When Chen Lin saw Montella again, he was doing recovery training on a communal green space on the outskirts of Empoli, and his self-esteem was so strong that he didn't want to bear the stares of his teammates on the team's training ground, he just gritted his teeth and did the tasks assigned by the rehabilitation coach over and over again.

Chen Lin picked up the ball that Montella kicked to the sidelines and threw the ball back violently, Montella saw that it was Chen Lin, couldn't help but be a little stunned, and hurriedly walked over.

Last season, Chen Lin approached Montella and Billindelli privately to get them to put pressure on his club, only to be reluctant to accept Empoli's lion and withdraw the trade request. This undoubtedly made the situation of the two very embarrassing, but fortunately, Chen Lin made some repairs in the relationship through Spalletti, and the two also understood that Empoli didn't want to let them go, so he deliberately quoted such a high price, but the mustard in his heart must exist.

However, more than a year of serious injuries has matured Montella a lot, and he walked to the sidelines with a respectful face: "Sir, why are you here?" ”

Chen Lin smiled slightly: "Vincent, Prato has reached a transfer contract with Empoli, as long as you nod, you will be Prato's person next season." ”

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Montraton was stunned, no club would buy a player when he had just experienced a serious injury, and Prato is no longer a third-division club but has been promoted to the second division. Montella's heart suddenly welled up with a sour feeling, which translated into Chinese probably means "the one who is a confidant dies".

"Why, you don't want to? Do you still mind what I did last season? ”

Montella came back to her senses and hurriedly said: "No, sir, of course I do, I understand what you did last season, business is business, but you are willing to give me a chance at such a time, which is the greatest kindness to me." ”

Chen Lin patted Montella on the shoulder: "Don't say that, Vincent, I'm not a noble person, I'm just more sure than anyone else that you will definitely succeed, work hard......"

Montella nodded vigorously.

After getting out of Billindeli and Montella, Chen Lin finally filled the hole in Prato's backline and brought a reliable replacement to Inzaghi and Vieri. However, Prato's back line, although it is good, still looks a little thin, mainly due to the lack of substitute strength. Chen Lin promoted Li Weifeng and Sun Chenghai to the first team, anyway, the departure of Yang Chen and Fan Zhiyi vacated two foreign aid places. Although the ability value of the two who have just turned 17 years old is less than 110, it is no problem to play as a substitute in the Serie B League, Li Weifeng's spirit of daring to fight and excellent header and marking ability are gradually revealed, and Sun Chenghai has also shown superior strength in the Jianlibao youth team, and can play substitutes for Billindelli and Zanetti, all three of them are players with both left and right feet, as long as there are no injuries to more than two people, they can barely rotate.

In addition, Chen Lin is also eyeing a person, after all, the difference between Li Weifeng and Ayala and Materazzi is still relatively obvious, and the central defender is almost the easiest position in the team to eat cards, once he is banned at a critical time, it will inevitably have a greater impact on the strength of the team. Last season, Fan Zhiyi, Materazzi and Ayala were rotated among the three central defenders with similar strengths, which allowed Prato to achieve such good results in the Coppa Italia. With a crucial event such as the Cup Winners' Cup in Prato this season, a centre-back who is less than the main player must be considered. And Chen Lin had the impression that now was the best time to get that person.

Corvesi quickly found the man Chen Lin was looking for at Monza, who finished 20th in Serie B last season and were relegated to the third division. Many players are trying to find a way to escape from here, and so is the person Chen Lin has a crush on.

The 21-year-old began his career with Salerno south of Napoli. It's just that there seems to be a curse called "Disaster Star" has been following him, in the first season of his career, the Salerno team was relegated from the second division, when he was still young, maybe it was none of his business, a year later, he left Salerno in the third division of the third division to join the Bologna team, but that season Bologna second division ranked third, relegated, so he left Bologna again, joined the same second division Monza team, the result is that everyone knows, that season Monza team ranked at the bottom, Nor did they escape relegation. Three second-division teams, three relegations, and even he feels like fate is playing tricks on him.

However, Chen Lin was extremely lucky, if it weren't for this, with this person's strength, it would have been discovered like a pearl shining in the night. You know, even in Italy, which is rich in excellent defenders, this is rated as one of the top 10 best defenders in Italy in 20 years, and the latest data from the 94/95 season on the computer shows that his CA/PA: 142/174 also proves this. This made Chen Lin feel like he had picked up a treasure!

You must know that because there is no big consortium behind it, the club's finances are all self-reliant, and every bit of it has to be carefully calculated. Therefore, after Prato was promoted to the second division, it became more difficult to select players, first of all, the famous players who can play in the first division will definitely not be willing to come to Prato in the second division; Secondly, like some of the powerful players in the second division who can get the level of Prato and are willing to come, most of them are expensive, most of these players have a certain age, and their potential has been exhausted, and when they stay in Prato for two years, most of them can only be sold at a low price, which is equivalent to wasting the transfer fee in vain, and Chen Lin, who is quite stingy in some aspects, is unwilling.

From Prato's past experience, it can be seen that Chen Lin buys some young and potential players, such players are bought and trained for a few years, even if they don't need it, they can be sold at a high price. But after Prato was promoted to the second division, it is difficult to find young players who are born with a very high level, most of these players are talented players of various clubs, such as Pirlo of Brescia, Piero of Padua, Ambrosini of Cesena, Totti of Lodigiani, etc., these young talents have made their name early, I don't know how many big clubs have been staring at them, just waiting for them to be included in the bag as an adult, so if you want to buy such a talent, unless Prato can afford the sky-high price.

Even Montella belongs to such a genius, but by accident it cheapens Prato. And this is also a disguised foil to the preciousness of the central defenders of Billindelli and Monza, and it is so rare that this kind of player whose true strength is hidden by special reasons can allow Prato to find two.

However, in fact, Chen Lin has not only found two such players, but also found a third in the Verona team, and the characteristics of this player are a useful addition to the Prato midfield.
