Chapter 163： Profound, life can not be too Versailles!

The facilities at St Paul's are still too old.

Whether it's from the inside or from the outside, it's the same.

The stadium is transformed from a comprehensive stadium. There is a track and field track between the stadium and the stands, and there is a semi-circular arc area behind the goals at both ends. This causes the distance between the stadium and the stands to be too far, which seriously affects the atmosphere of the home court.

Thanks to the double-decker stand, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people, Naples fans are also known for their passion, but the atmosphere is also greatly reduced, which can only be regarded as good. If it can be turned into a professional football stadium, I believe the atmosphere at home will be even more terrifying.

The facilities of the stadium are basically nothing.

This can be seen very clearly from outside the field.

The two-storey stand is a reinforced concrete structure, bowl-shaped, with no other covering, so it is directly exposed. In order to support the ceiling, there is a layer of steel structure above the stand, which makes the stadium look really rough from the outside.

To put it nicely, this is called exposed wildness.

Gao Shen heard for a long time that the home facilities of Serie A teams are very backward, because they don't even own the home court.

Now that I have experienced it myself, it is really shabby enough to ask for nothing.

With this amount of income, Serie A is a long way behind teams in other leagues.

In this regard, De Laurentiis also has no good solution.

The stadium is a municipal facility. It can’t be moved, and it can’t be changed. It is clear that many fans have consumer demand in this area, but there is no way, there is nothing, and it even has to be provided from time to time to hold various events and sports events for the city government. .

In Italy, the government expressly stipulates that teams are not allowed to build football stadiums privately, which is tantamount to strangling a large chunk of their income.

More than 50,000 people, sitting in one of the most popular football markets in Italy, are unable to generate income, which is also a great pity.

"Actually, it's not completely impossible." Gao Shen smiled and said.

De Laurentiis and Marino were a little surprised.

"Is there a way?" De lao couldn't believe it.

"It's actually very simple. Isn't private construction not allowed?"

After seeing Delao and Marino nodding, Gao Shen continued: "Then rent it, rent it for a long time, rent it for ninety-nine years, isn't it the same as your own? It's no problem to remodel it any way you want. solved it?"

De Laurentiis shook his head, "It's unrealistic. The government can't rent the St. Paul Stadium to you for so long, and they often use this stadium to hold various events and sports games, so they won't agree to the renovation."

"Then change it. It's better to have one that is tattered and rotten, and has been abandoned for a long time. In this way, the rent is very cheap, and it can be renovated justifiably. There are good reasons, because if we don't renovate it, we can't use it."

DeLaurentiston's eyes lit up.

This old guy is also a shrewd person who can't afford to do nothing but draw inferences from one case to another. As soon as he was so pointed out by Gao Shen, he immediately wanted to understand the key tricks.

"It's wonderful. In this way, a new stadium can be built justifiably, but the cost is estimated to be more than 100 million euros, but after the investment, the income of the entire match day can be greatly increased, which is absolutely worth it!"

Thinking of this, De Laurentiis was on fire.

It's a really good idea, because that's what Juventus has done over the past few years.

De Laurentiis gave Gao a deep pat on the shoulder, and could hardly wait to pick him up and chew on it.

This little guy is really talented, and he gave himself such a good idea as soon as he came.

Oh, it's good to be young, with flexible ideas and a lot of ghost ideas!

But De Laurentiis soon muttered to himself in his heart: This kid is such a thief, has he been tricked by him during the entire negotiation process?

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally felt that there was no such thing.

This is a little reassuring.

…………

Naples' home stadium is in the city's Bay Area, but its training base is 35 kilometers northwest of the city, a small town called Fort Volturno, which has a total population of just over 20,000.

The distance is not far, but since the stadium and training base are near the highway, it is convenient to travel.

But what surprised Gao Shen was that the Fort Volturno training center was actually in a golf club near the sea.

Three long and narrow football fields are connected from north to south, followed by a training building and player dormitories.

Only the first team of Naples trains here. The team's youth training camp is not very complete, and this is not under the management of senior officials.

When Marino brought Gao Shen to the training base, Carlo, Buenaventura, Lucas, Lopis and Borrell were already in place, and they had already seen the entire training base. Chu.

Rudolf Borrell only thought about it for three days before calling Gao Shen and agreeing to join his coaching staff.

Today, the group of them arrived in Naples at the same time, and went straight to the St. Paul Stadium to sign the contract, while the five of them came directly to the Fort Volturno training base to inspect the various hardware and software facilities here.

In the low training building, they held their first meeting of Naples coaches, with technical director Marino listening in.

The main content of the meeting is that everyone put forward various opinions according to their own post needs, and put forward what equipment needs to be transformed and what equipment needs to be introduced. All done.

