No. 82 Two core issues

After the Champions League was promoted, the whole Milan team did not rest, today's AC Milan training session was led by assistant coach Tasotti to train everyone, at this time Ancelotti was in the office of the club's vice president Galliani, there were not only him and Galliani in the office, but also a guest.

Boscolet, Kaka's father, is also Kaka's agent.

AC Milan fans are most willing to see Kaka on the pitch, but the last thing Milan executives such as AC Milan vice president Galliani want to see is definitely Kaka's father Boskolet. Since Kaka joined AC Milan, Bosco has come to Milan every year, shaking a large number of invitations from various giants to Kaka and asking AC Milan to give Kaka a raise.

When Kaka joined AC Milan from Sao Paulo in 2003, his annual salary was only 1.7 million euros.

This was also normal, Kaka was only 21 years old at the time, and he was still a rookie, and he couldn't ask for a big contract.

A season later, Kaka has pushed Rui Costa to the bench, and the Brazilian talent is the unshakable absolute workhorse of AC Milan, and the value of AC Milan has naturally risen, and AC Milan has increased his annual salary to 2.5 million euros.

By 2005, when his contract with Milan was renewed for the second time, Kaka's annual salary rose to 3.5 million euros.

Well, at this time, not many people have questions about Kaka's salary increase year after year. First of all, AC Milan must ensure that Kaka's contract is always maintained for a maximum period, that is, the 5-year period stipulated by FIFA, and it is natural to renew Kaka's contract after each season; Secondly, Kaka's level is there, and it is not appropriate to only renew Kaka's contract without giving him a raise. 1.7 million euros is unlikely to keep the Brazilian talent.

In addition, it is important to know that in order to transfer from Sao Paulo to AC Milan. Kaka himself suffered financial losses. Because Sao Paulo was not satisfied with AC Milan's offer, he asked Kaka to give up the signing fee he deserved, and Kaka responded that "I don't need money, I just want to play for AC Milan" and did not hesitate to give up the nearly 1.3 million euros that belonged to him. That's not a lot for a rookie, but Kaka can resolutely abandon it, so. A lot of people believe that Kaka doesn't play for money.

The phonegate of 2006 was a turning point between Kaka and AC Milan. AC Milan are embroiled in a 'phonegate' scandal with rumours rife and the worst possible outcome could even be relegation. This left Kaka with doubts about AC Milan.

It was at this time that Real Madrid president CalderΓ³n launched an offensive against Kaka, who began to lose his mind. This gave Bosco room to operate, with Kaka's father having dinner with Mijatovic in Madrid and returning to Milan to discuss a contract extension with Galliani. Seeing the signature star in his heart. AC Milan was also anxious, and Galliani agreed to Bosco's financial demands when Kaka was still in the World Cup - an annual salary of 6 million euros, the highest salary in Serie A.

On June 23, 2006, AC Milan officials couldn't wait to announce the success of Kaka's contract renewal, which was also to stabilize the morale of the army. Sure enough, after the news was announced, the team's morale began to slowly stabilize, and some players who planned to leave the team to seek a transfer were also relieved. The popular Kaka has chosen to stay in the team. Naturally, they don't have a reason to go. This time, though, the Rossoneri were in a hurry. happily gave Kaka a raise, but Kaka's father Boskolet seemed to see a steady stream of euros.

2007 was a year of Kaka's popularity, the Brazilian had a good performance in all competitions, he and Jonk almost supported Milan's offensive line, without Kaka and now Milan, it is impossible to stabilize Dìng in the top four of the league early to impact the Champions League.

Boskolet is good at dancing with long sleeves, not only with Real Madrid, who is not dead to Kaka, but even brought in top giants such as Barcelona and Manchester United. On the one hand, Boskolet has made enough benefits in the hands of several big clubs, and on the other hand, he has offered AC Milan a contract extension clause: a 40% salary increase.

This condition put forward by Boscolette was not accepted by AC Milan for a while, and Galliani did not dare to break the salary structure of the team lightly, so that Kaka's annual salary exceeded Pirlo, Gattuso and Inzaghi too much, which is obviously inappropriate. However, Boskolet is clearly not in a hurry, he is very smart, and Kaka's father understands that with Kaka's excellent performance in the 2006/2007 season, there is no suspense about winning the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year, and the pressure to renew Kaka's contract will fall on AC Milan.

