Chapter 10 If you don't want to stay, you can go
There is no feast in the world for the soldiers with hard disks. This sentence is also applicable on the football field. Today, we are still celebrating the cup and thinking about making efforts and dominating the field in the coming year, but soon because of different interests, such things are common in the football circle.
Florence's record last season was extremely outstanding, especially the young talents in the team, which made major European clubs jealous. At the end of last season, Fiorentina received countless offers to buy players in the team, from goalkeeper Frey to striker Degan, and even substitute players. They have become a favorite in the eyes of others.
Degan has already had a calculation for this kind of thing. Although he wants to maintain the stability of the team, after all, it is not easy to build a mature and combative team, but Degan also knows that it is unrealistic to keep everyone.
So what Degan has to do is to ensure that the overall framework of the team remains unchanged. As for those players who are moved and feel that the small temple of Florence can no longer let them go, their ambition is difficult to achieve in Florence, or who want to pursue higher treatment, Degan naturally does not mind letting them go.
"In fact, I was surprised to be able to do this!"
Looking at the documents handed to him by Prandelli about the team's lineup next season, Degan was really overjoyed. Last summer, all the players he brought in by him confirmed that they would stay in the team.
In fact, there is nothing strange about this. Although the players introduced last summer have passed a perfect season, they are still very young after all. It is still a little early for them to go to the rich family.
And the atmosphere in Florence is very good. Although the team's background is not as good as that of AC Milan and Juventus, it is also a traditional force in Serie A.
Prandelli is also the head coach who is good at ** young players. Even if they just regard Fiorentina as a springboard to a big team, they can stay here, which is definitely the best choice for them at present.
Prandelli is also happy to leave so many people. The main framework of the team is still there. Although Albertini's retirement has some impact on the team, in fact, in the second half of last season, Albertini is no longer the absolute main force of the team due to physical reasons. Now Ledesma, Mota, and even Donadale is a very powerful player who can completely replace Albertini.
"The main framework of the team is still there, and the players introduced last season have gradually matured after a season of accumulation. We don't need to have a major operation on the team in the new season, at least add it!"
Digan nodded and then said, "He really told the club that he was going to leave?"
Prandelli was also a little angry when he heard the words: "These days, his agent has been blowing around. I have called him, but his attitude is also very ambiguous. It is said that Rome is very interested in him now and hopes to use him to replace Ferrari's place!"
The Florence team is very quiet now, but there are also unstable factors, such as Gamberini.
Gamberini has been a very important member of the team since he joined the team in 2005. Although he has never been in the position of absolute main force, he has many opportunities to play.
At the beginning of last season, because of Tiago. Silva's performance was unstable, and he even became the main force of the team, but in the second half of the season, especially after Degan's comeback, with Tiago. Silva was familiar with the style of Italian football, and coupled with the competition between Dainelli and Uyfarushi, he gradually faded out of the team's main lineup, but he was also an important rotating player.
Last season, Gamberini made 20 appearances and scored three goals. Such data is very rare for a defender who is not the main defender.
After his good performance, Gamberini was naturally dissatisfied with his situation in the Fiorentina team. Previously, he told reporters in an interview that he hoped to get a more stable appearance.
Prandelli also understands Gamberini's requirements very well. After all, for a young player, especially a player who is in the rising stage of his career, a stable opportunity to play is very important.
In fact, in Prandelli's mind, Gambellini ranked third in the position of central defender, even higher than the team's current vice captain Dainelli and Czech veteran Ufarushi.
But Gambellini's request is more than that. In addition to stable appearance opportunities, he also hopes to get a higher salary.
"My contribution to the team is no less than others, but unfortunately, my current salary is completely proportional to my efforts. I hope that my efforts can be respected by others, especially by the club. I think I am eligible for a higher annual salary."
Speaking of which, Gamberini's salary is not low in the Fiorentina team, at least at the middle level, with an annual salary of 1.8 million euros, which is absolutely high for players of his age.
