"This is a manuscript specially prepared for you by the Public Relations Department."
As soon as Gao Shen followed Raul to the administrative office at the Bernabeu Stadium, sports director Floro greeted him.
Floro once coached Real Madrid in 19394, but he was fired after being exposed by the media for swearing at players in the locker room. After that, he coached many teams. He once went to Japan, and the coaching was very unpleasant.
Successful, but later received the support of some people on the board of directors and became Real Madrid's sporting director.
Unlike the high-end, classy, star-studded Real Madrid in the eyes of most fans, Real Madrid in reality is actually quite chaotic, and is full of various interest disputes internally.
Take the management system as an example.
There is a general manager under the club chairman, and there is also a little-known chairman's office, which is equivalent to the chairman's private think tank. It is usually helmed by the chairman's most trusted confidant, such as Florentino's director of the chairman's office.
It was Manuel Redondo, his secretary who had been with him for decades.
The general manager is responsible for the daily operations of the club. Below are a number of different departments, including the athletics department, which has a sports director. In theory, the sports director is responsible for all athletic affairs, including the basketball department and football department.
When Florentino took office as chairman, the sports director was Valdano, a former Real Madrid hero. However, due to poor performance, Valdano resigned, and Florentino hired world-class coach Sacchi.
Serve as technical director and report directly to the chairman.
In this way, the technical director is almost at the same level as the general manager, but since he is only responsible for the football department, many competitive affairs need to be handled by one person, so Floro became the sports director.
But something went wrong soon.
Due to the team's poor performance, head coach Luxenberg and technical director Sacchi stepped down taking the blame. Vice Chairman Butragueno was appointed as technical director. He was also the head of the public relations department and did not have that much energy to worry about such a problem.
There were so many things to do, so we only focused on the first team, leaving the second team and the youth team in charge of sports director Floro.
This situation only lasted three months before Florentino announced his resignation and new chairman Martin took office.
So now Real Madrid's internal management is a mess.
The team lost 0-1 at home to Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League, and the second leg at Highbury became crucial; before that, they also failed to lose in the city derby against Atletico Madrid at the weekend, and the league results were also under great pressure.
.
It happened that at this time, the new chairman Martin fired Carlo and appointed Gao Shen, which made everyone even more anxious.
At this moment, everyone in the Real Madrid office is thinking about one thing, and that is how to resolve the pressure of external public opinion.
To put it simply, he is helping the new chairman wipe his butt.
In any case, the new chairman also represents Real Madrid's image and interests.
Therefore, no one will pay attention to Gao Shen at all.
After Floro handed the script prepared by the public relations department to Gao Shen, he just told him, "Don't be nervous when you go on stage later. Just read it according to the script. As for the question and answer session, we have also arranged it."
In his opinion, Gao Shen is just a newbie.
No one around him paid attention to Gao Shen, and no one from the public relations department even came to tell Gao Shen what he could and could not say when he got on stage.
Everyone regards him as a tool for reading manuscripts on stage!
Gao Shen knew that he was a low-key person and was not taken seriously, but he didn't take it to heart. He took the manuscript to a corner where no one was paying attention and looked at it. He found that it was all empty talk without any practical information.
For a manuscript of this caliber, before he traveled through time, he could have improvised it for half an hour without any repetition.
It is the first time to face the media as the head coach of Real Madrid. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to speak out. Just reading a draft?
joke!
Gao Shen tore up the manuscript and threw it directly into the trash can nearby.
…………
…………
This press conference attracted many media reporters, but the process was the same as Gao Shen had guessed.
At the meeting, new chairman Martin repeatedly emphasized that his choice of Gao Shen as head coach was a decision made after careful consideration. He said that he had observed Gao Shen for a long time and he believed Gao Shen had the ability and courage to lead Real Madrid out of trouble.
He emphasized that Gao Shen graduated from Loughborough University, which is the number one university in the world of sports. Gao Shen had excellent academic performance while at school and also performed well during his internship at Real Madrid. He was promoted to the first team by exception and gained experience with the team.
.
This made Gao Shen, who was sitting upright next to him, feel ashamed. He didn't know that he was so good and so valued by the leader.
Come to think of it, it's still too low-key.
This is still to be blamed on the national football team, which plays so poorly that the Chinese people seriously lack confidence in football.
All in all, Martin has collected a lot of evidence to prove to everyone that his choice of Gao Shen is serious and not a farce. The starting point is that he feels that Real Madrid needs to carry out an impulsive, drastic, and nerve-wracking game.
of reform.
"From 2003 to now, we have not won even a championship, which is unacceptable in any case. It is even possible that we will stop in the top 16 of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, which is also unsatisfactory."
"We all know that our team is sick, a very serious illness, and our team needs surgery, a major surgery."
Martin then praised Gao Shen profusely, believing that his youth and energy are exactly what Real Madrid needs most now.
After Chairman and Technical Director Butragueno, Gao Shen also spoke for the first time as Real Madrid head coach.
