"You're an interesting guy and if there's something you need to do in England in the future, Manchester United might be able to do you a favor. You can come to me, I'm Martin Ferguson. When Manchester United's scouts left, they gave Li Bin a business card. Although his mission failed, he still left with good grace.

Martin Ferguson, Manchester United's chief scout, Ferguson's younger brother - Li Bin certainly knows him. He could see that Martin Ferguson's overture meant it, and although he thanked him, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now is not the time to go to England, I am in Italy and there is still a lot to do.

In his previous life, he could no longer believe that after his death, he would encounter such a thing as a crossing. And he couldn't believe that after experiencing the perennial serious illness and dying in his previous life, and seeing the warmth and coldness of those people, the ambitions of his previous life and the idea of making great achievements in the business world could not be mentioned at all in this life. Maybe others crossed over to get a start-up capital, but after he crossed over, he chose to put aside the business he was obsessed with in his previous life and chose to devote himself to the career he loved.

Fortunately, when he crossed over to this world, he was a teenager, and everything could start again, so he chose the football industry that he loved deeply in his previous life, but did not have the opportunity to engage in.

He was a little old when he crossed over, and his health was not good, so he was not suitable to be a player, but he devoted himself to coaching without hesitation. Facts have proved that he is also talented in this industry, and ten years have passed, and he can be regarded as a little accomplishment, and now he is obviously more happy with it, although he does not have a lot of wealth.

Although the days of this life, compared with the previous life, seem to be far less successful than the previous life, but it is obviously more gratifying to help others in this way and see that a promising young man has not gone astray, compared to making money and becoming famous.

Li Bin thought in his heart, and walked home with a smile, today, he has other things to do.

"Happy birthday, Lee."

Sure enough, when he returned to his home, his friends were already waiting for him. It's their thirtieth birthday, how could they not be here?

"It doesn't look like you're surprised, why, you got the news in advance?" Borg was at the forefront of the crowd, and he immediately saw that Li Bin's expression was obviously different from what he imagined.

Li Bin patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "You have been planning for more than half a month, and the people who come are all from the club, looking for me to engage in tandem under my nose, how can I not know the way?" I'm the director of the youth training base, how can this kind of thing be hidden from me? ”

"It's been said a long time ago that it can't be successful." Behind Borg, a short man muttered.

"Shut up, Lorenzo, it's just that you don't keep your mouth shut."

Voices were heard from the crowd immediately.

"Well, anyway, I'm grateful that you're here to celebrate my birthday." Li Bin interrupted their argument and also picked up the wine glass beside him, "I'm very happy to see so many people coming. As we all know, I am alone in Italy, I don't have any relatives, I am very busy with work, and I don't have many friends, but I am very happy that the whole club sees me as family, and you can celebrate my birthday on my birthday, which is very touching. May our friendship last forever, cheers! ”

"Cheers!"

People also raised their wine glasses, and at this time, Li Bin also looked at the people inside.

There aren't actually many people in the family. Of course, the team's physical trainer Borg and his wife Nadia, goalkeeper coach Piazza, plus his assistant Esposito, these people are definitely here - they are all Li Bin's best friends, and it is impossible for them not to come. But the rest of the people......

The lawn caretakers, the team's masseurs, the laundry workers, the locker room caretakers, these people came, the team's players, and a few friends who knew each other on a daily basis also came, but the rest of the team's scouts and coaches were almost non-existent.

The trees are falling and scattering...... The team is now under trusteeship, and the people in the team are naturally making their own living. At this time, it can be seen whether the friendship is thick or not.

"Li, someone from the city government has already come today." Seeing that Li Bin finished greeting the guests, Borg also whispered in a place where no one was, "Team hosting, I'm afraid it's imperative." ”

"Isn't this already known?" Li Bin nodded and greeted his colleagues around him, but still whispered to Borg, "What is the result of the inventory?" Isn't it going to be immediately cleared and auctioned? ”

"The team's arrears are not much, only 77 million euros, and the market value of our team is 60 million, so it will not collapse immediately," Borg whispered, "We haven't reached Fiorentina yet." ”

"What if it doesn't? The heyday of the seven sisters of Serie A has finally passed. ”

Li Bin's words made Borg sigh as well.

In the 90s, Serie A was at its peak, with seven teams making a difference in Europe and being known as the Seven Sisters of Serie A. However, over the years, the seven sisters of Serie A have gradually declined. Two years ago, Fiorentina owner Gauci was declared bankrupt, and Fiorentina went bankrupt and was relegated to the C2 league, which opened the prelude to the fall of the seven sisters of Serie A one after another. The top three teams in the north are rich and unmoving, but the other four teams are all unsustainable.

