"How about it?"
Far away in the president's office at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.
As soon as Florentino hung up the phone, Zidane, Butragueno, Valdano and Manuel Redondo gathered around and looked at the Real Madrid president with concern. .
Recently, Florentino has obviously aged a lot, and the pressure has also increased.
At this moment, the chairman of Real Madrid let out a long and mixed sigh with a very helpless expression, then shook his head, "He rejected me!"
The four people on the opposite side were all stunned!
Who is Florentino?
The entire European football world knows his skill and courage, and everyone knows that he doesn't make shots easily, but as long as he makes a shot, he can handle even the big-name superstars.
But now, Gao Shen rejected him!
...
When Florentino explained the content of the phone call between himself and Gao Shen in a concise manner, Zidane and the others immediately understood that they had vaguely guessed before that it was likely to be such a result.
Gao Shen has always been like this, emphasizing feelings and loyalty, Zidane and others who are familiar with and understand him know that with the attitude of Manchester City towards him, Gao Shen will not leave easily.
Therefore, it would not be surprising to reject Florentino now.
But even though I have been mentally prepared, when things come, I still feel somewhat lost.
"What now?" Valdano looked at Florentino.
The chairman of Real Madrid sat on the chair in front of the desk, took off his glasses, put them in front of the desk, and rubbed his eyes tiredly. Obviously, he was physically and mentally exhausted and under heavy pressure.
This made Valdano and others look at each other, unable to urge a word.
"I regret it." Florentino said suddenly.
Valdano, Zidane and others looked at each other in surprise.
"Back then, if I had given enough respect, Gao Shen would not have chosen Manchester City. Then everything we have encountered now may no longer exist, and we may even suppress Barcelona."
Florentino's voice was old and full of regret.
No one would deny this possibility, and it is a great possibility.
Not to mention anything else, just look at the team Gao Shen built for Manchester City.
A lot of money was spent, but this team is now the most expensive team in the world. Suarez only spent 15 million euros, but now it is the second place in the European Player of the Year selection, even Overwhelmed Ronaldo.
Some media have long made a special evaluation of Manchester City's signings in the transfer market. They think that Gao Shen was ridiculed as 400 million reckless, but in fact, if the value of Manchester City's current players exceeds 800 million euros, it ranks first in the world. First.
In other words, in the past two years or so, the value of Manchester City players has tripled.
Because Gao Shen didn’t actually spend 400 million yuan, the money invested by Mark Hughes before can’t be counted on Gao Shen’s head, can it?
More importantly, this is only temporary. Considering the age of Manchester City players, their strength and potential, the real value of Manchester City will exceed one billion euros.
For example, Gareth Bale is now worth at least 70 million euros.
The value of the player alone is worth a fortune, not to mention how many championships has Gao Shen won for Manchester City in the past two seasons?
Is this by accident?
no!
As early as in Naples, Gao Shen was already doing this.
It has been more than two years since he left Naples, but this Serie A team can still sell more than 200 million euros this summer. Isn't it because of the team that Gao Shen left behind?
After selling so many people, the current core players, such as Hamsik, Nainggolan, Verratti, Callejon, Mertens and other players, are still the same group of players as Gao Shen.
The media and fans have long forgotten what Gao Shen has done for Naples, but in the European football circle, as time goes by, everyone feels Gao Shen's incredible.
Especially after this summer, Naples sold a huge amount of money again. As a result, the overall strength did not have much impact, and they still remained at the forefront of Serie A. All of this was dependent on Gao Shen's operation back then.
Does Florentino regret it?
I regret so much that my intestines are green.
Let alone him, Bayern Munich's Big Three have been saying all day long that they regret not signing Gao Shen.
It is said that the reason why Chelsea's owner Abramovich was harsh on Ancelotti was because he regretted that he chose Ancelotti and failed to hire Gao Shen, so he turned his evil fire on Ancelotti Dee's body.
Now, it's time to make a choice again.
...
"Jorge, if Mourinho stays in office, what do you think is the possibility of our team qualifying?"
Florentino asked suddenly.
Valdano thought hard for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, people in the locker room are now scattered and full of conflicts. Many problems and conflicts that were covered up before have now been exposed, which is very troublesome."
Some things are not on the scale and have no weight, but once they are on the scale, it is not surprising that they crush people to death.
