Eight Hundred and Eighty Eighty, Gao Shen Is Not Coming?

Florentino was not in a good mood.

This is something that can be seen throughout the Bernabéu.

Real Madrid's transfer was unexpectedly smooth, thanks to Florentino and his team's early preparations.

Whether it's Ronaldo, Kaka, or Benzema, Real Madrid contacted them early on. As soon as they took office, they signed the agreement immediately. Now it's just a matter of finding a suitable time to announce it to the outside world.

Real Madrid is going to hold a huge meeting for Kaka and Ronaldo at the Bernabéu Stadium.

This is also an important task for Real Madrid next.

Returning to the Bernabeu without any surprises and signings without any surprises, everything did not surprise Florentino and his team, but his mood could not be better.

Only those who are most familiar with him know that it is because he miscalculated in the most important and crucial link.

That is the head coach Gao Shen!

Florentino really did not expect that Gao Shen gave up the opportunity to coach the star-studded Real Madrid and chose to go to Manchester City.

What about Manchester City?

There isn't a single big-name player, only one, Robinho, who barely got a foothold in the front line, but now has fallen to an unknown line.

But what about Real Madrid?

Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Di Maria, Harvey Alonso...

The point is, there is still a group of his good friends here, as well as everything he is familiar with.

But he didn't come if he couldn't come, and went directly to Manchester City.

In Florentino's plan, if Gao Shen is willing to coach Real Madrid, the current momentum of the second phase of the Galacticos will completely overwhelm Barcelona, ​​because Gao Shen just beat Barcelona 4-0 in the Champions League final.

But Gao Shen did not come, and the scene that Florentino expected did not appear.

Now, Florentino has a feeling that he has set up the stage, but the protagonist is not singing.

How could this make him happy?

Not to mention, can Pellegrini manage the star-studded Real Madrid?

...

"We've already spent 307 million euros this summer,

The response from the market is very enthusiastic, and the public opinion is the highest in the world. I took the time to talk to the sponsors in the past few days, and they are basically satisfied, saying that they can start a new round of negotiations on sponsorship fees. "

CEO Jose Sanchez describes progress this summer.

He was originally Real Madrid's marketing and sales director, and was promoted to CEO after Florentino returned to Real Madrid.

Yes, Florentino has carried out a new round of transformation of Real Madrid's management in a short period of time.

"After the contract with Bingying expires, we will not renew the contract, which is very detrimental to our brand image." Florentino gave instructions. Bingying is now the chest advertising sponsor of Real Madrid. Reputable bookmaker.

As a century-old wealthy family, it is a great shame and humiliation to advertise for a gaming company on his own chest.

"Understood." Jose Sanchez nodded.

At the beginning, he was the one who discussed the sponsorship, but in fact he was quite helpless.

Both Calderon and Mijatovic wanted it, and he couldn't help it.

In those few years, the European football market was sluggish. Even for Real Madrid, chest sponsorships were hard to sell.

In 2002, Real Madrid signed Ronaldo, but the chest ad did not sell, who would believe it?

In 2003, Beckham was signed, and Real Madrid's chest advertisement was sold to Samsung Electronics, but the other party was only willing to sign for three years.

In 2006, BenQ Electronics went bankrupt after only signing for one year.

Therefore, in the general environment of 2007, not only Real Madrid chose to win, but many other wealthy teams chose to cooperate with gaming companies, which is also a kind of compromise.

But now it seems that Florentino is unwilling to make up for it, for fear that Real Madrid's brand image will be affected.

"The problem of redundant staff in the administrative department must be resolved as soon as possible. You tell Calderon that if I don't send him and Mijatovic to prison, it's considered merciful. He'd better let his people get out of here. , otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” When Florentino mentioned this ex, his heart became angry.

What a waste!

The majestic chairman of Real Madrid was actually played like this by the people under his hands, which completely embarrassed Real Madrid.

"Understood, I will tell them." Jose Sanchez can be said to be the veteran of the three dynasties.

When the CEO of Real Madrid left, only Zidane, Valdano, Butragueno and general manager Manuel Redondo were left in the chairman's office. Lorentino's confidant.

"I heard that Gao Shen has been in Barcelona recently, what is he going to do?" Florentino asked.

Valdano, Zidane and Butragueno looked at each other, obviously not very clear.

"I only know that he has been to Valencia once." Zidane replied.

He and Gao Shen often talk on the phone, but there are some things he can't say.

On the one hand, he guessed it himself, on the other hand, it was considered a private matter.

"Villa? David Silva? Or Juan Mata?" Florentino asked.

"I don't know." Zidane shook his head.

