"I heard that Gao Shen hasn't renewed his contract with you yet?"
In the VIP stands, Inter Milan technical director Blanca asked a question seemingly casually, which shocked Naples general manager Marino sitting next to him.
On the court, Naples continued to organize wave after wave of attacks towards Inter Milan.
But in the stands, Marino's heart plummeted.
"We have a three-year contract," Marino replied calmly.
But the change in his expression just now was captured by Blanca.
Inter Milan's technical director smiled and said, "It is indeed three years, but I heard it is a one-year contract. The initiative lies with him."
Marino was speechless.
When Gao Shen made this request, Naples didn't pay attention and thought it was no big deal. But now it seems that the length of the contract has become a big issue.
One-year signing is really beneficial to Gao Shen.
If he wants to leave now, Napoli will have no way to stop him, not even requiring liquidated damages.
Of course, even if there are contract restrictions, generally speaking, Naples will not be too tough in such a situation.
These days, in European football, only those with strength have confidence.
Who would want to offend a head coach like Gao Shen?
Maybe one day, the team has a problem, and he happens to have time, and maybe they can cooperate again.
This is a common thing in European football.
If you really want to do things like former Real Madrid chairman Martin did, it will be difficult to do it.
"What exactly do you want to say, Marco?" Marino asked in a deep voice.
Blanca showed a confident smile, "We are very interested in the profound."
"Impossible!" Marino categorically rejected, "He will not coach Inter Milan. He will still be in Naples next season."
"Don't be so sure, Pierpaolo. You know, Napoli's ceiling has reached its peak. If he wants to go to the next level, he needs to get a bigger and broader platform. If he wants to compete in the Champions League, then
You can only come to Inter Milan."
When talking about this, Blanca said in a very confident tone: "In Serie A, there is only one team that can compete for the Champions League championship, and that is our Inter Milan!"
Marino remained silent.
He knew very well in his heart that what Blanca said was true.
Naples' financial resources are really limited, and De Laurentiis raised all the investment from his own pocket.
In order to buy a Maggio, Naples has to think carefully and carefully.
But what if it’s Inter Milan?
Maybe I bought it last summer.
There is also the current team’s contract extension.
One of the important reasons why it has not been launched is lack of financial resources.
To put it simply, Naples has no money.
The current increase in the club's financial revenue cannot keep up with the improvement in the team's performance. This means that if the team renews its contract on a large scale, the financial pressure will immediately become great.
But if we don't hurry up and renew the contract, the players may be gone.
There are countless teams outside now that are eyeing Naples, eager to poach players. Even Inter Milan in front of them is also eyeing Biglia, David Luiz, Di Maria and Sanchez?
The Nerazzurri are like this, the Rossoneri are like this, and even the Giallorossi and the Old Lady are like this.
They all want to dismember Naples!
Not to mention people outside, De Laurentiis and Marino themselves never thought about selling people?
This is the tragedy of a small team!
Then why not sell it?
Because Gao Shen hasn't spoken yet.
If Gao Shen really wants to leave, Naples will definitely have a sale this summer. This is an inevitable reality for mid-to-lower teams.
Of course, with the money from selling people, the team will introduce a group of high-level players to continue to maintain the team's competitiveness in Serie A.
By that time, there is probably no hope of winning the championship, but there is still hope of staying in the top four.
This is enough for Naples.
Marino is even thinking that with this large sum of money, Naples can renovate the stadium and upgrade the training base, and the club can use this to form a virtuous cycle and even embark on a path to profitability.
You know, for a team like Naples, this is simply a God-given opportunity.
But both De Laurentiis and Marino were waiting for a word from Gao Shen.
They all still remember that two years ago, Gao Shen once told them that he would lead a strong Serie A team within three years and make a difference in the Champions League. And now Naples is qualified to compete in the Champions League.
Expressed.
The possibility of winning the championship is slim, but as long as we can reach the knockout rounds, we will earn at least 30 million euros.
This amount of money is enough to drive a team like Naples crazy! Gu Hao
They were waiting for Gao Shen to make a decision, wondering if he still remembered the ambition he had back then?
…………
…………
On the court, Naples' suppression of Inter Milan continued.
Even after the two sides made consecutive substitutions, Naples' advantage on the court did not weaken at all, but became more and more aggressive.
Until the 84th minute, when central defender David Luiz took the ball and stepped in, he planned the attack and moved to the right, passing it to Lichtsteiner. He quickly moved forward and passed the ball behind him.
