After eating the barbecue happily, the two of them patted their butts and left with satisfaction.
Men have this kind of virtue.
Florentino sat in a straight position, with his head raised and the back of his head resting on the soft backrest of the seat. He closed his eyes, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and kept moving his two thumbs back and forth.
Fiddled with.
He is thinking about something.
"Does he have any concerns?" Valdano couldn't help but asked aloud.
Just now Florentino was obviously giving him a chance to test his thoughts, but Gao Shen said nothing.
Even the slightest thought is revealed.
Is he really not interested in taking charge of Real Madrid again?
Not necessarily!
Listen to his pre-match press conference in Naples yesterday. He said that Real Madrid will always be special in his heart.
What an obvious signal this is.
How many Real Madrid fans were full of expectations after hearing this.
Florentino didn't even open his eyes, he laughed and said: "He is worried about me."
"You?" Neither Valdano nor Redondo could understand.
"Why did he reject Juventus and go to Naples?" Florentino asked rhetorically without answering.
Everyone who is familiar with Gao Shen knows that this is because Juventus has a sports director Secco, who has no intention of delegating power to him on transfers and the team's competitive affairs, so Gao Shen went to Naples in anger.
If he wants to take charge of Real Madrid, he will definitely have to consider transfer and sporting matters.
Can Florentino give it?
It can be said that the more domineering and ambitious Florentino appears, the greater the worries in Gao Shen's heart.
Valdano understood.
Gao Shen is no longer the Gao Shen he used to be. Today, he is the most popular head coach in European football and even world football, and he has just turned 28 years old.
What is this concept?
If we say that a head coach's normal coaching career generally starts at the age of forty, Gao Shen has a full fifteen years longer than others, and he was at the peak of his career when he debuted, becoming the youngest champion coach in the history of European football.
He is a person destined to be written into the history of European football and even world football.
More importantly, he is now famous, rich, and well-established. Why does he have to come to Real Madrid to stir up this muddy water?
In other words, what is Real Madrid worth risking?
He left Real Madrid only after winning a double.
From now on, even if he no longer coaches Real Madrid, as long as he continues to coach in the four major leagues and as long as his results are not too bad, he will always be missed by Real Madrid fans.
But when he comes back, this beautiful imagination may be shattered.
More importantly, Gao Shen has no confidence.
What if Florentino continues to give him a large number of players and a group of big men at random like before? What should he do?
No one else knew what the Galaxy Battleship was about back then, but Gao Shen knew it better than anyone else.
The question is, is Florentino willing to give Gao Shen such power?
At least from now on, he doesn't want to.
Because he is planning a comeback, he wants to buy all the leading stars of the four major leagues overnight and reorganize a super powerful galactic battleship in a very short period of time.
He cannot give away this power.
In other words, this is the main reason why Florentino is in charge of Real Madrid. How could he allow high-level decentralization?
"He is such a smart man. Sometimes I even doubt that he is not like a head coach, but like a core executive in my company. He makes detours with me all day long and is very cunning." Florentino sighed. Tone, smile.
It can be seen that he really appreciates Gao Shen.
This has been the case since Gao Shen coached Real Madrid to win the double crown, and it is even more so now.
But neither seems likely to compromise.
At least in the short term, there is no possibility of compromise.

"Why didn't you follow Florentino's words just now?"
In the car returning to the hotel and meeting the team, Zidane asked Gao Shen strangely.
He was obviously very confused.
Based on the situation just now, everyone present could see that Florentino was actually giving Gao Shen a chance to express his ideas, and as long as both parties were of the same mind, Gao Shen would naturally enter Florentino After Florentino returned to Real Madrid, Gao Shen naturally became the head coach.
This is obvious.
Valdano is the future technical director, Manuel Redondo is expected to still serve on the board of directors, plus Vice Chairman Tapias and others, they will also come back with Florentino.
This is Florentino's team, all they need is a head coach.
Gao Shen turned his head and looked at Zidane. He suddenly realized that Zidane was still a bit tender now.
Especially when it comes to things like how the club is run.
"Do you think I lack opportunities to coach now?" Gao Shen asked without answering.
Zidane shook his head, "There is definitely no shortage."
"I said that I will leave Naples after this season. The news has not been released yet, but you know, if the news gets out, how many teams will contact me? Will I be afraid of losing my job?"
At the beginning, it will definitely not be too much.
Because with his current high status and influence, when he leaves Naples, he will basically go to a wealthy team.
Those teams that are not wealthy teams will be very self-aware and wait.
