One Hundred and Fifty-Two Famous Harvesters

After leaving the hotel where De Laurentiis was staying, Gao Shen took a taxi and returned to the hotel he booked in advance.

After checking in, he entered the room to take a shower and changed his clothes. Gao Shen called Saki who was far away in Italy.

Since the senior met at Florentino's dinner last time, he would call Gao Shen from time to time. After Gao Shen resigned from Real Madrid, Sacchi immediately stood up to speak for him.

For this, Gao Shen is still grateful.

This time Naples came to the door, and it was also through Saki's relationship. He should tell Saki if he is emotional and reasonable.

Knowing that De Laurentiis from Naples rushed straight to the capital to meet Gao Shen, Sacchi laughed from ear to ear on the phone.

"I've heard it a long time ago. This guy's behavior is very vigorous and decisive. Whenever he thinks about it, he will do it."

However, Saki also revealed some news to Gao Shen.

De Laurentiis doesn't actually have much money, not to mention comparing with the rich bosses behind Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, even Sensi in Rome and Craniotti in Lazio back then. Much richer than him.

The reason why he took over Naples is out of emotion on the one hand, and investment considerations on the other.

Gao Shen also thinks it's normal, human beings always have selfish motives.

Many times, fans are emotional. They are used to being emotional, but they never thought that emotion is the most unreliable thing in the world, because it is fickle.

You might like it one day, but not the next.

But the interests are different. It doesn't matter if you like it or not, it is important to have interests.

This should be the biggest conflict between fans and club managers.

Now that we talked about Rome and Lazio, Gao Shen remembered what De Laurentiis said, he wanted to make Naples the strongest opponent of the northern trio.

"If I remember correctly, the Sensi of Rome and Craniotti of Lazio you mentioned just now thought the same way back then. What is the reason?" Gao Shen asked curiously.

Saki smiled and explained why.

It is quite simple to say, it is the region.

The economic gap between the north and the south of Italy is very large. The capital is Rome in the south, but the economy has always been dominated by the north. Even many people in the world think that Milan is the capital of Italy.

"When you grow up, you may not feel that kind of emotion, but in the 80s, there was no Internet, no globalization, and even live TV. The growth of a team was completely dependent on being rooted in the local area. The market, that is ticket revenue."

"In that era, the feelings of fans were often vented through the team. In the same city, two different teams represented different classes in the football field. In the same country, two different teams represented different nationalities and regions,

It's life and death on the pitch, that's derby. "

"In any case, in terms of economy, politics, and even all aspects, the North does have a greater say in Italy. This is also the case in the field of football. The three northern teams have always been the most powerful team in Italian football."

"Whether it was Rome and Lazio back then, or Naples now, as a southern team, they are rooted in the local market. Naturally, they have to respond to the sentiment of the southern fans, and they naturally have to challenge the three heroes of the north."

Gao Shen understood what Saki said.

In the few years at the turn of the century, Rome and Lazio in the south really invested a lot. How many world superstars were acquired by the Roman duo, and even once overwhelmed the northern trio.

But it is a pity that in the end, the Roman duo was also weak in succession, and could not continue to compete with the northern trio in terms of financial resources.

In the final analysis, they have not found a sustainable development path.

In the field of professional football, if you want to continue to develop, you must generate income.

From this point of view, Florentino was actually right.

If you cannot generate income, you will have no foundation for sustainable development. Even if you rise in the world, it will be difficult to operate for a long time.

As for the feelings that Sacchi talked about, in fact, with the Bosman Act, the development of live TV, and the advent of the Internet and the era of globalization, such feelings have become weaker and weaker, and the barriers have long since been broken.

To put it bluntly, they are all ordinary people, they all like strong teams, and they all like to win.

One of the few that still has this kind of emotion, the most famous is the century derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But although the barriers have been broken, tradition still shapes each team very differently.

For example, in Serie A, the temperament of the three northern teams and the southern teams is completely different.

"I once told you that as big as a country or a city, as small as a team or a person, they all have their own unique characters and temperament." Sacchi continued to talk, "You have coached Spain, so you You must know that the temperament of the northern Spanish team is completely different from that of Madrid, Catalonia and southern teams."

Gao Shen agreed, and even the northern teams such as Athletic Bilbao, Racing Santander, Osasuna, Real Sociedad, etc. do not seem to be strong, but they have always been a nightmare for strong teams, because the northern teams The away game is too difficult to play.

