The teams in each league have some characteristics of their own.
For example, the training bases of Premier League teams are very poor, and they are all located in some remote villages, including the newly built training bases of Arsenal and Chelsea, which are all in very remote locations.
Not to mention Manchester United. To this day, the Red Devils' training base is still close to Manchester City. So much so that when Sun Jihai played for Manchester City, he once said that Manchester City's training base was so big that he could kick the ball directly to the opposite side.
Go to Manchester United's training ground.
Well, if you are in a bad mood in the future, you can just kick the ball and smash the windows of Manchester United's house and join in with the girls, yes!
The Serie A teams are also very interesting. Since the stadium is not their own, the club's office locations, competition locations, training locations, and even youth training bases are scattered in different areas.
For example, in Naples, Gao Shen has been coaching this team for three years and has only visited the youth training base a handful of times.
This can easily lead to a problem. The head coach of the first team is not familiar with the youth team at all, let alone promotion and cultivation.
The Bundesliga also has its own characteristics, that is, their stadiums, offices, training bases and youth camps are all directly clustered together, all in one place.
This is actually very convenient, but it may not be suitable for all teams because it requires a large land area.
For example, Bayern's training base, youth academy and office headquarters are on Sebena Street. Their home stadium used to be the Olympic Stadium and later became the Allianz Arena. It is separated from Sebena Street to the south and north by a city.
.
Schalke 04 is a typical German team.
Arriving at the Schalke Stadium, uh, no, the naming rights are now sold, and it is called the Veltins Stadium. To the north is the headquarters, training base and youth academy of Schalke 04.
Gelsenkirchen itself is not a big city, but Schalke 04 is a large building in the northern suburbs of the city.
…
Gao Shen and his team called in advance to agree on a time.
When he arrived at the Schalke 04 headquarters, the club's executive assistant Marcus Cohen went out to greet him personally.
“Welcome to Gelsenkirchen, Gao!”
"Thank you, Mr. Cohen!"
After meeting and shaking hands, Cohen immediately welcomed the three Gao Shen into the administrative office.
Today's Gao Shen is well-known and plays a decisive role in European football. He is also very young. Almost no club will offend such a rising star. Everyone treats him with courtesy.
No one can be sure when we will cooperate with Gao Shen in the future, or when we will seek Gao Shen.
In January 2006, the management of Schalke 04 underwent some reorganization. Except for the position of Chairman of the Supervisory Committee Clemens Thonis, the entire administrative department was changed. The original team leader Andres
Muller became the team's general manager, executive president Peter Peters joined the board of directors, and former vice chairman and financial management Schnusenberg became chairman.
But in March 2009, Andres Muller switched to Hoffenheim as general manager.
Therefore, the current Schalke 04 is basically dominated by Tonis, Peters and Schnussenberg.
It can be said that as long as three people agree on a big matter, there will basically be no problem.
By the way, Schalke 04 changed two head coaches last season, Rutten and Buskens, and this summer invited former Bayern Munich head coach Magath.
With the current name of Gao Shen, he personally visited Gelsenkirchen, and the three giants of Schalke 04 were also waiting in the office.
They all obviously knew that Gao Shen's trip was by no means a waste of time.
Although no definite news has been released yet, the European football circle is not large. It has been reported that Gao Shen's assistant is already working as an outpost in Manchester, and Gao Shen is basically determined to officially take over the wealthy Premier League team Manchester City.
Then this trip must have only one purpose, and that is poaching.
In Gao Shen's previous life, Schalke 04 ranked eighth in the Bundesliga in the 2008-09 season, but now, this team is ranked 10th, and its results are even worse.
Before Gao Shen came, he did a little comparison and guessed it was related to Rakitic.
In his previous life, Rakitic was now the core of Schalke 04's midfield, but now, Schalke 04's midfield is in chaos.
But despite this, Schalke 04 is still full of talents.
In the front are Kuranyin and Farfan, in the midfield are Altintop Jr. and Ze Roberto, in the defense are Rafinha, Höwedes, Westermann and other famous Bundesliga players, and the goalkeeper is Noyin.
A rising star like you.
The first reaction of Tonys and others was Rafinha.
This right back from Brazil was the best player in Schalke 04 last season, and is also the most valuable player in the team now. As we all know, Gao Shen always likes to use full backs with strong offensive capabilities.
In this regard, the three giants of Schalke 04 did not resist at all.
For them, selling people is normal.
If I can cash out the money, I can get a sum of money that can be used to strengthen the team.
…
After everyone sat down, they exchanged polite greetings.
Gao Shen was not in a hurry to get to the point. Instead, Schalke 04 and Peter Peters were the first to lose their composure and asked Gao Shen's purpose.
"To be honest, I came here today to talk to you about the transfer of Manuel Neuer."