Marino is the specific person in charge of this work.

At this time, the advantages of a complete coaching staff are reflected.

Naples, as a team that has only been established for two years, must have imperfect training facilities, and the layout is not scientific or unreasonable. In addition, the former head coaches Ventura and Rhea are both old coaches, so the requirements for this aspect are not high. Some new technologies are also unfamiliar, which has caused all kinds of software and hardware in Naples to seriously fail to keep up with the times.

And the high-level coaching staff are all from the top giants.

To put it bluntly, the wealthy and talented people represent the most advanced productivity in today's world football.

For example, Buenaventura proposed a testing device, which has been used in Real Madrid for two years. It is very useful for physical testing of players, but Naples did not see it at all. The key is that it is still cheap.

Borrell proposed to use the open space next to the three training grounds to transform a small field. He wanted players to play ball training in the small field, so as to maximize the training of players' touches and balls. tacit agreement.

In fact, all the transformation investment is not large, but the key is to use it together.

Marino is from Udinese and is known for his youth training in Serie A, but in front of the advanced coaching staff, he really opened his eyes.

Serie A has been indulging in the light of its own small World Cup for so long that it has begun to fail to keep up with the times in all aspects.

AC Milan is relatively good. The Milan laboratory is well-known far and wide. However, it is reported that the senior management of Milan is also quite complaining about the laboratory that invests a lot of money every year.

But after personally participating in the meeting between Gao Shen and the coaching staff, Marino really felt that Naples was too outdated.

Not to mention that the entire renovation won't cost much, even if it is over a million, he thinks it should be invested.

Players are the primary productivity of a football club!

……

"Pierre Paul, these transformations and the introduction of equipment must be done quickly."

After the meeting, Gao Shen escorted Marino out of the office and told him a thousand times.

"Don't worry, you must be ready before the summer training camp starts," Marino assured.

De Laurentiis promised to give him the position of general manager, and he is also working very hard now, even harder.

"In addition, none of us have found a good house yet. I heard from you before that you live in the Bay Area?" Gao Shen asked.

"Yes, the security in the Bay Area is good, the scenery is good, and there are many houses. If you need it, I will ask someone to help you find it."

"Thank you, sorry for your trouble." Gao Shen nodded in thanks.

"Originally, I planned to dig a few people from Real Madrid, such as Callejon, Parejo, Juan Mata..."

After Gao Shen finished speaking, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's all my fault. Last season, I gave them a chance to perform. Now many teams are eyeing them, and Real Madrid also pays attention to them. I'm afraid it won't be easy to dig."

For example, Callejon, this winger has a strong immediate combat power, fast speed, deep knowledge and understanding, and cooperates more tacitly, but unfortunately, Real Madrid's players are worth too much, and Callejon's price is 5 million euros .

You want to rent it, it's not easy to handle, if you perform well, Real Madrid will go back directly, so you have to find someone again?

"It's not surprising, these are all talented players, and they are the leaders of the Spanish youth academy." Marino wondered if Gao Shen was in Versailles?

You must know that any one of these players is released at will, it is the sweet pastry of the major teams, it is a treasure.

That is why a team like Real Madrid pays so little attention Let's look outside first, and if there is a suitable one, we will buy it. If it doesn't work, I will go to Real Madrid to rent it. " said Gao Shen.

As long as he speaks deeply, Real Madrid will generally not refuse.

Besides, this is tantamount to cultivating talents for Real Madrid in disguise, and Real Madrid is probably even more happy.

Who does not know that Real Madrid is going down now, and it is a good player to cultivate young players.

"Also, contact Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia and ask them the price of midfielder Luka Modric to see if we can afford it." Gao Shen was also a little helpless.

Actually, having a player like Modric in the midfield is really useful.

Not to mention he has both offense and defense, he can pass, control, shoot, and the key is that he can get rid of and can advance, and he can advance with the ball in the middle. Now that the defense is getting more and more careful, the role is getting bigger and bigger.

Just like Kaka, his dribbling in the middle is a big killer and an important means to break the defensive position.

Although Gao Shen plays on the wing, if there is such a person in the middle, the overall strength will be even higher.

However, Gao Shen took a look at it before. Modric is now a Croatian international and is participating in the World Cup. Dinamo Zagreb is also a frequent visitor to the Champions League. It is estimated that he cannot afford it, and people may not be willing to come.

As for throwing money, investing more than 10 million euros and letting Modric play in Serie B is not worth it.

Therefore, Gao Shen tends to understand.

He also has a suitable candidate for the midfielder's double midfielder.

This time, he is going to personally go out and take down these two people no matter what.
