Kapitel 4: Chapter 4 Declare war on superstars

"This is a manuscript specially prepared by the PR department for you."

As soon as Gao Shen followed Raul to the administrative office of the Bernabéu Stadium, the sports director Frollo greeted him.

Floro once coached Real Madrid in 1939, but he was fired after being exposed by the media because he yelled at the players in the locker room. After that, he coached many teams. He once went to Japan, and the coaching was very bad. Succeeded, but then got the support of some people in the board of directors and became Real Madrid's sporting director.

Unlike the star-studded, high-end Real Madrid in the eyes of most fans, Real Madrid in reality is actually quite chaotic, and its interior is full of various conflicts of interests.

Take the management system as an example.

There is a general manager under the chairman of the club, and there is also a little-known chairman's office. The latter is equivalent to the chairman's private think tank, and is usually helmed by the most trusted confidant of the chairman, such as Florentino's chairman's office director It was Manuel Redondo, his secretary who had been with him for decades.

The general manager is responsible for the daily operation of the club. There are many different departments below, including the sports department, which has a sports director. In theory, the sports director is in charge of all sports affairs, including the basketball and football departments.

When Florentino took office as chairman, former Real Madrid hero Valdano served as the sports director. However, his performance was not good and Valdano stepped down. Florentino hired world-class marshal Sacchi. As technical director, directly responsible to the chairman.

In this way, the technical director is almost at the same level as the general manager, but since he is only in charge of the football department, many sports affairs need to be taken care of by one person, so Floro became the sports director.

But soon something went wrong again.

Because of the poor performance of the team, the head coach Luxenberg and the technical director Saki stepped down, and the technical director was concurrently held by the vice chairman Butragueno. Too many things, so only the first team, the second team and the youth team were handed over to the sports director Floro.

This situation lasted only three months, Florentino announced his resignation, and the new chairman Martin took office.

So now Real Madrid's internal management is a mess.

The team lost 0-1 at home to Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League, and the second leg at Highbury became crucial; before that, the city derby against Atletico Madrid on the weekend was also unbeatable, and the league results were also under great pressure .

But at such a time, the new chairman Martin also fired Carlo and appointed Gao Shen, which made everyone even more anxious.

At this moment, everyone in the Real Madrid office is thinking about one thing, and that is how to resolve the pressure of public opinion from the outside world.

To put it simply, it is to help the new chairman wipe his ass clean.

In any case, the new chairman also represents the image and interests of Real Madrid.

Therefore, no one would pay attention to Gao Shen at all.

After Frollo handed over the manuscript prepared by the PR department to Gao Shen, he just told him, "Don't be nervous when you get on stage, just read the manuscript. As for the questioning session, we have also arranged it." In his opinion, Gao Shen is just a fledgling rookie.

No one around Gao Shen also paid attention to him, and no one from the public relations department even came to tell Gao Shen what to say and what not to say when he was on stage.

Everyone regards him as a tool for reading manuscripts on stage!

Gao Shen knew that he was a soft-spoken person now and was not taken seriously, but he didn't take it to heart. He took the manuscript to a corner where no one was paying attention, and found that it was all empty talk without any real content.

With a draft of this level, before he crossed over, he could casually improvise for half an hour without repetition.

It is the first time to face the media as the head coach of Real Madrid. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to speak out. Just reading the manuscript? joke!

Gao Shen tore up the manuscript and threw it directly into the trash can next to it.

...

This press conference attracted many media reporters, but the process was as Gao Shen guessed.

At the meeting, the new chairman Martin repeatedly emphasized that his choice of Gao Shen as the head coach was a deliberate decision. He said that he had observed Gao Shen for a long time, and he believed that Gao Shen had the ability and courage to lead Real Madrid out of the predicament.

He emphatically emphasized that Gao Shen graduated from Loughborough University, which is the number one university in the global sports world. Gao Shen had excellent academic performance during his school days and also performed well during his internship at Real Madrid. He was promoted to the first team as an exception and accumulated experience with the team. .

This made Gao Shen, who was sitting upright next to him, a little ashamed, he didn't know that he was so good, and was so valued by the leaders.

Thinking about it is still too low-key.This is still to be blamed on the national football team, which plays too badly, causing the Chinese people to seriously lack self-confidence in football.

All in all, Martin has collected a lot of evidence, just to prove to everyone that his choice of advanced is serious, and it is by no means a so-called farce. The starting point is that he feels that Real Madrid needs an impulsive, drastic, and traumatic reform.

"From 2003 to now, we have not won even a championship, which is unacceptable in any case, and even we are likely to stop at the top 16 of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, which is also unsatisfactory."

" We all know that our team is sick, a very serious illness, and our team needs surgery, a major surgery."

Then Martin praised his proficiency, thinking that his youth and drive are exactly what he is doing right now. What Real Madrid needs most.

