The meeting with Albertini went well, and even Leon couldn't believe it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He made a big call to former AC Milan to persuade Albertini to join.

Then, just as he shut up and took a sip of water, the elegant Italian man spoke, "It may take me a few days to get over the Italian affair." ”

Leon almost choked on the water, coughed twice, and his eyes widened, "Demi, what do you mean?"

"I said I would like to play in Gijón. Albertini blinked, to be honest, when he saw the young Chinese coach, although he was already mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised, and at the same time very curious and admired, a Chinese in Europe to create such a result, it is not easy, Leon's eloquent talk, around the construction after he joined the team, this made Albertini feel Leon's sincerity, and then a little humor, at this time to see Leon's surprise, he found it very interesting.

Leon was overjoyed, he laughed and said, "Demi, welcome, welcome, I believe that you will not regret today's decision." ”

This meeting can be said to be a very happy meeting, and Li Ang's heart has also unloaded a burden, with such a veteran sitting in the midfield, he is finally a lot more relieved.

Albertini is now a free agent and he has made his own decision to be able to sign.

Neither side was a drag on the road, and the signing was subsequently completed.

Albertini signed a two-year contract with Sporting Gijón for an annual salary of 900,000 euros, and after the contract expired, both parties were free to extend the contract for another year, depending on Albertini's state and personal wishes.

This contract also made Albertini feel the sincerity of Leon and Sporting Gijon, before that, whether it was Atalanta or other clubs who contacted him, they were only willing to sign him once a year, which also made the Milan team vice president who had been wandering for many years extremely lonely.

The two-year contract, as well as the communication with Leon, Albertini really felt that Leon was valued, and the young Chinese coach did rely on him.

"Demi. Leon and Albertini shook hands, "Welcome to Gijón." ”

Albertini smiled, "I'm the same, it's a great honour to join your team. Say hello to Fernando on my behalf, it's a pleasure to play with him. ”

"No problem. Leon said with a smile.

Leon is hot in the chest at this time, very happy, whether it is Hierro or Albertini, can be said to be his previous idol, since he began to like football, it can be said that watching these stars play all the way, and now, the former Real Madrid captain and the former AC Milan vice president have become his players, this huge sense of nostalgia and accomplishment, is indescribable.

***********

Back at the hotel, Leon expressed his gratitude to Hierro, who knew that Hierro had recommended Gijón to Albertini, which played an important role in Albertini's transfer process.

Hierro was also very happy to learn that Albertini had agreed to join Gijón, as the so-called heroes cherish each other, and the two old rivals in the twilight of their careers are fighting together, which is also quite good.

Sporting Gijón will spend about a week or so in Italy, and in addition to the warm-up match against Palermo, they also played a warm-up match against Di Natale's previous parent club Empoli.

In this game, Leon put Albertini on the bench and came on as a substitute in the second half.

The Italian fans in the stands were stunned when they saw Albertini coming off the bench, because there was no previous news that Albertini had chosen to play in Spain, and it was still said that Albertini was close to signing for Atalanta.

In this game, Empoli is a Serie B team, Sporting Gijón is a Spanish promoted horse, and the attention is very small, and there are only a few local media in Empoli and Gijón media in the media booth, but at this moment, the media are shocked.

Albertini actually joined Sporting Gijón?!

Although Albertini is old and has been wandering since leaving AC Milan, as an important member of the previous Milan dynasty, his every move is still very much watched.

The few Italian journalists started to get busy, and soon the news of Albertini joining La Liga promoted Sporting Mahijón began to spread.

The final score was 2-0 and Sporting Gijón claimed their first pre-season win in the warm-up game, with Di Natale picking up a pass from Juan Mata to break through the door for Sporting Gijón and Albertini setting up a header from substitute Macoul Picla.

Compared with the score, Leon pays more attention to the process, although Albertini has just joined the team, and the tacit understanding with the players is not enough, but Leon is keenly observed that the Italian star's dispatch in the midfield, trying to slowly sort out the team's midfield, which is a good sign.

And Albertini's free kick assist also satisfied Leon, you know, Albertini has a free kick kung fu, as a famous free kick master, Albertini's free kick will provide an important means of scoring for Sporting Gijón.

***********

On the afternoon of the same day local time in Spain, the official website of Sporting Gijón Club also officially announced the news that the team signed a two-year contract with former AC Milan superstar Albertini.

The news thrilled Gijón fans, with Albertini's Rossoneri team shocking Europe, and now, the addition of the former AC Milan star is enough to make waves in Spanish football.

"Voice of Gijón" reporter Mitra is excited in his column that Albertini's joining, the biggest shortcoming of the Sporting Gijón midfield has the most powerful supplement, the experience and ability of this Italian veteran, will be the most needed by this young Sporting Gijón, now, the midfield has Albertini, the back line has Hierro, these two famous veterans will inject the most noble experience and confidence into the young Sporting Gijón!

The other Gijón media have also praised the signing, and they have also seen clearly that the young Gijón Sporting needs the experience of veterans, especially after the departure of Mikul Kobas, the midfield needs an absolute core, and Albertini's timely arrival will take on this important role.

Other media outlets in Spain also reported Albertini's arrival.

Of course, it's not all good, "Marca" reporter Philp questioned in his report, thinking that the arrival of Albertini, who is already at the end of his career, will not provide much help to Sporting Gijón, and the weak midfield of Sporting Gijón will continue to plague this promoted polo team, and Philp even asserted that Albertini will leave Gijón in disgrace in less than half a season......

Sporting Gijón returned to Spain after playing a warm-up with Empoli, and the change from when he went to Italy was that there was one more person when he returned, and Albertini also took care of Italy and went to Spain with the team.

At the Madrid airport, Leon picked up a copy of the Marca newspaper and pointed to it with a smile and told it to Albertini.

"Demi, they say you're old. Leon quipped.

When Albertini heard this, he glanced at the newspaper photograph of himself in a red and black shirt.

The elegant Italian man smiled, but didn't say anything.

Leon smiled, his goal was achieved, this Italian veteran was enraged, Albertini is not the kind of character who is angry and scolding, he knows that behind this slight smile is the unwillingness and disobedience of this Italian man in his heart.

***********

After the successful introduction of Albertini in midfield, Leon finally set his sights on the forward line again.

Antonio Di Natale, McGur Pihra, and David Lago, that's all the strikers he says have on hand.

With only three strikers, and Sporting Gijón will need to play in the Copa del Rey, UEFA Cup and La Liga this season, the configuration of three strikers is certainly not enough.

He needs to continue to build up his forward line. (To be continued.) )
