Six Hundred and Thirty We Really Have No Money!
After watching the game, Gao Shen sent a congratulatory message to Guardiola.
Originally, he thought that Guardiola would be busy and had no time to pay attention, but he didn't expect Guardiola to reply quickly and invited Gao Shen to the locker room to share the joy together.
If it were someone else, Gao Shen would definitely suspect that he was just bragging and showing off.
But Guardiola won't.
Gao Shen knew him very well, it was purely because he was so happy at this moment.
However, Gao Shen politely declined, because this is a celebration time for Barcelona.
Whether it is as the head coach of Manchester City or the former Real Madrid coach, it is always inappropriate for Gao Shen to appear in Barcelona's championship dressing room, and the current Real Madrid fans are probably bleeding in their hearts.
At this time, Gao Shen went to celebrate with Barcelona, isn't this asking for trouble?
...
After watching the Champions League final, Gao Shen met with Florentino, then met with King Juan Carlos of Spain, and then went to speak with UEFA President Michel Platini and other core executives call.
According to Gao Shen's personality, he really didn't want to be so troublesome, but on this occasion, he had to be thorough, otherwise, he might be put on small shoes at any time.
Finally, Gao Shen specially made a comforting phone call to Ferguson.
"It's okay, Sir, this defeat can extend your career for another five years!" Gao Shen laughed.
Ferguson laughed and scolded on the other end of the phone, "Are you planning to let me die on the coach's bench?"
"That's not bad, it's an honor!" Gao Shen replied.
But being so excited by Gao Shen, Ferguson really felt relieved a lot.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from tonight's game that Ferguson was obviously more experienced when dealing with Barcelona due to the disastrous defeat to Manchester City before, but the goal came too early.
"From the perspective of the game process, if you play conservatively, you may not be able to play, but you chose to press out."
Gao Shen was on the phone, analyzing some of his observations and gains with Ferguson.
"Pressing out doesn't mean you can't kick,
And you started the game aggressively, which is right, but you overestimated your defense, especially the defense in the midfield. To be honest, after so many years, you should also strengthen the midfield. "
Manchester United's first conceded goal was because it was pressed too far, which caused the transition from offense to defense and failed to retract in time.
This is a very serious problem.
The defense of the midfield has always been a big problem for Manchester United. Since the introduction of Hargreaves failed, Ferguson seems to have given up on the signing of the midfielder, but the question is, how can Barcelona be stopped with only one Carrick ?
Maybe it was because he just lost the game and he was feeling uncomfortable, or maybe he was stabbed in the heart by Gao Shen, Ferguson was silent for a while, and then let out a mixed sigh.
"We really have no money!"
Gao Shen also froze on the phone.
Being able to make the proud Ferguson say such weak words shows that his situation is indeed difficult.
A few days ago, just as Manchester United happily entered the Champions League final, the British Times broke the news that Manchester United's bank loan interest rate will be raised from 14.25% to 16.25% due to the inability to meet the PIK (Payment in Kind Bond) regulations.
At present, Manchester United has a total of 220 million pounds in loans, which means that Manchester United's liabilities will increase by 75 million pounds in an instant.
It is said that this is the result of a series of capital operations carried out by the American Glazer family after acquiring Manchester United.
In February of this year, the Glazer family was unable to repay the loan that was about to come due, and was forced to issue bonds of up to 500 million pounds and signed a "challenging" agreement. Manchester United's debt can only be their pre-tax profits. five times.
Among them, seven million pounds were repaid as soon as the bank loan was obtained.
However, according to PIK's assessment in May, Manchester United's current total debt is 539 million pounds, but this season's pre-tax profit is several million pounds short of the stipulated amount, which cannot meet the stipulated requirements, so the interest rate will be further increased .
Now, Manchester United is frantically soliciting sponsorships all over the world, just to fill this hole before August.
In this case, where can Manchester United get the money to sign up?
According to previous media reports, Ferguson almost broke his face with the management in order to sign Sneijder.
Fortunately, this season's Manchester United is also competitive enough to reach the Champions League final, and can earn a lot of income in this area.
It is conceivable that if Ferguson signed Sneijder but his results were not satisfactory, then he would really have to take the blame and resign.
...
After hanging up Ferguson's phone call, Gao Shen felt quite uncomfortable.
Looking at European football, there are not many teams that can be called models of management. Manchester United in the Premier League, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, and Real Madrid in Spain are all very successful giants.
But Manchester United is obsessed with capital operations and building their own business empire. As a result, the Glazer family took advantage of the loophole and came up with an empty-handed white wolf trick. Now it’s all right, causing a lot of trouble for myself .
Sometimes thinking about it, Ferguson is not easy now.
No money to sign in, but still struggling to support.
However, the predicament is also temporary, and it will be fine in a few years.