As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the three giants of Schalke 04 were a little complicated.
how to say?
A little lucky, a little disappointed, and a little surprised...
It's complicated anyway.
It's not Rafinha.
"Sorry, Mr. Gao, Neuer is a player trained in our youth training. He is very important and is not for sale." Schnussenberg declined politely.
Not for sale?
Gao Shen doesn't believe it.
The so-called not for sale actually means that it will not be sold unless the price is high.
"It's okay to say this outside. We don't say secret words in front of people. What do you think?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.
The three people on the Schalke 04 side looked at each other, and Tonys nodded imperceptibly.
This detail was captured by Gao Shen.
Obviously, the chairman of the supervisory committee, who has worked at Schalke 04 for decades, has the most say among the Big Three.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, it's not that we don't want to sell, but..." Schnussenberg paused, thought about it awkwardly, and then said: "Actually, we have an agreement with Bayern a long time ago.
"
"I guessed it." Gao Shen smiled.
"You know?" The three of them were surprised again.
Not only them, but Brian Kidd and Lucas were also surprised.
They all live and eat with Gao Shen. When did Gao Shen know about it?
"It's not difficult to guess." Gao Shen noticed the changes in everyone's expressions.
In fact, speaking of it, there is really nothing about Noyiner now.
He is neither too old nor too young, and his performance is mixed, not very stable. He has won the Bundesliga's best goalkeeper, but his performance has also been sluggish. This is a common problem for young players, but the key is not this.
In today's German football, as the older generation of goalkeepers such as Kahn and Lehmann gradually recede, Germany's new generation of goalkeepers is led by Bayern Munich's Lensing and Bayer Leverkusen's Rene Adler.
.
Among them, Lensing plays for Bayern, and was brought out by Kahn himself. He has the highest level and the best platform; Adler plays for the pharmaceutical company Leverkusen. His performance is more stable and he has basically secured his position in the national team.
, even though he is only the second or third goalkeeper, his development momentum is also the best.
Previously, there was even news that Ferguson was looking for a successor for Van der Sar and was eyeing Adler.
Compared to Rensing and Adler, Neuer's development momentum is really not the best.
But what is surprising is that Bayern has always been very optimistic about Neuer and has no interest in Adler at all. Hoeness even made it clear that Neuer has better potential than Adler, mainly because of Neuer.
Yin Er's physical fitness is so outstanding.
Facts have also proved that in the next year, the fate of Germany's three new generation goalkeepers will undergo earth-shaking changes. Rensing will no longer have the halo of Kahn's successor, Adler will miss the World Cup due to injury, and Neuer will be eliminated before the World Cup.
Miraculous overtaking in corners, and with his outstanding performance in the World Cup, he won the championship in one fell swoop.
No matter how many years have passed, Noyin'er's experience can be called a legend!
But stuck at this time point in 2009, no one knew that such a magical story would happen in the next year.
Nowadays, Neuer is not even able to make the roster of the national team. He has only played in some insignificant warm-up matches. He has not played a minute in the World Cup qualifying matches.
This summer, I didn’t even participate in the national team training. Instead, I joined the German U21 national team and went to Sweden to compete in the U21 European Youth Championship.
Of course this can be seen as Neuer being young, but doesn’t it mean that he is at a disadvantage in the competition?
"I believe what you said, there has been an agreement with Bayern Munich for a long time, but I don't believe it will be on paper. Firstly, Bayern is still hesitant about Lensing, and they are not particularly sure about Neuer's future development.
prospect."
Bayern has always had a tradition, that is, Bayern's goalkeeper is Germany's national goalkeeper.
Should I become Bayern's goalkeeper first and then become Germany's national goalkeeper, or should I become Germany's national goalkeeper first and then become Bayern's goalkeeper?
It's hard to say.
Based on the current development trend of Neuer, Bayern is more of a wait-and-see and optimistic person. On paper, how should the terms be written? How can the reasonable rights and interests of both clubs be guaranteed?
To put it bluntly, Schalke 04 can promise Bayern one. When it comes to selling, Bayern will give priority to Bayern at the same price. That is considered good. Is it possible to sign an agreement and not sell to anyone other than Bayern?
How could anyone be so stupid?
Bayern has invested a lot of time and resources in Lensing, and they will definitely not give up all of a sudden. So the current situation is that Schalke 04 is not in a hurry to sell, and Bayern is not in a hurry to buy.
"Nowadays, no one can guarantee what will happen to Neuer next. It's like he broke a bone at the beginning of the season and was out for a long time. What if he gets injured again?"
"So, let's be direct. Now Neuer is worth 8.5 million. We at Manchester City are willing to spend 10 million euros to buy Neuer. What do you think?"
After Gao Shen finished speaking, he looked at the three giants of Schalke 04 calmly, waiting for them to bargain.
