Five Hundred and Twenty-Two High, I Didn't Expect You to Be Such a Person!

"Congratulations, Gao!"

"thanks!"

A white-haired UEFA official came over, but Gao Shen couldn't say his name at all.

After the two shook hands, the official motioned to Gao Shen to call all the players of the team over. The podium was almost ready, and the two teams could start to receive the awards immediately.

"At that time, Barcelona will go up first, and you and your players will stand on both sides."

The UEFA official pointed to the entrance of the podium, introduced the whole process of accepting the award to Gao Shen, and finally added another sentence.

"It's a custom for Champions League runners-up to receive awards."

Gao Shen understands this.

The referee team comes first, then the runner-up, and finally the champion.

Generally speaking, the champion will line up to send the referee team and the runner-up to the podium, which is also a kind of demeanor.

At this moment, there are many media and TV stations that have official cooperation with UEFA. All of them are holding camcorders. In every corner of the stadium, the players from Naples are turning around.

In the distance, Barcelona's players were all gathered, but they all seemed to be in a state of disinterest.

Losing such an important final, losing the treble, for many of them, was the last chance to touch the Champions League in their careers.

For example Henry.

The French striker moved from Arsenal to Barcelona with the aim of winning the Champions League.

After winning La Liga and the Copa del Rey this season, he is also determined to win the Champions League, but now he has suffered such a fiasco in the final. How can he accept it?

This is likely to be the last Champions League final of his career.

Guardiola and Vilanova stood by, both looking disappointed, especially Guardiola.

To him, tonight's game was like an exam, and he failed it.

After the start of the second half, when Napoli scored the second goal, he already knew that there was really nothing he could do.

Because he had no way to turn the situation around.

This can't help but remind him of some things that Gao Shen once said to him. Now that he thinks about it, Gao Shen really understands him.

...

Success or failure is vividly reflected in the Olympic Stadium in Rome at this moment.

Naples, who won the championship, won the applause and was highly sought after by everyone; Barcelona, ​​who lost the championship, was left out in the corner, and did not even dare to go any further.

At this moment, the Barcelona players are also in different moods.

Some are full of grief and anger, such as Yaya Toure; others are as dead as Henry; there are also a group of people who are angry and dissatisfied with losing the final, such as Messi, Eto'o, Xavi and Iniesta. .

Just when no one in Barcelona was interested, they saw Barcelona President Laporta walk down from the chairman's stand with his assistants. They came to the players, hugged the players one by one, and gave them encouragement and affirmation, especially Guardiola.

Laporta hugged him even more, encouraging him not to lose his mind, but to keep going.

"Everyone, in any case, this season has been a successful season for us at Barcelona."

"I am here, on behalf of the club, to promise everyone that we will spend a lot of money to introduce high-level stars in the transfer market this summer, and strive to make a comeback in the Champions League next season and win this championship!"

Although Laporta is not very reliable on weekdays, at such a critical moment, he can stand up, and he has won the recognition of the players. The Barcelona fans in the stands also reacted and sent applause and encouragement for the team.

That's when UEFA officials came running to tell them that the podium was ready.

...

"Congratulations, Gao!"

"thanks!"

Gao Shen hugged Guardiola and said again what he said many times tonight.

What he said most tonight was thank you.

"This final is as you said, I lost." Guardiola admitted frankly.

"I... won't win that much." After Gao Shen finished speaking, he laughed.

Guardiola was also amused by him and tapped him on the shoulder.

The friendship between the two is really good, and they don’t take each other as a target in private, but Gao Shen has always felt that Guardiola’s style of play is problematic because of the lack of variables.

Many people think that Mourinho is a control freak, but in fact, Guardiola is.

He was even harsh enough to ask Henry how to move.

That's Henry!

The world's top striker.

I have encountered this kind of thing when I was a mixed enterprise in my previous life, that is, the rules and regulations were formulated too finely, the responsibilities and authorities were divided too clearly, and the overall efficiency was greatly reduced.

Take the simplest example.

Once, when Gao Shen urgently needed to sign a document, he went to the Brothers department, but unfortunately, the colleague in charge of this business was not there and asked for leave.

This is actually just a very small matter. There are more than a dozen colleagues in the brother department, and anyone can sign it.

But unfortunately, no one was willing to sign this name for him.

Is it because Gao Shen has a bad relationship with them?

No, they are all fraternal departments, the office is next door, and we often eat together on weekdays.

But they also have their reasons.

