208 True

Xiao Yang put down the coffee cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Really? โ€

De Laurentiis nodded: "I've been paying attention to you since you won the Europa League a few seasons ago, and I know very well what you've done at Gossau and at the same time, I appreciate you very much. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info You are a very capable person who can take a football club with no history to the height of two consecutive Champions League titles in a place like Switzerland, which is not something anyone can do. โ€

Xiao Yang nodded in thanks, but didn't say anything, he knew that De Laurentiis must have something to follow.

De Laurentiis continued: "Lin, although your achievements are remarkable, and the Gossau club is now in the middle of the sky, but your club is now facing a crisis, do you know? โ€

Xiao Yang laughed secretly in his heart, De Laurentiis has you seen "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the pretense of a lobbyist? He probably knew what De Laurentiis was going to say, but he still cooperated and made a look of surprise: "Really? โ€

De Laurentiis said: "Your club has done well in recent seasons and the quality of the team is strong, but do you know what is the biggest weakness? โ€

This time, De Laurentiis did not wait for Xiao Yang to answer and continued: "That is, you have risen too fast and your foundation is unstable, or you can say that your Gosau club has no foundation in European football at all, and in such a situation, your prosperity will not last long." โ€

"There have been cases like you in European football, Nottingham Forest won two consecutive European Champions Leagues like you, but they quickly fell into the clouds, and even relegated to the third tier of England at the worst time.

Speaking of this, De Laurentiis shook his head and sighed, as if he was lamenting the tragic situation at Nottingham Forest, and seemed to be remembering the sinking years of Napoli, and then he continued: "Gossau Club is too popular now, comparable to Barcelona a few seasons ago, but it does not have the same strong foundation as Barcelona, so of course it is easy to be hated. In fact, even Barcelona once caused public outrage. โ€

"As far as I know, Gossau FC has started to be sidelined, as evidenced by your grouping for several seasons in a row, and your game against Borussia Dortmund this season has also been clearly affected, and your refusal to sell key players has made the big teams hate it, and there are already a lot of big clubs planning actions against you."

This news surprised Xiao Yang, of course he could see that De Laurentiis's words were not sensational, his face became solemn, and he asked De Laurentiis: "Did you hear any news?" โ€

De Laurentiis nodded: "I know from reliable sources that several giants are preparing to launch a poaching operation against your club, including all the main players of the Gosau team. โ€

Xiao Yang's heart was relieved: "So this is it?" They've done it a lot in the past few years. โ€

De Laurentiis smiled and said, "Didn't it work out, did it?" But this time it's different. โ€

"What's the difference?" Xiao Yang said.

De Laurentiis smiled mysteriously: "What is the salary of your main player now?" โ€

Xiao Yang said very frankly: "The weekly salary is 35,000 to 50,000 euros. "There is no need to hide this question from De Laurentiis.

De Laurentiis nodded: "You are very frank. This salary level is among the best in the Swiss Super League, and I believe that your players are very loyal to you, and there are titles to be won at Gossau, even if other clubs offer 70,000, 80,000 or even 100,000 euros a week, they will not leave, but if a club offers 200,000 euros a week, will they still not leave? โ€

Xiao Yang's face became more and more solemn, De Laurentiis's words are not an exaggeration, the salary of the core players of the giant club has already reached the level of 150,000 to 200,000 euros, and the weekly salary of some world-class stars has even reached nearly 300,000 euros.

De Laurentiis continued: "I admire you, your vision and ability to develop young players are top-notch, the main players of the Gosau team are among the top players in the world in their respective positions, they are well-deserved core players in any big club, and it is not too much to give them a weekly salary of more than 150,000 euros. Players have agents, these giants have been in contact with their agents, and agents you know what kind of goods they are, they are complete vampires, and even if your players are not tempted, the agents will definitely push them to leave the Gosho team until they leave. โ€

Xiao Yang's brows furrowed, if things are really like what De Laurentiis said, it will be really a bit troublesome, and when the time comes, without his knowledge, if all the main players suddenly collectively attack him and ask for a transfer, it will be really a little unprepared. If the main players go to the light, no matter how strong their ability to train players is, there is also a matter of time, at least in a few years, they will not be able to touch the Champions League again, and the hearts of the people will be scattered, and it is not impossible to follow in the footsteps of Nottingham Forest and Napoli, and I don't know how many years it will take to recover.

