In a screening room at Juventus in Turin, Italy, two balding old men watch a video of Fiorentina's match against Inter Milan.

"Luciano, what do you think of the current Fiorentina team?" At the end of the video, Girawudo put down the cigar he lit and looked at the new general manager of Juventus.

"After the reconstruction, Fiorentina Jishu is delicate, solid defensively, and the players they have brought in this season have good potential, although occasionally there will be some mistakes due to the lack of experience of the players, but if this group of players is given time to run-in, Fiorentina will become Juventus' biggest opponent to dominate Serie A." Moji, who had just returned to Juventus as general manager, analyzed, and then the corners of Mo Lao Fox's mouth hooked up a little arc, "However, if you want to become our Juventus opponent, Fiorentina needs to be able to keep this group of players." ”

"It's Luciano, tell me what we should do...... Gilaudo smiled heartily when he saw Moji's expression, and the two obscene-looking old men muttered in this screening room.

……

"Great idea! Luciano, you're there! As long as that's the case, Fiorentina will have to sell a couple of players. Girawudo listened to Moji's thoughts, and his eyes narrowed with laughter, "In this way, you will be responsible for the transfer, and I will persuade the boss." ”

With that, the two old foxes smiled at each other and left the screening room together.

Giraúdo, Bertega and Luciano Moggi were later known to fans as Juventus' "Big Three". Girawudo has a shining example of business, with Bertega using his popularity as a player to expand Juventus' influence, while Moggi has a better understanding of the transfer market as a whole.

Giraúdo, who is the chairman of Juventus, has the least ties to football compared to Bertega and Moggi, and was the second largest shareholder after the Agnelli family before selling part of his stake to Gaddafi's son.

He chose a path that is considered original in Serie A, that is, the operation is completely market-oriented and professional, without asking for a penny from shareholders, and packaging the name "Juventus" completely as a commercial brand, and Juventus's later listing is due to his operation. If Moggi is a businessman who operates player transfers, then Girawudo is a businessman in the true sense of the word, and his biggest interest is to balance the budget and increase profits. With Giraúdo's management, Moggi has more money to buy players and Juventus can always make a profit.

However, Girausdo's management style of always chasing Juventus' profit maximization has caused a lot of criticism, starting with a charity fundraising match held by the club for the widow of the famous defender Shirea, who died in a car accident, but it was covered with a strong sponsorship color, and there was a lot of criticism in the football world for Girausdo's approach.

And his insistence on selling the television rights separately did not take into account the interests and even feelings of other clubs, and even did not hesitate to use the method of buying small clubs such as Messina to win the votes of the professional leagues to protect his own interests. Should Serie A adopt the model of the Premier League, Bundesliga and other leagues to collectively sell broadcast rights to ensure profits? Many journalists have tried to ask Girawudo this question, but the Juventus president's answer has always been: "I only think about the best interests of my club." ”

Moggie is the person who cooperates with Gilaudo the most tacitly in the "Big Three", and "insidious" and "cunning" are the evaluations given to him by Moji's opponents. In Italy, Moggi is quite a well-known figure, and Moggi, who has worked in the management of several teams in Italy, knows a lot about the transfer market, and Moggi's work largely determines the operation of Juventus FC. Although there have been loss-making businesses such as Salas and Kovacevic under Juventus under him, on the whole, Moggie's operation at Juventus has been successful, such as selling Zidane to introduce Nedved, selling Baggio to support Piero, and returning Lippi proves that Moggi is a smart man who knows his mistakes and changes. At the same time, under his and Girawudo, Juventus managed to maintain profitability for many years, and used the Agnelli family's huge influence in Italy and flexible diplomacy to make the club overtake Milan to become the number one club in Italy.

In contrast, Bertega's role in the "Big Three" is slightly smaller, he is the veteran of the club and the legend of Italian football. Juventus' European record for goals was held by Juventus before he was later surpassed by Piero. Bertega, who is the club's executive chairman and is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the club, is the perfect candidate for vice-president because he knows football and loves Juventus. It's no wonder that at Juventus, there are many things that need to be handled by Bertega, and the sinister and cunning Girawudo and Moggi will only be ostracized. And the former famous striker is also quite calm, not impatient, not ambitious, and his characteristics also determine his position as vice president of the club.

