Chapter 74 The enemy left
It is most appropriate to use "in a hurry to come and go" to describe Vieri. Vieri only stayed in Milan Nello for 189 days. For the World Cup to be held in Germany this summer, he had no choice but to leave, and his next stop was not the predicted Atletico Madrid or Lazio, but Ligue 1 Monaco.
In order to get more opportunities to play, Vieri decided to leave, decided to give up AC Milan, who treated him well, abandoned Inzaghi, Ambrosini and other friends, and left his motherland, which gave him countless honors and sadness.
For the glimmer of hope of the World Cup, money and status are temporarily abandoned. What's more, he himself has not lost anything. He has a free transfer and signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Monaco. It is speculated that Riwieri can earn 5.5 million euros in these 18 months.
After completing the tour of the top three in Serie A, Vieri finally decided to advance to his third map of the European continent. In Apennine and Pyrenees, he left a deep mark. Can he still be glorious in France, which is also Latin?
He speaks English fluently, but he is not very good at French. Fortunately, coach Guidolin and his partner Divayo are both Italians.
In the previous game, Vieri appeared in the stands again and then spent 90 minutes in the audience. At the same time, Galliani and Monaco visitors talked in the San Siro living room.
Galliani said the following words to reporters before and after the game: "I will talk to Vieri and his agent face to face. Is there any team that wants to get Vieri? Yes, abroad, an EU country. We are talking, and it will be clear later that Monaco wants to get him. In a few hours, we will see if the negotiations can come to fruition.
Three sentences, step by step, Vieri's prospects are gradually clear.
The bald chairman revealed the focus of the discussion between the two clubs: "It's not how much Vieri is worth, but how much Vieri needs to know how much money he can make? This has nothing to do with Milan. If you rent it, there will be a large queue of clubs, but we won't do that. Vieri wants to leave, but he can only make a complete transfer.
Galliani has always flaunted Milan, and the final result does reflect Milan's kindness: Vieri was released and a penny was confiscated.
In the summer, he lost a lot of energy from his opponents in the same city and came to Vieri. After half a year without success, he turned him away, carrying a contradictory reputation. Milan is generous enough.
After that, Vieri's agent also joined the meeting, which lasted until midnight. Galliani smiled and said to the reporter waiting outside, "Well, we have reached a deal. Now it depends on whether Vieri can reach an agreement on money with Monaco."
The next afternoon, after finishing his training, Vieri hurried to the Prince Savoy Hotel in the city center and agreed with Brianti, the vice chairman of Monaco, to earn 5.5 million in 18 months, and the bonus depends on the results.
Milan officially issued a statement: Vieri officially transferred to Monaco.
Vieri was also very satisfied with the result: "I'm very happy that I have to play football, and I'm also very sorry to say goodbye to Milan's life. I didn't leave for any other reason, but because I want to participate in the World Cup!"
Galliani made a concluding statement: "I regret Vieri's departure. I have always believed that he is a great player and will be useful to Milan. A few days ago, he told me that although he had a good life here, he wanted to appear more. There is no way. No one in Milan can guarantee a place, even if Basten comes. Will there be compensation for Vieri? Of course not! I don't regret stealing him from Inter. If I were asked to choose again, I would still choose Vieri. I also talked to Lippi on the phone. He said he wanted to see more players play, and I understood Vieri's choice better.
Will Moratti laugh at Milan?
The Inter boss said: "If Christian plays well in Monaco, I will be very happy. Revenge against Inter? Why do you say these useless things? There are many things that are more important than this.
After signing the contract, Vieri flew to Monaco for a physical examination on Tuesday. According to Guidolin, Vieri will play in the game against Strasbourg on Wednesday.
Before that, there were rumors that Premier League teams Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle were very interested in the strong center. However, the final result was that Vieri landed in Ligue 1 and passed the Premier League.
After Vieri's transfer, AC Milan quickly finalized a replacement. Although Milan does not lack a striker now, Degan has been absent for a long time and has just returned from injury. Even Galliani has no confidence in his state.
The person who replaced Vieri is no stranger to Italy. It is the Brazilian Amoruso, who has previously won the best scorer in Serie A in Udinese.
37, this is Amoruso's new number in AC Milan, because he previously wore this number in São Paulo. On the third day of Vieri's transfer to Monaco, Amoruso came to Milan. After passing the physical examination, he officially signed a contract with Milan for a year and a half, participated in training in the afternoon and scored a goal.
"Today is my first day in Milan. I'm very happy and hope I can get into the best condition step by step." Joining Milan made Brazilians very excited. "I think Milan chose me because I played well in Sao Paulo. I used to want to change clubs, but now I have a chance to come here. In fact, I can stay in Brazil or go to Japan. But when I received Milan's invitation, I almost did not hesitate to accept it immediately. Returning to Europe is one of my wishes, not to mention Milan, which has many championships.
The next day, AC Milan Club also held an official debut ceremony for Amoruso. Galliani enthusiastically introduced: "Amoruso is very active in physical examinations. Our physical coach Tognacini accompanied him. Later, he told me that the striker is in the best condition and he has done a good job. Full preparation. He scored our goals while playing for Udinese, Parma and Dortmund, which is why we chose him. Amoruso, a striker, was once the best scorer in Serie A, Bundesliga and Brazil, and few players can reach his competitive status. Put him on the front line, and our attack power will be strengthened.
When he first arrived in Milan, Amoruso was very smart and praised coach Ancelotti: "He is a great coach, and I am very happy to work with him. For me, what I have to do is to integrate into the team and help Milan. I think the opportunity and time of appearance depend on my state and performance.
Obviously, Amoruso is better than Degan, but Digan can only sneer at the arrival of this Brazilian fellow villager, leaving an old man and another old man, and Amoruso's performance in Milan has been proved in his previous life. First of all, he simply He did not have the strength to play for Milan. Secondly, Ancelotti looked down on him at all. The final result was three appearances, one penalty, and PlayGo after the season!