After the chairman and technical director Butragueno, Gao Shen also spoke as the head coach of Real Madrid for the first time.

In fact, it is memorizing manuscripts.

The entire speech explained Gao Shen's current situation of Real Madrid and the solutions he envisioned, which were full of falsehoods and evasion of the important, none of which was down-to-earth.

After Gao Shen finished reciting, the reaction of the media reporters on the scene was also very flat.

These people are all well-informed, and they are just playing with pens. If there are any dry goods, don't they know?

After Gao Shen memorized the manuscript, he entered the free questioning session.

Don't look at the many people raising their hands below, but there are obviously routines. For example, the first person to be named is a reporter from Real Madrid TV, who is his own person. The reporter from the Card newspaper is still his own person, and the fourth is a reporter from the National Newspaper, who is still his own person... The

reporters asked serious questions, and the people on the stage answered them seriously.

Gao Shen was not in a hurry, and patiently waited for the opportunity.

He believes that with the cunning of media reporters, they will ask him sooner or later.

Sure enough, the subsequent rounds of questions gradually became sharper, and some reporters even directly asked what Martin said at the board meeting that more than half of the incompetent players should be fired.

But this time Martin was obviously discouraged, and he played a sloppy eye.

Of course the media reporters were not satisfied, so they targeted Gao Shen next to him.

Young people are easily impulsive.

First, there were two light questions in succession, such as how do you think about coaching Real Madrid, these are all expected.

But soon, trouble started.

"Gao, I am a reporter from Catalan Daily Sports. The chairman, Mr. Martin, said on the board of directors that more than half of Real Madrid's players failed and should be purged and left the team. As the executor of this policy, You have received great expectations from the chairman and the management, how do you plan to implement this policy? How do you lead Real Madrid out of the current predicament?"

As soon as this question came out, there was an uproar at the scene, and the media reporters in the audience were like chicken blood. excited.

Gao Shen is not a rookie just out of school, how can he not hear the trap in his words?

He pretended to ponder, and at the same time secretly turned his head to look at the press officer. The latter secretly winked and shook his head at him, signaling him not to answer directly. Facing such a situation, I was afraid that he might say something wrong, and wanted to resolve the situation first.

But at this moment, Gao Shen spoke out.

"Although I have only been in Real Madrid for seven months, I have already deeply felt the historical heritage of this club."

Gao Shen's opening was quite satisfactory, but he quickly changed the topic.

"I know that the performance of the first team is not ideal. Some players even make us doubt whether he has the qualifications to wear the Real Madrid jersey. In our youth team, we have a group of very good, very young and dynamic, and at the same time Players who are very loyal to the club, I know them well, and I hope to give them more opportunities." Gao Shen's words surprised Martin, Butragueno and others sitting on the rostrum. The content in the speech, what is he trying to do?

Who gave him the courage to act recklessly?

But the depth continues.

"I will use the facts to prove that the reason why Real Madrid is Real Madrid is because of unity and the spirit of Juanito who gave his last breath, not a certain person or some people in the team! I always insist , in Real Madrid, all players are equal, no one is qualified to be special, no matter who he is!"

Gao Shen's words were resounding, and immediately the press conference hall was blown up.

All media reporters read too much information from these few sentences.

Is this a declaration of war on the superstars?

Compared with the excitement of the media reporters, the Real Madrid people at the scene, including Raul, Butragueno, and Martin, were all stunned, and even a little terrified. Can such words be said? Can you say it in front of so many media reporters?

Six years!

The superstar policy has always been the political correctness of Real Madrid!

Now, the head coach of Real Madrid, even though he is only an agent, has declared war on the superstars in public. Is this trying to subvert it?

If the media reporter just wanted to take a bullet from Gao Shen's mouth before, then Gao Shen just dropped a missile right now, making everyone dizzy.

The new chairman, Martin, was even more shocked. He turned his head to look at Butragueno, as if asking: What is your PR department doing? Didn't you match your lines with him before?

Butragueno was also stunned, Gao Shen's sudden move caught them off guard.

Feeling the anger of the new chairman, Butragueno turned to look at Floro, what did you tell him? Didn't you mean to read from the script? Why did you say so much out of script?

Frollo was also stunned. He didn't expect that Gao Shen would be so bold to declare war on superstars in front of so many media reporters. What is he trying to do?

Is this kid crazy?

When Martin saw the expressions of Butragueno and Frollo, he knew it in his heart, and when he looked at Gao Shen, his eyes became different.

Fortunately, this kid was like a boring gourd before, dare to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, just waiting for this opportunity!

It's all over now, what he said directly pierced a hole in the sky, everything was laid out on the table, and he even kidnapped himself, forcing himself to endorse him.

Not to mention anything else, he came forward to say now that Gao Shen didn't instigate what he said, who would believe it?

The eagle who has been playing with the eagle all his life is now pecked by the bird.
