Seeing Gao Shen put down the phone in his hand, Mubarak, Brian Kidd, Marwood, Carlo, Lucas and others who were all waiting for news in his room asked with concern.
The fourth position, but anyone who is a little familiar with football knows the importance of this position.
To put it bluntly, forward, he can participate in organization and passing. Later, he can become a central defender. Standing in the midfielder position, he is a barrier in front of the defense.
It can be said that such a role is not something that just anyone can do well.
More importantly, this is the Premier League.
In the Premier League, if you want to be the fourth position, it is impossible to succeed without excellent physical fitness.
Just like Busquets, Gao Shen is very doubtful, what will he become if he goes to the Premier League?
I guess every game I have to fall to the ground, cover my face, and peek between my fingers.
Thiago Motta is really a very good No. 4 player, and can even be said to be the best No. 4 player that Gao Shen can think of now. Biaya Toure, Busquets, and Xavi
·Alonso and others are more suitable.
but……
"He wants to go back to Barcelona!" Gao Shen said helplessly.
Sometimes, he was thinking that the so-called rich family background was probably reflected in this kind of thing.
Pique, Cesc Fabregas, Thiago Motta... one after another, Barcelona youth training players, no matter how well they do outside, are eagerly waiting to go back.
This is actually not a special case.
Just like Callejon and Parejo of Naples, if you go and ask them if they want to return to Real Madrid?
The answer was 100% positive.
"This is going to be troublesome." Carlo felt a headache, "Thiago Motta returns to Barcelona, what should we do now at the fourth position? Who can we find to play?"
"How about Liverpool's Javier Mascherano?" Brian Kidd asked, "This midfielder is very strong. Although he is known for his defense, his passing ability is not weak, and he also has certain organizational skills.
"
Mascherano's current worth has reached 25 million euros. If he wants to forcefully poach him, he will probably have to pay at least 40 million euros. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince Liverpool to let him go.
Moreover, having just let go of Xabi Alonso and added Biglia, now let go of Mascherano, where will Benitez go?
Therefore, the possibility of this transaction being successful is not very high.
"Mascherano is a little short, so he is at a disadvantage playing as a central defender," Carlo analyzed.
The advantage of the fourth position is that it can play as a defensive midfielder, drop back or play as a central defender. It is a very flexible position.
Even to a certain extent, the flexibility and level of defense are here.
When the two wings are pressing up, the fourth position retreats, which is equivalent to playing with three defenders.
"Nowadays, there are really very few excellent single-back midfielders in European football who also have excellent passing ability." Brian Kidd also felt very difficult. This is why Barcelona is willing to spend a lot of money to introduce Thiago.
·Mota’s reasons.
"What about Yaya Touré?" Carlo suggested.
After hearing this, Lucas laughed and said, "He is our plan."
"What do you mean?" Carlo was a little confused.
Thiago Motta is the plan, Yaya Toure is the plan, is there a plan B?
"The current situation of Yaya Toure is still relatively complicated. His situation in Barcelona is indeed very bad, especially after Thiago Motta returns. It is conceivable that his playing time will be less, and he may even be eliminated.
Forced to leave."
Gao Shen said this, after a pause, he continued: "But this Ivorian midfielder is arrogant. His playing style is not suitable for the fourth position. Instead, he is suitable for double midfielders. Of course, if he wants, he can
Playing the fourth position, so..."
Gao Shen smiled and said, "If we take the initiative to come to your door, it will be difficult for this gentleman to be obedient and obedient."
Everyone understood.
What Gao Shen means is to let Yaya Toure contact Manchester City himself.
If he wants to leave Barcelona, his agent will definitely cast a net, and there are only a few teams in Europe that can buy him and pay his salary. Who else can he choose?
"I have a better candidate, so Yaya Toure will wait and see for now." Gao Shen told Lucas.
It was the first time for Brian Kidd, Marwood and others to work with Gao Shen, and they were really surprised.
Does he have a better candidate than Yaya Toure?
Who?
But Gao Shen didn't say anything, but changed the topic to another matter.
"Contact Naples immediately and get Rakitic as soon as possible. I want this midfielder to appear in our Manchester City lineup in the new season, and he must do it quickly!"
Now throughout European football, the momentum to carve up Naples' lineup is already very clear.
There is news that Manchester United is also eyeing Rakitic and Juventus. If someone else really takes the lead again, then Gao Shen will be in vain.
What's the point of the players you have worked so hard to train, but you haven't even used them yet, and instead they have become a weapon for others to deal with you?
Mubarak, Kidd and Marwood all nodded.
"We'll make arrangements right away." Kidd also became nervous.
He is still nominally the technical director.
"What's going on with Neymar?" Gao Shen asked with concern.
