……
The 33-year-old Carnevale is the first player to be recommended after Zhuang Mingge returned from Qatar.
Zhuang Mingge has never doubted Carnevale's personal ability, and the only thing he is worried about is whether Carnevale's physical function will decline too quickly after nearly two years of prison life.
However, through the introduction of the prison warden, it seems that this concern can also be dispelled, and I believe that the basic state can still be maintained if I have the opportunity to appear in the amateur league of the prison system all the time. In Italy, a football country, an amateur league of this nature, the organization and arrangement of all aspects are still very formal.
In Zhuang Mingge's limited "memory", after being released from prison, Carnevale briefly played for a few seasons in some small clubs, until he received an invitation from the owner of Udinese to serve as a full-time scout for Udinese, and then announced that he would hang up his boots. In this way, Carnevalé's ability to maintain a certain condition after his release from prison is very closely related to his "training" in the Italian prison league.
Although Zhuang Mingge is not very clear about the prison league, he still remembers the fact that Carnevale can still participate in the Italian professional league after being released from prison, which is also an important reason why he remembered the former Italian international when Crown Prince Al Thani asked Zhuang Mingge to "help".
Of course, there is another reason why Zhuang Mingge has a chance, that is, he remembers such a "past" about Carnevale: after being released from prison, Carnevale once found the Roma and Napoli clubs he once played for, and asked the club to give him a job, but was ruthlessly rejected by the management of the two clubs.
The reason for the refusal of the Roma club was that Carnevalle gave the national team manager a classic "fuck you" in front of the fans and the whole Shijie TV audience in front of the fans and the Shijie TV audience in 1990. However, for this statement of the Roma club, some Italian media pointed out at that time that it was completely untenable for Rome to throw out such a reason, because during the Shijie Cup, a certain Roma senior executive publicly stood up to support Carnevale's approach, and the Roma senior management believed that it was precisely because of the "Milanese" Italian coach Vecchini's conservative tactics and cronyism that caused the outspoken Carnevale to "feel it".
As for Napoli, the reason for rejecting Carnevale was even more amusing, and they arbitrarily believed that Carnevale, who had a history of "drug possession", was one of the main culprits of Maradona's drug addiction, a highly imaginative reason that was once laughed at at the time.
Since Carnevale's two old "clubs" don't want him anymore, then, Zhuang Mingge, who originally belonged to an outsider on this issue, has the opportunity to take the initiative to intervene, although Carnevale's competitive state after two years in prison is certainly far less than before, but as long as his basic ability as a strong center forward is still there, with his fame, he should be able to find a place for him in the Qatari "amateur" league, not to mention that he is a "free" player who does not need to pay any transfer fees, Qataris will love it.
During his time in Qatar, he was able to secure enough work to support his family during his time in Qatar, and he was grateful to Zhuang Mingge and Fiorentina, who introduced him to the job. After all, in Zhuang Mingge's Jihua, Fei is not just to recommend Carnevale to play in the Qatar League and earn a "referral fee", but the value of Carnevale is not limited to this.
In Zhuang Mingge's memory, Carnevale, who later worked as a scout and manager in Udinese, achieved very good results, and he broke out again with amazing energy after getting rid of the entanglement of drug dealers. It can be said that the sudden rise of Udinese in Italian football at the end of the 90s, the resolute Carnevale is definitely a big contributor.
In Zhuang Mingge's view, it is a pity to miss such a rare "renewable" player, and he will be a figure who can be trained in the future. More importantly, in Zhuang Mingge's impression, the north-south division of Italian football is very serious, for example, in many cases, a talented player appears in the south, and even if the northern team wants to bring it in, it will be difficult due to the obstruction of the player's club. Carnevalle is a star player who grew up in southern Italy, if the future Fiorentina can recruit him, it will achieve certain positive results in this regard, and even if Carnevale has the ability, in Zhuang Mingge's view, he can become one of Fiorentina's right-hand men to open up the southern Italian market.
So then Zhuang Mingge moved to reason, and Karin knew it, but these words had little effect in front of the prison warden who kept saying that he wanted to adhere to the "principle", and Zhuang Mingge had no choice but to take off the disguise of "just to visit Carnevalé" and said the true purpose of his trip:
"Mr. Prison Director, I think that if it were because of you that Carnevale lost the opportunity to work after his release, I think you might become a sinner in the whole Second Prison."
The prison warden is not a vegetarian either, he had vaguely doubted Zhuang Mingge's real motive for visiting Carnevale from the beginning, and now he finally forced the other party to tell his true intentions, and this prison warden was not a little proud
"Are you saying Andrea [Carnevale] has any hope of joining Fiorentina?"
After Zhuang Mingge saw that he was telling his true intentions, the prison warden finally expressed something, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he replied with a smile when he regained the initiative:
"Hehe, Mr. Warden, you won't forget that it's already February, and the door to the winter transfer has long been closed...... I came to visit Andre mainly to invite him to play in the Qatari League, and the Qatar Football Association believes that Andre has the quality to shine in their league...... Don't look at me so weirdly, the salary offered by the Qataris is very good, and as far as I know, the 42-year-old Uncle Mila has been offered a contract with a salary of $1 million a year...... Mr. Prison Director, do you think Andre, who is in dire need of money to support his family, needs this job? ”
"I see, that's great, thank you very much for bringing this good news to Andrei."
"However, I am curious that you don't want Andrei to return to Rome?"
The prison warden was very unimpressed by Zhuang Mingge's question:
"Rome? What did Andrey go there for? The Club of Rome is full of ungrateful, bridge-splitting guys. ”
Zhuang Mingge looked at the prison warden who suddenly became indignant in surprise:
"Your Excellency isn't going to be a Lazio fan, is it?"
In response to Zhuang Mingge's question, the warden took off his uniform very cooperatively, and it was a sky-blue Lazio jersey inside.
Zhuang Mingge was embarrassed, he was very glad that he was fortunate not to arrange Lazio just now.
Zhuang Mingge and Karin then followed the Lazio labeled warden to Carnevalé's place of recuperation...... PS: Ask for clicks, ask for favorites, ask for recommended votes...... Let's not be blown up!!
