Gao Shen chatted with Ramos all morning and talked about many things.
From the team to the individual, even to the club, we talk about everything.
According to Ramos, since Gao Shen left, he has had a lot of things on his mind over the years, but he couldn't tell anyone, he could only keep them in his heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Finally, he made a very emotional statement: "Boss, it's hard to sit in the position of captain of Real Madrid!"
Who says it’s not?
If the position of Real Madrid head coach is the most difficult in the world, then the position of Real Madrid captain should also be.
Casillas is a very good professional player, but in the position of captain, he really does not do well.
But what Ramos said also makes sense.
It would cause a lot of trouble if you pull the whole body together and withdraw it now.
In fact, Gao Shen was not inclined to remove the captain now. He and Ramos mentioned that he just wanted to know Ramos's attitude, test his true thoughts, and make preparations for his next move.
Be prepared.
Now it seems that he should be able to rest assured about Ramos.
This guy may have selfish motives, and he may not be telling the truth completely, but he is still trustworthy.
As soon as he arrived at the hotel, Gao Shen had already received the news. Gao Shen saw every move he made outside the door.
This kid still pretends to be himself in his heart, not bad!
…
When Gao Shen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, looking at the streets of Madrid in the distance. The area opposite was the community where Zidane was currently living. Gao Shen had already asked him to look again, hoping to find a better house.
I still need to find someone to redecorate it.
The Queen Mother has issued a death order and pay attention to formaldehyde. This is really troublesome.
Just when Gao Shen felt funny, the doorbell rang again.
When Gao Shen went to open the door, he found that it was Valdano, Zidane and Carlo, accompanied by other acquaintances.
Fernando Hierro.
"Hello, Fernando." Gao Shen smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
"you are so tall."
At that time, Hierro was forced to leave because Real Madrid was unwilling to renew his contract, which caused an uproar in Spain. The first phase of Galacticos also went downhill from then on, and only then did Gao Shen emerge in 2006.
Hierro's return to Real Madrid after many years is by no means easy.
Everyone knows that he is actually here to get gold, and the real goal of the Real Madrid legend is still with the Spanish Football Federation.
With Hierro's status, if he wanted to work in Real Madrid, it would be a piece of cake. However, his relationship with Florentino was so bad that he naturally did not want to return to Real Madrid, so he wanted to go to the Spanish Football Association.
But before that, you still need to brush up on your resume.
Of course, this does not mean that Hierro, the assistant coach, is just a decoration.
On the contrary, Hierro's experience and status can bring great help to Real Madrid.
You know, this man is a one-stop player from center, midfielder, defensive midfielder, and central defender.
But Hierro can also see the frustration of the Real Madrid captain.
At his peak, Hierro scored 21 goals in 37 La Liga games as a midfielder and ranked second in the scorer list, second only to Atletico Madrid center Manolo.
Hierro was only twenty-four years old at the time.
In the following two seasons, his goal number has been very stable, always in double digits.
But later, with the arrival of midfielders such as Redondo and Michel Laudrup, Hierro gradually moved deeper and became a central defender.
Doesn't this look similar to Raul?
The president of Real Madrid at the time was Mendoza.
If we want to make an analogy, it should be that during Lampard's peak period, he suddenly switched from a central midfielder to a central defender.
Can Lampard accept it?
Therefore, whether it is Chairman Bernabeu, Chairman Mendoza, or now Florentino, Real Madrid has always followed a superstar policy, and Real Madrid's captain has always appeared as a doormat.
Of course, to put it nicely, this is called understanding the general situation and considering the overall situation.
Another typical example is that it is basically difficult for Real Madrid’s captain to end up well in the club.
The old captain Sanchis is able to retire from the club and end his career, thanks to the former chairman Sanz.
…
This time, Valdano brought his three assistants over, and the most important thing was to discuss the team's situation in the new season.
Gao Shen gave a brief summary of his meeting with Ramos just now. Naturally, many secrets cannot be disclosed, but he made it clear that Ramos had gained his trust.
On the matter of captaincy, Valdano and the three assistant coaches basically agree with Ramos and maintain the status quo.
Last season, when Casillas was unable to play, Ramos was the captain on the field. He has also gradually established his prestige and status in the locker room. In this case, there is no need to rush to change the captain;
We should continue to increase support for Ramos and let him take over slowly.
This is also the most ideal situation that Gao Shen has thought about before.
But whether we can achieve this situation depends on Casillas.
Gao Shen wants to find an opportunity to have a good chat with the Real Madrid captain, but there is no rush now.
Valdano brings another problem.
Real Madrid made money.
This should be a good thing in most other clubs, even in all clubs except Real Madrid and Barcelona, but not in Real Madrid.
Because membership-based teams are not allowed to make profits.
Once there is a profit, the government will impose heavy penalties and taxes.
