Seven Hundred and Forty-Seven Gao Shen: If You Don’t Choose, I Want It!

Manchester City won the Champions League and achieved the treble, which caused huge repercussions all over the world.

With this Champions League, Gao Shen has become the first player in active football and the second head coach in the history of the Champions League to win three Champions Leagues. What's even more rare is that his three Champions Leagues were led by Acquired by three different teams.

UEFA even devoted a lot of space to reporting Gao Shen's deeds on the official website and singing praises for him.

Even FIFA made a special report and congratulated Gao Shen.

The major media in Europe and even the world are scrambling to praise the news, and even the United States, which is a football desert, is scrambling to report this news, not to mention Asia and China, the deep base camps.

Although he is not a player, it is obviously more difficult to achieve achievements in the field of head coach than a player.

But now, as an Asian, Gao Shen has won three Champions Leagues. The AFC even commented on the official website that Gao Shen is the light of Asian football!

China is also scrambling to report the news, from authoritative party magazines to newspapers and TV stations at all levels, all reported this news, which quickly aroused huge repercussions in the country, and countless people in the country are proud of the profound achievements and pride.

...

Neither Gao Shen nor Manchester City had time to pay attention to the outside news.

The morning after the team's championship, everyone woke up to find a bonus in their bank accounts.

This is what Mansour promised, the additional winning bonus.

The club has also begun to prepare for the payment of salaries and championship bonuses, which are performed in accordance with the previously signed contracts.

Everyone in the team happily counted the money, held the championship trophy, and headed north all the way back to Manchester.

When I returned to Manchester, a series of procedures started again.

Switching to an open bus, holding the three trophies of the league champion, the FA Cup champion and the Champions League champion, they started a mighty parade around the city, attracting nearly 300,000 Manchester City fans to the streets, all chasing Manchester City’s fans. bus.

The entire parade around the city lasted from noon to evening, and finally arrived at the Etihad Stadium.

Here, another grand celebration ceremony was held.

More than 50,000 die-hard Manchester City fans were able to enter the stadium to witness the arrival of the three championship trophies together with the Manchester City players. There were also important government officials such as the mayor of Manchester.

Gao Shen followed the process the whole time, and when it was time for him to speak, he was already hungry.

There is no way, I ate something casually in the morning, but I am hungry until now.

But even so, he still played to his eloquence advantage.

This is also Gao Shen's consistent forte.

He was always good at playing chicken blood and painting big cakes, and he made the fans so excited.

At the end of the ceremony, Manchester City booked a luxury hotel and held a celebration banquet.

Naturally, there was another busy day at the banquet.

After finally getting home, it was midnight, so I fell asleep directly.

This sleep lasted until nearly noon before waking up.

...

"You're awake."

Seeing Gao Shen go downstairs, sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading the newspaper,

Su Qing, who was listening to the TV news, heard the movement.

She got up quickly and asked the servant to bring out the lean meat porridge she had prepared for Gao Shen.

Gao Shen walked over, glanced at the newspaper, and then looked at the news, and found that although there was news about Manchester City winning the championship in today's newspaper, it was actually much less.

This is also normal.

In the era of information explosion, even a sudden national war may hardly last for three days, let alone such an annual Champions League final.

At best, it is Manchester City's triple crown, and the three profound Champions Leagues are more interesting.

"Don't read, there are still a lot of reports." Seeing Gao Shen standing there, Su Qing immediately came over to pull him.

In fact, she is also very proud of Gao Shen.

This is why she reads so many newspapers and news all at once.

Although she works in a ministry, she reads the newspaper every day, but she never pays attention to it almost all the time like recently.

When Gao Shen ate the lean meat porridge, he always felt that it was almost tasteless. If some preserved eggs were added, the taste would be even better.

After relaying what Mansour and Mubarak said before to Su Qing, the latter was quite surprised.

"Ireland will not accept playing in the Championship team. He has no shortage of suitors for Premier League teams, such as Aston Villa, as well as newly promoted Queens Park Rangers and Norwich. Don't think about it."

Gao Shen didn't want Ireland. Apart from being unable to buy it, there was another very important reason, that is, it was too expensive.

With the current situation of Leeds United, the best option is to train young players and sell them after they have achieved their worth.

For the time being, players at Ireland's level are too expensive to afford for the time being.

On the contrary, players of the right age such as Courtois, Trippier, Adam Lallana, Stones, etc., are in line with the requirements of Leeds United, and the most important thing is that their worth is not high, at one million pounds You can also pay in installments.

"Then what about the Kailor Navas you mentioned earlier?" Su Qing asked with a frown.

"I have already faxed the offer to Albacete according to what you said before, 300,000 euros, and they agreed, so don't we have two goalkeepers now?"

Gao Shen smiled wryly, this is really something he didn't expect, but it's nothing.

