Brescia didn't dare to offend Milan, but they weren't willing to sell Zhang Shu to Milan like this. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info so Corioni chose to stall for time, waiting to see if there was a chance for things to turn around.

But what Corioni was waiting for was a notice from the Italian Football Federation's anti-doping tribunal to reopen an investigation into Guardiola's use of banned drugs. They said that the urine left by Pep Guardiola in the previous game against Perugia has been tested again for "nandrolone", and that they will test a second bottle of urine again next week. If the second urine test is still positive, Guardiola will face an even more severe ban.

More than half a month has passed since that match, and because Guardiola had been banned for drug banning, although he insists on his innocence, according to the relevant regulations, the anti-doping tribunal has the right to sample him at any time. If the first test is positive, he will have to stay in Brescia and wait a few days to be questioned in court.

In the face of such humiliation, as a superstar who once had a huge reputation, Guardiola is completely unacceptable.

"If I were to be framed again, I would choose to retire to prove my innocence!" He faced the camera and made an angry statement.

Seeing the news, Mazzoni immediately got in touch with Guardiola. "Pep, you're so impulsive!" He said this over the phone.

"Carlo, you Italy are targeting me! I know better than anyone that I can't eat that kind of thing! I can't accept this kind of false accusation they have made against me! Pep Guardiola gritted his teeth on the phone and said, "I've already had a ban in my career!" Now they want to do it a second time! I'm not going to let them do that! Rather than be kicked out of football for this reason at the end, I'd rather end it myself now! ”

"Pep..." Mazzoni was a little speechless, and he knew that Guardiola was likely to be dragged down by the team this time.

It is unconscionable for someone from the Anti-Doping Tribunal to suddenly go and check a urine sample from a competition more than a month ago.

It may not have been Milan's lead - Brescia's rise has hurt too many teams, and many teams would love to see Brescia's playmaking core fall on a urine jar - but Milan definitely didn't cover Brescia as usual, as evidenced by the fact that Corioni didn't hear the slightest wind beforehand.

Faced with Brescia's delaying policy of not accepting and refusing Zhang's transfer, Galliani came to the knock and Guardiola's second urine test was just a week away, and if Brescia still didn't respond this week, it was foreseeable that they would lose their organizational core. And Pep Guardiola, apart from retiring, his best result is to go to the Middle East or the American league for retirement.

Mazzoni, Corioni, and Athletic Director Maulo Pedesori sat in their offices, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

"Is there room for a turnaround in Pep's matter?" Mazzoni asked impatiently as he watched Corioni put down the phone.

Corioni glanced at Pedsori and sighed, "The people in the anti-doping tribunal said that they would deal with it impartially and would never wronged a player like Pep who has a huge international influence." ”

"'Deal with impartiality'? Hehe... Pedsori shrugged, "What about Milan?" ”

"Milan has a good attitude and in Galliani's words, his personal friendship with me is still strong, but... It's all business. ’。。。 ”

Peddersori looked at Mazzoni, "Carlo, I think you can make a choice, Zhang or Pep, which one do you want?" ”

Mazzoni's eyes widened, "Of course it's Zhang!" Although this is not fair to Pep, Zhang is able to make the future of the club! And Pep may be able to maintain a high level of performance for another year, or two years, but he may also retire at any time, and fools know which one to choose! ”

"But Carlo, you know, picked Zhang, maybe we didn't just lose Pep. Pep is just the beginning, he's important for us, but the team has only signed him for one year and has not yet renewed his contract, so it is not a big loss to lose him. And he's a Spaniard, not an Italian, that's why he's chosen to remind us. Pedsori helped Mazzoni analyze. If we insist on keeping Zhang, Pep will only be the first, and will never be the last. And next year the team will be constrained in all aspects. Are you sure you're ready? ”

Mazzoni opened his mouth, he had been in Serie A for decades and certainly knew the secrets. Not to mention, their ability to beat Milan home and away this year has a lot to do with Milan's deliberate points, while Inter Milan beat them mercilessly over two legs, including a 4-0 massacre.

In the first half of the season, when Zhang Shu had not yet entered the first team, Brescia had a dismal record with injuries and was hovering on the edge of the relegation zone.

Brescia didn't communicate with these teams at all, and there was no need to talk about this kind of game between teams of the same faction, everyone knew it. This kind of tacit ball is commonplace in Serie A, and in a sense, Italian football is the most similar to Chinese football, but their match-fixing is more clever and more hidden.

If Brescia are out of Milan's protection, every team in the middle and lower reaches will be locked with Brescia in the future, and in this case, Mazzoni is not sure if he will be able to lead Brescia to the top six next season.

"Carlo, I know you have high expectations for Zhang, but you should be aware of the reality, develop young players and sell them to the big clubs when they grow up, that's how a small club like ours survives. Zhang is not the first, nor is he the last. Peddersori continued, "Maintaining a good relationship with Milan is fundamental to the team's foothold in Serie A, I don't see why there is any hesitation. ”

"But Zhang is different from them! Zhang can become a superstar! Superstar, you know? It's Robbie, Totti, Maldini and other superstars! And judging from Zhang's current growth rate, he will be worth at least 20 million by this time next year! Mazzoni retorted unwillingly.

