Chapter 239： Professional cake painting for 30 years

"Mr. Rudolph, thank you very much for calling me, bye!"

After Gao Shen hung up the phone in his hand, he exhaled heavily.

This is the first contact phone call you have received in the few days after returning home?

He didn't even do the math, but there were at least five or six, all of which were calls from clubs in Europe's top leagues.

Either the technical director, or the sporting director, or the general manager of the club, or even the chairman.

The call he just hung up was that the chairman of Atlanta, Ivan Rudolph, didn't say anything important, just said that he wanted to invite Gao Shen for a meal, but Gao Shen politely said that he was in China.

He could guess what Ivan Rudolph meant by this call.

It's not difficult to guess at all, even when other clubs call, some expressly say, some imply, they all mean the same thing anyway.

They are going to change coaches, and Gao Shen has entered their coach selection range and wants to know the level of interest in Gao Shen.

This is a normal routine.

Many people think that choosing a coach for a team is like flipping a brand by an emperor. In fact, that is wrong. Before they fully grasp it, they will not easily make a move, because even if they make a move, they can't talk about anything at all. Just like you go to the 4th store to buy a car, they can't give you the reserve price until you have the determination to give money on the spot.

Usually, the club will first contact the agent, through the agent to understand the intention of the head coach.

Both parties have certain intentions, and it is basically determined that they can cooperate. Let’s make an appointment to sit down and discuss in depth.

It can be said that if the two sides sit down and talk, generally there will be no surprises.

So there will be what the media said, who the head coach of a certain club is eating with, then it is basically a done deal.

The difference between Gao Shen and other head coaches is that he doesn't have an agent, so the phone calls come directly to him.

This is also the result of his careful consideration.

On the one hand, it is difficult to find an agent, and it is even more difficult to contact a reliable agent. He knows that such agents as Mendes and Raiola are very good, but it is impossible to take the initiative to find them and tell them, come here Be my agent?

Isn't that silly?

Besides, having a broker does not mean it is convenient.

For example, Mourinho, where he goes, Mendes' players follow, is it a coincidence?

Therefore, Gao Shen is not considering finding an agent at least for the time being.

As for things at the commercial level, Gao Shen can completely entrust a professional company to take care of it. It can be done without a broker, and there is one less middleman to draw commissions.

Of course, the disadvantage is that, as now, calls are made directly to his mobile phone

"I miss my mate40Pro!" Gao Shen looked at the brick Nokia in front of him, shook his head and sighed.

Dual card dual standby is cool!

"Which team came to you to coach again?"

Seeing Gao Shen come back, as a die-hard fan, Su Zhijun couldn't stop the spirit of gossip and asked.

"Atlanta." Gao Shen smiled.

"Whoops, eighth in Serie A last season, incredible." Su Zhijun was excited.

Anyone can see that Gao Shen's current coaching career is thriving and going up step by step.

"Atlanta's new season is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary. They want to take a gamble and rush into the European theater, but last season's coach Colantono climbed a step higher and went to Palermo after his outstanding performance in coaching. .

After Palermo fired coach Guidolin last season, they also contacted Gao Shen. That was two or three months ago, but Gao Shen politely declined at that time, saying that he was determined to achieve results in Naples. It was after Gao Shen's resignation that Palermo chose Colantono, and Atlanta, who lost its head coach, came to him again.

Going around in circles, this is very common in the top European leagues, because there are not many really top managers.

Top coaches, like top teams, are scarce!

In addition to Palermo and Atalanta, there are actually many other teams that have contacted Gao Shen one after another, such as Parma.

After the thrilling relegation last season, Parma contacted Gao Shen and wanted to dig him from Naples to Parma, but was also politely declined by Gao Shen.

He is now focused on Napoli, he wants to lead the team in the new Serie A season.

Especially Inter Milan.

Zero to three hatred, he has to personally avenge it!

"I have a question. According to domestic media reports, don't they all say that the Italian media are desperately attacking you and accusing you? Then why are so many teams coming to you?" Su Zhijun was very puzzled.

Gao Shen was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that it was 2007, and it was far from 2021.

What is the domestic environment in 2007?

Not to mention that the foreign media attacked so profoundly, even domestic, many media and public officials also followed suit.

why?

The moon abroad is rounder than the moon at home!

Even some domestic media are using the "secrets" that foreign tabloids don't know how many hands they don't know, and hype it up in China.