If Gao Shen hasn't contacted the team next summer, or by the end of 2009, the middle and upper reaches of the four major leagues will take the opportunity to come and find out. If there is no team yet, Gao Shen will have to coach until the summer of 2010. A mid-to-lower team.
Of course, it is also possible that a wealthy team changes coaches and Gao Shen takes the opportunity to take over. This is another matter.
But this is generally the process.
"When I was coaching Real Madrid, Valdano, Sacchi, Ancelotti and other seniors all warned me one thing again and again. To coach a team, you must get the maximum support from the management and you must become this team. The boss of the team."
"If there can only be one core in the team I coach, it is me, and it cannot be anyone else."
Zidane was stunned for a while, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
In fact, when Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, the team's performance improved. It seemed that he suppressed the Brazilian gang headed by Ronaldo and Carlos, but another reason was that the team had a backbone.
It wasn't very obvious at the time, but gradually, as the game progressed, especially after the Brazilian players came back, everyone basically understood that the backbone of Real Madrid is Gao Shen.
It was his strategizing and planning that united the Real Madrid locker room.
When we arrived in Naples, this situation became even more obvious.
This is a team that is completely advanced.
Think about the game between Gao Shen and Florentino just now. Is this a game of power?
Yes, but also no.
Behind this, Gao Shen is actually fighting for the right to speak in the locker room. He wants to become the undisputed boss of Real Madrid.
In other words, even if Florentino really brings in Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, Kaka from AC Milan, or even Messi from Barcelona, he can sell them without hesitation with just a few words.
Lose!
He wants to be Real Madrid's Ferguson!
But Florentino couldn't give him such power, at least not now.
Gao Shen didn't care at all, and he didn't feel regret at all because he missed the opportunity to coach the second phase of Galaxy Battleship. Instead, he felt lucky because he always believed in one sentence.
You wouldn’t cherish it if you delivered it to your door!
So, he was waiting until Florentino came to ask for his help.
As for whether he will, it depends not only on what Real Madrid will do next, but also on how far Gao Shen will go next.
If Gao Shen was just one of many famous marshals and had no special value, then Florentino would naturally not be able to give him special treatment. But if Gao Shen was not an ordinary marshal, but...
That’s not necessarily the case!
The essence can be expressed in one sentence: To make iron, you need to be tough!
…………
…………
When Gao Shen was on his way back to the hotel, not far away, in the office of the Real Madrid chairman at the Bernabeu, Calderon and Mijatovic got the news.
Only the news from Florentino could make the two Real Madrid bosses who had fallen out temporarily put aside their grudges and speak out in unison, because they also share a community of interests.
"Are you sure Florentino is having dinner with Gao Shen?" Mijatovich asked anxiously.
"It's absolutely true." Calderon nodded with certainty, "Gao Shen went with Zidane, and Valdano and Redondo were also present."
Mijatovich snorted twice, of course he knew what was going on with these people getting together.
Valdano and Redondo are now Perez's right-hand men, and Perez is plotting to return to Real Madrid.
"So, he wants to hire Gao Shen to return to Real Madrid to coach." Mijatovic guessed.
Calderon nodded, he thought so too.
In fact, they had contacted Gao Shen as early as 2006, but Gao Shen did not want to stay at Real Madrid at that time.
In 2007, when Capello was out of class, they contacted Gao Shen, but Gao Shen always kept a distance from them.
Therefore, they are all very sure that Gao Shen has always been Florentino's man.
In the past few years, as Gao Shen's reputation as a coach in Serie A has risen and he has gradually become a famous coach in Europe, Real Madrid fans have missed him more and more strongly, and their calls to bring him back have become louder and louder.
Who puts Real Madrid in a bad situation now?
If Florentino really gets the support of Gao Shen, it is very likely that he will return to the chairmanship of Real Madrid this summer.
"What do you want to do?" Mijatovic asked Calderon.
Calderon is obviously better at coming up with ideas.
"Tonight's battle is not only the first match of the Champions League, not only the three points in the group stage, but also the first contest between us and Florentino. We must not lose!" Calderon said loudly.
said.
Mijatovic understood, "As long as he can defeat Gao Shen, or even severely injure Gao Shen, his influence on Real Madrid will be greatly weakened, and there will be nothing to fear."
This move is really cruel!
"Understood, I'm going to find Schuster now. We can't let Gao Shen escape unscathed tonight no matter what!"
Calderon nodded and watched Mijatovic leave, the worried look on his face not diminishing at all.
