Chapter 196： Serie B 1st shot

Returning to Naples from Rome, the first thing Gao Shen did was to run to the headquarters in Naples, enter Marino's office, and directly stated his concerns in Rome, reminding him to pay close attention to the players' movements.

The emphasis is still on paying attention to brokers.

Gao Shen communicates very smoothly with the players. He is different from the other old men in their 40s, 50s and 60s. He is similar in age to the players.

But the problem is that the chips that Napoli can give are relatively limited now. Even if they really enter Serie A next season, if the players receive invitations from some Premier League or La Liga teams, I am afraid it will be difficult to refuse the temptation, especially the Premier League.

The broadcast fee sharing model of the Premier League has caused many Premier League teams, even those in the relegation zone, and even those who have been relegated to the English Championship, to earn higher incomes than Serie A teams, which has led to the There is a lot of money that can be used to run transfers.

In contrast, Naples and Serie A teams suffer too much in this regard.

"We must pay attention to handling this relationship. I really don't want to see that the players we have worked so hard to cultivate will be dug up by other teams before they produce results."

This is what Gao Shen is most worried about.

Sell ​​people?

this is nothing.

The positioning of Naples has never been a giant team, and it will be a matter of time to sell.

Even, to a certain extent, Gao Shen is also very happy to see Naples sell people, because he has a 20% commission, Naples players are poached at high prices, and Gao Shen also earns himself, even he is the biggest. beneficiaries.

The problem is, money, he likes it very much, but what he wants more now is grades.

If you let Naples players develop, they will be dug into a corner as soon as they turn around, how can they still achieve results?

After Marino heard the profound words, he also had a solemn expression on his face, which was indeed a big problem.

During his time at Udinese, the principle he believed in was: as long as you can afford the money, you can sell your underwear to you.

But Naples is different.

The premise of De Laurentiis attracting Gao Shen to coach is that both sides have the intention to build a strong Serie A team, and even reach the Champions League.

In this case, Napoli is positioned higher than Udinese.

"I will deal with this matter immediately and come up with a plan as soon as possible. When the time comes, it is time to renew the contract. Don't worry."

Gao Shen nodded, this is not within his purview, but he will continue to supervise.

"The team shouldn't be too poor now, right?" Gao Shen asked casually.

"It's not rich either, it's enough to live frugally." Marino laughed.

Gao Shen frowned, showing a look: I don't read much, don't lie to me.

Marino suddenly felt like he was being seen through.

In fact, although he is the head coach of the team, there are many things that he does not know about, and even the club will not let him know, such as the transfer of Karayo.

Gao Shen had always thought that Karayo was all the players in the team, but after his transfer, he found out that he was not.

At that time, Carrao was targeted by Lazio in Serie A. Pescara made a proposal to Lazio for 1.5 million euros to sell Carla's approximately 50% ownership, but Lazio hesitated.

Naples didn't know what to do, but the key was that they signed a half-ownership of Karayo for a cheaper price of 1.35 million euros. A year and a half later, Karayo was sold by Naples for 320 Wan is sold.

That is to say, Naples also made 250,000 euros in the Carayo deal, basically paying Carayo's salary and bonuses.

To put it simply, Karayo was paid by Naples for a year and a half!

This can be said to be the operation of God!

Coupled with the return of Paul Cannavaro, Gao Shen really admires these two big bosses in Naples.

De Laurentiis looked carefree and open-mouthed, but in fact, he was full of bad water and very shrewd.

Gao Shen came to remind him immediately, which is equivalent to telling De Laurentiis through Marino: Remember our previous agreement, before the results, players should not sell easily!

Of course, De Laurentiis is not stupid.

If you can really get results, then you must wait for the results to sell before you sell it, then it will be valuable, right?

Unless it is really impossible to keep it, otherwise, there is no conflict of interest between Gao Shen and them.

…

"I heard that in the past two seasons, the club's annual TV broadcast fee was 1.6 million euros. This season it has soared to nearly 10 million euros. It was just sold recently, right?" Looking at Marino, he smiled.

He also has his own intelligence channels, and Lucas is getting better and better at gathering intelligence, and he also has some friends and sources, including but not limited to familiar media reporters.

Marino was a little surprised, but acquiesced.

This money is in Serie B, except for Juventus, no one else.

"Also, the mineral water company Lete's sponsorship fee for this season has reached 2 million euros. Calculated from these two funds, it is about 10 million euros. How can it be seen that it is not too poor?" Gao Shen called first. Get the immunizations and tell Marino that he knows something, not nothing.

