Chapter 544： This guy is so evil!

Still at Casa Juan, but Florentino didn't come.

There was a meeting at his company that night, and Zidane, Valdano and Butragueno conveyed his greetings.

In fact, Gao Shen knew that Florentino was unwilling to meet him at this time.

It's normal. Maybe the new president of Real Madrid is holding his breath now, and he can't eat when he comes.

Five people, not wanting to be disturbed, asked for a separate box on the second floor, closed the door and chatted while eating.

The topic naturally falls on the recent news, Manchester City poaching the core of Tottenham's midfield, and Croatian midfielder Luka Modric has failed.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Gao Shen was full of depression.

"According to the assessment of the transfer market, Luka Modric's transfer assessment price is 16.5 million euros, we started from 25 million euros and kept adding to the full 45 million euros. Millions of euros, Tottenham Hotspur didn't give up."

"In 2008, when they introduced Modric, they only spent 20 million euros. Now it has doubled, and they are still not satisfied." Gao Shen said at the end, he was helpless.

Zidane, Valdano and Butragueno looked at each other and laughed in unison.

"Only 45 million? Isn't it said that it is 50 million outside?"

"Fuck, if you don't talk about 45 million, will you talk about 50 million?" Gao Shen was a little angry.

Usually, this type of transfer is based on mutual consent. If you want to raise the price, you must give some appropriate signals, like Tottenham Hotspur, no matter how much you pay, anyway I will It is a unified tone, resolutely not to sell, then there is basically no talk, unless Manchester City encourages Modric to rebel.

But in that case, the relationship between Manchester City and Tottenham will be very bad.

Over the years, the reason why Real Madrid and Valencia have been in such a mess is because of the transfer of Mijatovic.

"Levy is really amazing!" Gao Shen praised.

Levy is the chief executive of Tottenham Hotspur and the man behind it.

This summer, Tottenham sold Darren Bent for 10 million euros and introduced players such as Bassoon, Crouch, Kyle Walker, Norton and Kranica. The overall strength of the team is obvious has picked up.

If at this time, if Modric is sold, although there will be gains in transfer fees, the results will definitely be greatly affected.

Last season, Tottenham only ranked eighth in the Premier League, which is low. This season, it seems to be a wave of results.

When it comes to buying, selling, and selling, Levy is still very smart.

"Actually, the whole of Europe now knows that Manchester City has money, so when you buy people, you suffer a lot. This is the same as Real Madrid." Butragueno persuaded.

Gao Shen nodded, this is actually impossible.

If you stand in 2021 and look back, Tottenham Hotspur is definitely a model template for transforming from an ordinary team to a strong team. The North London team climbed up step by step, but this process , they spent more than ten years.

A team like Manchester City either learns from Tottenham or can only be a Kai.

Just like Modric, if you have to ask for it, you can definitely buy it, but it must be an amazing price, which will become very dangerous.

On the one hand, players are under great psychological pressure, and on the other hand, there will be problems inside the club's locker room.

This is the so-called virtue mismatch.

Therefore, Gao Shen did not force Modric any more, but turned to Valencia.

The Bat Legion is under great financial pressure now, and it is definitely a model of high quality and low price.

David Silva's transfer market estimate is 23 million euros. Guess, what is the price given by the Bat Legion?

25 million euros!

This is considered a conscience price in a star transfer transaction.

But this is related to the financial pressure of Valencia, there is no way to force it.

Gao Shen ran Valencia to meet with the executives of the Bat Legion, and called David Silva again, and the deal was basically finalized. For Gao Shen and Manchester City, it was better than poaching Modric. more appropriate.

However, Gao Shen is not a good person.

Modric could not dig, he immediately turned the gun and signed Welsh left-back Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur for 15 million euros.

The young player was originally transferred from Southampton to Tottenham for 6.5 million euros, but there are many contract terms in it. In the past two years, Tottenham has added 13 million euros to his transfer fee.

But Gareth Bell's performance in Tottenham is also indescribable. Since joining Tottenham in 2007, Gareth Bell has played 24 Premier League games for Tottenham in the past two seasons, and eight games last season. , 16 games last season, including 18 starts and 6 substitutes.

As a result, in these 24 games, Tottenham has nine draws and fifteen losses, and a winless game!

In the season he first joined, Bell performed better, scoring two goals and assisting once in eight games.

In this case, the Welsh's worth has basically not increased.

After poaching Modric failed, Manchester City signed Gareth Bale from Tottenham at a price slightly higher than the transfer fee that year.

This can be regarded as Gao Shen asking for a little compensation from Redknapp.