Of course, now that I know the news in advance, it will be different, and I can take precautions and take some measures to prevent such a situation from happening. Thinking of this, he sincerely thanked De Laurentiis.

De Laurentiis shook his head with a smile and said: "You don't need to thank me, in fact, the current situation of Napoli is very similar to yours, Napoli has had a momentum of revival in recent years, and it has also caused several giants of Serie A, and we are also facing the pain of poaching." Ravic is gone, Cavani is also eyed by a number of giants, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before he leaves, and the same is true for Hamsik, so I am also worried. โ€

De Laurentiis looked up at Xiao Yang and said: "I think both of our clubs need an ally, then I think an alliance between our two is the best choice." โ€

Xiao Yang looked at De Laurentiis and knew that this was his main topic, he quickly thought about the pros and cons of forming an alliance with Naples in his heart, and then quickly made a decision, he stretched out his right hand to De Laurentiis and said with a smile: "Then we will be friends in the future." โ€

De Laurentiis laughed and shook Xiao Yang's hand: "Then, may we cooperate happily." โ€

Next, the two roughly talked about the future direction of cooperation, the two clubs will carry out all-round cooperation in player training, intelligence sharing, player exchanges and other aspects in the future, De Laurentiis also told Xiao Yang the details of the giants teaming up to deal with the Gosho club, it turned out that more than a dozen clubs in Europe conspired to make an offer to the Gosho club at the same time in the summer transfer period next year to buy the main players of the Gosho team, and they agreed to have their own goals, and did not raise the price of each other. They have already begun to contact the agents of the Gosau players, promising them high salaries and signing fees, and the agents themselves have a lot of benefits, and the agents will of course spare no effort to facilitate the transfer, and if necessary, they will even use strikes, boycotts or ineffective means to force Xiao Yang to comply.

Xiao Yang was secretly frightened when he heard this, if he didn't take precautions, when the incident happened suddenly, he would definitely fall into passivity. Even if players such as Egerman and Avantzini are loyal, it is difficult to guarantee that the temptation of money and the pandering of agents will not make them tempted. At that time, even if he suppresses the players with strong means, the Gosho team will definitely be in turmoil. He secretly hated in his heart, what a vicious method.

Xiao Yang thanked De Laurentiis again, and De Laurentiis said: "It's just a gesture, I have been in the football circle for a few more years than you, so many years of business, and I also have some friends, I am more well-informed, and I will inform you in time if there is news in this regard in the future." โ€

Xiao Yang also said: "Gosho club has no other strengths, but there are some unique features in the selection and training of young players, if there are some young players from the youth team in the future who do not have a place in the Gosau team, it happens that Napoli also needs it, Napoli can buy first." โ€

De Laurentiis was overjoyed, of course he knew the quality of Gosau's young players, and if there was such a stable source of excellent players, Napoli would be much better in the future, which was a big favor for him.

The two were talking and laughing, and the match between the two teams on the pitch had begun. After the start of the game, the two UEFA staff members also came to De Laurentiis's box according to the rules and sat next to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang can only smile bitterly at this, although De Laurentiis has no good impression of these two people, but UEFA regulations must also be followed, if these two people are kicked out, Xiao Yang can't stay here, so De Laurentiis just snorted, didn't say anything, and looked at the ball seriously.

Davies, the famous football commentator on TV, is introducing the starting line-ups of both sides: "The starting line-up of the home team Napoli is goalkeeper De Sanctis, the three defenders are Britos, Cannavaro Jr. and Campanaro, the midfield five are Almero, Inle, Zemaeli, Behrami and Hamsik, and the two forwards are Cavani and Pandev. โ€

"The starting line-up of the away team Gosau is goalkeeper Cecarelli, left-back Cecaroni, right-back Clemente, two central defenders are Silva and Henkoz, left winger Tobinski, right winger Sampedro, midfielder Fu Zilong, forward Lima, and two forwards are Esposito and Zhou Guodong."

"With the whistle of the referee on duty, German Schipper, the game officially began."

