Chapter 344: Zambrotta

Quaresma's transfer talks were crisp, with Millwall making an offer to Porto for a fee of €15.5 million.

The price was too much for Porto to refuse.

Porto has done a lot of 'big buys', such as Ricardo Carvalho's 19.85 million pounds, Deco's 20 million euros, Paulo Ferreira's 17.6 million euros, but not every club is like Chelsea, Barcelona is a 'local tycoon', more teams even have to fight for 100,000 pounds for a long time, 15.5 million euros is also a very big deal.

When Porto learned that Millwall was almost impossible to raise their offer, they simply agreed.

Porto is also a giant, it seems a little incredible for the giants to sell outstanding players, but European football is like this, the small league is the soil that delivers nutrients to the big league, and Porto can't escape this fate, they sell players not only to survive, but also to make more money, and the purpose of cultivating players is to be able to sell them for a large price one day.

That's the rule.

It may sound cruel, but that's the way it is in professional football, and Porto can't keep their top players, who don't have enough income levels to support the club to pay top stars.

So the latter can only choose to leave.

Porto's request was only for Millwall to convince Quaresma to agree, and Quaresma himself agreed, and the transfer would have been simple.

However, there were still problems in the transfer process, that is, Quaresma's agent Mendes, and there is a saying in football circles, "Don't offend the big agents, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable." ”

That's just the way it is.

Mendes is the most heavyweight agent in European football, and he has a large number of influential figures in football, such as Mourinho, C-Ronaldo, Deco, Ferreira and so on.

Many, much more.

Quaresma is also one of them.

Millwall and Mendes negotiated Quaresma's new contract, during which I don't know what happened, in short, Wilkinson began to hate the Portuguese, and called Zhang Yang to complain, "Why are you looking for Mendes' players!" ”

Zhang Yang listened helplessly for a while, and comforted Wilkinson with words, "Anyway, Quaresma belongs to us." ”

"It's over."

Zhang Yang doesn't know exactly what happened, but it is definitely not good to contact with big-name agents in Europe, especially Millwall is a small club, and it must be a passive side.

It's different if you change clubs, for example, Real Madrid, Real Madrid won't care about Mendes or Mendes, they have enough transfer funds, and they can only accompany Mendes with a smile.

After all, it's still money!

————

On June 21, the official websites of Millwall and Porto announced the transfer of Quaresma at the same time, and 15.5 million euros is definitely a big deal, which has made many media focus away from the World Cup and move the vigorous transfer market again.

The media has received mixed reviews of Quaresma's joining.

'Quaresma is Porto's main winger, he's dribbling, he's fast, he's accurate and he's been consistent. He's one of those players who feeds the pitch forward, and Millwall made a good deal and the addition of Quaresma was a great addition to the goalscoring prowess. ”

That's a good review.

Of course, there are also not-so-good reviews, and most of the tones are full of concern, "Quaresma? He did well in Porto, but his defeat in Barcelona must not be forgotten. ”

'It seems that this player can only do well in the Portuguese league, and in other leagues it will happen 'not adapting' and we want him to be successful, but Millwall also need to be prepared for 'the rapid depreciation of the players they buy'."

Millwall fans are optimistic.

Most Millwall fans don't even talk about Quaresma, they think it's all about flamboyance.

As long as you are in the team, what does it matter if a player performs well or not?

In addition, Zhang Yang's vision is also very good, the players introduced last season have quite stable and excellent performances, Quaresma is a big star, no matter how bad he is, he will not be much better than the players who can't play and are forced to leave.

This is critical.

So Millwall has strengthened its strength, as long as it can strengthen its strength, who cares if the transfer is a loss? That's something for the club to think about.

————

"That's something the club should think about!"

Zhang Yang thought so too.

The club provided him with enough transfer funds, as long as he bought the outstanding players he wanted within the scope of the funds, and as for the negotiations, it was completely left to the club, so that he would not focus on work that had nothing to do with him.

Player salary?

In spite of.

What are the details of the player's contract?

It has nothing to do with him.

Signing fee?

No amount of more will give him a dime.

In the past, when the club was 'poor', Zhang Yang occasionally cared about it, but now he doesn't care at all, what 'salary system' and the like have nothing to do with him, he only cares about the players staying in the team or the players he wants come to the team.