However, since Gamberini has proposed, Fiorentina's results last season were also good. After completing the goals set by the team before the start of the season, it is not impossible to give Gamberini a salary increase.
However, the two million annual salary proposed by the Florence club was immediately rejected by Gambellini's agent on the grounds that this money was not enough to support the family.
"He refused!?"
"It's his agent. I asked Gambellini about his attitude. He just said that he would leave the contract negotiation to his agent, but everyone knows that he wants more!" When Prandelli said this, his tone was a little annoyed.
I don't blame Prandelli, after all, Tiago, the main force of the team. Silva still has an annual salary of 1.5 million euros, but Gambellini, as a rotating player, wants more, which is unreasonable in itself.
"How much does he want?" Degan looked at Pakinwa.
Pakinwa laughed and said, "3.5 million, and his agent also hopes that his salary can be increased by 25% every year!"
"What the hell!" When Degan heard the words, he cursed. Although he was just a player, it was not his turn to worry about these things, but he hoped to succeed in Florence. If he wanted to succeed, he not only had a group of excellent players, but also needed the club to remain competitive in all aspects. The most important thing was However, finances must be healthy. Degan doesn't want him to lead the team to fight for the championship, but the club is now bankrupt.
At present, the first grade of the salary structure of the Florence team is naturally Degan, with an annual salary of 7 million euros, and the second grade is Frey, Uyfarushi, Compani, Livrani, Ledesma, Mota, Jogensen, Mutu, with an annual salary of 2.5 million to 3 million euros. Wait, the third gear is Kavinagi, Montolivo, Donadale, Gamberini, Tiago. Silva, with an annual salary of 1.5 million euros to 2.3 million euros, and the fourth grade is Abat, Marjo, Hamsik and others, with an annual salary of about 1 million euros.
Except for Degan, who is superior to other players, basically speaking, the salary structure in the Fiorentina team is very healthy. Now Gambellini demands to break this stability and get the second year salary in the team after Degan. It would be strange if the club can agree.
Pakinwa looked at the change in Digan's face. He knew his current role. Although he was the executive chairman of the club, the transfer power of the team was in the hands of Degan.
And Digan is very optimistic about Gambellini's potential. If Digan agrees to this condition in order to retain Gambellini, it will be him who will be difficult to do at that time.
Will Degan agree?
Of course not!
Although Digan is optimistic about Gamberini's potential, after all, Gambellini was finally selected to the Italian national team by virtue of his excellent performance in Florence in his previous life, but if he destroyed the team's salary structure alone, Degan would not be so stupid.
In the final analysis, Gambellini is not qualified enough.
"I'll call him!"
Digan and Gamberini usually have a very good relationship. They often go to the bar and dial Gambellini's number, but after half a day, no one answered.
At the same time, Gambellini was looking nervously at his mobile phone. He wanted to pick it up, but he didn't know what to say.
"Ali Sandro! There is nothing to be afraid of. Tell Degan what you really think. Are you going to miss this opportunity? Gambellini's agent is his brother-in-law Orlando, a mercenary Italian, but Gambellini trusts him very much.
Gamberini frowned and said distressedly, "But I don't know how to face Rod. I promised him to create a big scene in Florence together, but now~~~~~~"
Orlando smiled disdainfully: "Promise is nothing, Arisandro, don't be silly! If he is really your friend, you should think about your annual salary and what his annual salary is. Although I don't know the specific number, it will certainly not be less than 5 million euros. You have contributed a lot to Florence, but you can only have an annual salary of 1.8 million euros. Do you think this is fair? Miss Sensi has promised me that as long as you transfer to Rome, you can get a big contract of 3 million euros. Do you still need to hesitate?
The Sensi mentioned by Orlando is Franco, the president of the Rome Club. Rossella, Sensi's daughter. Sensi, a super Roman fan like his father.
I was in Franco. When Sensei was brewing the acquisition plan, there was also some opposition within the family, so he decided to vote at the family meeting.
