969 La Liga or Champions League, I will win either!
The most critical reason why European football is the core of world football lies in its rigorous and reasonable system.
For example, fixtures and transfer periods.
When Gao Shen was a fan in his previous life, he once thought about an interesting question: What would happen if there was no transfer period?
For a while, when he played FM Football Manager, he was a standard save/load maniac, just in case.
If he encounters teams that he can't beat no matter how hard he beats them, he will try his best to use the BT modifier to change the core players to injured before the game. If he encounters a team he likes, he will directly change it to his own team.
.
In fact, this problem also exists in reality.
If there is no transfer period, then wouldn't the wealthy teams be able to poach the opponent's core players before the game?
Then wouldn’t the league be in chaos?
Summer transfer and winter transfer happen to be before and during the season. The former is for team formation, and the latter is for supplement and improvement. Moreover, the summer transfer window is long and there are many players to choose from. Winter transfer
The window is different, the time is short and the choice is small.
Therefore, the vast majority of teams will not operate winter transfers under normal circumstances.
Real Madrid's biggest problem now is that Marcelo's injury has left the team with a vacancy at left back.
At the same time, the lack of substitute players in the midfield and frontcourt also exposed Real Madrid's problems.
For example, on the two wings, Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria are the main players, but the substitutes are young players, such as Jese and Vazquez.
In the midfield, Toni Kroos, Modric, Verratti, and Kaká are the four players who rotate. Isco and Granero have very little playing time.
Gao Shen also has a headache about this.
If Isco is still young and needs further training, then at Granero's current age, it is indeed not very suitable to continue to stay on the bench and will only hinder the player's development.
Therefore, Gao Shen's attitude is that if any player is interested in Granero, then sell him.
After more than half a year, he has finally figured out that it is really difficult for Granero to gain a foothold in Real Madrid.
…
"cough."
Florentino coughed slightly and looked at Valdano.
The Argentinian knew what he was doing and immediately smiled awkwardly, "Gao, what we are discussing now is buying people."
"Yes, selling people is easy. We will help Granero choose a suitable La Liga team, but it is difficult to buy people, especially our left back." Butragueno also said.
Say it quickly.
Previously, there were rumors that Gao Shen and Florentino had differences.
There is no smoke without fire, and there is a reason for this.
Real Madrid's management is indeed looking for a left back and has indeed contacted Bayern, but Bayern refuses to talk.
The biggest difference between Real Madrid under the leadership of Florentino and Barcelona in poaching players is that they must make the other team willing to sell their players instead of contacting and poaching them privately.
Barcelona's approach has a very bad reputation in European football.
The most typical ones are to dig Fabregas and Alexander Song.
Who has ever seen a team poaching players and directly putting their jerseys on them while they are participating in the national team?
Who has ever seen someone promise a high salary when poaching a player, and encourage the player to make trouble with the original club, while he hides behind it?
Sometimes, Gao Shen was thinking that the more Barcelona bought people, the more expensive he became. In the final analysis, everyone was on guard against him, trying to pay off the debt for a series of previous actions.
Of course, the Barcelona management's own hot-headedness is also a key reason.
What's even more interesting is that these players who have tried their best to buy them have not been used properly, which is a bit outrageous.
It is precisely because of Real Madrid's consistent style that when Bayern refused to sell Alaba, Real Madrid really had no choice.
If you want to settle for the next best, such as Siqueira, Monreal, and even Napoli's Alex Sandro and Leeds United's Layvin Kurzawa are among Real Madrid's signing targets.
But Gao Shen's point of view is that the team should not sign players during the winter break.
Until now, he has insisted on this view.
"Group of Death"
It put tremendous pressure on us, and all of us seemed to have experienced a trial of ice and fire. Many players have made great progress, such as Carvajal, who now has the ability to stand alone."
"Qualifying from the group of death is also a great encouragement to the players. The atmosphere in the locker room is quite good now. Everyone is united and has the same goal and direction."
Having said this, Gao Shen looked at Butragueno and Valdano, "You should know that this is a very ideal state."
If a team wants to achieve results, strength is only a foundation. The key is to be able to display its strength.
For eleven people on the court to show their strength, the most important thing is to be united and have a common goal and direction.
The death group is a test, but it is also pressure.
Under tremendous pressure, the Real Madrid locker room united.
"I dare to say that this can produce results." Gao Shen gave his judgment very firmly.
As the best head coach in the world, everyone basically agrees with his judgment.
"There are really no suitable players in the transfer market now, such as our wingers, Gareth Bale, Robben, Messi, Sanchez, Ribery, or Hazard, but we have none of them.
