Sometimes it is easy for fans to imagine clubs too well. However, professional football is far from being as glamorous as it appears from the outside. The management of most clubs is actually very simple and rough.
Florentino's superstar strategy is well known, but within Real Madrid, more people are full of praise for the modern management system he introduced. During the entire reform process, despite many problems, this reform has made Real Madrid
It has transformed into the most advanced club in world football management.
Many people may not realize the difference in management.
If you look back in 2021 and compare giant teams such as Manchester United, Bayern, Real Madrid and Barcelona, it will be easy to see the gap in management capabilities.
In 2006, the greatest manifestation of club management capabilities was not only in the club, but also in the training base.
Hardware facilities are actually the easiest. They are a one-time investment and basically only need maintenance in the future. But the real difference between clubs is in the software, such as the level of the coaching staff, the level of team doctors, etc.
La Liga actually does a very poor job in this regard. Real Madrid's team doctors have been criticized more than once. Ronaldo also distrusts Real Madrid's team doctors very much and often goes outside to find other doctors.
The same goes for the level of the coaching staff.
After Rosenborg dismissed get out of class, the coaching team that followed him also resigned. When Real Madrid asked Carlo to take office, Carlo directly used the original configuration of the first team, and then promoted Maquida and other assistants from the second team. This made Real Madrid
The coaching staff is weak.
The reason why Gao Shen invited Carlo to come out again was because he had a deep understanding of this.
Another one is physical training.
A team's physical fitness not only depends on summer training and winter break, but more importantly, it also comes from daily training. How to arrange the team's physical fitness throughout the season, especially different training according to different density of schedules.
Plan to ensure that the team can cope with the entire season in better physical condition, which is a great test of the ability of the physical coach.
But Real Madrid lacks such a physical coach, so that until now, the training level of Real Madrid's first team and the physical condition of the players are seriously stretched.
But everyone knows that physical fitness is the foundation for a team to stand on the court.
Gao Shen had already guessed that Carlo would not leave the mountain easily, and his most important task today was actually to learn from the experience.
He wants to hire a more professional physical trainer.
…
Carlo heard about Gao Shen's purpose and agreed with Gao Shen's idea.
Now that the team has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, it will continue to fight on two fronts. If it cannot solve the physical problem well, it will be difficult for the team to move forward.
Not to mention turning Real Madrid into an invincible team, but at least it must be able to ensure that the team can persist in two-front operations.
But these days, most of the capable physical coaches have working contracts. Of course, this is not actually a problem. Real Madrid has a lot of money. As long as they are not coaches of big teams, they can just poach them directly.
The key is that it is already March, the most intensive time of the season. When looking for a physical coach at this time, it is best to be able to get started, which requires him to be familiar with La Liga and Real Madrid.
"Sir, have you thought of a suitable candidate?" Gao Shen asked with concern.
He doesn't know many people in Spain, and Carlo is one of the people he trusts the most, and as a Spanish head coach, Carlo still has some connections in Spain, so Gao Shen would seek advice from him.
Carlo was also very interested. He immediately took out his mobile phone, looked around in the address book, and then walked to the study, not knowing what he was looking for.
After a full ten minutes, he walked out again.
"There is a guy, but I'm not sure he's what you want."
"Please tell me." Gao Shen said happily.
"He is currently working at newly promoted Cadiz. He was first known to people because he was hired by Bielsa to work for the Argentine national team in 2001 and did not leave until 2005. He has experienced Bielsa's experience successively.
, three head coaches, Pekerman and Vivas.”
After a pause, Carlo continued: "You know, this period happened to be Argentina's low period, so his experience in working for the Argentine national team was not prominent, which also led to him not being able to play in Spain after returning to Spain.
He received a lot of attention and has been working for a team like Cadiz near his hometown of Seville."
Gao Shen understands that coaching experience can actually be regarded as gold plating in the workplace.
If Bielsa's Argentina performs well, then this person will definitely become famous, but if Bielsa brings Argentina to that level, then his entire coaching staff will naturally suffer.
But Gao Shen suddenly became very interested in this person because he knew that Bielsa was crazy about football and that someone who could be valued by Bielsa was definitely capable and his philosophy should be consistent with his own.
"Who is he?" Gao Shen asked.
"Lorenzo Buenaventura."
When he first heard the name, Gao Shen was stunned. He felt it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
But soon, a person suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered it immediately.
He still remembers that when Guardiola coached Barcelona, he hired many coaches at once, resulting in the first-team coaching team reaching more than 30 people at most, which was very bloated. There were several physical coaches, Buenaventura
is one of them.
