Pal's reg hairline gives him a wise appearance.

  When he saw Gao Shen arrive, he was very surprised.

  They had dealt with each other before, but at that time, Gao Shen was just an intern. Now, Gao Shen is the head coach of Real Madrid.

  "Ag head coach? The interim coach is now the head coach!" he thought in surprise.

  What surprised him even more was how eloquent Gao Shen was. As soon as they met, Gao Shen started menting about his helpless situation with the first team and how his superiors had given him impossible tasks. But now, with no one avaible to help, what could he do?

  "Michel, you must know what the new chairman said, right?" Gao Shen asked, sensing the right moment.

  "What? He said a lot." Michel frowrying to recall.

  "He said we o evaluate Real Madrid's stars, cut half of the inpetent pyers, and reahe locker room."

  Michel's eyes widened in shock. He looked at Gao Shen in disbelief, who nodded ily and helplessly.

  This suddenly reminded Michel of the long-rumored news.

  The ma is about to get serious!

  In January 2005, Luxemburgo repced Remon as the head coach of Real Madrid with the aim anizing the locker room. Before Luxemburgo was dismissed, there was a mutiny in the Real Madrid locker room; the superstars were extremely dissatisfied with his striess. Florentino Pérez brought in Caro with the io suppress the superstars, but Caro turned out to be too gentle.

  From the coag ge to the dismissal of teical director Sacchi, atability rose step by step, leading to Florentinnation.

  However, there was also a theory that Florentino could have avoided resignation, but he couldn't be tough on the superstars. So, he arranged for Vice Chairman Martín to take office to get rid of those superstars.

  Because of this, as soon as Martín took office, he decred that he would cut half of the inpetent pyers.

  In this light, isn't Gao Shen just the tool in the hands of the new chairman?

  …

  Gao Shen didn't know about all the events that had transpired at Real Madrid in the past year.

  At the time, he had only seen some news reports in a, which were not very detailed, just broad reports such as Florentinnation and Luxemburgo's dismissal.

  Michel thought everyone knew, and sihese were not secrets, he told Gao Shehing.

  The turmoil here was haernal flicts within any pany he had known.

  But Gao Shen also felt a bit excited and sensed an opportunity.

  After chatting for more than half an hour, Michel gave the green light.

  He even directly handed Gao Shen the roster of the sed team, letting him choose pyers.

  Castil, the sed team, pyed in La Liga this season, but their performance wasn't great, currently ranked eighth. They had no prospects for promotion and didn't o worry abation. Michel was fident and generous.

  Gao Shen also showed respect, promising to unicate with Michel in advance about the pyers he would py. All pyers not included in the first team's pying list could return to the sed team to eheir results.

  Michel initially felt fine, but watg Gao Shen pid choose his main pyers ainful.

  Captain Arbeloa, maier Negredo, midfielder De Red, midfielder Javi Garcia…

  Each time Gao Sheed a pyer, Michel's heart ached. He could only hope Gao Shen would keep his promise, allowing these pyers to return to the sed team, otherwise, he'd struggle with the remaining squad.

  Of course, system-wise, it is the sed team's duty to supply talent unditionally to the first team.

  Gao Shen noticed Michel's expression aly ughed but had no choice.

  Real Madrid's youth team was full of talent, but there was no clear path to the first team. The petition in Real Madrid's first team was fierce, making it difficult for youth pyers to secure a pce.

  But now, Gao Shen really needed pyers.

  However, Gao Shen soon entered a problem.

  There were two Callejons in the sed team.

  Juanmi Callejon and José Callejon, both een years old, born on February 11, 1987, bht-footed wingers, one pying on the left and one on the right. Both were key pyers for the sed team.

  Gao Shen, though a fan in his previous life, hadn't noticed this detail.

  Whie was the Callejon he remembered?

  In the end, Gao Shen decided to promote both to the first team.

  Take them both and figure it out ter.

  This made Michel nearly cry.

  Gao Shen also noticed another pyer on the list.

  "Filipe Luís?" Gao Shen poi the pyer and looked at Michel.

  A Brazilian, born on August 9, 1985, left-back, this was the same Filipe Luís who ter became a top left-back at Atlétiadrid.

  But why was he at Real Madrid?

  Michel nodded, "Yes, he is the Brazilian youngster loaned by the team from Rentistas. Caro kept him. He is the mai-back this season and has performed well."

