When a person has no money, he must live frugally.
If a club has no money, it still has to live frugally.
The principle is the same, which is to pay attention to cost-effectiveness and budget carefully.
But Moratti doesn't.
Inter Milan has many high-paid players, but the team's financial resources cannot keep up, and its competitive strength cannot keep up. As a result, Inter Milan is now in a very embarrassing situation.
Let’s say it’s a high-input, high-output model, but it’s running out of money.
Let’s say it is a low- to medium-risk cost-effective way to play, but it seriously lacks cost-effectiveness.
The simplest example, should Ibrahimovic be sold?
A group of veterans are redundant in the team. Can they be cleared?
You are so poor yourself, why don't you hurry up and reduce expenditure?
Moratti's statement, at best, is emotional, but at worst, it means saving face and suffering.
The heart is higher than the sky, and life is thinner than paper.
The real value for money has to be like Naples.
If nothing else, even if you don't take into account the sales revenue in the past two years, Naples is the only profitable team in Serie A.
Yes, Napoli is profitable!
Why?
It’s very simple, just sell it!
When buying, be cost-effective, and when selling, try to raise the price as much as possible. Players' salaries are not high and financial pressure is not great, so profits will naturally come from it.
What? Champion?
Come on, you still want to win the championship with cost-effective gameplay?
It depends on fate!
With luck, the players are in form, their results are good, and they have a chance to win the league championship and the Champions League; but most of the time it is a low-risk game, continue to buy low and sell high, and develop insignificantly.
Of course, you can also learn from Juventus, and after accumulating a certain amount of wealth, just want to move forward.
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.
But the prerequisite is to accumulate enough wealth to become a monk.
Juventus has reached the Champions League finals twice in three years, but failed to win the championship. However, it has also accumulated considerable strength and capital, and now it is ambitious to break into the first group.
But what about Inter Milan?
Now there is not even a complete set of commercial development, the club is losing 70 to 80 million euros every year, and Moratti has lost the financial support of his family. How can this game be played?
…
Although Gao Shen said it very euphemistically, little Moratti understood what Gao Shen meant.
This game can no longer be played.
If Inter Milan is serious this summer, cleans and reorganizes, streamlines the team lineup, and adopts a cost-effective approach, I believe that Inter Milan can make a comeback soon after experiencing a short period of pain.
But now, as the long-term pain continues, Inter Milan cannot avoid it.
Gao Shen's words hit the nail on the head, and Angelo Moratti was helpless when he heard it.
After all, he came to Gao Shen because he had no other choice.
With Gao Shen's current status, it is basically impossible to take over a mess like Inter Milan, and Inter Milan cannot afford Gao Shen's astonishing annual salary.
According to Gao Shen's suggestion, Inter Milan still has to seize the time and start cleaning and reorganizing.
"If you are still so hesitant and indecisive, within two years, you may not even think about the Champions League!"
"Is the situation really that bad?" Moratti was shocked.
He wondered if this was because he was so profound that he could never stop talking without surprising people.
"You can do some calculations. Based on Italy's current performance in the European competition, the Bundesliga is chasing so fiercely. If you are not careful, you may be overtaken by the Bundesliga at any time. By that time, there will only be three Serie A Champions League qualifications left."
"Now, AC Milan and Naples are performing well. Juventus has just reorganized its management. Andre Agnelli is back in charge of the Bianconeri. Next, they will increase their investment. If Juventus makes a comeback, or Roma
Rising again, do you think Inter Milan can keep the top three?"
Little Moratti was speechless.
The Champions League places in major European leagues are allocated based on European war points.
Only the top three leagues with points have four places, and the fourth league only has three.
If Serie A is really overtaken by the Bundesliga, then Serie A will have no choice but to give up one European spot to the Bundesliga.
When that time comes, Inter Milan's situation will be even worse than it is now.
"There is not much time left for you, come on!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen picked up the white porcelain coffee cup and drank the black coffee in it. It was so painful that he couldn't help but frown, but he still apologized to Moratti and turned around to leave.
Little Moratti was left alone there, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
Gao Shen actually still has feelings for Inter Milan.
Of course, his favorite is Real Madrid, but in fact he also likes Inter Milan, AC Milan, Bayern, Manchester United...
Anyway, he likes them all.
Because what he likes is football.
If Inter Milan were not in Serie A, but in the Premier League, he would really consider cooperating with the Moratti family.
For example, you can invest as a consultant and invest a sum of money to hold shares in Inter Milan.
He believed that Moratti would be very interested.
But Inter Milan is in Serie A.
