"As you can see, everything in the Clezio training base is the most valuable asset of the Parma team."

Listening to the people on the other side, as an official of the Parma City Government, Rossi didn't particularly care about what the Parma team had, it was just a routine, it wasn't a big deal, but the current situation of the Parma team made him quite interested.

On the opposite side is a rather tall person, although he is wearing a sportswear specially changed for the convenience of sports, but he still has a heroic spirit. This temperament makes Rosie quite favorable, and people in the sports world just have to be a little heroic.

"The Clezio training base was established in 1990, when the economy was good, when the long-term planning was made, four training grounds and two semi-formal venues, locker rooms, massage rooms, operating rooms, bathrooms, whirlpool hot tubs, modern rehabilitation centers and conference rooms and other facilities are readily available, and even the indoor training ground is very complete, which has badminton courts, physical therapy rooms, hardware equipment is excellent, of course, we built when we have money, more than ten years have not been replaced, some outdated, It is not up to date, but the most basic turf, changing rooms, bathrooms, measuring rooms and other commonly used facilities are very good, so to speak, our base is one of the few in Italy. If a new boss takes over, all you need to do is add a geothermal system and fix the bathrooms, and it will become a first-class training base. It doesn't cost much in total, about 2 million euros can do everything. ”

"I'll remember...... Mr. Borg, interject and ask, are you usually in charge of this place? ”

Borg turned his head and glanced at him before he spoke, "I'm the team's strength and conditioning coach, and I'm only responsible for keeping an eye on the players' fitness, fitness, and fitness. More things, not things I think about. However, the manager of the team, Mr. Balaldi, is discussing the custody of the team with your city government, and the youth director of the youth training base, Coach Li, also has the club's affairs to deal with, and I am the only one who will take you to do the asset inventory. ”

"Thank you, sir, although I am a member of the government and have to take over the entrusted Parma, but, as a fan, I have to thank you. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Borg, you're Czech, aren't you? It's really admirable that a Czech can stay in the team and not go anywhere when the club goes bankrupt. ”

"I stayed for my reasons...... Mr. Rossi, are you here to do the asset statistics for the club, or are you here to ask questions? ”

"I'm sorry, just curious." Rossi shrugged, "They all say the club is over – the Palmelat group is bankrupt, Mr. Tanzi has been arrested, and if it weren't for the government's hosting of the team, I wouldn't have to come here to count what you have – I'm curious if anyone will want to stay at Parma." ”

"Are we the people you need to count?"

"Of course you are not our assets on paper, but if you are willing to stay, it will certainly be more convenient for our team to find a new owner to take over." When it comes to this issue, Rossi is still very sincere, "Parma is one of the best clubs in Italy, we are the seven sisters of Serie A, and we shouldn't just end up like this." I'm a government worker, but I'm also a Parma fan, and I hope he can rise again - if he can't do it, at least, keep playing in the first division, let the fans have a pastime, I don't want it to end up like Fiorentina, they are bankrupt, but the fan base is still there, and if you want to make a comeback, you can find a boss. But the Parmalat group is bankrupt, and if Parma goes bankrupt again, this team will really be finished. The city of Parma is too small for us to make a comeback. ”

"I can't control these things." Borg hesitated, but shook his head, "I'm only staying here because I promised someone else to stay, and I can't leave now." ”

"Is it Li Bin?" Rosie blurted out and asked, "I heard that after Mr. Prandley left, the rest of you will be headed by Coach Li Bin, the head of youth training." If there is anyone who can persuade you to stay here, then it is only Li Bin. ”

The name Li Bin, Rosie has not known the Tao for a long time, but this does not prevent him, and he is very impressed by this name.

"Listen to your tone, are you dissatisfied with him?" Borg asked rhetorically.

"Of course. He's just an academy manager, but I've heard people say he's the most valuable person in the team. Rossi opened his mouth, "Although I don't know anyone in football, don't think I don't know the truth, now the whole Italian football world is rumoring: Parma's most valuable asset is not the team's training base, nor the team's honor room, but the team's youth training system." And Parma's youth training system is all maintained on his Li Bin, and whoever can poach Li Bin is equivalent to getting the entire Parma legacy! He should be ashamed of it! He is a coach who has been trained by Parma, if it weren't for Parma, where would he be where he is today? A Chinese who has been reused in Parma, he should be grateful to Dade and give everything for Parma, but I heard that he actually hooked up with the top three in the north, this is too undeserved, right? ”

