596 I really didn't want to be number one in the world!
Gao Shen saw Master La for the first time. He was wearing a white shirt and a red tie with black stripes. It looked like a school uniform.
His mother's name is Melanie, a black single mother. Her main job is as a cashier at a betting shop, but she also has two part-time jobs, both as a cleaner in a nearby shopping mall.
In this way, she worked alone day and night to maintain the livelihood of the five children in her family.
Her home education for several children is quite good.
For Melanie and the eleven-year-old Master La, Gao Shen seems to be a high-altitude figure in the clouds. They can only see it on TV and newspapers and hear legends about him.
Even if they wanted to join Manchester City, they never thought that Gao Shen would come to meet them personally.
Gao Shen was very polite to them, without any discrimination or condescending attitude. On the contrary, he was very amiable, just like their friends.
The treatment offered by Manchester City this time is actually very good, but Manchester United is also interested in Rashford and is also making contact.
"I, Mr. Tocox, handed over to you a ten-year plan carefully prepared by our Manchester City. I wonder if you have read it?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.
Melanie and Rashford both nodded repeatedly, so of course they looked at it.
"I believe that you will never doubt our club's financial resources, investment in youth training, and our determination to operate in the long term. The consortium behind us does not just treat football as a business, but a beautiful business.
business card.”
"It may not be appropriate to say it, but very realistically, Ferguson is already 68 years old. No one knows how long he can continue to work, and no one knows what Manchester United will be like after he leaves. So I think you
Maybe we shouldn’t think too long-term, but should consider more realistic, immediate issues.”
Melanie understood what Gao Shen said.
The future is too far away, so think about the present first. No one knows what it will be like in the future.
"Professional football is very free now. If you have the ability in the future and feel that Manchester City can't keep you, you can definitely transfer, but the premise is that you have to have the ability, right?"
Melanie was completely convinced.
Compared with Manchester United, Manchester City's biggest advantage is that Manchester City's youth training base is just across a road from their home, less than a few hundred meters away. Rashford can walk there by himself for training after class on weekdays.
However, Manchester United's training base is far away in Carrington. With their family background, it is impossible to drive their children to Carrington for training in person. Therefore, after signing with Manchester United, how to get there is also a big problem.
They have always hoped to sign with Manchester City, but before that, Manchester City rejected Rashford on the grounds that the player was too weak. Melanie's family was disappointed for a long time.
Gao Shen's explanation for this was that at the time I had just taken over the club, everything was still in chaos, there was a lot of staff turnover, and a lot of work was not done properly, but that will not be the case in the future.
"I got to know Marcus' playing style, and his style is very suitable for us. I can assure you here that he will be our key training target. As long as he studies and plays seriously, as long as he is willing to work hard.
, I believe that he will definitely be able to step onto the Premier League stage and even become a future national team player."
Who is Gao Shen?
The whole world knows that he has been hyped countless times by the media and TV, and he is known as the number one talent in the world.
Some people even say that after being noticed by Gao Shen, his net worth immediately skyrocketed.
Now that Gao Shen has personally made such a promise, what else is there to worry about?
Sign it!
After seeing the other party's move, Gao Shen further struck while the iron was hot, saying that after signing the contract, Rashford could be provided with a paid youth training contract.
"Originally, this is only available from the age of twelve, but Mr. Gao said that we must make an exception for you." Cox also knew how to get things done, and immediately explained with a smile.
Melanie and Rashford immediately held Gao Shen's hand gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.
Gao Shen also said that he would help Melanie arrange a job. He believed that with the new job and Rashford's youth training subsidy, their family's life would soon improve.
At the same time, Gao Shen also encouraged Rashford.
"Believe me, Marcus, you have the ability to become an important member of the Premier League or even the England national team. You will change the destiny of your whole family. So, you must try your best to study and practice, do you understand?
?”
The children of the poor will become parents early.
Rashford knew very well what Gao Shen had brought to him. He stood upright despite his thin body, "I promise, sir, I will not let you down. I will definitely repay you in the future!"
"Playing well is the best reward for me." Gao Shen smiled and touched his head.
…
It was not until evening that Gao Shen left Pratt Lane.
Taking Borrell's car south, heading to his home in Cheshire.
This afternoon, he seemed to have returned to the scene in his previous life when he was working in a company.
Especially when he left, seeing the complicated expressions on Cox and others, he felt particularly deep in his heart.
how to say?
They probably all complained in their hearts that Gao Shen made too many and too high demands on them.
But this is normal.
If everyone works leisurely and relaxedly, then the team cannot have a future.
