Chapter 512: After the Meeting (2)

PS: Thanks for the tip of "I am the wilderness".

When Zhuang Mingge heard that Zeng Jia resolutely gave up the high salary offered by the Qataris and returned to Inter Milan as the third goalkeeper, he was also quite surprised.

You know, the Qataris offered Zeng Jia a three-year contract with a total of $3 million! For the former Italian international, who is already in the twilight of his career, this contract can be said to be very generous, and it is impossible for any club in Europe to offer such a huge salary to Zeng Gao, who has been in serious form and ability. Because if they did, it would be easy to upset the salary balance within the team and cause displeasure among other players.

Therefore, when Inter Milan brought Zeng Jia back to Meazza with a three-year contract with an annual salary of 350,000 yuan, it caused Zhuang Mingge's surprise, and he was still a post-90s generation before the crossing, and he rarely saw a player willing to sacrifice such a big financial interest to return to his parent team to play.

Boss Mo made a very good publicity at this time, and after signing back the veteran Zeng Jia, he publicly announced it to the public; Considering that Zenga has made great sacrifices for the team in terms of financial interests, in order to compensate the veteran goalkeeper who has dedicated almost his entire career to Inter Milan, he decided to offer him a job within the club according to his personal wishes after Zenga's retirement.

In other words, Zeng Jia no longer has to worry about his livelihood after retirement.

Staying at the club after retiring from the sport, and being at a club like Inter Milan, is undoubtedly the most desirable job for these players.

Moratti has succeeded in motivating the Inter players in this way - because Moratti has set them a goal with the vivid example of Zeng Ga, that is, if someone has made an outstanding contribution to the club, then Inter Milan will also reward them after they retire, such as a staff contract to work for the club.

Don't doubt the appeal of this job to these players, there are very few stars like David Beckham who can still shine after retirement, and many more professional players use the money saved from their short playing careers to sustain their long lives after retirement. As a result, many players are struggling to find a job to support their families after retiring.

"Massimo (Moratti) is really clever in this move, so it is estimated that many Inter Milan players will plan to fight there for life." Sitting in the office, Zhuang Mingge put down the newspaper in his hand with the news of Zeng Jia's return to Inter Milan and said.

"Yes, I didn't expect the chairman to think of such a hand, and it is estimated that the sense of belonging and loyalty of the Inter Milan players to the club will be greatly increased at this time." Karin is also on the sidelines to analyze the hidden interests.

"Well, Massimo is out of the question, now our task is to count the number of homegrown players and academy players in the first team and make a plan for the future of the team." Zhuang Mingge said, returning to the work in front of him, "I don't want to lose the club because of my plan. ”

"No problem, Tony."

After returning to Fiorentina, Zhuang Mingge began to conduct a thorough inventory of the Fiorentina first team, and he did not want to see his team end up being pitted by the reform plan he promoted.

Zhuang Mingge was quite satisfied with the results of the count: Zambrotta (joined in '95) and Zanetti (from the Fiorentina youth team) in the first team can be counted as Fiorentina's academy players, just enough to meet the requirements; In terms of local players, Ferrara, Fortunato, Nesta, Tomasi, Vieri, Inzaghi, Toldo, Guadalben, Di Biagio...... Coupled with Zambrotta and Zanetti, two academy players, Fiorentina, a homegrown player, is definitely overdone.

As for the increase in the number of youth players in the next few years, Zhuang Mingge is also ready:

Nesta, for example, is only a homegrown Fiorentina player at the moment, but from January next year, the new Italian centre-back will be able to play for Fiorentina as an academy player.

Because Nesta joined the Purple Lily in January 1995, he will be exactly three years old at the beginning of next year, and Nesta is not yet 22 years old at that time, which means that he is stuck on the upper age limit defined by youth players, and he can become a member of Fiorentina's youth list at that time.

Add to that Andrea Pirlo, who is on loan at Vicenza, and Perrotta and Gattuso, who are playing at Monaco, and Zhuang Mingge is quite sure that as long as these players can be retained, Fiorentina will not have to worry about the names on the academy list for the next decade.

Among the seven sisters of Serie A, the most calm person is probably Mo Lao Fox, because Juventus has always had the style of reusing local players, from the five Sentimenti brothers to Bonipelti, from Capello to Bertega, from Cabrini, Hirea, Gentille to the current Pesoto, Pierrot and Tachinadi, Juventus will never lack excellent Italian internationals, and naturally will not worry about the number of academy players.

The Roma duo and Parma have a decent academy system, and since the club can't compete financially with the deep-pocketed northern trie, they use their newcomers much more than Milan's: the Red Wolves have Totti, Petruch and Blasi, the Blue Eagles have Grandoni and Di Vaio, and Parma have Gianluigi Buffon and Brambilla...... So these three teams easily met the target of two academy players.

As for other clubs, under the restrictions of this new plan, they have also begun to pay attention to the training of young players, instead of buying foreign semi-finished products because of the long return cycle and slow results, as in the past, and completely forgetting their own youth training system.

With their worries relieved, teams have refocused on the transfer market, only this time they will not only have to bring in reinforcements, but also be careful not to exceed the maximum number of first-team players. If there are a few more players, not only will the clubs pay them, but the players will not be able to play because of the rules, and they will be depressed.

Just as the Serie A teams were struggling to adjust the first-team lineup within the rules, four days passed quietly, and the meeting convened by the Italian Football Federation finally came belatedly in Zhuang Mingge's ardent anticipation.
