Chapter 46: Italy's Left-Back

After flipping through all the information of the "Cruyff" descendants, Zhuang Mingge suddenly found that there was no name of Cruyff's son, Jordi Cruyff.

Zhuang Mingge told Karin about such doubts, and Karin was told that Cruyff Jr. had been directly transferred to GM's agent, and the latest situation about Cruyff Jr. was that his "football king" father had helped him contact a Premier League club through his personal connections. According to Laporta's words, Cruyff himself came out in person, and those arrogant Britons had to sell the Dutch face anyway, right?

As for Laporta, Zhuang Mingge naturally will not accept all of them, but at least for now, in the case that GM Broker has only just been established and the status of the agent has not been improved, Cruyff is only using this cooperation as a less important hole card, and the Dutch obviously believes in his own connections.

Of course, Zhuang Mingge knows that the "Premier League club" that Laporta said is likely to be the Manchester United who later dominated the Premier League.

Now that the initial intention has been reached for the cooperation with Cruyff, all that remains is to negotiate the specific details, Zhuang Mingge simply left Antonioni and Poirot in Barcelona, and took Karin and a senior staff member of the transfer department in charge of negotiations to Turin, Italy, where he has the No. 1 transfer target in mind.

But his first stop was not Juventus' headquarters on Avenida Ferraris, but a private hospital a few kilometres away for blood disorders.

Although he had been mentally prepared enough, when he saw the pale and haggard young man in the glass window of his isolation room, there was still an indescribable sourness in his heart. This is the sick Andrea Fortunato, the handsome, elegant boy chasing the wind.

André Fortunato, a rising star in Italian football, is known as Maldini's successor. However, just at the end of last season, he was diagnosed with leukemia. Now that he has just undergone a bone marrow transplant, he is stubbornly fighting the Grim Reaper, and now he has no time to think about his future.

A few months ago, Moggi gave up other players when he started to "yin" Fiorentina, and insisted on buying Pesoto for this reason, Fortunato's absence is a huge vacuum on the left side of Juventus, and Mo's old foxes must find a reliable left wing-back to replace Fortunato's position.

Zhuang Mingge came to Turin this time to buy this man who was fighting against the disease, and even if someone objected, he was confident enough to convince everyone, including his father. Even if he may be knocked by the old fox Moji again, he will not hesitate! He's going to send a voice to the whole of Italy, a voice to fight for football! Perhaps, many years later, the passionate Huang Jianxiang will add a new name to the cry of "great Italian left-back".

"Let's go, Karin, we should go meet Mr. Moggie now."

***********

Via Ferraris, the headquarters of Juventus.

"What? Chairman Corleone? Are you willing to bear the full cost of Fortunato's treatment in exchange for his move to Fiorentina for a zero transfer fee? Rao had seen many big scenes, and he could not have imagined that the ambitious Florentine "emperor" in front of him would put forward such strange terms for negotiation.

"Yes, dear Mr. Moggie, and I heard that you are not going to register Fortunato for the league this season, so I guess even if Fiorentina sign him, there will be no hindrance to Juventus' Jihua this season, right?"

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Corleone, but these ideas that you have come up with are a bit out of the norm, and I need to ask for the opinion of the head coach of the team, Mr. Lippi." Moji is not as difficult to deal with as Zhuang Mingge imagined, but his calmness at critical moments can still reflect the comprehensive quality of an excellent football manager.

"Mr. Mogi, please excuse me, and to tell you the truth, I am very touched by what you have done for Fortunato so far. On my own behalf, I would like to express my deep respect to you and to the Juventus club under your leadership...... However, this is not enough, I believe Fortunato needs this new contract from Fiorentina! Zhuang Mingge gave his reasons, and he enjoyed the excitement of going head-to-head with Moji.

"Well, I agree to your request, you can sign Fortunato for free, but Fiorentina will need to sell half of your ownership of Filippo Inzaghi in exchange for it." Moggie finally showed his hole cards.

"No way, Inzaghi was our team's top scorer last season and Juventus would be a big loss for Fiorentina if they traded a player who is likely to retire for half of our number one striker."

"So, what about Christian Vieri?"

"Vieri is the only substitute for Barty and we won't accept an offer for him, but I would like to ask Mr. Moggie if you are interested in our youth centre-forward Francisco Frachi?"

