181 The First Gate God
Carrara, a small city near Massa.
When Yang Cheng drove into the city, accompanied by Di Palma, he really had a very familiar feeling.
There are several houses made of square stones, neat and uniform, which are very similar to Yang Cheng's hometown, so he has that familiar feeling at a glance.
It's just that the stone of Carrara is whiter and the color is more dull.
"The biggest specialty here is this pure white marble!" Di Palma said with a smile.
Yang Cheng sat in the passenger seat and looked curiously at the surrounding buildings, although they are all houses made of square stones, but the buildings here are more Italian style, with arched windows and door frames, very Gothic roofs, etc., which were not seen in his hometown before.
"The environment here is good, but the seaside I passed by just now is too dirty and messy!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
When they came here just now, they passed by the sea, which should be connected to the Mediterranean, but it was like a bay, and the beach was very long and large, but it was very dirty, so there was no one to play in front of them.
It seems that it is the same everywhere in the world, and it is not necessarily the case that everyone knows how to use this natural resource wisely.
Di Palma seemed to be familiar with this place, so he went straight to the place he had agreed with Buffon, parked the car, and they went in.
It's a restaurant, but it's close to the sea and fishing port, so the seafood is more abundant.
They had come from Palma for more than an hour's drive, and they hadn't eaten anything, because they had ordered a few dishes to eat first, and it was still early anyway.
After eating, they chatted for a while, all about the construction of Yang Cheng's coaching team.
Di Palma was previously Parma's goalkeeper coach and is a very powerful goalkeeper coach, and he also single-handedly cultivated Buffon's Frei has also achieved brilliance under his coaching, and Di Palma has cultivated many well-known goalkeepers for Italian football, including Amelia, who has been selected by him.
However, today's Italian football does not pay enough attention to the members of the coaching staff, let alone the relatively obscure goalkeeper coaches.
Today's Italian goalkeeper talent is at its peak, with powerful stars like Pagliuca, Peruzzi, and Toldo, as well as the rise of rookies like Gianluigi Buffon, making everyone very confident about the future of goalkeepers in Italian football.
With such a subconscious, the situation of the goalkeeper coach is tragic.
It has always been an unwritten rule in the Italian coaching staff that goalkeeper coaches are paid the lowest salaries of any coaching staff, and the vast majority are even lower than those of the youth team.
There are many reasons for this result, and it will not be clear for a while.
Di Palma was Parma's goalkeeper coach last season, and Buffon's growth over the years has been inseparable from his help, and even his first appearance came from his encouragement, and Buffon himself has always regarded Di Palma as his mentor.
However, with the departure of Ancelotti, the new coach Ao Lian Malesani also brought his trusted goalkeeper coach Pesci, and Di Palma was directly relegated to the youth team as a coach, which made Di Palma unable to accept the announcement of his departure at the end of this season and planned to find a new team to play.
For the departure of a goalkeeper coach, Parma must not care, but Yang Cheng quickly found him and visited him personally, hoping that he could join his coaching staff, fill Ellman's shortcomings, and become the team's goalkeeper coach, for which he is willing to pay a lot of annual salary.
Di Palma, who is both a high-paid and a giant like Inter Milan who is suffering from not having a home, did not hesitate too much, nodded directly, and accompanied Yang Cheng to visit Buffon in person.
"Goalkeeping is an interesting position, but it also requires experience, Gianluigi Buffon is only two years old and young, he is very motivated, but the most important thing is to allow him to maintain a consistent performance for a long time, which Pesci has not done very well!" Yang Cheng has seen Buffon's performance in the second half of the game, and his form has fluctuated greatly.
"The main thing is that they can't get used to the young goalkeepers, they always habitually look at the older goalkeepers and think that they have enough experience, but in fact, whether they concentrate or not, is the most important thing for a goalkeeper, so my training is always thinking about how to make them better keep their attention, try to mobilize their enthusiasm, and then help them to concentrate in the game and better play their strength!" ,
Goal-line technique is really important for a goalkeeper, but concentration is absolutely the most important thing, because without concentration, even if you have good goal-line skills, how much can you play in the game?
Di Palma is still very confident in his own training method, after all, Buffon is in his hands, and he served as Parma's main goalkeeper at a young age, and he played very well.
"Do you think Gianluigi Buffon could make the switch to Inter Milan?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.
Di Palma thought for a moment, "It's not impossible, it's just that it's more difficult to convince Parma!" ”
"I have a way on the team's side, it's nothing more than the transfer fee, I plan to use 10 million US dollars, plus Paul, Sosa and Dabo, in exchange for Buffon!" Yang Cheng is clearly determined to win Buffon.
Di Palma was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement, "I'm afraid Parma won't refuse such an offer!" ”
As he spoke, he saw a young man in sportswear walk into the Italian restaurant with his hands in his jacket pockets and sunglasses, and Di Palma immediately stood up and waved at him.
