Before leaving for Naples, Gao Shen received a call from Su Qing, who was in a.

  A few days ago, after Gao Shen received the finalized traegotiated by the wyers from both sides, he still felt uneasy. When Su Qing heard about it, she asked Gao Shen to fax it to her. She the back to the capital city and sulted an old professor from the w school at her uy.

  Currently, football tracts in a are still quite chaoti trast, Europe is retively strict. This old expert was very ied and took the time to help Gao Shen review the tract. He felt there were basically no issues, and the terms were quite stri.

  "There is one part he doesn't quite uand," Su Qing said over the phone.

  "Which part?"

  "Turn to page 16 and look down to Article 4. There doesn't seem to be a specific time limit here. Does that mean it takes effect permaly?"

  Gao Shen took a look. This cuse was about the agreemeween him and Naparding the sharing of the differen pyer transfer fees.

  But perhaps because it was the first time both parties entered su unusual cuse especially si ecifically added by De Laurentiis some of the tent wasn't particurly precise, likely due to a ck of pret.

  Normally, the terms should take effect while Gao Shen is coag Napoli. But acc to the literal terms, even if Gao Sheo leave Napoli iure, the profit share would still be given to him.

  Gao Shen guessed that this robably because the wyers on both sides misuood each other's iions.

  Or perhaps there was no misuanding at all; maybe De Laurentiis had outsmarted himself and hadn't thought this through clearly.

  Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of a newly promoted Serie B team, it's not a big deal. But if you sider that iure, pyer transfers could often involve tens of millions of euros, then this bees signifit.

  For example, sider the top pyer on Gao Shen's transfer list Brescia's young midfielder, Hamsik.

  How much is he worth now?

  Brescia has also fallen into the Serie B league, and Hamsik isn't even a core pyer oeam. two million euros would be sidered a high price. But what about iure?

  Either Napoli won't sell him, or his transfer fee will be tens of millions of euros. If 20% of the difference goes to Gao Shen, how much would that be?

  What? De Laurentiis doesn't want to sell?

  No problem! If I coaother team, I'll just e bad poach your pyer, infuriating you, you stingy old miser!

  My God, that sario is so beautiful, I don't even dare to think about it.

  "By the way, if we sign it this way, will it cause any troversy?" Gao Shen asked.

  "At the moment, it doesn't seem like it. The wyers on both sides are experienced, and the terms are clear. There is no problem. Our professor said he didn't quite uand it and asked me to crify with you. If it's not in your favor, it's better to ge it."

  "o ge it," Gao Shen replied, ughing out loud.

  What a clever son of a gun!

  "Why does it sound like you've tricked someone?" Su Qing asked, curious.

  "Don't worry, don't worry, no one's getting tricked. If I sold you, you'd still be ting the money for me!" Gao Shen joked.

  "You've been a great help this time. When I have time, you should e to Italy for a trip. I'll cover all the expenses," Gao Shen offered.

  "Really?"

  "Of course! Brother Shen always keeps his word."

  "No way? I remember ba third grade…"

  "Stop! Don't bring up the past…"

  …

  When people think of Naples, Italy, the first thing that es to mind is the mafia and chaos.

  This perception is not without reason. There are many immigrants in Naples, and the public security is naturally not that good.

  But De Laurentiis proudly told Gao Shen that he doesn't o worry about these issues as the head coach of Napoli, because football is the best pass in this city even the mafia are the most ardent fans of Napoli.

  Of course, no one should have "Napoli's coach" written on their forehead, so oill o be cautious.

  After getting off the phe staff responsible for pig him up specifically took Gao Shen through the old city and the bustling streets of the city ter, giving him a more intuitive feel of this city, which is sidered the most authenti Italian style.

  The buildings aren't tall, and the exterior facades show signs of wear, refleg an eic downturn.

  Advertisements and graffiti are everywhere, like sticky pster.

  The driver, however, did not seem bothered by this but was rather proud. He pointed out a huge graffiti mural of Maradona iy ter, which was created by Napoli fans in 1990.

  Even after more than ten years, the city has never fotten Maradona and maintains his graffiti regurly.

  Naples is a city surrounding the bay. The airport is located in the northeast of the city, while the San Paolo Stadium is in the southwest.

  Iingly, the Posillipo area, where the stadium is located, is also where the wealthy of Naples live. It is sidered the safest area, only known as the Bay Area.

  When Gao Shen arrived at the San Paolo Stadium in Naples, it was already crowded with hundreds of media reporters.

  Some of them were local reporters, while others came from Rome, Min, or even from abroad.

  Just three days ago, De Laurentiis had released the news in the local media that Gao Shen was going to coaapoli.