Gao Shen is also used to this.

"Actually, if you think about it this way, the media and football are interdependent and can be regarded as mutual use, but the media pursues the eyeball economy. What they want is sales and attention. When I hold the sky and step on you, I wish I could destroy your humanity.

"The feelings of fans are very simple. They are often affected by media reports, and even many times, they are guided by subtle influences, and they don't know why they like someone or why they don't."

"But the club invests real money, they operate there with tens of thousands of euros every year, and they are the most honest.

Su Zhijun suddenly realized.

"It's like buying a house. You see, the Internet is full of news that house prices are about to collapse and that house prices are too high, but think about it, if you have money now, besides investing in business, what do you want to do?"

Su Zhijun pondered for a while, and found that Gao Shen's words were quite reasonable.

Not only him, but even Su Qing showed a thoughtful look.

With money, in addition to investing in business, the biggest idea is to buy a house.

This is actually a replica of the story of "I Really Have a Cow".

Never listen to what others say, but watch what he does.

Too many people say no with their mouths, but their bodies are very honest.

"Then you plan to stay in Naples?" Su Zhijun asked with concern after he understood.

"I have been preparing carefully for half a year. Even from the day I coached Naples, I was waiting for Serie A. You said, would I choose to leave at this time?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.

"No, of course not, not so stupid." Su Zhijun laughed.

Behind him, Su Qing looked at Gao Shen deeply, both familiar and unfamiliar.

She and Gao Shen grew up together, but to her, Gao Shen was more like a childhood playmate and friend.

In the community and in the school, many people say that they like each other, but in fact they don't.

She didn't like the former high-level, but after coming back last year, he seemed to be a completely different person.

This is not because he has become famous, but because he used to be very timid and low-key, hesitant to do things, without the slightest sense of responsibility, but now he is always full of self-confidence, speaking and doing things can always be convincing, giving people a sense of security feel.

This was something that Gao Shen had never seen before.

After returning from outside, Gao Shen counted the time and made a phone call to Marino, who was far away in Naples. He kept in touch with Europe every day. This was one of Gao Shen's tasks.

He needs to keep abreast of the latest market conditions.

Marino will also keep abreast of the latest developments, especially the movement of the transfer market.

The biggest headache for the general manager of Naples is that there are too many teams poaching Naples.

"I feel now that we are not holding the players, but the euro, which everyone loves!" Marino almost cried.

This is so dangerous!

Arsenal sent a fax asking for the price, Roma called directly to inquire, and Juventus even arranged for someone to come to the door to talk...

"My God, you don't know how busy our office is now!"

After listening to Gao Shen, he laughed.

Actually, it's not surprising.

Do you really think Naples have players in their hands?

No, it's all money!

In professional football, players are the most valuable.

"You should think so, this just proves our strength So, now we should no longer doubt, I told you before, we are going to play a big game in Serie A in the new season, right?"

"I believe, take it!" Marino was convinced on the phone.

"However, Gao, it's not the way to continue like this. We can stop it, and the players may not be able to withstand the temptation."

"Don't worry, I've talked to them before, so there shouldn't be any problems. If they transfer, they will be the first to notify me, but it's you, you have to stabilize Delao. If he's tempted, you can ask him. , Do you still want the Serie A championship?"

The voice of Marino laughing came from the phone, which startled Gao Shen.

Nima, can you not be so surprised?

Also, if you laugh so hard, let's stop laughing, okay?

"Let me tell you, when it comes to painting flat cakes, it's still your profession, and the boss has to accept it!" Marino admired it even more.

Some teams' asking prices are really good, and De Laurentiis is not completely unimpressed, but the big cake of Gao Shen was there, the Serie A champion, do you want to?

Who doesn't want to?

So now, the Germans basically don't come out to meet people.

why?

For fear of being careless, I couldn't hold back!

"By the way, Gao, when are you coming back?" Marino asked with concern. He had to invite Gao Shen for a good meal, and by the way, he asked for advice on how to manage the boss's way upwards.

Before, he secretly asked Gao Shen, but when it came to the clouds, he only knew it but didn't know why.

A little bit theoretically, but not technically.

Still a professional

"I'll be back in two days, but I have to go to Barcelona first."

"What are you going to do in Barcelona?"

"Meet a friend and dig a player by the way." Gao Shen smiled maliciously.
