and deciding to leave for the United States was that he was angry.
For four years, everyone blamed Beckham for the failure of the superstar strategy. In those years, how many people ridiculed Beckham as an embroidered pillow, a hyped-up star, and someone who looked down on him.
What a loser?
It was with this energy that Beckham withstood all the pressure, completely changed everyone's outlook within half a year, and won his first championship with Real Madrid. At the same time, it also made Capello regret abandoning Beck.
Ham made Real Madrid regret letting him transfer.
Now, what Gao Shen said immediately ignited the fire in Beckham's heart.
"From the time Del Bosque resigned to the departure of Makelele and Hierro, Real Madrid's offense and defense have been in a state of disorder. Queiroz's transformation was not successful. There were too many superstars who advocated individualism and worked alone in the frontcourt, which led to the loss of the ball.
The team's overall tactics are unbalanced and the defense is out of control. This is not your responsibility, but why should you bear so much abuse and accusations?"
"David, have you never thought about making all those who insulted and accused you regret? Have you never thought about proving your strength and worth to the world? Are you willing to let the world continue to misunderstand you like this?
?”
Beckham looked at Gao Shen in front of him in astonishment, feeling truly astonished.
Has he thought about it?
I have thought about it, I must have thought about it, it is impossible not to think about it.
Is it possible?
The answer is, he doesn't know.
"What do you want to do?" Beckham quickly calmed down and asked.
Gao Shen stared at Beckham with his eyes full of determination and determination.
"I need your help, I want to beat Atletico Madrid!"
