Chapter 957 - How Do You Call Others to Play?
Like most other Serie A teams, Juventus? The office headquarters is not located in the stadium.
Before, it was because the ownership of the stadium did not belong to Juventus, but now it is because it is used to it.
Turin's Via Ferraris, compared to the bustling city of Milan, is like a small street at the junction of urban and rural areas.
Juventus' headquarters are located here, a building that looks very, very ordinary from the outside.
If anything, it's that Juventus' office building has four floors, while most of the rest of the surrounding buildings are one- or two-storey bungalows.
Don't look very ordinary from the outside, but the inside is very elegantly decorated.
It's not luxurious, on the contrary, it's ordinary, a little old, but it's neatly packed and comfortable.
All the departments of the club are gathered in this small four-storey building, the chairman, the general manager, the sports department, the finance department, the marketing department, the public relations department...... Even the people from the sales department and the football promotion department are here.
This makes the small building, which was not spacious, even more crowded.
Fortunately, the divisions of each floor and area are relatively standardized, so there are no problems.
But all the sponsors, when they come here, the first impression is, this is the heart of Juventus?
Therefore, in order to better reflect the image of the club, they have begun to propose a plan to build a training base around the new stadium, as well as an office building for the club.
It is said that this is the beginning of the year!
Go up the spiral staircase in the lobby on the first floor to the third floor, and directly opposite, the largest room is the conference room.
At this moment, the lights are on in the conference room, and the heads of departments are sitting here discussing the various matters of this summer's team.
There are mainly two major events, one is the transfer of reinforcements, which is also what fans are most concerned about.
The other is the summer preparations, the highlight of which is the International Champions Cup.
Juventus were drawn to the Asian zone when they drew the draw this year, which is a very good choice for the people in Juventus' marketing department, because they have been in North America in the past, and now they are coming to Asia to expand the influence of the Bianconeri.
It would be even better if I could take the opportunity to sign a few sponsorship contracts.
However, the focus of the management discussion is still on transfers.
It was regrettable that Juventus failed to qualify for the Champions League last season, but what is even more sad is that they lost the Serie A title, which is not a good sign.
You must know that Italian football has always been conservative and attaches great importance to its own league.
In the past few years, Juventus has been firmly rooted in the domestic league, wanting to regain the dominance of the Bianconeri in the past, but now it has been replaced by Inter Milan, which must not stop there.
What is even more unacceptable is that Inter Milan has a group of outstanding stars in the team, on the other hand, Juventus, both in terms of player quality and head coaching, are lagging behind Inter Milan.
Although when it comes to the outside world, they can say ironically that it is easy to do things with money, but in fact, they know in their hearts that the rise of Inter Milan is not just about having money.
Can you have money to gather such a group of players?
This is too simple to imagine in European football!
Therefore, Juventus this summer, from top to bottom, have a unified goal, which is to regain the league title.
If you want to regain the league title, you have to strengthen the reinforcements and improve the strength of the team.
Coach Allegri's move target is to strengthen the midfield, especially midfielders, wings and forwards.
Juventus' attack has been problematic since Llorente's departure, and it is necessary to bring in a high-level striker.
As for the midfield, although there are strong stars such as Pirlo, Marchisio, Guarin and Hernanes, Pirlo is already old and must bring in another creative midfielder to take Pirlo's class.
As for the wings, this is also a long-standing problem for Juventus.
In the Italian league, there has always been a traditional saying that those who win the wings win the world.
Although Italy is not rich in wide players, throughout the past few years, every Serie A hegemon has often had a strong wing star, so it is quite necessary to strengthen the wing reinforcements.
The goal is very clear, and the target is locked early, but there is a problem in the link of recruitment.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the whole conference room seems to be a little inappropriate.
"I just spoke to the general manager of Schalke 04 on the phone and they told me that the deal for Draxler to move to Bayern Munich has been basically finalized and that the transfer fee will be as high as 40 million euros."
"In addition, I also received confirmation from Hoffenheim that Firmino will switch to Bayern Munich and be worth 40 million euros!"
Giuseppe Marotta, with his distinctive voice, announces these two pieces of unsatisfactory news.
Draxler and Roberto Firmino, the more popular attackers in the transfer market this summer, are both from the Bundesliga, but they were both eaten by Bayern Munich.
80 million euros, the Bundesliga squad looks scared!
"Last season, Peking King Hamburg rose strongly in the Bundesliga, although it only won the league runner-up in the end, but once knocked Bayern Munich off the horse and successfully reached the top, which is too much of a threat to Bayern Munich."
Speaking of this, Giuseppe Marotta shook his head and sighed, "More importantly, Bayern Munich originally wanted to bring in Douglas Costa and Kingsley Koeman from the Hamburg team to replace Ribery and Robben, but Hamburg's Beiersdorf refused to sell at all, and the player had no intention of leaving." ”
"It's not a good thing for Bayern Munich!"
You know, in the past, Bayern Munich was able to run rampant in the Bundesliga, relying on strong strength and strong capital, and their style of action has always been, I can kill you on the pitch, then we will solve it on the pitch.