Manchester City is now mainly relying on the investment of the sponsors behind it, which is actually very unhealthy, but Gao Shen has seen Manchester City's business plan, and the Abu Dhabi consortium is by no means just thinking about burning money to earn advertising effects.
Gao Shen believes that Manchester City will eventually become a wealthy family, and Gao Shen is bound to help Manchester City lay the foundation of a wealthy family, and will be forever engraved in the history of the Manchester City club and even the celebrity list in the history of the Premier League.
...
Just after hanging up the phone with Ferguson, Gao Shen immediately received a call from Guardiola.
It didn't take long for him to see the Barcelona coach in the executive VIP room of the Bernabéu Stadium.
"Congratulations, Pep." Gao smiled and hugged Guardiola.
Guardiola is obviously impatient.
He gave Gao Shen the impression that he was a student who just got full marks in the exam, holding the exam papers, chasing after the teacher.
He wants to get compliments from his teacher.
Of course Gao Shen understood his psychology, and unreservedly satisfied his desire, and praised him fiercely.
This made Tito Vilanova, who followed Guardiola and wanted to get to know the advanced Tito Vilanova, unbelievable.
Is he really the legendary world's top coach Gao Shen?
Are you sure he's not a jerk who sells fake medicines and tricks old people into buying insurance?
Guardiola is in a really good mood. After all, he just won the Champions League. He made no secret that his next goal is the Triple Crown.
"Next season, I will not let it slip away from my hands!" Guardiola said confidently.
Gao Shen nodded with a smile, but his heart was full of slander: Nima, Laozi is standing in front of you, he is not dead yet!
However, it is also funny to say that Guardiola has won the double for two consecutive seasons.
Last season was La Liga and the Copa del Rey, this season it is La Liga and the Champions League.
Of course, judging from the results, this heavy report card is already eye-catching and excellent enough, so many people say that Guardiola is Gao Shen II, because he was indeed Gao Shen's assistant back then.
He himself does not resist this title, but Gao Shen, who has justified Guardiola's name time and time again, which makes Guardiola even more grateful and admired Gao Shen.
However, there is an obvious change that Guardiola recognized something that Gao Shen had told him at the beginning.
That is, Barcelona's current tactics are not suitable for high center forwards.
Originally, what Guardiola wanted was a high center forward like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was skilled and capable, but he just couldn't run and his rhythm was obviously slow.
This is normal.
It is impossible for human beings to escape the gravitational pull to survive on the earth.
The weight of the taller player is where it is, and there has never been a taller player who is as flexible as a smaller player while providing a wide range of movement.
If there is, then this person should really be pulled to slice.
Therefore, Guardiola must face two choices, either to introduce tall men, adjust Barcelona's tactics, and accommodate the characteristics of tall men; A player who can run again.
In the past, Guardiola was obsessed with being tall, but now it seems that his thinking seems to have changed.
"I want to introduce Aguero from Atletico Madrid." Guardiola directly stated his goal.
Gao Shen was taken aback, with question marks all over his face, "Aguero?"
"Yes, I have been investigating him for a long time. He is a very good player, and he has a very good relationship with Messi. I think he can adapt to Barcelona." Guardiola said full of longing.
After listening to Gao Shen, after careful consideration, he immediately realized that Guardiola was going to sell Eto'o.
Sometimes, the depth is also incomprehensible, why is Guardiola so distasteful to see Eto'o?
Isn't it good that Messi plays in the middle and Eto'o plays on the right?
Perhaps, it is really an eyesore.
Guardiola is like this. When he admires or likes someone, he looks pleasing to the eye, but when he hates or dislikes someone, the other person is just a breath of air, let alone an obstruction to his eyes. He felt like he was committing a crime.
"Aguero is not cheap, and you will have a presidential election this year. Both candidates have their own target superstars."
It is also interesting to say.
At that time, the former chairman of Real Madrid, Sanz, tried to take advantage of two Champions League titles in three years to re-elect Real Madrid as the chairman. He didn't pay attention to the challenger Florentino at all. Policy won.
In Gao Shen's previous life, Laporta also relied on Guardiola's Triple Crown to seek a successful re-election, but he did not expect to be overthrown by his former assistant Russell.
Now, history has changed. Guardiola's triple crown has become a double crown for two consecutive years. Laporta's momentum has also reached its peak. I don't know if he can still use Guardiola's momentum to defeat Ronaldo. Searle, successfully re-elected?
"By the way, if you want to introduce Aguero and other stars, you must also invest a lot of money, right?" Gao Shen asked after changing the subject.
Guardiola froze for a moment, then stared at Gao Shen warily, nodded, "So..."
"Thiago Motta, sell or not?"
Guardiola yelled in his heart, sure enough, but immediately refused, "Don't sell, don't even think about it, it's impossible!"
Don't be too firm.
