Chapter 480： Don't be superstitious about superstars!

To be honest, it's not so easy to see the profound side now.

Because he is too busy.

Liu Wenda made the call three days ago, but it was not until tonight that Gao Shen took advantage of the afternoon game to find time to meet them in the evening, and the UAE side was obviously very sincere.

Or, they didn't intend to give Gao Shen a chance to refuse.

Emirates invited Gao Shen as a global ambassador, and the price was very high, reaching five million euros per year.

What Gao Shen needs to pay is to take the time to shoot two advertisements for Emirates every year, regularly attend events organized by Emirates every year, and at the same time cooperate with Emirates to promote and promote on the Internet.

In addition, it is very important that Gao Shen must maintain a positive image of himself.

If it is said that Emirates still needs to do something advanced, then the money from the Emirates Tourism Authority will be better earned.

Gao Shen only needs to go to the Middle East and the United Arab Emirates to shoot a tourism promotion advertisement, and then he can take 5 million euros at one time.

The estimated shooting time is two days, and all the expenses incurred during the whole process are all the responsibility of the UAE Tourism Authority.

Gao Shen really didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to give him money these days, or a huge sum of money.

The point is, all this money is after tax.

That is to say, all taxes are paid by the UAE, and Gao Shen is only responsible for taking the money and leaving.

This is also the way that many celebrity endorsements are used. After all, taxation is too troublesome.

Even Gaoshen, when negotiating salary and annual salary, basically talks about the after-tax price.

Judging from the quotation, the UAE came well prepared, and did not intend to give Gao Shen a chance to refuse, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

…

Mubarak specially came to Naples from the UK, and he stayed for three or four days. He definitely didn't just want to meet with Gao Shen, exchange phone numbers, and satisfy his so-called psychology.

When he said this, let alone profound, he didn't believe it himself.

After talking about "serious" things, Mubarak also began to have the opportunity to interject.

This rather tall Arab speaks English very well. It is said that this has a lot to do with his studying in the United States.

Since taking over Manchester City at the end of September, Mubarak has never found the right way to run Manchester City.

According to what he said, tens of millions of pounds were thrown in, without a sound being heard.

Not only did I not hear it, but Manchester City's large-scale burning of money also burned a lot of side effects.

First of all, many teams in the Premier League, including the Premier League, are concerned about Manchester City's finances; secondly, players like Robinho basically regret when they come to Manchester City, and there are a lot of problems; Mark Hughes is also a big trouble , Knowing that his ability is limited, but there are no big-name coaches in Manchester City who are willing to take over.

This is not surprising.

If there was a big-name coach willing to take over Manchester City, the Blue Moon would have removed Mark Hughes long ago.

Therefore, Mubarak had a doubt in his heart.

"Mr. Gao, I would like to ask, why is it also burning money, we Manchester City and Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and other giants will get two completely different evaluations?" Mubarak felt very puzzled.

In fact, what he wants to know more is, how do you view Manchester City in the inner circle of the head coach?

Looking at European football, not many are qualified to answer this question.

At least a coach at the Champions League knockout level.

Or, coaches who are eligible to participate in the UEFA Elite Coaches Summit.

Gao Shen looked at Mubarak, thought about it, and said, "Want to hear the truth?"

"certainly."

"I've heard a lot of people mentioning Manchester City, and it's basically the same as the reaction of the media and fans, with mixed reviews. So, where did the bad reviews come from?"

Mubarak was also curious.

"Actually, it's very simple. You moved someone else's cake."

After a pause, Gao Shen explained: "It's like the transfer last summer, when you made a move and robbed Robinho, do you think Chelsea will feel comfortable? Especially now, Chelsea lacks wide players, they are sure in their hearts. Thinking, if Robinho hadn't been taken by Manchester City, then..."

Gao Shen spread his hands innocently.

"Also, your grades are not good, so you have to poach at high prices. Otherwise, players are unwilling to go. This is a normal economic behavior, but inevitably, those teams that do not want to lose players will have to pay a higher price. To keep players, higher salaries, higher bonuses.”

"Those teams that compete with you for players also have to pay a higher price."

"Don't expect these people, these teams, to have a good opinion of you, not to mention that there are already too many high-level players in the transfer market, and the giant teams are rushing. Like a savage, scavenge for stars and strengthen yourself."

"From your standpoint and perspective, that's definitely fine, but from the opponent's standpoint and perspective, they will be disgusted."

"Money, there is never any distinction between good and bad, the difference is only the person who spends the money."

Mubarak was very young, only thirty-one years old, but when he heard the words of a man who was three years younger than him, he really felt enlightened.

Because he is not familiar with European professional football.