Especially in such a competitive environment like professional football.
"Today, you are a little different." Borrell said while driving.
"Very unfamiliar?" Gao Shen asked.
"Yeah." Borrell nodded, "Your attitude towards Melanie and Rashford, as well as towards Cox and others, is completely different. I guess Cox is not very happy."
"It's normal." Gao Shen smiled.
Cox has flattered himself, but it is impossible to relax his demands on him because of this.
"I don't have any interest entanglements with Melanie and Rashford for the time being. I don't need to put on a show in front of them. Who can see it? But I need Cox to work for me. I don't need him to slap me."
Flattery, or, I don’t care whether he is happy with his job or not, I just want him to fulfill my requirements.”
"I don't have that much time to spend on youth training, do you understand what I mean, Rudolf?"
Borrell nodded, he understood.
The salary offered by Manchester City is very high, and the requirements set by Gao Shen are also quite high. Cox's job is to meet Gao Shen's requirements. This is the basis for his role as youth training director at Manchester City.
Someone once asked Gao Shen a question: Why do the company's top management always seem so amiable, while the middle and lower levels are so strict, even harsh?
In fact, there are basically two reasons, one is conflict of interest, and the other is close relationship.
If Cox is not the director of youth training, but works in the news department, even if he is just an ordinary employee, as long as Gao Shen does not infringe on Gao Shen's interests, Gao Shen can treat him the same way he treats Melanie and Rashford.
But unfortunately, Cox is the director of youth training, and he happens to be in charge of senior management. Many senior tasks require him to be implemented in detail.
To put it simply, Gao Shen made a request and he implemented it.
In this case, Gao Shen naturally had to be more severe with him, because if something went wrong with Cox, it would be Gao Shen's fault.
Thinking of this, Gao Shen secretly sighed.
It’s been too long since I’ve used it, and my methods are still unfamiliar.
In the past, someone with Cox's level would have been mastered in a matter of minutes.
Borrell took advantage of Gao Shen to turn his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and glanced at him secretly, with a complicated look on his face.
As the backbone of the coaching staff, they are actually much older than Gao Shen, but everyone is controlled by Gao Shen. For example, Carlo was Gao Shen's master before, but what about now?
How can he still act like a master in front of Gao Shen?
This is actually not a bad thing.
After getting along with each other for a long time, they all know Gao Shen's personality and temperament. It is definitely a very comfortable thing to work with Gao Shen, but the prerequisite is that you must be able to keep up with him and meet his requirements.
If he can do this, he is definitely a model boss.
Not only does he give you a high salary, but he also blocks all the trouble for you. Even if you do something wrong, as long as it is within his ability, he will take the blame and deal with the consequences for you.
Moreover, he is very demanding, even very harsh, and sometimes you can't help but want to scold him, but when you achieve it, you will find that your ability has improved a lot after enduring the "ravage" of his boss.
quick.
Just like Fernando Lucas said when he joked, he was baffled and became the world's number one analyst without knowing how. He didn't do anything, he just followed the advanced requirements.
Then suddenly one day, the team's performance was good, the media reported it, and he became the number one in the world. People everywhere invited him to give lectures, and he seemed to have become an authority in this field.
But in fact, it is quite difficult for him, because before every lecture, he has to kill countless brain cells to systematically organize his work experience and achievements in the past period of time.
It sounds like Versailles, but he really doesn't want to be the number one in the world!
"Gao, are you serious about what you said in the team meeting this morning?"
"Which sentence?"
"We must continue the winning streak to the end." Borrell reminded.
"Of course!" Gao Shen blurted out very decisively. He was obviously full of confidence.
After a pause, Gao Shen saw Borrell's hesitation and smiled slightly.
"It's normal for you to have worries, but don't underestimate yourself, and don't underestimate the team. We have a lot of problems that have not been completely solved, but as long as we control the injuries, as long as we maintain good condition, we will be able to win with our
With our strength, I dare say that we are not afraid of any team in one match a week!"
Borrell heard profound ambition.
Winning streak, what a tempting goal!
"You don't really think that the team I spent more than 200 million euros to build really just wants to win the top four, right?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.
The top four in the league was the bottom line he set for Mansour and Mubarak. In his mind, he never regarded this as a goal. He always only had one goal, and that was the championship!
"Rudolph, believe it or not, from the moment I set the signing goal, I was building a championship team, not the top four. That is too unchallenging for me!" Gao Shen proudly
smiled.
Borrell was deeply impressed, but at the same time he also understood the profound ambition.
"I believe it!" the Spaniard replied firmly.
A deep and hearty laughter came from the carriage.
