"Sorry to keep you waiting, Alberto!" Xiao Yu smiled and apologized, and then sat down, he spoke in a tone as if he was talking to a friend he had known for a long time.

In fact, they did talk for a long time, and they had a great time.

"Oh, it's okay, Xiao Yu, I'm not in a hurry anyway!" Alberto responded with a smile.

Sitting in front of Xiao Yu is a tough middle-aged Italian man of about forty, who is not small, which may have something to do with him playing football since he was a child, but his football career is not brilliant, he was born in the Rome academy, but he can only play in the third division or even lower teams for the rest of his life.

After retiring at a young age, he opted to become a football coach and is currently a member of the coaching staff at Ostia's local amateur club, Ostimare, but he chose the club because of his son.

In fact, Alberto's son is not very good at Ostimarelli, he is 16 years old this year, but he has never shown the characteristics of a good striker, which is why Alberto often takes his son to the academy in Rome for trials, but he is not selected once.

16 years old can be said to be a very sensitive age, excellent players can already play in the first team at the age of 16, even if it is not good, at least they can play some aspects of advantages and abilities.

Alberto's son, however, has almost nothing to praise about him, he is small, skilled, not too tall and strong, or even worse than the average 16-year-old, the only thing that is commendable is his madness when he comes on the pitch.

Although he played as a striker, he actually ran almost all over the field, which is one of the two main reasons why the amateur club was willing to take him in: fitness and hard work; And then there's his father, who works at the club.

But Xiao Yu, as a traverser, knows that this little ghost who is not even willing to be accepted by an amateur club is the future captain of the Italian national team, and a powerful defender that the entire European giants are eager to see, Daniel De Rossi!

'Frankly, Alberto, I also understand that you don't want to leave Roma, you don't want to leave Italy, but it's not always an option, you know, it's just an amateur club, you're a good youth coach and we're building a youth team and we're really hoping you can join us.'

Although Xiao Yu is asking for De Rossi, in fact, he is using Alberto De Rossi as an entry point.

For the time being, if you talk about the fame and potential of the two now, there is no doubt that the old De Rossi is better, it is said that even the Roma youth team tryout will invite him to be the interim coach, and then after De Rossi entered the Roma academy, he became the coach of the Roma youth team.

Let's not mention that old De Rossi should have good ability, even if he doesn't, just rushing to hire him to be able to keep De Rossi is enough to make Xiao Yu make up his mind.

This is a bit like Xiao Yu hiring Jorge in order to retain Messi!

"Xiao Yu, I'm glad to be appreciated by your club, but I'm doing well in Rome, and I don't quite understand why your England team would come to Italy to select youth team coaches?" Alberto was clearly well thought out.

"Alberto, you said before that you have been professionally trained in football theory, so I think you should know that the future development trend of football will be more and more complicated, and it is no longer possible to simply pursue a style, such as Italy, you can only be conservative and just blindly pursue a reinforced concrete defense?"

"The style of football in England is wide open and close, and the long ball is very impressive, but in the next few years, the teams in England, especially the clubs, will become more and more technical, if you look at Arsenal in the Premier League at the moment, Manchester United who won the treble last year, do you think they are still pure English football style?"

"On the basis of retaining the core football philosophy, learning from each other's strengths and complementing each other's weaknesses is the only way to be able to thrive in the long run." At this moment, Xiao Yu thought of Ferguson and Barcelona, although their two tactical systems have been inherited, they have actually been changing.

On the other hand, Arsenal, Professor Arsene Wenger's football literacy is no problem, but why did Arsenal never achieve brilliant results in the early stage? Can you say that the Arsenal players are young?

To paraphrase Mourinho, Arsenal say every year that players are young, but in reality? After all these years, Cesc Fabregas has matured, Van Persie has matured, and even Walcott has begun to mature.

Could it be that this group of players is still young?

Arsene Wenger is a very outstanding coach, but he's still hard to match Ferguson's greatness!

"It's a very special idea of yours, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and I'm afraid not many Italian teams will notice it now." Alberto praised in admiration.

Xiao Yu felt ashamed for a while, but he was able to shake the tiger body based on his football knowledge for more than ten years than others, as well as some knowledge that he had often soaked in football forums on the Internet before.