But later, Buenaventura relied on his own strength to become Guardiola's right-hand man. He followed him from Barcelona to Bayern to Manchester City. He can be described as a humerus general.
Some people say that Guardiola's tactics are inseparable from Buenaventura's physical training, especially the almost crazy Barcelona Dream Team, which runs more than ten kilometers per person, which is simply unbelievable.
Talent!
Gao Shen suddenly felt like he had found a treasure.
It turns out that this future star is still frustrated with a newly promoted polo team like Cadiz.
"Sir, do you know him?" Gao Shen asked quickly.
"I have met him once before, but I am not familiar with him. If you are interested, I can contact him through a friend. If he is also interested in coming to Real Madrid, then make an appointment and meet." Carlo suggested.
Gao Shen nodded, "Are you sure?"
"The relegation situation of Cadiz this season is not very optimistic. If it cannot be relegated, the first team coaching staff will definitely have to be reorganized. Buenaventura will probably have other ideas. If you go in your personal capacity, then you will definitely
It's hard to convince him, but if it's Real Madrid, I think it can be done."
For Gao Shen, that would be to hire a personal coaching team, which would be regarded as working for Gao Shen. This will definitely not work.
Who knows when Gao Shen will end get out of class suddenly?
But if you sign a contract with Real Madrid, it is possible. After all, this is also a rare gold-plated opportunity.
Real Madrid's current situation is indeed very bad, especially the team's training level and the players' physical fitness, but it is also true that it can provide a chance to prove themselves to those who are truly capable.
Gao Shen made a decision immediately, "Okay, you contact me and I will make a request to the club."
When hiring a physical trainer, the requirements must be reasonable and advanced, and you can be sure that they will be met.
…
Gao Shen felt a lot more relaxed as he relieved a big thing from his mind.
If Buenaventura can really be recruited, it goes without saying that Real Madrid's physical crisis will definitely be alleviated.
I'm afraid there is no one in the world who knows Buenaventura's abilities better than Gao Shen.
Mrs. Carlo prepared a sumptuous lunch, and Gao Shen enjoyed the meal very happily under the reception of Mr. and Mrs. Carlo, plus he dug up the big bull Buenaventura.
When he was almost done eating, Carlo asked him a question, which was the potential crisis for Real Madrid that both Alfredo and De La Morena were extremely worried about.
"Don't worry, sir, I know everything they said." Gao Shen said calmly.
Carlo flashed a look of surprise. He originally thought that Gao Shen would be complacent after winning consecutive games against Atletico Madrid and Arsenal. Unexpectedly, Gao Shen had already started preparing to deal with the crisis in advance.
"What are you going to do?" Carlo asked with concern.
Although he has resigned, he still cares about Real Madrid very much.
"Well, if you complete one goal, then find another one for the team." Gao Shen said in a pretentious manner.
For a team, goals are really indispensable.
Someone in China asked a very classic question: Why do children who have been very self-disciplined since childhood become self-indulgent in college?
The reason is actually quite simple, because from elementary school to high school, everyone has very clear goals.
As small as a unit test, or mid-term and final exams, then to primary school to junior high school, high school entrance examination, and finally to the college entrance examination, each test has scores and rankings. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, these are very clear goals for children.
.
But after passing the college entrance examination and entering university, my goals became blurry.
Without goals, it's easy to get lazy.
This is true for individuals, and even more so for teams.
Whether a company or a team, they all need a common goal to unite everyone.
Real Madrid have no goals now?
Gao Shen doesn't think so, but some goals are too unrealistic in the eyes of many people.
In other words, they think this is an impossible goal.
But Gao Shen feels that since even Arsenal can turn around and even miracles can happen, what else is impossible to achieve?
Carlo had some mysterious and profound meanings.
After today's in-depth discussion, Gao Shen still looks as high as before, but inside it is completely different. Whether it is technical and tactical knowledge, some ways of thinking about problems, or the style of doing things, they are all the same as before.
The familiar depth is completely different.
This made him feel very strange, but at the same time he was very happy.
He couldn't do it, but he felt that this was the way to do great things.
This also made him look forward to it. How does Gao Shen plan to deal with this potential crisis next?
Just as the two were finishing their meal and chatting, Gao Shen's cell phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed it was Butragueno.
After getting on the phone, Real Madrid's technical director told Gao Shen that the team had drafted a formal contract and wanted to negotiate with him on the specific terms and asked him if he had time to go to the Bernabeu?
Gao Shen did not expect that the efficiency of the Real Madrid office would be so high, so he immediately stopped talking and said that he would be there immediately.
He was curious, what kind of contract would Real Madrid offer him?
