The place where Gao Shen and Blanco agreed to meet was at a hotel near the Madrid airport.
Juventus has two senior executives here: general manager Jean Claude Blanc, sporting director Alessio Secco, and one of their assistants, who is said to be a lawyer.
There are only two people on Gao Shen's side, him and Lucas.
This meeting was very formal. It was arranged in a small conference room in the hotel. The two parties sat opposite each other. It was considered a formal interview.
Gao Shen and Blanco had communicated on the phone several times before, and they both knew what the other wanted.
Gao Shen attaches great importance to Juventus' platform. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the team Juventus decided to keep is still very strong. If he can coach this team, he will be more confident to succeed.
.
What Juventus valued most about Gao Shen was his tactical philosophy. They also saw that the tactics of Serie A were lagging behind and wanted to use Gao Shen to reform Juventus' techniques and tactics and bring more advanced concepts.
You know, this set of advanced concepts helped Real Madrid win the double championship, and it has been verified by Benitez's results, and he has deep Italian football genes.
But the two sides also have differences, that is, Gao Shen wants to get involved in the club's transfer and contract renewal.
To put it simply, it is human resources and finance.
Gao Shen does not ask for power similar to that of Ferguson and Wenger, because he feels that this is almost impossible.
Let alone him, no one else, not even a world-famous coach, would have had the power of Ferguson and Wenger.
These two are more like special products of a special era and cannot be copied.
Even if Ferguson and Wenger are fired, it is impossible for Manchester United and Arsenal to give their successors the same power as these two famous coaches.
Gao Shen just wants to get a strong guarantee that the club can bring in the players he wants.
This point is actually very important.
Because many times, even a strong player like Mourinho is now complaining that the club did not bring in the players he wanted, but instead forced him to get Shevchenko, whom he did not want.
That's the problem.
Sports director Alessio Secco was more direct, "Mr. Gao, I don't mean any offense, but I'm curious. You have no operational experience in this area. How can you ask the club to hand over such important power to the club?"
Is it in your hands?"
Seko's tone of voice was quite arrogant.
This kind of arrogance is different from De Laurentiis's unruly attitude. He looks down more condescendingly.
Not only did Gao Shen frown when he heard this, but even Lucas was a little out of breath.
"Mr. Seco, I understand your concerns, but what I want to say is that at Real Madrid, the value of each of the players I discovered has increased several times. I believe you will also admit this."
"How is this the same?" Seco shook his head and laughed, "Gao, you didn't spend a penny of the club's transfer fee in Real Madrid. All the players you discovered were actually found from Real Madrid's youth training, and you
You know, Real Madrid’s youth training has brought together the best youth training elites in Spain.”
"In other words, those who can be trained in Real Madrid's youth training already have great potential, and you are just selecting some players who meet your tactical requirements. Whether it is the scope of selection or the vision, everything is changing.
The market for signings is completely different."
After a pause, Secco smiled again and said: "It's not that I look down on you, Gao, you never know what signings are like in the transfer market. You also underestimate the operation of the transfer market."
Anyone can hear that Seko said, "It's not that I look down on you," but in fact, what he meant was to tell Gao Shen very bluntly, "I'm sorry, I just look down on you, don't mind."
Not only were Gao Shen and Lucas a little angry, but Blanco coughed heavily and signaled Seco to have a better attitude. In any case, the person sitting opposite him was also the head coach who had won both La Liga and the Champions League.
"I'm sorry, Gao, I've always been straightforward when speaking." Seko smiled nonchalantly.
Gao Shen looked at Blanco and Seco opposite with a sullen face, and he began to understand his situation at Juventus.
Obviously, Blanco is interested in him, but Secco is not interested, and Secco is the sports director.
Juventus is different from teams like Real Madrid. Real Madrid has a chairman who speaks for itself, while Juventus has division of labor among various departments.
In Real Madrid, Martin simply pointed out that Gao Shen was the head coach, but not in Juventus.
"Okay, Mr. Gao, I think we understand almost everything we should understand."
Seko closed his notes, put his hands on the table, and faced Gao Shen with a smile.
"What I want to tell you is that although we at Juventus have fallen into the second division, we still retain a strong team. We are still one of the best teams in Italy. Our finances, players, all kinds of
The facilities are the best in Serie A.”
"In the past, our head coaches such as Ancelotti, Lippi and Capello were all the best in Italy and even in the world. Even now, we still hope that our head coaches are of this level.
of."
