Four Hundred and Seventy Too Much Money!

What is the saying?

War is about logistics.

This is the truth of the so-called soldiers and horses before moving food and grass.

As the general manager of Naples, Marino has always attached great importance to logistics work, but he will do his best to meet the requirements of Gao Shen and the team.

Especially in the national team competition.

Last season, Naples suffered a loss in the national team competition, which affected the team's performance. Although Gao Shen did not attack this, De Laurentiis and Marino both reviewed themselves and tried to make up for the lack of work.

Up to now, Naples is sprinting on all fronts, and logistical support is the top priority.

De Laurentiis personally issued a death order, asking Marino to ensure logistics no matter what.

At the end of March this time, Marino personally took charge of the national team competition, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

On the second day after playing against AC Milan, Gao Shen came to the San Paolo Stadium to understand the specific situation in person.

...

"The national team, you called, and I communicated in person again, and also called the Football Association. They all understand that our current competition is very tense, so we will try to make it easier for the competition."

In the office, Marino personally introduced the progress of his work to Gao Shen and De Laurentiis.

"But to be honest, it may be difficult, because now is the critical period for South America to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa. Their qualifying schedule is very tight, and the pressure on the national teams of various countries is also great, so..."

To put it bluntly, Naples has the pressure of club competitions, and the national team has the pressure of going to the World Cup.

Imagine, if traditional strong teams like Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay are unable to play in the World Cup, how much disturbance will this cause in their countries?

"Tell me about your arrangement." Gao Shen nodded.

"My colleagues and I counted the schedule of the qualifying matches for the South American World Cup. This time they mainly have two games, which are on March 28th and 29th, and the second game is on April 1st and 2nd. .”

"And our 30th round of Serie A will be on the night of April 5th."

Gao Shen knew these things without looking at them, because that was what caused him a headache.

"Our international players in South America are mainly Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Leaving aside the first game, we focus on the second game. Peru played against Brazil in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and Argentina played against Bolivia's St. Ruz, Uruguay is going to Chile's Santiago."

"We also specially contacted local scouts and insiders in South America. At the same time, we also contacted the airline company. After many negotiations and communication, we decided to set the assembly point in South America in Buyi. North Aires."

"After all the international players have played the game, they can take the nearest flight directly from the game site and fly to Buenos Aires. Our preliminary estimate is that they can be assembled at noon on the third day. Of course, during this process, the players may be There is no rest."

"We spent more than 100,000 euros and chartered a plane. After picking up the players, we flew directly from Buenos Aires to Rome. The flight took more than ten hours. It is expected to arrive in Rome in the early morning of the 4th and the latest morning. "

Gao Shen frowned.

He can feel that this link is linked with a link, but there are actually many problems.

It is an ideal state to assemble and complete at noon on the third day, but in fact, it may not be.

For example, players may not be able to rush directly to the airport after a game. What if the national team is delayed by something?

Even if I rush to the airport, will the flight be delayed?

Even, the possibility of the latter is very high.

In the past two years, the Serie A team's pick-up and drop-off of South American and African international players has basically established certain rules. Generally, it is the cooperation of various clubs. Everyone gathers together a wallet machine to help the international team return to Europe as soon as possible.

To be honest, as long as you go back to Europe, everything is convenient.

This time, Naples mainly considered the rest and adjustment of the players. The purpose was to ensure that the team could return to Naples on the 4th.

He still has a five-point lead, which Napoli can afford to squander.

The key is that he has to adjust the players as soon as possible to face Arsenal in the best condition.

However, the Serie A charter flight had to stop in Madrid for various reasons, so Naples could not accept it, and would rather pay a higher price to charter a plane by itself and fly directly from Argentina to Rome.

Speaking of it, it may be just a few or a dozen hours, but for professional players, these extra hours of rest and adjustment time are very important.

Gao Shen also understood that Marino really tried his best.

Putting it in the entire human society, football is nothing at all.

It is also impossible for airlines to specifically accommodate football clubs, otherwise, wouldn't society be in chaos?

Even the international players of each club must abide by the laws and regulations and entry and exit requirements of each country. Therefore, almost every time the national team plays, the itinerary will be affected due to the issue of the national team's certificate.

Every national team game is actually a test of the club's logistics.

"Tell me about London." Gao Shen said.

Marino looked at De Laurentiis, who nodded.

"I've been to the hotel you mentioned before, and I personally inspected the site. It's really good. The budget is a bit too high, but it's still within the acceptable range, so I decided on the hotel." Marino laughed. .

