Chapter 1144: After the Winter Break (7)

PS1: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

“…… Francesca, what are you talking about? For Francesca's friend's request, Zhuang Mingge was obviously embarrassed to refuse, after all, the other party did not ask him to arrange Fiorentina to deliberately send points in the next league, just hoping that he could restrain the team and not win too hard in this game, "Although Parma's current strength is far less than in previous seasons, with your player configuration, it is not easy for us to win Parma." Not to mention anything else, just the Brazilian striker named Adriano in your team, I think he has the style of Vieri in the game, don't be so arrogant, okay? You have to have a little bit of confidence in your team, Francesca. ”

“…… Don't fool me, Antonio. Francesca sighed and continued, "I'm not the idiot of Enrique [referring to former Sampdoria boss Mantovani Jr.] who doesn't know anything and has to get around, I know all too well about Parma's current situation. Yes, these players do have a lot of potential, and if they go well, many of them could become first-line stars in future football, but that doesn't mean Parma have the quality to compete with Fiorentina right now. Whether it is in terms of teamwork or individual ability, we have a big gap with you. And you who have just lost to Roma will definitely give it their all in this game, and then it will be our Parma who will be unlucky. ”

"Well, I have to admit that you have a point. But then again, although I can directly agree to your request, as the president of Florence, it is difficult for me to explain it to my subordinates, especially Heynckes. Every time he talks to Francesca about football, Zhuang Mingge feels that the other party's luck is really bad, and the time when he took over the control of Parma from the old Tanzi coincided with the economic crisis of the Tanzi family.

"Antonio, I know this request of mine will make it difficult for you to do. So, in return for your help, I am willing to sell half of the ownership of Luca Chigarini and Giuseppe Rossi in the youth team to Fiorentina for a relatively low price. Although in most Italian clubs, the head coach does not have much say in these matters, Francesca, who knows Zhuang Mingge well, knows very well that the other party is an outlier. Therefore, after hearing Zhuang Mingge's reply, Francesca on the other end of the phone immediately gave the remuneration she had already thought of.

Francesca, who was born in a business family, of course knew that since she asked Zhuang Mingge to help her, she had to give the other party certain benefits in other aspects. Otherwise, I don't think anyone would agree to help me without asking for anything in return.

Some people may ask, is there something wrong with Francesca's brain? Just to save Parma a few fewer goals in the game (and that's just a possibility), and sell the two Academy stars they have worked so hard to develop to Fiorentina at a low price?

Let's not forget, Parma are not the team they were a decade ago and could burn money with Parmalat's financial backing. With Parmalat in financial crisis, the Milk Army is now a thing of the past, having to rely on reselling players to make ends meet. Therefore, if they lose too badly in this match in Fiorentina, then the market will lower the evaluation of their players, which will have a negative impact on Parma's earnings.

It's not impossible, considering that after Barcelona's 4-0 defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League final, the value of its players plummeted by more than half. For Parma, who run a small business, of course, they try to avoid such a situation.

And, most importantly, Francesca is also telling Zhuang Mingge in a relatively tactful way that Parma is willing to cooperate with Florence in more aspects - which means that after Parmalat's huge financial deficit was made public by Deloitte at the end of last year, Francesca, who has been trying to persevere, finally can't stand it. Because she knew that if nothing else, the Tanzi family and its Parmalat company would have no room to turn around from this moment onwards!

So, after learning of the crisis that Parmalat is currently facing, Francesca, who recognized the situation, immediately decided to seek refuge under the Florentina banner in order to save himself and the Parma club.

After all, Fiorentina are much more gentle in their approach than the top three in the north, and never treat their satellite clubs badly, such as Vicenza and Monaco.

Regarding Francesca's proposal, Zhuang Mingge readily agreed after thinking about it. After all, Fiorentina II have been very vigorous in Serie B this season, although defender Gambellini was promoted to the first team during the winter break, and the arrival of Bovo, Rosina and others has greatly supplemented the reserve of the second team, so that Mourinho has more resources to call upon. But this also means that these players will not stay in the second team for long, so it is necessary to bring in more young and promising players.

"By the way, you told me last year about a $50 million loan to Parma...... I'm going to agree. As if worried that Zhuang Mingge could not read the meaning of her move, Francesca added another sentence before ending the call. After all, Francesca, who is hell-bent on turning Parma into a big club, is no small blow and will need plenty of time to adapt to the change.

At the same time, Zhuang Mingge, who realized the meaning of Francesca's words, excitedly waved his fist in the office. Because he knew that after Parma invested in Fiorentina, the potential resources of the club, which had been carefully run by the Tanzi family for more than ten years, especially the youth system that made Zhuang Mingge salivate and allowed Parma to continue to exist in Serie A after the bankruptcy of Parma in the previous life, will henceforth be owned by Fiorentina!
