Chapter 720: Leonardo Exposed
"Zhuo Yang, I won't be the head coach of Milan next season."
Carlo Ancelotti's words immediately stunned Zhuo Yang. "Carllo, this ......"
"That's the case, I'm ...... club," An Pang told Zhuo Yang slowly about what happened. Carlo Ancelotti's contract with AC Milan expires on May 2009, the 31st of this month, and the original renewal negotiations began at the beginning of the season.
The biggest disagreement in the negotiations was not the number of years and salary, but Ancelotti's demand for more tactical and personnel authority, such as a superstar like Ronaldo, who can bring huge commercial benefits, and Ancelotti has the right to decide whether he plays or what position to play based on his form.
During his eight years in charge at Milan, Carlo Ancelotti suffered greatly from interference, and on many occasions he had to follow the tactical dictates of Silvio Berlusconi or Galliani, arranging personnel and formations according to their requirements. If he wins, some people will say that it is the wisdom of the leader, and if he loses, it is all Ancelotti's fault.
Taking the 06-07 season as an example, Ancelotti believes from his professional point of view that the newcomer Zhuo Yang is not suitable to play in the winger position, because the Serie A defensive model is very new to him, and Zhuo Yang needs a while to adapt. If Zhuo Yang is placed in the back of the midfield, allowing him to temporarily avoid the hard and difficult Serie A defenders and chain zone defense system, it will be more conducive to Zhuo Yang to score more goals, and it will also be conducive to Zhuo Yang's early adaptation to Serie A.
But Berlusconi didn't listen to him, he bought Zhuo Yang to build momentum, and he thought that only by putting the Bundesliga killer on the front line could the momentum be maximized. But after a season, Carlo Ancelotti proved right, with Takyang scoring just 13 goals in the league and losing too many cards to count. AC Milan ended up dropping outside the top four that season, missing out on the 07-08 Champions Cup, and the poor results had a lot to do with it.
But no one thinks it's Berlusconi's fault, Zhuo Yang, who is worth 78 million, has not been used, it can only be Ancelotti's fault. And it's not just this one, something like that has almost always accompanied his eight years in Milan.
Now that AC Milan has achieved great results, and Ancelotti has many suitors, Ancelotti does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and then let himself suffer from that grievance, and it has become inevitable to improve his authority and authority in competition.
But Lao Bei's finger-pointing is a glorious tradition of AC Milan, so there is no end to the skin on both sides. When Barbara was there, she said that she tried to compromise the demands of both parties as much as possible, but after Pierre took over, she didn't talk about this with An Fat at all, and she didn't even pay a penny. In this way, it is strange that Ancelotti can accept it.
Pierre is actually communicating a personal vendetta, he is jealous of Ancelotti's previous public support for Barbara as the successor of the club, and he also hates Maldini and Zhuoyang, these three people are the three banners of Milanello's support for Barbara. Maldini was about to retire, and Pierre managed to get revenge on him before retiring. Zhuo Yang is the pillar of the team, and Pierre's hatred can only be held in his heart, if he can't get along with Zhuo Yang, he can't get along with money, and if he can't get along with money, he can't get along with himself, at least now.
But Carlo Ancelotti is not the pillar, in AC Milan's football philosophy, the manager is not too important, and there are too many good coaches in Italy, and they can grab a lot at any time. Not just Pierre, but almost everyone at the top level believes that it was AC Milan who made Ancelotti happen, not the other way around. Milan can make you Ancelotti, you can make Cellotti the pig and Cellotti the dog. They all overlooked the fact that Carlo Ancelotti had already been a Juventus coach before he came to Milan. Perhaps they did not ignore it, but thought that it was Juventus and Parma who made Ancelotti what it was.
Therefore, Pierre's real intention is to get Ancelotti out of the way, which is a symbolic change for him to take control of the club. And not all players are in favor of Anfat staying, Ronaldinho and Seedorf have different ideas in their minds, and perhaps Ambrosini. Ancelotti told him this vaguely in a conversation with Zhuo Yang.
Xiao Luo has an opinion about An Fat, Zhuo Yang knows, but one person, one temper, one ditch, one ditch, he can't interfere with Xiao Luo's thoughts. Ronaldinho believes that non-stop play is the best option for a player of his kind to stay in shape and prolong his professional life, rather than training, but Carlo Ancelotti is very important to his performance in training and the data given by the Milan laboratory. Xiao Luo is now a substitute under An Fat, which is contrary to his original intention of moving to Milan.
Seedorf's dissatisfaction is also due to becoming a substitute, he does not think that the arrival of Zhuo Yang is the biggest reason for this phenomenon, because the facts show that Seedorf and Zhuo Yang can coexist well on the court, and he also likes to partner with Zhuo Yang on the field very much. Seedorf believes Carlo Ancelotti has not handled the sharing of chances fairly in the game.
The combination of various factors made the differences between the two sides irreconcilable, and Ancelotti was very angry that Pierre treated his old brother Maldini coldly, so he categorically terminated the contract renewal negotiations, and made it clear that he would leave after the last month of his contract.
.
Zhuo Yang was speechless for a long time, and the change of coach caught him off guard. Although Zhuo Yang's position in the dressing room and on the pitch will not be affected by whoever takes over as Milan coach next season, he is still not used to a change of coach. At this time, Zhuo Yang had not realized that the club had not asked for his opinion at all on such a major matter.
"That'...... Do you know who will be the manager? ”
"As far as I know, it should be Leonardo."
Zhuo Yang suddenly realized that Leonardo, who was very low-key on the surface, was finally going to come to the forefront.
The 40-year-old Brazilian Leonardo Nascimondo de Alayo is a decorated veteran of the Brazilian national team, having travelled to many places including AC Milan during his career, and has been a central midfielder in the post-Milan dynasty. After returning to Milan in the summer of 2003, Leonardo retired here after a year of returning to Milan, and then moved into the club's athletic department, where he was responsible for scouting in South America.
Including Kaka, Pato and earlier Cafu, Serginho and others, all Brazilian players have Leonardo in the process of transferring to AC Milan, and he is a hero of Milan. He had a very close relationship with Galliani, and it was at the behest of Gabald that Leonardo formed and clarified the Milan Brazilian Gang to counter and counteract the strength of the Knights of the Round Table within the team.
But now the Milan Brazilian Gang has become an international gang in the hands of Zhuo Yang, and they are in cahoots with the Knights of the Round Table, making the team almost monolithic, which Leonardo did not expect at all.
In the view of Galliani and Leonardo, the essence of management is to weigh and balance, to raze and control, with differentiation can the management do their best, and they can do everything they can to save a lot of things. Just like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty liked to launch eunuchs to fight ministers, these things are all conspiracy.
Leonardo is a literate and intelligent man, he took the time to get his coaching certificate a few years ago, and he also coached the Milan youth team on an interim basis, and the results are not bad. Now that Pierre is in operation, Leonardo is making a comeback. Ancelotti felt his wings stiffen and no longer listened to the greetings, and the Milan hierarchy did not want to get used to his problems, so with the support of Pierre and Garbald, Leonardo stepped forward to pick up the heavy burden.
As for whether his coaching ability and shallow coaching experience can support the handsome mark of the giants, didn't Pierre say: if you can achieve Ancelotti, you can achieve Cherottti.
So, of course, it can also be achieved Leonardo.