Gao Shen was still a little angry at first, but now he suddenly figured it out.
Before time travel, when he was working in a company, he encountered such personnel issues frequently.
To put it bluntly, Seko is here to disrupt the situation.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will start next.
After thinking about this, Gao Shen showed a faint smile and looked at Seko in front of him, as if to say: Please start your performance!
"Although your short-term coaching at Real Madrid was very successful, you have never had the experience of coaching a full season. More importantly, everyone knows that there is a very important reason for your success. You coached Real Madrid. If you were to coach
For other teams, your tactics may not work."
"So, your coaching experience at Real Madrid is not considered successful, and it cannot prove your ability. So, if you want to coach our Juventus team, what advantages do you think you have?"
Maybe Seko has tried his best to look amiable, but his arrogance and prejudice are already evident.
He was actually asking Gao Shen: Why should we hire you?
Gao Shen was really not angry anymore because he suddenly remembered an article he had read in his previous life.
The real rise of Juventus came after Andre Agnelli of the Agnelli family took over Juventus and reorganized the club's management. This completed the transformation. Before that, the Bianconeri were also in a mess.
.
The sports director is responsible for transfer operations and player contract renewals. Everyone knows that this is a very lucrative job.
Let me ask, after finally climbing to this position, how can Seko be willing to give power to Gao Shen?
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents!
Later, the key reason why Deschamps resigned directly after leading the team to Serie A was that Secco made trouble with him during the transfer and refused to allow Deschamps to bring in the players he wanted, so he resigned angrily.
After understanding this level, Gao Shen started to laugh.
He calmly put away the materials in front of him. It was a thick stack that he had carefully prepared for this interview these days, but it seemed of no use now.
But it doesn’t matter. The process of preparing materials is also a kind of sorting and improvement for him.
But he has no intention of letting Juventus see the fruits of his labor.
"Gao." Blanco was caught off guard when he saw Gao Shen collecting his things.
"It's okay, Mr. Blanco. Thank you very much for taking the time to meet with me. But Mr. Secco is right. Juventus is the top club and should invite the top coaches. I am not worthy of Juventus."
Tusi!”
After Gao Shen paused, he stared at Seko and smiled confidently, "But it doesn't matter. I will find an opportunity to prove my strength. I hope it will be the next time we meet, Mr. Seko."
After saying that, Gao Shen also packed up his things, took Lucas with him, and left without looking back.
Blanco sent Gao Shen away, and then looked at Seko's triumphant expression. How could he not know what was going on?
"You will definitely regret it!" Blanco also got up angrily and left.
Seko didn't care. He shrugged and laughed, "I will regret it if I use him!"
In his opinion, even if Juventus is downgraded, it is still Juventus.
With the Fiat consortium behind you, are you still worried about not being able to hire a famous coach?
Are you kidding me?
When Juventus chooses a coach, there are so many famous coaches in Italian football vying to come, so why choose a 25-year-old rookie?
Even give him transfer rights and financial rights?
What is this? A disguised form of power reduction?
I'm not that stupid!
…………

When walking out of the hotel, Gao Shen took a deep breath and got rid of all the complicated emotions in his heart.
"They go too far and look down on people!" Lucas cursed angrily.
Gao Shen looked at his friend and comforted him, "That's why I told you to be mentally prepared."
"Don't worry, with your coaching ability, you won't be afraid that no team will hire you." Lucas is full of confidence in this.
Gao Shen is equally confident, "If I have the chance, I will definitely make them regret it!"
"What now?" Lucas asked in embarrassment.
They originally planned to have a meal together to celebrate the cooperation after finishing their talks with Juventus, but unexpectedly they broke up.
This can be considered a small lesson.
Real Madrid's membership system certainly has its own problems, but management mechanisms like Juventus also have various problems.
"There is nothing we can do. Let's find a place to eat. I'll treat you." At the end of the sentence, Gao Shen couldn't help laughing.
In Gao Shen's opinion, Seko's making things difficult was just a villain's attempt to get his way, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
Even if you are angry, it only lasts for a short time.
Based on his experience in the corporate world, if he still gets angry over such a petty thing, he will be driven crazy every day.
Of course, although he wasn't angry, he was still holding back some energy in his heart.
If he finds an opportunity, he will prove his strength in front of Seko and make him regret it!
The two hailed a taxi and planned to return directly to the hotel.
But just before Gao Shenlin got in the car, his cell phone rang suddenly.
Gao Shen took it out and saw the caller ID: Pierpaolo Marino.
