This is revenge!

At the Mareo training base, in the head coach's office, Leon was furious, and the tactical board was also thrown to the ground by him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hierro successfully persuaded Morientes to nod and agree to join Sporting Gijón, and Benita, the general manager who has always been 'slamming the door', after communicating with Leon, recognized that the value of Morientes analyzed by Leon is negotiable, even if it is six or seven million, which means that Morientes may join the team, she specifically said that if Leon can get the transfer for no more than seven million, then, on the issue of Morientes's salary, she will ask Mr. Chairman to come up with additional funds to supplement.

Obviously, Benita also sees the impact of Morientes joining the team, although Morientes's transfer fee and salary will become a big burden, but the addition of such a leading star can maximize the influence of Sporting Gijón.

It is almost impossible for a promoted polo team to get such a leading star. And now, it's a great opportunity.

Benita gave a force at the critical moment, Hierro also successfully persuaded Morientes, and Leon also knew that Real Madrid did start to consider cleaning Morientes at this time after Owen joined the team.

Real Madrid directly rejected Gijón's possibility of negotiating a transfer.

Leon, who did not give up, sent a fax again, and was rejected again, saying that Morientes would not transfer to Gijón.

Such a reply is not a normal rejection speech.

Then, Leon asked Banderas to find out the news, and finally figured out what happened, Real Madrid coach Queiroz agreed to let Morientes go to Sporting Gijon, but after the transfer was reported to President Florentino, Mr. President personally issued an order not to agree to Morientes' transfer to Sporting Gijon.

Florentino spoke, and the deal was no longer possible.

***********

Li Ang, who learned the news, was furious, and in his opinion, Florentino was a petty family and a 'personal vendetta in the communiqué'.

Previously, when Sporting Gijón and Real Madrid met in the Copa del Rey final, Leon strongly criticized Real Madrid's 'Zidane + Pavon' policy before the game, pointing the finger at Real Madrid President Florentino, and then led the team to defeat Real Madrid in the final, snatching the last possible championship trophy from Real Madrid last season, making Real Madrid's four major last season empty.

Obviously, at this moment, Leon is very unhappy, and he is not without conspiracy theories that this is the revenge of Real Madrid president Florentino against himself and Sporting Gijón.

Leaving aside whether that Mr. Florentino was really so petty, but this was the first time that Leon had tasted the bitter fruit of a big mouth.

Seeing that the coveted and imminent Morientes was so close at hand, but he couldn't sign it, Leon was extremely angry.

Leon then spoke on the phone with Special and Morientes, expressing regret that they could not work together.

There is no news about this transfer that did not take place, and the media has no way of knowing.

It wasn't until more than a decade later that Morientes, who had retired from the military, revealed the incident in his autobiography and expressed his original thoughts.

“…… When the news came that I had been banned from moving to Gijón, I was upset, but I seemed relieved, and it was then that I realized that I might not really have made up my mind to go to Gijón...... I also want to prove myself at Real Madrid...... However, in this call with Coach Leon, I could feel that he valued me, this is a person who understands me, he knows how to use me on the field, and he understands how I felt at that time, we expressed our regret that we couldn't work together, I can feel that Coach Leon regrets from the bottom of my heart, and what about me...... But I suddenly really had a little regret that I might have missed something......" - "The Autobiography of Fernando Morientes"

Morientes' transfer fell through, and Leon had to look at other players.

Leon's goal is not those eighteen or nineteen-year-old little guys, he hopes to bring in a striker who is in his playing year, just like Di Natale he brought in before, so that the two striker partners are the most reassuring, is the basic configuration of the forward line in his heart, and only when this condition is met, he will consider the young.

It's the year of playing, but the transfer fee is not high, the requirements are not low, to be exact, the requirements are very high.

This time, Leon once again set his sights on his 'old friend' Palermo.

He made another offer for Palermo's Italian striker Lucatoni.

Leon had asked to buy Lucatoni before, but that time his real target was Grosso, and Lucatoni was just a front, and this time, he came for real.

This time, however, Palermo turned down Sporting Gijon's offer, as always.

Because of Grosso's transfer, Leon and Palermo President Zamparini also know each other, this time, he called directly to communicate with Zamparini, and the attitude of Mr. Palermo Chairman is also relatively clear, Lucatoni is not for sale, Palermo needs Lucatoni to be relegated in Serie A in the new season.

Leon saw Zamparini's resolute attitude and knew that Lucatoni's transfer was not going to work.

In desperation, Leon also had to admire Zamparini's vision and luck, he knew that Palermo in 2004/ The performance of the 2005 season is quite good, this Serie A promotion team is not just a relegation success, they ended up in sixth place in Serie A, the biggest dark horse in Serie A that season, and Lucatoni scored 20 goals in the league, but also shocked the Serie A football world, the late Italian high school striker, it was in this season that he became famous, and then that summer, Lucatoni officially transferred to Fiorentina for 10 million euros.

***********

After a frustration in his bid for Lucatoni from Palermo, Leon did not stop at all, and he bravely charged towards the next target.

For Leon, he must complete the team's recruitment as soon as possible and prepare for the new season with a full squad as soon as possible. The team's forward combination is the top priority and must be determined as soon as possible.

Di Natale also lacks a reliable partner. (To be continued.) )
