"Mr. Bardini apologizes to you, he shouldn't think that the work is ineffective, your work is the greatest help to our team."

The next day, after arriving at the team, Balaldi brought Bardini's words. Bardini obviously felt a little embarrassed and didn't come back to the youth team, which also made Li Bin sneer a few times and ignore him.

Last night, he suddenly said that he thought Baldini might be out of class, and everyone didn't believe it. However, in Li Bin's heart, he still thinks that it is possible. The team is not rich in the first place, it can barely support it after selling a back line, the people in the team have resigned, the team is on the verge of collapse, and now, the new coach does not seem to be a person who knows how to unite the team very well, no matter how you look at it, it is very dangerous. Not to mention, next season, Parma will have to fight on three fronts, in addition to the league and cup, there is also the Europa League to play, and at the same time, the Serie A 04-05 season has been restructured into 38 rounds.

However, Li Bin also knew that these things were a little too early. Let's see, by the middle of the season, maybe it's your chance.

"I don't blame him, actually, I've handed over the youth training to Esposito, and I'm in charge of things here now, so I don't have to worry about running out of energy."

Balaldi was not at all surprised that Li Bin had been arranged so quickly - Li Bin had always been vigorous and resolute, and he knew this all too well. Now that everyone has maintained a semblance of harmony, then all this is enough.

And after taking care of this matter, the new coach Baldini also handed over his transfer target to Li Bin.

The transfer model in Serie A is different from that of the Premier League, where there is no one-man big picture, and the same is true in Parma, where the coach is in charge of the coaching, while the manager is in charge of negotiations and finances, and the director of scouting is responsible for providing the transfer list, and there has always been a clear division of labor.

"The main players that Coach Valdini wants are defenders and midfielders. Ferrari, Moretti, Blasi, Barone, Castellini are all players we lost this summer. The loaned Blassi Juventus wants to be recycled, we have no choice, and Castellini and Moretti really can't integrate into us, and they will leave when they leave, but Ferrari and Barone are gone, and our backline is going to be unlucky after all. Ferrari is the captain, the absolute main centre-back, and as soon as he leaves, we have to buy a defender. And Blasi and Barone are gone, so we have to add a back to it. ”

Li Bin could hear Balaldi's regret - even if the manager only had money in his eyes, who wouldn't regret watching so many good players lose?

Li Bin also regretted that he had nothing to do. The team is in debt, the poor are dying, what do you rely on if you don't sell people?

It stands to reason that last season's Parma had Frei in goal, Ferrari in the backline, Cannavaro Jr., Bonella, Moretti and others in the back, Blasi and Barone in the back, Bresciano and Marchioni on the two wings, and Adriano and Gilardino in the forwards. However, the premise of that is not to sell people.

But Parma's finances are impossible not to sell. Adriano has already sold it, and he sold four more backlines, which is an unimaginable fire sale. Although he has already experienced the desolation of the sale of Thuram and Buffon, Li Bin still feels quite uncomfortable when he sees such a sale.

Especially when he saw the funds offered by Balaldi, he also looked up.

"But the transfer fee you offered me doesn't look like buying the main defender, the midfielder, but like the salary of the main defender." Li Bin was a little dissatisfied, "1 million? Are we so poor? ”

"The team is in custody and the biggest task now is to try to save every dollar and pay off the debt, otherwise the team will be declared bankrupt – we can't be a second Fiorentina. Let's save a little if we can, and, after all, we are now insolvent, and continuing to be viable is the only reason why we have not been declared bankrupt, and we have to save some money. ”

Balaldi did not explain where the money went: the two of them had this tacit understanding, Li Bin didn't care about financial matters, and Balaldi didn't ask much about transfers. Although the two people are not in harmony, they are also familiar enough with each other, and at this time, they know that the other party will not be greedy for personal gain.

Li Bin was quite helpless about this, "I don't care about myself, but, Luca, you should understand, we can't have good results if we save money like this." ”

"The prize money of the Serie A champion is only 7 million, and the broadcast rights of Serie A do not follow the results, what do we care about so many results? Being able to be relegated, having broadcast costs to spend, and maintaining the team from relegation, is enough, don't think about anything else. When he has a new boss and wants to compete for the championship, that's his business. ”

Balaldi's words are indeed the same truth, the Serie A championship prize is not much, and the broadcast has always been controlled by the top three in the north, Berlusconi is the biggest media tycoon in Italy, how can he share the money according to the results? From Balaldi's point of view, there is really no need to spend money for good results.

In this regard, Li Bin can only sigh, this is also the biggest reason for the decline of Serie A, right?

"As you wish. Actually, we don't need to be so calculating. In terms of central defenders, if we are willing to spend a little money, we can get good players, Barzagli is on sale, three million, we can buy them......"