Rossi's fierce words silenced Borg for a moment, and after a while, he spoke, "The core asset of Parma FC is indeed not this training base here. At the heart of Parma's most valuable assets are the 300 football schools that have been built around the world and the network of scouts, football schools and players under their control, the contracts they work with, the relationships they have made. We have 83 football schools in Italy, five satellite clubs, our own well-established coaching model, and the experience and systems that the team has gained over the years of work – these things are priceless and may seem like a few pieces of paper ready to be scrapped, but they are indeed Parma's most valuable assets. And I think that even if you don't know the details, but only know a rough idea through the words of the media, you should be able to understand who created all this. ”

"Li Bin did all this as he should, he shouldn't have turned the network that belongs to the team into his own network. Parma gave him the opportunity to work, and he should give everything for Parma. Rossi said angrily, "It was Parma who gave him a chance, and it was all as it should be!" ”

"Should it? Mr. Rossi, you are not involved in football, and you may not know what the situation of the youth training in Italy is now. It's 2004 and it's not the time of the 90s when Serie A was invincible. Look at the top three in the north, and then look at a few young people who have come out in the past few years, and you will know how rotten the youth training in Italy has become. If it is so, then what he should do is to take the team's money every year, watch a few games around the world, and then meet with the agents, according to the agent's recommendation, report to the team a list of players, and according to this list, let the team bring in reinforcements - just like everyone does. Italy's youth coaches are doing this, they don't care what their youth academy looks like, for them, youth training is equal to football weak countries, and digging young people from football weak countries is equivalent to completing youth training, and they have merit. Of course, there may be some differences, Juventus digging France, Inter Milan digging Argentina, AC Milan digging the Netherlands and Brazil, but in essence, there is not much difference. But what Li Bin did, you must be clear yourself. ”

Borg looked up at the base, "I've been here for five years and I've seen how he works. I saw how he worked. I saw how he traveled to many countries in Africa, South America, North America, and Asia, where he visited local football schools, established partnerships with them, trained coaches for them, and helped them develop into contract schools for this team. I also saw with my own eyes how he established the team's scouting network in various parts of the world, and set up a special file room, three computers, three scouts in the team, and his daily work was to inspect the players through videos sent from all over the world, which led to our leading scouting network in Italy. Not to mention, the team's youth training philosophy, training methods, are all established by him - you also know how difficult it was to dare to stand up and question Sacchi's chain defense concept five years ago, before 1999 - do you really think these things should be? If everything he did was really what it should be, then why was it that among all the youth directors in Serie A, he was the youth director who was coaxed by the top three in the north, and the others were not? Opportunities are for those who are capable, right? Borg continued, "Do things not by what you say, but by what you do. Li Bin contacted the football schools everywhere and established a cooperation method with them, Parma cultivated football coaches for them, and gave away some peripheral products of the Parma team, which can be said to have attracted this huge network of football schools at almost no cost. Milan has enough money to set up a football school in Africa, which is enough for us to complete the layout of the whole of West Africa. It does not rely on boasting about how much it attaches importance to youth training, but on making more contacts with those countries, doing more exchanges, inspecting local football, providing guidance, and doing more practical things. Why does everyone know now that Parma's youth training network is maintained on Li Bin? Because everyone knows very well that this network was compiled little by little by Li Bin, he stayed in Parma, this network is Parma's, if he leaves, this network will also leave with him - Li Bin is now valued because he is a person who really does things seriously. His capital is earned by himself, what is unacceptable? ”

When Borg said this, he also brought emotion, "You, the fans, the management, have always only stared at the people on the top layer. You only pay attention to the manager, you pay attention to the players, you pay attention to the manager, and you see them as the treasure of a team - but you don't understand the importance of a team, the staff at the bottom, you don't pay attention to it, behind a team, 23 first-team players, there are as many as 300 youth echelons, 50,000 attention lists. Do you think Li Bin has received too much attention like this? No, I don't think that's enough. For the current Italy, a youth training network, if it can be used well, means that it has a great opportunity, which means that in the next ten years, your business can sit back and relax, and it means that a team has the possibility and hope of long-term development - such capital, why is it not waiting for the price to sell? ”

"That's why you chose to listen to Li Bin? For the benefit behind this scouting network? Rosie asked, "But he's a Chinese!" ”

"I'm a foreigner too, and," Borg was silent for a moment, "that's certainly not a reason for me to listen to him, money isn't that important to me. You haven't understood yet...... In just five or six years, I watched Li Bin build a youth network that is considered a treasure throughout Italy. His ability to work, I have no doubt. I didn't stay because I value this network, I stayed because I believed in him as a person: with a bigger stage, he can create greater miracles. And I am about to be a witness to the miracle. ”
