Chapter 244: Farewell at the end of the season
On May 21, 2011, one day before the final game of Serie A, it was on this day that the official website of Juventus officially announced that Zhang Shujie and Li Mu will transfer to Juventus next season, the transfer date is July 1, 2011, and the contract period is four years, of which Zhang Shujie's transfer fee is 11 million euros, and the annual salary after tax is 2.3 million euros, and Li Mu's transfer fee is 10 million euros, and the annual salary after tax is 2.2 million euros.

In addition to announcing the transfer details of the two, the website also specially welcomed the two to join. Marotta said: "We have been watching Zhang and Li for a long time, they are very good, their style is very suitable for Juventus, they have the potential to become great stars. All in all, they are the players we crave. ”
This news is relatively common in Italy, and there is a lot of transfer news from various teams every summer, not to mention that this team is still Juventus, and it is normal for the Bianconeri to buy two young men. But there are two places that have caused a bombshell because of this transfer.
Due to the time difference, China did not have immediate access to first-hand information, but the local population of Parma soon knew. The transfer of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu came too suddenly, there was no news before, and everyone felt as if they woke up and learned that the two were leaving Parma.
It's easy to say how important these two players are to Parma, and if it weren't for their excellent performances in the second half of the league, there is a question mark over whether Parma would have stayed in the first division.
Chen Hui was calling Zhang Shujie: "You actually joined Juventus......! It's too sudden, isn't it?"
Zhang Shujie took Li Mu's hitchhiker, sat in the co-pilot and answered the phone with a smile: "It is indeed a bit sudden for the outside world, in fact, this transfer has been eyebrow-raising for a long time, but it has only been confirmed in recent days, and it was officially announced to the public today." ”
"It's been going on for a long time, and I don't know it as a professional journalist!"
"It's not surprising that the whole of Italy doesn't know about it. It has always been Uncle Feng who has been negotiating on both sides for us, which can be regarded as a secret. ”
"Being able to move to Juventus has greatly increased your commercial value. The Chinese side may not know yet, so Shen Hao and I have to hurry up to write the report and send it back to China. Come, tell me the details that no one else knows. ”
"Well, that's ......"
After hanging up the phone, Modesto, who was sitting in the back seat, said to the two: "Seriously, I envy you. I haven't played in a big club in my life, and the best team I've played to is Palermo. ”
The two of them laughed, and from Modesto's words, they could hear the loneliness. Modesto is twenty-nine years old, and there is no room for improvement, and it is almost impossible to join the giants again.
If he hadn't had that serious injury eight years ago, maybe he wouldn't be like this now.
The car drove to the training ground, and Zhang Shujie, who was still in the car, found that there were more fans outside the training ground today than usual, and there were many more reporters, probably for the two of them. It's been a long time since anyone has gone from Parma to the big clubs, and the man before the two was Gilardino, who went to AC Milan in 2005.
Chen Hui and Shen Hao were not seen in this group of reporters, they must be busy rushing to catch up with the manuscript. In fact, with their relationship with Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, there is no need to swarm around this place like other reporters.
The two got out of the car, and the reporter immediately gathered around them and put the microphone to their mouths, wanting to ask them what they wanted to do with Juventus. The two of them have no time to give interviews now, and training is about to begin, and they have to hurry to the locker room to change.
"I'm sorry, but I'll let you go. Zhang Shujie refused. In fact, he is still very happy to be able to move to Juventus, because it will improve his competitive level a lot. But at this critical juncture, he couldn't say anything, he couldn't say "I'm excited, I can't wait to wear the Juventus shirt".
The fans are not far away, and if you really say that, it will definitely hurt those innocent fans.
Li Mu didn't express any opinions, but quickly went into the locker room with Zhang Shujie.
Most of his teammates arrived, and after the two came in, almost all eyes stopped on him, and everyone used the situation in the car to announce the transfer of the two to Juventus on the way to the training ground. Most of these eyes are filled with a hint of envy. What professional wouldn't want to go to a bigger club? Even if Juventus is not as good as it used to be, its prestige is still there, and sooner or later it will return to the top. If nothing else, the treatment at Juventus is much better than at Parma.
Crespo walked up to the two with a smile and said, "Congratulations, you can go to Juventus." ”
Zhang Shujie and Li Mu looked at each other and said in unison: "Thank you." ”
Crespo patted them on the shoulder, and there was no envy in his eyes for the other players. He has been on the battlefield for a long time, played for giants such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Chelsea, and experienced countless winds and waves.
He only had blessings for both.
Morrone also walked up and patted them on the shoulder in the same way: "Good luck." ”
Giovinco looked at the two of them with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes. Half of his ownership is in Juventus, he has performed well this season, he thought Juventus would redeem him after the season, but he didn't expect to kill a Li Mu halfway, for the sake of this Chinese striker, Juventus has no intention of recovering Giovinco for the time being.
At this time, head coach Colomba walked in, he looked at the players, and finally his eyes stayed on the faces of Li Mu and Zhang Shujie.
