In an interview with UEFA's official website, Gao Shen attributed Naples' results to the management and players, especially the players. He said that this group of Naples players still has considerable potential that can be tapped.
Many media and fans like to talk about players' talent, but in fact, this is a very false thing.
Because it cannot be quantified at all.
Just like Denilson, who once set a sky-high transfer price back then, is his talent considered good? Or is it not?
Some people may feel bad because he has never played in Europe; but some people may feel that his talent is very good, but it has not been discovered.
Look, no matter how you say this, it makes sense.
But in the European transfer market, when clubs sign players, they always consider the players' immediate ability and potential.
Needless to say about the former, the latter has a very important indicator, which is age.
The current group of players in Naples are all in their early twenties, which happens to be the strongest age in the transfer market. However, they have all shown excellent competitive strength, which makes them very popular in the transfer market.
.
Regarding the next plan, Gao Shen said that he has no specific ideas yet.
"Anyway, let's take a vacation first and have a good rest." Gao Shen was full of expectations.
In fact, he didn't want to travel anywhere.
He thought very simply, as long as he could relax at home for a while, completely relax himself, and figure out some things, that would be fine. Traveling would be very tiring.
During the interview, Gao Shen also took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the Naples management, players and fans.
The three years in this city were very special for Gao Shen, and this experience had a great impact on him.
"Including some of my ideas, some tactical concepts, and many things, I can't explain them in detail, but I want to say that I will always remember my time in Naples."
At the end of the interview, Gao Shen said that he was only 28 years old and still wanted to win a Champions League.
"I know that this is very difficult, even rare, but I still hope to work in this direction, so I am more inclined to coach a team with ambitions for the Champions League."
This also amounts to Gao Shen publicly extending an olive branch to all interested teams.
Any team that has ambitions for the Champions League is welcome to talk to me.
At the same time, Gao Shen also clarified the rumors from the outside world, saying that he had never had any contact or agreement with Real Madrid.
"I am the head coach of Naples and I will not do such a thing during my contract with Naples."
As for whether he will coach Real Madrid, Gao Shen said with a smile, "I believe there will definitely be a chance in the future."
When? This summer? Next year? The year after that?
I don't know how profound it is.
…
After the exclusive interview with UEFA, Gao Shen said goodbye to the players at Fort Volturno.
Club presidents De Laurentiis and Marino came to the training base in person to say goodbye to all the players and thank them for their contributions to Naples during the past period.
Now the two elders were laughing from ear to ear.
With Gao Shen winning the Champions League for the team, Naples will have at least over 100 million in potential revenue in the next two years.
This is the huge benefit brought by the Champions League championship.
Not to mention, for this season alone, Naples has earned at least 50 to 60 million euros in broadcast fee sharing and game bonuses from the Champions League. Adding in match day income, this will be an astronomical figure.
Preliminary estimates from the outside world suggest that this Champions League will bring Naples at least 200 million euros in revenue.
Of course, Naples' management is also generous. After winning the Triple Crown, every player, employee and staff member of the club received a generous Triple Crown bonus.
Gao Shen did not have detailed statistics on the bonus alone, but it was at least five million euros.
After achieving the Triple Crown, everyone made a lot of money and smiled happily, but when they parted, most of them were still a little reluctant to part with them.
Many people know in their hearts that even with 200 million, Naples still cannot retain everyone on the team.
There will be many of them who, after leaving today, may never come back again.
For example Thiago Motta.
"Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern, Juventus, Manchester United and Chelsea, etc. Almost all the giants in Europe are paying attention to this player. His current value is far more than 30 million euros."
In Gao Shen's head coach's office, Marino also informed Gao Shen of the latest situation.
According to the contract, Gao Shen also gets a 20% commission on player transfer fees.
In other words, if Thiago Motta can be sold for 40 million euros, then Gao Shen can get close to 8 million euros.
Every time he thought about this share, De Laurentiis felt as painful as cutting his flesh.
Who made him pretend to be smart three years ago and add such a clause to his sophisticated contract?
However, he was also numb.
After all, Napoli earns more.
"Barcelona is very interested in Sanchez, as well as Rakitic, David Luiz and Vargas, but I don't want to talk to them yet. I'll waste them first." Marino said with a cheesy smile.
"Real Madrid are interested in Rakitic, Di Maria, Vargas and Lichtsteiner."
