Chapter 162: Dividing Ajax (Part I)
Leaving school today, so the update was late
"So, what do Fiorentina want to loan to Ajax 'for free'?" When Chairman Ark spoke, he emphasized the word "free", for fear that Zhuang Mingge would suddenly regret it.
"Eugenio Collini, and Giuliano Gianniqueda." Zhuang Mingge thought for a while and gave two candidates.
"This ...... I think we still need to talk to Coach Louis van Gaal. Jake also chose to forget about the quarrel with Van Gaal at this time, and gave this reply, "If our coach has no opinion, then this loan deal can be completed." ”
"Haode, then I'll wait for your good news, Chairman Ark." Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been accomplished, Zhuang Mingge stopped talking nonsense, got up to say goodbye, and left the Ajax club.
"Wait a minute, Michel (Van Praag)." In the chairman's office at Ajax, Jacques suddenly stopped Van Praag, who was about to leave.
"Is there anything you want me to do, Mr. President?" Van Praag stopped, feeling uneasy, could it be because he had overstepped his authority when he had just spoken to the Florentine?
'In a few days, if Fiorentina get in touch and convince the players to agree to continue playing at Ajax on loan, I'll leave it to you.
"Mr. President, this ......" Van Praag was stunned, this work should belong to the transfer department!
Before Van Praag could finish speaking, Jake raised a hand to stop him and said: "Although I have made irreparable mistakes in regulating the relationship within the club and dealing with players of colour, I can see that in this day and age, only a shrewd and flexible person like you can support the future of Ajax...... If you can save the club from the abyss this time, the position of chairman is yours. ”
As he spoke, Chairman Ark smiled self-deprecatingly and continued, "Maybe you've been dissatisfied with my pettiness for a long time, right? But don't forget that although Ajax is a big club in the Netherlands, it is generally a club that relies on developing players and then selling them at a high price, and if I hadn't done that, the team would have collapsed because of poor management. ”
"How could it be ......"
"It's true, Michelle, you haven't touched the financial side of the club, and every year the money from the sale of players by the club needs to be used to update the equipment, maintain the pitch and develop the players...... These expenses have already spent almost all of the club's revenue, and it is impossible to pay players high wages like the big four leagues here. ”
“…… I see, Mr. President. Van Praag was silent for a moment before replying.
……
Speaking of Zhuang Mingge's side, after leaving Ajax's headquarters, Zhuang Mingge called Antonioni and asked him to ask Colini and Gianni Keda if they were willing to join Ajax on loan.
"Tony, who are the players we are targeting in the Netherlands this time?" Seeing Zhuang Mingge put down the mobile phone in his hand, Karin asked.
Zhuang Mingge thought about it, Fiorentina has now sent away Colini and Gianni Keda two midfielders, and Montella on the front line is also about to transfer away, in this way, the original good bench depth of Fiorentina in the midfield has left a lot of vacancies, especially the substitute in the midfield, only Costa, Tacinadi and Tomasi are left, next season Fiorentina will have to fight on three fronts, if you rely on such a weak bench, you have to collapse across the board.
When it comes to this generation of Ajax's players of color, many of them have career trajectories that can be described as "driving high and going low", the most typical of which is Patrick Kluivert.
Kluivert's height, liliang, explosiveness, bounce, flexibility are very good, and his speed is also good, he can make many difficult ball control and scramble actions on the field, and his playing style is extremely tough, and he is not afraid of high-intensity physical confrontation.
But in addition to the applause and flowers that accompanied the goal, Kluivert's career was marked by repeated newspaper rapes, driving violations, nightclub and even brawls. As a result, in 2004, which should have been the peak of his career, the 28-year-old Kluivert was already in the middle of the big four leagues, and he retired after four years when he could not even guarantee playing time.
The same is true for others, such as Kanu, Finidy George, Reziger and others, who had some bright spots before the year 2000, but after 2000, their talents were worn out by their laid-back lifestyle and lazy training attitude.
Overall, among the Ajax players of color, the only players who can be called "Boar" Davis and Seedorf are the ones who can be called good starters.
Davies showed his top form during his time at Juventus and Barcelona, and he gradually withdrew from the eyes of fans due to his age. Not to mention Seedorf, who won the European Champions Cup with three different teams as a main player, and was able to play for AC Milan at the age of 35, speaks volumes about his professional attitude.
In terms of the player's individual ability and potential, Seedorf and Davies are obviously a cut above Collini and Gianni Keida, plus the current Serie A league has unparalleled appeal, and Fiorentina and Ajax can participate in the European Champions Cup next season, which can provide these former Ajax players with a chance to "take revenge", and also have a certain advantage in attracting these players to join. Therefore, Zhuang Mingge came to Ajax this time, and the main target was these two players.
"Let's visit Edgar Davies first and see what kind of attitude he has towards joining Fiorentina and sign him now if I can; Then we'll go to Clarence Seedorf. Zhuang Mingge thought about it for a moment and made his own judgment.
So, Zhuang Mingge asked Karin to take out the residential address of the Ajax player he got from Chairman Yak, found Davies's information from it, and then drove directly to visit his first target in the Netherlands, Edgar Davies.
