Xavi Alonso knocked on the door of Gao Shen's office.
The door was open. Standing at the door, Xabi Alonso saw Gao Shen watching the video on his tablet attentively. He raised his head when he heard the knock on the door, smiled and waved to him, indicating to come in and letting him in.
Close the door.
After turning off the tablet, Gao Shen poured a glass of water for Xabi Alonso.
"Boss, are you looking for me?" Xavi Alonso sat down and looked at Gao Shen and asked.
Gao Shen nodded, "I have something to talk to you about."
Xabi Alonso vaguely guessed what was going on.
Gao Shen has already talked to Modric and Toni Kroos, and Xabi Alonso is guessing that it will be his turn soon. The main content of the conversation should still be about the home game against Dortmund and the Champions League group stage.
.
Now, Real Madrid's situation is extremely dangerous, there is a lot of commotion outside, and the media is about to explode.
Some tabloids even reported that Gao Shen would be dismissed once Real Madrid were eliminated in the group stage, fearing that the world would be in chaos.
Real Madrid management immediately held a press conference to clarify, reiterated its support for Gao Shen, and firmly believed that the team could advance smoothly.
But it's very difficult.
Dortmund is really strong.
But what Xavi Alonso didn't expect was that Gao Shen would not talk about the game, but discuss contract extension with him.
"Your contract is until 2014, and your contract period is the latest among our team."
It's already 2012 and 2013 is about to begin. In other words, Xabi Alonso's contract is actually very dangerous. If he doesn't renew it quickly, he will find a team by himself later.
But the problem for the Spanish midfielder is that he is thirty-one years old.
With the current contract, he will be almost thirty-three years old when it expires.
In fact, Real Madrid's management has been considering and considering whether to continue to renew Xavi Alonso's contract.
From the perspective of hindsight, you will definitely feel that if it continues, of course it must be continued quickly.
But from the perspective of Real Madrid's technical team and management, this is also a science.
How many players have contracted, but their performance has directly deteriorated. When the time comes, their age will be there, and their performance will be greatly reduced. How can they be corrected?
Many fans accused Wenger of saying that he would only renew his contract once a year after he turned 30, but in fact, he really has his own reasons.
Of course, Gao Shen believes that Harvey Alonso is not such a person.
As a time traveler, he also knows clearly how long Xabi Alonso's state can last.
"I have officially sent a fax to the technical department. I ask them to negotiate with you and your agent on the contract renewal issue as soon as possible. I don't want this matter to continue to drag on."

Xavi Alonso was a little surprised by Gao Shen's statement, but it was within the acceptable range.
What really surprised him was the next sentence.
"In terms of annual salary, my initial opinion is six million euros after tax."
Xavi Alonso was obviously stunned, "Six million euros...after tax?"
"Yes, you think it's too little?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.
"No, no, no, I just feel a bit..." Xabi Alonso was really moved.
From the moment he walked in until now, Gao Shen has been paying attention to the change in Xavi Alonso's expression.
This Basque man is really calm and calm, as if nothing can be hidden from him or surprise him.
But the renewal conditions given by Gao Shen really surprised him.
His current annual salary is 3.8 million euros after tax, ranking in the middle of the Real Madrid team.
You know, he is already 31 years old, and after the contract extension, the salary will increase to 6 million after tax. This is simply a great deal for him.
It is not an exaggeration to even say that Gao Shen regards him as his butt!
If not, why should he fight for such a contract extension for Xabi Alonso?
"Don't get excited. This is just a proposal I gave to the office. They also have their own review process. We will discuss it later, but I think there will be some changes in the details, but in general it will be the same." Gao Shen now has such power.
Xavi Alonso was really excited and moved.
"For this contract renewal, my personal suggestion is to use the 2+1 model, which means renewing the contract for two years. If the playing time is about the same, we can renew it for another year, which means the longest is until 2017. By then, you will be almost three years old.
Sixteen years old."
For Xabi Alonso, this is really almost a lifetime contract.
"Boss, actually, I really didn't expect it." Harvey Alonso was really surprised.
"Just get used to it. I will never treat players who have contributed to the team badly, especially an outstanding core player like you. I will keep you in Real Madrid no matter what."
Gao Shen has done all the things and said all the words. What else can Xavi Alonso say?
I was moved, and then announced my absolute unconditional support for Gao Shen.
"You've done a good enough job, Harvey, really." Gao Shen confirmed with a smile.
After a pause, he changed his tone slightly, "But I believe you are a smart person, so I will confess to you directly."
"Your age is there, and your experience is a valuable asset to us, so I hope you can help a group of young players in the team. What I can guarantee is that in my plan, you
Like them, they all occupy a vital position, and you are all the most important players."
Without the contract just now, Xabi Alonso would definitely have concerns, but with such a heavy contract, if he still questions the weight of Gao Shen's words, then he is not Xavi Alonso.
Alonso did.
