One Hundred and Fifty-Five, Come to Naples!
Popular recommendation:
The second time Gao Shen met De Laurentiis was at noon the next day he met Juventus.
De Laurentiis rushed from Italy with Marino, arrived in Madrid in the morning, and invited Gao Shen to have lunch non-stop at noon, giving people a feeling of can't wait.
Unlike the last time we met in China, De Laurentiis seemed to be a different person this time.
Although it was difficult to conceal his rebellious temperament, he obviously tried to restrain himself as much as possible, and his tone of speech was much gentler.
Moreover, unlike the last time we met, De Laurentiis's speech was different, this time Marino obviously had more opportunities to speak.
The technical director in Naples is actually quite capable, and he did a pretty good job in Udinese in Serie A before.
Over the years, Udinese has always been the way to survive by buying low and selling high. This requires a very high operational ability of the technical director, and Marino has created a set of operating mechanisms for Udinese that have proven to be very successful. .
But it was such a talent who was dug into Naples by De Laurentiis.
Combined with what Saki said before, Gao Shen couldn't help but have a better understanding of De Laurentiis.
Is this old man really as domineering, powerful and outspoken as he appears on the surface?
Or, his life is like a play, all relying on acting skills?
...
Contrary to the unpleasantness of the last meeting, the atmosphere of this meal is very harmonious.
Marino spoke in a very humorous way, mobilizing the atmosphere of the dinner very well, and De Laurentiis spoke in moderation, without any domineering personal performance, which made Gao Shen a little suspicious. I saw it in China before, Is it real De Laurentiis?
Throughout the meal, De Laurentiis and Marino never mentioned anything about football, but Gao Shen could feel that they were trying to figure out what he was thinking right now.
But Gao Shen is no rookie, he knows how to deal with such temptations, and he resists every time without leaking.
This made De Laurentiis and Marino on the opposite side somewhat unpredictable.
Does Gao Shen already "belong"?
If so, then there is no need for them to continue talking.
But Gao Shen always maintains an ambiguous and ambiguous attitude, specious, just does not give an accurate statement, just like a scumbag, which makes Marino on the opposite side grab his bald head from time to time.
Finally, De Laurentiis couldn't hold his breath anymore.
"Okay, let me just say it straight!" De Laurentiis's domineering finally leaked out.
Gao Shen always nodded calmly, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"I know, you met people from Juventus yesterday."
When Gao Shen heard it, he was a little surprised, "Where did you get the news from?"
Did Juventus leak it on purpose?
"Don't think about it. Although Juventus is downgraded now, it still has a great influence in Italian football. A reporter photographed Blanco and Seco flying to Madrid. I guess, just to meet you." De Laurentiis had the confident look of you don't want to hide from me.
Only then did Gao Shen feel a little relieved, and did not hide anything, nodded, and acquiesced.
This made it difficult for De Laurentiis to speak.
He can't ask Gao Shen directly: Hey, buddy, how are you talking with Juventus?
That's too stupid, how can I get an answer?
"I don't know what Juventus talked about with you, but I still want to persuade you that Juventus is not a good place to go." De Laurentiis changed his way and said in a tactful and persuasive tone .
I have to say that this old guy is really a filmmaker, he can come up with all kinds of expressions, how to act and how to look like.
"How to say?" Gao Shen was unmoved, and asked lightly.
"After Juventus was relegated to the second division, the loss of players was very serious. Most of the capable players basically decided to leave the team. The Bianconeri has long been no longer the previous Serie A giants, and the ones left are some big players. ,
You just jumped out of the big pit of Real Madrid, and you will fall back into the pit of Juventus as soon as you turn around? "
Gao Shen's heart was obviously moved when he heard it.
Needless to say, what De Laurentiis said made a lot of sense.
Not to mention anything else, Buffon, Nedved, Trezeguet and other players all said they want to stay in the team. This is a good thing, but the question is, can Gao Shen control them?
Juventus' relegation to Serie B will pay more attention to these meritorious veterans. Between Gao Shen and veterans, they will abandon Gao Shen without hesitation, no matter how good they promised before the season.
When he was a fan, Gao Shen also liked players like Nedved and Buffon very much, but the problem is that everyone is the same. When it comes to their own interests, no one is good.
This is actually a big challenge for coaching giants.
Although I thought so in my heart, Gao Shen still smiled calmly on the surface, "You know, if I can manage Real Madrid's dressing room well, I won't be afraid of Juventus. Compared with Real Madrid's superstars, Juventus's These players are still very talkative."
"As for strength, this is not a problem for me. Selling a large number of players in exchange for a large sum of money, I can just invest in the transfer operation and use this to introduce the players I need. It's great!"