Only children do multiple-choice questions, but adults do all of them.

Courtois and Navas, this is a proper goalkeeper configuration that Real Madrid only has, what a luxury.

Navas is currently playing for Albacete in the second division of the West, but this unlucky team has been relegated this season and can only play in the third level of Spain in the new season, so Leeds United offered an offer of 300,000 euros. Tate of course agreed.

In fact, Navas did not play any games in Albacete, and he has not yet proved his strength.

In contrast, Courtois is the real immediate combat power, and Navas estimates that he still needs to adapt.

Although, Navas looks much older than Courtois.

And it's already Costa Rica.

...

Manchester City's sudden offer of such benefits really disrupted Gao Shen's original plan.

For example, on the right back, what Gao Shen originally wanted to do was to loan Real Madrid's Carvajal.

The reason why it is a loan, not a buyout, is because Carvajal is the captain of Real Madrid's second team and has already kicked out his worth. Now he can't buy it without three or four million euros.

Even if Gao Shen used his personal relationship to sell Real Madrid at a cheaper price, he would definitely have to sign a clause to resell to Real Madrid at a low price.

That being the case, why bother?

In contrast, Trippier is more suitable and the price is very cheap.

Gao Shen said that he wanted to create a lineup suitable for Sarri. This is really not what he said casually.

Sarri has been Gao Shen's deputy for three years, and Gao Shen knows his tactical ideas and preferences clearly.

As a non-professional head coach, Sarri can become a professional coach, the most important thing is his own exploration. In his previous life, he worked hard in the low-level leagues and came up with a set of tactics that fit his own philosophy. , and at the same time Sarripo who can function on the court.

In the past three years, Sarri has also taken his unformed Saaribo, learned from Gao Shen's side, absorbed nutrients, and used them for his own use. At the same time, he often discussed with Gao Shen about his own tactics. some problems.

It's like midfield.

In fact, for midfielders, the professional field of European football already has a relatively mature operating mechanism, which is the so-called formula.

In the Manchester United team in 1999, Giggs' advancement, Beckham's infinite distance transfer, Scholes' back-up and long-range shots, Roy Keane's coverage and scheduling.

Benitez's Liverpool has three midfielders, Mascherano's interception coverage and ball sorting, Harvey Alonso's wide-range transfer and organization and scheduling, Gerrard's back penetration and long shots.

Have you found it?

Compared with Manchester United's golden four midfielders, what Liverpool lacks is ball advancement, so Liverpool's offense has always been a problem.

Barcelona's three midfielders are also very interesting, Busquets' coverage and sorting of the ball, Harvey's organization and direct pass ability, and Iniesta's dribbling advancement.

Because Barcelona don't like long balls, they don't need long ball transfers like Xavi Alonso or Beckham.

Look at Manchester City now.

Harvey Martinez's coverage and combing, David Silva's dribbling and deep direct pass, Rakitic's long-range shots and distribution scheduling, among which the function of the organizer is shared David Silva and Rakitic.

Seeing this, I believe everyone should be clear that this is the midfield configuration of modern football. The difference is that different combinations are adopted according to different players.

For the same reason, this is why when Ancelotti's Chelsea performed poorly, Gao Shen concluded that after Joe Cole's comeback, Chelsea will definitely shine.

Because Chelsea's midfield also lacks ball progression, but Joe Cole can provide it.

Let's take a look at Real Madrid's three midfielders in the Champions League.

Casemiro's coverage and combing of the ball, Toni Kroos' unlimited range of transfers and long shots from behind, Modric's ball advancement and direct passes, Toni Kroos and Modric shared the organization scheduling.

In other words, the reason why the three midfielders of the ceremony can bring such an amazing effect to Real Madrid is that the three of them have done what Manchester United's golden four midfielders can do.

Here we only talk about the midfield function, and do not involve the comparison of who is stronger with the combined force of three or four.

The three midfielders that Sarri wants are actually a technical type who can control the ball and advance, an all-around type who can go up and down, and a back-up organization that provides coverage and connection.

Perhaps, seeing this, some people will be surprised.

Now that there is a consensus, why aren't all teams formed according to this formula?

The reason is simple, formulas are just formulas, but people are complicated.

For example, if the current Manchester City wants to dig Messi, then Gao Shen will definitely refuse.

Although Messi is indeed better and more powerful than Robben, Gao Shen will not sacrifice Robben for Messi.

For the same reason, Harvey is indeed better, but Gao Shen will not pursue Harvey and give up Rakitic because of this.

There are also Yaya Toure, who is so strong, if you really want to use a formula, where should you put it?

Sometimes, whether it is the team or the head coach, they are constantly making various choices.

Building a team has never been as simple as a formula.

Otherwise, everyone is a world famous coach.
