Two Hundred and Forty-Seven, Asking Prices All over the Sky, and Paying Back the Money on the Ground

When Gao Shen arrived at the headquarters office in Naples, De Laurentiis and Marino were already waiting for him in the conference room.

Both of them looked quite anxious, and when they saw Gao Shen knocking on the door and coming in, they immediately found their backbone.

Before Gao Shen arrived, De Laurentiis was the undisputed leader in Naples, but after Gao Shen came, De Laurentiis' right to speak in football affairs was severely weakened.

Especially after the excellent record last season.

"The latest news is that Arsenal raised their offer to 10 million euros."

As soon as Gao Shen sat down, Marino reported the latest situation.

Napoli have already turned down three offers from Arsenal, but it looks like the Gunners are determined.

"Wenger is determined to poach my corner." Gao Shen smiled wryly, he didn't even know that his enmity with Wenger was so deep.

Is it because he robbed him of a Champions League runner-up?

"You just said that Gervinho called you?" De Laurentiis asked with concern.

Gao Shen nodded, "He told me that he wanted to leave the team and hoped that I would let him go."

De Laurentiis' face changed when he heard it, and he cursed directly, feeling that Gervinho was a bit of a white-eyed wolf.

The club has promised to give him a salary increase. Although it may not be as high as the salary offered by Arsenal, it is not like this, right?

"Actually, I understand him." Gao Shen said lightly.

Both De Laurentiis and Marino were a little surprised.

understand him?

This is to let him go?

The two big men looked at each other in blank dismay, both of them were somewhat unpredictable.

"He said he didn't like the football environment in Italy and he wanted to go to Arsenal. I didn't agree, but I said I would consider it."

De Laurentiis was still a little angry.

In the past year, due to Gao Shen and Naples, coupled with Gervinho's outstanding performance, he has been attacked and even racially discriminated against by opponent fans. This is actually quite normal in Italy.

Just like Gao Shen, he received warm greetings from opponent fans in almost every game, and racial discrimination was repeatedly banned. Even the Italian Football Association could only turn a blind eye to this.

Grasp? How to catch?

As for the penalty, I am afraid that the entire Italian team will have to be punished again, including Naples.

So, this kind of thing really can only rely on patience and carrying,

If you can't bear it, that's something you can't help.

"Gao, what's your attitude now?" Marino asked with concern.

Gao Shen nodded and said, "Let him go!"

He had figured it out on the plane back.

The twisted melon is not sweet, and using Di Maria to replace Gervinho is also planned by Gao Shen early on.

Gervinho has good strength, but his physical fitness is too poor to meet the advanced requirements.

He was one of our best players last season. ’ Marino reminded.

"So," Gao Shen looked at the general manager and said firmly, "Even if you want to sell it, you can't sell it casually, otherwise, other teams will think that we run a supermarket, and they will all rush in to grab people, so we will Ransacked."

Although it is a joke to stare at Gao Shen and grab people, but it cannot be ruled out that some teams will do so.

There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?

At that time, those tentacles who poach corners will directly talk to the players, and there is no guarantee that the players will not be tempted.

"Instead of being stared at like this, it's better to be more ruthless. If you want to buy it, you can meet our asking price. As long as you have money, you are not afraid that you will not be able to buy good players. If two or three players are poached, Naples will collapse. Then I used to A year is wasted!"

In the end, Gao Shen has become very confident and determined.

"Well said!" De Laurentiis praised, "If you poach someone, you have to pay the price!"

"What about the supplementary candidates?" Marino asked with concern.

If Gervinho is really sold, Naples will only have two generals on the wing, Di Maria and Sanchez.

And the newly joined Callejon and Mertens.

Gao Shen was also prepared for this.

"You immediately contact Villarreal in La Liga. They have a player named Antonio Valencia, a player from Ecuador in South America. He was loaned to Wigan in the Premier League last season. Wigan is currently negotiating with Villarreal. Rent, you go and buy him, it is estimated to be about 1.5 million euros.

Antonio Valencia, Manchester United is not laughing.

I believe that fans who are familiar with Manchester United will not be unfamiliar with him. This is a controversial player.

First of all, everyone recognizes his attitude and feelings for Manchester United, but his ability can be described as mixed.

If you just look at the time, it is not difficult to find that Ferguson actually introduced him as the successor of Cristiano Ronaldo, and he is to make up for the role of President Luo.

And what was the role of President Luo at Manchester United at that time?

scorer?

No, this is the result.

The reason why President Luo performed by leaps and bounds in the next two or three seasons at Manchester United is because Ferguson has figured out a set of tactics that can maximize his advantages and at the same time integrate Manchester United.

So in those years, Manchester United's performance was exceptionally good, and the whole team was adjusted to the optimal solution.

