Turin, Italy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is the third largest city in Italy, one of the major industrial centers, the capital of the Piedmont region, the motor city of Italy, the largest automobile venue in Europe, and an ancient city with a long history.

Turin is home to a large number of Baroque buildings and classicism, is considered a paradise for chocolate production, is home to the best university in Italy, the Polytechnic University of Turin, and is famous for its Alps. It is said that the Alpine toffee produced by the Italian family is based on its English brand "Love in the Alps".

The words Alps mean a lot of things, not just mountains and toffee, but also a team, a stadium. This team is Juventus, and this stadium is the Stadio Alpes (also known as the Estadio del Alp).

As the Alpine Stadium is currently being renovated, it is scheduled to be completed in September this year. There are reports that the new stadium may be renamed "Juventus Arena" or "New Alpine Stadium", but in any case, the stadium is remodeled on the Alpine Stadium.

Juventus is a Serie A giant, winning the most Serie A titles in Italy and winning the European Cup three times. However, after the 2006 phonegate incident, Juventus suffered the most serious punishment and were relegated by the Italian Football Federation, and although the Bianconeri returned to the first division a year later, they were already seriously damaged and suppressed by the Milan duo, so they could not raise their heads.

But in the past two years, Juventus can't even score in the top six, can't play in the Champions League, and winning the crown has become empty talk. The club has watched Inter Milan dominate Serie A for five years, and this year AC Milan is about to replace Inter Milan in Serie A, as one of the traditional top three, Milan has left Juventus behind.

A season is about to pass, Juventus's record is still not improving compared to last year, if this continues, I am afraid that the Bianconeri will follow in the footsteps of the Torino team that year, leaving only the "red bull" for people to mourn.

Revival is Juventus's primary goal! In today's utilitarian football, if you want to revive, you have to buy people!

But Juventus can't play in the Champions League next season, and they can't afford sky-high transfer fees and huge wages, so it will be even more difficult to buy a superstar. But the club's top management is not stupid, superstars can't buy it, new stars can always buy it!

At 32 Via Ferraris in Turin, which is the headquarters of Juventus FC, Marotta and Paratici are sitting in their office at the moment, and the two seem to be discussing something.

The match between Parma and Juventus was shown on TV, and it was injury time and the score was 2-1, with Parma leading at home.

The countdown to the game had begun, and Marotta turned off the TV when the whistle blew at the end of the game, not wanting to see Parma's players celebrating the victory, let alone seeing the Juventus players look downcast.

After losing this game, Juventus said goodbye to next season's European competition, which is also the second consecutive year that the Bianconeri have missed Europe.

Jupese Betty Marotta is Juventus' general manager and chief executive, and he is not happy with the team's performance. His right-hand man, Paratici, sat very quietly beside him.

Marotta shook her head silently and said, "What the hell, what the hell did that guy do?"

Paratici knows who he means by "that guy", and there is no one else but coach Luigi Del Neri.

"Well, don't be angry, you know very well what the team has been doing this season. Paratici had a slight smile on his face.

Marotta asked: "Do you think it is not a surprise that we lost to Parma?"

"If it was six or seven years ago, I would have been shocked, but now I don't feel that way at all. ”

"When Luigi first took office, he vowed to challenge for the championship, but now? It's not a big improvement compared to last year! I'm going to fire him!" Marotta slammed on the table, and it seemed that his anger had not dissipated by Paratici's reassurance.

Paratici is still smiling: "The team is not doing well, the coach is only one of the factors, and the other is not unrelated to the players. ”

Marotta glanced at him and said, "I know what you're trying to say. ”

"Last time I also recommended those two Chinese players to you, you watched their game footage, today is the first time to watch their game in its entirety, how about it?

Marotta finally smiled, "Determined? You seem to have read my inner thoughts before this?"

Paratici didn't shy away from the question, saying, "From your expression last time, I can tell that you still appreciate the two of them, but you are still a little hesitant. I don't know if it's because they're too young, or because China is too backward in football to give more trust?"

"No, it's not. ”

"That's?"

Marotta smiled and said: "It is said that China is an ancient civilization, with a history of thousands of years, and a population of 1.3 billion, such a big country still has so many people, I don't think it's strange to be able to occasionally emerge one or two football talents, on the contrary, I think it's normal." I've never been superstitious about nationality, I only think about strength, isn't there a Weah in Liberia?"

Paratici nodded, and Marotta added: "I have always used people without suspicion, and suspects without suspicion, just like you, I believe in you, and I will use you." The reason why I have not made a final decision is because I need to make more references. ”

"What about now? What do you think?"