  This immediately caused a strong shockwave throughout European football.

  Previously, there were rumors in the media that Gao Shen was going to coach Juventus, and Juventus hadn't de. Bnc even said publicly that Gao Shen was the most anticipated young coa European football today.

  Pyers like Nedved, Buffon, and Del Piero had also expressed their opinions publicly, saying that Gao Shen coag Juventus would be very exg, essentially giving the green light fao Shen to take over.

  But who would have thought that Gao Shen would turn around and go to coaapoli?

  Although they are both in Serie B, there are 22 teams in Serie B. Juventus is the quasi-champion everyone had pegged early on, while Napoli is a newly promoted Serie B team that has been ihird tier for two seasons. they be sidered the same?

  Why did Gao Shen give up Juventus to coaapoli?

  Could it be that he was fooled by De Laurentiis of Napoli?

  Those in the know don't speak, and those who don't only guess.

  …

  De Laurentiis stood in front of the office window, watg the media reporters ing ier another, his heart full of excitement.

  He still remembered that not long ago, whe the ribbon for the official renaming of the club, there were only a handful of media reporters. Even after sending press releases to major media outlets, the reports were only a few lines buried in inspicuous ers.

  But now, he hastily ted at least more than 200 media outlets.

  "This is the influence of a double coach!" De Laurentiis excimed with admiration.

  Not just him; evehey previously invited a well-known coach like Ventura to mahe team, they didn't have this kind of appeal.

  "Of course, Gao Shen is very pht now," Marino added with a smile.

  De Laurentiis was very proud of his operation. As for the former head coach, Reja, he had already hahe transition well, and there wouldn't be any problems. The step was to officially sign the tract with Gao Shen.

  However, before that, there was a small hidden dao eliminate.

  "Pierre Paul, there's something I o tell you in advance." De Laurentiis, who was smiling just now, suddenly became stern. Marino, seeing this, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

  This boss is really uable.

  When he likes you, everything is great. But once he dislikes you, sorry, you're out.

  "Boss, please say it."

  "You know, I've put a lot of effort into recruiting Gao Shen this time, and I've also made a big bet. I don't want anyone in the club to mess around or cause trouble on this matter. Do you uand what I mean?"

  Marino's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded. "Uood. Don't worry; I'll keep an eye ohing."

  "Good. You o fully cooperate with Gao Shen and form the team as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to us appearing in Serie A season." De Laurentiis ughed, referring to the five-year pn he had formuted.

  "I uand."

  De Laurentiis' eyes appeared old, but they were actually sharp like an eagle's. After staring at Marino for a while, he turned his head. "I know you've felt aggrieved about this, but don't worry. Ohis is done, you be the general manager."

  When Marino looked up, he was full of surprise, then he beamed with excitement and nodded quickly. "Don't worry, boss; there won't be any trouble."

  As the teical direarino had lost some authority since Gao Shen took over Napoli, as part of his power was transferred to Gao Shen, making Marino more like aor under Gao Shen's and.

  It's impossible for Marino not to feel a bit uneasy about this.

  Humans are emotional creatures.

  But with De Laurentiis' promise, things were different now. If Marino were promoted from teical director to general manager while still retaining his duties as teical director, his authority would signifitly increase.

  More importantly, his future career prospects would also expand.

  …

  Seeing Marino leave happily to carry out his tasks, a slight smile appeared on De Laurentiis' face.

  He was still very satisfied with this teical director. Having worked at Udinese for many years, Marino had enough tacts and the skills to establish a scoutiwork that covered the world for Napoli.

  It's still early days, but wheeam gets promoted to Serie A iure, this work will py a crucial role.

  Gao Shen was also someone De Laurentiis valued greatly.

  De Laurentiis didn't particurly like Italian coaches because they were too mature and cautious, g the ce te ahead. This made Italy's overall tactical style quite servative.

  But Naples is different.

  Whether it's De Laurentiis, the team, or the city itself, everything is full of passion ahusiasm.

  Especially now that the team has been promoted from the third tier to Serie B, De Laurentiis is eager to push for promotion to Serie A and revive Napoli's flory.

  Reja has the ability but cks the boldness.

  But Gao Shen is different. He's young, full of energy, and ce. His teical and tactical cepts are advanced. He dares to think, speak, and act. This aligns perfectly with the current situation in Naples and De Laurentiis' ambitions.

  He is very much looking forward to seeing whether Gao Shen really turn Napoli into a strong Serie A team within three years.

  So, he's willing to take a big gamble!

  The greater the risk, the greater the reward. He uands this principle well!