That is, through the pull and movement of the frontcourt players, create a gap for President Luo to penetrate into the penalty area obliquely, and then display President Luo's amazing explosive power and speed, directly inserting into the key position of the penalty area to create a threat.

Valencia's speed is also very amazing.

From 2006, he led Ecuador to the World Cup, and his performance in Wigan, in fact, he is not a pure wing player,

Dribbling the ball into the ribs is also his forte, but his biggest weakness is that his left foot is almost useless.

The famous commentator Zhan Jun once commented on the Premier League in China: Everyone in Europe knows that Valencia will go to the right. Can't stop him.

This kind of evaluation has also appeared on another one-legged maniac, and that is Robben.

Gao Shen once heard such a saying before traveling: If Valencia hadn't broken his leg, he would be one of the top wingers in Europe.

This is the level of Antonio Valencia!

And this player is still depressed, waiting for an opportunity.

Both De Laurentiis and Marino were already used to this advanced style of doing things, and even got used to his surprising words, but they were still surprised at this moment.

A player he mentioned casually, a player who couldn't even play in Villarreal and was loaned to Wigan and couldn't play the main player, can replace Gervinho's position?

Faced with the worries of De Lao and Marino, Gao Shen smiled and asked, "How much did Gervinho cost us back then?"

De Laurentiis looked at Marino, who knew best what he was doing.

"600,000 euros or so." Marino didn't remember the details clearly, and it's been a year.

"Then look, I expect Valencia to cost twice the price, tell me, can it be replaced?" Gao Shen asked cheerfully.

The Germans and Marino understand that the higher the price for the introduction of players by the head coach, the stronger the proof, is that what it means?

But soon, De Laurentiis couldn't laugh anymore.

why?

Because Arsenal is now offering 10 million euros to the 20-year-old Gervinho, that is to say, if the transfer of the Ivorian is successful,

If the price difference reached more than 10 million euros, Gao Shen would have to share 2 million euros.

Heartache!

This should have belonged to the club.

He really wanted to smack himself to death. Why did he show off his brain at the beginning, and wanted to formulate some punishment mechanism for him?

The result is good, not to mention the fine, but also lost a lot of money.

Naples provides a platform, pays salaries and bonuses to players, and provides various training facilities and coaching staff members. Only then can they enjoy 80% of the price difference, and Gao Shen is like the emperor choosing a concubine. to make.

He is so sad!

But his sadness can only be buried deep in his heart, because he knows that Gao Shen is helping him and Naples to make money, even a lot of money.

However, at the thought of sharing 20% ​​of the profits, he felt as if a knife was piercing his heart!

Thinking about it, De Laurentiis stared at Marino with knife-like eyes.

However, Marino hadn't noticed anything strange, and was still chatting with Gao Shenre about how to drive up Wenger's offer.

Gao Shen discussed the countermeasures with the two big brothers.

He has reached an agreement with Gervinho. Regardless of whether he agrees with Gervinho's departure, the players cannot cooperate with the opposing club to exert pressure.

The Ivorian also agreed.

Therefore, Gao Shen discussed with De Laurentiis and Marino a strategy to increase the price.

The next day, De Laurentiis revealed in an interview with the local media in Naples that he had indeed received an offer from a Premier League team, but it was seriously lacking in sincerity and Naples had already rejected it.

"Chelsea introduced Malouda from Ligue 1 Lyon and paid 20 million euros. I don't think Gervinho is worse than Malouda!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Italian football circle was surprised.

Malouda is worth 20 million euros, and Gervinho is no worse than Malouda. Does it cost 20 million euros?

At the same time, De Laurentiis opened his mouth and revealed that at least three Serie A giants are asking for Gervinho.

"I won't tell you which three teams they are, but I can be sure that they are all interested in Gervinho and are actively contacting us."

After that, De Laurentiis stated that he had revealed too much, so he couldn't say any more and kept it secret.

This made Gao Shen who saw the report dumbfounded.

Do you think that if you don't mention your name, people won't know that you ordered Inter Milan, Roma and Juventus?

Hasn't this been reported by the media before?

These three companies have indeed had contact with Naples, but they all feel that Naples' asking price is too high.

The current Serie A does not have such a high spending power.

Juventus only spent more than 10 million euros to introduce Iaquinta from Udinese. How could they be willing to pay more than 10 million euros for Gervinho?

The media is also very knowledgeable and interesting, and immediately followed up, digging up a lot of so-called insider information, all of which are news that the team pays attention to Gervinho. Who made this Ivorian winger really perform well?

He is not only the captain of the national Olympic team for Côte d'Ivoire to participate in the 2008 Olympic Games, but he has also made his debut in the national team.

After Gao Shen and Naples made a wild offer, they waited for Wenger and Arsenal to pay back the money.