At the same time, Bosko did not waste his chance, and in the summer of 2007 he used Kaka to force AC Milan to give his other son Digan a salary increase of 1 million euros, which is just a young defender who has just been promoted to the first team. You know, Maldini's annual salary at that time was only 2 million. In fact, this is equivalent to AC Milan having to give Kaka a salary increase in disguise in order to avoid breaking the salary balance, although this is a salary increase for Kaka's younger brother Digan, but, everyone knows, in fact, it is for Kaka's salary increase.

However, Bosco's greed did not end there, on the contrary, the success of the contract renewal war for many years has infinitely inflated Bosco's ambitions.

No, Boskolet came to Galliani's office again.

"Gentlemen, congratulations on winning a crucial game."

"Thank you." Galliani made Bosco a cup of coffee without changing his face and sat down. At the same time, Ancelotti's face next to him changed slightly, and he could almost guess the purpose of Bosco's arrival.

Ancelotti also has a lot of complaints about Kaka's father's greed, although how much salary the club gives to the players is the club's business, and the money is not from him Ancelotti, but if it goes on like this, it will be a very bad signal.

If nothing else, Kaka now receives the highest annual salary in Serie A at 9 million euros, which is a lot higher than many people in the team. For example, Jonker, Jonk's current annual salary is 4.5 million euros, which is exactly half of Kaka's, and looking at Jonk's current excellent performance, and the contribution he has made to the team, even more than Kaka, if Jonk applies for a raise, what should the club do?

If Kaka, a young man, has received a raise, what about Pirlo and Inzaghi? It's a ripple effect problem. If it is not handled well, it will cause conflicts in the team's locker room.

After all, the players work hard. Although there are reasons for the love of this sport, no one can deny that it is also to make money. If you take more of others, and your contribution is not much less than that person, you will naturally feel unbalanced.

What's more, Kaka just got a salary increase at the beginning of the year, and now Kaka's annual salary of 9 million euros is already the highest in Serie A. It's only been half a year, and I'm looking for it again, which is too much.

Furthermore. Another thing that makes Galliani and Ancelotti unhappy is that at the most critical moment of the team's impact on the Champions League, Bosko came to talk about certain things at this time, which is not adding to the chaos!

"Mr. Wright. How could I have time to come to my office. Galliani asked deliberately. Boskolet is really uninvited. Of course, I said hello to Galliani before I came.

"That's right, I'd like to talk to you about my son's Kakadi......" Boskolet said.

Galliani pretended to be surprised, "Kaka? What happened to him? ”

"I think the team has had a problem with the use of Kakadi lately. Well, just a question. "Bosko is proud.

Galliani was really surprised this time, this vampire didn't come to him to ask for a raise.

Ancelotti frowned, and he began to have a bad premonition. Carlo Ancelotti knows Boscolette as a man because of Kaka's growing importance at AC Milan. As well as AC Milan's vision of Kaka as a flag for the future, Boskolet knows Milan can't do without Kaka. Therefore, it has the meaning of 'pampered and proud'.

"Problems with the use of Kaka?" Galliani groaned, glanced at Ancelotti, and said to Boscolet, "What exactly?" Bar Bosco, my old friend. ”

"I have a question for Mr. Ancelotti. Now is the team the attacking core, is it Kaka or that youngster? "Boscolet.

"Kaka brought this up?" Ancelotti frowned slightly, and asked with anger.

"No, no, no." Boskolet shook his head, "My son doesn't ask such questions, he's a professional footballer, he loves this team and he will strictly follow the manager's tactical intentions, it's just a question I raised." I think Kaka deserves to play a bigger role in the game, as he did in the ring. ”

"And what do you mean?" Ancelotti asked rhetorically.

'I hope Kaka can take on more tasks, he's at the heart of this team and he's capable of continuing to lead the team forward.' Boscolet Road.

'But, in fact, Kaka has always been the heart of the team and that has never changed. Ancelotti said.

While the two were communicating, Galliani had been speechless. He was drinking coffee next to him and listening slowly.

He had thought that Boskolet had come to the club to ask for another salary increase for Kaka, but Galliani was already thinking about how to answer.