Peddersori nodded, and he said a little perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, superstar, that's what you said when Pirlo was transferred. So is there any difference between Zhang and Pirlo? Do you think we can save Zhang until he becomes a superstar before selling? No ball has ever been able to do that. Carlo should be well aware that only the big guys produce superstars. ”

Brescia President Coriooni sat behind his desk, his fingers crossed in front of him. He quietly watched the fierce quarrel between the two important people on the team, and it was a long time before he asked his own question.

"What is Zhang's attitude?"

Pedsori looked at the chairman, his expression a little surprised, "Zhang? We haven't contacted him, and he probably doesn't know yet. Milan have no right to reach him until the team reaches an agreement. ”

"Galliani is not the kind of person who follows the rules." Mazzoni cursed quietly from the side.

Pedsori waved his hand, "I don't think Zhang's attitude matters, what young player can refuse Milan's call?" Zhang is not a big fan of Inter Milan. I think it's better not to let Zhang know about this now, otherwise his agent will have something to do, and maybe he will join forces with Milan to lower the price for us. ”

The last time Pedesori dealt with Tinti, he had a deep understanding of each other's wrists. Linked to the inextricable links between Tindy and Milan, Peddersori does not think the other side will let go of such a good opportunity.

Corioni walked from behind his desk to the window, where the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the chairman's office faced the first-team training ground, which was now empty and lonely.

"Carlo, go ask Zhang's opinion." He said to Mazzoni, then turned his head back to Pedsori, "Mauro, you are better at business negotiations than me, but you are not as good as me when it comes to people." ”

He pointed two fingers to his eyes. "Ask Zhang what he thinks, maybe things will have a chance to turn around."

Zhang Shu sat in the restaurant of the HotelVittoria, looking around curiously. The only 5-star hotel in Brescia, it is located in the heart of the old town, between the Cathedral of Brescia and Piazza del Victory. Although the exterior looks a little old like the rest of the old town, the interior is elegantly decorated and the historic stone Roman columns still exude understated luxury and old-fashioned Italian elegance.

The Park Hotel Canoa, the partner hotel where Brescia stayed at home games, was only four stars, and this was the first time Zhang Shu entered the most luxurious and famous hotel in Brescia.

"Zhang, don't look around, Mr. Galliani is coming." Tingdi sat next to Zhang Shu and reminded in a low voice.

Tinti arrived in Brescia with Galliani at noon, and after settling down a little, Galliani sent an invitation to dinner through him.

"Tinti, why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand?" Zhang Shu turned his head to look at Tingti, "I'm not ready yet." ”

Tindy looked at him with a smile, "What else are you going to prepare, Mr. Galliani is just here to have a meal with you and get to know you, you don't have to worry about other things." Just leave it to us. ”

Before Zhang Shu could answer, a hearty laugh came from his ears, "Zhang! Tinti! Sorry I'm late. A fat bald man walked up to them, and he had a smile on his face, but there was no expression of embarrassment on his face at all.

Tingdi immediately pulled Zhang Shu to his feet, "Hello, Mr. Galliani, we have just arrived. Although they had both come to Brescia from Milan together, it looked like he had just met Galliani. Tyndi smiled and held out his hand, and Galliani shook it with him, then extended his hand to Zhang Shu.

Zhang Shu also stretched out his hand and shook Galliani, the vice president of Milan shook hands very strongly, he spoke in a loud voice, looking energetic and approachable.

"Zhang! Your goal against us impressed our chairman. He was drinking water and was choked so badly that you almost killed the Prime Minister of Italy with a goal. ”

After sitting down, Galliani made a joke, after speaking, he and Tinti laughed, Zhang Shu did not laugh, he didn't know if he didn't get the laughter in Galliani's words, or if Tinti and Galliani's laughter was too low.

Or is this just a polite laugh before they talk about things, in order to show that the guests and hosts on both sides are happy?

In order to show his politeness, Zhang Shu grinned in the end.

At first, the two sides were just chatting, but Galliani and Tinty began to talk about various news in Serie A, many of which surprised Zhang Shu to hear the inside news, and showed Galliani's great power in Italian football. Tinti was used to it, and he had dealt with Galliani quite a few times, and sometimes even just chatting with each other could get a lot of valuable news.

By the time the waiter brought the food to the table, the conversation quickly shifted from Italian football to Italian cuisine.

"Zhang, the season is over, don't you want to have some wine?" Galliani asked enthusiastically.

Zhang Shu hurriedly waved his hand, "No, thank you Mr. Galliani, I don't drink." ”

"It's better not to drink, it's better not to drink for players." Galliani smiled and praised, "It's just a pity, Zhang, you haven't tasted the wine here in Brescia." ”

"Brescia produces the best wines in Italy." Galliani picked up his glass and looked at the red. "The price of such a wine in Milan has increased at least fivefold." He took a sip and commented.

"It's normal that Brescia wines are good, but you won't find enough high-end drinkers here." Tinti said. "So they finish the fermentation here and then ship it to Milan in barrels. They are only as valuable when they are bottled in delicate bottles, labelled with a label indicating the origin and time, and sold to wineries and hotels to tourists from all over the world. ”

Galliani clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right, Tinti, that's it. "In Milan, the wines from Brescia are treasured in the cellar at a constant temperature, whether it's humidity, temperature, transportation, packaging. The top professionals are in charge. And here ... He looked at the low buildings around him with some disgust, and shook the wine glass in his hand. It's a bit of a tyrannical thing. (To be continued.) )