  Gao Shen read Filipe Luís's resume and found that the Brazilian first pyed for Brazil's Figueirense, was loao Ajax but didn't stay, then Figueirense sold him to the Uruguayan team Rentistas, which loaned him to Real Madrid.

  Real Madrid had introduced twuayan pyers, Pablo García and Diogo, managed by the same agent.

  Filipe Luís hadn't appeared in the first team and pyed directly in the sed team, so many fans, including Gao Shen, didn't know he had pyed for Real Madrid.

  This was definitely a huge surprise!

  How good was Filipe Luís?

  At his peak, he left-back, both offensively and defensively solid. From Deportivo to Atlétiadrid, his performance was sistently high.

  More importantly, if Gao Shen remembered correctly, he soon became a key pyer after joiniivo. Despite breaking his leg once, he still drew attention from Real Madrid and Bara, ter being a top three left-ba the world.

  Imagine a pyer who could still bee world-css after a leg break – what talent!

  In the first team, Carlos was Gao Shen's stro opposition. Gao Shen always wao repce Carlos, but Carlos was too important to Real Madrid. Besides Carlos, who else could py left-back?

  Raul Bravo? Ramos as a stand-in?

  Now, with Filipe Luís, although Brazilian, he could ease this .

  More importantly, this could send a signal.

  By addressing Carlos, whether it meant using Raul Bravo or having Ramos and Arbeloa fill in, it would suppress the Brazilian fa, boosting the morale of the local pyers. Isn't that a good thing?

  Over the years, the local pyers had been suppressed by the Brazilian fa and superstars. Even Raul couldn't py his best position and was forced to py in midfield, so they were willing to cooperate with Gao Shen.

  But ohey domihe locker room, would this cooperation tinue?

  Who could guarahey wouldn't bee the Brazilian fa?

  Remember, Raul, Guti, and others had a closer retionship with Del Bosque and Hierro.

  A leader must always sider the future.

  This seemed distant, but Gao Shen had to guard against it.

  From the head coach's standpoint, bance is the best locker room situation.

  Filipe Luís was a suitable starting point, showing that Gao Shen didn't care about local, superstar, or Brazilian fas. As long as someone was willing to py for Real Madrid and cooperate with him, they were wele.

  With this in mind, Gao Shen ticked Filipe Luís's hout hesitation.

  If Arbeloa, Negredo, De Red, and others were expected, Filipe Luís was a great surprise.

  Later, Gao Sheed three more pyers: Granero, Parejo, and Juan Mata. He initially po pick young talents like Bueno, but seeing Michel's resentful eyes, he held back.

  Even so, he took away half of Michel's main pyers and some key substitutes, making the Castil coach feel like he was being fyed alive.

  This ese kid was really ruthless!

  …

  When he came, he was alone, but wheurned, he had a group of people.

  Not only were there a dozen sed-team pyers behind him, but Gao Shen also poached intern Fernando Lucas.

  Currently, the first team's coag staff were all Carlos's people, with Maqueda as the assistant coach. Gao Shen needed someorusted, so he brought Lucas along.

  A group of them marched through the barbed wire, entering the first team's training area.

  The young pyers were very surprised when they received the notice. Some were the same age as Gao Shen and had dealt with him before. They didn't expect Gao Shen to bee the head coad for them to be promoted to the first team, realizing their long-held dreams. How could they not be excited?

  Who doesn't look forward to a bright future?

  Ohey crossed this barbed wire, who would want to go back?

  Gao Shen's big move quickly reached the first team.

  The coag staff hadn't been notified beforehand, so they were caught off guard.

  The pyers were even more shocked.

  Under Caro, several sed-team pyers had been promoted, resulting in 32 pyers in the first team, including foalkeepers.

  Now, Gao Shen brought over a dozen more pyers, pushing the squad size to over forty.

  What was he trying to do?

  Did the board really allow this?

  Didn't he uand that quality is more important than quantity?

  Raul, Guti, Casils, Ramos, and others stood by, watg the se unfold.

  "I thought I was brave, but he's even more daring," Ramos ughed.

  Guti also smiled, "I'm starting to like him too."

  Raul and Casils are both cautious, but at this moment, it is hard to hide their surprise and joy, but at the same time they are also a little more worried.

  things really go so smoothly?
