Eight Hundred and Thirty Eighth, the Nou Camp that Will Never Fall

Gao Shen understands his personality very well. He is a Virgo, with a strong desire to control and a perfectionist complex. some trouble.

For example, after the acquisition of Leeds United, he has already outlined a development blueprint for the White Rose in his mind.

From signings to the training base to the new stadium, he is very clear about the whole context.

This is the century-old foundation of Leeds United.

Time is like a whip, whipping Gao Shen constantly, making him keep moving forward.

He really has a sense of urgency because he knows which direction history is going to go next.

After time travelling, he experienced the subprime mortgage crisis, and now the European debt crisis. The world economy is relatively depressed, and all kinds of funds are frantically pouring into European football.

This is what many European football industry researchers say, the more depressed the economy is, the hotter the ball will be.

It was so then, and it is still so now.

So what will happen next?

The soaring value of players and soaring salaries will bring heavy operating pressure and burden to the club.

In addition, there is another thing that Gao Shen must pay attention to, that is, if he really wants to build a training base and a new stadium, he must move quickly, and as soon as possible.

Take Tottenham Hotspur.

In 2009, Tottenham started the construction plan of the new stadium, but it has been delayed until 2016. It took seven years to start construction, and the budget when it started was 500 million pounds.

But what happened next, everyone knows.

The rapid rise in costs of raw materials, labor and other aspects has caused the budget of Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium to soar, from 450 million pounds to 700 million pounds, then to 900 million pounds, and finally fixed at 1 billion pounds.

From 2016 to 2019, in just three years, the cost soared more than doubled.

More importantly, Gao Shen is very clear that once the price soars up, it will be difficult to come down in a short time.

The unlucky Tottenham's new stadium was opened in 2019, but the epidemic ushered in a year later.

Needless to say, fans are very aware of the huge impact of the epidemic on the entire European football world.

In the year of 2021, the world is not peaceful, and it can even be said to be turbulent. For example, some people have always said that Russia is going to attack Ukraine.

Gao Shen is not an expert, but he can guess that once it is fought, the cost of various raw materials and labor will further skyrocket, coupled with the epidemic, and the economic sluggishness of European countries, by that time, let alone planning With the new stadium, it is estimated that many clubs will not be able to operate.

Therefore, there is actually very little window time left for the profound.

He must do in the next few years what others can do in ten or even decades.

This is a very astonishing idea, Gao Shen has not even dared to reveal it to his wife until now, because he thinks that if he tells, Su Qing will definitely think he is crazy.

Who said no?

If it weren't for the advantages of the traveler, who would believe that a stadium that was originally budgeted to start construction at 450 million pounds would cost 1 billion pounds when it landed in three years?

What's more, once this kind of project starts, you can't stop it even if you want to.

Because once you stop, the loss will be even more painful.

Just like the new stadium in Valencia, once it stops, there is no possibility of further construction. Valencia's road to the rich is completely interrupted, and it will never be connected again.

In fact, Gao Shen has another choice, which is to make a fortune in silence.

He doesn't do anything, and keeps his income in droughts and floods every year, and sits firmly on the Diaoyutai. Once the club makes a profit, he will draw it out through various methods such as rent. When the time is right, he will directly cash out and sell it.

Anyway, running a club doesn't make much money, so it's better to make a fortune, and then several generations will be rich and free.

But this is really not a good choice for Gao Shen.

Because it's not his character.

Some people say that character determines destiny.

Therefore, Mourinho would rather die than smack Casillas, and even smack Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu.

Therefore, Gao Shen couldn't accept himself, just dawdling in such a mediocre way.

Either he will not do it, or if he wants to do it, he will do it with a big vote.

Not only does he want to be the best and most successful manager in the world, he also wants to be a celebrated club operator.

...

This is what Gao Shen was thinking alone after sitting in the hotel cafe and seeing off Pochettino and others.

He has also done a lot of work. For example, he feels that if the Chinese team of the infrastructure madman is invited to come over for construction, he should do a better job in terms of cost control and project progress.

But this will also bring about a problem at the government level, which requires him to communicate and coordinate.

He clearly remembers that when Inter Milan was rumored to build a new stadium, Moratti even went to China to visit China Railway Construction Corporation. It is said that the infrastructure construction madman can save a lot of costs by undertaking the construction.

This is also an option to consider.

All in all, in a word, cut down on food and clothing, and build up the training base and the new stadium first.

After laying this century-old foundation, it will be much easier to form a football team.

However, this is still a long-term thing.

Gao Shen's top priority right now is Barcelona.

Thinking of this, Gao Shen picked up the cold cup of coffee in front of him, drank it in one gulp, got up and left.

