To be honest, it is not that easy to meet the advanced side now.
Because he is too busy.
Liu Wenda made the call three days ago, but Gao Shen didn't take advantage of the afternoon game until tonight to take time to meet with them in the evening. The UAE side is obviously very sincere.
In other words, they did not intend to give Gao Shen a chance to refuse.
Emirates Airlines invited Gao Shen to serve as its global image ambassador, and the offer was very high, reaching five million euros per year.
What Gao Shen needs to pay is to take the time to shoot two commercials for Emirates Airlines every year, regularly attend events organized by Emirates Airlines every year, and at the same time cooperate with Emirates Airlines on the Internet for publicity and promotion.
In addition, it is very important that Gao Shen must maintain a positive image of himself.
If Emirates Airlines still needs to do something advanced, then the Emirates Tourism Authority can make more money.
Gao Shen only needs to go to the Middle East and the United Arab Emirates to shoot a tourism promotion advertisement, and then he can take away 5 million euros in one go.
The estimated shooting time is two days, and all expenses incurred throughout the process will be borne by the UAE Tourism Authority.
Gao Shen really didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to give him money these days, and it was still a huge amount of money.
The key is, all of this money is after tax.
In other words, all taxes are paid by the UAE, and Gao Shen is only responsible for taking the money and leaving.
This is also the method used by many celebrities for endorsement. After all, the tax aspect is too troublesome.
Even Gao Shen basically talks about the after-tax price when negotiating salary and annual salary.
Judging from the quotation, the UAE came prepared and did not intend to give Gao Shen the chance to refuse. It can be said that it is full of sincerity.
…
Mubarak came to Naples from the UK specially and stayed for three or four days. He certainly didn't just want to meet Gao Shen, exchange phone numbers and satisfy his so-called "Gao Shen fans".
Even if he said this, let alone it being profound, he himself would not believe it.
After talking about "serious" things, Mubarak also began to have opportunities to interrupt.
This rather tall Arab-American speaks English very well, which is said to have a lot to do with his studying in the United States.
From taking over Manchester City at the end of September to now, Mubarak has never found the right way to run Manchester City.
According to him, tens of millions of pounds were poured into it without even a sound being heard.
Not only was it not heard, Manchester City's massive spending on money also had a lot of side effects.
First of all, many teams in the Premier League, including the Premier League, are paying attention to Manchester City's finances; secondly, stars like Robinho basically regret it as soon as they come to Manchester City and have a lot of problems; Mark Hughes is also a big trouble
, obviously knowing that his abilities are limited, but there are no big-name coaches in Manchester City willing to take over.
This is not surprising either.
If a big-name coach was willing to take over Manchester City, Blue Moon would have removed Mark Hughes long ago.
Therefore, Mubarak had a doubt in his mind.
"Mr. Gao, I would like to ask why, for the same money-burning, our Manchester City and Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and other giants get completely different evaluations?" Mubarak felt very puzzled.
In fact, what he wants to know more is, how do the inner circle of the head coach view Manchester City?
Looking at European football, not many are qualified to answer this question.
At least he must be a head coach at the knockout level of the Champions League.
Or, a famous coach who is qualified to participate in the UEFA Elite Coaches Summit.
Gao Shen looked at Mubarak, thought for a while, and said, "Want to hear the truth?"
"certainly."
"I've heard many people mention Manchester City, and the reaction from the media and fans is basically the same, with mixed praise and blame. So, where do the bad comments come from?"
Mubarak was also quite curious.
"It's actually very simple. You touched someone else's cake."
After a pause, Gao Shen explained: "Just like last summer's transfer, you took action and snatched Robinho. Do you think Chelsea will feel comfortable? Especially now, Chelsea lacks wide players, and they are sure
I'm thinking, if Robinho hadn't been snatched away by Manchester City, then..."
Gao Shen innocently spread his hands.
"Also, your performance is not good, so you have to poach players at a high price. Otherwise, the players will not be willing to go. This is a normal economic behavior, but it is inevitable that those teams that are unwilling to lose players will have to pay a higher price.
To retain players, higher salaries, higher bonuses."
"Those teams that compete with you for players will also have to pay a higher price."
"You can't expect these people and these teams to have a good opinion of you. Not to mention, there are already a lot of high-level players in the transfer market, and the rich teams are all rushing in. Now Manchester City has rushed in.
Like a barbarian, he searches for stars everywhere to strengthen his own strength."
"From your standpoint and perspective, there is definitely no problem, but from your opponent's standpoint and perspective, they will be disgusted."
"Money is never good or bad, the only difference is the person who spends it."
Mubarak was very young, only thirty-one years old, but when he heard these words from Gao Shen, who was three years younger than him, he felt really enlightened.
Because he is not familiar with and understands European professional football.
