Chapter 5 He has the final say
By the time Digan and Vincent Kompany return to Fiorentina, the Serie A season is looming, preceded by a Super Cup clash between Fiorentina and Inter Milan at the Stadio Frachi.
However, there are some trickier things waiting for Degan to deal with, in Fiorentina, it is known that there is the behind-the-scenes owner Delvare, as well as the executive chairman Pakinwa, the head coach Prandelli, but it is even clearer that the Purple Lily really has the final say.
This is the right of the team owner Drava to give Digan, for two seasons in a row, Fiorentina has frequently attacked the transfer market according to Digan's advice, fighting big with small ones, and has eaten enough benefits, even if the executive chairman Padinwa is not satisfied with the passage of power, he can only swallow his anger and watch Digan point fingers within his rights.
On the day of Digan's return to Fiorentina, the team's head coach Prandelli arrived at Digan's home, and he was confronted with a raft of offers from other clubs.
Fiorentina's crazy performances last season made all the players in the team a favorite in the eyes of other clubs, and even the team's number two goalkeeper, Lupatelli, had no shortage of suitors.
"Are they going to wipe out the team?" Deegan laughed and threw aside some of the transfer offers, some of whom had to be retained.
Prandelli is also annoyed these days, the team's executive chairman Pakinwa, comes to annoy him every day, and he can also see that Paginwa is tempted, to be precise, Delaware is tempted, and some clubs have made offers to some players in the team to the point where people can't refuse.
For example, Real Madrid bought Modric for 40 million euros, Barcelona bought Ledesma for 37 million, Inter Milan bought Motta for 20 million, and AC Milan bought Antonini and Abate for 23 million, and even some small teams sent offers to buy their favorite players.
"Do you really think of Fiorentina as a supermarket for the stars?" Deegan grimaced and tossed the offers aside.
Prandley also smiled wryly: "Rod! There are some things that we can't decide, and it's very rare that these offers can be saved for you to come back and decide! ”
Prandelli didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was already obvious, that is, to tell Digan that the reason why Fiorentina has not had a transfer deal so far is that Delava came to save face and abide by the terms stipulated in the original contract, but it is impossible to keep all the players from last season.
Deegan was also well aware of these things, but he couldn't understand it as he watched the team be torn apart: "Cesare! Are you really willing? ”
Prandelli shook his head: "Of course I am not reconciled, if the current Fiorentina can maintain a stable squad, in the next few years, or even ten years, there will be no existence in the entire European football world that can threaten us, but, Rod!" Let's face it, football is more important to us than life, but for Mr. De La Valle it is just a toy, and Fiorentina is just a toy in his hands. ”
"Damn it!" Deegan angrily grabbed the offer, wanting to tear it all apart.
At this time, Degan's mobile phone rang, and the previous step had already been reimbursed with Irina empathy, and Deegan had just changed one.
Deegan didn't expect it to be the team's executive chairman Pakinwa, who called him, and hung up the phone after chatting with a gloomy face.
"Pakinwa let's go to his office now, that shit, who does he think he is, does he really think he's a Florentine hero?"
Prandley smiled and patted Deegan on the shoulder: "Rod! Don't be mad about these things, alright! Let's go check and see what he has to say! ”
Degan drove Prandelli to the training base in Florence, where Paginwa was already waiting for them in the office, and when he saw Digan, Paginwa looked very enthusiastic.
"Rod! Congratulations, congratulations on winning the Olympic Games, it was a great competition and I knew from the beginning that no one could beat you! ”
Degan's enthusiasm for Parkinwa seems to be very cold, that's because this bastard is now thinking about breaking up his team, the previous two seasons, they worked together quite well, but Fiorentina's record is getting better and better, the player's value is getting higher and higher, the contradiction between the two people began to appear, Parkinwa hopes to cash out the players to bring greater benefits to the club, and Deegan hopes to maintain the stability of the squad and win more honors in the future.
After the end of last season, Parkinwa had this thought, but at that time Fiorentina had not won any titles, and Delavalai did not want to break up this newly formed team.
But now it's different, without Delaware's support, in the eyes of Pakinwa, Deegan is at best an influential player in the team.
"Let's get straight to the point! Mr. Parkinwa, I don't like to go around in circles, what do you want to do, aren't you waiting for me to come back and decide? You can say it now! Degan's tone was unkind.
Pakinwa frowned, and he was very dissatisfied with Degan's attitude: "Rod! Actually, you don't need to ask about these things, but Coach Prandelli said that the original contract stipulated that every transfer transaction of Fiorentina must be agreed to, okay! I have a lot of respect for the original contract and I have called you here today to inform you that there will be a big move in the transfer market recently! ”
Degan resisted the urge to kill Parkinwa with an electric cannon, and sneered: "Big move, is it going to open a supermarket in Florence, and then sell all the players at a clear price?" Very good! Mr. Pakinwa, I don't know how much you put a price on me, so I'd better discuss with my agent where to go next! ”
Pakinwa was commanded by Digan, his face was even more ugly, of course he wanted to let Digan get out, so that he could really control the power of Florence, but he knew that it was impossible, Florence could leave anyone, but Digan couldn't, Delavalai still valued Digan very much now.