As a result, Sensi and his wife voted for it, but the other two daughters, who were not very interested in football, objected. Just as the two sides fell into a two-two stalemate, the eldest daughter Rosela. Sensi cast a key affirmative vote, and Rome also ushered in a new club president.
Although there were differences, when Franco. After Sensi officially entered Rome, the other members of the family still showed a concerted attitude.
The second daughter Christina is responsible for the work of the club's market development department, and the third daughter Sylvia communicates with the media as a director of the club. The eldest daughter Rossella is the second person in the club and is responsible for a series of important matters including capital operations.
With such a shrewd and capable management team, coupled with the funds injected by the Sensi family, the Roma team has been revived. Since the Sensi family came to power, the team's record has rebounded significantly, and a group of star players, including Totti, have emerged, becoming a force that cannot be ignored in the "Seven Sisters of Serie A".
Rosella. Sensi himself graduated from the law department of the University of Rome and began to get involved in club affairs a few years ago to help his father share the pressure. Although he has a high position, it is old Sensi who really has the final say.
Rosella. Sensi is in Franco. Sensi proved his unique leadership ability with action and wisdom when he was old and unable to exercise the chairman's rights and responsibilities, with general manager Prad and technical director Bruno. The management team composed of Conte, team leader Tempestili and others have repeatedly created miracles in the transfer market, and the image and influence of the Roma club are improving and improving year by year with excellent results.
Among the investors of the Serie A club, the Sensi family is not the richest, and their financial resources cannot be compared with the Agnelli family or Berlusconi, which to some extent prevents the club from challenge Juventus and AC Milan. However, the Sensi family also has its own countermeasures, which is to finance through the securities market.
As early as the acquisition of the Rome Club in 1993, the Sensi family began to prepare for the listing in advance and registered a company called "Rome 2000" to control the equity of the club.
Coincidentally, the company got the opportunity to go public in 2000 and issued 13 million shares at a price of 5.5 euros per share. This strategy is exactly Rosela. Sensi proposed it.
Relying on the large amount of money raised by stock issuance, Rome made a full-scale attack in the transfer market in the summer of 2000, bringing in a group of excellent players such as Batistuta, Samuel and Emerson. At the end of the 2000/2001 season, the team lived up to expectations and won the Serie A championship with two points ahead of the second Juventus. This is the third Serie A championship trophy in the history of Rome, and it has become the most glorious moment for the entire Sensi family.
Roma's victory had an impact on the Serie A pattern at that time. Before that, the center of Apennine football had been Milan and Turin in the north, with Milan and Juventus taking turns.
However, after Lazio won the Serie A championship in 1999/2000, Rome in the same city continued to win the following year, making the southern team finally find a feeling of raising their eyebrows.
For Franco with a southern accent. Sensi also learned the pleasure of learning the "Yankees" from it.
The competitive Franco. Sensi has never let go of any opportunity to compete with the Northern Consortium before. At an auction, he competed with members of the Agnelli family and finally bought a piece of property that his opponent was bound to win at a high price. A day later, he sold the property back to the Agnelli family at twice the original price.
In the field of football, the Sensi family has never shown weakness. In 2001, in the process of competing for Bari frontline rookie Cassano, Roma once again overwhelmed Juventus and won a high bid of 28.5 million euros, which set a world record for the transfer fee for players under the age of 20 at that time.
This aggressive momentum is Franco. Sensi has established many enemies, including the "Holy Alliance" represented by AC Milan and Juventus, but with a strong personality, he is uncompromising and simply claims to be the spokesperson of small and medium-sized clubs, and there is constant friction with the "Holy Alliance".
In the election of the president of the Italian Professional League held in 2002, the "Holy Alliance" elected Tanzi, the president of Parma Club as a candidate, and Sensi personally participated in the election. As a result, after several rounds of voting, both sides failed to get the number of votes needed to be elected, and finally had to compromise with Galliani.
