Four Hundred and Eighty, Don't Believe in Superstars!

To be honest, it is not so easy to see the advanced side now.

Because he is too busy.

Liu Wenda called three days ago, but Gao Shen took advantage of the game in the afternoon to meet them at night until tonight, and the UAE is obviously very sincere.

In other words, they didn't intend to give Gao Shen a chance to refuse.

Emirates Airlines invited Gao Shen to be its global image ambassador, and offered a very high price, reaching five million euros per year.

What Gao Shen needs to pay is to find time to shoot two commercials for Emirates every year, regularly attend the activities organized by Emirates every year, and cooperate with Emirates to promote and promote on the Internet.

In addition, it is very important that Gao Shen must maintain a positive image of himself.

If Emirates Airlines still needs to do something advanced, then the UAE Tourism Board will make more money.

Gao Shen only needs to go to the UAE in the Middle East to shoot a tourism promotion advertisement, and then he can get five million euros in one go.

The estimated shooting time is two days, and all expenses incurred during the whole process will be borne by the UAE Tourism Authority.

Gao Shen really didn't expect that some people really offered to send him money these days, and it was still a huge sum of money.

The point is, the money is all after-tax.

In other words, all the taxes are paid by the UAE, and Gao Shen is only responsible for taking the money and leaving.

This is also the method adopted by many celebrity endorsements, after all, taxation is too troublesome.

Even Gao Shen, when negotiating salary and annual salary, basically talks about the after-tax price.

Judging from the offer, the UAE came prepared and did not intend to give Gao Shen a chance to refuse, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

...

Mubarak specially came to Naples from the UK and stayed for three or four days. He certainly didn't just want to meet Gao Shen, exchange phone numbers, and satisfy his so-called psychology.

When he said this, let alone advanced, he himself didn't believe it.

After talking about "serious" things, Mubarak also began to have a chance to intervene.

This tall Arab-born man speaks fluent English, which is said to have a lot to do with his study abroad in the United States.

Since taking over Manchester City at the end of September until now, Mubarak has never found the right way to run Manchester City.

According to him, tens of millions of pounds were thrown in without a single sound being heard.

Not only did I not hear it, but Manchester City's large-scale burning of money also caused a lot of side effects.

First of all, many teams in the Premier League, including the Premier League, are concerned about Manchester City's finances; secondly, stars like Robinho basically regret it as soon as they come to Manchester City, and there are a lot of problems; Mark Hughes is also a big trouble , knowing that his abilities are limited, but there are no big-name coaches in Manchester City who are willing to take over.

This is not surprising.

If there is a big-name coach willing to take over Manchester City, Blue Moon would have removed Mark Hughes long ago.

Therefore, Mubarak has a doubt in his heart.

"Mr. Gao, I would like to ask, why are Manchester City and Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and other giants receiving two completely different evaluations for the same money-burning?" Mubarak was puzzled.

In fact, what he wants to know more is, how does the inner circle of the head coach view Manchester City?

Looking at European football, not many are qualified to answer this question.

At least it must be a head coach at the knockout level of the Champions League.

Or, a famous coach who is eligible to participate in the UEFA Elite Coaching Summit.

Gao Shen looked at Mubarak, thought for a while, and said, "Want to hear the truth?"

"certainly.

"

"I've heard a lot of people mention Manchester City. It's basically the same as the reaction from the media and fans. There are mixed reviews. So, where did the bad reviews come from?"

Mubarak was also curious.

"It's actually very simple, you moved someone else's cake."

After a pause, Gao Shen explained: "It's like last summer's transfer. You made a move in the middle and robbed Robinho. Do you think Chelsea will feel comfortable? Especially now that Chelsea lacks wide players, they must I was thinking, if Robinho hadn't been snatched by Manchester City, then..."

Gao Shen spread his hands innocently.

"Also, you have poor grades, so you have to poach corners at a high price. Otherwise, players are not willing to go. This is a normal economic behavior, but it is inevitable that those teams that are not willing to lose players will have to pay a higher price. To keep players, higher salaries, higher bonuses."

"Those teams that compete with you for players will also have to pay a higher price."

"Don't expect these people, these teams, to have a good opinion of you, not to mention, there are too many high-level players in the transfer market, and the rich teams are rushing for them. Now Manchester City rushed in. Like a savage, scour for stars and strengthen yourself."

"From your standpoint and angle, it's definitely okay, but from your opponent's standpoint and angle, they will be disgusted."

"Money, there has never been any distinction between good and bad, high and low, the difference is only the person who spends the money."

Mubarak is very young, only thirty-one years old, but he really felt enlightened when he heard the words of Gao Shen, who was three years younger than himself.

Because he is not familiar with and understands European professional football.