"Actually, if Manchester City's performance is good, the situation will be greatly improved, because professional football is to put it bluntly, it is a jungle world where the weak eat the strong, and if you are strong enough to win the championship, people will accept you, but not? Hit him! "

Gao Shen said so much that Mubarak couldn't help clapping his hands.

That's what I want to do!

It's impossible. After spending so much money, you still suffer a lot of grievances, right?

Don't you say that all the money is spent by the uncle?

"When I first arrived in the UK, people from the City of London let me know more about Chelsea. They all felt that Chelsea was a model for a team from a nouveau riche to a quasi-rich, or even a wealthy team." Mubarak is not without envy said.

Now Chelsea has basically been recognized.

Why?

Two league titles, plus the Champions League runner-up, are enough to give Chelsea a firm foothold in the ranks of the giants.

Of course, the premise is that Abramovich has to be persistent.

"In Abramovich's first season, Ranieri's performance was not ideal. At that time, the whole world was saying that Chelsea was a nouveau riche and Abramovich was a rich man, sarcastic and sarcastic about Chelsea. The media and the fans are overwhelming."

"The situation that Manchester City is facing now is far worse than that of Chelsea back then, because there is already a Chelsea jewel in front, and more importantly, Manchester City's rival Manchester United is at its peak now, plus Liverpool and Arsenal. Teams like Naruto and Tottenham Hotspur, they're all very good."

"Yeah." Mubarak nodded and sighed, "We need one now, a 'Mourinho' belonging to our Manchester City, who can lay a solid foundation for the team and lay the team's entire technical and tactical system."

This is something Mark Hughes can't do anyway.

Even, to a certain extent, he did worse than Ranieri at Chelsea.

Whether Chelsea fans are willing to admit it or not, Mourinho has made a huge contribution to Chelsea.

Without Mourinho's coaching years, in the style of Abramovich, it would take longer for Chelsea to establish a giant seat.

At least now, the vast majority of people basically agree with Chelsea.

Of course, in terms of contribution, it must be Abramovich who made the biggest contribution.

Mubarak also asked some more professional questions. For example, Manchester City wants to establish its own set of technical tactics and youth training system, which inevitably requires poaching, but the premise of poaching, the team needs to have a team. direction.

Which style do you want to learn?

"Learn from Barcelona!" Gao Shen replied without hesitation.

"Barcelona?" Mubarak was a little surprised.

Gao Shen nodded, "Barcelona's system is not easy to learn, nor can it be learned casually, but this is a trend and direction. After the introduction of Barcelona's system, it will be combined with Manchester City's own characteristics and British football's characteristics. According to the situation, localize it, and create a youth training system and technical and tactical style that belongs to Manchester City."

Mubarak understood.

Gao Shen hesitated for a while, then looked at Liu Wenda and the others. For the sake of this large sum of money, he still gave another suggestion.

"Stop believing in superstars!"

Mubarak was obviously taken aback.

"I heard that you have offered Kaka a sky-high price of nearly 100 million pounds and a huge annual salary. I don't think this is a wise choice, because you can use this money to introduce a group of high-level players. , a younger player with potential for development.”

"You can think about it, among the many players Chelsea introduced back then, none of them were big names. Drogba, Essien, Robben, Terry and Lampard all became superstars at Chelsea, which is also Chelsea. One of the reasons why it is accepted by everyone.”

"On the other hand, you look at the big-name superstars Chelsea introduced, Shevchenko, as well as Ballack and Deco in midfield. I can't say that they have no strength, but they are obviously not cost-effective, or even Big loss."

“The current football is all about teamwork. Instead of spending so much money on superstars, it is better to use the superstar’s money to introduce a few high-level players, and then find a high-level head coach to integrate them. Take shape and cultivate your own superstar, this is the road of sustainable development.”

Gao Shen believes that Mark Hughes has become the biggest problem in Manchester City.

Whether it is technical and tactical, or in terms of personal influence and personal charm, he is the biggest shortcoming.

If nothing else, how does Mark Hughes manage Robinho?

The whole general trend of the Premier League now is to learn from the European continent.

From the technical director to the head coach, to the overall technical and tactical style, they are all learning from continental Europe.

Because the Premier League teams also began to find that their management system was too extensive and their technical and tactical styles were too rough.

Manchester United started after Ferguson won the Champions League in 1999, Arsenal hired Wenger, Liverpool experienced Houllier and Benitez successively, Chelsea have always followed the Italian route, and later chose Mourinho. Riño and Scolari.

There are successes and failures in coaching, but the whole Premier League trend is already very obvious.

The advanced technical and tactical concepts brought by foreign coaches, coupled with the influx of capital, and the huge benefits brought by the global promotion of the Premier League, have turned the Premier League into the most competitive and richest technical and tactical combat in the world. field.

If Manchester City wants to succeed, they have to keep up with this wave.
