Chapter 868 I can bring ten years of glory to Real Madrid!
Chapter 868 I can bring ten years of glory to Real Madrid!
Gao Shen really didn't expect that Real Madrid's move would be so grand.
Chairman Florentino personally led the team, accompanied by two vice-chairmen, the general manager, technical director and chairman's advisor. This was not like a coaching delegation, it was simply the highest-level visiting delegation.
Real Madrid's group of more than a dozen people is particularly eye-catching, and naturally they cannot escape the eyes of the all-pervasive British paparazzi, who have been staring at Real Madrid and Gao Shen.
Of course, neither party intends to hide anything.
Now that Gao Shen has "peacefully separated" from Manchester City and contacted Real Madrid, it is only natural.
Even after Manchester City issued an emotional letter of thanks, Manchester City fans did a lot of things to express their gratitude and reluctance to Gao Shen, including playing in the Manchester Evening News for two consecutive days.
advertise.
Gao Shen, accompanied by Su Qing, booked a high-end restaurant in Alderley Edge to entertain Florentino and others.
The atmosphere was maintained very well throughout the whole meeting and dining process.
Everyone present was very good friends with Gao Shen, and Gao Shen and his wife treated them as friends.
So, when we met, we were very close to each other.
After finishing the meal, we went directly to the manor of Gao Shen's family.
The entire conversation also got down to business at this time.
…
Real Madrid attaches great importance to inviting Gao Shen to coach this time, which can be seen from the salary contract prepared.
The annual salary after tax is 20 million euros, which is the highest annual salary in world football today.
The highest before was Gao Shen and Mourinho, the latter's annual after-tax salary at Real Madrid was also 10 million euros, but now, Real Madrid's offer is twice as much as before.
In addition, bonuses and other benefits are also available, and they are not shabby at all.
One thing that surprised Gao Shen was that Real Madrid didn't want the image rights.
You know, Gao Shen's current annual commercial sponsorship income is higher than his annual salary. Su Qing had said before that she had to have a serious discussion on the image rights and not give in easily.
Unexpectedly, Real Madrid simply refused.
This is of course not because Real Madrid cannot see the benefits here, but it is a sign of sincerity.
I feel it deeply.
Regarding the personal remuneration contract, frankly speaking, after Gao Shen took a look at it, there were basically no big problems.
In other words, he didn't care at all.
Florentino will definitely not be shabby when he takes action.
Compared with personal treatment, he is more concerned about what Florentino wants?
"what do you want?"
Florentino smiled, he was really curious about this profound question.
His first reaction was to name the champion, but it was obvious that Gao Shen didn't mean it that way.
"I can say clearly that Real Madrid's current lineup is of a very high level and is very strong, but it always feels like it's falling short at the last minute. The reason is more at the technical and tactical level."
Gao Shen's words made Florentino, Butragueno, Zidane and Valdano all nod their heads and listen attentively, because they all wanted to know what Gao Shen thought of him.
The current Real Madrid team?
"If you want to win the championship, I think it would be too luxurious to look for me, because with the current Real Madrid lineup, as long as they strengthen some positions, I believe they will still be very competitive and have a good chance of winning the championship.
, such as Ancelotti, and even I think Qi Zu can do it."
Gao Shen's last words, pointing at Zidane, made everyone present burst into laughter, thinking he was joking.
Zidane even laughed and cursed.
At this critical moment, when we talk about serious matters, don’t make fun of me!
"If I go to Real Madrid, I don't just want the championship. In other words, I have no way to guarantee that I will win the championship immediately, especially the league championship, because to be honest, Barcelona has too obvious advantages in this aspect."
Valdano and Zidane looked at each other and nodded.
Gao Shen's understanding of this point is still very clear.
This is enough to prove that even with four Champions League titles in hand, Gao Shen is still very calm and rational.
Florentino always smiled, "You know, Gao, I've been very optimistic about you since 2006. I can honestly say that I'm quite confused now, and I don't even know what I want."
"I was thinking, the other way around, what do you think you can bring to Real Madrid?"
Gao Shen immediately laughed, this old fox!
Is this confusion?
No, this is the rebellion of General Gao Shen.
It's okay, who made you the chairman?
I will have to do some research some other time. Can foreigners become members of Real Madrid? Can they run for president of Real Madrid?
If possible, I would consider kicking you and letting you, an old fox, go home and retire.
He was slandering in his heart, but Gao Shenming still had a smile on his face.
"I think I can bring glory to Real Madrid for at least ten years!"
ten years?!
Everyone present was shocked.
Not to mention Florentino and others, even knowledgeable people like Zidane and Valdano were shocked by him.
European football is changing rapidly, who dares to say that they can guarantee success in ten years?
