If you want to ask, what are the advantages for experienced players of FM Football Manager?
He must be familiar with all kinds of Mavericks scouting data.
Gao Shen is no exception.
When he was playing FM Football Manager, the most exciting part was poaching the Mavericks, and also poaching all kinds of great coaches. He had to complete all the trainings before he stopped.
This has also taught him to be familiar with the statistics and resumes of outstanding players, and he is also very familiar with outstanding coaches.
For example, the Rudolf Borrell in front of him at this moment.
Gao Shen still clearly remembers that there was a team in Borrell's resume, the Salonika Hercules in Greece, where he was an assistant coach. At that time, the head coach of this Greek team was Antoine, who also came from Barcelona's youth training.
Hull Pedls.
That was in 2008.
In other words, Rudolf Borrell was not satisfied with his work in the Barcelona youth training camp. He wanted to make a breakthrough, but unfortunately, this trip to Greece only lasted until December 2008. Before the winter break, both of them were dismissed from get out of class, so he returned to Barcelona and continued to coach the U16 youth team.
Then there is what everyone is familiar with. In 2009, Benitez reorganized the Liverpool youth training and lured Rudolf Borrell to Liverpool in the Premier League and made him the technical consultant of the Liverpool youth training.
This is also the reason why Gao Shen is willing to come to Barcelona.
…
"Rudolph, I believe you have guessed my purpose."
Gao Shen looked at Borrell and smiled lightly.
Knowing Gao Shen's intentions and still being willing to meet is a signal in itself.
"I'm not satisfied with you saying that I have found a team. I am forming a core coaching team of five people. Four have been identified so far. You are the fifth one I want to invite."
When the conversation was almost over, Gao Shen opened the skylight and spoke openly.
"Juventus?" Borrell asked concerned.
After Gao Shen called him, he also learned about Gao Shen's movements. The latest news is that Italian media broke the news that Gao Shen met with Juventus general manager Blanco and sports director Secco in Madrid.
Therefore, the whole world believes that Gao Shen is likely to coach Juventus.
Gao Shen shook his head and said that he had been in contact with Juventus, but the two sides had too many differences and could not reach an agreement.
"I'm going to coach Napoli."
"Naples?" Borrell was very surprised, frowned and thought for a while, "Isn't this team bankrupt?"
"Yes, it went bankrupt in 2004, was acquired and reorganized by a man named De Laurentiis, and is now back in Serie B."
When he heard it was Serie B again, Borrell's frown deepened.
Especially a newly promoted team.
"Is this team reliable?" Borrell asked with concern.
There are too many problems for mid- and lower-tier teams, and there are even cases where some teams went bankrupt and were unable to pay wages after winning the championship.
"I am responsible for the salary of the coaching staff." Gao Shen said with a faint smile.
Borrell felt a little relieved, because Gao Shen was at least a well-known figure in European football, and he would not be fooled by the golden name he had worked so hard to build.
To put it bluntly, the weight of a double-championship coach is far more valuable and more secure than Napoli's past glory.
"One of the important reasons why I did not go to Juventus this time and chose Naples is that I am eager to get more space to play. I want to build a team in my mind. I am also at the management level of Naples.
I issued a military order and built a strong Serie A team in three years."
"Three years?" Borrell was shocked, "How is this possible?"
To turn a newly promoted Serie B team into a strong Serie A team in three years?
Did you really think you were playing Football Manager?
Gao Shen smiled disapprovingly, "Look, you don't believe it. It was like this before and it's still like this now, but it doesn't matter. I will prove once again that the promise I made will definitely be fulfilled."
Hearing Gao Shen's extremely resolute tone, and thinking of Gao Shen's experience in coaching Real Madrid, Borrell had to re-examine this possibility.
After all, Real Madrid won the double championship last season, and Borrell also felt that kind of shock in the Barcelona youth training camp.
Rijkaard went berserk in Sports City!
Wasn't this impossible at the beginning?
In fact, what Gao Shen has created in Real Madrid is still impossible, isn't it?
"Why are you looking for me?" Borrell asked another important question.
Gao Shen didn't hide it, "I think that in the next few years, passing and controlling the ball will receive more and more attention. Now there is a trend of more and more teams playing passing and controlling the ball. I believe that the passing and controlling elements will become more and more important."
The more I do, the sooner I will adapt to this trend."
"Barcelona's passing and possession system has its own unique features. You have been here for many years. I believe you will be able to help me in this regard. In addition, your ability to train players is also very strong, such as Messi."
"He has always been the little Maradona of our team!" Borrell also smiled proudly when mentioning Messi.