"Rod! No kidding, everyone knows that you are the captain of Fiorentina, the leader, the flag, Fiorentina anyone can leave, but the club will never agree to any offer about you, even if a team is willing to contribute 100 million euros! ”
Pakinwa's flattery, Digan only felt a wave of disgust: "I really didn't think I was so important to the club, but what about the others!?" ”
Pakinwa knew that the drama was coming, and immediately changed to a helpless expression: "Rod! I hope you understand the club's struggles, yes! Every Fiorentina player was the hero of last season's treble, but the better the team is now, the more the players are demanding more and more treatment, and the club can no longer support it! ”
If it weren't for Prandelli dragging Degan's arm, Deegan would have slapped him in the face, and what kind of Parkinwa was talking about.
Florence can't make ends meet!?
Is this an insult to Degan's IQ, or is it shaking his wit.
Fiorentina won all of the titles last season, and Fiorentina made a lot of money in prize money, TV broadcast shares, various sponsorship contracts, and ticket revenue.
The annual salary of all the players in the club's first team after tax is only more than 60 million euros, such a treble-winning team, among all 20 teams in Serie A, is also tightly ranked in the middle, compared to Inter Milan's casual annual salary of more than 200 million euros after tax, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
Last season, Fiorentina's income totaled several times the annual salary bill, and Paginwa dared to cry poor in front of Digan.
Digan didn't speak, waiting for Pakinwa to finish the play.
Pakinwa continued: "I think you can understand all these financial pressures, so I want ~~~~~~"
"Sell players for cash!" Degan interrupted Paginwa, and then added, "But Mr. Paginwa, have you considered what kind of impact it will have if you break up the main framework of the current team, have you considered the results of the team?" ”
Parkinwa is very disdainful of Digan's question, what honors, what championships, what achievements, are all false, and making money is the real last word.
"That's the key reason I'm coming to you, Rod! You're the only one who has God-given eyes now, haven't we been doing that for the past two seasons? Buying young players at a low price, I think it's time to reap the rewards, and it's obviously better for the club to work like this, and it can ensure the financial health! ”
Digan listened and couldn't help but be angry, does this bastard think he is omnipotent? Is a good player a cabbage? It is true that Deegan knows a lot of excellent young people who no one has yet discovered, but to bring in a young player, it is not only necessary to see his future development, but also to see whether the opponent is suitable for Fiorentina's tactics, such as David. Silva, before the beginning, Fiorentina had every chance to bring in, but David. Silva is not suitable for the current tactics of Fiorentina, and Digan can only reluctantly part with love.
"You think I can do it all, don't you?" Degan's anger was already showing signs of being uncontrollable.
Pakinwa didn't want to rub his tongue with Degan anymore, and said bluntly: "Rod! I have to think for the club, and now will be some of these players, to be able to guarantee the best interests of the team! ”
Digan couldn't help sneering when he heard this, and he didn't plan to save face for the other party anymore: "Mr. Paginwa, I also ask you to make one thing clear, who has the final say on the transfer work of Florence!" ”
When Pakinwa heard this, her face darkened: "What do you mean! ”
Deegan stood up: "It's not interesting, I'm just doing things according to the contract, Mr. Pakinwa, have you ever played football?" Have you won any honors? What qualifications do you have to dictate to my rights, you better figure it out, I am the one who leads the players on the field, I am the one who wins the honor for this team, the person who commands this team is Cesare, you are not qualified to decide anything within our rights! ”
Seeing that Digan suddenly tore his face without warning, Pakinwa said angrily: "Mr. Wright, you better know who you are talking to!" ”
Deegan said indifferently, "You're threatening me now, aren't you?" Of course, if you want to bypass me and break up this team, you have another way, which is to label me and sell me like a commodity, otherwise, you don't want to make any deal without my consent, that's it! You guys sitting in the office, you think you can control everything, and now I'm going to tell you, you're wrong, you're wrong, you can't decide anything! ”
Deegan turned around and left, Prandelli followed behind him and left, during the time when Deegan was not there before, he was also holding his breath, as long as he was the head coach, no one wanted his team to be torn apart.
After Deegan and Prandelli left, Pakinwa, who reacted, flew into a rage and swept everything on the table to the ground.
After venting, Pakinwa called Drava as soon as possible and told him what had happened.
Delawalai was silent for a long time before he said, "Forget it!" ”
"Nope! Boss! This matter can't be left like that, Fiorentina is your asset, you can't let a small player do anything, I've seen those offers, as long as we can complete the deal, we can at least earn hundreds of millions of euros! ”
Delaware's heart was also holding his breath, when he recruited Degan, although he was able to be a corporal of Lixian, but when the team reaped the honor, he was thinking more about interests, and he is now regretting that he should not have agreed to Degan's conditions in the first place, and getting this is simply a cocoon.
Of course, De La Vale can instruct Pakinwa to sell Digan, and there is no shortage of buyers for Degan anyway, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and Inter Milan are all potential big sellers, and Real Madrid even opened the price to 100 million euros.
But if he did, De La Valle could imagine that the angry Fiorentina fans would tear him apart.
Delawalai doesn't want to fall out with Deegan completely, and if he does, it won't do him any good.
"That's it! Don't say it, this matter is over, and the transfer work will still be in charge of Prandley and Degan in the future, for the time being, so be it! ”
Drawala hung up the phone, although Parkinwa was still angry, but he also heard the meaning of Drawalai's words, so be it for the time being!
"Damn bastard, let's see how long you can get complacent!"