Su Qing, who was sitting aside, lowered her head slightly with a smile on her face. She knew better than anyone else what kind of character her husband was, and this move was called saying nothing but never surprising.
But let alone Gao Shen's status in world football today, and the fact that he said it so solemnly now, it really makes people feel particularly confident.
Why?
Because in the past six years, there has been no more successful head coach in European football than him.
More importantly, Gao Shen is only thirty-one years old.
Even ten years later, he is still only forty-one years old.
Even in the field of head coaching, a 41-year-old is still considered a newbie.
"I believe what you say!" Florentino nodded.
It’s all said and done, you have to believe it even if you don’t believe it.
"Then what do you need us to do?" Florentino asked again.
From the moment he decided to come to Cheshire, he had been mentally prepared to let the tall lion open his mouth.
Valdano even revealed privately that if Gao Shen didn't like the technical director, he could resign.
But Gao Shen smiled and shook his head, "I only want the right to decide on the transfer."
This time, Florentino and others looked at each other. Isn't this too simple?
"I believe you have seen, Florentino, that the situation in European football has changed dramatically. In the past few years, Manchester City has invested huge amounts of money, followed by Malaga and Paris Saint-Germain."
"I can say with certainty that the transfer market in European football will become unprecedentedly fierce, and the superstar policy will also be fully impacted. Real Madrid also needs to make some adjustments in time."
Florentino nodded.
He is a businessman with a keen sense of smell and reacts to the situation in European football faster than anyone else.
"From a technical and tactical point of view, it doesn't matter whether there are top superstars or even superstars. In recent years, the general trend of football has become more and more obvious. Superstars with super personal abilities are just the icing on the cake. There is no one."
A team would destroy this piece of cake for a flower."
This is actually a question of mutual achievement.
It's like someone asked, is it Messi who makes Barcelona, or Barcelona makes Messi?
Before the advanced journey, many people were discussing Ronaldo and Real Madrid.
This is actually never a contradiction.
Are superstars useful?
Useful and useful.
But this usefulness is based on the whole.
The most typical example is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has great personal ability, but the team he is in often has difficulty playing at a high level in high-intensity games.
If forced to choose between the team and superstars, all head coaches would choose the team.
Real Madrid is actually the team with the most serious superstar complex. It was only after Cristiano Ronaldo left the team that everyone realized that the entire team had tilted so many resources towards the superstar at the tactical level.
Of course, in the real world of professional football, Cristiano Ronaldo does have the strength, confidence and influence to ask Real Madrid to do this for him, and Cristiano Ronaldo has indeed shown the highest level to repay Real Madrid's support.
One day, Real Madrid felt it was no longer worth it, and Ronaldo left.
This is actually very fair.
But what worries Gao Shen most about Florentino?
It was Florentino who bought the superstar without his consent.
This is terrible.
Spending so much money to bring in players, if they are not used, they will be inappropriate if placed there. They will also be a hidden danger in the locker room. If they are used, they will be troublesome. They may even have to change the team's tactics. Is it worth it?
If we say that Gao Shen's team needs a top winger and Florentino says, let's buy Messi, then Gao Shen will definitely agree with both hands and feet. If he doesn't agree, he would be a fool.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, the best partner!
Therefore, Gao Shen wants to have the right to decide on transfers, so he is wary of this.
Florentino has always known this, and his willingness to come to Cheshire means that he is mentally prepared.
"I am here, in front of everyone, and I can solemnly assure you that during your tenure as Real Madrid's head coach, you have a veto power on all transfers made by Real Madrid. This can be written into the contract!"
Florentino's attitude was very firm.
In the past, he really had doubts, but now, he is really convinced.
Especially in the past few years, when he has hit a wall every year, he has come to understand the reality clearly.
What's more important is that Gao Shenzhen is right every time, even if it makes people dissatisfied.
Gao Shen quickly comforted him and said that there was nothing to guarantee, but that everyone would discuss the matter when transferring in the future.
This can be regarded as giving Florentino enough face and a step down.
It's not called a veto, it's called discussion.
Florentino's face softened slightly and he nodded towards Gao Shen.
But both parties have a tacit understanding, and this clause still needs to be written into the contract.
how to say?
This is called brothers settling accounts openly.
No matter how good the relationship is, things that should be written in black and white should still be written in black and white.
Many conflicts between relatives and friends often arise from vague handling.
After getting Florentino's guarantee, Gao Shen joked with Zidane, Butragueno, Valdano and others, hoping for a happy cooperation.
This actually indirectly told everyone that he had no intention of fighting for power. Valdano continued to be his technical director, which completely reassured Florentino and others.
But after securing his position, Valdano had to worry about his job.
"Gao, what do you think of the team's current lineup?"
