Chapter 259 Berlusconi's Thought
The behavior of the Manchester City Club has angered many people.
Never has a club so contemptuous, even provocative and trample on the rules of the whole football world like Manchester City!
For a club, the buying and selling of football players is a very serious matter. The head coach should make a judgment and make a report in advance, have a meeting with the members of his coaching staff, and discuss the buying or selling of a position or a player. This process is not short, and then the scout will mention After handing in some reports, the management of the club will also intervene. When it finally decides to buy a player, the club has to calculate carefully, calculate an economic account, and strive to maximize the benefits. In fact, there will be many stories on the negotiation table at the end of the transfer period every year, such as team managers, professional agents, players, and owners. When the coaches get together, there are a lot of stories connected.
For example, don't Manchester United clubs like Zhang Yang now? They are not painstakingly proposing to AC Milan to acquire Zhang Yang. In the past two or three years, Ferguson has been paying attention to Zhang Yang's performance. To put it unrespectful, in Lord Ferguson's computer, there will definitely be a wonderful collection of all the games of Zhang Yang in the past few seasons. In the old Lord's notebook, there must be a detailed analysis of Zhang Yang's technical characteristics, and there will be a lot of it. Details, these details are what kind of help will Zhang Yang provide to the team if he comes to Manchester United, whether it can be integrated with the team's tactical system, and what kind of chemical reaction may occur. This chemical reaction is positive, whether it is promotional or negative for the team. In addition, for this new player, How will the department be positioned as a substitute player? The main player? Important player? Or the core player? Or is it positioned as the flag of the future?!
After Ferguson finally decided to buy Zhang Yang, the Manchester United club will contact AC Milan and make an offer. The management of the club also began to contact with AC Milan Club, and the contact with Zhang Yang's agent Mendes also began to be close. It is best to communicate with the player himself and tell Zhang Yang that he The position in the head coach's tactical blueprint, followed by the bargaining between the clubs of the two sides, and bargaining with the players and their agents on personal treatment.
There are many of these details, so buying a player is a very serious thing and a long process. Behind the announcement of a club buying a star, it is a long behind-the-scenes confrontation process.
But Manchester City has broken this traditional transfer rule.
They provoked the pride of Real Madrid and directly claimed to deal with Robinho.
They found Juventus and said directly that he wanted Buffon, just tell them the price.
And the most amazing move of Manchester City Club is to buy for publicity. Their whole action is to take money. Their direct offer is 56 million pounds. Pay attention to the pound, not the euro, not the US dollar, not the Thai baht. Their offer directly weighs all the competitors. Next, if this price is sold, it will break Zidane's highest transfer record in the history of football. The original record was held by French football superstar Zidane. At that time, Zidane's transfer fee when he transferred from Juventus to Real Madrid was 56 million US dollars!
Attention, and now Manchester City Club's first offer from AC Milan is 56 million pounds, which is pound sterling!
Generally speaking, the first quotation of the club to buy a player is more cautious and tentative, because the price of the final transaction will definitely be much higher than the first quotation. Manchester City will certainly not understand this truth, but their first offer exceeded that of all clubs!
Why is it like this?
There is only one explanation, that is, the Manchester City Club is rich. They can't wait to let the world know that they have money. With the Arab father's Manchester City Club, their waist is hard. They tell all their competitors in this way: Dude, go and play with mud! This deal is ours! We have money now! You can't afford to be hurt!
Why is it that when the European Cup is about to begin, the media and fans can pay so much attention to the purchase of Manchester City Club and other stars, because Manchester City Club has made too much trouble!
They have aroused the vigilance and public indignation of many rich families!
They are cautious and respectful of other clubs. They squander money as much as dung. In that way, it's like a high-ranking super-rich man, overlooking a poor middle peasant with treasures in his family, and then telling you in an arrogant and triumphant voice: "How much is your player worth? Feel free to make an offer. Don't be afraid that we don't have money, money? What is that? The old man is poor now and only has money left! Well, hurry up and make an offer! Don't linger with your little family. Just say, as long as you make an offer, I will write you a check! Well, do you know how the check is? Well, do you know? That's good! Hurry up and say, I can say it. I'm not happy to say it without it. My identity is here. The price is low. First, it seems that I am not sincere, and the other is that I am stingy. Just sell it to me twice the price you said! No problem. Well, I don't think you dare to have a problem..."
Well, the Manchester City Club is now this image and mentality in the eyes of many people.
It can't be said that this mentality is bad, but very bad.
Many giants in Europe have sounded the air defense alarm, guarding that the Manchester City Club, which has an Arab father, is coveting its own star. The behavior of Manchester City Club reminds them of the horrible days and Chelsea a few years ago. Moreover, objectively speaking, at that time, Chelsea paid a little attention to 'rules', but now Manchester City Club is completely unconventional.
Well, Manchester City Club immediately sent a second offer to AC Manchester United Club for Zhang Yang: 60 million pounds!