"I don't want to play in Serie A or any team that controls the ball like Barcelona. I will play more direct, faster and sharper, but many things are similar, especially the pass, so I
We need an excellent technical coach like you to train our players' skills and passing and ball control abilities."
When Gao Shen said this, it was actually very obvious, and Borrell basically had no doubts.
He didn't dare to talk about other aspects, but the few points Gao Shen raised were what he was best at.
According to the positioning of the advanced coaching team, Carlo is the assistant coach, responsible for daily training and overall overall situation, Buenaventura is responsible for physical training, Borrell is responsible for technical training, Lopez is responsible for goalkeeper training, and Lucas is responsible for intelligence collection.
and game analysis.
It can be said that this is truly taking shape.
Now, all that's left is Borrell's nod.
But the Barcelona youth training coach did not give a reply immediately, only saying that he would consider it.
Gao Shen asked him to think about it slowly, but he could only wait for him for a week at most.
"But I hope to get your affirmative answer."
One week is enough time to think about it.
More importantly, Gao Shen's time is also precious. Although it is the league's break, he still has a lot to do.
For example, after forming the coaching staff as early as possible, start formulating season plans and training plans.
Members of the coaching staff must step into their roles as soon as possible, and Gao Shen must also start working on signings.
This is reality, not a game.
In FM Football Manager, things that can be done with just a click of the mouse often take time, sometimes even a long time.
In the advanced plan, some players can be directly handed over to Marino, but some players need him to personally come forward and try to persuade them.
To put it bluntly, Napoli now has nothing but a newly promoted team from Serie B.
De Laurentiis said he was rich, but who knew? Who believed him?
But Gao Shen is different. He is a former Real Madrid coach and a winner of double titles in La Liga and the Champions League. He stands out more convincingly.
Especially for the young players Gao Shen has trained at Real Madrid, this will make it easier for him to persuade players to join.
Naples used to have a very loud brand, especially during the Maradona era, but now, it is no longer what it used to be.

After meeting Borrell, Gao Shen and Carlo did not stay in Barcelona, but returned directly to Madrid.
That night, Gao Shen summoned all four assistants in Madrid together, using Carlo's house as a temporary office location, and began to discuss the situation of the new season. Gao Shen also put forward some of his expectations and requirements for the new season.
For example, his tactical requirements are to press and press from a high position, and at the same time complete the transition between offense and defense in the shortest possible time. On the offensive end, he must attack both wings, and then switch from the wings back to the center.
"So, I need one or two high center forwards. Roberto Sousa is good, but he is a bit old. He is already 31 years old. The other forward, Carlayo, is only 1.72 meters tall and does not meet my requirements.
"
"Two wingers must be able to break through, pass the ball and cut inside, a midfielder with excellent running ability, double midfielders with both offense and defense, two full-backs must have the offensive ability to penetrate from behind, and the defense must not be bad.
The two central defenders must have mobility and passing ability, and the goalkeeper must have a large control range and certain passing ability.”
Gao Shen stated all his demands in one breath, leaving Carlo and others stunned.
Darling, this is a big project.
It's like renovating Naples from top to bottom!
What’s even more frightening is that Gao Shen has so many demands and needs to introduce many players at once. Is this feasible?
When Carlo raised his concerns, Gao Shen nodded to express his understanding.
"Therefore, this summer's training camp is very important. I will draw up a list as soon as possible and let Naples' transfer department operate as soon as possible. We will strive to have at least half of the players in place before the training camp starts, and then transfer the existing players
Get rid of the bad and keep the good.”
When he said this, Gao Shen was full of confidence.
"I hope everyone can understand that my purpose of reorganizing Napoli is not to promote from Serie B. On the contrary, this has never been a goal I considered because I am confident in promotion."
"This season, I have only two goals. First, to defeat Juventus, and second, to integrate the team. Next season, I want Naples to become the most promoted team in the history of Serie A!"
Lucas's whole body suddenly lit up.
This is profound!
He most admires the profoundness!
He has never taken the ordinary path, he has always been so confident and elusive, but he has to be admired.
When he was coaching Real Madrid, he was like this, always ahead of everyone.
Now, he is still like this.
When everyone thought that his goal was to be promoted to Serie B, who would have thought that he was already considering Serie A.
"Please believe me, I am by no means aimless, nor am I exaggerating. I am really confident. I will definitely lead everyone, lead Naples, rush to Serie A, and turn it upside down!"
"Okay, good point!" Lucas jumped up immediately.
Others also nodded, such a goal makes people's blood boil.
Even Carlo was excited and full of expectations at this moment.