Can’t buy it.”
"For the midfielder, David Silva, Rakitic, De Bruyne, or Javi Martinez would be fine, but obviously we can't buy them either."
Gao Shen's requirements are very clear. His requirements for midfielders are to be technically sophisticated and comprehensive.
But this type of player is so rare that you can only cultivate it yourself.
For example, David Silva played as a midfielder when he was in Valencia, but in Manchester City, he was promoted to a central midfielder by Gao Shen, and his defense also improved a lot.
There is also Rakitic, who was also an attacking midfielder when he first debuted. He was still a talented attacking midfielder, but under the guidance of senior players, he became a midfielder.
The same is true for Toni Kroos in the Real Madrid team now.
He was originally an attacking midfielder and left attacking midfielder, but now Gao Shen puts him on the left center midfielder.
Many people think that the German midfielder is inconspicuous and inconspicuous, but he is the stabilizer of Real Madrid's midfield.
But players like this are really hard to find.
"You know, our current team is at a very critical stage and is well integrated. But as soon as there is news that we are selling or buying people at this time, people will be in chaos."
"It's not impossible to buy a left back. The key is that Marcelo is expected to return in February. Buenaventura and Pintus have good reviews on his recovery. By then, our manpower will be bloated.
"
"So, now it's easy to buy people, Marcos Alonso, Nacho, even Arbeloa, what will these people think?"
The profound concerns come from the perspective of locker room management.
If you don't buy people, Gao Shen can say whatever you want, but if you buy people, it brings an existential crisis to the players, then it's useless to say anything.
Sometimes, locker room management is not only an internal matter, but also an external issue.
"There is also a midfielder. Kaka is performing very well now and has fighting spirit. Isco can also get some opportunities. We are also actively cultivating him. But if we buy another one, we will have more midfielders."
According to Gao Shen, Toni Kroos and Modric are the main players, Verratti and Isco should be focused on training, and Kaká can also play a role in many cases.
If you buy another one, why do you buy it?
It will only make the team's competition more fierce.
Internal competition is not necessarily the more intense the better, but it must be properly controlled.
After that, the locker room becomes a mess.
Florentino knew very well that Gao Shen's words were mostly meant for him.
"We mainly considered Kaka's age." Jose Sanchez said from the side.
Gao Shen understood immediately.
Some teams want Kaká.
In fact, everyone knows that Kaká will not be able to stay at Real Madrid for long.
No team can accept a player earning such a high salary but not playing many games.
Therefore, it is normal for Kaka to leave the team.
"Give him another half a year!" Gao Shen looked at Jose Sanchez, the general manager of Real Madrid.
"I promised him before that I would try my best to help him realize his wish this season, so he works very hard both in training and in games. I think we should give him a decent face."
At the end of the sentence, Gao Shen still looked at Florentino.
Back then, Kaka could have gone to Manchester City, but Florentino came forward, so he chose to stay at AC Milan.
But who would have thought that after transferring to Real Madrid, Kaka would encounter a series of injuries, coupled with his own decision-making mistakes, which led to him falling to this point.
In both public and private matters, Real Madrid has been extremely benevolent and righteous.
"Do you think Kaká can still help the team?" Florentino asked.
"He's a cohesive part of the team."
The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, the locker room is the same as the office.
"How sure are you?" Florentino asked again.
"I will win either La Liga or the Champions League!" Gao Shen said very firmly.
Florentino thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then what do you need me to do?"
Gao Shen smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Just stand up and show the management's attitude. There will be no transfers or sales during the winter break!"
Florentino nodded in agreement, "Gao, in the future, if you don't get the La Liga or the Champions League and get dismissed, don't say it again. I won't agree. It's useless if you say it. It will only cause trouble for the public relations department."
"
Gao Shen smiled when he heard this and looked at Butragueno, who had a bitter look on his face and kept nodding.
"Also, we are a members-only club and are not allowed to make a profit. It is understandable that we will not sign any players during the winter break, but we still have to find a way to spend some money next summer, otherwise I, the chairman, will not be able to keep my job."
Gao Shen nodded, "Then take a look at Alaba, midfielder, and winger to see if there are any suitable ones."
After a pause, Gao Shen smiled again, "If it still doesn't work, let's just renovate the Bernabeu."
Florentino was full of emotion, but shook his head regretfully, "Now is not the time. The team's performance has not improved, and we have hastily started the transformation. When funds are tight, you will cause trouble to me again."
I bet you, as the chairman of Real Madrid, he is quite depressed.
Gao Shen rarely saw Florentino's expression, so he immediately smiled.
"Don't worry, neither I nor the players will let you down!"
