The first day at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, was actually a dull day.
Gao Shen gradually lost the freshness that he had just arrived at.
For example having lunch.
Although there are a lot of famous coaches, Gao Shen went to Benitez to ask for a one-click three-link, and even swiped on Twitter, but in fact, it was just like that, just like those peer gatherings.
The only thing that made Gao Shen feel a little satisfied was that someone asked him for a phone call.
Pellegrini of Villarreal, the Chilean engineer is a good man!
They are all famous and handsome, but they are also human beings.
Some people are very addicted to smoking and run out to smoke a cigarette from time to time; some people are used to spit fragrant mouth, and every word must be foul; Some older comrades are older, and in less than an hour, they ran to the bathroom several times...
Anyway, among these twenty or so people, each of them is actually different.
After the lunch break, the most important part of the afternoon started, that is, taking pictures.
Not surprisingly, in Ferguson's words, this is the single most important thing at the annual coaching summit.
In fact, all the media covering this event in the world will only publish this photo.
This is still the news material that UEFA sent to major newspapers after the filming.
Since it is a photo of the world, it is also very particular.
The first consideration is the seat.
UEFA President Platini and Secretary-General David Taylor will also participate in the photo shoot. Needless to say, Platini must be sitting in the front row of C, and the people sitting on both sides of him are a bit particular.
Generally speaking, it is the head coach of the Champions League runner-up.
Ferguson is doing his part, but Chelsea's coach is very troublesome, because Grant led the team to the Champions League final last season, but this season Chelsea's coach is Brazilian coach Scolari.
So, in the end, Wenger sat on the other side of Platini.
This has basically been affirmed by the public.
After the C position is determined, the other positions are also free.
Gao Shen is the most self-aware, and he chose an inconspicuous position in the back row.
Ancelotti, Mourinho, Benitez, Guardiola, Schuster and other giants coaches all sat in the front row.
In the following gatherings, the difference in popularity can be clearly seen.
Except for UEFA's Platini and David Taylor, who went around looking for people to chat and do their best, the other coaches all gathered together and chatted about their own topics.
Although it is the first time for Gao Shen to come here, in fact, his contacts in European football are still good.
Guardiola has been following him all the time, Ancelotti is basically standing with him, plus a lonely Spalletti, they have a lot of people in this small circle, especially after Mourini. The addition of Ao and Ferguson made them faintly the focus of the venue.
But some people seem very lonely, such as Real Madrid coach Schuster.
The people present were either actively involved in the circle, or were well-known and formed a small circle of their own, except for Schuster, who seemed to be alone, and even his compatriot, Bayern Munich head coach Klinsmann Don't pay much attention to him.
It seems that the popularity is a bit poor.
For this reason, Gao Shen also walked over specially and said hello to him.
But soon, he understood why he was ignored.
This guy almost didn't engrave the word arrogance on his forehead, and he spoke in a very aggressive tone.
There are all the coaches in the Champions League, who wants to see you show off?
As for later, the content of Ferguson's speech was actually not new. It was all the content that Gao Shen had seen in the tactical library before, but now listening to Ferguson say it himself, it still feels quite different.
But when it comes to completeness, tactical book management is better.
...
...
In theory, after the first day of the meeting, you can leave after saying something.
But everyone on the scene knew that UEFA still had to give this face.
What's more, UEFA does provide them with delicious food and drink, and even the hotels where they stay are the best in the area.
No need and no use.
It was rare that the league was suspended and there was no competition pressure. Ancelotti endured a card addiction for a day, and finally got out of control, pulling Gao Shen and others to say that he would play all night.
Sometimes Gao Shen really wants to ask, how come you are so conservative on the court because you are so gambling on the poker table?
However, he guessed, if asked, Ancelotti would fight him desperately.
After playing cards until after three in the morning, Spalletti couldn't stand it anymore, Gao Shen also took the opportunity to call to stop, and quickly fled back to the room, and slept until noon one by one, only to be woken up by the phone call to eat.
There is only one item on the agenda for the afternoon, and that is discussions and proposals.
Since the Serie A telephone incident, the focus of the discussion has been the referee issue, and in recent times, the way to put pressure on referees has intensified.
Putting pressure on the referee is actually a side ball, and within the scope of the rules, each team is doing everything possible to exert pressure on the referee, hoping to make the referee do more to his advantage. 's penalty.
Yes, all the head coaches know that, including Mourinho and Ferguson, who often criticize the referee, they are very clear that the referee is not a god, and when they make a penalty in a game, they must sometimes favor their opponents and sometimes favor them. Own.
