When Chen Lin saw him at Maradona's home in the United States, this once high-spirited and invincible football king seemed to have aged a lot overnight, but there was still a trace of unwillingness and unruliness in his eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He and his wife Claudia sat side by side on the sofa, and did not get up to greet Chen Lin's arrival, Chen Lin didn't care about this, he was never a person who was obsessed with small things.

After introducing himself, Chen Lin directly explained his intentions.

However, Maradona seemed completely indifferent, and his wife Claudia said: "What is the ability of a second division club to help Diego make a comeback, others will only humiliate him even more when they receive such news, thinking that he has fallen to the point of joining such a small club." ”

Chen Lin's face was a little gloomy when he heard Claudia's words, and whoever was pointed at his nose and said derogatory words would also have this reaction: "Although Prato is only a Serie B club, we have already qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup next season, and I don't need to say much about the status of the three major European cups, which is an event that the whole world is watching." ”

As he spoke, Chen Lin paused and looked at Maradona: "Mr. Maradona, you also know that the impact of this incident is extremely bad, and now fans all over the world have doubts about the honor you have achieved, and only by proving yourself in such a world-renowned event, proving that you are also the unrivaled world champion without relying on doping and drug prohibition, can your reputation be restored." ”

This time Maradona's eyes finally moved, in fact, Chen Lin has been talking in Italian, and for the old horse who has lived in Naples for many years, he can understand it without a translator at all, but he has never taken Chen Lin in his eyes.

In the end, after some persuasion, Chen Lin said to Maradona: "You may look down on a small club like Prato, but now who is willing to help you except us?" ”

This sentence seemed to prick Maradona's nerves, making him finally sit up straight against the sofa, his eyes squinting at Chen Lin. And his wife Claudia said to Chen Lin a little angrily: "We will consider this matter, now you can invite it back." ”

Chen Lin nodded and got up to say goodbye. Although he did not communicate with Maradona, he said everything that should be said, and now Maradona and his wife are obviously in a bad mood, and it is useless to talk more, everything depends on their choice.

Chen Lin hit a wall here with Maradona, but on the other hand, things went well with Effenberg. Florence, as in history, meant "falling into the ground" for Effenberg.

Cech. Gori has long been displeased with Effenberg, who has been against him many times, and wants to sell him, but Fiorentina was unexpectedly relegated to the second division last season, and it is in need of a strong player like Effenberg to help the team return to the first division, so he has always tolerated him. This season, Fiorentina finally returned to the first division as the first in the second division, and Effenberg had such bad luck again. Gaoli took the opportunity to clear him.

Because it was an active sale, Fiorentina's offer was very cheap, as long as 6 billion lira (about 3 million pounds), and it was also at this price that Fiorentina was relegated and forced to sell Laudrup Jr., you know, due to the Danish team's unexpected victory in the European Championship in 1992, the fame of the Laudrup brothers was even greater than that of Effenberg at this time.

Of course, this price is by no means high, Prato, a Pexoto who is not famous at this time, has been sold for 2 million pounds, and Effenberg is a German international and the core of the midfield, this price is almost equivalent to the price of cabbage, normal situation, with Effenberg's ability and fame, there are absolutely no six or seven million pounds, and this is before the player's value has generally not risen. You know, the 26-year-old Effenberg is in the prime of his career, and his ability value of CA/PA: 181/184 is even better than that of the previous Prato team's top star Dunga (CA/PA: 180/182). Since Baggio's £800 move to Juventus, the player's value has risen all the way, with Pampa £10 million, Vialli £12 million and Lentini £13 million......

So to be able to pocket Effenberg at such a price, Prato undoubtedly took advantage of it. However, even £3 million is a lot of money for Prato's finances, but fortunately Fiorentina accepted the instalment payment, with Prato only having to pay £1 million in the first installment, and the rest of the transfer fee to be paid off over three years, of course, interest will definitely be charged.

As for Effenberg's own wishes, for him, who was already "embattled", Prato was willing to take him in at this time, and he was even a little grateful. Due to the expulsion of the German national team, he was reluctant to return to Germany as a last resort, and in this World Cup, as the defending champion of the German team, was defeated by Bulgaria in the quarterfinals.

He could have stayed in Florence, but he didn't expect Chess. Gouri stabbed him in his most difficult moments. So if in addition to the German Football Association, who he hates second, it is undoubtedly the Fiorentina club. Fiorentina was unfortunately relegated last season, and even Italian players couldn't wait to try to leave, it was he and Batistuta who stayed to bring Fiorentina back to the first division from the abyss of the second division, but he didn't expect that when he needed help the most, Fiorentina would do such an ungrateful and downhill thing, which made the "tiger" how not to complain and hate? So when Prato offered him an olive branch, he didn't hesitate to say yes. Effenberg is a man of temperament, he can not care about many things, such as the league level, such as annual salary, otherwise he would not have stayed in the relegated Fiorentina, but he also cares a lot, such as happiness and revenge, he wants to be in a club like Prato that is almost the same derby team as Fiorentina, proving how wrong Fiorentina's choice is today.

Eventually, when the World Cup was in full swing, German midfielder Effenberg successfully transferred to Prato FC. As for his status as a foreign aid, Chen Lin was ignorant before. On November 1 last year, the European Union was formally established, and Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg became founding members, and according to the Maastricht Treaty they signed, citizens of EU member states can apply for citizenship of each other after working and living in each other's countries for more than two years (this period was later pushed to more than three years due to the gradual increase in member states, especially in Eastern European countries). Effenberg, who has been in Fiorentina for two seasons, just meets the conditions, and because he was abandoned by the German national team at this time, he has no resistance to applying for Italian citizenship, so Effenberg will not occupy Prato's foreign aid quota in the new season.

After getting Effenberg, Chen Lin's confidence has increased greatly and his horizons have broadened a lot, and doing such a thing will be addictive. At this time, he set his sights on another famous future star in the World Cup, after all, there are a lot of unlucky stars in this World Cup......
