There's an unwritten tradition in the Europa League: treat your opponent to a drink after a 90-minute game.
Of course, the premise is that this opponent can get your approval and respect.
Gao Shen heard from Ancelotti.
After learning that Gao Shen did not drink, Ancelotti regretted the good wine he had specially prepared, but he still had a toast with Gao Shen's own thermos. After drinking it all, he said something that surprised Gao Shen. Reasonable words.
"I should thank you for helping us make a difficult decision."
Gao Shen was quite surprised. He thought that Ancelotti didn't know these things, but now it seems that he is still a little more tender.
As the team's head coach, coaching AC Milan for so many years, how could Ancelotti not know?
"Have you decided to sell Shevchenko?" Gao Shen took over and asked.
Ancelotti was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Seriously, Gao, you surprised me. It was like this on the court, and it is still the same now."
"It's not hard to guess." Gao Shen raised his eyebrows.
In his memory, Shevchenko moved to Chelsea this summer.
Don't look at just two conversations, but both Gao Shen and Ancelotti know how many secrets are hidden behind each other's words.
This is also the reason for Ancelotti's surprise.
If the world famous coach could see this and guess Shevchenko, Ancelotti would not be surprised, but if Gao Shen could guess it, he was really surprised.
Even, Ancelotti is a little unsure, is he really a genius?
This question involves AC Milan's transfer this summer. He didn't want to talk about it, but turned to another topic.
"I think you should leave Real Madrid, whether you win the title or not."
After he finished speaking, Ancelotti seemed to feel that his words were a bit presumptuous, and he had a deep conversation.
"Of course, that's my personal advice."
Gao Shen smiled and asked noncommittally, "Why?"
"Because you don't have the full support of the management, which is a big no-no in any team."
Ancelotti's words were very heavy, and he listened deeply and thought about it.
"As a manager, if you can't get the support of the management, the players in the locker room will know that even if they will support you for some reason in a short period of time, they will leave you sooner or later in the long run, which is inevitable. "
This is also the first principle of Ancelotti's coaching.
Ancelotti believes that if you want to manage a team well, you must be the boss.
This boss does not mean that he is the kind of very authoritative, Ferguson-style godfather, or a madman like Mourinho, or it can be the type of Bosque and Ancelotti, who tightens the entire dressing room. Unite tightly around yourself.
He cites one example, when he coached Juventus.
"To be honest, I don't like this team, I don't like the city, the football culture there makes me uncomfortable, and while I don't deny his greatness, coaching there, I feel like I always wear in heavy shackles."
"But even so, the day before I decided to leave Juventus, I still received unconditional support from the management, even if they thought I was not competent enough and decided to fire me, but before I left, the team There were no internal issues."
Having said that, Ancelotti looked at Gao Shen deeply and smiled slightly: "Actually, you understand. From your coaching Real Madrid to now, I can see that you understand this truth just like me."
"Managing interpersonal relationships is the biggest challenge of a head coach!" Gao Shen smiled.
"That's right." Ancelotti praised.
In business, politics, football, as a leader, the most important thing is to deal with interpersonal relationships.
Simply put, it is the art of manipulating people.
Why are the coaches who have transformed players more likable than the coaches who came from academy?
Because they know the players better and know how to deal with them.
Players are also human beings, and they have feelings, beliefs, judgments, fears and needs, and they are doing all kinds of trade-offs all the time, and the most important job of a coach is to understand them and deal with them well. they.
The bigger the giant, the more complicated it is, but the middle and lower teams are also not easy, the same is true.
Gao Shen had seen Ancelotti's book in the tactical library, so he knew what Ancelotti was thinking.
And Ancelotti drank some wine, and chatted with Gao Shen more and more vigorously, a little feeling that he met his confidant with a thousand cups.
"You know, I've met a player, but I'm sorry I can't tell you his name, he's been doing really well before, but then one day, the performance just plummeted and I wondered to myself, shouldn't what."
"But you know, I can't go to him right away, it will make him feel that I don't trust him, so I wait and wait and wait, and finally, one day, he took the initiative to talk to me, he and I Said he had to get married."
"Yes, you heard right, he didn't want to get married, but he had to."
"Did something happen?" Gao Shen still couldn't hold back his curiosity.
Ancelotti deliberately sold out, and he couldn't help laughing, "So, I helped him make suggestions and thought of a lot of ways. He finally didn't get married, and his performance came up quickly."
Gao Shen was also amused by Ancelotti's example.
This guy's mouth is still quite strict, and the person is also very yin.