Compared with the first quotation, the price is directly increased by 4 million pounds!
Well, if you buy more than 10 million pounds in other clubs, you have to save money for a long time. When you are bitter, the direct price increase of Manchester City Club is millions of pounds and millions of pounds. What is this? This is pride! This is courage! This is the rich man!
AC Milan Club had to respond to the second offer of 60 million pounds from Manchester City Club. The matter is getting bigger and bigger. It's impossible not to respond.
Galliani and Ancelotti, who gave up his vacation, met Berlusconi together. After confirming Ronaldinho's joining, he officially communicated and reported with Berlusconi on the purchase of many rich clubs, especially Manchester City Club. .
At that time, Berlusconi asked Galliani and Ancelotti's opinion.
Galliani's answer is, "Zhang Yang is the team's goal guarantee. With Zhang Yang, the team does not have to worry about goals for at least the next eight years! Therefore, Zhang Yang can't sell it!"
Ancelotti's answer is more direct. With publicity, he and the team dare to dream of any championship. Although he didn't say what would happen without Zhang Yang, this subtext has come out, that is, without Zhang Yang, he can't guarantee that the team will continue to win the championship.
Berlusconi obviously did not expect that his most important assistant and the team's head coach would be so respected. Galliani would say that he was more or less psychologically prepared. Unexpectedly, Ancelotti, who had always been a 'soft son', would also say such harsh words, which made Berlusconi unable to I don't think about it.
In fact, when the Manchester City Club first quoted 56 million pounds, Berlusconi was a little excited. Of course, he would not sell at this price, but we can continue to negotiate. The aura of the Arabs made Berlusconi see the possibility of making a big profit.
Doesn't Berlusconi know the strength of publicity? Don't you know the importance of publicity to the team? Of course he knows!
The most important thing is that Berlusconi has always been dissatisfied with Zhang Yang's personality. The label Berlusconi created for Milan is aristocratic temperament, politeness, and behavior like a gentleman of a century-old rich family.
Zhang Yang, who comes from the grassroots background, is unruly and often causes some things. These things will make the club very unhappy and embarrassing. Moreover, in the long run, you can't expect Zhang Yang to restrain his behavior too much. Although Italians don't know the phrase 'it's easy to change its nature', but, They know this truth.
In addition, there is another important point, which is the flag selection of the Milan club. Berlusconi likes Kaka very much. The core competition between Zhang Yang and Kaka has begun to emerge, and he must make a choice.
In addition, the funds of AC Milan Club have also begun to have problems. The club has also decided to tighten the money. Even at some point, Berlusconi was even moved by other clubs' purchase of Kaka. Now, Manchester City's high-priced purchase has made Berlusconi see a possibility. : That is to sell Zhang Yang at a high price, a boy he doesn't like very much. He can make a lot of money and withdraw funds. If the financial situation of the club improves, then there will be no hidden worries about selling the card.
However, now, the attitude of Galliani and Ancelotti makes Berlusconi realize that if he is forced to sell, it will cause chaos within the club!
It's different from selling Shevchenko in the summer of 2006. At that time, the phone door was hyped up, and Ukrainians were worried about the future of the club. Therefore, they offered to leave, and the club took advantage of the situation and sold Shepchenko to Chelsea, which was not only a large amount of money, but also did not trigger the ball. A large-scale protest.
However, now, although Zhang Yang has only joined AC Milan for one season, Zhang Yang's performance in Milan this season is perfect, scoring a goal! This is the most appropriate label for publicity in the whole Serie A!
Forty goals in the league is an unprecedented feat!
The whole Apennine Peninsula is marveling and cheering for this young man's feat. When the small World Cup is gradually declining, Zhang Yang's excellent performance gave the Italians confidence and made them seem to see the prosperity of Serie A during the former World Cup. They feel that there is a talented shooter like Zhang Yang in Serie A. In the game, the whole league will be more eye-catching.
As for the fans of AC Milan, they are completely conquered by Zhang Yang. At this time, if the team sells Zhang Yang, the fans will definitely not be willing, and there will be trouble!
Coupled with the firmness of Galliani and Ancelotti, Berlusconi had to think more.
Just when the high-profile and "arrogance" of the Manchester City Club became the talk after dinner, the 2008 Swiss-Austria European Cup began.
The European Cup officially kicked off at St. Jakob Park in Basel, Switzerland. The opening match was between the host Switzerland and the Czech Republic, the team in the semi-finals of the last European Cup.
In the face of the powerful host Switzerland, Bruckner scored 4-5-1 in the starting lineup. The 68-year-old Czech coach had lost the momentum before the game. 35-year-old Kohler was the only single arrow, and the Gao Lao center's performance in the 2007-08 Bundesliga was terrible. Kohler, who has a record of 54 goals in 87 games for the national team, was relegated to the second division with Nuremberg. Before the beginning of the European Cup, Kohler admitted that he would retire after the Cup. He is looking forward to the perfect end to his career in Switzerland and Austria. Unfortunately, Jankoler's performance was very bad.