Fu Zilong is very excited today, this is his first start in the Champions League, he has experienced too many firsts in recent weeks, the first national team game, the first time he scored for Gosau, the first time he played for Gosau in the Champions League, and now it is his first Champions League start, he feels so happy that he is about to faint.

However, the excited Fu Zilong also made a big mistake, the game was only eight minutes into the opening game, Hamsik sent a direct pass, Inler inserted the ball at the front of the penalty area, Fu Zilong did not stick to Inle for the first time, sealing the angle of Inle shรจ door, the experienced Inler keenly grasped Fu Zilong's momentary distraction, decisively kicked shรจ door, no one interfered with Inle played a world wave, the ball drilled straight into the upper right corner of the goal, Checarelli was also helpless on this tricky shรจ goal.

Such a quick goal made the Neapoli fans in the stadium boil, De Laurentiis also raised his arms and shouted, after the passion, De Laurentiis noticed Xiao Yang who was embarrassed, so he said to Xiao Yang: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice your feelings." โ€

Xiao Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's nothing, it's an instinctive reaction of people." I'm just depressed, my young player made a low-level mistake. โ€

De Laurentiis comforted Xiao Yang and said: "It's nothing, this is the price that young players have to pay for their growth. โ€

After Checarelli got up from the ground, he yelled at Fu Zilong: "What are you doing? โ€

Fu Zilong lowered his head and remained silent, he knew that he had made a mistake.

Silva walked to Fu Zilong, patted him on the shoulder, and Silva, who played in the back, told Fu Zilong: "As a midfielder, you are the last barrier in front of the penalty area, as long as you see an opposing player holding the ball at the front of the penalty area, you have to stick it to prevent the opponent from getting away." But when you're young, everyone makes mistakes, so don't take it to heart and play well. โ€

Fu Zilong raised his head and said to Silva gratefully: "Thank you, I know!" โ€

Silva nodded and returned to his defensive position.

In fact, Fu Zilong knows these truths, after all, he trained with world-class defenders like Antunovic and Ivanovic, but he was so excited just now that he was a little distracted, and he made a big mistake. He clenched his fists and swore that he would never make such a mistake again.

In the ensuing game, Napoli focused their attack on the middle, and they saw that Gosau's immature midfielder was a weakness in their defensive formation, so they concentrated their forces to attack here and continue to open a breakthrough from here.

Napoli's attack on the middle left Fu Zilong a little at a loss, but fortunately his team-mates supported him, especially Silva, who helped him fill in twice. However, as the game progressed, Fu Zilong gradually entered the state, his performance became more and more calm, and later, Fu Zilong no longer needed the support of his teammates to guard his defensive area.

In the 21st minute, Inle received the ball at the front of the penalty area again, Fu Zilong stuck to him tightly this time, due to Fu Zilong's mistake after the opening caused Inle to score a goal, he inevitably had some contempt for the young midfielder, he made a simple feint and wanted to shake Fu Zilong, but as soon as he turned around, he felt a wind around him, he was slightly stunned, he felt that his feet were light, the ball had left his control, and then he felt that his feet stumbled on something, He fell to the ground with a bang.

Inler looked up to see that the young midfielder Fu Zilong, whom he had despised him, was getting up from the ground, holding the ball and passing him straight to Lima in front of him. Inle yelled at referee Schipper: "He has committed a foul!" โ€

But Schipper ignored him, and he ran forward in the direction of the ball. He saw it very clearly, although Fu Zilong's tackle just now was very fierce, it was very accurate and clean, and Yin Le just tripped over Fu Zilong's leg and fell because he couldn't hold his feet.

Seeing that the referee did not react, he only muttered something, got up from the ground, and participated in the game.

In the 28th minute, Inle once again controlled the ball in the front of the penalty area, this time he had his back to Fu Zilong, just as he wanted to turn around and wipe Fu Zilong, he felt a strong surge behind him, he suddenly lost his footing, stumbled a little, Fu Zilong took the opportunity to stretch out a foot, stabbed the ball at Inler's feet, and then bypassed Inle, took the ball a few steps forward, and distributed the ball to Tobinski on the left.