"This is the head coach of Inter Milan, Caesar Yang Cheng!" Di Palma immediately introduced Buffon, "This is Buffon." ”
"Hello, Gianluigi!" Yang Cheng stood up and stretched out his hand to Buffon.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Buffon politely and humbly shook hands with Yang Cheng.
The three of them sat down together.
"I'm sure you've heard about Inter Milan's recent bid for Parma, right?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
Although Buffon was relatively young, he did not have the slightest stage fright in the face of Yang Cheng, and nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"What do you think?" Yang Cheng asked again.
Buffon looked down at the table, apparently thinking about how to answer.
"I'm sure I'm going to convince Parma that I want you to agree to a move to Inter because in my plan you're going to be a very important part of Inter Milan and you're going to replace Pagliuca as the team's goalkeeper." Yang Cheng said sincerely.
Sitting in front of him, but in the next ten years, the world's top goalkeeper, if he can get him, at least during Yang Cheng's tenure at Inter Milan, he doesn't need to worry about goalkeepers at all.
Seriously, Yang Cheng likes this kind of transfer measure once and for all, as if he likes to bring in the kind of mid-cow players who are powerful but not well-known and eager to succeed.
"Vincenzo, have you decided to join Inter Milan?" Buffon suddenly looked at Di Palma.
The latter nodded, "Mr. Yang Cheng invited me to join his coaching staff as a goalkeeper coach, and I agreed!" ”
After a pause, Di Palma was obviously also observing Buffon and decided to help Yang Cheng, "I believe that in the past period, you should also be able to appreciate a little thought, although this Parma team was once ambitious, but unfortunately, with the departure of Scala and Carlo Ancelotti, this team has begun to go into turmoil." ”
"But Inter Milan is no better!" Buffon said with a wry smile.
Although this team is a giant, it is a down-and-out giant, and it has long been known as a black hole of stars.
"Then I can guarantee that everyone can see a different Inter Milan in the new season!" Yang Cheng looked confident.
He already has a set of plans for the construction of this Inter Milan team, although Ness will not be able to come for the time being, but he is confident that he can fill the gap in the back line and ensure the stability of the team's backline.
For the current Inter Milan team, the back line is stable, and the results will naturally improve.
"Yes, Zhan Lu Ji, I am also optimistic about Mr. Yang Cheng's coaching future at Inter Milan, maybe you can think about it, after all, this is a big stage where you can really show your own strength, playing at Inter Milan and playing in Parma, it is absolutely different, it is a rare opportunity!" Di Palma continued to persuade.
Buffon shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know, but I'm just a player, and if you can convince the club, then there's no way I can't refuse, can I?" ”
After Yang Cheng heard this, he immediately laughed, nodded and said: "That's fine, Zhan Luigi, I believe that joining Inter Milan will be the most correct decision you have made!" ”,
Buffon also stood up and shook hands with Yang Cheng again, he knew that when Inter Milan wanted to bring in a player with a lot of money, few teams could refuse, maybe Lazio could do it for Nesta, but Parma would not do this kind of thing for Buffon, because the former is the flag of Lazio, and the latter is just a goalkeeper for Parma, nothing more.
After Yang Cheng met Buffon, he immediately returned to Parma and immediately sent a $10 million plus Paul, Sousa and Dapo transfer letters of intent.
Parma took this transfer intention very seriously and immediately began negotiations.
Last season's Parma team had limited strength, although ambitious, but unable to do anything, and now they continue to pay high prices to get Udinese's Amoruso, and the Tanzi family are in trouble with business and cannot continue to invest in the club, so it will be difficult for them to bring in reinforcements in other positions.
Both Boguang Sosa and Dapo were the players Malaisani wanted, so Parma immediately contacted Malaisani
As soon as the latter heard that selling Buffon could get Baoguang Sosa and Dabo, and at the same time he could get a transfer fee of 10 million US dollars, he suddenly didn't have much opinion, after all, there is still Guardaben in the team, and Reggina goalkeeper Missillo who was booked by Parma just after the season, these two players are very young, and their strength is also favored by Malaisani, but they always live in the shadow of Buffon.
If Buffon were to be sold for two experienced fighters and $40,000, Malaisani would have thought it would be a good deal.
So the two sides quickly reached an agreement, Parma allowed Inter Milan to officially contact Buffon, and the two sides could start negotiations on the contract, as long as the contract was negotiated, then Buffon would be an Inter player.
Yang Cheng didn't want to dream too much at night, so he immediately asked Facchetti to arrange contact with Buffon's agent in Milan City, and the two sides quickly sat down to talk, and the latter was also very willing to Buffon to join the giants, so he didn't worry too much about the contract, after all, the salary offered by Inter Milan was higher than Parma, and the contract treatment was also very good.
After this series of formalities, Inter Milan officially finalized the first transfer of the season, adding Paulo, Sousa and Dapo for 40,000 US dollars, to bring in the future world number one god, Buffon!
After finalizing Buffon's transfer, Yang Cheng sat in Milan City, commanded Inter Milan's transfer army, and attacked everywhere.