Roma have the Sensi family behind them, although they are also very good at selling players, but they can still support themselves, but Lazio is already insolvent, and with the withdrawal of former owner Cragnoti, they have to sell players to make ends meet.

And now, it's Parma's turn. And they hit hard, because the blow was not against their team, but at the company behind them, the parent company of the Parma team, the Palmarate Group.

The Parmalat group was accused of accounting problems, the owner of the company, who is also the chairman of Parma, Tanzi, was arrested for economic cases, and the Palmarat building was about to collapse, and Parma, as one of the subordinate companies, was also entrusted by the municipal government.

"Now they're putting all their energy on Palmalat and no one cares about us. A few days ago, Fausto Tonna, the treasurer of the Parmalat Group, and the company's lawyer, Chini, were also arrested, and it is already the eleventh to be arrested, so it is better to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river like Alessandro Brazil...... "Borg whispered, "Two days ago, the bank in New York said that our company's 3.9 billion liquidity with them does not exist, and at this time, the debt has reached 14.3 billion, and the prosecutor in Milan said that the estimated total debt may reach 16 billion." 16 billion, compared to them, what is the club's 77 million arrears? ”

Li Bin didn't say anything, just picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine, "Don't be nosy, as long as our 77 million debt remains unchanged." Our team's profits, even if they are not off the books, it is enough to repay some interest. ”

"I don't know if it's okay or not, Mr. Balaldi said that it can be maintained, but whether it works or not, I'm afraid there will be no big names in the future. Moreover, in the team, there is also a little impetuous, everyone who should go is gone, and now Bonella and Gilardino have been very close to Milan recently, and there may be problems...... What's that expression on your face? ”

"It's nothing, I just want to laugh when I think of Bonella in Milan...... Don't worry too much, Tanzi is unlucky, it was caused by Berlusconi, the more they make trouble at the top, the more they have to be quiet, and now Milan is too late to avoid suspicion, it is impossible to poach our people. ”

Palmaratt fell, and it was rumored that the person behind this was Berlusconi - who let Tanzi's stupid investment in the TV industry, wanting to share this part of the profits, touched the foundation of Berlusconi's money, how could Berlusconi spare him? Silvio Berlusconi is now the president of Italy...... Palmalath, naturally, is finished.

"That being said, but then again, the Parmalat group has collapsed, and Parma will certainly not last long. Li, you have also seen, how many people are missing here today, no one is a fool, everyone can see clearly what the future holds, before Parma received investment from the Parmarate Group, but it was not even a first-class team, there is not much way out to stay here, do we really have to wait another year? Borg whispered to him, "Hanging from a tree is not a clear choice, especially since you have your abundant resources. The most valuable thing about this team is its network of football schools and scouts. And these things are built up with your efforts, if you leave here and go elsewhere, you can also take these rich contacts and networks with you, so that it is not difficult for those teams that have a friendly relationship with you to change a partner, these schools are your capital, and the network of 65,000 trainees is your capital, and you should make good use of them. It's hard for me to say that, and I want to stay at Parma – but Parma is really finished, we have to think about what we want to do in the future, we can't be buried with the team, right? Wherever you go, you can get the position of head of youth or director of scouting, you don't have to stay here. ”

"When you talk like that, someone has contacted you and wants to poach us?"

"The top three in the north all have this intention, and you don't know the way." "Milan have promised to invest in your academy, but I don't really trust Galliani's words. And Juventus are willing to let you be the transfer manager, and obviously, Moggi also realizes that it is time for Juventus to change blood. However, it is Inter Milan who are the most credible, after all, they are more credible than those two in terms of character, and they are indeed more willing to invest in youth training. Lee, you know for yourself that this scouting network needs investment to maintain, and if Parma reduces its investment, this network will gradually die. Now that Parma is finished, we need new nourishment to support it, and the top three in the north are the best choice. ”

"Hertz, you're getting something wrong. Even if this network is even dead, it is not a problem, which schools in the whole world have cooperated with us, and which coaches in which schools have been trained by us, do you think I don't know the way? What is the level of football in every country, what is the level of football in every region, what is the state of training, how to operate the recruitment, I bet, I know it better than anyone else. I don't need those networks to improve my value at all, and the connections I've built up in the past six years, as well as the experience I've gained in dealing with football affairs, are my most valuable assets. Wherever I go, I can easily pull up the logistics system, I have no doubt about that. "However, there are other reasons why I don't want to leave – I'm a coach, and I want to be a coach rather than a scouting director or youth director." I've done enough in management and I want to be a manager now – that's my 30th birthday wish. ”
