Chapter 155: A Peerless Gamble
To say that Galliani has been in charge of Milan for so many years, the old man is indeed courageous, after experiencing the completely different performance of Milan in the two legs of the triangle, listening to Li Byrne's analysis, the second day after returning to Milan City, that is, on August 26, the old man made a decision, and then went into the transfer market.
It is now 7:30 a.m. on September 5, 1997 Beijing time, and 12:30 a.m. Milan time, Italy.

AC Milan sacked coach Fabio. Fabio Capello, sign Brazilian coach Zagallo!
There are 9 days left to start the new season, and the countdown to the closing of the transfer window is 3 days, and the city of Milan is shaking! Many people in the industry don't understand what AC Milan is doing at all, selling a central defender and buying a central defender, selling a striker and buying a striker, selling a forward and buying a striker, and the full-back is one in two! Even Capello, the team's meritorious coach who had brought AC Milan four championships in five years and led Real Madrid to win the La Liga championship last season, who had just signed two months ago, was fired!
The football media all over the world went crazy, but the journalist frenzy had just been ignited, and then Capello's remarks added fuel to the fire:
"I don't understand what the team thinks! Is Galliani an old fool?! The team went to China to participate in a commercial match, just a young player who may join the team next year, Galliani actually listened to the Bible, and as soon as he came back, he plunged his head into the transfer market like an ostrich! He didn't even ask me as a manager to change my team beyond recognition! To know Cruz, Ibrahima. Bardus just joined the team last season, oh my God! The world is crazy! Even if Galliani is crazy himself, Berlusconi is actually crazy with him! All I can say is, if you want to have fun, go ahead! I'm not going to be with you! I'm going to see what the hell Milan can do this season! Last season they finished 11th in the league, and this season, hehe!"
Compared with Capello's righteous indignation, Galliani only blocked the reporters' mouths with an official answer: "The team is currently in conflict with former head coach Fabio. Fabio Capello has completed his contract and the club is grateful for the hard work and accolades he has brought to the team over the past few days. Given Milan's poor results last season, which was unacceptable as one of the best and oldest clubs in the world, this season the club has learned the hard way and decided to make a drastic change. For the players who have left the club, we are still grateful, thank you for having you, it's not that you are bad, but the change in the team's style of play needs to be realized by the new players we buy, and I believe that AC Milan will regain its take-off under the leadership of the new head coach Zagallo. Thank you all for your interest and see you in the new season!"
Galliani left in a hurry, leaving no chance for the reporters in the audience to continue asking questions. When reporters were worried that this big news could not continue to dig, the Chinese Football League A League that began in the second half of the season on September 7, after Guangzhou Sun God defeated Guangdong Hongyuan 2:1 away, Chinese reporters seized the opportunity, holding the baton in their hands, they surrounded Li Byrne, and the most asked question was: "Li Byrne, I heard that AC Milan Club listened to your suggestions when participating in the game in China to make a recruitment strategy, does this mean that you think Capello's coaching level is not good?"
......
These reporters are really provocative! is also afraid that the world will not be chaotic!
Lee Bern thought for a moment and replied: "Mr. Capello's coaching ability has been fully proven over the past many seasons, and since '91, he has led AC Milan and Real Madrid to five league titles in six years, which is a great record. But on the matter, his coaching philosophy is no longer suitable for the development of modern football, I am not aimed at anyone, it turns out that the first leg of the triangle main force, as a football weak country, just professional 3 years of team, our Guangzhou Sun God faced Mr. Capello coached AC Milan, played their own level. The result is the best illustration of our 2-1 victory. AC Milan is a team that I really like, so last season's dismal results in Milan were very difficult for me as a fan to accept, so when I was in Beijing, I had a discussion with Mr. Galliani and Mr. Capello about the development and construction of the team, and everyone knows that we lost to Milan in the second leg. Although several of our main players did not play, it came down to Milan finally changing their previous inefficient style of play, so they won the final victory. Now that I see that Mr. Galliani can put his life on the line and make drastic changes to the irrational parts of the team, I sincerely hope that AC Milan can return to the top this season, but unfortunately Mr. Capello still seems to be obsessed with his own ideas, so let the facts prove who is right and who is wrong!"
When the teenager's remarks reached Europe, Capello, who was going crazy about not being able to find a job for the time being, blew up again, and this time he really spewed: "What nonsense! Brag unblushingly! He didn't know where he was when I was a coach?! He said my style of play was outdated, why did he say that?! You have the ability to take it out, and it turns out that I am outdated! I! Fabio. Capello swears here, don't look at him Li Bourne is the richest man in the world, and I will not coach his team in this life!"
Boy! A wave of unevenness rose again and again, and this goods accidentally shook out a big news! A footballer from the top league of Chinese football, under the age of 17, the richest man in the world! Journalists in Europe panicked, as did the flights from Rome and Milan to China.
Three days later, European journalists and a group of domestic reporters stood guard outside the training ground of the Helios and set up long guns and short cannons. When Lee Byrne had just finished training and was laughing with his teammates on the field, a group of people broke in from outside the stadium, and in order to grab a good position, reporters waved microphones, cameramen danced cameras, and in an instant, the stadium was transformed into a medieval European battlefield.
In the end, it was only under the obstruction and reassurance of the club's teammates and coaching staff that the reporters reluctantly began to interview in a circle:
"Mr. Leeborn, coach Capello said you didn't know where he was when he was coaching? This is a seniority to oppress people, do you have anything to respond to?
"Mr. Li Bourne, oh, it should be the dear Mr. Li, may I ask how much of your assets are now? Is it true that Capello said you are the richest man in the world? How did you achieve this goal in such a short period of time, which is difficult for 99.999999 percent of the world's people to achieve in their lifetime?
"Mr. Li, Capello said that he would never play for your team in his life, and he didn't give any money to go. What do you think?"
Oops, this Wuyang Wuyang is annoying. Li Byrne motioned for everyone to be quiet, then cleared his throat and replied: "The first question is good to go back to, he started coaching in 1985 with AC Milan youth team, when I was just 5 years old, and I had already started football training in my hometown Henan Jianye team."
"The second question, about my personal financial problems, I can only give you a positive answer, but the specific others are inconvenient to disclose, in short, my financial resources are normal, and there are no illegal acts such as tax evasion, and everyone else is not bothered."
"Thirdly, Mr. Capello is so confident! I didn't seem to say I was going to ask him to be the coach, but the current head coach of our Guangzhou team, Mr. Louis van Gaal, and my coach in Milan next season, Mr. Zagallo, are very good."
Speaking of this, the teenager had a bad taste, paused and continued: "Well, I'll give Mr. Capello a chance, and I'm willing to make a bet with him that from next season when I join AC Milan, I will work with my teammates to bring the team a fifth consecutive Serie A title and at least two Champions League titles. If we do, I'll ask him to deign to coach my academy for free for 5 years, and if he doesn't, all my existing assets will be given to him. I wonder if Mr. Capello will dare to make this bet?"
Yes! For the first time, journalists who have been in the business for so long have enjoyed the feeling of orgasm during a news interview. It's so exciting! This is a great gamble in the world of football!
This time, Capello got the news from Asia on the same day, and this guy quickly called another wave of reporters and made a shocking bet with the teenager in front of the TV camera. If your brain is in water, you shouldn't have a grudge against money!
