Chapter 370: A Conversation with Moratti

By the time Dick arrived at the point, Moratti had been waiting for about ten minutes.

The agreed location was in a very remote coffee shop on a side road in Milan, and this place was chosen because this coffee shop was a small property owned by Moratti and was kept secret enough.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Moratti, it took some time to get rid of the journalists." Dick smiled and said to Moratti.

Moratti laughed, the famous second ancestor and loser of European football looked very kind on his face, Dick knew that he was not a good chairman, but he did not deny that to a large extent, Moratti is a good person, which is why many people are happy to deal with him.

"I understand...... After all, it's not a good thing for us to meet privately and let too many people know...... By the way, what would you like to drink? I still have a little bit of a good coffee to treasure here. ”

"It's too late, I don't want coffee, just give me a glass of mineral water." Dick waved his hand, then sat down in front of Moratti.

"Well, I haven't congratulated you on your victory today." After the waiter brought them what they wanted, Moratti said with a smile.

"Good luck today." Dick took a sip of water and said nonchalantly.

"That's right...... I'm not going to beat around the bush. Moratti said in a deep voice: "Mr. Dick, yesterday my team lost in the Champions League and the situation in the league is not good, so ...... I would like to invite you to coach my team. ”

Dick twirled his glass: "Mr. Moratti, I'm the manager of Borussia Dortmund now...... Well, I'm not going to beat around the bush anymore, but I'll tell you that this season I have to be successful at Borussia Dortmund, because if I win the league again this season, I will get close to 40 million euros. ”

"What?" Even if Moratti is famous in European football for his spending, it would be shocking to hear this figure - Dick can get so much money at Dortmund? Where did Dortmund get so much money for him?

Originally, Moratti wanted to tell Dick with the wealth - no matter how much you take in Dortmund, I will give you twice as much - but now after hearing this, even he was frightened......

"Well, that's right, I have an agreement with Borussia Dortmund that if I win the league title, I will share half of the proceeds from the transfer market...... This summer, Dortmund made more than 80 million in the transfer market. ”

"I see." Moratti breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly figured out this truth, this is not to say that you can get it by selling players at will, you have to win the league championship to get this bonus, which is also Dick's own ability.

'That's true, so this season, I have to finish at Borussia Dortmund.' Dick was very honest and said: "I need money, I need a lot of money, so I will not let go of this income." In that case, I won't be able to coach your team in the winter. ”

"If you can't do it in winter...... And what about summer? I also know that it will not be easy to maintain such profits for a long time. Moratti seized on the loophole.

"Well, I'll probably only be at Dortmund for one season, but summer is still far away......," Dick laughed.

"With your current reputation, even if it's far away, there will be a lot of clubs who want you to coach." Moratti shook his head: "Maybe I can't afford to pay that much, but I'll give you a contract that exceeds that of any other manager." ”

"Is it okay to talk about it then?" Dick said helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dick, but you know that the preparation of a season begins very early...... If we can't be sure that you're going to coach our club, we'll have to prepare to bring in another manager...... Because it's about the team's idea and a series of things, we hope to be able to settle it as soon as possible. Moratti was also sincere: "If you agree to coach my team in the summer, we will be able to determine what to do next. ”

Speaking of this, Moratti sighed: "I've been waiting for a long time and don't want to wait too long......"

"Salary or something can be discussed, but what I need to be sure of is how much power I have." Dick thought for a moment and then asked: "You must know that in Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, the whole team is in charge of me, even the chairman cannot interfere in my transfer, I must ensure this, because this is the key to my ability to win the championship, build the team with my thinking, so that it can work." ”

"I already know that." Moratti nodded: "In Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, you have absolute power over the team, which is why you have won so many titles...... I can give you that power, as long as I can bring a championship, I can agree to any request. ”

Speaking of this, Moratti smiled bitterly: "For the championship, I was able to let Ronaldo go and chose Cooper...... It's a pity that he let me down, Di, I'm sure you won't let me down, you're a guy who can win the championship! ”

"I was able to win the championship." Dick nodded: "Mr. Moratti, if you can really agree that I have such power and put this in my contract, then I agree to choose to coach Inter Milan in the summer." ”

I didn't expect Dick to agree to his invitation so happily, which made Moratti surprised: "Really? ”

"Of course, what I say always counts." Dick nodded, "But we don't have much time now, we can discuss the details of the contract next...... But I'll have to wait until I go back to Dortmund and explain it to the management of Dortmund, and I'm afraid the details of other aspects need to be better discussed. ”

"Dortmund? Will they agree to you leaving? Moratti asked.