Under the urging of Yang Cheng, Inter Milan soon reached a franchise agreement with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nedved, and Lucio, and they all signed franchise contracts with the club.
As for Panucci, Real Madrid did not care about this player before Piri had many contacts with Inter Milan, and the time Yang Cheng met him at the Meazza Stadium, he came for Pasuc's transfer.
The two sides have the previous foundation, Yang Cheng once again confirmed that after this transfer, Real Madrid did not have too much tug-of-war, and directly joined Inter Milan with 10 million US dollars, Panucci, the world's No. 1 right-back.
In Bari, Fachetti personally arrived in Bari to meet the full-back Zambro who plays here, and the future Italian national team Facchetti is actually no stranger, as he opened the scoring for the team when he visited the Meaza Stadium last season and helped Bari beat Inter Milan away.
At Yang Cheng's request, Fachetti came to Bari in person, met with Zambrog, and told Inter Milan about his invitation, hoping that he could join Inter Milan.
But at the same time, Juventus and AC Milan have also been in contact with the player for a long time, and Inter Milan's offer can even be said to have come a little late.
But Fachetti immediately threw out his temptation at the first meeting, the main position!
This is a guarantee that Juventus and AC Milan cannot give, and then Yang Cheng personally called Zambro and personally dissected his use of him, promising that he will become an important member of the Inter Milan team in the new season.
"I know you may be a little worried, but I can promise you that Inter Milan will be a team full of fighting power in the new season, and from this season, Inter Milan will embark on the road of full recovery, and you will become an important member of Inter Milan's recovery road!" ,
Maybe it was Yang Cheng's persuasion that played a role, or maybe Zambrotta was really optimistic about Inter Milan, or because his hometown Como was very close to Inter Milan's training base, in short, I don't know what the reason was, anyway, in the end Zambrot agreed to join Inter Milan.
Facchetti made an offer of $8 million directly to Barry, and then went on to offer Zambro a contract and reached a preliminary agreement with him.
In this way, Zancherotta finally switched to Inter Milan for $8 million.
The transfer market has been carried out so far, and the major teams in Serie A are in full swing in the arms race, among which Inter Milan has invested the most, but the improvement in strength is also the most obvious. $45 million to package Vanney, Nedved and Lucio, which would have been impossible if it weren't for Yang Cheng; $8 million to bring in Zambro; $10 million got the third goalkeeper of the national team, Gianluigi Buffon; $10 million got Panucci.
With a total investment of $73 million, as well as Paulo, Sousa and Dabo's additions, Inter Milan immediately kicked off a round of transfer climax in Serie A at the beginning of the transfer market, especially among the players they introduced, Juventus and AC Milan secretly coveted, but did not make a move, and now they can only secretly hate.
At the same time as completing these transfers, Inter Milan is also completing a big purge, and the team, including Coe, Moreiro and other players, have been sold by Yang Cheng, but the current sale has just begun, and it is expected that about $30 million can be recovered from these players.
This is not to say that Inter Milan's players are very expensive, in fact, 17 players were sold for a price of $30 million, and Yang Cheng really felt that he had lost to his grandmother's house.
But in Yang Cheng's view, a sell-off is inevitable.
The reason for this is also very simple, many of these players are either not strong enough to establish themselves at Inter Milan, or they are outdated stars, but they are all paid high salaries, which is absolutely unacceptable to any club.
Running a club is not about opening a good church, not about kindness, but about efficiency.
What Yang Cheng has to do now is to guide Inter Milan from the emotional ruling phalanx of the previous Moratti period back to the normal club management system, and help Inter Milan establish an orderly management system.
In addition, eliminating those bloated subordinates can greatly reduce the burden on Inter Milan and greatly improve the team's competitiveness, which is why Yang Cheng sold players as soon as he took office in Yang Cheng's previous life.
However, the outside Inter Milan fans obviously could not understand this kind of move, and they began to doubt Yang Cheng's transfer strategy, believing that this kind of crazy selling move would greatly reduce the team's competitiveness.
Today's Yang Cheng seems to have stood in the position of Lippi in his previous life, and has been questioned and bombarded by Inter Milan fans from the beginning, but what makes him better than Lippi is that he left Bergomi, who promised to stay in the team and serve as Yang Cheng's spokesperson in the locker room.
And Yang Cheng is better than Lippi in other ways, he is not as expensive as Lippi, and he has let go of outstanding talents such as Sihone, Zanetti and Pirlo, he is just selling some redundant players in the team to save the pool, and I believe that Inter Milan will be more competitive in the new season.
After arranging these, Yang Cheng handed over to Fachetti to carry out three transfers, two midfielders and one central defender, and then he went to Silicon Valley alone.
Inter Milan wants to set up a laboratory, and it is necessary to find specialized talents in programming, and Yang Cheng must go to this matter in person to ensure that the other party can understand his needs, accompanied by Tim Hank and Chris Schmidt.