The hotel recommended by Gao Shen was the hotel he stayed in when he led Real Madrid on an expedition to London. He felt quite satisfied, so he suggested Marino to check it out, and the general manager of Naples went to investigate in person.

In terms of logistics support, veteran giants such as Real Madrid often play away games, and their capabilities are still very strong.

How about others, Gao Shen is not quite sure, but Marino's ability to handle affairs is quite reliable, and he is conscientious.

Of course, De Laurentiis is also very cooperative now.

Just kidding, the team is now in the quarter-finals of the Champions League!

When they were drawn into the death group, he and Marino really thought about retreating, after all, it wasn't worth the effort.

After reaching the knockout stage of the Champions League, they are already satisfied.

Who would have thought that Gao Shen led the team and eliminated Chelsea, making it to the quarter-finals in an upset.

what is this?

score! A real achievement!

Behind the results, Naples players are performing better and better.

The better the player performs, the higher the worth, and the more confidence Naples will have in negotiating.

If, a year ago, De Laurentiis still felt sorry for the 20% share that Gao Shen had given to Gao Shen, then now, he doesn't think so at all.

why?

Because the value of Naples players is already too high.

Not to mention others, Cavani, the top scorer in Serie A last season, has also performed very well this season. The current transfer market valuation is 30 million euros, but he is only 22 years old.

Want to buy a 22-year-old Serie A top scorer for 30 million euros?

What spring and autumn dream?

Thiago Mota, he is also very sought-after now, Inter Milan wants him, Barcelona also wants him, there is even news that Real Madrid also wants him, and some other giants are very interested in him.

According to preliminary estimates, there is no need to take him away without 20 to 30 million euros.

If Naples really continues to play like this, they will really reach the semi-finals, if they go against the sky, they will reach the finals, or even...

De Laurentiis and Marino couldn't even imagine what it would be like, and the value of Naples players would definitely skyrocket.

At that time, Gao Shen's loss of 20% certainly made them feel bad, but Naples earned more.

Anyway, De Laurentiis is numb now.

If Gao Shen changes his mind now, nods his head and agrees to stay, he immediately renews the contract, and the annual salary is easy to talk about.

No way, too much money!

Therefore, now Gao Shen is using the team's outstanding results to firmly tie De Laurentiis and Marino to his chariot, and keep their interests aligned.

...

"Gao, tell us the truth, how sure are you of this quarter-finals knockout match?" Marino asked with concern.

Gao Shen looked at the general manager, and then at De Laurentiis, especially the latter, who almost pricked up his ears. He knew it in his heart, and De Laurentiis probably wanted to know more.

In terms of curiosity, the Naples chairman is obviously stronger.

"Frankly speaking, if both teams perform normally, I have at least 60% certainty."

"Sixty percent?" De Laurentiis was a little surprised, "Sixty percent is enough!"

He originally thought that Gao Shen would be half to half at most, or even four to six, but he didn't expect that Gao Shen would be six to four, which was far beyond his estimate.

"Are you really so confident?" On the contrary, Marino was a little worried.

"Arsenal's team is said to be strong, and it is indeed quite strong, but if it is said to be weak, it is also quite weak." Gao Shen turned on the Tai Chi mode, and Che Jilu spoke in turn.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Although many fans ridiculed Arsenal as a four-maniac, what is the International Arsenal Day, what is the temperature difference, what is the Champions League Sixteen Lang, the best team, etc., some people joked: I am the captain, don't sell me...

How do you say something?

Oh, there is one piece of jokes in the world, and Arsenal monopolizes eight buckets.

But in fact, after careful consideration, it turns out that they still have expectations for the Gunners.

There are expectations, which prove that in their eyes, Arsenal is still a strong team, even in the Champions League.

This is the same as Gao Shen scolding the national football team, every time I watch the game, I start scolding, why next time I watch the national football team, I am such a dog...Anyway, I am so angry that I can swear all kinds of cruel words.

But what happened?

I will scold because I still have expectations in my heart.

When the time comes when no one even scolds you, then you really give up!

As for Gao Shen, there is nothing to look forward to now, because scolding the national football team to cross time, I am afraid that he is also the number one person in ancient and modern China and abroad.

More importantly, Gao Shen has his own affairs to be busy and worried about, how can he have that kind of leisure?

How to deal with Arsenal, Gao Shen already had a preliminary idea in his heart, so he dared to shout that sentence.

This is not only to boost the morale of Naples itself, but also to suppress the spirit of Arsenal.
