Three Hundred and Two Devil Trainers

From Castel Volturno back to Naples, Marino was thinking about those profound words all the way.

He knows Gao Shen's pursuit, and Gao Shen also knows what he is thinking.

As Gao Shen mentioned to him intentionally or unintentionally, why did Moggi become famous after Naples won the championship, and later he took charge of Juventus and became the godfather of Italian football?

Marino was also quite unconvinced.

Naples has two league titles, the first one was built by him Marino, and Maradona was also introduced by him. This tree was planted by him, but it was Moggi who took the shade. This must be somewhat unreasonable.

Of course, Marino admired Moggie's ability, but let him sit in that position, he was confident that he would do no worse than Moggie, and he would not even commit such public outrage like Moggie did.

When he came to Naples from Gaoshen, Marino had a fantasy in his heart that was once unattainable, but now has a vague hope, that is to win another league championship for his hometown team and prove his ability .

Gao Shen knew this very well, so he knew that Marino would support him.

Thinking of this shrewd brat, Marino smiled appreciatively, but thinking of De Laurentiis again, he couldn't help but put his hand up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, the reflection on the mirror made him look All with a sense of wisdom.

...

Back at the headquarters, Marino went directly to De Laurentiis's office.

De Laurentiis's life could have been very leisurely, but he is a person who likes to intervene in every detail.

Fort Volturno was blocked by Gao Shen, he couldn't intervene, and now he likes to meddle in office affairs.

People of the older generation are like this, and they don't know how to delegate power and trust.

After Marino knocked on De Laurentiis's office, he opened the door and went in.

"What? I heard that there is a lot of noise over there?" De Laurentiis asked.

Marino's heart skipped a beat, but he wasn't surprised at all.

With the character of De Laurentiis, how could it be possible not to place an eyeliner in Fort Volturno?

It's not that he doesn't trust Gao Shen, but that he is really a very controlling person. He likes the club from top to bottom,

All the big and small things are reported to him, and it is best for him to make up his mind and execute it completely according to his will.

Although he had an agreement with Gao Shen, he still placed his own people in Fort Volturno, otherwise, how could he sleep?

This is why Gao Shen had a "argument" with Lucas and Buenaventura in the meeting room.

Not only for Marino, but also for De Laurentiis.

Countless years flashed through his mind, but Marino sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "There was a lot of quarrel, if I hadn't stopped it in time, Fernando Lucas might have been fired directly."

When he said this, Marino noticed that De Laurentiis was smiling, and he immediately understood and changed the topic.

"However, I think it's somewhat exaggerated."

De Laurentiis narrowed his eyes and looked at Marino in surprise, "What do you say?"

"There must be a problem, and it's a big one, but Lucas is Gao Shen's friend, the two of them wouldn't quarrel so badly, but now the coaching staff is under a lot of pressure, that's for sure, so they complain a lot, and Gao Shen can't suppress it gone."

Marino said half-truth.

Gao Shen really can't hold back?

Marino certainly didn't believe it.

"The main contradiction now is that the high-level requirements are too high, the coaching staff is under too much pressure to meet the high-level requirements, and the team's recent performance is indeed not ideal, so..."

At this point, Marino sighed again.

De Laurentiis smiled slightly, "The team's performance is very good now, ranking second in Serie A, it's ok."

"He wants to push harder."

"he wants……"

"Champion!" Marino said with certainty.

De Laurentiis was taken aback, pondered for a while, and asked again: "How much budget do you want this time?"

"He said that he wants to introduce a high-level core coaching staff and some equipment. The initial investment is about one million euros, and there will be some additional investment in the follow-up, but not too much."

"So much?" De Laurentiis frowned when he mentioned money.

Naples has been in a state of loss all these years, and it has always been out of his pocket.

On the contrary, Gao Shen, Gervinho moved to Arsenal, and Gao Shen took nearly 3 million euros, which made De Laurentiis almost feel bad, and scolded Marino for a week.

"I think so too, there are too many, but Gao Shen said that this is based on the standards of a strong Serie A team, and the team's situation in the past two months is indeed not ideal, and he himself is very dissatisfied. He is worried that he will not be able to keep the league. Top four."

De Laurentiis' face changed obviously.

The top four in the league, what does this mean?

Qualification for the Champions League next season.

Participating in the Champions League represents a huge profit, at least 20 million euros.

Seeing the change in De Laurentiis's face, Marino was secretly amused.

He knew De Laurentiis well, and Gao Shen only wanted to make insidious tricks. As soon as the two partnered, they came up with such a method.