Who would take the fourth highest salary in the team and make fun of others?
"I understand, boss, don't worry, I won't let you down." Xavi Alonso assured solemnly.
"This game against Dortmund is very, very important and key for us. We must be in our best form before then and win at least two goals at home."
Xavi Alonso understood that Gao Shen had made up his mind and immediately agreed solemnly.
…
After a period of exchanges with Xavi Alonso about the tactics and ideas for the match against Dortmund, as well as his ideas for adjusting and transforming the team's midfield, Gao Shen let Xavi Alonso go.
.
But I still feel a headache.
When working in a large company, the most tiring thing is often not the specific business, but internal communication.
They call this a corporate disease.
In fact, the same is true at Real Madrid.
Whether Real Madrid's head coach knows tactics, whether he knows how to train, whether he knows how to buy players, these are not important. The most important thing is communication, and he must be able to appease the stars in the locker room.
For example, Del Bosque, many people are very critical of Del Bosque's coaching ability.
Isn't it outrageous that the head coach of two UEFA Champions League champions didn't even get an invitation from a wealthy team after he left Real Madrid?
Many people will think that Del Bosque is doing well in the Spanish national team, and he is soft on the world champion and European Cup champion...
But if I ask people in the industry, I can’t say that these two championships have no weight, but they really don’t.
If you ask Mourinho to coach the Portuguese national team and Guardiola to coach the Spanish national team, do you think they will do it?
To put it bluntly, it is a nursing home. You will only consider going there if you can no longer survive in the professional league.
But one thing I have to admit is that Bosque is really suitable for Real Madrid, and he is even still one of Real Madrid's most popular coaches until now.
Sometimes, people are just so weird.
Gao Shen successively talked with Toni Kroos, Xavi Alonso and Modric. The main reason was to completely break the barriers in the midfield so that they could let go.
Of course, the issue of contract renewal is also important.
Gao Shen called Valdano before. He didn't care at all about Ronaldo's contract extension. He didn't need to worry about it. Ronaldo's team and Real Madrid's team have been in talks.
Gao Shen mentioned four players to Valdano, Marcelo, Xabi Alonso, Benzema and Di Maria.
He asked these four players to renew their contracts as soon as possible.
Among them, Xavi Alonso is the most urgent. He expires in 2014. In theory, this season is a critical period for contract renewal, but for the 31-year-old Spanish midfielder, the renewal environment will be more relaxed.
.
Both Marcelo and Benzema are expiring in 2015. Benzema's annual salary is 5 million euros after tax. There is no rush to renew the contract, but it should be considered.
Marcelo must renew his contract.
The current annual salary of the Spanish left back is 2.3 million euros after tax, ranking last in the Real Madrid team. Now he is injured again. Gao Shen feels that the team should take advantage of this time to give him a contract extension to let Brazil
From now on everyone can stay at Real Madrid and play football with peace of mind.
Di Maria is also miserable. His annual salary after tax is 3.5 million euros, but the contract period is until 2018, which is a bit too long.
What Gao Shen meant was that the contract period remained unchanged, but he told Di Maria that as long as he can continue his performance and status at the beginning of the season this season, he will renew his contract next summer and give him a higher annual salary.
Found it?
Florentino and the Real Madrid management handled the contract renewal issue really smartly and were very careful about everything.
Like Yin Guayin, his current annual salary after tax is only 3.8 million Champions League, and his elder brother’s is only 3.8 million euros. Are you kidding me?
Pepe is worth 3.5 million euros, and Albiol and Arbeloa are both worth 2 million euros after tax.
This kind of salary structure is a proper benchmark in European football.
But the current situation is obvious, and there must be a rise.
Cristiano Ronaldo's contract renewal negotiations have been going on for some time. Barcelona's annual salary has been increased twice. Real Madrid's performance is not ideal and they have been suppressing it, but they can't suppress it anymore.
The annual salaries of top teams in the Premier League, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and other leagues are also increasing.
Real Madrid cannot suppress this wave.
Gao Shen's handling also received support from Valdano and Florentino, because Xavi Alonso's contract renewal is indeed imminent. It expires in 2014. If the contract is not renewed now, when will it be renewed?
Do we have to wait for his free transfer?
But Gao Shen also has a vague feeling that Real Madrid is expected to see a wave of contract renewals in the next one or two years. As a head coach, of course he can continue to be a good person, but Kaká is likely to leave the team.
The reason is very simple: it frees up an annual salary of 9 million yuan after tax.
With Kaka's current situation, it is basically impossible to renew his contract. Jose Sanchez also said before that his commercial value has shrunk significantly, but with an annual salary of 9 million euros after tax, if he renews his contract and calculates it according to the new tax rate, then
The pressure on Real Madrid will be very high.
Ronaldo renewed his contract because the Portuguese has competitive and commercial value, but Kaka...
There is nothing Gao Shen can do.
After all, running a wealthy sports team is not a charity, and you can't be emotional.