AC Milan's fiscal deficit is strict, Berlusconi has instructed Galliani to control salary expenditure, Galliani has just made up his mind to reject Bosco, but he didn't expect Boscolet to come with no intention of raising salary. In this case, Galliani is not in a hurry for the time being.

Boskolet unceremoniously interrupted Ancelotti's words, he chattered a lot, and there was only one meaning, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Kaka's declining goals since the beginning of the season, and Kaka's role in many games completely serving Jonker, in a word, that is, Boskolet hopes that in AC Milan, Kaka should have the most important offensive position like last season, that is, the whole team should still revolve around Kaka as the core, even if Jonker's position in the attack has to be behind Kaka.

Carlo Ancelotti is on fire and no manager will allow anyone to dictate him. Of course, Ancelotti has a good temper, and Berlusconi often gives orders on the sidelines, but, Ancelotti is the owner of the club, Ancelotti can only listen, this is no way to do it, but who are you, Boscolet, just the father of the player, not the father of Lao Tzu, why should I listen to you? No, even my father can't be dictators at work.

If it weren't for Galliani signaling Ancelotti to calm down with his eyes on the side, Ancelotti would have been angry.

Ancelotti could only endure the unhappiness and had to pretend to be listening very seriously. made a gesture: "Well, is there anything else besides this?" Go on. ”

Sending away Boscolet, Ancelotti was furious. "This person is really getting more and more excessive, how can a player like Kaka have such a father, he will be ruined by his own father sooner or later."

Galliani glanced at Ancelotti, "What do you think." ”

"How to use people is my job, I don't want to be disturbed by the outside world, and this person is not qualified to affect my work." Ancelotti was angry. He's still angry with Boscolet.

"You're wrong, Carllo." Galliani," he came today with these words. Although this is exactly what he wants to express, his purpose is the same as before. Galliani's expression was not good, just now Galliani suddenly understood. Perhaps Boskolet is indeed pressuring the club to continue to ensure that his son Kaka is the team's worthy flag. In addition, there is an implicit meaning, that is, it is still a raise! It means that if the salary meets his requirements, everything else is fine.

"Kaka's salary is already the highest in Serie A." Ancelotti said angrily, glancing at Galliani, "Also, I have a gut feeling that Mendes might talk to the club about Jork's salary increase. ”

Galliani touched his shiny bald head. Acquiesced to Ancelotti's words, in fact. He also guessed that Mendes would find the club to propose a salary increase for Jonker, Jonker's performance is really good, with a salary of 4.5 million euros, which is also in the upper middle of the AC Milan team, although it cannot be compared with Kaka, but it is also second only to Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso, these meritorious veterans. However, Jonker's performance is really good, and it makes sense to ask for a raise, after all, Kaka's annual salary of nine million euros after tax is the benchmark there.

Of course, to Galliani's slight satisfaction, Mendes didn't bother him at this time, and it is clear that Mr. 'Super Agent' also knows that this is the final stage of the championship and that this is not the time to talk about these things, and there is plenty of time to talk about them after the season.

However, today's visit to Boskolite, what he said, to further establish Kaka's core position in the AC Milan team, and the implication of that Galliani has to report to Berlusconi, in AC Milan club, anything about Kaka, is the top priority, and Be's is really fond of Kaka.

At this time, on the training ground in Milanello, the players also finished training and were walking towards the dressing room.

The team's masseur, Alexandro Trabatoni, passed by, and he saw that Jonk was laughing with his companions, which was a little strange.

He stopped and called Jonker's name, "Jonk? ”

"Huh? Alessandro, is there something wrong? Jonk asked, confused.

"Looks like you really don't know." Mr. Masseur was relieved, "Jonk, you didn't watch the news?" ”

Jonk looked at Alessandro strangely and motioned for him to come and listen.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, the British media are saying that Chelsea are going to activate the buy-back clause and bring you back next season!"

Back to Chelsea? Mendes didn't say it, but Jonk himself didn't resist returning to Chelsea, and the two years there were good, especially the old brother Abuna, who was quite reliable!

"Hehe, I don't even know about things, how do the media know!" Jonk thought about it, but didn't answer directly, waved goodbye and walked out.

Jonker himself had already expected that as soon as the news came out, the Italian media would definitely not remain indifferent, who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at the gate of the base, he was surrounded by more than a dozen Italian reporters.