Not mentioning this Brazilian genius, everyone still had no reaction. When asked, Kidd and Marwood's expressions suddenly changed.
"We first contacted Santos. As soon as the other party heard that we were interested in Neymar, they immediately gave the green light. Then we contacted Neymar's father, but guess what price he offered?" Kidd was very depressed.
Shaking his head.
Gao Shen was mentally prepared, "How much?"
"Twenty million euros, signing fee, and he also wants us to promise a lot of conditions, including his status in the locker room and our series of training plans for him, and he also wants 30% of the transfer fee for the next transfer.
"
"Is he crazy?" Lucas lost his voice directly.
Gao Shen glanced at him, complained that he couldn't hold his breath, and nodded, "It's not surprising, he has always been like this."
Kidd and others felt strange.
"You know him?"
"I don't know him, but I've heard of it." Gao Shen hurriedly covered it up.
There was no way he could say that in his previous life, when Neymar joined Barcelona, his agent father was mediating between Barcelona and Real Madrid, causing a huge commotion. In the end, Barcelona even involved the chairman in order to sign him.
Slipping down the stage.
Well, when everyone thought that he had joined Barcelona and should get his wish and concentrate on playing for this top giant, he turned around and went to Paris Saint-Germain, and the transfer fee was as high as 220 million euros, the highest in history.
, this is simply a crazy price.
Now, Ronaldo from Manchester United has transferred to Real Madrid for a transfer fee of nearly 100 million euros. Everyone thinks it is crazy.
If Gao Shen told them that in eight years, Neymar would be transferred to Ligue 1 for a sky-high price of 220 million euros, then their jaws would definitely be dropped.
Not only because of the transfer fee, but also because of Ligue 1.
In the end, Neymar made money but lost his career.
Many times, people are like this, and it is impossible for you to take advantage of all the good things.
When you choose to ask for money, you have to pay the price in other ways.
The funniest thing is that after many people have money, they start to pursue the things they gave up before.
Gao Shen doesn't know if Neymar will regret choosing Paris Saint-Germain, but he knows that from the day he made his decision, countless fans who like him have been disappointed and sad for him.
He should have had higher pursuits, but he gave up!
"It's okay, I've been prepared for it. If Neymar doesn't come, it's his loss." Gao Shen said with a relaxed smile.
He never makes only one-handed preparations, and often likes to use double insurance.
Who makes him a picky virgin man?
…
Five players, Valencia, Sanchetti, Di Maria, Biglia and Thiago Motta, left the team one after another, bringing huge transfer fees to Naples, but also causing concerns from the outside world.
Under a lot of pressure, De Laurentiis and Marino personally came forward to introduce Naples' stadium renovation plan, saying that they would invest heavily in the renovation of the Sao Paulo Stadium, which would significantly increase Naples' matchday revenue.
At the same time, Naples also officially announced that it has officially renewed its contract with Cavani.
Di Maria and Sanchez have both left. Two Tridents have left at once, and Cavani must stay.
As a result, Naples' forward line is still very strong in the new season.
With Cavani, Callejon, Pellet, Mertens, and the young Insigne, Naples' striker strength is still good.
There is no need to worry about the midfield. After Biglia and Thiago Motta left, there are still players such as Vidal, Hamsik, Nainggolan, Parejo and Pastore.
With youngster Verratti, Naples' midfield is still strong.
It was only at this time that everyone was surprised to find that Gao Shen had really left a treasure house for Naples.
After selling for 165 million euros, the team is still so strong!
Just when everyone was amazed, Gazzetta dello Sport was the first to break the news.
Manchester City technical director Brian Kidd and presidential advisor Marwood went to Naples in person to negotiate and finally succeeded in signing two players hand-picked by Gao Shen from Naples.
Rakitic and David Luiz both moved from Naples to Manchester City for a high price of 40 million euros.
These two players cost Manchester City a total of 80 million euros, which is a huge sum.
Gazzetta dello Sport also broke the news that one of the important reasons why Rakitic and David Luiz moved to Manchester City is that Gao Shen is about to take over Manchester City. Both Gao Shen and his beloved players will go to the Premier League and continue to follow their mentors.
.
After Naples sold two midfielders, their transfer fee revenue reached an astonishing 245 million euros, which is simply astonishing.
The whole of Italy, and even the whole of Europe, is shocked by the crazy sale in Naples.
What is even more amazing is that this team still retains its strength after the big sale. This is the most surprising thing.
After arriving in the UK, Gao Shen first went to Manchester secretly, visited Manchester City's Carrington training base and the City Stadium, and put forward his own ideas and renovation suggestions for many places.
Then, he took Brian Kidd and Lucas out, and the first stop was the other side of the English Channel, France.
