Chapter 254: The Role of the Broker
Naturally, Leon couldn't have crashed in like a fly without a head, and he called Grosso's agent, Fisichella, before coming to Palermo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Leon's communication and efforts with Fisichella on the phone, the agent agreed to facilitate the meeting.
The meeting point is in a nondescript café in a street near the Palermo pier.
Leon arrived at the café more than ten minutes early, and after waiting less than two minutes, Grosso arrived accompanied by his agent Fisicella.
To be honest, Grosso is not enthusiastic about this meeting, he is not interested in the invitation of a La Liga promoted polo team, Palermo is also a promoted horse, and the player himself is playing in the country, so there is no need to leave his homeland.
However, Fisichella is Grosso's more trusted agent, and the two sides have been working together for a long time, and under the persuasion of the agent, Grosso reluctantly agreed to come to meet. In addition, the opposing head coach flew directly to Palermo, which also made Grosso feel more or less proud, and the sincerity of the other party seems to be quite good.
***********
After a few pleasantries, the two sides quickly got to the point.
Leon made no secret of his love and value for Grosso, and Leon was conveying a meaning: he admired Grosso very much, very much!
For a player, the appreciation of the head coach is crucial, and Grosso, who is already a 27-year-old veteran, can naturally understand what Leon wants to convey: a manager who appreciates himself so much, if he is in such a team, there will definitely be no problem in the main position.
However, Grosso is also a regular in Palermo, which cannot be used as an attraction, but with the attitude and sincerity expressed by Leon, it is a good foundation.
Subsequently, Li Ang focused on promoting that Sporting Gijón has a UEFA Cup to play in the new season!
This made Grosso a little surprised, he was not prepared for this meeting, naturally his understanding of Sporting Gijón was relatively shallow, except for knowing from his agent that this was a La Liga promoted polo team, there was no other in-depth understanding.
He really didn't expect Sporting Gijón to qualify for Europe?!
Grosso found it impossible to imagine that Sporting Gijón's European qualification could only be achieved in La Liga, so how could a La Liga team possibly qualify for Europe?
Unless it's through a cup?!
Leon saw Grosso's surprise and slight temptation, he knew that he had captured the psychology of this left-back, and the European competition was indeed very attractive to Grosso, a 'veteran' who is not yet famous.
Leon then began to talk about how his Sporting Gijón made it all the way to the Copa del Rey final and lifted the Copa del Rey with a comeback victory over mighty Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Then, as Leon expected, Grosso was shocked, and his eyes were different from before.
There is a very different difference between an ordinary La Liga promoted coach and a promoted coach who led the team to the Copa del Rey title, especially the manager who defeated Real Madrid in the final.
***********
Leon began to instill a point of view in the other side, his Sporting Gijón is not a 'lift' team that intends to mess around, but has a certain strength and revenge, we went to La Liga but wanted to have some ambitions, not to mention European competitions!
Grosso is indeed a little excited, what does it mean for a player to be able to participate in European competitions?
For the twenty-seven-year-old Grosso, with his current situation, there is almost no hope of joining the giants, so don't think about the Champions Cup, then, the biggest dream is probably to be able to play in the League Cup!
Now, there is such an opportunity in front of him, and it depends on what Grosso thinks.
Grosso hasn't spoken much, mainly because his agent Fisichella is communicating with Leon.
At this time, Grosso finally spoke, expressing his concern about going to Spain to play.
Italian players are basically reluctant to go out to play, on the one hand, because they are still immersed in the pride of the Serie A 'mini-World Cup', and on the other hand, the warm environment of southern Europe has long been the lazy character of Italians and lack the enterprising spirit to go out.
Of course, the Spaniards are about the same as the Italians, and in 2004, there were not many Spanish players playing abroad.
"Italian players play abroad and very few succeed. Grosso said.
"If Mr. Christian Vieri hears that, he will not be happy. Leon joked, and immediately gave an example, when Vieri joined Juventus and was not reused, and then left the Iberian Peninsula, after Atletico Madrid began to break out and shocked Europe, he was bought back to Italy by Inter Milan at a sky-high price, which can be said to be a return to his hometown.
Vieri's example was clearly appropriate, and Grosso nodded his head.
***********
"Mr. Grosso. "If you can do well in the UEFA Cup, it will help you to return to the Italian national team." ”
Li Ang finally said that although Grosso is an Italian international, he is only a fringe international and has not been in the Italian national team for more than a year, and there is nothing Grosso in the Portuguese European Championship this time.
Clearly, the desire to return to the national team is strong for the 27-year-old left wing-back.
"You're right, sir. Grosso's attitude is much better, and even the honorifics are used, because Leon is right, the European competition is indeed helpful for him to return to the Italian national team, a team that can play in European competition, compared to a Serie A promotion horse, which one will be more concerned by the Italian national team manager, the answer is obvious.
Hearing Grosso say this, Leon knew in his heart that this matter was a third of the way, as long as Grosso was moved.
Grosso and his agent will not give an answer right away, but the atmosphere has improved a lot through this communication.
The conversation was almost over, and the two sides began to enjoy coffee and snacks and talk about anything.
Subsequently, on Grosso's chance to go to the bathroom, Leon shoved a cheque for ten thousand euros in front of Fisichella and told him that it was an advance. If Grosso succeeds in the transfer, the remaining 40,000 will immediately go to Mr. Fisichella's account. If it doesn't work out, this 10,000 yuan should be the foundation for them to cooperate in the future.
Fisichella quietly put away the check and patted his chest to show that everything was left to him.
***********
From the point of view of agent Fisicella, Grosso's transfer, playing abroad, and being able to play in European competitions are also good things, on the one hand, the transfer can earn commissions, in addition, if it is really possible to achieve the purpose of 'saving the country by the curve' by playing abroad and playing European games, and let Grosso return to the Italian national team, this is a good thing for both the agent Fisichella and Grosso.
All he had to do was persuade Grosso to leave Palermo and go to Spain.
So, Fisichella felt that she was at ease with the money.
After receiving the assurance from Fisichella, Li Ang felt a lot more relieved, and of course, this incident also raised his vigilance against the agent in his heart to a certain level of vigilance again. He can poach people in this way, and it's very cool, but if his own player's agent helps other clubs pry into his corner of Leon, Leon will definitely hate it.
Fire and theft prevention agents, Leon and Mr. Fisichella looked at each other and smiled, but they were secretly vigilant in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
