Chapter 6, A Great Surprise
Guti also nodded with a smile, "I am starting to like him a bit too."
Botugal nodded, "Yes, he is the Brazilian young player who was initially loaned from Lendistas to the team. Carlo retained him, and this season he has also been the team's main left-back, performing well.
Bottgar's eyes flashed with surprise, unable to believe as he looked towards Gao Shen, who nodded with an expression of innocence and helplessness.
Certainly, from a systemic perspective, unconditionally supplying talent to the first team is the primary duty of the second team
After Felipe Luis joined Real Madrid, he never made an appearance for the first team and played directly for the reserve team. As a result, many fans, including those who are well-versed in the sport, are even unaware that he once played for Real Madrid
But once they dominate the changing room, can this cooperation continue
This is undoubtedly a tremendous surprise
How formidable is Felipe Luis
"What did he say? He said a lot." Portugal furrowed his brow in thought
The second team actually has two players named Callejón
When he saw the arrival of the profound, he felt quite surprised
Subsequently, Gao Shen also selected Granero, Parejo, and Juan Mata, originally intending to include young players like Bueno as well, since he was not afraid of the crowd. However, upon seeing the resentful gaze of Portugal, he suppressed this impulse
Not only did he have about ten junior team members following him, but also Gao Shen simply poached the intern Fernando Lucas.
In this case, isn't profundity just the knife in the hands of the new chairman
After taking down Carlos, whether it is reusing Raul Bravo or allowing Ramos and Arbeloa to make cameo appearances, this is suppressing the Brazilian contingent. The morale of the local players will undoubtedly rise as a result. Is this a good thing
If it can be said that players such as Aveiroa, Negredo, and Delarede were anticipated in a profound manner, then Felipe Luis is a profound surprise.
At first, Portugal had little to show, but as he observed the profound strokes of the pen, one key player after another departed from under his command, causing him great pain in his heart
Who can guarantee that they will not become the second Brazilian gang
... ...
... ...
Arriving alone, leaving with a group
... ...
Before delving deeper, I was unaware that so many events had transpired at Real Madrid over the past year
More importantly, if I remember correctly, after joining Deportivo La Coruña, he quickly became a key player. Although he suffered a broken leg at one point, even so, he still attracted the attention of prestigious clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, and later became one of the top three elite left-backs in the world
Castilla is competing in the Segunda División this season, but their performance has been mediocre, currently sitting in eighth place. There is an insurmountable ceiling ahead, making promotion impossible, while relegation is not a concern. However, Portugal has the confidence to be generous.
First, take the person down, and then slowly discern.
During his peak, he was one of the top three left-backs in the world, excelling in both offense and defense, with consistently outstanding performance from Deportivo La Coruña to Atlético Madrid
One can imagine what it means for a person who has suffered a broken leg to still become a world-class player
What surprised him even more was that Gao Shen was quite talkative. As soon as they met, he began to express his grievances, saying how isolated and unsupported he felt in the first team, how the higher-ups demanded this and that from him, but now he had no one to rely on, so what could he do
Gao Shen also gave him enough face, promising to communicate in advance about the players who would take the field. All players not included in the first team roster can return to the second team to compete, ensuring the performance of the second team's matches
Captain Alvaro, main center forward Negredo, midfielder Delarede, defensive midfielder Javi Garcia
Can things really go so smoothly
A person without long-term concerns will inevitably face immediate worries
It is important to note that during Carlo's tenure as head coach of the first team, several young players were promoted from the second team, resulting in a total of thirty-two players training with the first team, including four goalkeepers
Real Madrid's youth team is indeed filled with talent, but unfortunately, there is no reasonable pathway for promotion to the first team. Coupled with the fierce competition within the first team, it has become quite difficult for homegrown talents to establish themselves.
The thrilling nature of this situation surpasses, if not equals, the intricate power struggles experienced within the depths of sophisticated enterprises
In recent years, the local gang has been suppressed by the Brazilian gang and the superstars, finding themselves in a very difficult situation. Even their leader, Raul, has been unable to play in his preferred position as a forward and has been forced to play as a defensive midfielder, which is why they are willing to collaborate with Gao Shen.
The two had dealings in the past, but at that time, Gao Shen was merely an intern; now, however, Gao Shen is the head coach of Real Madrid
But how could he be at Real Madrid
Thus, from the change of leadership to the dismissal of technical director Saki, accountability has gradually risen, culminating in Florentino's resignation
This young man from China is truly ruthless
Gao Shen specifically reviewed the resume of Felipe Luis and discovered that this young Brazilian player initially played for Figueirense in Brazil. He was loaned to Ajax but was unable to stay, so Figueirense sold him to the Uruguayan team Rentistas, which then loaned him to Real Madrid
It is precisely that statement, he advocates for an assessment of the stars of Real Madrid, eliminating half of the incompetent players, and reorganizing the locker room
From the perspective of the head coach, balance is the best situation for the locker room
The Brazilian player, born on August 9, 1985, is a left-back. This is the same person as Felipe Luis, who later played at a world-class left-back level for Atlético Madrid.
As the situation escalated significantly, the first team quickly received the news.
