Chapter 026 Duck Next

Pato's career is quite legendary. When I was 6 months old, I played oranges as a football. At the age of 4, I won the championship for the first time in my hometown's children's indoor football game, and I have never been separated from it ever since. Since then, Pato has been inseparable from football. Although he started playing football at the age of 5, for Pato, he joined the international team at the age of 11.

In fact, he is willing to buy Pato's club and Gremio, because Little Pato's extraordinary talent is famous throughout Paraná. Moreover, Pato's first jersey when he was a child was Gremio's, although he denied that he was a Gremio fan.

Because Gremio was unable to provide accommodation for the second-tier team and below, Pato and his family finally chose the international team. In order to play in the international team, his father took him away from his hometown of Pato Blanco and arrived at Puerto Allagre, where the club is located. Interestingly, the other Brazilian star born in Puerto Alla Gré is Barcelona star Ronaldinho.

But fate will never be smooth. Pato, who was 11 years old, was still a child, but he was found to have cancerous bone in his arm. If he did not operate in time, it would worsen. Although his life was not necessarily dangerous, he was most likely to have to be amputated. In the face of expensive surgery costs, Pato's family suddenly fell into crisis. Fortunately, a friend of Paul Musi, a doctor, was willing to operate on Pato for free, and finally took a bone from his back and implanted it into his arm. After experiencing the worries and fears of life that a child should not have, Pato finally escaped the prolongation of the disaster.

Pato began to train in the international team with the unique ** and self-improvement of poor children. Less than two years later, Pato represented the international team in the Brazilian Under-20 League and defeated Gremio 4-0 in the final with his teammates. He scored one goal in the final. Pato was immediately called in by the first team of the international team and signed a contract with the club until the end of 2009, and his salary suddenly increased five times. On November 26 of the same year, Pato made his debut in Brazil's highest league.

Shortly after that, he went to the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan with the international team and scored a goal in the semi-final against Ahli of Egypt. This goal made him replace Pele as the youngest goal player in the official FIFA tournament. In the final of the FIFA Club World Cup. Pato's international team defeated the European Cup champion Barcelona as the South American champion and became the final winner.

Galliani has long mastered all the information about this young general who is only 18 years old this year.

Leonardo recommended Pato, but Galliani was not too surprised. Moreover, after careful consideration, Galliani is really interested in this young man.

This is not just to deal with the team's current frontline crisis. More importantly, Ronaldo and Inzaghi are getting older and older, and both of them are vulnerable to injury. Neither of these two superstars is enough to become AC Milan's front line for many years to rely on.

Now, the team has 21-year-old Zhang Yang, so we have to find a striker for Zhang Yang who can really partner with Zhang Yang.

Gilardino?

Galliani remembered the name in his mind, and then he rejected the name himself. Gilardino belongs to the kind of excellent shooter, but he can't become that kind of super top player.

So, this is the reason why Galliani is interested in Leonardo's recommended Pato. This young man is very talented and performs well. He proved his strength at last year's FIFA Club World Cup. In last year's FIFA World Cup, Galliani watched the game and naturally had a good impression of Pato.

In addition, Pato is still very young and has more room for growth. Moreover, if it really grows into a superstar, then Zhang Yang and Pato, the 21-year-old and 18-year-old front line, will make ACM Milan no longer have to worry about scoring goals in the next decade.

Thinking of this, Galliani's interest began to be strong, but before that, Galliani first asked Leonardo a question, "How much is this child worth now?"

When Leonardo heard Galliani ask this question, he immediately caught it. Although Galliani did not make a statement, it seemed that he did not object, or did not specifically oppose his proposal, and was even more interested.

"Brazil International gave him a price of 30 million."

"Thirty million? Humph." Galliani snorted and said nothing. Brazilian International is crazy about money. An 18-year-old young man dares to ask for 30 million yuan without too much competition or proof of European stadiums. He really dares to open his mouth.

Leonardo naturally knows what Galliani's 'hum' means. He also thinks that Brazil's international price is too fierce. He can understand his compatriots' wishes to salvage a sum, but it can't be too much, can he?

After thinking about it, Leonardo thought about it and said, "In terms of price, I can help you suppress it. The key is what the club means."

To put it bluntly, in terms of price, I can help to suppress the price. The question is whether the club, or Mr. Galliani, supports this acquisition. If you support it, what about the big boss, Mr. Berlusconi?

Galliani did not make a direct statement, "Let's have a meeting tomorrow."