It's the results that matter.

During Quaresma's transfer, Zhang Yang stayed in Munich, occasionally going around the periphery, and when he was in the mood, he would also go to watch a football game.

He is also waiting.

In recent times, Zhang Yang has met with Camoranesi and Zambrotta, but the Italian team is very busy preparing for the game, and the two sides just nod their heads, as if strangers met to say hello.

Zhang Yang is very patient.

Camoranesi said that Zambrotta wanted to go to the Premier League, but there was no news so far, and he was also curious about the progress, but he still resisted sending a message to ask.

If the other party says so, you should choose to believe it.

Whether Zambrotta is interested or not, there will be definite news, it is only a matter of time.

Three days later.

Zhang Yang was in the hotel room and received a message from Camoranesi, saying that he was about to come up with Zambrotta.

“OK!”

He finally arrived.

————

Zambrotta's heart is conflicted.

In fact, Zambrotta doesn't want to leave Juventus, but there is chaos within the club, and the news is saying that Juventus will be punished and fall into the second division, he is twenty-nine years old, almost entering the age of thirty, and his peak is not long left, but he does not want to suffer a season in the second division.

So Zambrotta decided to leave.

Zambrotta, unlike Camoranesi, is not the kind of person who rests with the status quo, but has a plan for his life: to make a career as a footballer and then become a football coach after retiring.

This is Zambrotta's career plan.

In order to become a football coach, it is definitely not possible to stay at Juventus, he needs to see a lot of things, get out of the perspective of Serie A, and get in touch with more football-related things.

La Liga, is an option.

Barcelona openly said they wanted him, contacted his agent, and made an offer to Juventus.

Zambrotta was also impressed.

But in reality, Barcelona is not the perfect place to go, Zambrotta knows this, and once he arrives at Barcelona, he will not be a key player.

It's not about strength, it's about style and background.

Spanish teams prefer players from their home countries, Portugal or South America, with few Italian players being able to succeed in Spain.

Here's the background.

The style is related to integrating into the team, Barcelona's football, unlike traditional Italian football, defenders are also an important part of the tactical system, in La Liga giants Barcelona, this is more obvious, choosing to transfer to Barcelona, he must spend a lot of time to adapt to the team's tactical system, whether he can adapt is not easy to say, no one is sure of this.

The Premier League is a good option.

The Premier League is the number one league in Europe and has completely surpassed Serie A.

The tough football in the Premier League is very similar to Italy's tradition of focusing on defence, so Zambrotta would prefer to go to the Premier League, knowing that he will be easy to adapt to, but ...... Millwall?

Last season's league title, the attraction was not very great.

In contrast, Zambrotta prefers Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, or ...... Chelsea?

When Camoranesi talked to Zambrotta, he wanted to refuse at first, but Camoranesi's talk about flamboyance still made Zambrotta a little moved.

A successful coach at the age of twenty-three!

How incredible!

How did this young Chinese succeed in Millwall?

Zambrotta was very curious and very curious, he suddenly found that going to Millwall is also a good choice, first of all, Millwall's results are good, although it is not clear whether it can be continued, but next season will certainly not be too bad.

There must be something to learn from that young man, otherwise a twenty-three-year-old Chinese would not be able to succeed in the professional coaching industry.

Zambrotta is very sure of this, even if he is now retired as a coach, he knows that he is not qualified to be a manager, let alone the Premier League, Serie A and other top leagues, and even the third and fourth divisions, he is not competent.

Succeed?

In the field of professional coaching, he has not even started yet, and it is too far to think about success.

So Zambrotta came.

Zambrotta came with curiosity, and when he met Zhang Yang, he only shook hands politely, showing great distancing, because it was difficult for him to see the characteristics of success in the young man in front of him.

"How did he succeed?" Zambrotta didn't know.

Fifteen minutes later, Zambrotta still hadn't figured out exactly how the other had succeeded, but instead changed his opinion of Millwall and his own hesitation.

"Millwall, a team full of energy and will be very good in the future!"

"Zhang Yang, a talented football coach!"

"I, Gianluca Zambrotta, should choose to join in and succeed with Millwall and coach Zhang Yang!"
