After meeting the two big guys in Naples, Gao Shen bought two bottles of wine in the city, called Fernando Lucas, called a taxi, and went straight to the hotel. After picking up Lucas,
Went to Carlo's house.
Tonight, Carlo invites them to dinner.
The three of them sat at Carlo's house, eating the delicious food prepared by Mrs. Carlo for them. Lucas drank some wine with Carlo.
When Gao Shen returned to China this time, he specially prepared gifts for Carlo, Lucas and others, one of which was tea.
After the meal, Carlo took out Gao Shen's gift and made tea for them.
The air conditioner in the living room blows air-conditioning, and as soon as the hot water is flushed down, the smoke suddenly disappears and the aroma of tea overflows.
"I met with Naples chairman De Laurentiis and technical director Marino again in the afternoon," Gao Shen said lightly.
Carlo and Lucas both knew about this and were not surprised.
"How did it turn out?" Carlo asked.
He has always known that Gao Shen is much more popular than him.
At least so far, no one has contacted him to coach.
It made him a little anxious now. It would not be a problem to continue to be unemployed like this.
Gao Shen talked about Juventus, and both Carlo and Lucas frowned.
When a head coach coaches a team, what he fears most is that he will be cheated by the management.
The management of Juventus is indeed in trouble now, even a sinkhole.
Especially the sporting director Alessio Seco, who holds on to the power of transfers, which is fine, because he is afraid that there will be problems with his recruitment, or that he will not cooperate with Gao Shen at all.
Therefore, as for what Gao Shen said, he basically did not consider Juventus, and both of them agreed.
"Where is Naples?" Lucas asked with concern.
Carlo also frowned, "This team is not even as good as Juventus, a newly promoted team from Serie B. The foundation is too weak and it can be said to be poor. More importantly, is this chairman reliable? Is he really willing to invest?
?”
For a team like Naples, which is technically a brand new team that has only been established for two years, has been struggling in the third level league, and finally promoted to Serie B, the most important thing to do is to lay a solid foundation.
But since De Laurentiis left the current Rhea alone and had to contact Gao Shen in Longwangshu, this is obviously an ambitious guy.
Such people are ambitious, but they are afraid of being just paper tigers.
"There is no need to worry about this. De Laurentiis can see his positioning of Naples. He is not the kind of money-burning tycoon who will worry about every detail, but his investment will certainly not be small, especially the initial investment."
After a pause, Gao Shen thought about his words, "I think he just wants to invest in a team that can compete in the top three or even the championship in Serie A. This is for sure."
"As for the fact that Naples is poor and has nothing, to me, that's not a bad thing. It's better to paint on a blank sheet of paper."
Lucas kept nodding, he had an almost blind confidence in his advanced abilities.
Carlo, on the other hand, was cautious by nature, so he felt that Gao Shen was being overestimated?
Naples has no money to burn, so they can only bring in younger players, which is similar to buying a lottery ticket.
Where does the confidence come from that you can definitely win big prizes?
Not only Carlo, but also Sacchi and Valdano were puzzled by this. They also asked Gao Shen several times, but he always talked about him in an ambiguous manner, which made everyone secretly guess that there was something wrong.
Secret right?
Or, as Juventus' Seco said, the advanced talent selection takes advantage of Real Madrid's youth training?
"So you're leaning toward Naples?" Carlo asked.
Gao Shen smiled and said, "From the current point of view, they have given me the greatest power. First I went to China, and now I am chasing after Madrid. The sincerity is enough, but I am still considering it, and they are also considering some of the conditions I have offered.
.”
In order to keep up with Gao Shen, De Laurentiis and Marino even lived directly in Madrid. It is estimated that the results will be available in two or three days.
"I see, you still have some knots in your heart. Do you want to teach Seco of Juventus a lesson?" Lucas knows Gao Shen best, and he doesn't believe that Gao Shen can swallow this breath.
Gao Shen smiled, but did not deny it, "There are reasons for this."
Carlo saw two young men in front of him talking about coaching a team so easily and freely. He was really speechless. He really didn't know whether he should say that they were doing it with ease? Or were they young people who don't understand sorrow?
"What if De Laurentiis goes back on his word or breaks the contract?" Carlo reminded.
Gao Shen nodded, "So, the contract is signed once a year. I want all the terms to be implemented in the contract one by one. Now the initiative is with me."
It can be seen that De Laurentiis is even more anxious because of Juventus.
Gao Shen is no longer a rookie now, but a double-winner coach in La Liga and the Champions League!
Not to mention anything else, how many current European football coaches are at the level of Champions League champions?
"To be honest, I can't imagine that you, a double champion coach of La Liga and the Champions League, would go to coach a newly promoted team from Serie B. If you tell me, would that make all the media reporters shocked? They will definitely say that you are in
I couldn't make it in the top league, so I went to Serie B to play for the newly promoted team. You are the best double-championship coach in history." Lucas said with a wry smile.
