547 The days of the Premier League are about to change!
How could there be nothing to talk about?
As Gao Shen said, Robben is now a negative asset for Real Madrid. He has to sell him at a loss. Keeping him is a landmine.
In fact, Real Madrid has contacted many teams privately, and Robben's agent is also in contact. However, the current transfer market is quite sluggish, and several Premier League teams are not very willing to buy Robben.
Who made Flying Dutchman so easily injured?
Originally the most capable player was Manchester United, but when Robben moved to Chelsea, he escaped from Manchester United. Ferguson was still resentful about this, so he was even willing to buy Valencia at a high price, but was unwilling to get involved with Robben.
Needless to say, Liverpool and Arsenal cannot afford it.
As for Chelsea, how could Robben go back?
In Serie A, both Milan teams are calculating their budgets, especially Inter Milan. Mourinho invested so much money in the first summer of coaching, where can they find the funds to introduce Robben now?
Juventus has not yet considered bringing in Peter Pan, who has suffered a lot of injuries.
Bundesliga Bayern Munich does have this possibility, but they are still waiting and watching and are unwilling to take a stand.
Therefore, this has caused the embarrassing dilemma that no one cares about Robben now.
Real Madrid is fully aware of this.
It was rare that Gao Shen took the initiative to come to the door. Valdano and others were quite happy. After several negotiations, Gao Shen increased the transfer fee to 25 million euros. Valdano said that he would go back to discuss with Florentino and others.
It takes a while to give an answer.
Gao Shen proposed that he want to meet Robben.
The offer of 25 million euros is not an unreasonable mistake.
He remembered clearly that when Bayern signed Robben in his previous life, it was at the last moment of the transfer that they forced Real Madrid to agree.
It can be said that this is already the ultimate price for Real Madrid.
No matter how low it is, Real Madrid probably won’t want to sell it.
Sometimes, when Gao Shen thinks about it, he feels that Robben has had a miserable life, and has ended up in the predicament where no one cares about him.
Of course, if no one really wants it, it will only depreciate further, and at the same time, Robben's salary will be significantly reduced, and he will be transferred to Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Everton, Tottenham and other teams.
If this were to happen, his career would basically plummet.
…
After coming out of the Juan Casa Barbeque Restaurant, the three of them returned directly to the Bernabeu.
Florentino and others are waiting here.
After briefly describing the general situation of the meeting, he focused on Gao Shen's comments about Real Madrid and Gao Shen's desire to introduce Robben.
"Kick four two three one?" Florentino nodded, "That's an idea."
"Pellegrini is a master of offensive training. I believe he can definitely solve this problem. The real trouble lies in the midfielder. Gao Shen is right. Over the years, any team that has achieved success must have
A strong defensive midfielder, and now we only have one Xavi Alonso."
Mohamed Diarra has long been distrusted, Gago is still very immature and his progress is unsatisfactory, and Lass Diarra also has many problems. As a result, among Real Madrid's midfielders, only Xabi Alonso is the best.
stable.
"How about we talk to Liverpool?" Zidane suggested.
Butragueno shook his head, "Don't think about it. Liverpool just spent a lot of money to sign Biglia and formed a double midfielder for the Argentine national team with Mascherano. Now I came to the door and got the answer.
It’s probably just one word.”
roll!
Speaking of which, Benitez is also a head coach full of routines.
Regardless of how many games this guy claims to have a non-repetitive lineup in Liverpool, making it seem like he is a mercurial tactician, in fact, this guy is also messing around with routines.
From Valencia to Liverpool, they all have double midfielders.
Some people even say that the starting point of Benitez's tactics is the double midfielder.
Therefore, after selling Xabi Alonso, he immediately signed Biglia, still for the double midfielder.
In this case, how could he sell Mascherano?
"Let's see again." Florentino was a little disappointed.
He also didn't expect that Gao Shen's evaluation of Real Madrid would be so low.
Is this lineup only worthy of competing for the league championship?
In a team like Real Madrid, the Champions League is always more important than the league championship. This is something engraved in Real Madrid's DNA, and it has been like this since they won five consecutive Champions League titles.
Regarding Robben's transfer, Florentino closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes again and asked everyone, "What do you think?"
Valdano and others were silent.
Twenty-five million euros is Real Madrid's base price.
But it's only late June, so it's really a bit urgent to sell it at the lowest price.
But if you don’t sell now, then if Manchester City buys someone else later, will any team be willing to buy Robben?
Florentino glanced at the crowd, understood clearly in his heart, and made an immediate decision, "Notify Gao Shen tomorrow that we are selling!"
Zidane and Valdano both nodded.
"What do you think of Gao Shen's transfer signings from Manchester City this summer?" Florentino suddenly asked curiously.
He wanted to know how Gao Shen performed when he conducted such a large-scale transfer for the first time and spent more than 200 million euros? How about the players he introduced? What will happen to Manchester City in the new season?
