Sometimes, Gao Shen really feels that it is too easy for European clubs to make money.
It was so easy that they didn't realize it at all, and even all the fans around the world didn't realize how bad their management was. Especially from the perspective of Gao Shen, who had been in a big company in his previous life, it was simply intolerable.
If nothing else, let’s talk about Real Madrid last season.
The head coach was changed from Gao Shen to Capello. As a result, as soon as Capello took office, Gao Shen's group of players continued to be reused, but not many. He had his own set of criteria for selecting players.
This is not bad, but at best the growth of the young players promoted by Gao Shen is limited.
But this summer, the head coach was changed from Capello to Schuster, and they adopted a different approach, and even planned a major reorganization.
How much waste of resources is caused here?
Some people may say that Calderon and Mijatovic may be trying to make money from it.
Yes, but almost the entire European football world has this kind of virtue.
One emperor and one courtier.
The most famous thing is that in his previous life, Gao Shen approached Mourinho when selecting a coach for Barcelona. Isn't this a joke?
Gao Shen believes that the CD scandal happened, but to say that the Barcelona management listened to Mourinho's plan and then asked Guardiola to implement it is a conspiracy theory and is basically impossible.
As someone who had worked in a large enterprise in his previous life, Gao Shen was completely unable to understand the thinking logic of club managers.
Do they think there is too much money and too many talents?
And the players.
When he was at Real Madrid, Gao Shen heard someone talk about something.
At that time, Real Madrid spent a huge amount of money to lure Anelka from Arsenal. Wenger used the money to buy Henry and build a Colney training base. This was cited as a good talk by countless people, but what did Real Madrid do?
Many people just know that Anelka will not be able to stay at Real Madrid for long.
Why?
People who know about Anelka will say that Anelka has a weird personality, is introverted, has difficulty integrating, and so on...
But the question is, shouldn’t these things be clarified before buying someone?
Isn't this the minimum?
Then, a very interesting thing happened.
On the first day Anelka came to Real Madrid's old sports city, no one took him.
Yes, from the time he signed the contract to when he checked in, no one took him with him from beginning to end. There was no locker for him in the locker room. He didn't know what to do and could only move his belongings around.
Anyone can imagine how a sensitive, introverted, and even eccentric young man would feel if he encountered such a thing on his first day in a completely unfamiliar environment.
Gao Shen feels that this may not be the key reason for Anelka's failure at Real Madrid, but isn't it worth reflecting on?
Also, a few years ago, Chelsea spent a lot of money to sign Drogba, but what was the result?
Just throw Drogba into the hotel and ignore him. The same goes for other players in the same period.
Then Drogba could only use his poor English to rent an apartment by himself.
The whole world knows that football stars have money but not much culture, and real estate agents are not stupid and want to slaughter the fat sheep.
It is conceivable that before officially moving in and settling down, how could Drogba play well on the court?
The club buys and sells people at will, pursuing hot rookies at every turn. Many players suddenly become famous because of one competition, and their value increases countless times. That's it. After buying them, they don't want to let them work for the club.
They just throw it away and don't care, as if the players are immortals who don't eat grains.
This is not a problem for one or a few teams, but a very common phenomenon.
This is the trend across the entire industry.
Gao Shen has worked in a company in his previous life, so he knows that employees like players who receive huge transfer fees, high annual salaries, and are the core competitiveness of the company are very, very important in any company.
.
From the initial layer-by-layer selection process, after locking in the target, you need to understand everything about the other person, including personality, behavior, and other aspects, and conduct a comprehensive assessment, followed by interviews and negotiations.
When you join the job, it includes help with placement, such as whether you need to rent a house, whether you need help contacting your child's school, etc.; you also need to have someone to guide and introduce you when you join the job, and even have someone to take care of you after you join the job.
All of this has only one purpose, which is to help this important employee integrate into the team as soon as possible and make a contribution.
But European clubs basically don't do these things. They just feel that if they spend money and buy people, they should play well. If they don't play well, that's your problem.
As for things outside the stadium, finding a house, contacting schools, how to integrate into the team, etc., these have nothing to do with them.
Gao Shen admires the modern management of Florentino's Real Madrid, but in fact, Real Madrid still cannot do well in this regard.
After arriving in Naples, Gao Shen realized this problem, so after many exchanges, he chose captain Montevino.
Montevino plays a role similar to corporate human resources in Naples, responsible for guiding players to the locker room and integrating into the locker room, while also helping them deal with various off-field incidents.
Including looking for a house and so on.
No one pays attention to these things on weekdays, or even pays attention to them, but only those in the Naples locker room can clearly feel its importance and enjoy the benefits it brings.