In addition to sponsorship, Lete also has the team's chest advertisement, so it is willing to give two million euros.

As for the broadcast rights revenue, it also gained a lot of attention with the team's excellent performance in the Coppa Italia, and De Laurentiis and Marino took the opportunity to sign at a high position.

What Gao Shen doesn't know is that there are already 20 or 30 companies contacting Naples. If they want to sign the chest advertisement of the Serie A season, the sponsorship fee must be at least doubled on the existing basis, and it is estimated that they will not be able to grab it. .

Matchday income, one of the three major income sources, has always been the highlight of Naples.

In the two years in the third tier, Napoli has an average of 31,550 fans per game. This attendance rate is only comparable to the Milan duo, Roma duo and Fiorentina, and not even Juventus. arrive.

This season, the three Coppa Italia games are full, and the supply of Serie B tickets this season is also in short supply. Every game is sold out in advance. .

With such a home attendance rate, even in Serie A, perhaps only the Milan duo can barely keep pace.

If it's just a high attendance rate, that's fine. Who doesn't want to sell at a low price? The key is that Napoli's season tickets and ball tickets are not cheap, they are similar to Juventus, and they are the only one in Serie B.

According to market research, if Napoli enters Serie A next season, the price of season tickets and ball tickets for Naples can completely surpass that of Roma and Lazio, and are on par with Milan.

On this one, Napoli is a lot more than other Italian teams.

You must know that Naples is the largest city in southern Italy, and there is only one Naples. It is more than enough to support this team, and De Laurentiis has enough contacts and connections here. He has a meal in Hollywood in the United States. , it is clear how to play this capital game.

Marino understood what Gao Shen was saying to him, so he stood up from his seat and looked directly at Gao Shen.

"You can rest assured, Gao, I assure you that my boss and I will strictly abide by the contract, but if you want to sell someone, I will let you know in advance and make preparations. As for the treatment of players, you also Don't worry, we will cooperate within a reasonable range."

De Laurentiis was not in Italy recently, and went to the United States to deal with some things, but he also explained before leaving.

Marino is very clear that high depth is the core competitiveness of Naples now, and no matter what, it can't be treated badly.

This is the uncle, you have to make an offering!

...

...

After talking with the management, Gao Shen had nothing to think about.

As Ancelotti said, there should be no one to start against Naples for the time being.

If you really want to do it, it must be a transfer to the winter break or next summer.

For the time being, the team is safe.

So in the next few days, Gao Shen will still go to Fort Volturno to check in and go to work every day, and have a good chat with this group of future stars when he has nothing to do. Prepare for future autobiographical material.

This is also a very good way to get rich after retiring.

In terms of training, since Pellet failed to participate in the Italian National Youth Team, he stayed in the team for training, and Gao Shen let him continue to open up a small stove, focusing on training his ability as a support-type center, helping him to further enlighten and tap his potential.

Obviously, the direction must be right, and Pellet's progress is also very fast.

However, this two-week national team match day made Gao Shen see that he had committed a very serious problem.

In other words, it was something he hadn't thought of before and ignored.

That's the back and forth of the players.

There are too many South American players, so they have to run back and forth every time they are on the national team game day, which consumes a lot of players.

Even if they are young, they are still problematic.

This will definitely affect the league weekend after the national team game day.

And this weekend will usher in the Serie B debut, or at home.

When Gao Shen thought of this, UU Reading couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

The wise have a thousand thoughts, but in the end, they are still a hundred secrets.

He thought about it a lot, but he missed the issue of the national team game day.

This is also his fault, because I didn't have this trouble when I was a fan before, and I didn't have it when I played Football Manager. As for coaching Real Madrid after crossing the road, in fact, only Zidane participated in a national team game from beginning to end, so, He ignored it.

Eating a cut grows a wiser, next time is really going to learn from experience.

Gao Shen immediately discussed the first round with the coaching staff.

The opponent is Treviso, the relegated team from Serie A last season, and their strength is not bad. Although Naples are playing at home, they must also attract enough attention, plus the influence of too many South American internationals...

Fortunately, they were all players of the National Youth Team. After the game, they all returned to Naples early. The problem was not particularly big. Gao Shen asked Buenaventura to preside over and try to adjust and restore their physical fitness.

In any case, the first shot of Serie B must sound!