As for Modric, Gao Shen is indeed coveted for a long time, but he also has to think more.

After signing Rakitic, David Luiz, Hazard, Neuer, Suarez, David Silva, Gary Cahill and Gareth Bale successively, Manchester City have already been in the transfer market. The investment is close to 200 million euros.

That's 200 million euros!

Even if Mansour and Mubarak promised Gao Shen that there would be no upper limit on the transfer budget, Gao Shen must also be carefully weighed.

Not to mention, he has to bring in a No. 4 and a left-back, while also eyeing a Real Madrid player.

As a result, Manchester City's investment will reach an astonishing figure.

A high-level preliminary estimate is at least 250 million euros.

...

The topic gradually shifted from Manchester City and Tottenham to Real Madrid.

Especially after this summer, after investing more than 300 million euros, Real Madrid has almost created a luxury lineup that is the best in European football. It is also the only team in European football today that can compete with Barcelona in lineup. team.

Gao Shen is now the head coach of Manchester City. He did not intend to discuss too much about Real Madrid, but Zidane, Valdano and Butragueno could not bear repeated consultations. They seemed to come with a mission.

Maybe Florentino wants to know.

"If you want me to say, yes, but we have to negotiate the terms first. The consultation fee is that you have to promise to help me a little later."

The three of Zidane knew his character for a long time, and they all agreed immediately.

"Frankly speaking, with Real Madrid's current lineup, there is still a chance to compete in the league, but if you want to compete for the Champions League, I think it is enough."

As soon as Gao Shen's words fell, the three of Zidane were obviously a little surprised.

They have doubts about Real Madrid's current lineup, but they are not as pessimistic as Gao Shen.

"Tell me carefully," Zidane said.

"I don't believe I will say much about the distribution of the ball, playing time and other issues. You all know it well. I believe that Pellegrini has the ability to deal with these obvious problems before the season, but the real problem is that the midfielder's There is a serious lack of control.”

"The whole central axis, the central defender is not a big problem, and the striker is not a big problem, but the midfield problem is too big, Kaka must start, Xavi Alonso must also start, then Who is the one left?"

"Las Diarra can provide the team's defense, he is one of the best defensive midfielders in La Liga now, but he can't improve the control of the midfield, can't hold the ball, including Kaka and Xavi Lonzo, can't even hold the ball."

That's the biggest problem with Real Madrid's midfield right now.

Some people may say, what does it matter if you can't hold the ball?

I'm about to hit a whirlwind, grab the ball when I don't have the ball, and fight back when I grab the ball. What are you afraid of?

Yes, but in this way, the whole game is fast-paced, which is not acceptable.

Offensive, especially positional warfare, must not be a one-shot deal.

In recent years, the defense level of all teams has been greatly improved, which makes the offense easily become a protracted war. One wave of offense does not work, first control the ball, then pour it down, organize another wave, and continue to move towards Pressing and infiltrating the opponent, at the same time pulling more laterally, creating and looking for the opponent's defensive loopholes.

A lateral pull requires control of the ball.

If you can't control the ball and can't get up, you can't talk about pulling horizontally, you can only push vertically.

"The one who wins the midfield wins the world. This sentence has become a famous saying in the current European football, and you can tell me, who does the Real Madrid midfielder rely on to control the ball?"

"Fairy Wood"

Why does Gao Shen say the league has a chance?

Because the league can abuse food.

It doesn't matter if the strong dialogue can't be won, as long as the ability to abuse vegetables is strong enough, there is also a chance.

But the cups will not work, especially the Champions League knockout rounds, this will not work at all.

In the final analysis, what Gao Shen said in Naples before, there is really a problem with Kaka's position.

If Kaka has to play, if you have to have an attacking midfielder, let alone Pellegrini or Mourinho, Gao Shen can't do it himself, because there are only three players in the midfield. What about the next two people?

Especially when Kaka is not involved in the defense, how can the midfield play?

"I have been thinking about it for the past few years, and I have gained a certain harvest. I vaguely caught a line. That feeling can only be understood and cannot be expressed. In my last year in Naples, I have a strong feeling that this team We got results and we ended up winning the treble, and then I'm going to try again with Manchester City."

"If I succeed, then I believe that the feeling will be clearer and stronger, and this will be the winning way for me to coach!" Gao Shen said confidently.

Zidane, Valdano and Butragueno were all surprised.

They have always felt that Gao Shen has progressed very fast, but now, when they heard Gao Shen say this, they found that they still underestimated, and the speed of Gao Shen's progress has far exceeded their expectations.

At only twenty-eight years old, he has already begun to enter the house?

This guy is simply too evil!
