Like all award ceremonies, the Serie A Oscars are not just about awarding awards, but also a rare gathering of Italian football.
The scene brought together elders from all fields of Italian football, such as Inter Milan President Moratti, senior executives of the Italian Football Association and the most influential people in Italian football, as well as players, coaches and referees, as well as some from Europe.
Representatives of officials from Fédération Internationale de Football Association and FIFA.
Naples chairman De Laurentiis has always loved this kind of occasion, so he couldn't miss it. He made a special trip from the south with general manager Marino.
Despite his usually loud mouth, which seems to offend people easily, De Laurentiis is actually quite popular in the football world.
In Sacchi's words, "It's normal. Now the top three in the north are all staring at you, Naples."
Gao Shen smiled bitterly.
This is the tragedy of small teams.
The three northern powers are rich and powerful, and they want to poach Naples. It is difficult for Naples to refuse.
They are probably waiting for Gao Shen to leave the team now.
The whole world knows that this Naples team was built by Gao Shen. As long as he doesn't let go of his words, no one can buy his players for a day, unless De Laurentiis and Marino want to carry them on their backs.
To force away the high-level infamy.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Naples' current finances are actually very dangerous.
Wear a hat as big as your head is.
Not to mention Naples, even teams like Roma and Lazio still can't keep their players.
After all these years, who is left in Rome?
Totti and De Rossi, are they still there?
Both players still have deep feelings for Roma and do not want to leave. Otherwise, Roma will have to sell.
The best way for Naples to operate is to train players, kick them out, and then sell them to the top three northern powers or foreign giants at a high price.
As for the forced retention, let’s not talk about whether the players are happy or not. Does Naples have that kind of financial resources?
It's fine if they produce results, but if they don't, Naples will go bankrupt.
It's like Naples has such a huge lineup now and their annual salary is rising steadily. If this season fails to qualify for next season's Champions League, what will Naples do?
With a loss of tens of millions of euros, De Laurentiis might be tempted to commit murder.
Therefore, the whole of Italy and even the whole of Europe are waiting, waiting for Gao Shen to leave, waiting for Naples to fall.
Every time I think of this, Gao Shen feels really sad.
But if you think about it more deeply, what does he have to be sad about?
Wenger, who is as strong as Arsenal, still sells his captain every year?
Manchester United, which is like Ferguson, still can't keep Cristiano Ronaldo?
If one person is miserable, it is really miserable. If everyone is miserable together, it is not miserable.
Besides, if you really want to sell someone, Gao Shen will still get 20% of the profit.
With the current value of this group of players in Naples, Gao Shen can get an astronomical amount from this share.
With the personalities of De Laurentiis and Marino, Gao Shen doesn't have to worry about them selling players cheaply.
These two guys are more vampires than vampires. I want to take advantage of them. Dream on!
No, as soon as Gao Shen and Saki separated, Marino came up to them.
…
"Do you know? Blanca from Inter Milan asked me something just now."
After hearing this, Gao Shen replied: "Are they targeting our players?"
"That's right." Marino smiled and nodded, "Guess who it is?"
"Who?" Gao Shen was too lazy to guess.
"Three, Bonucci, Vargas and Thiago Motta."
Gao Shen was a little surprised, "Are they rich?"
"There are still a few days before the end of the winter break transfer. They want to operate Thiago Motta and have offered a price of 20 million euros. I directly replied to him, are you going to send him away?" After finishing speaking,
, Marino laughed.
Gao Shen was also happy. Such an offer was indeed not sincere.
Although Thiago Motta came to Naples at a low price, he can't help but he is performing well now. Moreover, during his time in Naples, under the careful care of Buenaventura and Pintus, he had no injuries and performed very well.
outstanding.
There are quite a few people eyeing this No. 4 player now.
Let's put it this way, almost all teams that want to play 433 will want to introduce him.
Why?
Because in today's world football, the fourth position is extremely scarce, and Thiago Motta plays very well at the fourth position, and his ability is also very comprehensive. Even Cruyinf believes that Barcelona should buy Thiago back.
Motta, replacing Yaya Toure.
The Ivorian midfielder has very strong personal abilities, but he is really not suitable at the fourth position.
Thiago Motta returns to Barcelona to compete with Busquets. This is called double insurance and is standard for wealthy clubs.
And looking at the current European football world, who else has such an outstanding fourth-position player?
Cesc Fabregas?
Come on, he's a raw 4, can he play center back?
If nothing else, Thiago Motta is 1.87 meters tall and is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder and central defender. Can Fabregas do it?
From the beginning to the end, Fabregas is not in the fourth position, so he cannot play as a single defensive midfielder.
