Chapter 17 Unapsed
This is an almost irreconcilable conflict between the highly expected new star and the team's head coach. Who has the most headache is naturally the team's chairman Galliani.
Berlusconi still has absolute control over AC Milan, but in the face of the general election, his main focus is on politics, and the team's affairs are naturally all pushed to Galliani.
Galliani is one of the best managers in the world, the CEO of AC Milan, who has managed this old club in an orderly manner and achieved outstanding results for more than 20 years. The negotiation ability in the transfer meeting of players is the best in the world. Youshan acquired key players with the best cost performance at the last moment, which is known as "Gagliani time".
In the summer of 2010, Galliani signed Ibrahimovic for Milan by renting first and then buying, and cut Barcelona's offer from 70 million euros to 24 million euros. Later, he bought out Robinho for 18 million euros. He transferred during the 2012/2013 season during the winter break and signed Baloteli from Manchester City for 20 million euros. From 13 to 17 years, a total of 5 installments were made, 5 of which were highlights, once again demonstrating its super negotiation skills. On September 3, 2013, Galliani made another big deal and brought back Kaka from Real Madrid with a zero transfer fee and an annual salary of 4 million euros, once again showing his terrible ability to negotiate a transfer.
Galliani's approach is actually very helpless. Since 2009, Berlusconi's family business has no longer paid a penny to support Milan. Even with the championship bonus, part of it needs to fill the operating deficit, because Berlusconi has made it clear to Galliani. His strategy is to buy cheap young players, and AC Milan needs to maintain its own balance.
Although Berlusconi's investment in AC Milan is still continuing, it is actually more difficult to be in Galliani's position than AC Milan's previous head coaches.
On the one hand, Galliani needs to maximize Berlusconi's authority and image to satisfy Berlusconi. On the other hand, AC Milan's practical work and practical problems still need someone to solve.
There is a delicate balance at the top of AC Milan. This balance is maintained by several children of Galliani, Ancelotti, the team, Berlusconi and Berlusconi. In fact, AC Milan's trader is Galliani, who has been the CEO of the club since 1986 and later served as the executive chairman of the club.
According to public information, in 1978 and 1986, Berlusconi twice failed to acquire Inter Milan from Freizzoli and Pellegrini, and became the owner of AC Milan in 1986. He was the real decision maker of the club.
Previously, Berlusconi often intervened in AC Milan's transfer affairs with very rude means, which made Galliani's efforts to disappear. Berlusconi directly slapped Galliani several times while establishing his absolute authority.
Especially after the end of last season, Berlusconi almost sold Kaka cash out, and Galliani, who once seemed very confident to the outside world, disappeared.
After that, Galliani must call Berlusconi, and never show his attitude before Old Bay's statement. Regarding Galliani, there has always been such a saying in the Italian media circle. Over the years, the people around Berlusconi, especially those in Berlusconi's political party, have given Berlusconi a lot of blows to Berlusconi, hoping that he would take down Galliani, but the old Bei, who was so angry that Ancelotti could not come down, There has been no public similar practice against Galliani.
Some people say that more than 30 years of cooperation has made Galliani know a lot about Berlusconi. Others said that when Galliani gave up the enterprise and devoted himself to the world of football, there was an agreement between Berlusconi and Galliani.
If Galliani is unusively, Berlusconi will pay a huge sum of compensation. This second statement has been seen in Italian newspapers, but the two parties, Berlusconi and Galliani, have never denied it or admitted that silence is their attitude of communication on this topic.
is another thing, which is basically clear. Berlusconi made a huge investment in AC Milan in his early years. He also established the image of a successful businessman by relying on MEDIASET and AC Milan, and effectively pioneered a political career through more than 10 million local fans of AC Milan.
Subsequently, Milan's importance to Berlusconi declined, and Old Bay no longer paid much attention to AC Milan. Not only that, Marina and Piesilvio, born to Lao Bei and his first wife, had no interest in AC Milan, and even saw the burden, and constantly persuaded Lao Bei to sell AC Milan.
There have also been several times when Lao Bei did contact the rich in Russia and West Asia through Galliani and other channels, but to no avail.
In the end, with the appearance of Barbara, the princess of the Berlusconi family, a new situation was created, but although Barbara was interested in Milan, Beck was probably worried about her inexperience. So, on the one hand, Barbara's power in the club has been increasing in the past two years, but Galliani is still the CEO and executive chairman of the club, so the balance continues and the pain continues.
Now the same is true of Degan's problem. Berlusconi attaches great importance to Digan, and so does Galliani, but now that this has happened, how to solve it next is time to test Galliani.
Berlusconi will not come forward, and Barbara, who was also sent to AC Milan for internship by Berlusconi, will not come forward. Only Galliani will be caught in the middle.
On the one hand, he is the old minister of the team, the meritorious leader Ancelotti, and on the other hand, he is the super star Degan, who has high expectations from the top to the bottom of the team. Galliani needs to make a choice, but Berlusconi does not make a statement, so there is no way to make this choice, so he can only try between the two, or It is said that it is a delicate balance between Degan and the team.