Zidane felt Florentino's gaze, knowing that the Real Madrid president still couldn't let go of his arrogance, and sighed secretly in his heart.
"When we were in Naples, Gao Shen mentioned to me more than once that he was not very satisfied with the center forward and goalkeeper."
"Cavani is very diligent and hard-working, and his tactical role is very obvious, but his connection with the midfielder is not good enough. He can only make up for it through wide range of running and coverage. The same is true for goalkeeper Handanovic.
Gao Shen believes that goalkeepers should be more integrated into the team's entire tactical system."
"So this time, I found out that he bought Ajax's Uruguayan striker Suarez. This player Gao Shen wanted to buy as early as 2006, but it was a step too late. Groningen took the lead and Gao Shen bought it this time.
He obviously believes that he can connect the frontcourt and midfield better than Cavani."
"There is also the goalkeeper. Neuer is now the main force of the German National Youth Team. This team just beat England 4-0 in the European Youth Championship finals in Sweden and won the European Youth Championship. Our scouts are here
There is also a report on the side. I feel that there is a young goalkeeper with great potential. It depends on how Gao Shen develops and develops him."
"From this point of view, I personally feel that today's Manchester City should be an upgraded and evolved version of Naples."
As soon as Zidane finished speaking, Florentino and others were a little surprised.
"Jorge, what do you think?" Florentino asked Valdano again.
"Looking at the progress of the integration, if the integration goes smoothly, Manchester City will be a strong contender for the Premier League championship this season. I personally guess that there should be no problem in entering the semi-finals. Next season, this team is likely to win the Champions League.
On the field, a dark horse story is happening again."
Naples has been a dark horse to win the championship for three consecutive seasons, which is destined to become a legend in European football.
The possibility of Manchester City repeating the Naples legend is not high, but the ability to disrupt the situation is certainly there.
"Judging from the advanced signings, this Manchester City still has very advanced characteristics, which is worth looking forward to."
After saying that, Valdano and Zidane looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
In fact, they are not just out of business promotion between friends, but these high-level signings have made mistakes.
With their profound understanding, it would never be that simple.
Gao Shen is a person who always works steadily and accumulates experience.
The real Manchester City will probably have to wait until the start of the new season to truly show its prowess.
…
After receiving Real Madrid's reply, Gao Shen left Madrid the next day.
All subsequent work is left to Brian Kidd and Gary Cook.
This is also a sophisticated way of avoiding suspicion.
He is now the head coach in name only, but in fact he is the technical director and head coach, that is, a veritable manager of the Premier League.
But it is precisely because of this that Gao Shen needs to avoid suspicion.
When Manchester City's transfer signings were announced one after another and spread, not only the entire Premier League, the entire European football world, and even the media and fans around the world were shocked.
Including Robben's 25 million euros, Manchester City has invested a total of more than 230 million euros this summer.
Although in the transfer market, players were sold for more than 30 million euros, the net investment was also as high as 200 million euros.
This is second only to Real Madrid in the entire European football world and more than Barcelona.
What is a rich man?
This is called a rich man!
Since the Abu Dhabi consortium acquired Manchester City, it has invested more than 150 million euros in the transfer market in the first year, and now, it has invested another 200 million euros, a full 350 million euros. This is simply
The door for outrageous motherfucking is outrageous!
As a mortal enemy of Manchester City, Ferguson came out publicly and asked the Premier League to conduct a financial review of Manchester City because he believed that Manchester City's investment was abnormal.
"When more and more people discover that they can invest without considering financial income and go crazy with debt, this is obviously wrong and is not conducive to the long-term development of football."
Wenger also came forward to criticize Manchester City's behavior and believed that the Premier League should audit Manchester City's finances to see where Blue Moon got so much money.
Obviously, both these two giants feel the crisis.
Not only them, but teams such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham also expressed support, believing that Manchester City's crazy signings are not conducive to the Premier League competition.
For a time, before June was completely over, Manchester City seemed to have become a street rat in the entire Premier League, and was criticized by thousands of people.
Real Madrid and Barcelona spend a lot of money on signings. That is a matter for La Liga and has nothing to do with the Premier League.
But Manchester City is different. This team has invested huge sums of money, which obviously threatens the interests of traditional strong teams.
What's more important is that Mark Hughes, the former coach, was a loser. No one cared about him and just spent money as much as he wanted. Anyway, the tycoons in the Middle East had nothing else but oil and money.
But things are different now.
Gao Shen is here!
Things are about to change in the Premier League!
Things are about to change in Manchester!
With Manchester City's recruitment efforts and Gao Shen's past record, it is obvious that this powerful combination is aiming for the top four and the championship.
This makes all teams that aspire to the championship and the top four feel threatened, and naturally they cannot tolerate them.
It was in this tense and intense atmosphere that Manchester City officially announced in a low-key manner that Gao Shen was officially coaching Manchester City.
