Chapter 313 Transfer Rights

Soon, Gao Bo received another call from Mendes, who invited Atletico Madrid to go to the club for an interview.

Although Gao Bo is still on vacation, since it is a team of Atletico Madrid's level, Gao Bo is of course gladly invited to go.

Gao Bo drove a rented car along the winding Spanish coastline before turning to the A3 motorway and driving all the way into downtown Madrid, in central Spain.

This is the gateway to Europe, with mountains to the north and flat valleys to the south by the Taho River.

It is the capital and largest city of Spain. Various medieval castles and palaces have made it a famous tourist attraction in Europe.

But for fans, the mention of Madrid has to remind people of Madrid's two teams.

Real Madrid, as well as Atletico Madrid.

The two rivals are Madrid's calling card, with the Santiago Bernabeu being one of the most famous stadiums in the world, while Atletico Madrid's Calderón is not so famous, but it is not so famous among fans.

........

After meeting Mendes in Madrid, the two sides head to the Calderón Stadium, home of Atletico Madrid.

With a capacity of 54,000, Calderón is one of the best stadiums in the world, having been awarded a five-star football stadium by UEFA in 2004.

Compared to Wardway, Calderón is indeed much grandiose.

Gao Bo looked at the stadium, and then walked into the stadium with Mendes.

In a dedicated reception room, they met Cerezo, president of Atlético de Madrid, as well as the club's general manager, Gil Marin, and sporting director, García Pitacci.

"Welcome, Mr. Gao Bo!" Cerezo held out his hand, and Gao Bo reached out as well.

"It was an informal meeting!"

Pitage on the other side said.

Gao Bo glanced at him and nodded to show that he didn't mind, there was no problem. After all, meeting with Atletico Madrid does not mean that they have to choose Gao Bo, everyone still has to get to know each other.

On the contrary, Cerezo was very dissatisfied with Pitaci's casual interjection, he actually had a very high intention for Gao Bo in his heart, and this time in Cerezo's opinion it was just a ceremonial meeting, and Atletico Madrid wanted a manager who was sharp enough after all.

And Gao Bo's experience made Cerezo sure that this Chinese doesn't care what style of football he plays, as long as he can bring victory!

What Atletico Madrid needs is not a tradition, a style, but to win, to win, to restore the team's position in Spain as soon as possible!

And not only Atletico Madrid, but Cerezo himself needs a manager with enough quality to be his right-hand man at the club.

Cerezo knows that if he wants to strengthen his position in the team and continue to weaken the influence of the Hill family, the most important thing is to find a manager who can lead Atletico Madrid on the right track and win a trophy with enough weight.

Cerezo, though unhappy with Pitacci interjecting, didn't see it on his face at all, and instead smiled and said, "I've watched you fight many times, but you look much younger than you do on TV." The results you've achieved in these two seasons speak for themselves. God, lead a team like Luton Town to win the FA Cup and Europa League, can you tell me how you did it? ”

Gao Bo thought about it, and it seems that this is the interview for him by the president of Atletico Madrid.

It's also similar to looking for a job, how do you have to communicate with each other, and go through an interview.

"I find good players, match them with the right tactics, use high-level training to forge a fighting team, and then give them courage and confidence."

Gao Bo replied confidently.

Cerezo nodded, not knowing that he was unhappy with the question, but he wasn't asking about Luton anymore.

After all, Gao Bo's results are there.

English FA Cup, Europa League.

These two trophies are enough to explain everything, no matter how Gao Bo did it, but people have accomplished such an achievement.

"I would like to ask Mr. Gao Bo, what do you think of Atletico Madrid... What do you think about the state of affairs over the years. ”

Gao Bo cheered up, this is the right topic!

So he thought about it for a while, and then replied, "Confusion." ”

Cerezo nodded, this was known to everyone, but he also knew that Gao Bo must have something to say.

"Atletico Madrid has been so chaotic over the years, I'll talk about it at the sporting level, from Sacchi and Ranieri, to Bianchi and Aguirre, to Flores.

These managers with different styles have brought in many players with different styles, but they have never really developed a set of effective tactical ideas to pinch the players together.

Atletico Madrid have a good group of players, but the style of the team has always been top-heavy or disorganized. It's great for a team like that to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League. And more importantly, Atletico Madrid's giant temperament has long been squandered in the past ten years of decline. Now Atletico Madrid's players still have the consciousness of giants. ”

Gao Bo spread his hand and said.

