Chapter 5: The Departing Veterans (Part 2)
The fans didn't have to wait long, and just a few days later, the news of Brescia's agreement with Milan was revealed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoMilan bid fifteen million to bring Zhang Shu from Brescia to San Siro.
Milan is still quite kind to the younger brother who has already expressed his submission to him, and fifteen million euros is a huge investment for a young man who has only played half a season. And this is a one-time payment, real money, not in three instalments, as for Lazio.
This result was beyond anyone's expectations, unlike those big dramas in the transfer period, Zhang Shu's transfer was like going through the motions, there were no peaks and loops, no ups and downs, it was as plain as boiled water, and everything fell into place.
The Brescia fans silently wished their blessings, the Chinese fans rejoiced, and only the reporters who reported the transfer news felt a little boring - there were no twists and turns in such a transfer, and the bargaining time between the two sides was only a few days.
But it can only be like this, at least, Zhang Shu's future is stable, which is a good thing for Zhang Shu and Chinese football. Chinese journalists consoled themselves in this way.
When the two clubs reached an agreement, according to the regulations, the Milan club could go to talk to Zhang Shu about personal treatment. Of course, not many clubs actually follow this rule, and most of the time, as long as it is not too blatant, everyone turns a blind eye to the club's early contact with players.
In everyone's hearts, judging from the news that broke out in the "Milan Sports Newspaper", I am afraid that Zhang Shu and the Milan club have already reached an agreement.
After completing Zhang's transfer, Brescia received two more pieces of bad news, and a few days later, Pep Guardiola's second urine test proved his innocence. But Pep Guardiola is not happy at all, he knows the mystery of the whole thing. He couldn't be happier about the club's exchange of Zhang Shu for his innocence.
What's more, after Zhang Shu's transfer, where did he go to find such a good tactical test product as Zhang. If it weren't for the purpose of experimenting with his tactical ideas, just simply playing football, he didn't have much passion left in his heart.
Frustrated, Pep Guardiola called Mazzoni and said, "Carlo, I'm grateful for the help the club has given me, so I'm going to finish the season and when it's over, I think it's time for me to retire." ā
Mazzoni didn't hold back too much, he knew that this incident had made Pep Guardiola so disappointed in Italian football, who would want to play in a league that could be wronged at any time? If you are trembling and afraid at any time, and you don't know when you will be charged with taking banned drugs, it will be too sad to continue such a career.
It wasn't long before Baggio called Mazzoni as well. "Carlo, this season I should be able to achieve the goal of 200 goals in Serie A, and I will rest at the end of the season."
This is the agreement between Baggio and Mazzoni before, although Baggio has stopped mentioning retirement since Zhang Shu's arrival, he hopes to cultivate a qualified core for the team before leaving, but now Zhang Shu's transfer has made Baggio lose the reason to continue.
As of last season, Baggio had scored 198 Serie A goals, and his goal of 200 goals this season couldn't be easier, so when the season is over, Baggio will definitely retire.
Mazzoni sighed as he hung up the phone. Zhang is gone, and Baggio and Pep Guardiola will retire at the end of next season. For a while, the old man even retreated.
That's it, how many small teams, once brilliant then fall apart, this is a normal thing. Mazzoni shook his head, and let this last season go smoothly.
The end of next season will be reckless, and for now, Mazzoni still has to think hard about strengthening Brescia's squad for next season. So much so that when he saw Zhang Shu in the club, he was stunned.
"Uh, Daddy, what's that expression on your face?" Zhang Shu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Mazzoni's eyes. "Dad, you won't forget what you said you wanted me to practice on vacation, right?"
"Oh, oh. Zhang, it's rare that you still remember this incident. Mazzoni suddenly realized, and he spread his hands. I'm sorry, but I've been completely overwhelmed by your transfer lately, and I've completely forgotten about it. However, you're going to Milan next season, so your pre-season training time won't be taken up by tactical training, and your physical training can be done in Milan. ā
"But Dad, you promised me something, and it's okay to change the hexagram temporarily... Zhang Shu tilted his head and said, it seemed that he was still a little dissatisfied with not being able to practice.
"Hahaha, Zhang, don't worry, the training facilities and physical trainers in Milan are much better than ours." Mazzoni said with a smile, he thought that Zhang Shu was worried about the effect of training, after all, after arriving in Milan, he would change to a new physical coach and training environment, and it is normal for young players to have some such doubts.
"Now you can enjoy your holiday in peace and work hard when you arrive in Milan, even though you are not my player anymore, as long as you keep working hard like you did today, I am sure you will succeed." Mazzoni encouraged him.
It's not the 80s anymore, whether it's a coach or a player, the time spent in a team is getting shorter and shorter, so Mazzoni has already thought about it, no player can follow him for a lifetime, for Zhang Shu's departure, although he is a little reluctant, but still hopes that his future will be more brilliant.
Zhang Shu shook his head, it seemed that it was not easy to get his training plan from Mazzoni. He looked left and right, as if he was afraid to be seen.
The club was empty, there was no one.
Then he ran into Mazzoni's ear and whispered a word.
Mazzoni's eyes lit up instantly, but then the expression on his face was replaced by suspicion. "Zhang, are you serious?" He asked solemnly.
"Uh-huh~" Zhang Shu nodded proudly, with a smug expression on his face as if to say, "Praise me, praise me."
"Zhang, you... Let me say what you ... Mazzoni seemed a little angry and a little proud, and after a long time, he said to Zhang seriously, "Whether you succeed or not in the end, you have this heart, I have to say thank you on behalf of the team." ā
"If it doesn't work, forget it, I don't have anything to lose anyway." Zhang Shu waved his hand disappreciatively, "Dad, why are you thanking me, I'm just happy for myself, I don't bother to care about other things, that's it." ā
"Alright, Dad, I see you haven't prepared my training plan, I'll come back tomorrow." He smiled slyly at Mazzoni, turned around and ran away, "You can play for another day~~~It's so fun~~~"
Looking at Zhang Shu's back as he ran away, Mazoni couldn't help but smile and shake his head, but he didn't expect that Zhang's childishness would not make him angry.
He turned and walked back into the room, eager to share the good news with the Chair. (To be continued.) )
