Chapter 33: The Situation Is Better Than People?
A year ago, Chen Lin was still a toiling person struggling on the poverty line, and this year he has basically devoted all his work, rest, and entertainment time to the cause he planned, so some of his ideas have not changed much compared to the same year ago. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info that is to say, he is still a layman!
Seeing so many future emperor superstars being cultivated by themselves, especially the kind of progress that can be seen through intuitive data, the sense of accomplishment is simply indescribable.
However, a piece of news that came one after another completely broke Chen Lin's good mood. In the office, Ella, assistant to the chairman, handed Chen Lin a fax that the Serie A team Udinese had made an offer to Prato, hoping to bring in the young defender of the Prato team, Giuliano. Gianni Keda, with an offer of 600 million lira (about £300,000).
"Not for sale!" Chen Lin threw the fax into the wastebasket without thinking about it. Giannikeda's role for Prato is self-evident, it is because of his protection, not yet fully adapted to Italian football, physical confrontation is still lacking, Veron can be like a fish in water in midfield, his tireless running and defending, almost covering the entire backline, is the most reliable insurance in front of the Prato backline. And Chen Lin knows that in the next ten years, the two positions that the whole world lacks the most are left wingbacks and good defensive backs. Look at the young players in Italy now, the more outstanding good backs are a Di Biagio and an Albertini, and they are both organizational backs that are stronger in attack than defense, like Gianni Keda, the next one will have to wait until Gattuso, who was born in 78, comes out of the mountain. And how important a reliable defensive midfielder is, you can see how much Real Madrid regretted losing Makelele.
However, it can be seen from this news that Prato's group of young lads who have performed well have attracted the prying eyes of high-level teams. To be honest, due to tactical problems, in addition to Yang Chen, who won the Golden Boot award, Prato's most eye-catching performance this season is Pesoto at left-back and Gianni Keda at the back. Pexoto benefited from Tsoko's special arrangement in the left midfield position, which made him free of worries and completely showed the advantages of sharp assists, while Gianni Keida completely covered up his shortcomings because of the presence of Veron, so that he could concentrate on the sweeping work in the midfield, giving full play to his physical strength and excellent defense, without thinking about those passing and organizing tasks that he was not good at.
In the two fierce battles with Inter, Pesoto was named the best of the match with a pass and a shot at Bisencchio, while Gianni Keda kept Inter Milan clean sheet for 92 minutes in Meazza, "The entire Inter midfielder was knocked on his back!" That's what Roma Sport said about him after the game, and he ran almost twice as far as fellow midfielder Bertie in that game, "He's everywhere, it feels like Prato is playing Inter 11 with 12 men!" Sport also praised Gianni Keda after the game.
Although Gianni Keda may not have the strength to play in Serie A now, don't forget that he was born in 1974 and is only 19 years old, and this is what the Udinese team likes to do. David. Pizarro, Vincenzo. Yaquinta, Subi. Montari, Marek. Jankulovsky, Marko. Motta, Andrea. Dosena ...... There are countless stars who have walked out of Udinese.
However, Chen Lin's stern refusal did not let the matter end, and two days later, Udinese made another offer of 800 million lira (about 400,000 pounds). This price is even twice as high as Prato's purchase of Vieri, but Vieri is voluntarily given up by Torino, while Giannicheda is actively bought by the Udinese team, and the supply and demand relationship is different, and the price is naturally different.
But Chen Lin still disdainfully refused, he checked after the last offer, and in the past, Udinese did buy Gianney Keda, and Gianni Keda was sold by Udinese after just a few seasons in the Udinese team, with a transfer price of 7.5 million euros (equivalent to 6.6 million pounds). Even if Gianni Keda is still young now, being young means infinite potential, which is like a gambling stone, maybe it will be nothing, but it can also be priceless. And although this will not be the time when the value of players exploded later, the value of Italian local players is still very strong. So Chen Lin was completely dismissive of the Udinese team's behavior of wanting to pick up cheap, but at this time he didn't know how calculating his opponent was.