It's hard to describe that feeling specifically, as if these teams are always very excited when they meet strong teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and their fighting will at home is very strong.

"In the same way, in Italy, the character and temperament of the southern teams are completely different from those of the northern teams. Even in the south, the personalities and temperament of teams like Naples, Roma and Lazio are also very different, although they are all natural. It has a sense of fate of fighting against the northern tyrants."

"I have talked with many people, and we all feel that the reason why Maradona joined Naples back then, the reason why he was able to succeed in Naples, and is still praised by the Neapolitan people today is that the temperament and personality between them are very good. fit."

When Saki said this, he gave what he wanted to express.

"So, when you choose a team, you should also pay attention to these issues. Does the team's culture, temperament and personality match yours? If you are in tune, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you are not in tune, you will get twice the result with half the effort, or even... "

Gao Shen understood what Saki meant.

There are actually many such examples. Some head coaches are doomed to fail from the day they sign the coaching contract.

For this issue, Gao Shen is also more concerned.

This is actually the reason why he is not very interested in Naples. Although he knows that this team has a bright future and the boss is willing to vote even though he does not have much money, he is still worried.

Saki understood Gao Shen's concern, but he remembered another interesting thing.

"De Laurentiis is not that simple. I have heard some things about him. This person seems outrageous, but there are many mysteries, such as their current coach Rea."

I got to know the Naples head coach deeply, but there is not much information.

Before crossing, when he paid attention to Naples, the head coach was no longer Rea.

"Actually, it's normal that you don't know much about Rhea, but in Italian football, he is quite well-known. He has a very rich coaching experience. He is at the same age as me, about the same age. He has been wandering in Serie A and Serie B. , took over Vicenza in Serie A in 1999, but failed to prevent the team from being relegated."

"After Vicenza was relegated, he continued to lead the team in Serie B and successfully returned to Serie A, but he was soon dismissed due to poor performance, and then coached Genoa and Catania for a short period of time until zero. In three years, he took over Cagliari halfway and led the team to Serie A, but something interesting happened."

Before Rea took over Cagliari, the head coach of this team was the famous Italian coach Ventura.

Gao Shen remembers this name because Lippi said, "The best head coach in Italy is in Turin, and his name is Ventura."

It was also the old coach who later became the head coach of the Italian national team.

Ventura led Cagliari for two consecutive seasons and failed to upgrade, so in the second season, he was fired midway and Rhea replaced him. That was in November 2003.

What's interesting is that after half a year of unemployment, as a famous coach, Ventura didn't know what was going on, but was fooled by De Laurentiis who had just reorganized Naples to go to Naples to coach a third-tier league team.

This was also very surprising to Italian football at the time, not necessarily.

What's more terrible is that Ventura failed to coach Naples, and was fired after only 19 games.

On the other side, after Rea took over Cagliari, he washed away the depression of the Ventura period and rushed directly to Serie A.

A weird thing happened. After De Laurentiis fired Ventura, he turned around and invited Rhea to Naples to take over Ventura's coaching position until now.

This operation is absolutely amazing!

Sacchi jokingly said that in Italian football, many people say that De Laurentiis's mouth can make magic.

Gao Shen was also surprised, but after careful consideration, it seemed to be true.

Mazzarri, Benitez, Ancelotti, Sarri...

Fuck!

I don't know if I don't say it, but I was really shocked when I said it.

De Laurentiis is really a handsome harvester!

If you really want to say that the Neapolitan boss is a tyrant, what is so special about him?

At least Abramovich can spend money hard, fire you and continue to pay you a high annual salary, what does De Laurentiis have?

Naples' investment is also very cost-effective, and it doesn't look like a local tyrant.

Why are these famous marshals flocking to it?

Will you fool me?

After thinking about it carefully, Gao Shen didn't seem to feel that way when he met De Laurentiis and Marino just now.

Sacchi was also not familiar with De Laurentiis, nor did he know.

"Anyway, be careful, don't be fooled."

Gao Shen hastily agreed.

Next, Saki asked about advanced matters with concern.

After meeting De Laurentiis, Gao Shen will return to Madrid to deal with some matters, and at the same time meet with Blanco of Juventus to see how Juventus is doing.

Real Madrid's presidential election is about to come to an end, and Gao Shen is also very curious, can Calderon win again?

From coaching Real Madrid