Inler glanced at the referee Schipper, and seeing that he still didn't say anything, he waved his hand angrily, but there was nothing he could do. Just now, he knew that his body had suffered. In fact, Inle's physical fitness is not weak, he is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 77 kilograms, which is also very strong, but compared with Fu Zilong, it is still a little worse, you must know that Fu Zilong's height has reached 1.89 meters, his weight has reached 81 kilograms, and his physical fitness has been increased to 20 by Xiao Yang. Inle wants to compare his physical fitness with him, of course, he suffers.

De Laurentiis in the box looked at Fu Zilong with interest, and said to Xiao Yang: "This kid's performance is getting better and better, there are really a lot of potential young people in your team, and it's enough to take any one out." โ€

Xiao Yang nodded: "He does have potential, but he still needs more game experience." I have high hopes for him. โ€

Of course, De Laurentiis could hear Xiao Yang's voice, that is, he didn't have to make up his mind about this player, and in front of two UEFA staff, it was not good to openly talk about the transfer of players, he could only shake his head regretfully.

Fu Zilong's performance allowed the Gosho team to stabilize its defense, and with the defense as the foundation, it also drove the Gosau team's offense. Although most of the players on the field today were rotational players, they were also quite good individually and created a few quite dangerous attacks, but due to the solid performance of Napoli's goalkeeper De Sanctis, the Gosau team did not score until the end of the first half.

The first half ended with Napoli leading 1-0 and the two teams went into the dressing room before they switched sides after a 15-minute half-time break.

At this time, the Napoli fans at the scene suddenly cheered, and the score of the other game in the group was played on the big screen at the scene, the Greek Olympiacos team played a 0:0 draw in the first half of the home match with Dortmund, and both sides did not score, if the game ends with the current score, the Napoli team will rank second in the group with a goal difference, and enter the next round of knockout rounds. Seeing the hope of qualifying, the Napoli fans will of course have to cheer.

At the start of the second half, the two teams began to play against each other, but due to the heroic performance of the goalkeepers of both teams, neither team scored.

Napoli fans are very concerned about the situation in the other match in addition to the situation of this match. Dortmund seemed to be in some trouble in that game and were goalless until just over 60 minutes into the game. This made the Napoli fans very excited, and they seemed to see the comeback of their team, and they were singing loudly and cheering for their home team all the time.

The Napoli players were also very excited when they learned the score from Dortmund's side, and their attack became more intense.

In the 71st minute of the game, Hamsik split the ball to the right wing, Behrami received the ball and advanced to the 30-meter area of the Gossau team, and then he sent a diagonal pass, stuffed the ball into the penalty area, Pandev burst into the box to get the ball, under the defense of Henkoz he dribbled the ball to near the bottom line, and then crossed with his feet, Cavani jumped high, pressed Silva, and pushed the ball into the top right corner of the goal.

The Napoli fans were boiling, they stood up and cheered loudly, shouting Cavani's name.

De Laurentiis in the box also raised his arms and shouted, but after he calmed down, his face immediately drooped, it turned out that the TV in the box played the score of another game, almost at the same time as Cavani's goal, Dortmund's Reuss also scored a goal for Dortmund, and now Dortmund leads Olympiacos 1:0.

The fans in the stands obviously also learned the news, and the fans who were still cheering just now suddenly became silent. Although Olympiacos' defensive ability is strong, their attacking ability is very average, and in a game of this level, it is very difficult to equalize after conceding a goal, so Dortmund's goal almost condemned Napoli's death.

Some Napoli fans even shed tears, you must know that Napoli fans have great hopes for this season, they hope that Napoli can make a breakthrough in the Champions League, Napoli's strength is possible to complete the breakthrough, but I didn't expect to be in such a group of death, it is possible that the group will not qualify. The gap between reality and hope is unacceptable to many fans.

The performance of the fans let the Napoli players know that it was probably Dortmund who scored, and they were helpless, and it was really bad to feel that this fate was not in their own hands, but what could be done? The blame is on why they were held to a draw by Olympiacos when they were away from home. Now all Napoli can do is play their game well and win against Gosau and then go and pray for God's blessing.

The Napoli offensive became more and more intense, and it seemed as if they were pushing this side, and Olympiacos on the other side could feel it.
