"Milan agreed, let's choose a few of their players as substitutes. It just so happens that now Bresciano has gone to Florence and I sold Simpricio to Rome and we really need people. I talked to them, they sold half of Abbiati's ownership for 2 million, and next season it will be for us, and then we will choose one of their strikers Borriello and Matri to offset 2 million, do you think it's okay? ”

"Which one of Borriello or Matri?" Li Bin smiled bitterly, this Nima is for me to choose one of Guo Xiaosi and Pan Changjiang who is suitable to play center in the NBA!

Galliani was so dark - but, thinking that it was Bonella who he sold to him, Li Bin couldn't say anything. Everyone is a black-hearted pit person, and no one should laugh at anyone.

"Which of these two players do you think is better?" Balaldi was still asking.

"These two people, Borriello, are chicken ribs. It's a pity to discard it. And what about Mattley......" Li Bin thought for a long time, "this is the chicken butt, some people think it smells of shit, and they resolutely refuse to eat it, while others think that it is tender and delicious, better than anything else......"

"And people who love to eat that kind of thing?"

"Of course, I will introduce you to Ah Yi ......another day," Li Bin smiled bitterly, "However, since I have to sign one of them, I have to sign one of them." Let's sign Matri, he is a traditional center, his strength is not affected for the time being, but his technical characteristics are still outstanding. ”

Parma do need a striker, otherwise it's not good to not even have a replacement. And considering the composition of the team, Li Bin does prefer to be a local Italian player - after all, on the forward line, there is only one Rossi who is a local player, and Li Bin also feels that it is necessary to strengthen the voice of local players in the locker room. However, even so, the players who were bought were 21-year-old Matri or 23-year-old Borriello were very unhappy.

Balaldi saw Li Bin's dissatisfaction and silently remembered it in his heart, and then he opened his mouth again, "Actually, I asked, Milan also agreed, you can loan Rui Costa to us at a price of 1.5 million, they just signed a contract, 3.2 million salary, Milan bears half of it, but they ask for regulations that if we play 25 times in the league, we must spend 8 million to buy out." The 34-year-old player sells for 8 million, which is too expensive, I can't make up my mind......"

Milan still wants to pay for it......

"We have a lot of money to spend and this transfer can be done and it is worth doing." Li Bin nodded.

25 games? According to the rules of football, the start counts as a game, and the substitute counts as a half, right? I'd like to see what Galliani's expression would be if I had played 24.5 games......

"If you think you can, there's one more thing you have to do." "How to convince him to come over is your business." ”——

"Coach Li Bin, please come in."

When Li Bin walked into Rui Costa's home, Rui Costa was looking at the coach who had recently made a name for himself in Serie A.

This person's figure is not considered tall, and his length can only be said to be pleasing to the eye, but it is far from handsome. As for his dress and deeds, he is also reflected in the appropriateness of everything, but it is far from being conspicuous.

It's hard to imagine that he is two years younger than himself, and he is already the coach who won the League Cup. It's really unusual to be a coach at such an age.

"Mr. Costa, I came to you to discuss something with you." After sitting firmly, Li Bin also spoke.

"Something about my transfer?" Rui Costa asked.

"To be precise, it should be lend-lease."

Rui Costa smiled - on loan? Since when did he become a loanee.

He has no place in Milan and he knew that very well last season. His strength is really good, when Milan won the championship in the 02-03 season, he can still be regarded as the core of the frontcourt, but he is indeed unfortunate that when his career goes downhill, the rival he meets is the extremely strong Kaka.

Rui Costa, who is in his thirties, is no longer able to maintain his former strength, and his opponent is Kaka, one of the best strikers in the world. Age, injuries, and playing style have made him lose his main position.

And at the end of the season, when the contract was renewed, Milan kept lowering the price, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was a sentence: Rui Costa is useless, not worth so much money, and is a waste.

Rui Costa doesn't value money, and besides, at 33 years old, it's not time for him to compete. He even offered to go back to Florence or Benfica, to the place where he grew up, to end his career. People who have moved the mind of retirement, what is money? He could accept a drop from Milan's 4.2 million attacks to Fiorentina's 1.5 million, but it was just a matter of starting and ending.

But Milan was not willing to let him go easily. After all, Rui Costa is a player who spent 42 million to buy from Milan, and it only took four years to let it go, and Milan felt that it was a loss. They would rather pay a salary of 3.2 million a year than keep Rui Costa. Rui Costa had agreed to stay, but now, Parma had to go on loan.

Rui Costa didn't know how Parma and Milan were negotiating, but when the news came, he was already smiling wryly.