That's the problem with Real Madrid right now.
Mourinho's approach has caused many problems that should have been covered up, but now they are all exposed. What's more frightening is that the media and fans are now following up, and they are all staring at the locker room with scrutiny. looking at the player.
This puts everyone in the locker room in danger, everyone is afraid.
Casillas is in trouble now.
Even if he reconciles with Mourinho, he is a traitor in the minds of many Real Madrid fans!
This label cannot be torn off in a short time, and can only be smoothed out slowly with time.
Casillas himself is very aware of this, so his attitude is also extremely tough.
He has played for a team of Real Madrid all his life. He could have played for one team until he retired, and even retired as the double captain of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team. People are greater.
Because, no matter in the club or in the national team, his honors are more and more important.
Therefore, he, the captain, is aiming for a legend, even the first person in Spanish history.
But now, no more!
Who else can bear such a thing?
The Iker Casillas incident is destined to become a turning point for Real Madrid and even Spanish football.
In the Real Madrid dressing room, there will be many players who are staying away from Mourinho, but they are not saying a word now.
Either dare not, or don't want to, or can't.
It is undeniable that changing coaches is the best way to solve the current predicament, but the risk is also great.
Keeping Mourinho is just as risky.
The current Real Madrid is like a broken ship floating in the Atlantic Ocean, bumping in the huge waves. God knows when what will happen?
"Florentino, I have to remind you that the risk of doing this is very high." Valdano reminded.
He is a good friend of Gao Shen, but it has to be said that if Florentino chooses to wait without Gao Shen's strong commitment, he may pay a painful price for it.
It might even be his chairmanship!
If he stepped down for the second time, then Florentino would not even think about coming back.
"Yes, Florentino." Zidane also persuaded, "I heard that Manchester City's Mubarak and Gary Cook are negotiating and mediating with the Premier League team. Be open."
"If we keep Mourinho now, but next summer, Gao Shen chooses to stay at Manchester City, and our team's performance is in a mess, the consequences will be disastrous."
Florentino looked at the two right-hand men in front of him in surprise, and suddenly laughed, "You are all close friends, and you have always supported him to coach Real Madrid, why are you now persuading me?"
Valdano and Zidane looked at each other and smiled wryly at the same time.
They are deep friends, but they are also the top management of Real Madrid.
At this time, giving their professional opinions is the professionalism they should have.
But on retaining Mourinho, Zidane and Valdano have opposite opinions.
Zidane insisted that he should be fired and broke the boat; Valdano was relatively cautious, worried that he would stimulate the Portuguese gang and the players in the locker room who supported Mourinho.
They each have their own principles and their own difficulties.
It can only be said that Real Madrid has no perfect solution in the current situation.
Florentino slowly stretched out his hand and picked up the glasses on the table.
Manuel Redondo immediately stepped forward and brought him a spectacle cloth.
He wiped it gently like this, and wiped every inch of the glasses from the lens to the temples.
Then, put it back on.
"In 2009, you persuaded me, but I didn't listen at the time and made a big mistake. Thinking about it now, it should be the most painful mistake I have made in the years I have been the chairman of Real Madrid. We missed one Great opportunity to revive Real Madrid."
"Thinking about it now, I still regret it."
When Florentino said this, he had already stood up from his chair.
"Now, the situation has come to the time when we have to make a choice. This time, I still have to choose by myself. I'm still not going to listen to you."
"You all know that I have never been willing to rely too much on a certain person or a certain position when I manage a company, because it is unreasonable, but now, I want to give it a try!"
"Gao Shen was the first person who made me feel that he should be born to coach Real Madrid. Since 2006, I have felt so. Now, five or six years have passed, and I go around. I think maybe I will leave. I went the wrong way, or I thought about it myself, so I want to go back to 2006."
"Give Gao Shen a chance! Give Real Madrid a chance! Give myself a chance!"
When he said this, Florentino narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp gaze swept over the four people present.
"From this moment on, only the five of us know everything that happened here just now, every word spoken, understand?"
Zidane, Valdano and others understood what it meant, and immediately nodded.
"Tomorrow, I will invite both Mourinho and Casillas to have a talk, and I hope they can both focus on the overall situation!"
After finishing speaking, Florentino waved his hand to signal the end of the meeting.
"So be it."