De Laurentiis and Marino glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Gao Shen to make such a statement.
Could it be that he really negotiated with Juventus?
De Laurentiis shook his head and said: "If you think so, you are wrong. Juventus will not invest a lot of money in the transfer market. Not only will the club not invest, but the Fiat consortium behind it will also not invest. .”
"How to say?" Gao Shen was still very calm.
Because, he doesn't want to coach Juventus at all now.
"The Fiat consortium is not as good as it used to be, and now the consortium is in deep crisis, so when John Elkann and Ferrari President Montezemolo dealt with the phone call, the first thing they thought of was not Juventus, but It's the Fiat Group."
"For them, it doesn't matter what Juventus is doing now. The most important thing is to let Fiat Group's performance recover as soon as possible and get rid of the current business difficulties. You must know that Montezemolo made Juventus give up the appeal. That's why he was sent to the Second Division."
Gao Shen nodded, "You're right, but there is one way of operating with more transfer fees, and another way of operating with less transfer fees."
The implication is: I understand everything you say, but don't worry, I can handle it all!
De Laurentiis frowned, he really didn't expect Gao Shen to be unmoved by this.
He is good at observing words and expressions, and at a glance, he can tell that Gao Shen is not panicking at all.
This is unreasonable.
Even if he did not reach a consensus with Juventus, he must be interested in Juventus, so there is no reason not to respond.
Unless, he really has strong self-confidence and can overcome all problems by himself.
But it doesn't matter, he still has the final killer move.
"Have you ever heard of Giampiero Boniperti?" asked De Laurentiis.
Gao Shen was taken aback for a moment, frowned and thought for a while before finally remembering, "The honorary chairman of Juventus?"
"Yes, then do you know what is the relationship between Alessio Seco and Boniperti?"
Gao Shen was stunned, are these two related?
Looking at his age, is Seko the illegitimate son of Boniperti?
But Gao Shen quickly denied his wild thinking, shook his head, and said that he didn't know.
"Alessio Seco's father is an accountant and Boniperti's confidant for many years. Seco has no skills. He entered Juventus through Boniperti back then. He did not have any real power. Press officer, purely for a job."
"But in this Juventus turmoil, Boniperti's honorary chairmanship is still respected. Alessio Seco has changed from a press officer to a sports director. All of us know , he doesn't understand football at all."
[To be honest, I have been using Mimi to read and update books recently, switch sources, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple are fine. 】
Gao Shen really suddenly realized something.
"You think, Juventus's new Big Three, Alessio Seco holds the most powerful and richest sports director, but he is the least capable; Jean-Claude Bou Ranco is a member of John Elkann, representing the Fiat Group, originally he was going to be the chairman, but the shareholders chose Geely, the owner of the supermarket chain."
De Laurentiis had a bit of arrogance to point out Jiangshan, and after he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and gestured a few times in front of Gao Shen, and said, "We don't have any real evidence, but you can think about it, what is the relationship between these three people? "
It was at this moment that Gao Shen finally understood why Seko targeted him so much.
This is probably not only his meaning, but also the meaning of some interest groups behind him.
To put it bluntly, as De Laurentiis said, the position of sports director is too lucrative, and the transfer of several million euros is easy. Holding this position is a huge benefit.
No wonder Seko messed up the negotiations directly.
In the final analysis, I still want too much.
"Thank you, Mr. De Laurentiis, I understand." Gao Shen nodded his thanks with a smile.
De Laurentiis and Marino looked at each other and laughed.
"So, you don't plan to go to Juventus?" Marino asked with concern.
Gao Shen shook his head, "I never said, I'm going to Juventus."
Both De Laurentiis and Marino's smiles froze.
Nima, why don't you go and let me talk so much?
"Didn't you meet Blanco and Seko yesterday?" De Laurentiis asked.
"See you, but they have reservations about my request and say they need to think about it." Gao Shen said half-truthfully.
The two people on the opposite side looked at each other again, so they were still talking, and there was still a chance.
"And now?" De Laurentiis asked concerned.
"What you said really made me hesitate, so I will talk to them again, and some clauses must be able to be implemented in the contract." Gao Shen replied lightly, looking very frank.
De Laurentiis and Marino were a little anxious.
Compared to Juventus, Naples has no advantage at all.
If Gao Shen is allowed to talk to Juventus again, Naples will have no hope at all.
"In this way, no matter what conditions they promise you, I can agree to you, and you can make your request, and we can also agree to let you participate in transfer and contract negotiations, and build the team according to your wishes."
De Laurentiis obviously didn't want to have long nights and dreams.
"Come to Naples!"