...

95877!

This is Barcelona's official notification, the number of fans sitting at the Nou Camp tonight.

Leaving aside some of the Manchester City fans who followed the team to the away game, more than 90,000 Barcelona fans came to the scene to cheer for the team.

When Gao Shen brought the Manchester City players to the Nou Camp Stadium, the audience boos overwhelmingly.

Gao Shen is the most unpopular person at Camp Nou!

Although, he has not set foot on this stadium for many years.

Even though, he was once the most popular head coach candidate for Barcelona fans.

But now, he is the nightmare in the hearts of Barcelona fans.

Especially when both AS and Marca swear that Gao Shen will coach Real Madrid this summer, it is impossible for Barcelona fans to have any favorable impression of Gao Shen.

Gao Shen was also psychologically prepared for this situation.

Even, he felt nothing.

After all, the fact that Barcelona fans were able to spend the night at the entrance of the hotel last night showed that they were truly emotional.

As long as their feelings are even a little false, they won't pay such a big cost.

The players arrived on the court and spontaneously entered the pre-match training.

Everything is in strict accordance with UEFA's regulations and procedures, and is arranged in an orderly manner.

Gao Shen didn't stay outside for long. After the players started training, he walked back to the locker room ahead of time, without seeing Guardiola during the whole process.

When he and his assistants were making final preparations before the game, Barcelona's starting lineup came out.

Goalkeeper: Valdes.

Defense: Vargas, Puyol, Pique and Alves.

Midfield: Iniesta, Busquets and Xavi.

Forwards: Sanchez, Aguero and Messi.

"It seems that you guessed wrong." When Carlo saw the list, he looked at Gao Shen with a smile.

Gao Shen clicked his tongue twice. He originally thought that Tang Tangdi would play a back three, or adjust the team's offense or something.

Unexpectedly, Guardiola did nothing.

So what the hell is he still struggling with?

What?

He's not bothered?

impossible!

Based on his deep understanding of Guardiola, he might not have had much rest last night.

"What?" Carlo asked.

Others also looked at Gao Shen.

The opponent's formation has come out. At this moment, Barcelona must have got a high-level starting lineup, and there is no change.

"I Have a Book of Ghosts and Gods"

Before this kind of competition, Gao Shen will generally not make major changes easily, unless he is very sure.

"The original plan!" Gao Shen made a prompt decision.

...

In fact, Gao Shen really guessed right.

Guardiola has been tangled up and down for a long time, repeated several times, and finally returned to the old route.

This is because Gao Shen once said to him, "When you are not sure enough, it is best to trust your first instinct, and that is often the right choice."

Guardiola's first instinct was actually to go to Cesc Fabregas and win Aguero.

The advantage of this is that the team's midfield will have more control.

Many people don't know that Fabregas was originally a striker in Barcelona, ​​and he played as a false nine, which is just right.

But Fabregas at home, rather than Aguero, is somewhat conservative.

So Guardiola chose the first instinct of four-three-three, but replaced Fabregas with Aguero. In this way, the team's frontcourt attack power will be stronger.

In terms of midfield, the most important ones are Harvey, Iniesta, and even Messi. Their running ability has declined a lot.

Barcelona on the court seems to have a stronger ability to control the ball, but in fact, Guardiola knows it well, and most of the time he controls the ball for the sake of possession, without too much threat.

The reason is that players are reluctant to run away.

The less running, the less pulling, and the less threatening offenses.

But this lineup is the foundation of Barcelona.

Not to mention Guardiola, even Roselle couldn't shake him.

This gave Guardiola a sense of fatigue.

Manchester City's starting lineup is still four-three-three.

Goalkeeper: Noyiner.

Defense: Felipe, David Luiz, Kompany and Lichtsteiner.

Midfield: Javi Martinez trails, Yaya Toure and Rakitic center.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Suarez and Arjen Robben.

One notable change to Gao Shen's starting lineup is the replacement of David Silva with Yaya Toure.

At first glance, this is to strengthen the midfielder's interception and defense, but Yaya Toure's attack power is not weak at all, especially his back penetration, which is very threatening.

In addition, a midfield composed of Javi Martinez, Yaya Toure and Rakitic will be tough defensively.

"Be careful of Manchester City's opening attack. We must enter the rhythm of the game in the shortest possible time, control the ball and the situation, and not give them the chance to score away goals!"

Guardiola said it very seriously because he knows the depths very well.

Vilanova nodded, "I will remind the players."

But it sounds like he doesn't really care.

At Camp Nou, Barcelona has absolute confidence!

This is a strong fortress that will never fall!