He is now more and more able to figure out the routines of media reporters.
Don't say it, it should basically be like this.
Gao Shen and Carlo looked at each other and laughed in unison.
"It's okay, if they dare to say that, I will slap them in the face hard again!" Gao Shen said with confidence.
Now even Carlo was secretly impressed by Gao Shen.
If nothing else, this confidence is truly admirable.
Ever since he became the head coach of Real Madrid, Gao Shen seems to have been completely transformed. He has always been so confident and calm.
It felt like there was nothing in this world that could defeat him.
"By the way, what request did you make to De Laurentiis?" Lucas asked casually.
"Quite a few, one of them is that I have to bring a core coaching team of five people."
"Five?"
Not only Lucas was surprised, Carlo was also a little surprised. Isn't this too huge?
You know, some famous coaches now basically only have three people, but Gao Shen will have two more at once. All of this is due to the expenses of salary and bonuses.
But Gao Shen also has his own considerations.
It's okay now, but in the next few years, the competition faced by head coaches will become increasingly severe. Techniques and tactics can almost be said to be changing with each passing day. Once they can't keep up, they will be eliminated immediately.
The ability of the head coach alone is actually very limited, so a team with division of labor and cooperation is needed.
When Guardiola was coaching Barcelona, the first team coaching staff had the largest number of members, reaching more than 30 people. This was a very large number, so much so that after Rosell became the chairman of Barcelona, he was quite concerned about it.
Complaints, a lot of layoffs.
This probably happened around 2010, only four years ago.
Therefore, Gao Shen is taking precautions and simply takes one step at a time.
"I have calculated that Lorenzo Buenaventura will continue to be the physical coach and Fernando will be the analyst. I also need an assistant coach responsible for leading team training, a goalkeeper coach, and I also want a
A technical coach."
Gao Shen had already planned this, and this was actually necessary.
Needless to say, the physical coach, analyst and assistant coach, the reason for the goalkeeper coach is that Gao Shen needs to adopt high-position pressing tactics. The goalkeeper's position is further forward than the conventional position, almost controlling the entire penalty area.
Then the problem arises, current mainstream goalkeeper coaches cannot do this.
The goalkeeper coaches in the Netherlands and Spain who are more in line with advanced requirements are the goalkeeper coaches of the Netherlands and Spain, because they both studied under the same person, that is Frans Houck, Van Gaal's goalkeeper coach at the time.
This person completely overturned the training mechanism for goalkeepers in Spanish football. Therefore, over the years, goalkeepers coming out of Spain basically meet the needs of high-position pressing tactics.
Possession of the ball is still the most common among Western Premier League teams, but the problem is that this is a general trend.
In the next few years, world football will continue to incorporate ball control. Every team will emphasize ball control. This is one direction.
Controlling the ball requires three aspects, one is overall tactics, one is running without the ball, and the other is foot skills.
For players who can play in top leagues, neither aspect is a problem, the key is training.
It's not difficult to pass the ball with one kick, the key is training.
Running without the ball is not difficult, the key lies in training.
The level and quality of training are the key to determining a team's combat effectiveness.
Gao Shen can say with certainty that in the future, the division of a team's coaching staff will become more and more detailed, and the coaching team will become larger and larger.
Does that mean we have to dig out those future giants?
no.
Just like Lucas.
Gao Shen had never heard of his name in his previous life, but as Gao Shen led Real Madrid to win the double championship, Fernando Lucas, as an analyst, also began to rise to fame and became the number one figure in the field of football analysis.
Someone once asked a question: Why did Liu Bang's Peixian County gather so many talents?
The answer is that talents are all cultivated.
Therefore, the top coaches have their own set of fixed teams, because these people are trained under the head coach.
Gao Shen now also needs to find and train his own team.
Fernando Lucas and Lorenzo Buenaventura have been included in Gao Shen's plans, and he intends to let Carlo serve as assistant coach, but has not mentioned it to Carlo yet.
The real problem is the goalkeeper coach and the technical coach.
"What do you think of Pedro Haro, the goalkeeper coach of Real Madrid's first team?" Lucas suggested.
Forty-three years old, a native of Madrid. He has played for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and other La Liga teams in his career. After retiring, he first worked as a goalkeeper coach at Atletico Madrid, and then worked for the Spanish U21 youth team for two years. He came to Real Madrid in the summer of 2005.
, it was a pleasure to work with Gao Shen.
Of course, this is mainly because Pedro Haro mainly trains Casillas, and there is no conflict with Gao Shen, so the cooperation will naturally be pleasant.
"This is a good suggestion. Pedro Haro is very capable." Carlo also agreed.