And Li Bin came to chat with him now, also to persuade him to go to Parma.

"You've come to an agreement with Mr. Galliani?" Rui Costa asked.

"Yes. He agreed to a loan to Parma, with Milan paying half of the salary. Li Bin said simply.

"My agent told me, and I know." Rui Costa nodded, "I just can't imagine that I'm going to play for a third team in Serie A, and in this way, I'm going to be a bitch." ”

"Don't say that, there are more teams that have played for three teams, Batistuta has also played for three teams, isn't Figo also moving to Inter Milan?"

"I don't think they're going to be proud of that."

"But I don't think they'll regret what they did."

Li Bin's answer made Rui Costa raise his head in some surprise. He didn't expect Li Bin to answer this sentence so quickly, and it was so unrefutable that he couldn't refute it.

"Well, maybe you have a point. Tell me what you can give me. Champion? I have. Money? I have it too. Fame? I have. Future? I don't have this, and you can't give it to me. I'm just looking for a place to retire now, I want to go back to Florence or Lisbon to retire because that's my home. If you want to keep going...... I'm old, not that age, you want me to go to Parma, I don't have any prejudices and opinions about Parma, but let me go to Parma, you have to give me a reason. ”

Rui Costa's words made Li Bin a little confused about what to say.

Tempting them to take advantage is the best way for global members to join. Those who want money give money, and those who want fame give fame, these things can be promised and given. However, he didn't expect that Rui Costa would now have no desires, and all he wanted was to go back to the place where he grew up and play.

This is also the most troublesome - how to persuade people who have no desires and no desires?

"Mr. Costa, I probably can't promise much." After thinking about it, Li Bin opened his mouth, "You know, Parma's finances are not rich, and giving you a salary of 1.6 million is already an overspending, if it weren't for your fame, the city government wouldn't even agree." When it comes to fame, Parma are certainly not as good as Milan, who can compete for the Champions League and league titles, but for us, the UEFA Cup and the top four in the league are our biggest pursuits. As for fame...... To put it mildly, one of the biggest reasons I bought you is because you have a lot of fans, and you are good for us to sell jerseys, because we need your fame, not that you need our fame."

Rui Costa smiled, he was not surprised by these words, but he was still surprised that the other party would say them directly.

"But Parma can give you something else, and what I can give you, is the simplest thing, football."

"Football?"

"Yes, football. I'll help you plan your tactics and make sure you play well. I don't dare to say anything else, but when you go to Parma, you're our core player, and you can't give that anywhere else. "I know that you are loyal to Fiorentina and Benfica, but I would like you to notice that you should be loyal to football. You can still play, you are not old enough to retire, you can still contribute, and to retire is a betrayal of football. I can't give you anything else, but football, I can give you. When you're in Parma, you have plenty of playing time and the freedom to enjoy football. ”

This is something that Milan can't give Rui Costa anyway, which is also the biggest difference between Parma and Milan.

That's enough to make Rui Costa tickle.

He's 33 years old and doesn't have much time left to play. Sitting on the bench for a year, compared to enjoying a year of playing on the court, he is more inclined to play. He really has no pursuit of fame and fortune, but his love for football itself has not changed.

For a person who plays football, fame, interests, and honor can be discarded, but only football is the most inseparable thing for players. That player didn't give up when he hung up his boots? They are reluctant, isn't it this grass, this round ball?

Such conditions also moved Rui Costa. For football, but also for a good coach who understands his own ideas.

"Mr. Li Bin, I can accept everything else you say, and to be honest, I am also very excited." Rui Costa spoke, "But there are three things I want to make clear to you. I'm from Fiorentina and against Fiorentina I don't play. Milan loaned me to Parma, who now use me, but after a year, my contract expires and at that point my first choice is still Fiorentina or Benfica, and if they don't use me, I'll consider Parma. Thirdly, even if I go to Parma, I will go to Florence in the future. I have to retire at Benfica or Fiorentina, and if I go to Parma, you'll have to find a way to get in touch and get me back to Fiorentina to retire. ”

Rui Costa's words made Li Bin a little confused what to say, this guy really wants to go back to Florence. His attitude made Li Bin a little emotional.

If others say that, it will be difficult for Li Bin to accept. However, think about your own team, Arshavin who needs someone to teach what professionalism is, Milito and Rossi who need to feed the ball, Yaya Toure who needs to improve their playmaking skills, and players who need to know what it means to control the tempo...... Li Bin was ruthless, but still agreed.

"Okay, I accept." Li Bin nodded, "You are a Florentine legend, and you always will be." What I need is not your loyalty, what I need is your contribution. ”