So now, not only Inter Milan wants Thiago Motta, Real Madrid wants him, Barcelona wants him, and all teams that intend to try the 433 will be interested in him.
Is such a player worth only 20 million euros?
Gao Shen basically didn't participate in these matters of the team, but since Marino said it, Gao Shen didn't mind expressing his opinion, so he took Marino to a remote place.
"Pieter Paolo, in this season, the most important thing is to maintain stability. As you can see, the team is currently fighting on three fronts. If Blanca wants to poach people at this time, he may not have the idea of disrupting our military morale." Gao Shen solemnly said
He reminded him of the matter.
Marino nodded, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"This season I want to lead the team to achieve a wave of results. This will be good for me personally, for the players, for the club, and even for you. And even if our attack fails, it will not be bad for the team, no.
?"
"Don't worry, Gao, Mr. De and I both regard these things as jokes. We are indeed under great financial pressure now, but we have absolutely no idea of selling people during the winter break. Since we promised to accompany you in this bet, we will not
Get cold feet." Marino also assured solemnly.
Gao Shen patted his arm and nodded heavily.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Naples wants to achieve great results in the second half, but the financial pressure is indeed great. The two are not in conflict, and even, for small teams, this is a normal phenomenon.
We have to do a big job, and we also need to have sufficient finances. Come on, even the rich teams may not be able to do it, okay?
Unless it's the wealthy ones.
"I won't care about everything after this season, but you must cooperate with me before the end of the season."
Marino nodded, "I understand, I will convey your message to Mr. De."
…
In fact, Gao Shen already knew the results of most of the awards when he walked into the Chengnan Concert Hall.
Part of it is guessing, and part of it is news from the circle of friends.
Today's Gao Shen is also very popular in Italian football.
If nothing else, it is normal for the Italian Football Federation to know a few powerful people.
The final result didn't surprise him either.
The best goalkeeper was awarded to Buffon of Juventus. At this stage, no active goalkeeper in the world can rival Buffon.
Petr Cech, who originally had the best chance to challenge Buffon, was shot in the head. Handanovic and Cesar were somewhat inexperienced in front of Buffon, and their performance was not as stable as Buffon's.
This was long expected.
Defender of the Year award went to Bonucci of Napoli.
There will definitely be some controversy.
It's not that Bonucci performed poorly, nor did Napoli perform poorly. On the contrary, Napoli's defense was the best in Serie A last season and even in European football, but Bonucci's performance was a bit inadequate.
As Gao Shen said before, he prefers David Luiz.
The Brazilian player has really made rapid progress and become much more stable during his three seasons in Italy.
In Gao Shen's previous life, David Luiz went to the Portuguese Super League, so he went from wave to wave. But now, he has come to Serie A. The style of the league will play a great role in shaping the growth of players. Therefore, today's big players
Overall, David Lewis is actually stronger and more stable than Gao Shen in his previous life.
It’s not too surprising that the Rookie of the Year award was given to Hamsik, because among everyone, Hamsik performed the best and had the most impressive statistics. No matter how he compares, he is the best.
Unless Sanchez, Di Maria and others are also included, wouldn't Naples dominate the list?
The best local player is Del Piero, and the best foreign player is Ibrahimovic. The best player is produced between the best local player and the best foreign player, and it was also given to Ibrahimovic.
This is not surprising.
Cavani performed very well and was the top scorer and champion, but he rose too quickly and has not yet been able to challenge Ibrahimovic's status in Serie A and European football.
But in this kind of selection, background is very important.
FIFA's World Player of the Year often makes news like this, as does the Ballon d'Or, and the Serie A Oscars are no exception.
But if Cavani performs well again this season, he will have a chance to win the award next year.
The best coach of the year is actually the least suspense.
AC Milan's Carlo Ancelotti and Fiorentina's Prandelli, what are they trying to do to compete with Naples' masters?
In terms of results, Napoli is the double champion; in terms of performance, Napoli has set off a trend in Serie A and even European football; in terms of popularity and influence, Gao Shen is now catching up with Europe's top coaches.
Gao Shen's only weak link is his qualifications, he is too young.
But in the face of solid results and performance, Gao Shen finally won the Golden Seat Award, which Mancini dreamed of and was not even qualified to be shortlisted for.
Gao Shen went on stage to receive the award amid warm applause from the audience.
He said that he wanted to share this award with everyone in Naples, because it was everyone's joint efforts that allowed him to win this award.
At the same time, he also thanked the coaching staff, the players, the club management, and the fans.
"I would like to say that receiving this award is a huge encouragement to me."
"My players and I will continue to work hard and perform better in Serie A, Coppa Italia and the Champions League!"
His profound self-confidence was conveyed to everyone present through his speech.