When talking about Real Madrid, both De Laurentiis and Marino noticed the change in Gao Shen's expression and found that everything was as usual.
"Don't worry too much. I have never had any contact with Real Madrid at all. I don't even know what superstar they want to buy. Do you think it looks like he is going to coach Real Madrid?" Gao Shen said at the end,
I couldn't help but laugh.
Capello said that Real Madrid is like a scumbag. If he hooks a finger casually, the coaches will have to get in touch with him.
But Gao Shen now has enough confidence to say: Go to hell, you scumbag!
Labor and management are not lickers!
Based on Real Madrid's transfer strategy this summer, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Franck Ribery and Benzema are the four stars they are determined to acquire.
In Gao Shen's previous life, Ribery was forcibly retained by Bayern. Not only that, Bayern also bought Robben from Real Madrid at the last moment of the transfer market to form Robbery's classic combination.
Of course, this is not actually Bayern's revenge, because Robben really has no buyers this summer.
There is no doubt about the strength of the Dutch flying hero. From a high-level perspective, he also knows that Robben can still reach the peak of his life. However, standing in 2009, Robben was kicked out by Chelsea first and suffered many injuries during his time at Real Madrid.
, the performance is not amazing, and the valuation has dropped from the original 40 million euros to more than 20 million euros now. This is the best proof.
However, Robben's requirements for the team are not low, and his salary is also quite high. Even a team that is not a good player can't keep up with Robben.
The professional league is very realistic.
It is basically impossible for a toad to marry the princess.
Therefore, Real Madrid sold Robben for a summer, and after no one showed interest, he was bought by Bayern at a low price.
From this point of view, it actually confirms the saying that life is impermanent.
Who would have thought that a year later, Robben and Sneijder would gather at the Bernabeu to participate in the Champions League final?
Of course, history has changed now, and maybe this scene will never happen again.
…
Naples players are very popular now, and Gao Shen knows that too.
But he does not intend to participate in the transfer of players, nor does he want to interfere in the decision-making of De Laurentiis and Marino.
For him, as long as he has money, it's fine.
He didn't think that these two veterans would keep so many people in the team.
The best result for Naples now is to take advantage of the excitement of winning the Champions League and sell the players at a good price.
After all, Naples simply does not have the capital for sustained success.
As for player transfer fees, Gao Shen will always believe in the shrewdness of De Laurentiis and Marino.
De Laurentiis asked Gao Shen a question, that is, who can take over Naples?
Gao Shen gave three candidates.
"Allegri is coaching Cagliari this season; Antonio Conte is leading Bari to win the Serie B Champions League this season; Mazzarri is coaching Sampdoria."
Gao Shen analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of these three people. Generally speaking, they are all very good head coaches.
But the current situation in Naples is that this summer's turmoil and reorganization are inevitable, and it is impossible to put too many demands on performance. More importantly, Gao Shen's performance in the past three years has been too outstanding, and all latecomers will feel the pressure.
In this case, the club management, especially De Laurentiis, needs to have a clear understanding.
"As long as Naples can play steadily in the next few years, maintain its position as the first team in Serie A, and securely qualify for the Champions League, after a few years of accumulation, Naples will have a firm foothold!"
De Laurentiis and Marino obviously listened to Gao Shen's words.
From the beginning, they positioned Naples as a strong team in the Champions League. As for whether they can win the championship, it depends on their fate.
It's just that no one expected that Gao Shen would raise his grades so high all of a sudden that they can't let it go now.
But Gao Shen's words undoubtedly made them sober up a lot.
In fact, there is another person on the senior coaching staff, Sarri, who is also a native of Naples.
Gao Shen does not deny Sarri's ability, but to be honest, asking Sarri to pick up Naples now is equivalent to pushing him into a pit of fire. He does not have the weight to control today's Naples.
This is actually a very real problem.
Players who can become top league players are all arrogant and arrogant. If they don't have enough experience, why should they convince the players?
…
After seeing off De Laurentiis and Marino, Gao Shen settled another matter.
Who Naples will choose as head coach next is beyond Gao Shen's control. He gave professional advice and it depends on how De Laurentiis and Marino choose.
After meeting the two Napoli bosses, Gao Shen turned around and walked to the coach's office.
The players have been disbanded, but the coaching staff is still there.
This is Gao Shen's personal team and the core team coached by Gao Shen. Many things need to be explained clearly in advance.