.
This is why, after Naples won the Serie B championship last season, Gao Shen asked Montevino to come on stage to receive the award.
The reason why no one in the team objected.
On the court, his ability is not worthy of the captain's armband, but off the court, he is a true captain.
If he doesn't deserve it, who does?
In addition, Gao Shen also takes great pains to help new players integrate into the team.
For example, he introduced the mentor system in corporate management, which is to let old employees guide new employees. This is considered a good way, but there are also many hidden dangers and problems.
For example, it is impossible for Gao Shen to let Lichtsteiner go with György Garik. Wouldn't this mean that the two of them should play against each other?
Everyone knows that Lichtsteiner is here to steal Garrick's position. Can Garrick take care of him?
Therefore, Gao Shen called Rakitic.
why?
Although Rakitic is of Croatian origin, he has lived in Switzerland since he was a child and also played for Basel. Although Lichtsteiner was born in Grasshopper Zurich, at least they still have some common language, and the two are close in position on the court.
.
There were others, Callejon and Parejo, and I left it to Sanchez. They all spoke Spanish.
Moreover, Sanchez is Gao Shen's favorite general. It can be said that he obeys Gao Shen's words and his position is very stable. Gao Shen believes that he will play a role.
Thiago Motta was handed over to David Luiz, both Brazilians. The key is that Thiago Motta lacks confidence now, but Happy Bean is famous for being careless. Gao Shen still hopes that he can instill more confidence.
To Thiago Motta.
After finalizing the list and candidates, Gao Shen was also not idle.
He has been calling and communicating with the players, maintaining close contact, making preparations for the new season training, and closely understanding the players' psychology and trends.
All of this has only one purpose, which is to allow all Naples players to concentrate on training and games in the new season.
Entering July, the European summer transfer market is gradually entering its climax.
La Liga and the Premier League are as strong as ever. Needless to say, the Premier League has amazing purchasing power. La Liga's Real Madrid and Barcelona are also the protagonists in this summer's transfer market.
Real Madrid introduced players such as Robben, Sneijder, Pepe, Drenthe, etc., all of which cost a lot of money; Barcelona introduced players such as Henry, Gabriel Milito, Abidal and Yaya Toure.
Also spent huge sums of money.
But what is unexpected is that even Atletico Madrid also invested a lot of money. After selling Torres, it successively introduced stars such as Forlan, Simao, Raul Garcia, Reyes and Luis Garcia.
Aguirre's team clearly wants to make a big splash in the new season.
In comparison, Serie A seems much more low-key, with Juventus investing the most.
After losing the Serie B championship last season, Juventus underwent a large-scale reorganization this summer. The head coach changed from Deschamps to tinker Ranieri, and then successively introduced Iaquinta, Thiago, Almiron,
andrade,
Salihamidzic and other powerful stars also redeemed players such as Nocerino, Molinaro and Criscito.
It can be said that after this summer's reorganization, Juventus has changed from shot to gun and has a completely new look. It is no longer the runner-up in Serie B last season.
Juventus invested a total of 55 million euros in the transfer market, which shows how determined the team is to reorganize.
It is worth mentioning that the young forward Paolucci, who was on loan at Ascoli last season, took the initiative to provide intelligence and advice to Juventus after playing Naples in the Italian Cup, coupled with his performance at Ascoli.
Yes, when he was recalled by Juventus, he wanted to stay with the Bianconeri.
Unexpectedly, Seco sold him to Udinese in the blink of an eye, which made Paolucci burst into tears during the interview.
Just throw it away when you're done, why don't you pull it out?
This also proves once again that being a dog licker really doesn’t end well.
Milan signed Pato from Inter Brasil for 22 million euros and became the top bidder in Serie A this season. Roma sold Qiwu to Inter Milan for 16 million euros, creating a record of Serie A sales.
The best bidder.
Naples invested a total of less than 10 million euros in signings, but selling Gervinho earned a full 15 million euros, which is equivalent to a net income of 5 million euros in the transfer market, which is considered a high level in Serie A.
The only number.
It introduced eight players and invested less than 10 million, ranking 15th in Serie A. It is only closer than Catania, Siena and other relegation teams. Among the three newly promoted teams, let alone the investment that topped Serie A.
Juventus vs.
Even if Genoa's total of 2.5 million euros is short.
This also made everyone more convinced that Naples seemed to be aiming for relegation.
Otherwise, how to explain being so stingy in the transfer market?
Have you ever seen those teams that made money in the transfer market, improved their strength, and achieved good rankings?
