Chapter 38: Twists and Turns
After finishing the reporter's Q&A, Chen Lin and Deng Jia walked into the banquet hall to celebrate the official start of the reception. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After briefly summarizing the club's achievements last year, Chen Lin thanked the players and club staff for their efforts, and solemnly introduced Dunga's joining.
Then Chen Lin glanced at the audience with his eyes, and his expression faded slightly: "I know that there are many people in the team who have opinions about the club's handling of Gianni Kaida, and feel that the club is too ruthless. But there is an old Chinese saying, 'There is no circle without rules', which means that without discipline, system and law, then this human world cannot exist. Put it on the team, that is, the team's discipline is above all else, the player's transfer transaction is the right of the club given by law, any transaction must be reached by the club first, the player can negotiate with the new club, if you want to blackmail the club in private, or even threaten to strike the training and boycott, in vain to help outsiders lower the club's offer, it can only be said that he made a mistake, the club will never compromise on this kind of behavior, I don't care about the hundreds of thousands of pounds. ”
Hearing Chen Lin's domineering and wanton words, the banquet hall was completely quiet for a while. Chen Lin was very satisfied with the effect he made, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "But ...... The club will not completely ignore your wishes, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet, if there is a big club looking for you, as long as it complies with the normal procedures, the other party's offer is worthy of your strength, I will never stop your future. You can remember, this is a promise of mine! ”
As he spoke, Chen Lin took out a fax from his pocket and looked at Pexoto with a calm face: "Today, the club received an inquiry from the Juventus team about Gianluca, and I have officially replied to them - 1.6 billion lira (about 800,000 pounds). ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz of discussion in the venue. There has been a lot of rumors in the team about Juventus' interest in Pesotho, but I didn't expect it to be confirmed today. And the club's offer is so "low", you know, before Dungar, Pesoto and Vieri, Toldo are the three most recognized in the team, Gianni Keda club all quoted 2 billion lira (about 1 million pounds), and Udinese's latest round of offers also reached 900 million lira (about 450,000 pounds), Pesotho's 1.6 billion lira (about 800,000 pounds) offer is really not high, not to mention that the other party is the wealthy Juventus club. At best, Gianni Keida is a potential star, while Pexoto is already plug-and-play. For these, the players naturally have a shot in their hearts.
At this time, Chen Lin walked in front of Pesoto: "Zhan Luca, thank you for your unremitting efforts and contributions to the team in the past year, in my heart, you are far more than this, you will definitely become a first-class star in the future, but it's a pity that Prato can't keep you, come back if you have time, after all, there are teammates who have fought with you, and there are fans who always love you, I wish you a good future!" “
Pesoto's eyes, which had always been introverted, were also a little moist: "Thank you, boss, I have good memories in Prato, and I will remember everything here." “
Chen Lin patted Pesoto on the shoulder, didn't say anything more, he suddenly felt a little sad, after all, he personally brought them to the Prato Club, and then watched them become famous and dominate on the court. No matter what kind of considerations, Chen Lin believes that Pesoto's feelings at this moment are sincere, and he suddenly hates Prato again that he is so weak, if Prato is now in Serie A, the opponent will at least not be so easy to poach.
Then the reception went into free entertainment, with some players and staff inviting their female companions to dance, and those who didn't dance gathered in twos and threes to talk.
Chen Lin came to Pittini and Corvesi with a glass of champagne: "How is it, my two captains, have you really decided to retire?" ”
Pitini smiled bitterly: "Boss, you don't have to keep us, with Dunga, we can rest assured." Colvesi nodded.
"No, I'm still going to have to keep you, but this time it's not about keeping you in the team, I want you to come into the club management to help me." Chen Lin showed his purpose. After a chaotic season, Chen Lin realized the limitations of his ability, he is just a Chinese worker who has gone to **** luck, has no good family background, has never gone to college, has never run any company, and does not have any connections in the football circle, relying on the advantage of foresight. But Chen Lin doesn't look down on himself, he is still young, he can learn everything, and he still has a lot of room for growth. But before he can do that, he needs more people to help.
"We?" Pitini looked at Chen Lin in surprise: "I'm just a repairman, what can I do?" Corvesi also ran a grocery store, which was their main business before Chen Lin came to Prato.
"What's the matter, before I bought Prato, I was just working in a bar. Fall, you're only 35 years old, Mark is only 36 years old, maybe as players you are already a veteran, but as a manager of the club, you still have a lot of time, you can go and learn everything, no one is born with everything. I value your affection for the team more than anything else, and you are looking forward to his development. These are Chen Lin's sincere words, he likes to read those historical biographies when he reads, in which he realized a truth, for those emperors, the loyalty of the courtiers is far more important than the ability, if the courtiers are not loyal, then the greater the ability, the greater the harm, so they always put the honest and upright ministers in a high position, and let the courtiers who appear shrewd and capable to succumb to the subordinates.
Chen Lin's words had a big impact on Pitini and Corvesi, and they were silent for a while, after all, this is what will determine the rest of their lives. Chen Lin patted the two of them on the shoulder: "Think about it seriously, I really hope that you will help me develop and grow Prato together, rush to the second and first grades, and let the whole world know about it." ”
Although the two of them did not immediately agree, their eyes changed, and Pitini's face and neck were even more flushed.
The next day, the effect of the celebratory reception came out. After showing their strong skills (preferring to scrap rather than sell Gianni Qaida) and super strength (signing Dunga), the club showed a silent and warm side, giving the green light for Pesoto to join Juventus, and letting the two veteran captains who announced their retirement join the club's management, so that the players can feel the human side of the club. As a result, the process of contract renewal has been greatly accelerated, and major players such as Toldo and Materazzi have signed new contracts.
The Serie A and Serie B clubs, which were originally eyeing Prato's high-quality young players, saw Prato's strong financial resources and such a tough attitude, and after contacting Prato privately without success, they all died down, after all, before the Boseman Act was enacted, the club's binding force on young players was still very large.
Juventus also tried to further lower the offer through Pesoto, but was decisively rejected by Pesotho, although he yearns for a high-level league, but the team has done its duty, he does not want to leave the original club, poked in the backbone by the fans, and the value of the player also represents status, the higher the transfer value, the more the team will not easily abandon the player.
In fact, Juventus can't afford to pay for hundreds of thousands of pounds, but the strange thing is that Prato's side is happy to offer, but Juventus's side is suddenly hesitant.