Giraoudo, Moggi and Betga, three people, three abilities, three roles, it is precisely because of the cooperation of the three of them that Juventus has such amazing results in later generations, of course, the "Big Three" unscrupulous pursuit of Juventus's interests The consequence is that the club's image was greatly affected after the "phonegate" incident in 06, even if it later regained the Serie A championship, it could not restore the trust of ordinary fans in it.

Soon, Zhuang Mingge received a call from Hercule Poirot, in which Poirot told Zhuang Mingge that Juventus' general manager Moggi wanted to buy Pesotho and Iuliano in a package for $5 million.

In fact, Poirot was still a little tempted when he received this offer, after all, it only cost the team $900,000 to bring in these two players last year, and the value has increased more than 5 times in less than a year, which is already very good.

However, Zhuang Mingge did not hesitate to reject the offer on the phone and told Poirot not to pay attention to Juventus' inquiry.

But just the next day, the president's office in Florence.

"Karin, what are you talking about?! Pesoto and Iuliano's agents say that Gianluca (Peeotto) and Marc (Iuliano) have intentions to move to Juventus? Zhuang Mingge, who has been in a good mood recently, rarely showed a loud decibel roar, but this kind of noise made the Florentine employees, who have been a little passive and slack off recently, instantly glow up their enthusiasm for work.

If it is a general transfer rumor about Fiorentina, even if the media renders it with a nose and eyes, Zhuang Mingge will not care at all, but such a news is related to Juventus, especially after Zhuang Mingge sternly rejected Juventus's offer, and Mogi, as the general manager of Juventus, happened to stay in Fiorentina at this time!

"30 million! Karin, you go and tell Moggie not to take Pexoto and Iuliano without shelling out 30 million dollars! ”

However, before Karin could walk out of the room, the phone in Zhuang Mingge's office rang.

Zhuang Mingge looked at the caller ID and found that it was actually his "cheap" father calling, so he motioned Karin not to leave and picked up the microphone.

"Father, how are you doing?"

"Antonio, I have seen your performance, I have also seen Fiorentina's performance this season, you have done very well for most of the year."

"Haha, thank you for your compliment, I'll do my best."

"However, regarding the transfer of the two young men, Pesoto and Iuliano, you can agree to it, and the family elders passed this resolution at the meeting yesterday."

“weishenme？ Didn't you say that my family wouldn't interfere with my actions in Florence for two years? Italy's hot and dry Mediterranean climate still made Zhuang Mingge's heart feel a chill, "What if I insist on refusing to let these two transfers?" ”

"Child, I hope you don't be so impulsive, because the Corleone family is under the guidance of the Agnelli family, and the Fiat Group is preparing to sign cooperation agreements with several refineries under the family, if the Corleone family controls Florence, Juliano and Pesoto, don't let go of any of them, you don't have enough strength to afford to destroy the relationship between the two families......" Michael Corleone's voice on the phone also looked very helpless, obviously not comfortable being coerced," At first, Umberto (Agnelli) was supposed to ask for Inzaghi and Di Biagio, but I sternly refused. Speaking of this, Michael Corleone also looked a little angry, "Just use business to blackmail players to transfer, do you still want the lion to poach all the hopefuls of Florence?" Umberto is too shameless! ”

"What a trick! I really underestimated Moji's old fox's city, and it seems that I can only agree to his terms now. Zhuang Mingge, who failed to slaughter the fat sheep but was severely attacked by Juventus, finally decided to sell the two defenders in frustration.

"Child, this time the family is sorry for you, if you have any conditions, just say it, and I will try my best to fight for you." Michael, the patriarch of the family, can only comfort his son in this way.

Condition? Zhuang Mingge smiled bitterly when he heard his father's words, at this time, even the transfer work of the club would be interfered with by those old antiques of the family, which made him have no intention of mentioning conditions at all.

"Father, my mind is messed up right now, and I need to think about it."

"Haode, even if it's a little out of line, I think the elders of the clan should agree, after all, they don't know how bad it will be for a team that has been honed into a form to suddenly poach half of the backline." As long as you are Italian, there is no one who does not watch football, and knows a little bit about football, so Michael Corleone is sure that the antiques in the family should compensate Zhuang Mingge for this behavior, "Call me when you think about it, my child." ”

"Father Haode, I see." Zhuang Mingge also understands that his "cheap father" has made a lot of efforts, and the loss of Pesoto and Iuliano is already the most promising result that can be obtained so far.