Pitage was a little dissatisfied with Gao Bo's words, and he asked, "Is there any good way for you to solve this problem?" ”

Gao Bo glanced at Pitage.

"This is our sporting director."

On the other side, Gilmarin introduced it, but it wasn't too enthusiastic.

It seems that the relationship between the two right-hand men next to Cerezo is not very good.

Gao Bo has a preliminary understanding of Atletico Madrid's high-level form.

"Of course!" Gao Bo said.

After that, the conference room fell silent, and Pitage saw that Gao Bo didn't say anything next, so he simply continued to ask: "What way?" ”

"League Champion!" Gao Bo spread his hands.

"What did you say?"

"I said that winning the league would give Atletico Madrid a big feeling."

Pitage almost burst out laughing: "It's something everyone knows, but the question is, how do you win the league?! ”

"It's something that the Atletico Madrid manager needs to think about, Mr. Pitacc."

"You mean that if you lead Atletico Madrid, you can win the league."

"Of course!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Gao Bo.

Let Atletico Madrid win La Liga?

This Chinese no kidding?!!

"This is not a joke, Mr. Gao Bo." Even Jill Marin thinks Gao Bo is a bit unreliable.

Gao Bo smiled, "Why should I be kidding you, Mr. Jill Marin. ”

"Mr. Gao Bo, the last time Atletico Madrid won the La Liga title was in the 1995/1996 season, it was 14 years ago!" Pitage had to be reminded that he felt that this guy who had never coached in the top flight was a bit too unaware of the sky. Can such a frivolous young man really take charge of Atletico Madrid? Pitage was highly skeptical.

"Does that have anything to do with what I'm talking about? Just because no one has done that in the last fourteen years doesn't mean I can't. When I made my debut at Luton Town, there were a lot of people who doubted me and even thought I would be relegated from the English Second Division. But now, I'm leading Luton Town out of the Second Division to the Championship, and then the FA Cup and Europa League. ”

Gao Bo was full of confidence and spread out the honor of his life.

The experience of leading a team like Luton Town to such an important title is indeed very convincing.

"The top league is not the same as the lower league! Mr. Gao Bo. This time it was Cerezzo who spoke up.

"So, I need the support of the club."

"What do you need?"

"Transfer Rights !!"

As soon as Gao Bo said this, his faces immediately changed greatly in both Gilmarin and Pitage.

The two of them fought to the death, isn't it just to compete for the right to transfer, this can be said to be one of the most important powers for a club, if Gao Bo takes away this right as soon as he comes, then the two of them are still playing a hairy game.

"This is not England, Mr. Gobo!" Jill Marin spoke out against it.

"Then I can't help it, if I want to be the manager of Atletico Madrid, I need transfer rights. I'm sure you all know the performance of the players I bought in Luton, if you don't give me transfer rights, then I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do! ”

There was silence in the reception room, Cerezo bowed his head slightly and was thinking, while Gil Marin and Pitage glanced at each other, and now the two rivals have become a gang, and the transfer rights are taken by Gao Bo, and the influence of the two of them in the club will plummet.

But now it's up to Cerezo's decision.

Spain is not England after all, and most of the managers here can only have the right to advise on transfer issues, and few managers can get transfer power in Spain.

Cerezo remembered Gobo's squad at Luton, and in such a lower league, Gobo can be poached like Antoine Griezmann. With such good players as N'Golo Kante, Sandro and Vardy, Gao Bo's vision is indeed very good.

And everyone has seen his performance in Luton, so it is not incomprehensible that Gao Bo wants the right to transfer.

However, this is not in line with the tradition of Spanish football.

If you want to ask Gao Bo to coach... To give or not to give?

Seeing that the other party was silent, Gao Bo was not in a hurry, sitting on the chair and waiting for the other party's next step.

Cerezo thought for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Mr. Gobo." Atletico Madrid don't have any European games to play next season, so our transfer budget for next season has been reduced to just 25 million, because it is foreseeable that our income will decrease, so we will not invest much. ”

What Cerezo means is that even if you get the transfer rights, it probably doesn't mean much – it's not much anyway.

Gobo didn't think so, he felt that 25 million was a lot - after all, he didn't even have a transfer budget of 1 million pounds in his first season at Luton.

"Twenty-five million can do a lot of things, and besides, you can sell a group of players to raise transfer funds."

Pitage was frightened, this master first asked for transfer rights before he came, and then said that he was going to sell people...

It's really scary.

Who is he going to sell?!

To Pitacci's horror even more, Cerezo stood up.

"I agree! Mr. Gao Bo!! ”