If I shake a few more times, I'm afraid I'm going to shake the sky!

"So, Alberto, I think you should go to England and have a look, although Italian football is brilliant at the moment, I can assure you that in the next ten years, the focus of the world's fans will be on the Premier League, and our club's goal is the Premier League!"

When he said this, Xiao Yu was confident.

If Xiao Yu didn't have much confidence when he stayed in the Northwest Amateur League before, then all of a sudden, from the Northwest Region Second Division League to the National League, Xiao Yu felt as if he had suddenly broken free from a lot of shackles and entered a broader world.

And what makes Xiao Yu even more pleased is that the labor certification issue, which is the most headache for Premier League teams in later generations, is not applicable in the English National League, it is only limited to the professional league, which means that the new Manchester United does not have to worry about labor certification this season.

Of course, this does not mean that Xiao Yu can be unscrupulous to bring in reinforcements, after all, he still has to consider the current situation of the team and whether people are willing to come!

"Seriously, Xiao Yu, your ambition is very tempting, and I believe in your sincerity and your understanding of the future of football, but I still have to say, I'm sorry, my family and I are used to living in Rome, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for them to adapt to it."

Xiao Yu immediately smiled when he heard this, "Alberto, in fact, I can guess some of your worries. ”

Being stared at by Xiao Yu, Old De Rossi felt as if he had been seen through, and couldn't help but feel a little weak.

"Is it because of your son, Daniel?" Xiao Yu asked suddenly.

Old De Rossi was obviously taken aback, but quickly changed to a wry smile and nodded, "He's very obsessed with football. ”

"And what if I give him a youth contract too?" Xiao Yu asked again.

Old De Rossi was taken aback again, "This ......"

"Don't worry, Alberto, it's not because of you, it's because I trust you, and frankly, you always thought Daniel could be a great player, so you took him to the Rome camp every time, but he disappointed you every time, but you didn't give up, didn't you?"

"Have you heard of Ivan Gattuso?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Of course, I heard that AC Milan has a crush on him!" Old De Rossi is clearly familiar with Serie A.

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's him, I think, Daniel has a very similar quality to him, if Daniel really joins our team, I think I will consider letting him play as a midfielder, you know, his running ability has always been excellent, as for physical fitness, I think he can be helped by reasonable training and scientific diet, our club has always been equipped with experts in this area." ”

Old De Rossi was taken aback when he heard it, because De Rossi has always played as a striker, but it is obvious that Old De Rossi is not the kind of person who is stubborn, and he quickly figured out what Xiao Yu meant.

Since he didn't show his talent in the striker position, it would be better to try a different position.

"Seriously, Alberto, our club really needs you to join, you can give your opinion or what you think of our club, we will try to satisfy you as much as possible!" Xiao Yu can be said to have given his greatest sincerity.

Alberto thought for a while, obviously moved by Xiao Yu's rhetoric, and finally nodded.

"Okay, Xiao Yu, I agree to consider your proposal, but I can't promise you anything now, I still have to discuss it with my family, especially my wife, she also has a job here."

Xiao Yu laughed when he heard this, "That's no problem, our club will come forward to help your wife contact work, you know, fans in England are very fanatical and loyal, once they hear that it is the wife of the club coach who is looking for a job, it must be a lot of people rushing to hire, and you can let your wife pick slowly." ”

Xiao Yu said it interestingly, and Alberto laughed when he heard it.

The old De Rossi, who went to a heart disease again, obviously began to be interested in Xiao Yu's employment, and Xiao Yu also introduced his determination to run the club to the other party while the iron was hot.

When Old De Rossi heard that Xiao Yu had spent three million pounds to buy a training base, his surprised expression could be stuffed into an egg, which made Xiao Yu, who had originally planned to say that he intended to buy the District Athletic Stadium, suddenly swallowed it back.

After some talking, both of them said goodbye happily.

Xiao Yu temporarily stayed in Ostia's hotel, waiting for news from Old De Rossi.

But what Xiao Yu didn't expect was that early the next morning, Old De Rossi actually found Xiao Yu directly.