"That's a good lad...... What, you're going to exchange him for that? ”

"That's right, I add half of the ownership of Fraki, and at the same time Florence has the right of first refusal for Fraki."

"Well, I agree." Moggie thought about it for a moment and decided that it would be a good option to exchange a sick number for a hopeful star, so he agreed to the deal.

"Deal!"

In fact, Zhuang Mingge's transaction this time used a small psychological negotiation skill. He first made Moggie, the old fox, sure that he was going to sell Fortunato, and offered him enough enticing chips, and then waited until the other party had made up his mind to trade, and then changed the chips. But at this point, Moggie is ready to lose Fortunato, even if the chips you give are a little worse, then he will accept it. And if Zhuang Mingge came up and said directly, "We will exchange half of Fraki's ownership for Fortunato", then Moggi will definitely not agree, because exchanging a sick number for half of the ownership of a young player who has not yet proven himself in the top league is a bit of a loss. Zhuang Mingge made a two-step deal, first explaining that Florence had come to pay Fortunato's high cost of treatment, which made Moggie feel that he was beginning to take advantage of it, and that it was possible to take advantage of it to the end, and his greed triumphed over reason. The greed derived from the rich interests can blind the eyes and reason, driven by the rich interests, people will give some obvious loopholes or reasons to make up some reasonable excuses on their own, Moji is like this, zuihou fell into the trap of Zhuang Mingge digging haode.

In fact, there have been many similar cases in reality, such as in the NBA, when the Thunder and Celtics were traded. The Thunder first told the Celtics to trade Harden for Parkinson, and then kept working for the Celtics, instilling in the Celtics the concept that "Parkinson is useless, you can trade him out", and when the Celtics were convinced that it would be useless to keep Parkinson, then the trade for Parkinson was a foregone conclusion. As a result, at the juncture of the transaction, the Thunder changed their mind again, "I'm sorry, Harden is out of play, or Green, it's also very good." At this time, the Celtics had already made up their minds to replace Parkinson and add a good backcourt player, and then looked at Green's data, so they agreed in a daze.

Thunder made money with this method, but now Zhuang Mingge has also made a profit.

In Zhuang Mingge's memory, the reason why Fortunato died in later generations was not because his leukemia was not cured, and he did recover after receiving a bone marrow transplant, but because Fortunato contracted pneumonia after the operation...... As long as he controls Fortunato's treatment environment, Zhuang Mingge believes that he can change the fate of this talented Italian left-back!

As for Vlaki? Think about the various bad deeds of this gentleman in later generations: in 07, he was banned for two years for taking banned drugs, and as a result, he lost his main position and job; Less than half a year after the ban was lifted, this product was found to be smoking cocaine, and he was also unlucky, just in time for the Italian Anti-Doping Association's "Crackdown", so he was directly banned for 12 years and could only announce his retirement. This kind of "superb" player, Zhuang Mingge thinks it's better to throw it to Moji for a headache.

The next day, Fiorentina held a special press conference to officially announce that the first player that Fiorentina brought in before the start of the 1994-95 season was from Juventus club, Italy's hopeful star - Andrea Fortunato!

The staff at the press conference played a video about Fortunato under the signal of the host, this video was found by Zhuang Mingge with the help of Karin, from the database of Italian TV 1, on the big screen is the young and handsome, elegant and free Fortunato, wearing the Zebra jersey and the Italian national team jersey, galloping on the green field...... After just a few tens of seconds of video, the picture suddenly switched to a hospital bed, and Fortunato, who was thin and pale, excitedly took the Fiorentina jersey with the word "Fortunato" printed on the back from the Zhuang Ming singer. Instead of showing off his shirt like other new Fiorentina players, he kissed Fortunato's name on it so affectionately that the nurse next to him had to force a sedative on him......

Zuihou appears in the picture of Juventus manager Moggi, who wears a Juventus number 3 shirt worn by Fortunato, and begins to recall his impression of Fortunato:

"Fortunato is a great player! It is an honour for Juventus to have such a great star, and he also likes Juventus as a team...... It has been a dream of him since he was a child to wear the purple Florentine jersey, and I wish him a speedy recovery! ”

To tell the truth, Zhuang Mingge actually admires Moggie very much, and they all say that Juventus under his management is not affectionate to players, and is clearly a pure businessman, but in fact, Moji's football shijie is very real, the real is a bit bland, and the truth reveals his healthy attitude to life.