The reason why they bombarded and criticized is more of a tactic, the purpose is to put pressure on the referee, so that they can make more favorable judgments.
This is their real purpose.
Including the frequent falls of Barcelona players, including the fact that they often surrounded the referee and blocked the referee at once, these are actually pressure methods that are not expressly prohibited in the rules.
Of course, UEFA later stipulated that it was not allowed to contain the referee and put pressure on it, so it did not happen again.
In the proposal stage, everyone also puts forward different opinions according to their own needs, and some of them have more than one.
To put it bluntly, everyone has their own position, and no one is objective and fair.
For example, Premier League teams want the referee to enforce the law more loosely.
Everyone knows that Premier League teams have always been rude and direct, and it would be good for them to be looser in enforcement.
La Liga hopes that referees can protect technical players more, which is also because they are good at technology and passing the ball.
Guardiola's proposal is to hope that the referee will better protect a talent like Messi.
To put it bluntly, in Europe, professional football is a show, the Champions League is the most high-end show, and a star like Messi is the best actor, so Guardiola’s proposal is also correct.
It just won't be accepted.
Once Messi is protected, how can other teams defend against Barcelona?
Who can stop Messi without fouling?
Therefore, as soon as Guardiola's proposal came out, someone refuted it on the spot.
…
The advanced proposal seems a bit big.
He suggested that instead of the eight seeded teams based on European points, the championship teams of the four major leagues should automatically qualify for one seed.
This proposal has aroused a lively discussion.
Like Naples, who, as the Serie A champions, is ranked in the fourth position is actually not good for anyone.
In other words, are Real Madrid and Bayern really confident they can beat Naples?
But not everyone agrees with this.
Real Madrid coach Schuster retorted in front of Gao Shen, arguing that this proposal only considers Napoli's own self-interest, while ignoring the common interests of the other 31 teams.
"I don't think that such a platform is suitable for discussing such self-serving opinions on such occasions! I think that UEFA does not need to discuss such unrealistic opinions at all, and waste everyone's time. ."
The implication is that Gao Shen is accused of seeking self-interest for Naples and changing the rules of UEFA.
The scene was all stunned.
Everyone had a heated discussion just now, and Gao Shen's proposal was a good one.
Gao Shen smiled bitterly to himself. He had long heard that Schuster was rebellious and open-mouthed, and he was right.
Just now, I took the initiative to go up to say hello, but I got a cold **** on my hot face.
It's better now, just shut up if you don't want to discuss it, what are you pretending to be?
After all, don't you just despise Gao Shen and his Naples?
As for when Gao Shen offended Schuster, that Gao Shen did not know.
Maybe it was during the draw for the Champions League, or maybe it was when the La Liga media were discussing the need to change coaches and ask them to return to Gao Shen…
But none of that matters anymore.
The venue fell silent, but Gao Shen stood up.
He first admitted that his proposal does have a certain selfishness, because Naples was indeed assigned to the fourth pot in the draw this season, which is unfair to Naples.
"But I can also understand the thinking of a lot of first-tier teams, they may not be willing to accept such a change."
What Gao Shen said is not necessarily, that is, some people are happy, and some people are not happy.
"If you want to accuse my proposal of being selfish, I want to say that the vast majority of people present have this qualification, but only one person does not!"
Gao Shen didn't point out who it was, and he still saved face for him, but everyone knew who he was talking about.
Because, when speaking of this person, Gao Shen looked directly at Schuster.
"Because of this person, the reason why he can still occupy the seed qualification of the first-tier team is because of me! Without me, it is still unknown whether he can even sit here and accuse me outright."
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen sat down directly.
Guardiola and Ancelotti were sitting next to him, both of them reassuring him in unison, signaling him to calm down.
Schuster's face became very embarrassed. UU Reading
The reason why he choked Gaoshen is because from the first day of his coaching, he has been constantly compared by the media with Gaoshen, and even every time he loses, some media will call for the management to ask Gaoshen to return to Gaoshen. He hated Gaoshen from the bottom of his heart, and everything he saw in Gaoshen was not pleasing to the eye.
But he didn't expect that Gao Shen would give him such a shame in public.
More importantly, he couldn't refute it.
Without his championship in 2006, with the results of the past five years, Real Madrid would not necessarily be able to rank in the seed group.
This makes Schuster completely irrefutable.
And his previous rhetoric was more like picking up the bowl to eat, and putting down the bowl to curse mother.
He hated Gao Shen even more in his heart.
Battle of the Bernabeu, I want you to look good!
I see you can still dance for a few days!