But... hehe... Gao Shen still has a way to know.
The main reason why Ancelotti told Gao Shen so much was because he felt that Gao Shen was very similar to him, especially the various things that Gao Shen did after coaching Real Madrid, which made Ancelotti feel that if he came to coach, he would Will do the same, and then give birth to a sense of intimacy.
Many people's opinions of Ancelotti are tailor-made, or they think he is a "puff bag" bullied by the management, but Gao Shen has read Ancelotti's book in the tactical library, and combined with his own memory, he I think Ancelotti's greatest ability is manipulative.
The head coach is the head coach in the end. He needs to use the players to play on the court. How to control the players and manage the locker room is undoubtedly the top priority.
Ancelotti is right, Gao Shen has no management support at Real Madrid.
Martin is in private contact with some famous coaches, such as Eriksen.
Don't look at him being submissive to Gao Shen now, but once he takes power, it is estimated that the first person to be fired is Gao Shen.
Even if you win the championship and stay in office, will Gao Shen be happy?
Do not make jokes.
As for Calderon and other opponents, if they come to power, I am afraid that they will not be able to be more sophisticated.
There are rumors that Florentino admires Gao Shen, and has always wanted to invite Gao Shen to have a meal through Butragueno, but Gao Shen has not spared time, and Florentino has not announced it so far. To run for election.
Step down in February and run for election in June, which is not very appropriate, right?
Leaving the San Siro stadium, Real Madrid left for Madrid.
Along the way, Gao Shen was thinking about his conversation with Ancelotti just now.
It was the first time the two met alone, and they talked a lot, but it was surprising that the more they talked, the more in-depth they were, and they felt like they were confidants.
And Gao Shen is wondering, is this because he has read Ancelotti's book in the tactical library, so he knows him so well?
What about other celebrities?
Is there a chance to collect the goodwill of a wave of world famous coaches and complete the achievement of "the most popular head coach in history"?
Unlike Gao Shen, Real Madrid's players began to study the Champions League final along the way.
There are still more than 20 days, but they can't wait to study the number of tickets and invited friends and relatives.
This is also the practice of the Champions League final.
According to the capacity of the venue for the final, UEFA will divide the tickets for the final into three, two for each participating team, and one for gift and sale by UEFA.
After the participating teams get their own tickets, they will first take out some of them as free tickets and distribute them to players, sponsors, partners, etc.
Generally speaking, there will not be many tickets for each person, and if you can get five tickets, you will be in the sky.
But what is enough for the players?
Therefore, they have to study and study, how to get more tickets, and invite those relatives and friends to watch the game.
"Gao, will you invite your parents, relatives and friends to watch the game in Paris?" Lucas, who was sitting beside him, asked with concern.
Oftentimes, clubs will even provide room and board for relatives and friends of players and employees.
"What about you?" Gao Shen asked back.
"Yes, our whole family are Real Madrid fans. If I don't give them tickets, I guess I won't go home."
It was only then that Gao Shen remembered that the reason why Lucas, an economics graduate, came to work at Real Madrid is because their whole family are fans of Real Madrid, including many of his relatives and friends.
Come to think of it, he should also be having a headache for the ticket.
"It's okay, you can do the math. If it's almost the same, I'll help you find a way." Gao Shen said.
Lucas hurriedly agreed.
For Gao Shen, it is not difficult to get a few final tickets.
As for Gao Shen inviting those relatives and friends, he really didn't think about it.
His parents live in third-tier cities in China, let alone going abroad in this life~www.mtlnovel.com~ Even if they have never been to a big city like the capital Shanghai, it is really embarrassing for them to go abroad to watch the game in Paris.
Other relatives and friends are probably the same.
Of course, Gao Shen would still want to make a phone call and ask. If they were to come, he would definitely find a way.
As for friends, the first thing Gao Shen thought of was the Carlos.
Both of them are die-hard Real Madrid fans. With Carlo's contacts in Real Madrid, it is not difficult to get tickets, but Gao Shen still feels that he must send it in person to show his sincerity.
From Real Madrid's dismissal to the present, Carlo has been idle at home. Fortunately, Real Madrid is still paying his salary according to the contract. He has no idea of going out for the time being. The few teams he contacted are not very good places. It should also be in the wait-and-see stage.
Gao Shen had thought about asking Carlo to come to Real Madrid to help, but after things went smoothly, it seemed that it was no longer necessary.
In any case, Carlo's ticket is still to be sent.
As for the parents in China, Gao Shen also wanted to make a phone call and ask.