The two felt that they should say something to the manager, although Colomba had not been in charge of them for a long time, and there was no deep mentorship between him and apprentice, but he was the head coach after all, and he was about to leave, and those goodbyes had to be said.
But Colomba sighed and said, "Change your clothes and get ready for training." Then he walked out.
Today, Juventus announced not only the transfer of the two men, but also the dismissal of manager Del Neri, and the replacement is yet to be determined. The Chinese media didn't care too much about this, and on this special day, all the news in football was stolen by Zhang Shujie and Li Mu.
LN University, Shenyang, China.
Zhang Shujie and Li Mu's transfer was announced in the morning of local time in Italy, and it was already afternoon when China learned about this exciting news, after all, it is summer, and there is a seven-hour time difference between China and Italy.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to eat, and there were many students in the cafeteria, and most of the boys gathered in front of the TV. They have already learned about the transfer of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu through the Internet, but they don't mind watching it on TV again. This time also coincides with the broadcast of "Sports News", and the news will definitely broadcast the shocking transfer of the two.
Wang Shihan was also in the cafeteria, looking at TV with both eyes, but the food in front of him was not touched much.
Regarding Zhang Shujie's news in Italy, she will not get tired of watching it ten times or a hundred times.
At half past seven in the morning local time in Italy, two Chinese players from Parma, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, transferred to Juventus for a transfer fee of 11 million euros and 10 million euros respectively, with an annual salary of 2.3 million and 2.2 million respectively. Juventus general manager Marotta claims the club admires the duo very much. This season, Zhang Shujie has scored 16 goals and provided seven assists in 26 appearances for Parma, while Li Mu has scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in 27 appearances. Although Li Mu's goal is not as good as Zhang Shujie's, he is the only player in Parma to score a 'double-double'. The two Chinese teenagers will play for Juventus until the summer of 2015. ”
When the announcer said the news, there was a burst of exclamation in the cafeteria of LN University, but this exclamation was not too unexpected, because many people knew the news, and it was more of a cheer.
In the past, Chinese fans envied Japan, the island nation of Hidetoshi Nakata who was effective in Rome, and now Shinji Kagawa, who played in Borussia Dortmund, but now Chinese fans don't have to envy their neighbors.
Wang Shihan was very calm.
She had already been excited once in the phone call from Zhang Shujie yesterday, and after a night, she slowly calmed down. She never doubted Zhang Shujie's strength, in her heart, Zhang Shujie would be able to join the wealthy sooner or later, but this day came in advance.
Ajay, go to Juventus and work hard, try to score more goals, and I'll watch you in China.
*****************
May 22, the final round of Serie A.
Yesterday, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu received a lot of congratulatory calls, some from their parents and some from friends, including Ma Junqiang and Yan Tao, and An Rong also made a phone call to each of them. Ma Junqiang congratulated the two and did not forget to talk about his situation, saying that he has already completed the labor certification and he may return to Chelsea next season.
If this is the case, then in one summer, there will be three Chinese players who can play in the big clubs.
However, this is also after the end of the season, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu's immediate priority is to play the last league game for Parma.
In this round, Parma challenged Cagliari away, although it was an away game, but many Parma fans went with the team to watch the game. This is not only Parma's last game of the season, but also Zhang Shujie and Li Mu's last game in Parma.
When the league is played at this point, this team has no burden, and winning or losing will not have any effect. But that doesn't mean the two sides will be released, and because there is no baggage, many unavailable substitutes can also appear in this game.
Parma rotated half of the main team, but Zhang Shujie and Li Mu made their debut, and this game was their farewell game, usually as long as the players are not injured or sick, the head coach will let them play for the first time.
This is the home stadium of Cagliari, so after the game starts, there is no sense of farewell match, the players are concentrating on the game, and the fans of Parma are still holding portraits of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu in the stands, without posting any slogans, after all, this is on someone else's field.
The process of the game is also very common, and each player fulfills his or her duty. In the twenty-ninth minute of the first half, Cagliari striker Kosu opened the scoring and the score became 1:0!
Parma's players didn't have much to lose, just restarting after a brief celebration in Cagliari. Bodinov is active and hardworking, and he made a permanent move to Parma last summer, but there was little opportunity to express himself due to Zhang Shujie's presence. After only half an hour of play, he had three shots on goal. He thought that after Zhang Shujie left next season, he would have more opportunities.
In fact, he quite hoped that Zhang Shujie would leave.
It may seem cruel to say, but it's professional football.
Zhang Shujie only had one shot on goal and his performance was decent. Chen Hui and Shen Hao watched him from the stands, hoping that he could score a goal so that he could leave Parma successfully.
Zhang Shujie did not score in the first half, ending with Cagliari leading Parma 1:0, he and Li Mu walked back to the locker room as usual, on the way he also took a special look at the Parma fans in the stands, I don't know if it was the reason for being away, the fans were very quiet, just watched the two walk towards the locker room. But there was something terrible about the silence, like an impending storm.
But Zhang Shujie hoped that they would be quiet like this.