Felipe Luis pointed at this player and looked towards Portugal
The management is about to take serious action
They have crossed this barbed wire, who would be willing to go back again
After chatting for more than half an hour, Portugal gave the green light to the high-ranking officials.
The agent? The agent is also the head coach
The hairline of Portugal is quite high, giving a sense of great wisdom
It is true that Gao Shen was a football fan in his past life, but he really did not pay attention to this detail.
However, there is another perspective that Florentino could have chosen not to resign; it was simply that he could not bring himself to take decisive action against the superstars. Therefore, he arranged for Vice President Martin to take office, specifically to eliminate those superstars
More importantly, this can be a signal
Every time Gao Shen makes a mark, Portugal's heart skips a beat. He can only hope that Gao Shen will fulfill his promise, allowing this group of players to return to the second team for matches. Otherwise, how can he compete in the Segunda División with a depleted squad?
Currently, the coaching staff of the first team consists entirely of Carlo's personnel, with Maqueda serving as the assistant coach. Maqueda has more experience and seniority than Gao Shen, who also needs to be kept in check. It is still preferable to have a trusted individual by one's side to facilitate work.
The coaching staff had not received any prior notification, and now Gao Shen has directly brought the individuals over, leaving them somewhat unprepared
A group of people marched through the barbed wire and entered the training area of the first team
Raúl Bravo? Or should we let Ramos make a guest appearance?
This may seem somewhat distant, yet profound matters must not be taken lightly
Which young person does not yearn for a bright future
Felipe Luis is indeed a very suitable entry point to inform everyone that depth does not concern local affiliations, nor does it matter about superstars or the Brazilian contingent; as long as one is willing to play for Real Madrid and can collaborate with him, he welcomes them all
However, Gao Shen also noticed another player on the list
In the end, there was simply no other way; with a grand gesture, the high-ranking official brought both into the first team
I originally thought that I was bold enough, but I didn't expect him to be even more outrageous than me, Ramos laughed heartily
Yet deep within Gao Shen, there was a faint sense of excitement, as he keenly sensed an opportunity
Gao Shen noticed the expression on Botugal's face and secretly found it amusing, yet he truly had no way to address the situation
This made Portugal's lips twitch, almost bringing him to tears
Does he not understand the principle that quality is more valuable than quantity in warfare
This immediately reminded Portugal of the long-rumored news
Portugal believed that everyone was aware of the profound matters, and since these were not secrets internally, everything was disclosed in one go
The players were even more shocked
Which one is the Callejón that exists in his memory
He even directly took out the player roster of Team 2, allowing Gao Shen to select players from it.
Now it is settled, a Felipe Luis has arrived. Although he is Brazilian, he can precisely alleviate the profound concerns.
At that time, he also saw some news reports in the country, but there were not so many details; it was just a very broad and vague report, such as Florentino's resignation, or Luxemburgo being dismissed.
What does he really want to do
In January 2005, Luxemburgo replaced Ramón as the head coach of Real Madrid, with the aim of reorganizing the locker room; before Luxemburgo was dismissed, a mutiny occurred in the Real Madrid locker room, as the stars were extremely dissatisfied with his authoritarian style. At that time, the president, Florentino, appointed Carlo, with reports suggesting that the intention was to suppress the stars, but unexpectedly, Carlo was too kind, proving to be another conciliatory figure
However, Gao Shen soon encountered a problem
It is important to note that Raúl, Guti, and others have a better relationship with Bosque and Hierro than anyone else
Upon reaching this point, Gao Shen decisively marked a tick next to the name of Felipe Luis
Even so, he directly took away half of the main players and some important substitutes from Portugal, leaving the coach of Castilla feeling as if he had been cut open.
It is also for this reason that Martin, upon taking office, declared his intention to cut half of the underperforming players.
Oh my, this is undoubtedly the largest and most unwieldy first-team squad in the history of Real Madrid
Currently, Gaosheng has brought in more than a dozen players in one go, causing the total number of first-team players to immediately soar to over forty.
The young players were quite surprised upon receiving the notification. Some of them were nearly the same age as Gao Shen, with whom they had interacted in the past. However, they never expected that Gao Shen would transform into the head coach of the first team and select them for the first team, fulfilling their long-held dreams. How could the young players not be excited?
Juanmi Callejón and José Callejón, both nineteen years old, were born on February 11, 1987. They are both right-footed wingers, with one playing on the left flank and the other on the right flank. Currently, they are both key players for the reserve team
Raúl and Casillas both possess relatively cautious personalities, and at this moment, they cannot hide their surprise and joy, but at the same time, they also feel a bit more concern
"Michelle, you must be aware of what the new chairman has said, right?" Gao Shen felt that the time was ripe and immediately revealed his true intentions.
In the first team, Carlos has the strongest opposition to Gao Shen, and Gao Shen has always wanted to use Carlos as an example to make a point. However, Carlos is too important to Real Madrid. Not to mention anything else, who else can play on the left flank besides Carlos
Raúl, Guti, Casillas, and Ramos stood to the side, silently watching everything that was happening outside the window
Does the board of directors really allow him to act with such impunity
Real Madrid has previously successively signed two Uruguayan players, Pablo García and Diogo, who are actually represented by the same agent
However, at present, Gao Shen is truly in need of manpower
