Two days befao Shen arrived in Madrid, the results of the Real Madrid presidential ele were announced.

  Due to Gao Shen's resignation and Martin's aggressive attacks on him in the media, Martin's image plummeted, and his reputation pletely colpsed. As a result, he failed to pose any threat to Calderon in the Real Madrid presidential ele.

  Calderon was eventually elected as the new president of Real Madrid, and his running mate Mijatovic became the general manager of the team.

  The day after their victory was annouhey immediately revealed the name of Real Madrid's new head coach: Capello!

  This decision sparked intense discussion across European football.

  Gao Shen had just led Real Madrid to a double championship, withdrawing from the spotlight quickly afterward. For Capello to take over Real Madrid at this moment would undoubtedly require great ce, as Real Madrid fans would only have higher expectations for him.

  Meanwhile, after sufferibacks st season, Bara had bolstered their squad by signing the superstar Henry, determio challenge Real Madrid once again, and their strength seemed better than ever.

  Additionally, with Capello taking over at Real Madrid and Juventus being relegated as a penalty, the morale of the Bianeri (Juventus) had colpsed.

  World-css pyers like Vieira, Ibrahimovic, Emerson, avaro, Zambrotta, and Thuram were actively looking for new clubs iransfer market, unwilling to stay and py in Serie B with Juventus.

  However, some notable pyers like Nedved, Del Piero, and Buffon chose to remain loyal and decided to stay and fight with Juventus.

  After Capello's appoi at Real Madrid, Turin Sports Daily revealed that Juventus had narrowed down their head coach sele to five didates, one of whom was Gao Shen, the man who had just led Real Madrid to a double championship.

  This riggered heated discussions among Juventus fans.

  A questionnaire survey showed that even though Gao Shen had achieved the success of winning a double at Real Madrid and was reized by numerous football legends like Sacchi and Valdano, many fans were still skeptical about his capability.

  In the survey ducted by Turin Sports Daily, less than 20% of the fans supported Gao Shen being the head coach of Juventus.

  Their reasoning was simple: they didn't believe Gao Shen could lead Juventus to a revival.

  Gao Shen wasn't particurly ed about the stroions from Juventus fans.

  When he was at Real Madrid, didn't the fans also object?

  But now, things were different.

  ...

  The day Gao Shen arrived in Madrid, he received a call from Florentino.

  The former Real Madrid president had learned of his arrival date and specifically called to invite him for a meal.

  Gao Shen did not refuse and attehe dihat night. Also present were Butragueno, Manuel Redondo, and Valdano. Naturally, the topic of discussion was the Real Madrid presidential ele.

  Florentiiohat he still hadn't figured out what dire Real Madrid should take, so he chose not to participate in this presidential ele. However, he felt that Calderon actually had the ability to lead the club.

  Gao Shen had his reservations about this.

  Calderon indeed had some abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have reached where he was today. But whether he could do well as Real Madrid's president was another matter.

  It's simir to how former Bara president Gaspart was hailed as the best vice-president in history, but when he became president, he turned out to be the worst in Bara's history. Who could expin that?

  Florentino also inquired about Gao Shen's pns and even asked if he needed any help.

  To be fair, Florentino still had a wide range of tacts in La Liga.

  However, Gao Shen politely deed, saying he could manage on his own.

  He didn't want to owe Florentino any favors.

  Favors are hard to repay!

  Meanwhile, Valdano ao Shey of advice, mainly about choosing his eam.

  ...

  During the meal, Gao Shen received a call from Fernando Lucas.

  Wheuro the hotel, Lucas was already waiting for him there.

  And he brought some news.

  "Lorenzo is ba Seville."

  "Why?" Gao Shen was very surprised.

  He khat Lucas was referring to the city of Seville, not the club.

  That was Bueura's hometown.

  "When Capello took over Real Madrid, he brought his own coag team, including a fitness coach. So, Mijatovic refused to renew his trad directly termi."

  Lucas still looked indignant whealked about this.

  This was the man who helped Real Madrid win a double , and he was discarded just like that.

  The direct termination of the tract meant that they didn't eveo pay any severance.

  Gao Shen also felt very unfortable. He trusted Bueura's ability greatly.

  After thinking it over, he called Bueura, who was in Seville.

  "I'm ba Spain. If you have time in the few days, let's meet up. I'd like to have a good talk with you."

  On the phone, Bueura sounded a bit down, but he was very happy to hear from Gao Shen. He immediately said that he would take care of his family affairs and head north in a few days to meet up and have a discussion.