"Okay." Leonardo nodded. He also knew that such a thing could not be decided by him and Galliani. Braida naturally had to participate, and the most important thing was the attitude of the big boss. Of course, there was also the head coach Ancelotti. Although Ancelotti is a good coach, he has always been very hard-working. However, if you want to buy someone, you still have to respect the opinion of the head coach.

At the meeting the next day, Ancelotti still welcomed the introduction of Pato. However, he proposed one thing, that is, don't forget that Pato was born on September 2. According to the regulations of Serie A, players must be at least 18 years old to register, and on September 2, Pato will be 18 years old. At that time, the registration door for Serie A players had been closed. Therefore, even if you buy Pato, you will have to wait until January next year to really play for Milan.

Galliani and Leonardo and others here were stunned. Well, they really didn't think about this problem.

So, Ancelotti proposed another name, Huntelaar.

As soon as the name

was put forward, it was immediately rejected. Nothing else, Huntelaar is too expensive. Without 30 million, you don't want to interfere in this transfer. Milan doesn't have so much money now.

When it comes to money. Galliani gave Leonardo an indicator that Pato's transfer can be considered, but one thing is that it is less than 12 million, which is determined by the big boss.

Leonardo didn't say anything. He felt that Brazil International definitely didn't want to pay this price. Pato is not that no one wants it. Many other rich families are staring at it. Among other things, Inter Milan is already planning to do it.

Galliani said, "The club disagrees. As long as the players themselves want to come to Milan, it will be fine."

Ancelotti sadly found that his opinions are the least valued in the business of players, but he has long been used to this.

At this meeting, an opinion was quickly reached, that is, if Pato's value is less than 12 million, you can consider that even if you buy it, you can't play now, it is to prepare for the future. As for other strikers, they can't be considered if they are too expensive. Those with low prices are all big goods. Milan doesn't like them, so they don't think about them.

As for the problem that there is only one striker on the team's front line, Ancelotti can only continue to adopt the Christmas tree formation, which he is good at, and only wants to get through this difficult period of more than a month.

In fact, whether it is Galliani, Braida, or Ancelotti, they are not optimistic about Brazil International's acceptance of AC Milan's quotation of 12 million euros. After all, this is too different from the opening price of Brazil International.

However, three days later, Leonardo proudly told them that the news that Brazil International had agreed, and everyone was shocked.

"Do you agree?" Galliani exclaimed.

"Hmm." Leonardo nodded reservedly, "12 million euros."

Ancelotti was also shocked. Anyway, Ancelotti still appreciates Pato, a young man. If he can take it under his command, it's always a good thing.

"Is it really 12 million?" He asked.

"Well, twelve million, I have negotiated with them, and I can pay it in two years." Leonardo made another big news.

Can you also pay in installments? Everyone was shocked again. After learning that this was the case, they all worshiped.

Seeing everyone's shocked eyes, Leonardo's heart was as refreshing as drinking ice water in the summer. Is it easy for me to say, buddy?

"Typ, tell me, how did you do it?" Galliani personally made a cup of coffee for Leonardo, which is different from the last cup of coffee. The last cup of coffee was instant coffee, but this time it was authentic Blue Mountain coffee.

"Adriano, it's not easy to drink your Blue Mountain coffee." Leonardo's proud sigh.

"Let's talk about business, talk about business." Everyone urged.

"I asked Ronaldo to call Pato." Leonardo said.

Everyone made such an expression.

"Kaka will go back to Milan tomorrow. I invited him to meet Pato and his family before coming." Leonardo said with a smile.

Everyone said that they knew the influence of Ronaldo and Kaka in Brazil, especially on young Brazilian players.

"I went back to Brazil the day before yesterday and met with the chairman of Brazil International."

About this, Galliani and others know that Leonardo returned to Brazil, and naturally they can guess what he did. Leonardo has a good relationship with many Brazilian clubs and football associations, and everyone knows that he has a deep network.

However, Leonardo's ability to get Brazil International to agree to transfer Pato for 12 million is really unexpected.

However, they can already imagine such a scene.

Pato received the '**' of Ronaldo and Caca, coupled with Leonardo's previous 'analysis' homework for Pato's father, this young player nicknamed Duck is no longer considered by Milan. Coupled with Leonardo's public relations with the senior management of Brazil International, Brazil International is aware of the current situation and is very unhappy. At that time, I could only nod and take it off like this.

Now, in the process of player transfer, the player's will is becoming more and more important, which is also the key to Leonardo's success in this trip.

In the afternoon of the same day, Galliani and Leonardo departed from Milan and took a flight to Brazil.