In fact, it is just memorizing manuscripts.
The entire speech elaborated on Gao Shen's current situation at Real Madrid and the proposed solutions. It was full of falsehoods and evasiveness, and none of them were down-to-earth.
After Gao Shen finished reciting it, the reaction of reporters on the scene was also very dull.
These people are well-informed, and they are also very pen-savvy. Do they know if they have any useful information?
After Gao Shen memorized the manuscript, he entered the free question period.
Although there are many people raising their hands below, it is obvious that there is a routine. For example, the first person named is a reporter from Real Madrid TV and one of our own, the second is a reporter from AS newspaper and one of our own, and the third is from Real Madrid.
The reporters from the Card Newspaper are still our own people, and the fourth reporter from the National Newspaper is still our own people...
The reporters asked serious questions, and the people on stage also answered them seriously.
Gao Shen was not in a hurry and patiently waited for the opportunity.
He believed that with the cunningness of media reporters, they would ask him sooner or later.
Sure enough, the subsequent rounds of questions gradually became more pointed, with one reporter even directly asking Martin what he said at the board meeting to fire more than half of the incompetent players.
But this time Martin was obviously timid, and he was careless.
Of course, the media reporters were not satisfied, so they targeted Gao Shen next to him.
Young people are easily impulsive.
First, there were two light questions in succession, such as what he thought about coaching Real Madrid. These were all expected.
But soon, trouble came.
"Gao, I am a reporter from Catalonia Daily Sports. Chairman Mr. Martin said at the board meeting that more than half of Real Madrid's players have failed to perform and should be purged from the team. As the executor of this policy,
You have received huge expectations from the chairman and management. How do you plan to implement this policy? How do you lead Real Madrid out of the current predicament?"
As soon as this question came out, the scene was in an uproar, and the media reporters in the audience were as excited as if they had been given blood.
Gao Shen is not a rookie just out of school. How could he not hear the trap in his words?
He pretended to be deep in thought, and at the same time secretly turned his head to look at the press officer. The latter secretly winked and shook his head at him, indicating that he should not answer directly. Even Butragueno smelled something wrong and thought that Gao Shen could not answer directly.
Faced with this kind of situation, I was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and wanted to resolve the dilemma first.
But at this moment, Gao Shen spoke up.
"Although I have only been at Real Madrid for seven months, I have already deeply felt the historical heritage of this club."
Gao Shen's opening was quite satisfactory, but the conversation soon changed.
"I know that the current performance of the first team is not ideal, and some players even make us doubt whether they are qualified to wear Real Madrid jerseys, and in our youth team, there is a group of very outstanding, very young and energetic, and at the same time
Players who are very loyal to the club, I know them and I hope to give them more opportunities."
Gao Shen's words surprised Martin, Butragueno and others sitting on the rostrum. This was not in the speech. What did he want to do?
Who gave him the courage to act so recklessly?
But Gao Shen continues.
"I will use facts to prove that the reason why Real Madrid is Real Madrid depends on unity and the spirit of Juanito who fights to the last breath, rather than one person or a few people in the team! I always insist
, In Real Madrid, all players are equal, no one is qualified to be special, no matter who he is!"
Gao Shen's words were so powerful that the press conference hall immediately exploded.
All media reporters read too much information from these few sentences.
Is this a declaration of war on the superstars?
Compared with the excitement of the media reporters, the Real Madrid people present, including Raul, Butragueno, and Martin, were all stunned, even a little frightened. Can you say this? Can you do it in front of so many media reporters?
Talk to you face to face?
Six years!
The superstar policy has always been Real Madrid's political correctness!
Now, the head coach of Real Madrid, even though he is only an agent, has declared war on the superstars in public. Is this an attempt to subvert?
If the media reporters just wanted to take a bullet from Gao Shen's mouth before, Gao Shen now directly dropped a missile, which made everyone dizzy.
The new chairman, Martin, was even more shocked. He turned to look at Butragueno, as if asking: What did your public relations department do? Didn't you have a good dialogue with him before?
Butragueno was also shocked. Gao Shen's sudden move caught them off guard.
After feeling the anger of the new chairman, Butragueno turned to look at Floro. What did you tell him? Didn't you say that you read it according to the script? Why did you say so much without writing?
Frollo was also confused. He did not expect that Gao Shen would be so bold and declare war on the superstar in front of so many media reporters. What was he trying to do?
Is this kid crazy?
When Martin saw the expressions of Butragueno and Frollo, he understood. Then when he looked at Gao Shen, his eyes became different.
Fortunately, this kid was like a boring gourd before, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and was waiting for this opportunity!
It's fine now. His words directly opened a hole in the sky. Everything was put on the table. He even kidnapped himself and forced himself to endorse his platform.
If nothing else, he now comes forward to say that Gao Shen's words were not his own. Who would believe it?
I have been playing with hawks all my life, and now my eyes are pecked by birds.
