This time, when Capello took over as head coach of Real Madrid, he brought his own coag team, but he didn't bring a goalkeeper coach.

  The main reason was that, at this stage, Casils' status was unassaible.

  Everyone knows that Raul has been criticized i years, mainly due to his underwhelming performances. But Casils, oher hand, is in his prime; he's the darling of Real Madrid fans, the ma, and the media. He's seen as the natural successor after Raul. Who would dare to provoke him?

  In fact, sometimes, Gao Shen finds this situation quite amusing.

  Back then, the media and fans would scold Sanchis and support Hierro. Later, when Hierro got old, they began to criticize Hierro and support Raul.

  Now, they are critig Raul and supp Casils. In a few years, they'll start critig Casils and supp Ramos. And a few years after that, they'll start critig Ramos. And then... it seems like there will be no o…

  But no matter what happens iure, Casils' position is unshakable at this point.

  Pedro Haro has worked well with Casils, and Capello doesn't dare to make any ges.

  Therefore, it's naturally impossible for Pedro Haro to leave his position as Real Madrid's goalkeeper coach to follow Gao Shen and coach a newly promoted Serie B team.

  Thinking about it this edro Haro is really not suitable.

  "What do you think of Luis Llopis from the U17 youth team?" Gao Shen asked.

  Carlo and Lucas's eyes lit up. This guy is indeed a talent.

  Antonio Adan, Felipe Ramos, Tomas Mejias, and Kiko Casil all excellent goalkeepers were developed under his guidance, and he's genuinely adept at grooming goalkeepers.

  The key point is, Luis Llopis is now forty-three years old, about the same age as Pedro Haro, but he's still stuck coag Real Madrid's youth team and has never gotten the opportunity to move up.

  If Gao Shen remembers correctly, Llopis ter went to several different teams. But when Zidaook over as Real Madrid's head coach, he invited Llopis back. Llopis pyed a major role in Real Madrid's three secutive Champions League titles. When Zidauro the club for a sed spell, he even forcibly brought him back from Real Sociedad.

  In the process, he trained Kepa at Athletic Bilbao.

  As the world's top football powerhouse, Real Madrid's Valdebebas training plex is filled with talent.

  When Gao Shen was in charge of the first team, his time there was very brief and intense, so he didn't have the opportunity to i with these talented people, but he khem well.

  "If you put it that way, I think Luis Llopis is more suitable than Pedro Haro," Carlo nodded.

  Gao Shen listened and made a mental note of Luis Llopis.

  Pedro Haro is also talented, but at this stage, Gao Shen isn't in a position to recruit him. Fortunately, Luis Llopis seems to have greater potential for development iure.

  …

  With the goalkeeper coach positioled, Gao Shen outlined his requirements for the teical coach.

  Modern football cepts are still somewhat influenced by Bara's possession-based tactics, which is quite normal.

  By 2021, which team in the world doesn't take possession of the ball seriously?

  For the teical coach, Gao Shen already had a didate in mind. This was angestion from Football Mahe data genius, Rodolfo Borrell.

  In Football Manager, Rodolfo Borrell is highly skilled at training pyers' teique, ball trol, and attag abilities, particurly with young pyers. He is alsood at assessing pyers' abilities and potential.

  Every time Gao Shen pyed Football Manager in his previous life, he would try his best to recruit this data genius. Naturally, he became very familiar with Rodolfo Borrell's background. At the moment, he is still coag in the Bara youth team. Although he has trained pyers like Messi, Cesc Fabregas, and Piqué, he hasn't truly made a name for himself yet.

  What's even more iing is that the 35-year-old Rodolfo Borrell has been w in Bara's youth training system for ten years. He is well-versed in Bara's passing and trainihods, but he is actually a native of Madrid.

  As soon as Gao Sheioned his name, ediately knew who he was.

  The professional coag world be both big and small. Coaches like Rodolfo Borrell, who have worked with youth teams at top clubs for many years, are naturally not unknown figures. On the trary, they are all waiting for an opportunity.

  The difference is that Rodolfo Borrell's opportunity came in 2007 wheez, who also has a Real Madrid background, brought him to Liverpool for youth training. Now, Gao Shen pns to recruit him as an assistant coach.

  This man ter became Guardio's chief assistant coach when he managed Maer City. His abilities are undoubtedly exceptional.

  The question is whether he is willing to give up his job as head coach of Bara's youth team to join Gao Shen's coag team.

  Gao Shen isirely sure because reality is different from games.

  In a game, if you offer a high enough sary, people will always be tempted to move. But iy, that's obviously not always the case.

