Nine Hundred and Sixty-Nine La Liga or the Champions League, I Will Win One!
The reason why European football is the core of world football lies in the rigorous and reasonable system.
Such as fixtures and transfer periods.
When Gao Shen was a fan in his previous life, he once thought about an interesting question: What would happen if there was no transfer period?
For a while, when he played FM Football Manager, he was a standard save/load maniac, just in case.
If he encounters a team that he can’t beat no matter what, he will try his best to use BT modifiers to change the core players to be injured before the game. If he encounters a team he likes, he will directly change it to his own team .
In fact, this is also the problem in reality.
If there is no transfer period, wouldn't the wealthy teams be able to poach the opponent's core players before the game?
Isn't the league messed up?
Summer transfer and winter transfer are just before and during the season. The former is for team formation, while the latter is for supplementation and improvement. Moreover, the summer transfer window is long and there are many players to choose from. Winter transfer The window is different, the time is short and the options are small.
Therefore, the vast majority of teams, under normal circumstances, will not operate winter transfers.
Real Madrid's biggest problem now is Marcelo's injury, resulting in a vacancy for the team's left back.
At the same time, the lack of substitute players in the midfield and frontcourt also exposed Real Madrid's problems.
For example, on the two wings, Ronaldo and Di Maria are the main players, but the substitutes are young players, such as Jesse and Vazquez.
In the midfield, Toni Kroos, Modric, Verratti, and Kaka are the four players in the rotation, and Isco and Granero have very little playing time.
Gao Shen also has a headache about this.
If it is said that Isco is still young and needs to be adjusted again, it is indeed not very suitable for Granero to stay on the bench at this age, and it will only hinder the development of the players.
So, the profound attitude is, if a player is interested in Granero, then sell it.
After more than half a year, he can be seen that it is really difficult for Granero to gain a foothold in Real Madrid.
...
"cough.
"
Florentino coughed lightly and looked at Valdano.
The Argentine knew it well, and immediately smiled awkwardly, "Gao, we are talking about buying people now."
"Yes, it is easy to talk about selling people. We will help Granero choose a suitable La Liga team, but it is difficult to buy people, especially our left back." Butragueno also Hurry up and say something.
Before, there were rumors that there was a disagreement between Gao Shen and Florentino.
There is no reason why there is no wind without waves.
Real Madrid's management is indeed looking for a left back, and it has indeed been in contact with Bayern, but Bayern refuses to talk about it.
The biggest difference between Real Madrid under Florentino's leadership and Barcelona's poaching players is that the opposing team must be willing to sell people, instead of contacting and poaching in private.
Barcelona's approach has a very bad reputation in European football.
The most typical is to dig Cesc Fabregas and Alexander Song.
Has anyone ever seen a team poach someone and directly put the jersey on the player while the player is participating in the national team?
Who has ever seen someone poach someone, promise a high salary, encourage other players to fight with the original club, but hide behind?
Sometimes, Gao Shen was thinking, afterward, Barcelona bought more and more expensive people. In the final analysis, everyone was guarding against him, meaning to pay for the previous series of actions and pay off the debts.
Of course, the Barcelona management's own enthusiasm is also a key reason.
What's even more interesting is that these players who tried to buy them didn't even use them well, which is a bit outrageous.
It is precisely because of Real Madrid's consistent style that when Bayern refused to sell Alaba, Real Madrid really had no move.
Those who want to take the next best thing, such as Siqueira, such as Monreal, and even Naples' Alex Sandro and Leeds United's Kurzawa, are among Real Madrid's signing targets.
But the profound point of view is that the team should not sign in during the winter break.
Until now, he has insisted on this point of view.
"Group of Death
It has brought us tremendous pressure. All of us seem to have experienced a tempering of ice and fire. Many players have made great progress, such as Carvajal, who now has the ability to play alone. "
"Qualifying from the group of death is also very encouraging to the players. The atmosphere in the locker room is quite good now. Everyone is very united, with the same goal and direction."
Speaking of this, Gao Shen looked at Butragueno and Valdano, "You should know that this is a very ideal state."
If a team wants to achieve results, strength is only a foundation, the key is to be able to exert its strength.
For the eleven players on the court, if they want to show their strength, the most important thing is to unite and have a common goal and direction.
The Group of Death is a test, but it's also stressful.
Under tremendous pressure, the Real Madrid dressing room condensed.
"I dare say, this can produce results." Gao Shen gave his own judgment very firmly.
As the best head coach in the world, everyone basically agrees with his judgment.
"Now in the transfer market, there are really no suitable players, such as our wingers, Gareth Bale, Arjen Robben, Messi, Sanchez, Ribery, or Hazard, but none of us can do it. Can't buy it."
