Chapter 437: For Whom is Maldini Staying?
Chapter 437: For Whom Maldini Stays (Page 1/1)
Drawing with Juventus from Turin back to Milan, three things happened to Milanello.
First of all, Berlusconi announced that he would no longer be president of AC Milan. In fact, this is only a nominal matter, Mr. Pei is just not the chairman, and he does not want Milan, he is still the big boss of AC Milan, and he also has the undoubted supreme dictatorship in the entire club.
In fact, as the prime minister of Italy, Berlusconi is also the president of the football club, which is very criticized by the public and does not comply with Italian law. Lao Bei has always done his own thing before, playing side ball, just this chairman resigned and resigned, and he admitted it and resigned several times.
In AC Milan's administrative structure, Galliani, vice president and CEO, is in charge of the overall situation, and sporting director Brajda is in charge of the specific work. They are responsible for the elders upwards and manage many functional departments downwards. In fact, there are not many things that need to be done by Mr. Bei himself, many of them are added to his own drama, pointing fingers and intervening, such as arranging the starting lineup, such as ordering Zhuo Yang to play as a striker last year.
However, Berlusconi, who is 72 years old and has to worry about the country and manage his vast business empire, AC Milan is the least profitable enclave for him from a purely economic point of view. Although this enclave brought him great fame, it was also a forced choice to gradually fade out of the specific affairs of the club, after all, age is not forgiving.
.
Paolo Maldini announced a one-year contract extension after the season.
The horse team is over forty years old, and this is another story of old age. Since the age of 36, Maldini has planned to retire at the end of the season every year, but he has renewed his contract every year, but this year is different, he was originally determined to retire.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, especially since the beginning of this season, Maldini has had great ups and downs in his competitive state, and when it is good, it is still the highest mountain in the world, and when it is bad, it has immediately become the biggest weakness in the Milan backline. And there is no pattern to this alternation of good and bad, and the signs of aging are very obvious.
At the beginning of the season, Maldini felt the secret pressure from the club's upper echelons, which made him even more determined to quit. The retention of fans and media, the dissuasion of his teammates, and even the persuasion of the Round Table Knights have not made him change his mind, and he has repeatedly revealed the idea of retiring at the end of the season on different occasions, giving everyone enough vaccination.
However, all of a sudden, the team changed their minds and publicly announced their decision to renew their contract. In this way, the Milan management will not be able to renew his contract. It is only because of one person - Barbara Berlusconi.
Prime Minister Ben will gradually fade out of AC Milan's day-to-day affairs for the next few years, but he is unlikely to let go of this area completely, and he also faces the question of a successor. Originally, Lao Bei had long planned to hand over AC Milan to his favorite youngest daughter Barbara in the future, but politicians and businessmen are always used to playing with power and interests, even with their own families, and whoever is the successor must obey his own emperor.
Not only did he give Barbara general role in the club's commercial department, but not long ago, just before he announced that he was stepping down as president of Milan, he arranged for his eldest son, Pierre Berlusconi, to join the club's athletic department to participate in transfer and contract work. This move is very intriguing.
Pierre is much older than Barbara, and neither of them is a mother. Pierre is 45 years old, who has lived in Spain in the early years because of disputes with the mafia, and has only returned to Italy in recent years to gradually participate in family affairs.
Lao Bei actually doesn't like his eldest son very much, and the child support for his mother is nearly 40 million every year. But breaking bones and connecting tendons, after all, it is his own son, and nominally the eldest son of the Pei family, he is always closer than outsiders.
Because of the half-relationship, behind Pierre is actually her eldest sister, the eldest daughter Marina, who is quite important to Lao Bei, this is a real powerful character, she controls the lifeblood of Pei's Group's real estate. Barbara, on the other hand, is closer to her siblings, a sister and a brother, but they are not well represented within the Pei Group due to their age.
Those in power do not want the people below to be monolithic, there are struggles and constraints, Galliani and Braida are the two mountains in Milan, and this is also the intention of Mr. Bei to let Pierre and Barbara enter Milanello successively.
Sooner or later, he will have to fade out of AC Milan, and at the moment, it seems that although Barbara is more likely to succeed, Pierre's threat to him cannot be ignored, as Galliani supports Pierre and his sister Marina, while sporting director Braida supports Barbara.
The Commerce Department is Galliani's domain, but Barbara, who is supported by Braida, speaks inside; The athletic department is Braida's enclosure, but Pierre, who is supported by Galliani, has made a splash. Look at Prime Minister Pei's power tricks, tsk!
It stands to reason that newcomers should see more and talk less, Barbara is dedicated to attracting investment, and never criticizes Milanello's internal affairs, and Xiao Nizi is very measured. But Pierre was different, and within a few days of his arrival, he began to express his views on the transfer of Milan.
"There's no doubt about Ronaldinho's quality, but with Zoyang, Kaka and Pato, I don't think Milan still need to bring in Ronaldinho, we need centre-forwards like Drogba and Amaury."
"If it were me, from a fan's point of view, I wouldn't bring in Ronaldinho because he's not the guy AC Milan needs the most and shouldn't spend too much money on one player, and with that money, it's probably better to bring in multiple good players."
It is very inappropriate for Pierre to say this, because AC Milan have been chasing Ronaldinho for two years, and this season Ronaldo has fallen out of favor at Barcelona, which is the perfect time to buy the dip, Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan are all in full force to compete for Ronaldo.
Xiao Luo is only 28 years old, and he still has potential to be tapped in competition, and in any case, Xiao Luo is still one of the most commercially valuable players at the moment. From Lao Bei to Jia Bald to Mr. Bu, he has been showing his love for two years, from Rosson Neri to the Brazilian Gang, all of them are looking forward to it.
Pierre's special status, after he said this, it is bound to cause a great obstacle for Xiao Luo to join Milan, and will offend many people up and down. Is he a fool? Apparently not, the surname Berlusconi is full of human spirits. So his words obviously have his intentions, and while he makes his own voice, he is also testing his father's bottom line. Interestingly, his father pretended not to hear, which is knowledgeable.
In this way, Barbara felt a great deal of pressure, and she was no longer the 'chosen one' when it came to succession. Barbara then approached Maldini.