In a profound way, if you ask your boss for a budget, you have to focus on what the boss cares most about, so you can analyze the pros and cons of the boss frankly, and let him know that if you don’t give me a budget, you may suffer any losses. Give me a budget, and I can give you What kind of return will it bring.

More importantly, this cannot be a one-off deal.

"Gao Shen also said that if his reform is successful, even if he leaves Naples with the team in the future, we will still be the team with the best physical fitness and the best body in Italy, even better than the Milan laboratory."

This time, De Laurentiis was tempted.

It is clear to everyone that Gao Shen and Naples have the same ideals now, so they are very happy to cooperate, but with the current situation, no one knows how long Gao Shen will stay in Naples.

If he leaves and takes away the coaching staff, will Naples' current investment be in vain?

That's something De Laurentiis considered, too.

He is a private owner, which is different from the membership system of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and different from the local tyrants like Abramovich.

Calculating carefully is the label that De Laurentiis put on his forehead.

But now Gao Shen made it clear to him that this investment has paid off a lot, and it is a long-term project that can continue to benefit.

"What do you think?" De Laurentiis looked at Marino.

"I think the club's funds should still be available to support, but at the same time, we can also arrange our own people to help in the name of learning or assistants. The senior coaching staff are all very good." Marino suggested road.

The words reached De Laurentiis's heart.

Many people think that professional football relies on players. This is true, but not entirely true.

Players are fluid, buying today and selling tomorrow is normal.

But employees are also very important, especially high-level employees.

For example, high-level coaches are also very scarce. If Naples can cultivate a group of outstanding high-level coaches, even if Gao Shen leaves in the future, the team will not plummet.

Thinking of this, De Laurentiis felt a little pain in his heart, but still gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "Piepaolo, you are responsible for this matter, and control the budget."

"I understand." Marino nodded.

...

When Gao Shen received the call from Marino, he was having dinner with the coaching staff at the Chinese restaurant. When he heard that the budget had been approved, Gao Shen enthusiastically asked Marino, would you like to have dinner together?

Marino declined politely, but he asked Gao Shen to submit a plan as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Shen looked at the crowd with a smile, raised the water glass in his hand, "Celebrate, the plan has been passed."

Everyone also laughed and stood up to toast Gao Shen.

When I was a mixed company in my previous life, applying for projects and budgets was arguably the most painful thing, and the bigger the company, the harder it was.

Especially for a boss like De Laurentiis, he can't tell what is necessary and what is unnecessary.

He only cares about the interests he can see.

Is this wrong?

Actually, yes, because he paid for it in real money.

The main reason why Marino is willing to help is that if this project is successful, it will also be of great benefit to Naples. He also believes that advanced ideas can help Naples achieve better results. power.

To "deal with" a boss like De Laurentiis, you have to let him see the interests of his heart, and he will happily approve your budget. use.

Of course, there is another way, that is, Gao Shen has a very tough attitude and directly asks for the approval of the budget. This is fine, but the problem is that as long as this kind of thing is done once, the relationship between him and De Laurentiis will break down once.

A broken mirror is hard to round.

Try not to touch some things.

Gao Shen has always believed that one does not necessarily have to be strong to get things done.

"Everyone go back and have a good Christmas. We will be busy next time." Gao Shen said.

After finishing speaking, Gao Shen looked at Lucas, "I'll give you another analyst, but the club will still recruit you. You are responsible for checking, and your own department will be responsible for it."

Lucas raised his hand and made an OK sign, "Don't worry, I promise to complete the task."

In the advanced coaching team, the role of the analysis department is getting bigger and bigger, and their tasks are getting heavier and heavier.

Not to mention anything else, analyzing the team's training videos every day is a tiring job, let alone other things.

"As for the fitness coach, I already have a suitable candidate, and I will go there myself." Gao Shen said this, and looked at Buenaventura, "Lorenzo, after Christmas, you can walk with me for a while." trip."

Buenaventura nodded in agreement.

The fitness coach recruited is to cooperate with Buenaventura, and it is reasonable for him to follow.

When Gao Shen was still a fan, even in 2021, when many domestic media reported that he was a physical coach, but in fact, there are many kinds of physical coaches, such as physical coaches and physical fitness coaches. There is a clear division of labor.

In the advanced plan, the physical coach is still Buenaventura, which is irreplaceable.

He wants to bring in a high-level fitness coach, and he is also a devil trainer that many people are familiar with.