In addition, Franco. Sensi also pointed the finger at the "Holy Alliance" in many interviews, accusing the other party of monopolizing most of the resources of Apennine football, thus affecting the living space of small and medium-sized clubs.
The Sensi family was also believed to be behind the sensational "Eight Poor Strike" incident in the summer of 2002. In the first few years of the new century, the Sensi family has been independent and showed itself as a fighter, which also led to the Roma team often being treated unfairly in the game.
In the process of fighting against the Holy Alliance, the Senxi family suffered a "backyard fire". With the bursting of the football bubble economy, the Roma club soon fell into a difficult situation, and the company's stock price also fell all the way. In order to make up for the deficit caused by paying transfer fees and high salaries, the Sensi family had to pay out of their own pockets and invested hundreds of millions of euros to maintain the normal operation of the club.
To make matters worse, the business of the Sensi family also encountered great trouble at this time, especially when their development plan for an oil field was delayed again and again, causing the Italian oil company to bear a heavy burden and a debt of nearly 400 million euros. In addition, several real estate projects invested by the Sensi family are also facing huge losses.
Under this*, it is generally believed that the sale of the Roman club will be the only way for the Sensi family to get through the crisis. After all, this can bring them huge income and get rid of an economic burden that requires continuous injection of capital every year. In recent years, there have been rumors in the market that foreign consortia may acquire the Rome Club. Potential buyers include financial giants such as Soros in addition to the Russian oil giants and Arab consortia.
However, out of his love for the Roman club, Franco. Sensi always refused to make such a choice. In order to help the company survive the crisis, he preferred to transfer up to 49% of the stake in Italian oil companies to banks to offset the huge debts owed by the other party. In addition, the Sensi family also sold oil fields and real estate one after another, but only the Roman club was unwilling to give up.
Rossella. Sensei, like her father, loves Roma clubs far more than ordinary people. Last season, the team won the second place in the league, injecting a boost to her. Before the start of the new season, she is also trying her best to strengthen the team.
Last season, the team's biggest problem was the defense. After losing Samuel and Zebina, the team's main left-back Zivo was also sold to Inter Milan. Central defender Ferrari has been in an ups and downs since he came to the team. After discussing with Spalletti, it is no longer possible to attract players. Avoid.
Rome didn't have to think about those big names, so Spaleti turned to Rossella. Sensi recommended Gamberini. Although the Italian handsome guy was not the absolute main force of Florence last season, his strength was obvious to all. It didn't seem difficult to seduce Gamberini to Rome.
The high salary and the main position are enough to move Gamberini!
Gamberini is really moved, but staying in Florence is also very attractive to him, of course, on the premise that Florence can meet his conditions.
After being agitated by Orlando, Gamberini finally answered the phone: "Rod! I'm Alysandro!"
Digan has never been a person who likes to beat around the bush. He came straight up straight to the point: "Ali Sandro, I heard that you want to leave!"
Gamberini was stunned and couldn't help feeling a little guilty: "No! I don't want to leave, but I think I should get better treatment if the club can~~~~~~"
"Do you think your request is reasonable?"
Gamberini was interrupted by Degan and felt a little unhappy: "Of course, my contribution to the team can be seen by everyone!"
Digan sneered when he heard the words: "If you stick to your terms, I don't think there is anything to talk about. I think it's very reasonable to have an annual salary of two million euros!"
Gamberini didn't wait to speak, and Orlando grabbed his mobile phone: "That's just your opinion. Since Arisandro is a very important player of the team, he should be paid reasonably, I~~~~~~"
After Orlando's words were also finished, Degan hung up the phone directly.
Looking up at Pakinwa: "Chairman Pakinwa, now the club can inform Gambellini's agent that they can find the next one, but I think you can handle the transfer fee!"
Pakinwa listened and couldn't help feeling depressed. He didn't like Digan's commanding tone, but he still nodded and said, "Of course! It is impossible for the Romans to get our players without paying enough price!"
