Li Bin has long thought that in this season, the position of right-back will be changed, and Zim Bonda has a good level, but the integration is not good, which also makes Li Bin want to change to someone else. But he didn't expect that at this time, there would be such an opportunity to dig Zabaleta. This news made him quite tempted, after all, he also knew that it was impossible to dig up better players.

The start of last season was too bad, and after reaching the worst, he did not qualify for the Champions League, which also made many aspiring players refuse to come here. For example, Monaco's McConn, he also knows that he is very good, but his non-European nationality is not easy to handle, and at the same time, he has also played in the Champions League, and he naturally refuses to transfer to play in the League Cup.

Players like this who fight for their national team position in a football powerhouse and play the main team in the upper reaches of the five major leagues, when they transfer, the general condition is a stable Champions League opportunity, and to put it bluntly, they are a giant team.

If Parma were still in the late 90s, they would have no problem making an offer for McConn. But to quote McConn now is to be self-deprecating. You say you're the winner of the UEFA Cup? But what is the UEFA Cup in the eyes of the top players? Is it okay to eat? This kind of championship, for top players, if they don't win it for a lifetime, they won't feel how sorry they are, why should people care about it?

To paraphrase an advertising slogan, not every kind of champion is called attractive.

If you can't buy McConn, is it okay to buy someone else? Sevilla have Alves now and Auxerre have Sagna now, which are also top defenders, buy one, and the right side can also be very good. Although Alves' defense is a bit leaky, and Sania's attack is almost nothing to count on, the two of them, after all, have a skill and can be used very well.

However, Alves is worth 10 million pounds, a price that Liverpool is now arguing with them just after negotiating with them, and Li Bin really has no ability to interfere at this price. And Sagna, as a youth player of the old French academy Auxerre, in the hands of an old guy like Guy Luix, the price is not bad, if Li Bin wants to poach people, he can't stop without 5 million euros.

5 million is not considered expensive...... But in Li Bin's tactics, the right-back is responsible for attacking, while Sagna, as a defender, has the biggest problem of not attacking.

And now, Collodio has told him that he can sign Zabaleta.

"Have you seen this player? Look at what I asked, yes. What do you think of the captain of the World Youth Championship in Argentina, Zabaleta? ”

This name made Li Bin suddenly feel that he had found someone.

Indeed, Zabaleta's strength is also okay, and he has a balanced offense and defense, and his skills are better, compared to Sagna, who can only defend, he is obviously a person who is more in line with Li Bin's needs.

'Real Espanyol in La Liga seem to be contacting him. I can help you intercept this deal, Parma still have an advantage over the Spaniards after all......"

Collodio's words are not wrong at all, in addition to appearing as Barcelona's rivals, the Spaniards do not have many opportunities to appear at other times, speaking of Parma have more advantages, and the Serie A team has a large proportion of tactical skew towards defenders, which is also a big advantage.

Li Bin immediately made a judgment, "How much is this player?" ”

"No more than 4 million."

"Be sure to intercept it, this person, I bought it."

Li Bin immediately made a decision and finalized the deal.

Zabaleta has also paid attention to this player for a while before: after all, he is the captain of Argentina's national youth team, and Li Bin can't watch it without watching it. And he has always believed that this is a player with a lot of potential.

This player's overall strength is quite high - his skills are quite solid, crossing, breaking, playing, not bad in all aspects, and can play two wings, has the ability to play a jack-of-all-trades, runs aggressively, has a good attitude - such a player, the overall level is quite strong.

But his overall evaluation in Argentina is not very good. The reason is also very simple, people always think that he is the main player of Argentina Zanettibi, and if he compares like this, he will naturally suffer. But in Li Bin's opinion, his forward insertion ability, cross ability and shooting ability are quite good, and it can even be said that he has surpassed Argentina's main player, the current right-back Zanetti. It's just that he is not outstanding in terms of body and ball sense, and his one-on-one attack and one-on-one defense have been thrown away by Zanetti by more than one position - but Li Bin also feels that this comparison is unfair, after all, Zanetti is in the top three in these two aspects, even among all right fullbacks in history.

But these don't talk about it, just Zabaleta's performance: because of the consistency of the performance, but there is nothing special, he has always given people the feeling that he is decent, the lower limit is not low, but the ceiling is not high. Li Bin sometimes even thinks that he is also an enhanced version of Sun Jihe...... However, a strong team like Argentina can't look down on such a defender, but Li Bin likes such a balanced offensive and defensive player.

Compared with Alves, who only knows how to attack, and Sania, who can only defend, the right-back, who is balanced in attack and defense, can at least make the tactics change a little more. The two wings take turns to put pressure on the opposition's backline, which is much more versatile than just one wide kick.

If he is bought, then the left and right sides composed of Zabaleta and Barzaretti are not bad in Italy, and it can even be said that if they play well, they will not be weaker than the top three in the north.

Because of this, although the front waist has not been completed yet, Li Bin doesn't know if his money is enough, but he still decided to buy him - after all, this kind of good thing, it is difficult to find it if you miss it.