These reporters are really not afraid of death, in order to be able to make Jonk stop for an interview, they stood motionless at the front of Jonke's car, and I don't know if the reporter drew a life and death lottery beforehand, how Jonk honked the horn, just didn't move, there was no way, he could only deal with the reporter's interview.

"Jonk, at such a critical moment, but there are transfer rumors, will it have an impact on the Champions League final?"

Not to mention, the reporter's association ability is really rich, so the Champions League final is so popular, everything can be relied upon.

"Nope! First of all, I want to say that you don't ask me about the transfer, I just found out! ”

"Can you make a comment? Chelsea's invitation, are you interested! ”

"No comment"

When he wasn't prepared, Jonker didn't want to say much at all. The reporter couldn't help it, the players didn't cooperate, and they didn't want to say it. They asked what was in vain, and they circled for 10 minutes, taking no less photos, and then let Jork leave.

In the 35th round, AC Milan hosted the San Siro against Fiorentina, and to Jonker's surprise, his name was not in the starting line-up. The starting striker was Ronaldo, who was on the bench.

Jonk was surprised, and the media was surprised. Ancelotti was calm.

Because of what, Ancelotti did not announce it to the outside world, but the media speculated that the reasons were nothing more than that. for the Champions League final. Dodge transfer rumors!

As a result, AC Milan drew 0-0 at home to Fiorentina, a lackluster game to watch, but the old Favalli's excellent performance surprised everyone, under the conditioning of Milan's real room, Favalli seems to have found a "second sporting youth", after Ancelotti decided to use the rotation system, Favalli has not disappointed him. Not only have they scored two goals before, but they are getting better and better.

Favali during the Inter Milan era was solid defensively. Known for being decent and rarely involved in the attack, which is related to the manager's tactical requirements, Mancini used a 4-4-2 formation in a parallel position, which does not require fullbacks to be too involved in the attack, while AC Milan does not have full-backs, and the two full-backs need to be heavily pressed to support the attack, which is very demanding for the full-backs to run.

Today, Favalik has changed dramatically. Take this game as an example, after the game, everyone questioned the head of the awarded Kaka, which was from Favali's wonderful pass, in fact, the ball given to Favali by his teammates was a bit big, but Fava used a beautiful sliding tackle action, and at the same opportunity, he did not shovel the opposing player, and left the ball at his feet, and then he stood up and passed a beautiful curling ball, but unfortunately Kaka's goal was ruled out, Galliani said: "I still don't understand what is wrong with this goal." ”

The 35-year-old Favali is physically remarkable, and Serginho's brilliant pass to Ronaldo in the 19th minute was a chance created by Favali's through pass, and before the pass, Favali ran more than 30 metres from the back to meet Kaka's diverted pass.

In the second half of the one-on-one conversation with "Fast Horse" Reginaldo, the old Favali, who was not superior in speed, used his experience to force the opponent to foul with an excellent card position; An even more exciting one was in the 31st minute, AC Milan failed to make an offside, Mutu formed a single knife in the face of Dida, just as he got up to shoot, Favali caught up with the volley from behind and stabbed the ball out of the bottom line, no foul!

The San Siro audience burst into applause for the elder Favali, and it was only at this moment that Favali realized that he was truly accepted.

Favali's "second youth" is actually not surprising, in addition to the Milan real room, he himself is the biggest secret, Favali is one of the most low-key in the AC Milan team, except for the press conference of the franchise, he has hardly been interviewed by the media, and few media have noticed him, in such an environment, Favali is dedicated to training, he is one of the players who have been trained the most by Milanello, and today's state is not surprising. With Jankulovski as the main player, Favali as the backing, and Kaladze and Bonella can also play at left-back, AC Milan can completely forget about Abigale.

Others found the second spring, but Jonk was very depressed, the game had nothing to do with him, the transfer rumors were intensifying, Chelsea did not count, Real Madrid was going to start coaxing, and when the Champions League final was about to start, transfer rumors were flying all over the sky, which also affected the mood somewhat.

However, Jonk didn't wait a few days before the opportunity to play came, and this time Kaka was rested and Jonk appeared full of blood.

In the 36th round, the opponent is Catania!

Jonk scored Milan's only goal of the game, which also led to a 1-1 draw away to Catania.

AC Milan drew twice in a row in the league, and Italian media have said that this is Ancelotti preparing for the Champions League final. (To be continued......)