As Real Madrid's revenue has increased significantly, Real Madrid has to try every means to spend money every year.
Of course, the existence of the board of directors plays a supervisory role. If you want to spend money, you must spend it in a structured way, and you cannot lose the interests of Real Madrid.
So many times, when fans see Real Madrid buying a certain player, which is outrageous and worth such a high price, it is probably to spend part of the profits, but privately, the team and the opposing team will use some other means to
Ensure that Real Madrid's interests are not damaged.
But now, Gao Shen is making money in the transfer market.
"Florentino and Jose Sanchez have also put a lot of effort into this. You know, Real Madrid has invested a lot in these years, but they can't always make money."
Gao Shen, Zidane and others couldn't help laughing.
This is a happy trouble for Real Madrid.
The money-making ability is too strong, and profits are not allowed, so you have to think of ways to spend money every year.
"To be honest, it's not that I don't want to buy, but there are really no suitable players for us in the transfer market." Gao Shen also feels "a headache" because he has to pay attention to a basic method when spending money.
Just like Real Madrid now.
There are Benzema and Higuain on the front line, and there are Morata and Joselu in the youth team. Do you still want to buy?
Who to buy?
More importantly, after buying it, can the locker room be harmonious?
The winger position is now occupied by Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria. The bench is indeed not strong enough, but there is no one left.
There are only a few good wingers, Hazard, Gareth Bale and Robben are in Manchester City, and Real Madrid dare not touch them easily.
why?
If you touch someone from Manchester City, they will directly fight for your life. When the time comes, you will be poached and no one will be able to play.
The most typical example is Paris Saint-Germain's forced poaching of Neymar, which is really no joke.
Gao Shen originally wanted to buy Neymar, but the problem came again.
After Real Madrid made contact, they found that Neymar's negotiations with Barcelona were very advanced. Real Madrid simply could not provide many of the conditions offered by Barcelona.
If it is given, the team's salary system will collapse.
Of course, you can also hide it like Barcelona did, but the consequences and costs are very clear.
You know, Real Madrid and Barcelona are membership systems, and the chairman does have all the power, but the board of directors must audit every year.
There are many things that cannot be hidden at all.
Only someone like Russell would do such stupid things, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was played around by Neymar and his son.
The key problem is that Real Madrid is not spending money on Leeds United.
Leeds United spent one million to buy Cancelo and Felipe Anderson, which was a huge effort, but what about Real Madrid?
Sorry, if it's not eight figures, no one will notice.
Wingers are difficult to deal with, but how about full-backs?
Yes, although Gao Shen never thought about asking for Jordi Alba, because he knew that this guy only wanted to go to Barcelona, but he thought about asking for Bayern's Alaba.
But the problem is that Bayern doesn't want to sell.
This kind of transaction between wealthy families actually has to abide by certain unspoken rules, that is, it cannot be broken.
The biggest difference between Calderon and Florentino is that the former does things very dishonorably, while Florentino can always do things decently and take care of each other's face.
But if Bayern is unwilling to sell, then Real Madrid can't force it and can only wait for the opportunity.
As for the right wing, Arbeloa and Carvajal are enough.
The central defenders include Ramos, Pepe, Varane and Albiol, which is enough.
Then it can only be the midfielder.
The midfielder is indeed a little thinner, but look at the current European football world, who can come to Real Madrid?
If the player is too weak, Real Madrid will look down on him. If the player is stronger, who is willing to be a substitute for Xavi Alonso?
Javi Martinez is the number one defensive midfielder in the world today, but given his worth, it is impossible for Manchester City to sell him.
Who else besides him?
De Rossi in Rome?
Can't buy it.
Liverpool's Javier Mascherano is very good, but the problem is that after he comes, he will have to play as a double defensive midfielder, and Toni Kroos and Modric will have to take one. This is not in line with Gao Shen's arrangement.
Therefore, in today's football world, there is really no choice among the single midfielders.
Hierro is from Malaga, and he strongly recommended Malaga midfielder Isco to Real Madrid.
The Spanish midfielder has just turned 20. In La Liga last season, he played 29 times, scored five goals and four assists. He performed very well and was the best performer in the Malaga team.
player of.
Isco's current worth is 15 million euros, but he is very young. If you want to persuade Malaga to release him, there is no hope if you don't have 20 million euros.
After Gao Shen heard this, he knew in his heart that he still had to buy someone.
"Okay, let him do it!" Gao Shen nodded in agreement.
Valdano secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Hierro also beamed with joy.
The former was afraid that Gao Shen would object, while the latter felt that since he was new here, it would be a good start if his opinions could be adopted by Gao Shen.
As for Gao Shen, he really thinks Isco is really good.
This guy is well trained and very useful.
"By the way, when are you going to talk to Ronaldo?" Valdano asked with concern.
This is the most concerning event outside right now.