Without losing Digan, let Ancelotti make concessions first, but it will not make Ancelotti feel unhappy.
Since the outbreak of the incident, Galliani has been thinking about this matter. Now that the whole team of AC Milan has returned to Italy, he still can't sort out the matter.
Gallani, who has no choice, can only make an appointment with Degan first. As long as Degan makes a gesture first and gives Ancelotti a step down, he is sure to settle the matter, but it is obviously more difficult to convince Degan than to convince Ancelotti.
After all, since coaching AC Milan, Ancelotti has been used to compromise and concessions. Degan seems to have never had a bad temper.
When he was in Atlanta, Degan threatened the club president. If he did not strengthen the team, he would leave. Finally, Atlanta president Riodo made concessions.
Digan didn't expect Galliani to see him so soon. When he arrived at Galliani's office, what he saw was not a respous football manager at all, but a sad braised egg head.
Digan knew that it was time for the final sentencing, either to be acquitted or sentenced to death, but he did not expect to get a reprieve in the end.
"Rod! The impact of this matter is very bad. I need you to do me a favor now to let AC Milan, of course, get you through this crisis!"
Degan looked at Galliani doubtfully and didn't know what he was thinking: "If it's within my acceptable range, I can agree, but if it touches my bottom line~~~~~Mr. Chairman! I can only say I'm sorry!"
Galliani had already guessed that Digan was a thorn, but he didn't expect that the spike on Digan's body was so sharp that he would almost never compromise, but he still planned to try it.
"I know that Carlo and there are conflicts between some players, but that can't be solved, but what you have done in the United States is very dangerous for AC Milan. I don't want Milan's team atmosphere to be messed up, so I need you to make a gesture first, Rod! You are still very young. I don't want your future to be delayed. What you need now is a chance to play, and Carlo has the final say on the team. So, why don't you try to communicate with Carlo!? Maybe the misunderstanding between you can be eliminated!"
Communication!?
It's just to let him apologize to Ancelotti. Degan admitted that his behavior was a little extreme, but the matter itself was not his fault. There was no door for him to apologize.
"No! Mr. Chairman, I accept your kindness, but I absolutely can't accept your apology. I think what the real situation is like. You know very well that I have been treated unfairly in the team, and most importantly, I don't get the trust of the head coach, and I don't trust Ancelotti!"
Hearing this, Galliani was so anxious that his hair almost came out. He took off his glasses and wiped it and said, "If you don't give in, this matter will only get more and more rigid. This is what we want to see, and it will have a very bad impact on the team!" Or, have you decided to leave?
Leave!
Digan has had this plan for a long time, but not now: "No! I won't leave AC Milan. If I leave, some people will be more proud, and I don't like to leave here as a loser. Even if I leave one day, I hope I will leave with my head held high!"
Next, Galliani talked a lot to Degan, but obviously, Degan couldn't listen at all. His temper was like this. Once something was decided, there was absolutely no room for manoeuvre.
After hitting a nail here in Degan, Galliani had to go to Ancelotti again. When he said his thoughts, Ancelotti's face also changed.
Ancelotti cherishes his work in Milan, but this does not mean that he has to make such a big sacrifice. If he takes the lead in choosing to make concessions, what prestige can he have in the team?
"Adrian! This is ridiculous. Am I the one who did something wrong and made AC Milan a laughing stock? No! I can't agree that there is nothing to discuss about this matter. If you have to do so, I can only choose to leave Milan!"
Of course, Galliani can't let Ancelotti go. Although Berlusconi has said several times that he does not appreciate this characterless fat coach at all, Ancelotti is the most suitable head coach for Milan at present.
And if the coach is changed because of this kind of thing, the impact on the team is too great. This loss is unbearable for Galliani: "Carlo! Our chances this season are very good, and the strength of the team has been supplemented. We can completely attack all the championships, but if we have problems ourselves first, then everything will be over. I don't think you want to do this. In this case, why can't we be more open-minded!?
Ancelotti listened and almost couldn't help spraying Galliani's salty soda on his face. Is this a matter of openness?
How can Digan put up with it in front of the whole world, pointing to his nose and scolding him as an asshole who doesn't know anything?
"If this is the attitude of the club, then all I can say is that I'm sorry that I can't lose my dignity. I think I can only choose to resign!"
"No! No! No! Carlo! Don't do this!" Galliani quickly appeased Ancelotti and then said, "Carlo! I know this makes you very embarrassed. Since you don't agree, can you treat Degan as an ordinary person and treat Degan like an ordinary player according to the situation and tactics of the game?
Ancelotti curled his lips. If so, it's not that he should be the first to give in, but it's better to keep his face.
Ancelotti also heard that the club did not intend to give up Digan, and Ancelotti did not want to leave AC Milan, which had just been formed by him, so Galliani's proposal sounded good.
"Adrian! I can promise you, but I have one condition!" Ancelotti lost face, but he couldn't punish Degan. He always wanted some benefits.
Galliani hurriedly said, "Of course, you can say, Carlo! This is your right!"
Ancelotti thought for a moment and said, "I need you to promise me that you can't interfere with my directing of the game this season. I have such a condition. If you can agree, I can also promise you!"