In the end, they almost all said the same thing to Gao Shen.

"Anyway, it's the company's business. You can leave it alone. When the colleague who is in charge comes to work, let him sign it. It has nothing to do with us, so why take the blame?"

A football field is definitely not the same as a business, but Gao Shen believes that many things in essence are similar.

It looks good when you frame it too thinly, but not so much when you do it.

Of course, it is also not good to have no rules, that is, a mess of sand.

Therefore, management has been a university question since ancient times.

...

Weber took the referee team to the stage to accept the award first.

Next came Guardiola bringing Barcelona's players to the stage.

Naples lined up on both sides of the passage to send them up.

Naples was not ready to take the stage until they all accepted the award and stepped off the stage.

However, before going on stage, there was a small episode.

According to the process, the club should also have an official to represent the team on stage to receive a commemorative badge for the Champions League.

The general manager Marino was already doing his part, standing in front of the team, ready to go up.

But before stepping out of the door, De Laurentiis appeared.

The Naples boss, who had a beard and was rarely dressed in a serious manner, went straight to Marino and told him to get out of the way, saying that he was going to represent the team on stage to receive the award.

"No, boss, didn't you say before that you don't want to come on stage?" Marino was full of grievances.

"I didn't think that the team didn't... I originally wanted to give you a chance, but now it seems that your image, especially your bald head, can't represent our image of Naples at all, so I think, You have to do it yourself!" De Laurentiis was righteous.

"But……"

"It's nothing but a birthday present from God, can I refuse it?" De Laurentiis asked rhetorically.

A birthday present from God?

Gao Shen and the players were stunned.

Is today his birthday?

Damn, no one knows.

"Boss, your birthday is obviously the 24th, today is the 27th." Marino was still stubbornly resisting.

DeLaurentiston snorted, "When I was born, the registration date was wrong. My mother told me that I was actually born on the twenty-seventh." Having said this, his face sank, his eyes like Staring at Marino like an eagle, "I said this, are you satisfied?"

Marino was apprehensive.

No way, seeing this boss, he was frightened from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't know why.

But the chance of the Champions League podium is too rare...

"Boss, in fact, the general manager usually does things like receiving awards. Why bother you?" Marino said with a smile.

De Laurentiis touched his nose, instead of looking at Marino, he turned to look at Gao Shen, and asked with a smile, "Gao, you say, does our team have a general manager?"

Gao Shen was watching the play well, but when he was suddenly asked this, he immediately understood, and looked at the poor migrant worker Marino, with a sympathy in his heart, and he actually had such an unscrupulous boss...

"Actually, there is none." Gao Shen laughed.

Marino raised his eyebrows and pointed at Gao Shen, speechless.

Gao, I didn't expect you to be such a person!

De Laurentiis also laughed and looked at Marino, "Pierre Paul, do you think we have a general manager in Naples?"

Marino suddenly felt a sense of being raped, and he had to cooperate with the sad feeling of the waves.

But there is no way, who made him a worker?

"Boss, it's up to you to pick it up, I'll just watch from the audience." Marino almost cried.

Only then did De Laurentiis walk at the front of the team, and waved his hand in a godfather manner, signaling everyone to follow quickly.

Gao Shen followed happily, and when he passed in front of Marino, he showed him 120,000 sympathy.

The same goes for the rest of the Napoli players.

Poor Marino, the only chance in his life to take the stage to win the Champions League, was ruthlessly deprived of it.

This is the life of the workers!

...

"Oh my God Gao, I don't know how to describe how I feel at this moment, all of us are so proud and proud of you, thank you for all you have done for European football!"

When Gao Shen came before UEFA President Platini, the French were quite excited.

After he finished speaking, he gave Gao Shen a special hug.

To be honest, the high-level feeling is very wrong.

Because Platini was short, he had to lean down, which made him uncomfortable.

Later, he saw Juan Carlos who still owed him a Spanish throne. When he saw Gao Shen, he consciously accompanied his smiling face, and said that he wanted to invite him to the Juan House barbecue restaurant, full of dog licking His expression made Gao Shen let him go.

Gao Shen met with high-level Italian government officials, and then chatted with senior officials and ambassadors visiting Italy.

When Naples captain Montevino was about to lift the championship trophy, Gao Shen deliberately stood in the corner, leaving the C position and the eye-catching place to his players.

Tonight, he is not afraid of being robbed of the limelight.

Because next he's going to do something that no one has ever done before.