"In midfield, David Silva, Rakitic, De Bruyne, or Javi Martinez, it's fine, but obviously, we can't buy it either."
Gao Shen's requirements are very clear. His requirements for midfielders are technically exquisite and comprehensive.
But this type of player is very rare, and they can only be cultivated by themselves.
For example, David Silva played as a midfielder when he was in Valencia, but in Manchester City, he was trained as a central midfielder and his defense has also improved a lot.
There is also Rakitic, who was also an attacking midfielder when he first debuted, and he was still a genius attacking midfielder, but under the advanced training, he became a midfielder.
The same is true of Toni Kroos in the Real Madrid team now.
The front midfielder and the left midfielder were born, but now Gao Shen puts him on the left central midfielder.
Many people think that the German midfielder is inconspicuous and looks inconspicuous, but he is the stabilizer of Real Madrid's midfielder.
But players like that are really hard to find.
"You know, our current team is just at a very critical stage, and the integration is very good, but as long as there is news of selling or buying people at this time, people will be confused."
"It's not impossible to buy a left back. The key is that Marcelo is expected to come back in February. Buenaventura and Pintus have a good evaluation of his recovery. By then, our manpower will become bloated. "
"So, it's easy to buy people now, Marcos Alonso, Nacho, even Arbeloa, what do these people think?"
The deep concern is from the perspective of locker room management.
Gao Shen can say whatever he wants if he doesn't buy people, but if he buys people and brings survival crisis to the players, it's useless to say anything.
Sometimes, locker room management is not just an internal matter, it is often an external problem.
"There is also a midfielder. Kaka is performing very well now and has fighting spirit. Isco can also get some opportunities. We are also actively cultivating him, but if we buy another one, we will have more midfielders."
According to the profound meaning, Toni Kroos and Modric are the main players, Verratti and Isco should focus on training, and Kaka can also play a role in many cases.
If you buy another one, what will you buy it for?
It will only make the team's competition more tragic.
The matter of internal competition is not necessarily that the more intense the better, but it must be properly controlled.
After that, the locker room is in chaos.
Florentino knew very well that what Gao Shen said was more for him.
"We mainly consider Kaka's age." Jose Sanchez said from the side.
Gao Shen immediately understood.
Some teams want Kaka.
In fact, everyone knows that Kaka will not stay long in Real Madrid.
No team can accept a player with such a high salary and not playing many games.
Therefore, it is normal for Kaka to leave the team.
"Give him another half a year!" Gao Shen looked at Jose Sanchez, the general manager of Real Madrid.
"I promised him before that I would try my best to help him realize his wish this season, so he worked very hard no matter in training or competition. I think we should give him a face."
At the end, Gao Shen still looked at Florentino.
Back then, Kaka could have gone to Manchester City, but Florentino came forward, so he chose to stay in AC Milan.
But who would have thought that after transferring to Real Madrid, Kaka would encounter a series of injuries, coupled with his own decision-making mistakes, which led to him being reduced to this point now.
Whether it is public or private, Real Madrid is benevolent.
"Do you think Kaka can still help the team?" Florentino asked.
"He's part of the cohesion of the team."
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, the locker room is the same as the office.
"How sure are you?" Florentino asked again.
"La Liga or the Champions League, I will win one!" Gao Shen said very firmly.
Florentino thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then what do you need me to do?"
Gao Shen smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Just stand up and show the attitude of the management. If you don't transfer during the winter break, you won't sell people!"
Florentino nodded and agreed, "Gao, in the future, if you don't get La Liga or the Champions League and you dismiss the get out of class, don't say any more, I won't agree, it's useless if you say it, it will only cause trouble for the PR department. "
Gao Shen smiled and looked at Butragueno, who kept nodding with a bitter face.
"Also, we are a membership-only club, and we are not allowed to make a profit. It is understandable not to sign players during the winter break, but we still have to find a way next summer and spend some money to go out, otherwise I, the chairman, will not be able to pay the job."
Gao Shen nodded, "Then you can take a look, Alaba, midfielder, winger, and see if there is any suitable one."
After a pause, Gao Shen smiled again, "If it still doesn't work, just remodel the Bernabéu."
Florentino was full of enthusiasm, but shook his head regretfully, "Now is not the time, the team's performance has not improved, and the team hastily started to reform. Once the funds are tight, you will trouble me again at that time."
Dare to feel, he is also quite depressed as the chairman of Real Madrid.
Gao Shen seldom saw Florentino's expression like this, so he also smiled immediately.
"Don't worry, neither I nor the players will let you down!"