In July 1986, he took over the Udinese club. Pozzo, like Silvio Berlusconi, is the longest-serving president in Serie A history.
In 1990, the elder Pozo was accused of fraud because he had a private phone call with the president of Lazio before the game, and the sports court sentenced him to five and a half years of prohibition from entering the football world again. Pozzo's head, while he remotely controls the club like Old Bey.
At this time, he received a call from the manager of the Udinese Players Department, Femeni, at his home: "I'm sorry, boss, Prato has once again rejected our offer. ”
Old Pozo's expression did not change, and he still slowly pruned his flower garden: "Since someone is unwilling to accept my kindness, let that Chinese really understand Italian football, young people should go through some wind and rain to understand what awe is." ”
"Yes, boss, I see." Femeni replied in a low voice.
Two days later, Gianni Keda's father and his agent approached Prato and made a formal transfer request to the club, hoping to move to another club next season.
This made Chen Lin's heart suddenly cold, although UEFA stipulates that in player transfer transactions, an agreement must be reached through the club first, and players are not allowed to contact privately, but this rule is obviously useless, and countless big teams are poached by reaching agreements with players privately. Apparently Udinese have been in contact with Gianni Keda's family.
"Paulo, didn't Giuliano have a great time in Prato? We have always attached great importance to him, he is our core, with Giuliano's strength, training for a few years, it is not difficult to play in Serie A, and now to other teams, especially Serie A teams, he may not be able to play the main team, his age, is the time to play. "Coach Tsoko is trying hard to keep him.
"I heard that the president of Udinese, Mr. Pozzo, has praised Giuliano in public, saying that he can be the backbone of the team, and I don't want Giuliano to waste his time in the lower leagues, after all, the sporting life of players is very precious." Gianni Luka's father apparently didn't believe what Tsoko said.
Chen Lin could only play the emotional card: "Mr. Gianni Keda, Prato is the first club of Giuliano's career, he became famous here, our goal for next season is to hit the second division, now is the time when he is needed, doesn't he want to leave something for the club before leaving?" That way, even if he retires and comes back here in the future, the fans will still respect him. ”
Old Paul was still expressionless, he shook his head coldly: "Although Prato cultivated him, he also ran tirelessly for the team and contributed all his strength, he is worthy of the club." ”
Later, no matter how hard Chen Lin and Cuoko persuaded and said good things, Jenny Keda's father still didn't enter, but insisted on transferring.
Chen Lin, who was on fire in his heart, dropped a sentence: "The club can agree to his transfer, but if it is less than 2 billion lira (about 1 million pounds), it will not be discussed." ”
Gianni Keda's father left the club with a grim face.
Udinese apparently had no intention of agreeing to Chen Lin's offer, and they raised the price to 900 million lira (about 450,000 pounds) and said that they would not increase the price again, but Chen Linli ignored it. Then Gianni Keda missed the penultimate round of pre-match training in the league, and the reason given by his family was "too much psychological pressure and need to rest".
And on this day, when Chen Lin routinely went to the Ventino training base to observe the players' training, he found that the players' eyes looked at him had some changes, obviously the transfer news of Gianni Keda also caused a certain amount of turmoil among the Prato players, this group of young people in Prato, including several Chinese players, are pretentious, and no one wants to be left by the club when they transfer to the big club in the future
Regarding the changes in the players, Chen Lin was keenly aware that his approach was a little unpopular. At this time, the team's financial statements for the season were also sent to his desk, and now Prato only has 60 million lira (about 30,000 pounds) in cash, in addition to fixed assets, which is all Chen Lin's net worth, and this does not include the hundreds of millions of lira he owes the bank.
At this moment, Chen Lin was finally shaken. Although he is really unwilling, in another year or two, he is sure that Jenny Ketta's worth will rise to more than 2 million pounds, but the situation is stronger than people!