Serie A has too many restrictions and is simply not something advanced players can afford.
In the current situation of Inter Milan, 100 million euros is only enough to cover its losses for one year. What kind of trouble can it cause?
Moreover, the decline of Serie A is already doomed.
Once Serie A's Champions League spots are cut, it may not be easy to get them back in the future.
In fact, many fans may not have noticed a very interesting phenomenon.
In the past, present and future, La Liga is a unique team. With Real Madrid and Barcelona, plus the following teams such as Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, they have made a lot of money with their outstanding performance in the Champions League and Europa League.
European war points.
The Bundesliga will also make a massive counterattack in the next few years, first against Serie A, and then against the Premier League.
Gao Shen vaguely remembers that around 2016, the Bundesliga ranked second in European competition points.
The Premier League is ranked third, but it is very close to Serie A, which is fourth.
Because the European War points only count the results of the past five years, and in the years before 16 years ago, with the rise of Juventus, Naples and other teams, Serie A still performed well in the European War, and it was vaguely possible to catch up with the Premier League.
trend.
But soon, the Premier League emerged strongly.
Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and other teams are all vying to play at a high level in the Champions League.
If UEFA's European War points are regarded as a war, it is also a very exciting history.
Within the league, there is competition between teams, but in the European arena, there is also fierce competition between leagues.
After all, a Champions League spot is still very important.
…
Manchester City defeated Inter Milan 3-1 away from home.
At almost the same time, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Schalke 04 at home.
Raul returned to the Bernabeu for the first time as an opponent and scored against his old partner Casillas.
The former captain of Real Madrid did not celebrate after scoring, but all the Bernabeu fans gave him warm applause.
As a result, the situation in the group became very confusing.
At present, Manchester City has won three consecutive games and is the only team to show off.
After that, Real Madrid got four points, Schalke got two points and Inter Milan got only one point.
Each of the three teams has a chance to grab second place in the group.
Manchester City's first place in the group seems to be stable, but they still cannot be careless.
No one knows what kind of competitiveness the next three teams will unleash once they work hard.
However, Gao Shen couldn't care less about these things for the time being.
After returning to Manchester from Milan, Gao Shen led the entire team to intensively prepare for the ninth round of the Premier League.
This time the opponent is Gunners Arsenal!
Wenger's team's performance has improved a lot in recent times, especially when they reversed Birmingham at home.
On the one hand, Arsenal's problems still exist and are quite serious, otherwise why bother to reverse them?
But on the other hand, the Gunners' progress is also obvious to all.
According to Gao Shen, there is no reason for Arsenal to rise, whether as an opponent or a potential competitor in the league, so the best way is to kill the Gunners at home and let Wenger's team sink again.
There is no way, the professional league is so cruel!
…
As the new season progresses, especially after returning from Milan, Gao Shen clearly feels that the competition within the team is gradually heating up.
Although he is in control, the locker room is still peaceful, but every player is competing with each other.
There are only eleven positions on the court. Excluding Neuer, who is in a stable position, there are only ten positions, but each position has at least two strong competitors.
Just like the left winger, Gareth Bale shone against Inter Milan, will there be no pressure on Hazard, Robinho and Sturridge?
Robin van Persie is scoring a lot of goals in the league, Suarez is performing well in the Champions League, and the two have no intention of competing with each other?
The same is true for the right wing. Robben's position is relatively secure, but there may not be no competitors.
There is also competition between Yaya Toure and Xavi Martinez, or Rakitic and others.
This is actually Gao Shen's intention.
As big as a country or as small as a team, there needs to be competition.
Only competition can make progress.
Today's Manchester City, whether on the training ground or in the game, every player is trained to scream. They are all ambitious, like wolves and tigers, full of hunger, and no one is willing to face opportunities.
Poor performance.
Gao Shen likes the current atmosphere of the team very much because everyone will try their best every time they play.
It's like going back to when he was managing a team in his previous life. Every member worked hard and worked overtime. The tasks he assigned were completed without compromise or even exceeded.
As the team's head coach, what Gao Shen needs to do now is to maintain the team's atmosphere and keep the competition in the locker room within a certain intensity range, so as not to become too tense and intense.
Once the line is crossed, it is easy to cause disputes and conflicts, which can lead to internal disharmony in the locker room.
As for this scale, it needs to be controlled by the head coach Gao Shen.
In this regard, whether it is in his previous life or now, whether he is in Real Madrid, Naples, or now Manchester City, Gao Shen is very capable.
All that's left is to see how the players defeat Arsenal on the pitch!
After some time, Gao Shen also began to think about another major life event.