  "Seriously, Gao."

  After Gao Shen hung up with Bueura, Fernando Lucas looked at him early. "Real Madrid isn't the same as when you were here. Capello has his own people. I'm actually fine because Capello doesn't have an analyst, but Maqueda has been pletely marginalized."

  After a pause, Lucas gritted his teeth and said, "I'd rather just follow you!"

  Gao Shen looked at his friend, who had always been loyal to him, and said, "Fernando, you know, I haven't chosen a team yet, and it might not even be in one of the top five leagues. You o think this through."

  "I know. Whether it's more money or less, it's not important," Lucas said firmly. "Besides, we mao lead Real Madrid to a double before. Even if we don't coach a top-five league team this time, we still take them to the Champions League. I have faith in you!"

  Gao Shen nodded and gave Lucas a hard pat on the shoulder. "Alright, it's settled then. But you o tinue your studies at Loughbh Uy. That's our core on."

  "Of course, I'll double down on it."

  ...

  True to his word, the day, Lucas went to Butragueno and submitted his resignation.

  Befao She Real Madrid, he had specifically asked Butragueno to take care of Lucas.

  Back then, he believed that Bueura was highly capable, and Real Madrid had no reason to make things difficult for him. Instead, he was more worried about Lucas, but who would have thought that Lucas turned out fine while Bueura got fired.

  This time, when Lucas resigned, Butragueno tried to refuse, but upon learning that he nning to follow Gao Shen, he could only agree and called Gao Shen to inform him of the situation.

  However, Butragueno showed his righteousness. Although he terminated Lucas' tract, he didn't demand Lucas repay the tuition fees Real Madrid had previously paid for his studies at Loughbh Uy.

  Lucas directly moved into Gao Shen's room iel, and the two started preparing materials for the upiing with Juventus.

  They focused mainly on analyzing Juventus' current lineup and situation. Gao Shen o formute a detailed pn, including how to get promoted from Serie B and how to perform in Serie A ter.

  His goal was to help Juventus regain its flory in the shortest possible time.

  Simultaneously, Gao Shen also wrote a detailed analysis of the current state of Italian football, including the tactical styles of Serie A teams. He believed that Serie A had long lost its previous teical and tactical advantages.

  In this analysis repao Shen ducted a detailed analysis, starting with Juventus, then c A, Inter Min, Roma, and other Serie A teams. He cluded that Serie A was outdated in terms of teiques and tactid needed a signifit overhaul.

  Merely pointing out the issues wasn't enough; Gao Shen also provided solutions to the problems.

  These were aligned with his actical ideas.

  He stated that if he took over Juventus, he would start from certain aspects, what ges he po implement for the team, and what goals he aimed to achieve, thereby driving an improvement in overall petitiveness.

  His focus was not just on Serie A. From the beginning, his target was European petitions, especially the Champions League.

  In Gao Shen's words, if he were allowed to take charge of Juventus, with the club's full support in terms of transfers and finances, he was fident that within three years, he could build a team highly petitive in European football.

  He even broke down the whole pn into different phases, with clearly defined goals for each stage.

  In esse was a highly feasible proposal.

  Not only that, Gao Shen also privately piled a list of promising young pyers who could be sigo the Serie B league based on his memories before his time-travel. All these pyers were highly cost-effective. If Gao Shen successfully took over Juventus, he p these young talents into the Bianeri one by one, gradually repg veterans like Nedved.

  Of course, this list was only known to him.

  He was fident that within three years, he could not only bring Juventus back to the forefront of Serie A but also lead them to recim the Champions League!

  After pleting the pn, Gao Shen shared it with Valdano, Sacchi, Carlo, and others, rovided their suggestions, especially Sacchi, who was more familiar with Italian football. Many of his suggestions were precise and valuable.

  However, they all had a on doubt: Gao Shen was too fident in his trarategies.

  You must know that even with giant teams, the probability of transfer failures is quite high.

  But in Gao Shen's pn, he didn't seem to have any such s and appeared fully fident in his ability to sign the right pyers.

  When asked why he was so fident, Gao Shen would simply smile without giving a detailed expnation, and they didn't press further.

  Perhaps they thought Gao Shen had his own criteria ahods for scouting talent.

  But regardless, as Sacchi and Valdano put it, this was a very high-quality and preheeam-building pn.

  "Take this pn to Bnc," Sacchi enced him over the phoh a smile. "I believe there will definitely be no problems."

  Gao Shen also thought it was feasible.

  He couldn't wait to make a big impa the new season and on a age.