Marotta sighed: "Honestly, they were better than I expected, at least that's how I felt from this game. Although it was Crespo who was the one who came to the rescue, it was ******** talent who dominated the game. ”

Paratici laughed, "Your vision is still so precise. ”

Marotta smiled and stood up, pouring red wine into the goblet on the table in front of her, and a small glass for Paratici. Paratici thanked: "Thank you. ”

Marotta picked up the goblet, but he didn't bother to pour the wine into his stomach, he shook it gently, and the red wine in the glass also gently rippled. Perhaps it was because of Paratici's praise for him, and at this time he seemed to fall into a kind of memory.

Marotta joined Juventus in May 2010 as the team's general manager and CEO. He made his debut at Valese, then Monza, Como, Ravenna, Venezia and Atalanta, then Sampdoria for seven years, and in 2004 he was appointed general manager of Sampdoria, bringing in Cassano for the team, followed by Quagliarella, Doni and Pazzini, all of which were hugely successful at the time.

Today, Marotta has a very good team, with top scouts and legal advisers, and it is much easier to dig out players, and Paratici is the most representative of the team. Marotta admired him so much that it was for him that he brought him with him when he moved from Sampdoria to Juventus.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Vieri, the former No. 1 Italian center forward, was discovered by Marotta, but few people know about it.

Paratici took a sip of red wine and asked, "You should have decided by now, right?"

Marotta smiled: "To be honest, I have deliberately asked the agent of the two of them, an Italian Chinese named Feng Kai! But I only met Mr. Feng, and I have not yet negotiated with the Parma Club." ”

Paratici was a little surprised: "When?"

"It was after you showed me a video of them. It just so happens that he also has videos of ******** players, and I think you don't even have these game footage. ”

"What kind of competition?"

Mr. Feng collected it himself, I took it back and watched it several times, and handed it over to the technical department, and we all thought that those two Chinese teenagers were very good. ”

"I see what you mean. Do you need to say hello to Mr. President?"

"Yes, transfers need money, and you can't buy anyone without money. ”

"As for money, I will inform you truthfully, Mr. President. ”

"Very good, do this step, your task is completed, and the rest of the things, it's time for me to do the rest. In addition to talking to Parma about the two Chinese players, he also had to go to Milan and talk to Garnia about Andrea. ”

"Andrea?" Paratici was taken aback again at the name.

Marotta said, "Don't be surprised, I think you can guess who I'm talking about 'Andrea'." He is the brains of AC Milan's midfield, Andrea Pirlo. ”

Paratici asked: "He was raised by AC Milan, one of the flags of Milan, and you actually ......"

'I already know everything, Andrea refused to sign Milan because he was unhappy with the new contract offered by AC Milan and Allegri didn't like him very much, which gave us a chance. ”

"He's a championship-caliber player, do you think he's going to be here?"

"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Marotta took a sip of red wine and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I may be busy in a while, and I can't get out of it, so there is one thing that you need to do." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Note a Chilean midfielder named Arturo Vidal, who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen. He's going to be in the Copa America this summer, so keep an eye on him. ”

Paratici nodded, "No problem, is there anyone else?"

"Just him for now. There are still a few people who are considering whether they need to buy or not, and they will have to see how the funds flow. In this year's summer transfer market, the first thing I consider is these four guys. All but Pirlo, who is a little older, are still young, and as long as they can come, Juventus' revival is just around the corner. ”

*****************

Parma are 100 per cent sure that they will stay in the first division, and the club's official website praises Colomba, saying that he has been ordered to lead the team in a good way, and has made a great contribution to the team's stay in Serie A. Colomba modestly said that it is because there are several very good players in the team that can keep the team in Serie A next season.

Everyone knows who Colomba is talking about as a "good player".

There is only one final round of the league and there is nothing to pursue for Parma in this round, which is somewhat similar to last season. Colomba was in a good mood and took a day off for the team, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu also went to Milan for a day.

Unbeknownst to the two of them, their names have been quietly linked to a club with a bigger name.

In fact, in the past month, there have been two or three small and medium-sized teams that have also confessed their interest in these two people, but it is only interest, and the words spoken by these clubs are like a gust of wind, and it is a breeze that does not hurt, and it is gone, and it has not caused any waves.

This is mainly due to the lack of attention from the small clubs and the lack of attention from the media. In addition, the average small club is not very attractive to the two, since it is not a big-name club, it can't offer higher wages, and it doesn't get any honor, so it's better to stay in Parma.

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu trained with the team as usual in the following days, joking with their teammates and listening to how they spent the holiday, and everything seemed to be calm. At the end of the season, the transfer rumours heard in the next few days had nothing to do with the two of them, they were just preparing for the last league game, and when they were done, they could go back home.

Until Thursday, Feng Kai, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly gave the two of them a phone call!
