Chapter Eighty-Eight: Pirlo's Cultivation Plan (I)
Since Antonioni is also responsible for the acquisition of Dinamo Zagreb, and Kenyon and Poirot also have a lot of work to deal with urgently, so as the only "idler" in the club, Zhuang Mingge had to go to Brescia in person to negotiate the transfer of Pirlo with the other party's owner.
"Andrea [Pirlo] is the future of our Brescia and we are not going to sell him." When Zhuang Mingge asked Brescia's boss, Luigi Corioni, about Pirlo's price, the boss looked awe-inspiring.
Cut, who are you fooling? Later, after Baggio retired, Brescia was relegated immediately, wasn't it because you sold a lot of key players all at once? Why didn't you say at that time that these players were the future of Brescia? Zhuang Mingge secretly despised this sanctimonious Chairman Corioni in his heart.
However, it is only natural that this situation will occur, and in the case that both parties are not in a hurry, it is the normal process of transfer work to ask for a sky-high price and pay back the money on the spot.
'For the sake of our friendship between the two clubs, I'm willing to trade half of the ownership of Federico Jonty in our first team for Pirlo, and once the deal is done, Jondy can play for Brescia. Zhuang Mingge smiled slightly and gave his own offer.
"No, no, you and I are very clear about Andre's value, although his potential has not been fully exploited now, it is by no means something that can be exchanged for half of Jondy's ownership." Corioni was not stupid either, and immediately raised the price, "Federik Jonti, add another $2 million." ”
"It's impossible, although Jonte is a substitute for Fiorentina's first team, but the newspaper Sport also values him at $700,000, and $2.7 million to buy a player under the age of 16? If this news were to be published, football workers all over Italy would take me for a fool. Having lived in Italy for more than a year, Zhuang Mingge now has a good understanding of the price in the transfer market, "I exchanged all the ownership of Jonty for Pirlo, this offer is already very fair, Brescia can get an instant power booster, we get Pirlo, we are all happy." ”
"I think it's better to be like this......"
……
After a morning of negotiations, although Brescia's boss Coriooni was optimistic about Pirlo's future, he finally agreed to Zhuang Mingge's offer. After all, in the face of Zhuang Mingge's generous conditions, he couldn't think of any reason to refuse, who was not strong.
The final offer was to take full ownership of Federico Jonti and loan Giuliano Giannikeda to Brescia until the end of the season. At the same time, Zhuang Mingge promised that Fiorentina would give priority to the loan of the players they were ready to "loan" to Brescia under the same conditions. For a team like Brescia that has been fighting for relegation for many years, being able to loan some quality players from a team like Fiorentina will be a big help to the club's relegation cause.
When Andrea Pirlo heard that he was going to play with Zhuang Mingge to Fiorentina, although he could not hide his excitement, to Zhuang Mingge's surprise, Pirlo, who was not yet 16 years old, showed the ability to adjust mentally to his age, and the young player quickly calmed down from his excitement.
"Mr. President, I thank Florence for being able to appreciate me personally." "But I still want to know how the team positions me in the future, just as a bench player? Or a rotation player? Or ......"
"Andre, I am personally very optimistic about your development, and our general manager even said that your talent can even be compared to Brazil's Pele." Zhuang Mingge interrupted the gushing Pirlo, and he could see that although the little Pirlo, who was only a minor now, was calm on the surface, he himself was still a little uncertain about the unknown future in Florence.
"What?! Bailey? Is that the football king Pele? Pirlo Jr. was completely shocked this time, he never thought that Fiorentina would think so highly of himself and compare himself to the king of the ball.
Because Pirlo was too excited, Zhuang Mingge had to signal the other party again to calm down.
"So, when you come to Fiorentina, I want you to be able to use Pele as a model for yourself, and the team will also find you some dedicated 'teachers' to strengthen all aspects of your training, including the use of jishu, the running position during the game, etc...... I'm not a professional footballer, but I think it's going to be a boring and hard time. Andrey, I ask you, are you able to receive this level of training? ”
After hearing Zhuang Mingge's words, little Pirlo gritted his teeth, was ruthless, and said, "No problem! ”
"Andrea, welcome to Florence!" Zhuang Mingge heard Pirlo's determination from his words, and shook hands with him with a smile.
In Italy, the transfer process for youth players is relatively simple, and young players under the age of 16 like Andrea Pirlo have no time limit on the issue of "transfers" because they can only sign youth contracts with the team.
In this way, Andrea Pirlo, who was once regarded as Bagio's successor, quietly arrived in Florence, and at this time, no one, including Zhuang Mingge, realized how high Pirlo had reached in the future.
……
In Zhuang Mingge's mind, Andrea Pirlo plays an important role in the future Milan team, and he is determined to find him a few "famous teachers" who can discover his football talent.
However, this process of finding a famous teacher made Zhuang Mingge know what it means to be "easy to know but difficult to do". In the process of "searching" famous teachers, he felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and even as a loyal fan of CM and FM, he did not have a strong memory.
The head coach of the Fiorentina youth team naturally did not know what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of his immediate boss. After a trip to Brescia, the chairman brought back a young striker under the age of 16.
This is a transfer that Mr. Chairman personally operated! Such a move should show that Mr. Chairman attaches great importance to this young player. But what made the youth team coach a little puzzled was that the young president, who single-handedly pulled Fiorentina ashore from the quagmire of the second division, said to himself "Give Andrea (Pirlo) a free training environment" and then left the player named Pirlo alone, and instead hid in the office with his beautiful secretary to do something.
"Well, these people should be enough to be Pirlo's teacher." Zhuang Mingge wiped the sweat on his head, looked at the results of his and Karin's efforts in the past two days, and said with some emotion.
"Tony, you're so optimistic about this young player?" Karin was a little puzzled, after all, there are many excellent young people in the Fiorentina team, but she has never seen Zhuang Mingge care about any player as much as Pirlo.
"Because Andrea Pirlo is a player that allows me to build him into a football superstar like Real Madrid's Stefano, Manchester United's Sir Charlton Athletic, Bayern's Beckenbauer!" Zhuang Mingge said confidently.
I have a dream that when the fans think of Fiorentina, it is not Antonioni's pathos that comes to mind, but Barty's loyalty and Pirlo's elegance......