"Isn't three million money?"

"They could be tens of millions in the future."

"But when it becomes tens of millions, it's not yours and it's not mine—what do you care about the future? Now it's best to keep the team from going bankrupt. ”

It's a manager who doesn't pursue it - but Li Bin also knows that it is true that the tree is falling and scattered, and now that they don't leave, they are already benevolent and righteous, who will care about more future interests?

At the end of the day, everyone is just a wage earner. It's good if you don't leave when the catastrophe comes, who still thinks about long-term development?

"Okay then, I'll go to Bologna and talk about a loan for Gambellini. Then, I want to try to go to Juventus to sign Chiellini on loan, if we are willing to commit to giving him enough plays, Juventus should be happy to loan us instead of Fiorentina sharing ownership - he has a lot of potential, we give Juventus free training, Juventus will not object, and I think he has the quality of a central defender, you can try. As for left-back and midfielders...... Hellas Dorsena in Verona and Barzaretti in Turin are both in the second division, but they are both good players who can adapt to Serie A, and see who is willing to transfer. As for the midfield, Simpricio is not under a contract at the moment, you can try to get a visa, but pay attention to the nationality issue, and the non-European quota can be saved. Li Bin thought for a while, "The front court also needs to be replaced, I tried to go to Inter Milan to loan their listed Mofeo, but I can't guarantee success." ”

Since you have little money and want to use good players, then don't think about buying people, thinking about loan. Speaking of which, this kind of loan contract that promises the number of games will only be used by the satellite team, but now, there is no good choice. Fortunately, Li Bin used to be Prandelli's assistant coach, and Prandelli is a teammate of Juventus Vice President Bennett, after Parma's downfall, Moggi has also been using this reason to woo Parma, it is estimated that he will go to Juventus to loan players, and he will not object to it. With Chiellini's potential and Li Bin's reputation as a youth academy player for 10 years, he is confident that he will convince Moggi to confirm Chiellini's value and not consider selling half of his ownership, but purely on loan.

Parma don't have enough money to buy a striker, so it's better to see where to go and borrow a striker as a substitute. But if Mofeo can be loaned in, then, next season, the front court will be Gilardino as a single striker, Mofeo, Bresciano, and Marchioni as the three forwards, followed by Simpricio and Guerrera, which is also good. Mofeo's technical characteristics are relatively close to Riquelme, and he is still a very good player, and even once wore the No. 10 shirt of Inter, while Bresciano is known as the Australian cannon and has a long-range shot, plus Marchioni is known as the Italian Beckham, such a lineup, coupled with the silver boot Gilardino of Serie A last season, and Rossi of the youth team, is also quite good.

And the backfield......

Li Bin twitched, Cannavaro Jr. and Bonella played defenders, this is really unreliable.

"Are we really not buying defenders anymore?"

"I don't buy it." Balaldi made a decision, "Don't worry about Simpricio, do you still need to say this?" I know more than you do. ”

The transfer of Serie A is different from that of other countries. They set a non-European quota every year, so in Italy, when bringing in a player, it is very important whether the opponent has an EU passport.

Many agents have this ability: they can help players apply for EU passports, so that the team can cancel a non-European quota. Especially for the use of players from South American countries such as Brazil and Argentina, it is very easy for players from these countries to apply for Italian nationality, Spanish nationality and Portuguese nationality. Or the player's agent is inadequate. It's better to pay attention to this problem than not to pay attention to it.

Preparing more is Li Bin's consistent style of doing things, and even at this time, he thinks the same way.

"Who would have thought that we used to be one of the seven sisters of Serie A, and now we are full of visa-free ...... in addition to loan" Li Bin looked at the plans in front of him, and also smiled bitterly.

"The team is poor, what can we do?" Balaldi sighed, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly, such a poor team, the two of them had no intention of fighting.

Balaldi knew that Li Bin had intentions, and Li Bin also knew that Balaldi was hostile to him, but at this time, in the face of such a tattered situation, what else could he quarrel about?

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing, I think I'll have to ask you." Having got the list and walked to the door, Balaldi turned around, "I have a reporter and want to interview you." ”

"I don't want to lose that person, the total amount of 1 million summer reinforcements, in addition to visa exemption is loan, what do I say to reporters? Besides, Nadia has arranged a date for me, and I'm going to the appointment. ”

"No, no, they're not interviewing transfers, it's you." Balaldi said, "Actually, it's a Chinese reporter, and you're one of the few Chinese who have made a name for themselves in Italy, and some people want to interview you." ”

Li Bin was surprised by this, and after a while, he nodded, "Then, let him come over, I also want to meet our domestic reporters." ”