"This summer they told me that if they wanted to leave, they wouldn't stand in the way." Dick laughed, "They promised, besides, I told them in advance that I was leaving, and they were able to prepare someone to take me in advance, didn't they?" ”

Moratti nodded, this is very important, prepare in advance, and you will naturally be able to prepare better.

"Also, my character, I want to talk to you in advance, we can get to know each other better." Dick was quick to add.

"You say." Moratti continued to nod his head, and he also wanted to hear how Dick and the previous management worked together.

"I want to know in advance how much I can offer in the summer because it will allow me to prepare better. I need to prepare in advance for who to sell and who to buy, others can't interfere, and I'm also responsible for the reinforcements, the club only needs to pay for it...... Everything about the team, listen to me, including the infrastructure and things like that, and if I don't have enough money, I can save money on the transfer fee. In short, I can do everything, but I have to do everything! ”

Dick's words can be described as quite arbitrary, which made Moratti, who is used to meddling in the club, a little unaccustomed, and he said with some hesitation: "Are you in charge of any player sold?" You know, we have a lot of meritorious players in our team......"

"Mr. Moratti, you can't win the championship just by being a meritorious player...... I know you've always loved your players, but I don't want a player to cry to you when I don't use him and you'll let me use him...... In that case, I wouldn't be able to do my job. ”

Hearing Dick say this, Moratti's face flushed slightly, he does this kind of thing often, in the club, his godson is not small......

If it was at the beginning, Moratti may not have such concessions, but since he took over the team in 95, eight years have passed, he has not won a league title, and spending so much money has no effect, which also makes him have to start to examine his own behavior, in history, after a month or two, he resigned as president of Inter Milan and went into seclusion behind the scenes, allowing Fachetti to manage the affairs of the club, it is for this consideration and scrutiny, in fact, it is precisely because of Facchetti's stable and rational approach, It laid an excellent foundation for Inter Milan, so that the rise of Inter Milan after the phone door laid an extremely solid foundation!

What's more, and he's running out of money now, his brother is annoyed with what he's been investing in for years and won't let him spend the family's money anymore, so Moratti has to be more rational, and in the next few years, Inter's big investments began to decrease, but the results began to improve, and it has to be said that a sane president will help the club even more.

"Well, I agree with your request, these are all things that can be written into the contract." Moratti finally nodded, he just wanted the championship now, not the UEFA Cup, but the league title! Champions Cup Champions!

"But there's something I have to tell you about...... Moratti said to Dick: "We've already talked to Lazio's Stankovic, he's going to join Inter Milan in the winter, doesn't that count as our involvement?" ”

Dick laughed, "Of course not...... Mr. Moratti, I'm not a tyrant...... I also like Stankovic as a player, but if I really want to coach Inter Milan in the summer, other reinforcements will have to be stopped, such as Adriano, don't take him back in the winter, let him play in Parma for another half a year, if I coach Inter Milan, this young man will be an important candidate for me. ”

Moratti nodded: "I see, it's just an idea of ours, just stop it now." ”

"If that's the case, then you don't have to rush to change the manager...... Let Mr. Cooper finish the season, although he didn't win any titles, but it also gave Inter Milan a rare chance to be stable for a few years, and I hope to be able to accept a team that is a little more consistent, rather than a team that has been changed in a row and has caused people to fluctuate. ”

"Now that you've been confirmed, of course there won't be any other head coaches." Moratti laughed, then held out his hand to Dick: "I hope we can have a good cooperation in the future." ”

Dick also shook Moratti's hand: "It's a pleasure to work with, and after La Liga and the Bundesliga, I hope to be able to create some results in Italy...... With a team with a long history like Inter Milan, it is a huge challenge to create a new situation! I hope I can surpass Mr. Herrera, and I hope you can achieve the same achievements as your father! ”

Moratti had a good smile, which was his personal goal, so he invested in Inter Milan without hesitation, and many things that had happened before had disappointed him, but now, he felt that he had seen the light! Because Dick agreed to coach his team!