Left to Biglia.
Lichtsteiner passed the ball straight to Valencia's feet.
When the Ecuadorian winger stopped the ball sideways, facing Maxwell, he suddenly pushed the ball to the baseline, passed the ball alone, relied on his own speed advantage, forced overtaking, and passed by Maxwell, chasing him.
After passing the ball, he passed the ball directly with one kick.
The ball crossed the right side of the penalty area and fell to the area behind the midpoint.
Inter Milan's two central defenders were attracted by Cavani in the forward position. David Luiz's sudden intrusion attracted the Portuguese midfielder Pele to defend him, but David Luiz jumped up high.
A header from close range gave Naples another victory.
Three to zero!
The Brazilian central defender rushed out of the stadium excitedly, ran all the way to the home team's coaching bench, knelt down towards Gao Shen, hugged the coach's thigh forcefully, and shouted excitedly.
Naples players also gathered around, as if celebrating the team's championship in advance.
Gao Shen was also quite excited.
He knew that David Luiz wanted to tell him that he had finally made up for his mistakes in the Meazza game.
Although it was the icing on the cake and its importance cannot be compared, he still scored the goal of Inter Milan and brought back a championship trophy for Naples.
Inter Milan players also surrounded Gao Shen.
But in the entire stadium, in addition to the cheers of Naples fans, there were also obvious boos.
…
"Why do the fans at the scene have such a big problem with us at Naples?"
At the VIP table, Italian President Napolitano asked De Laurentiis, who was standing next to Football Association Chairman Abate.
Both are from Naples and are very close to each other.
"Because we have slaughtered them mercilessly, tonight, the fans of Roma and Inter Milan are fighting side by side against our Naples." De Laurentiis said with pride.
Napolitano burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Well said, even if they are together, we are not afraid!"
The staff of the Presidential Palace were sitting behind them. After hearing this, they couldn't help coughing twice. They came over and whispered a few words in their ears. They were vaguely reminding the President to be more careful when speaking.
Although he was born in Naples, he is also the president of Italy. It is best not to say such words that have an obvious position.
"What's there to be afraid of? Who doesn't know that I'm from Naples?"
The eighty-three-year-old president is still full of energy and looks very courageous.
"Besides, when I went to Munich, Germany, the national team immediately won the championship; tonight in Rome, I came and Naples also won the championship. What does this mean?"
When he said this, Napolitano looked at Italian national team coach Donadoni, who was sitting on the other side.
"Roberto, come on, June 29th happens to be my eighty-third birthday, and it is also the day of the European Cup final. I will come to Vienna in person. I hope to celebrate my birthday after the final!"
Donadoni nodded cheerfully, "Don't worry, I will try my best!"
The president also laughed happily.
The whole of Italy is looking forward to the upcoming European Cup!
Having just won the World Cup, if they win the European Cup again, Italy will start a period of dynasty.
…………
…………
After David Luiz scored with a header, the suspense of this final was completely lost.
Inter Milan was suppressed by Naples throughout the game and was unable to resist the pressure and pressing from Naples.
They also don't have enough skills to pass the ball to avoid Naples' crazy stranglehold.
Therefore, throughout the game, Mancini's team failed to create much of a threat. Instead, they were more indiscriminately bombarded by Naples and looked very embarrassed.
Naples continued its previous Serie A state, especially this group of main players. After recuperating, they still maintained a very good state. However, after Inter Milan missed the league championship, their morale was greatly reduced and their confidence was seriously lacking.
In the end, Gao Shen's team defeated Inter Milan 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and won the fourth Italian Cup championship in the club's history.
At the same time, Gao Shen and his team also achieved the second double crown in Naples history.
When the referee blew the final whistle, all the Naples fans stood up and cheered for Naples.
The Naples players also celebrated crazily in the stadium. Everyone was dancing with excitement, carried away everything, and even got a little carried away, but at this moment, no one cared about it anymore.
Although Gao Shen was well prepared, the moment the whistle sounded, he was still invaded by a burst of ecstasy. His mind went blank for a while before he realized what he was doing. He hugged his assistants one by one, accepted the congratulations from everyone, and at the same time
Thank you also to the Napoli fans in the stands.
The Naples players sneaked in without knowing when, just like thieves stabbing in the back, they suddenly attacked from behind and directly lifted Gao Shen up.
Ignoring the protests from the head coach, they carried Gao Shen around the field to celebrate and then threw him high into the air.