"Actually, if Manchester City's performance is good, the situation will be greatly improved, because professional football is a jungle world where the weak can prey on the strong. If you are strong enough to win the championship, people will obey you. If you don't accept it? Beat him! "

What Gao Shen said made Mubarak clap his hands hard.

Just do it!

It's impossible. After spending so much money, you still have to suffer a lot of grievances, right?

Don't they all say that it's the uncle who spends money?

"When I first arrived in the UK, the people in the City of London let me know more about Chelsea. They all thought that Chelsea was a model of a team from an upstart to a quasi-rich team, and even a rich team." Mubarak was not without envy said.

Today's Chelsea has basically been recognized.

why?

Two league titles, plus the Champions League runner-up, these are enough for Chelsea to gain a firm foothold among the giants.

Of course, the premise is that Abramovich must persevere in investment.

"In Abramovich's first season, Ranieri's results were not satisfactory. At that time, the whole world was saying that Chelsea was an upstart and Abramovich was a rich man. They satirized and ridiculed Chelsea. The media and the fans are overwhelming."

"The situation that Manchester City is now facing is far worse than that of Chelsea back then, because there is already a Chelsea team in front, and more importantly, Manchester City's arch-rival Manchester United is at its peak right now, plus Liverpool, Arsenal Teams such as Nana and Tottenham Hotspur are all outstanding."

"Yes." Mubarak nodded and sighed, "We need a 'Mourinho' belonging to Manchester City now, who can lay a solid foundation for the team and lay down the team's entire technical and tactical system."

This, Mark Hughes can't do anyway.

Even, to some extent, he did worse than Ranieri at Chelsea.

Whether Chelsea fans are willing to admit it or not, Mourinho has made great contributions to Chelsea.

Without the years of Mourinho's coaching, with Abramovich's style, it would take longer for Chelsea to secure a seat in the giants.

At least until now, the vast majority of people have recognized Chelsea.

Of course, in terms of contribution, it must be Abramovich who has spent the most money.

Mubarak also asked some advanced and more professional questions. For example, if Manchester City wants to establish its own set of skills, tactics and youth training system, it will inevitably need to poach corners, but the premise of poaching corners is that the team needs to have a direction.

Which style do you want to learn?

"Learn from Barcelona!" Gao Shen replied without hesitation.

"Barcelona?" Mubarak was a little surprised.

Gao Shen nodded, "Barcelona's system is not easy to learn, nor can it be learned casually, but it is a trend and direction. After introducing Barcelona's system, it will be combined with Manchester City's own characteristics and British football. To adapt to the situation, carry out localization, and create Manchester City's own youth training system and technical and tactical style."

Mubarak got it.

Gao Shen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liu Wenda and the others, and for the sake of the large sum of money, he still gave another suggestion.

"Stop superstitious superstars!"

Mubarak was visibly taken aback.

"I heard that you have offered Kaka a sky-high price of nearly 100 million pounds and a huge annual salary. I don't think this is a wise choice, because you can use this money to introduce a group of high-level players. , a relatively young and capable player with development potential."

"You can think about it. Among the many players that Chelsea introduced back then, none of them were big names. Drogba, Essien, Robben, Terry and Lampard all became superstars in Chelsea. One of the reasons why it is accepted by everyone."

"Conversely, if you look at the big-name superstar Chelsea introduced, Shevchenko, as well as Ballack and Deco in the midfield, it cannot be said that they are all lacking in strength, but it is obviously not worthwhile, or even a big loss."

"Football nowadays is all about teamwork. Instead of spending so much money on superstars, it is better to spend the money on superstars to introduce a few high-level players, and then find a high-level head coach to integrate them. Take shape and cultivate your own superstar, this is the path of sustainable development.”

Gao Shen believes that Mark Hughes has become the biggest problem in the Manchester City team.

He is the biggest shortcoming in terms of technical and tactical aspects, as well as in terms of personal influence and charisma.

If nothing else, how does Mark Hughes manage Robinho?

The entire general trend of the Premier League now is to learn from the European continent.

From the technical director to the head coach, to the overall technical and tactical style, all are learning from the European continent.

Because the Premier League teams have also begun to discover that their management system is too extensive and their technical and tactical styles are too rough.

Manchester United started after Ferguson won the Champions League in 1999, Arsenal hired Wenger, Liverpool went through Houllier and Benitez successively, Chelsea has always followed the Italian route, and later chose Mu Rino and Scolari.

There have been successes and failures in coaching performance, but the overall trend of the Premier League is already very obvious.

Foreign coaches brought advanced technical and tactical concepts, coupled with the influx of capital, and the huge benefits brought about by the globalization of the Premier League, all these have made the Premier League become the world's most competitive wrestler with the richest technical and tactical styles. field.

Manchester City have to ride this wave if they want to be successful.