Florentino frowned, "I'm going to talk to Llorente some other day, it's been so many years, our players have been to Valencia, why don't they sell them to us? Is he going to watch the tragedy of Mendieta happen again and again?"

The whole world knows that Real Madrid and Valencia are not sworn enemies, but Valencia is unwilling to sell its star to Real Madrid.

The most famous is Mendieta at the beginning of the century.

When Valencia reached the Champions League final twice, Mendieta was in the limelight for a while, and he can be called the top superstar in the world.

Florentino's Real Madrid is also determined to win Mendieta. The player has personally promised to join Real Madrid, but Valencia does not agree with life or death. In the end, he even prefers to sell Mendieta to Lazio in Serie A at a lower price. Letting him join Real Madrid eventually led to Mendieta's rapid fall in Serie A, and a generation of superstars eventually became a tragedy.

Valencia's unwillingness to sell players to Real Madrid is not because of fear of Real Madrid's strength, but because of the opposition of the fans.

In the 1990s, Real Madrid completely offended Valencia in order to recruit Mijatovic from Valencia. This is true for Villa and David Silva.

However, it is also interesting to say that the central defender Albiol was transferred from Valencia.

So, at the end of the day, there is still a choice.

"It should be David Silva." Valdano speculated.

"How do you say?" Florentino's expression softened slightly.

He actually paid more attention to David Villa.

This is the one who replaced Raul in the Spanish national team.

"According to the news we got, Manchester City launched an attack on Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder Modric, and even offered an offer of 50 million euros, but Tottenham Hotspur still insisted on not letting go. Again and again, Modric is not for sale."

Having said that, Valdano shook his head and sighed, "Modric is the core midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur. Redknapp even threatened that if the club sells Modric, he will resign. so……"

"The Premier League team is really not short of money." Florentino laughed.

50 million euros, buy a midfielder who performed well in the Premier League but is not yet a superstar, don't sell it!

"David Silva doesn't need so much money at all. If we want it, we should sell it quickly, just in case." Valdano reminded.

Florentino shook his head, "Didn't you hear what Sanchez said just now? We have already spent more than 300 million yuan, and what we need to do most now is to remove the redundant members of the team, such as Sneijder and Robben, as soon as possible. , Van der Vaart and a group of players were sold to withdraw funds and make room for salary.”

"At this point, we can no longer enter into the transfer of David Silva."

Valdano looked at Zidane and nodded helplessly.

In fact, David Silva is really a very good midfielder, and more importantly, if he can see the depth, it will definitely not be bad.

But unfortunately, Real Madrid already has Kaka.

"Notify the player's agent and let them find the team by themselves. According to our current funding gap, at least 100 million euros must be withdrawn from the current group of players." Florentino's face was also a little dignified .

Spending money is great, but the pressure to withdraw funds is also very high.

Florentino now feels a little desperate. He has to complete the work of the past few seasons in one summer, but the amount of funds is also amazing. He has invested more than 300 million yuan, but Real Madrid doesn't have that much money at all.

Now it is only possible to pay the player transfer fee in installments, and then borrow part of it through the bank, and at the same time sell the existing players in the team to quickly withdraw part of the funds.

But the problem is that Real Madrid buys players in installments, and the other party still has to pay in installments when buying Real Madrid players.

Therefore, Real Madrid's financial pressure is still very high.

This is actually obvious.

Not to mention a club, even if it is a multinational company, it would definitely hurt the muscles and bones if they paid out more than 300 million euros at once, so Real Madrid's current capital chain is also quite tight.

Among these people, Robben is undoubtedly the most valuable.

Huntelaar, Sneijder, van der Vaart and other players are all around 15 million euros, but although Robben has declined compared to when he joined that year, he still needs at least 25 million euros.

This is Real Madrid's bottom line.

If it still doesn't work, you can only sell youth training players, such as Xavi Garcia, Miguel Torres and others, and return the funds as soon as possible after selling.

In any case, the capital chain must not be broken!

"Understood, I will start as soon as possible." Valdano nodded.

Just when the atmosphere in the office was a little dignified, Zidane's phone rang suddenly.

Caller ID: Gao Shen.

Zidane suddenly laughed, turned on the phone screen towards Florentino and Valdano, and immediately picked it up.

"Hey Kao, I was talking about you to Florentino and Jorge... What about you? Haha, are we talking about poaching Barcelona...Really? That's fine, put May West dug away, we don't worry..."

"Are you going to poach the corner of our Real Madrid? You are quite brave, okay, come here, I promise I won't beat you to death!"

"What? In Madrid?"

Zidane heard this, looked at Florentino, and then at Valdano, and was a little confused.

This guy is really elusive!