If I can't beat you on the pitch, then I'm poaching you in the transfer market.
But now, they can't win Hamburg on the field, and last season's two-legged duel, Bayern Munich lost one and drew one, no win!
The idea of poaching Hamburg in the transfer market also failed, so Bayern Munich had to turn to other replacements, namely Draxler and Roberto Firmino.
These two players should be considered the most confident for Bayern Munich to bring in.
But in this way, it will hurt Juventus.
Originally, Juventus were also interested in these two players and wanted to get one of them.
But now, both players are out of the loop.
"What about the striker?" Club President Andre Agnelli asked with concern with a frown.
'I got in touch with Manchester City and they told me that Dzeko has left, but it hasn't been announced yet.
"Left?" Andrea Agnelli was a little surprised.
'Yes, they brought in Aboubakar from Hamburg and Dzeko was part of the deal and will move to Hamburg for the new season.
"Burgers?" André Agnelli read the name.
Marotta sighed, "Yes, Hamburg is also Yang Huan's team. ”
"I'll rub!" André Agnelli scolded indignantly.
Marotta smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Bayern Munich also felt the threat because of this, Dzeko's strength is undoubted, the former Bundesliga Golden Boot, strong frontcourt control, partners Douglas Costa and Kingsley Koeman, the frontcourt trident of the Hamburg team, compared to last season, only stronger than last season!" ”
Andrea Agnelli shook his head uncontrollably, what kind of people are under this Yang Huan?
The transfer operation is so shrewd and so efficient, this is outrageous, right? How do you ask others to play?
"Yang Huan's current gameplay is obviously beyond the scope of professional football, he organized a group of consultants, who are responsible for studying team tactics, analyzing team problems, and giving specific solutions, and even drawing up a list of reinforcements, and then handing it over to professionals to be responsible for specific operations."
Some people specialize in the art industry, some people are good at finding players, and some people are good at transfer operations, and they have their own strengths.
"I also received news that Bayern Munich is said to have been able to bleed heavily this time, bringing in Draxler, Firmino and Benatia in a big way, and a very important reason is that they decided to sell several players in the team to cash out."
"Who?" Andre Lapini asked.
"Reina, but already went to Naples."
André Lapinli smiled slightly, they have Buffon, not less than a Reina.
"Gotze and Dent are also being said to be leaving!"
"Gotze and Dante?" Andre Lapli's eyes lit up.
Needless to say, Gotze is Germany's most promising talented midfielder, and although Dante can't play at Bayern Munich, he still has the strength.
Although Juventus is not short of people at the back, what can be picked up from big teams is usually synonymous with good quality and low price, and Juventus has never done such a thing, such as Pirlo.
If Gotze and Dante can be brought in from Bayern Munich, it will greatly improve the strength of Juventus.
"Dante is not considering leaving the Bundesliga because he will be able to get a German green card in two years, so he ......"
Giuseppe Marotta sighed, "As for Götze, I haven't thought about leaving the Bundesliga for the time being, and, according to the information I have received, Gotze's agent has been in close contact with Hamburg, and the reason why Bayern Munich wants to sell Gotze is because Hamburg paid a high price, which is said to reach 30 million euros." ”
30 million euros, the introduction of a Götze who can't play the main force in Bayern Munich is worth it, it's hard to say.
But if it's a team in another league, I'm afraid it may not do this kind of thing, after all, the risk is too great.
And in the Bundesliga, I am afraid that the only one who can give this money is Hamburg.
After they sold Abubakar, they made a lot of money, and of course they had a lot of money.
When André Agnelli heard this, he shook his head and sighed in frustration.
"Cuadrado went to Inter Milan, Dzeko went to Hamburg, Napoli didn't even think of selling Hamsic, and now Draxler and Firmino are frustrated again, Gotze is doomed, and we only have one last target left!"
Speaking of which, André Agnelli stared at Giuseppe Marotta.
'In recent times, there has been a lot of news about Inter Milan, we lost out again in the race to bring in Cuadrado, and seeing that Inter Milan are getting stronger and stronger, we have to do something.
Giuseppe Marotta nodded, "I understand, Mr. Agnelli, we're already in a hurry. ”
After a pause, he typed a new PPT on the big screen in the conference room, with two players on it.
'Sevilla striker Baca and Ajax striker Luis Adriano, both of these players are our targets, especially Bacca, but it is said that the likes of AC Milan's Tohir are also actively bringing in this player.
There is no way, the stronger players are too sought-after, and if they can't compete with their opponents, they can only retreat.
Fighting with AC Milan always has a better chance of winning than fighting against a giant team.
"As for the midfield, we have a target as well, and that is Roma's ......"
But just as Giuseppe Marotta typed a PPT of a Roma player, Andrea Agnelli's mobile phone on the table suddenly clicked.
The Juventus president took his phone and looked at it, then at Marotta, and smiled bitterly.
"Needless to say, he was also the first to be taken!"
For a moment, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.
What's going on here?