"Actually, if Manchester City's results are good, the situation will be greatly improved, because professional football, to put it bluntly, is a jungle world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong. If you are strong enough and can win the championship, others will obey you. If not, beat them until they obey!
"
Gao Shen's words made Mubarak couldn't help but clap his hands vigorously.
That’s it!
It’s impossible to spend so much money and still suffer a lot of injustice, right?
Don’t they all say that all the people who spend money are uncles?
"When I first arrived in the UK, people from the City of London asked me to learn more about Chelsea. They all felt that Chelsea was a model of counterattack from the nouveau riche to a quasi-rich team, and even a rich team." Mubarak was not without envy.
said.
Nowadays, Chelsea has basically been recognized by people.
Why?
Two league titles, plus the Champions League runner-up, are enough for Chelsea to gain a foothold in the ranks of giants.
Of course, the premise is that Abramovich must devote himself persistently.
"In Abramovich's first season, Ranieri's results were not ideal. At that time, the whole world was saying that Chelsea was an upstart and Abramovich was a tycoon. They were sarcastic and sarcastic about Chelsea.
The media and fans are incredible."
"The situation that Manchester City is facing now is far worse than that of Chelsea back then, because there is already a Chelsea team ahead of them, and more importantly, Manchester City's rivals Manchester United are at their peak right now, plus Liverpool, Arsenal,
Teams such as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all very capable."
"Yes." Mubarak nodded and sighed, "We need a 'Mourinho' who belongs to Manchester City right now, who can lay a solid foundation for the team and establish the team's entire technical and tactical system."
This is something Mark Hughes cannot do no matter what.
Even, to some extent, he did worse than Ranieri at Chelsea.
Whether Chelsea fans are willing to admit it or not, Mourinho has made a huge contribution to Chelsea.
Without Mourinho's coaching years and Abramovich's style, it would have taken longer for Chelsea to establish itself as a wealthy club.
At least now, most people basically recognize Chelsea.
Of course, in terms of contribution, it must be Abramovich who spent the most money.
Mubarak also asked Gao Shen some more professional questions. For example, if Manchester City wants to establish its own set of technical tactics and youth training system, it will inevitably require poaching, but the prerequisite for poaching is that the team needs to have a
direction.
Which style do you want to learn?
"Learn from Barcelona!" Gao Shen replied without hesitation.
"Barcelona?" Mubarak was a little surprised.
Gao Shen nodded, "Barcelona's system is difficult to learn, and it cannot be learned casually, but this is a trend and direction. After the introduction of Barcelona's system, it is combined with Manchester City's own characteristics and the characteristics of British football.
According to the situation, localization is carried out to create Manchester City’s own youth training system and technical and tactical style.”
Mubarak got it.
Gao Shen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liu Wenda and others, and for the sake of such a large amount of money, he gave another suggestion.
"Stop being superstitious about superstars!"
Mubarak was obviously taken aback.
"I heard that you offered Kaka a sky-high price of nearly 100 million pounds and a huge annual salary. I don't think this is a wise choice, because you can use this money to introduce a group of high-level players."
, relatively young and powerful players with development potential.”
"You can think about it. Among the many players introduced by Chelsea back then, none of them were big names. Drogba, Essien, Robben, Terry and Lampard all became superstars at Chelsea. This is why Chelsea
One of the reasons why it is accepted by everyone.”
"On the other hand, if you look at the big-name superstars Chelsea introduced, Shevchenko, as well as the midfielders Ballack and Deco, it cannot be said that they are not capable, but it is obviously not cost-effective and even a huge loss."
"Today's football is all about teamwork. Instead of spending so much money on superstars, it would be better to use the money on superstars to introduce several high-level players and then find a high-level head coach to integrate them."
Taking shape and cultivating your own superstars is the path to sustainable development."
Gao Shen believes that Mark Hughes has become the biggest problem in the Manchester City team.
Whether it is at the technical and tactical level, or in terms of personal influence and charisma, he is his biggest shortcoming.
If nothing else, how does Mark Hughes manage Robinho?
The current general trend in the Premier League is to imitate continental Europe.
From the technical director to the head coach, to the overall technical and tactical style, they are all learning from the European continent.
Because Premier League teams have also begun to find that their management system is too extensive and their technical and tactical style is too rough.
Manchester United started after Ferguson won the Champions League in 1999, Arsenal hired Wenger, Liverpool went through Houllier and Benitez successively, and Chelsea has always followed the Italian route, and later chose Mourinho.
Rinho and Scolari.
There are successes and failures in coaching performance, but the trend in the entire Premier League is already very obvious.
The advanced technical and tactical concepts brought by foreign coaches, coupled with the influx of capital, and the huge benefits brought by the global promotion of the Premier League, have made the Premier League become the most competitive and richest technical and tactical competition in the world.
field.
If Manchester City wants to succeed, they have to keep up with this trend.