  A wealthy team like Bara offers more than just an annual sary to its coaches. On the trary, the annual sary for youth coaches at top clubs is often not high, but the resources, ptform, and prestige they offer are something other clubs ot provide.

  If Gao Shen were coag a team in one of the four major leagues now, it would probably be easy to vince Rodolfo Borrell. Even if he were coag Juventus, it likely wouldn't be a problem. But for Napoli, it might not be so easy.

  To put it bluntly, the risk is too high.

  So this will have to rely on Gao Shen to persuade him.

  …

  After identifying the didates, Gao Shen began to take a.

  That night, Carlo got a hold of Rodolfo Borrell's phone hrough his es, and Gao Shen made a direct call.

  It's currently the offseason, but Rodolfo Borrell doesn't live in Madrid; he resides in Bara.

  Gao Shen's reputation is quite well-known at this point, but it's obviously unrealistic to vince a Bara youth coach over a phone call. So, Gao Shen didn't reveal his iiht away. Instead, he made an effort to build rapport, saying he'd like to meet up, and they arranged a time to meet.

  The day, Gao She straight to Luis Llopis' home.

  His tact with Luis Llopis was mostly from his time interning with the sed team, and they didn't have a deep retionship. But after Gao Shen coached Real Madrid's first team, many of his deeds spread throughout Valdebebas, leaving many with plex impressions of him, with both praise and criticism.

  tally, Luis Llopis had a very good impression of Gao Shen.

  After they sat down, Gao Shen expined how he was f a coag team.

  Although Gao Shen hadn't decided where he would go yet, Luis Llopis was already very ied.

  Because at forty-three years old, he didn't want to remain as the goalkeeper coach of Real Madrid's U17 team forever. He also wao push his career forward, so he had been waiting for an opportunity.

  And joining Gao Shen's team was also a good opportunity.

  From his time coag at Real Madrid, it's not hard to see that he's someone who genuinely wants to achieve something and is capable of doing so.

  Luis Llopis was ied, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

  Regarding his tract with Real Madrid, Gao Shen said there's no rush for now. Once he firms his final destination, he'll step in to iate with Butragueno. He believes it won't be a big issue, and the "Vulture" will give him this favor.

  Not to mention Butragueno, even Calderon and Mijatovic would have to show him some respect right now.

  After all, Gao Shen did lead Real Madrid to a double after a 50-year drought.

  …

  After finalizing things with Luis Llopis, Lorenzo Bueura also arrived in Madrid from Seville.

  Gao Shen didn't hide anything from his former assistant, and he expined his current situation clearly.

  On the phone previously, Gao Shen had hihat Juventus was a more likely destination, but he didly told Bueura that he would most likely not choose the Bianeri. Instead, he was more ined to go to Napoli to build a team that could challehe top three Northern giants and push into the Champions League.

  And all of this would essentially start from scratch.

  This is a very challenging endeavor extremely difficult but also very rewarding.

  The more achievements one earns in Napoli, the higher and more secure their position will be.

  Iure, no one would be able to question Gao Shen's coag level or credentials.

  Bueura uood this, so he didn't hesitate and directly stated his willio follow Gao Shen.

  "It doesn't matter whether it's a newly promoted Serie B team, Juventus, or aeam iop five leagues. Either way, I'm stig with you!"

  For a middle-aged man in his forties, saying such words to a young man in his twenties might seem embarrassing.

  But surprisingly, Bueura said it very naturally it seemed like a given.

  Behind this was his experience w with Gao Shen at Real Madrid.

  In those short three months, he had been pletely won over by Gao Shen.

  More importantly, Gao Shen also trusted him.

  After iating with Luis Lopis and Lorenzo Bueura, Carlo was essentially a done deal, leaving only Rudolph Borrell remaining. Just as Gao Shen was about to leave for Bara to meet with Borrell, he received a call from Marino inviting him to the hotel where they were staying.

  After two days of deliberation, De Laurentiis and Marino agreed with Gao Shen's terms and decided to accept his request. Gao Shen, still wary of De Laurentiis, proposed a restri cuse in the tract: iure, all locker room matters would be under his trol, and De Laurentiis would not intervene.

  "Of course, I uand your personality. If you think I'm not doing well or something isn't up to your standards, you tell me face-to-face or criticize me in the media - that's fine. If it makes sense, I'll happily accept it, but not in the dressing room.

  " This was Gao Shen's bottom line. For De Laurentiis, this was a difficult cession, but the Napoli boss clearly prioritized making Napoli a strong team as soon as possible. However, in a surprising move, De Laurentiis proposed a novel but unusual treatment cuse to Gao Shen, leaving him stuhis was the first time Gao Shen had seen such a tract cuse.