And soon, Claudio also gave him the answer, "There is no problem, 3.5 million got the deal." ”

After all, there are not many teams that offer Zabaleta, although Parma is not strong, but after all, it is also wide, and the Spaniards, who have been beaten by the city's rival Barcelona all the year round, are still a lot stronger. And Claudio has his own connections in South America after all, and this deal can be done without even Li Bin coming out.

Li Bin also understands a little that this has something to do with the fact that the World Youth Championships are approaching. After all, at the World Youth Championships, it is not easy to shine at full-back, but it is very possible to be embarrassed, which also makes his team willing to sell him before the game starts.

Moreover, Li Bin still has a rather dirty idea in his heart: this guy is really not handsome enough, which also affects his worth. In Argentina, he is still the captain of the national youth team, but his old face is known as the old man defender. Speaking of which, his predecessor, Argentina's current right-back Zanetti, although he is much older, he does not look old, and he is in good shape, but he is known as a young future......

The face is also very important, a player who is not handsome, there is no way to hype.

It's just that at this time, there is a more troublesome issue, that is, the issue of Zabaleta's Argentine nationality.

Although Zabaleta has Italian ancestry, at this time, he has not yet obtained an Italian passport, and if he wants to transfer, he has to occupy a non-European place. Li Bin knew that he had obtained an Italian passport, and his worth was only afraid that it would have to rise, and it would be difficult to buy it himself, so he wanted to get him as soon as possible. But for the non-European players, Li Bin wants to keep it for the front midfielder after all. However, Zabaleta's strength, he is really a little reluctant, and at this time, he also heard another news from Italy in Argentina - Prandelli officially took office in Fiorentina.

This made him think of a solution, and soon, he called Prandelli.

"You want my team to buy players on loan for you...... I just want our non-European quota. After listening to this, Prandelli understood what he meant, "I really don't have the idea of going abroad to buy people, after all, Florence is now seeking stability." There's nothing wrong with selling you non-European places, but there's one thing you have to do for me - Bresciano and Marchioni, these two people, you have to give me one. ”

"Bresciano is fine." Li Bin immediately agreed, "He was going to leave too." If you agree, I'll call Lukka and ask him to talk to you. Let's pay less for a non-European quota for you. ”

"Okay, if Luka is here, I'll discuss it with him."

After hanging up the phone, Li Bin also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally solved the problem.

When players transfer, the accumulation of contacts, in addition to finding people, is this role, a non-European place a year, everyone cherishes, but there are always some teams, they can't use it, at this time, you can try to let them buy players, lease to themselves - Serie A regulations, internal transfers do not occupy non-European - the top three in the north do this kind of thing every year, and Parma now does not have the ability of the top three in the north, and can only rely on personal relationships to facilitate such a deal.

Fortunately, this time Prandley helped him out, and he got through it proudly. It's just that next time, I don't know if Lu Dao will have such a good opportunity.

In the right-back position, he spent 3.5 million to buy Zabaleta, which can be regarded as reassuring Li Bin. However, this unexpected expense also made Li Bin's finances even more constrained.

3.5 million bought Zabaleta, 5 million bought Ag, plus other miscellaneous transactions, the forward and substitute strikers have not yet been settled, and 10 million has already entered, which makes Li Bin really feel a little distressed.

However, he does not regret it.

After all, the position of right-back is indeed short of talent, and in the whole of Italy, he can't find a few decent people, so he has to go outside to buy people. And Zabaleta is 20 years old, his ability is decent, and he is also on the rise, which also makes Li Bin feel quite satisfied.

After getting this player, his back line can be regarded as further strengthened. The backline of these four people can be trusted.

Cannavaro Jr. has improved more than Chiellini and Bonella in the past half season, he is just 24 years old, and after untying the knot, when he plays, his problems have changed a lot. After all, he is young now, with excellent physical fitness, and Li Bin has no intention of letting him play as a drag defender, that is, letting him be a marking central defender, and in this position, he is also playing better and better.

If his peak can come six years earlier, then his future will be better. Li Bin didn't expect Cannavaro Jr. to become a stronger defender than his brother - he didn't have that ability - but he will be a very good defender in the future if he is steady, not cheating, and can grow smoothly. Although he can't grow up to the world level, it is more than enough to play the main force in Serie A, and even the leader of the defense.

And the players who partnered with him, Danny Ager, Barzaretti, plus a Zabaleta, are also people who make Li Bin very satisfied.

The rest is the front court.

"Pacini, don't think about it, I won't sell it to you." On the phone, Prandley also made a simple answer, "I use this person quite appropriately." ”

Then it's troublesome, although Falcao is close at hand, but there is no non-European hukou, where can I find someone to work with?

Li Bin thought about it, but he could only find a trip to Collodio, "Help me keep an eye on Palacio, maybe I want to buy him." ”

"He's only been on the move for half a year, and Boca definitely won't sell it."

Li Bin shook his head, it's really not good, pay more money to let Boca release people.

After a round of investigation in South America, he couldn't find any treasures, so he was ready to go back to Europe.

Not back to Italy, of course, but to Croatia.