What is quite interesting is that Kohler and Galasek happened to play together for the relegated Nuremberg Club last season, which shows how they were in the European Cup, but Bruckner had to place his great hopes on the veterans. Don't forget Uyfarusi, Grigra. The defensive line composed of Rosenal and Jankulovsky is also not young, and it was this group of players who shot in Portugal four years ago.
After the summer in Switzerland and Austria in 2008, it is sure that a large number of Czech internationals will bid farewell to the national team. First, the meritorious coach Bruckner decided to bid farewell, followed by many veterans represented by Kohler and Garázek. No matter what the Czech team's performance in Switzerland and Austria is, it should be said that they have lost. It's not just Nedvid and Rosiki who failed to be selected for the national team. The Czech team that was born in England in 1996 has become a memory. The Czech team that died in the group stage of the Netherlands and Belgium in 2000 has fallen. The Czech team in Portugal in 2004 has bloomed the last **, so far. In the 2008 European Cup, the Eastern European iron riders have aged.
So, objectively speaking, the performance of the Czech team in this game is very average, but the Swiss team shows an eye-catching side.
However, the football game is full of surprises.
The soul of the Swiss team, their captain was injured and left the field in the first half, which became a turning point in the game.
As a result, the Czech team scored a good start with a score of 1-0, and the substitute striker West Volcos scored the first goal of the European Cup in the 70th minute. It is also the only goal in the whole game.
Zhang Yang drank beer with his brothers, gnawed big ribs and ate barbecue and watched the game together. He decided to indulge himself at home these days and have fun with his brothers. At worst, increase the amount of training during copy training to maintain your weight and state.
Zhang Yang is still interested in the opening match between Switzerland and the Czech Republic, one of the host players. In addition to the two teams have their club teammates, there is also a player in the Swiss team that Zhang Yang pays more attention to, or that he used to be the idol that Zhang Yang envied!
I believe many people still remember that in the World Cup in Portugal four years ago, a young player from the Swiss national team scored a goal against France. Although he failed to help the team beat France, he broke the youngest goal scorer in the history of the European Cup held by Rooney.
He is the Swiss striker Feng Landang.
At that time, Zhang Yang had not yet gone to Marseille. At that time, he was still looking for his football dream. He felt gray in front of him and didn't know what his future would be. At that time, when he was watching the European Cup, he saw Feng Lantang's amazing performance and saw this boy famous in the first battle. Zhang Yang was full of envy and jealousy. Hate.
And if Feng Lantang knew that Zhang Yang, who is now popular in football, had all kinds of envy and hatred for himself, he didn't know how to feel.
Four years later, Feng Lantang returned to the European Cup again. In this game, Feng Lantang got a substitute, and his performance can be said to be amazing. When the team was one goal behind, Feng Lantang came on as a substitute. Soon he got a yellow card for a foul, but this did not affect Feng Lantang's performance, but stimulated him to perform better. He also became the player who threatened the Czech goal the most for the rest of the time. Especially when the game was 90 minutes, after Banetta's powerful shot was saved by Cech, the astuteful Feng Lantang inserted a supplementary shot. Cech had disarmed and surrendered. However, the crossbar blocked Feng Lantang's must-injection, which also killed Switzerland's hope of equalization. And this is also Switzerland's most threatening attack in the whole game.
Although it failed to help Switzerland rewrite the defeat and almost copied the glory of the goal four years ago, it was a pity that the goalpost blocked his score, but this could not hide his excellent performance.
At the end of the game, Switzerland lost the first game. Feng Lantang failed to save Switzerland. Zhang Yang, an outsider, said heartlessly in front of the TV, "It's a pity that this boy is not very lucky, haha. His strength is not bad. Why can't I hear from him in the past few years..."
Xiaobai curled his lips and said, "No matter how famous he is, how can he compare with our big star and your light, he is a firefly."
"Are you jealous?" Zhang Yang smiled and then said, "No wonder you always bullied me when I was together in the past. It turns out that you have always been jealous of my talent."
"Get out!"
"Ah ha ha!"
At this time, Zhang Yang's mobile phone rang. He looked at the caller number and frowned slightly.
"Whose phone number?" Xiao Si asked.
"Menders, my agent." Zhang Yang once told Mendes that during his vacation in China, Mendes had nothing too important to do, and it was better not disturb him. At this time, Mendes called. Could it be something big?
Seeing that Zhang Yang was a little stunned and didn't answer the phone, he patted him on the shoulder, "What are you stunned? Why don't you answer the phone? Maybe there is something important.
"Hmm." Zhang Yang nodded and pressed the answer button, "Hey, Jorge, where are you, Switzerland or Milan?"
PS: The first update. Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. At my father-in-law's house, the pig's head drank a little too much. Now what I want most is to have a good sleep, but I have to type the words. For the sake of the pig's head being so diligent, let's praise the pig's head. Well, happy New Year!
