Chapter 003 Half-acquisition and half-cooperation joins Atlanta and makes its debut

"Dolsa's actions are the most powerful! It seems that letting her temporarily take over my duties for a period of time in the future is indeed the right choice." Li Ruolan admired sincerely.

The person who provided the news that Atlanta Football Club owner Perkasie intends to sell part of the club's shares is also Doleza. After the initial accumulation, this little girl's work performance is now getting better and better, and she has become faintly aware.

Now that she has the ability to take charge of her own business, Li Ruolan plans to hand over more work to her.

Closer to home, according to the information that has been learned, Percassi, the current owner of Atlanta Club, is indeed a famous figure, and he is also nicknamed "Italian Li Ka-shing".

The Perkasie family behind Perkasie took over the team in 2010, which coincided with its relegation. Perkasie's operating methods were also very sophisticated, and he was full of affection for Atlanta.

Conte, who was able to lead the team to avoid relegation, later invited Colantuono to coach, and the team returned to Serie A in just one season.

Next, he not only vigorously promoted the youth training system, but also invested heavily in signings. After several years of accumulation, he finally ushered in a change after Gasperini took over as head coach last year. After successively introducing Ilic

Qi, Zapata and others later built an offensive style of play, changing the conventional defensive counterattack tactics of traditional Italian teams, which made the team have a great improvement in record this year. Currently ranked fifth in the league

Although they cannot catch up with the top three spots in the first group, they have a high chance of maintaining their current position, thus ensuring that they qualify for the Europa League next season.

From a comprehensive point of view, Perkasie's philosophy of running the club is aimed at building a future wealthy club, and has achieved initial results. If his family had not recently encountered a major setback in the business world, it would have owed

They have incurred a large amount of debt and are in urgent need of funds to fill this hole. They will not sell part of the group's shares.

Li Zhao and the others have undoubtedly taken advantage of this loophole. Although after completing this transaction, their shareholding is only 37%, and the Perkasie family is still the largest shareholder of the club, but it is enough.

What Li Ruolan wants is not absolute control of the club, and this may not be a good choice for them who are new here. If they really want that, there are indeed such teams in Serie A, but they are basically at the bottom of the league.

, with many internal problems, even with Li Zhao joining, there is no guarantee that the team will be able to escape the fate of being relegated. If it gets to that point, the gains will outweigh the losses. It is obviously not worth taking the risk.

This is different from when they first arrived in Brazil. Now they don't want to rebuild the team from top to bottom again. If it had been two months earlier, AC Milan might have been a better choice.

But at that time, they had no time to take care of it, so they were beaten by Li Yonghong. But it was not a pity. After all, AC Milan had a bigger market. Although Li Zhao and the others did have money, their expenses in all aspects were also not high.

It is small, and the risk involved in trying to eat it is also not small.

Now think about it, this half-acquisition and half-cooperation method of joining the team is very good. After all, the Perkasie family itself is very good at running the club, so they will not interfere too much in the specific operation.

After obtaining the rights and interests they want, it is actually more in their interests to let the other party with rich experience take the lead, and it is also a more comfortable way for both parties to cooperate.

It must be mentioned that Atlanta's home stadium, the Blue Italia Stadium, does not meet the requirements of UEFA competition venues, and the Percassi family has considered improving it many times. However, since the stadium is originally rented by the club, it seems that

It was not cost-effective, so I never made up my mind to do it. But at this time, it became an advantageous factor for Li Zhao and the others, and it was also the main reason why the Perkasie family was willing to cooperate with them, that is

The castle stadium that Li Zhao and the others had put great effort into building was soon completed.

Originally, they were thinking about how to make better use of the stadium after it was completed, and now it comes in handy. Its location is just in the Bergamo area, and it is only a ten-minute drive from the club's location.

It is self-evident how to choose.

"Ms. Li, happy cooperation!"

"Mr. Perkasie, happy to work with you!"

After the two parties formally signed the contract and shook hands, they also officially announced the successful acquisition of 37% of the shares of the Perkasie family company by Lanzhao Group. Although Li Zhao is one of the actual rights holders of this part of the shares,

When announcing to the outside world, he always uses Li Ruolan's name in front of him, also to avoid some right and wrong discussions in front of the public.

In addition to equity interests, since the club did not spend money to introduce Li Zhao, the club only has the right to use him but not the right to trade or fire him. In addition, his ownership rights belong to the Lanzhao Group, which also means that

The question of whether he will stay or go depends entirely on himself. If one day he wants to go elsewhere, the club really has nothing to do with him.

Even the right to use has certain restrictions. According to the provisions of the contract, Li Zhao still has the right to decide whether to play in a single game, but he still needs to report to the head coach before the start of the game. Of course, he will not

To abuse this kind of power, at most it will be used selectively for a period of time in the remaining games of this season.

After all, Atlanta's lineup and play style have taken shape this season, and even without him it is enough to achieve the goals set at the beginning of the season. After discussions with coach Gasperini, the tone was set for the remaining few days of this season.

Even if he plays in every game, he will appear as a substitute. This is also to allow him to gradually adapt to the team and feel the difference in Serie A without affecting the overall team, and also to improve his condition.

Able to maintain something.

Because of this, the subsequent joining ceremony held by the club for Li Zhao was particularly low-key. But as the saying goes, there is no airtight wall, the news of Li Zhao joining Atlanta Football Club spread like wildfire, and was passed on by some caring people.

It has almost appeared in major newspapers. Such a blockbuster news may not be enough to cause a big storm in Europe, but it still has a considerable impact in South America and Asia.

The vast majority of uninformed people naturally question Li Zhao's choice. It is difficult for them to understand why he left a good and wealthy team but chose to go to such a less powerful team, and the joining ceremony was still possible.

It was so sloppy that it was obviously not worthy of his level of strength. For this reason, coach Gasperini also found him again and asked if he should be adjusted to the starting position. But Li Zhao didn't care about this and indicated that all plans remained.

As usual.

After several days of waiting, it finally arrived on April 8. In the 31st round of Serie A, Atalanta’s home game against Sassuolo attracted far more attention than before, just because there were rumors that Li Zhao would play in today’s game.

Fans naturally knew that he would not start at the beginning, but they were curious about how many minutes he would play in the game. A few betting companies even offered handicaps for this.

With the high morale of the 5-0 victory over the opponent in the last away game, and the fact that the opponent today's home match is of average strength, and judging from the recent historical record, it is also a complete victory, so the entire Atlanta team is very excited.

I am confident that I can easily win this victory, and the fans at the scene are equally optimistic.

But judging from the situation on the field after the start of the game, it was not that simple. They obviously underestimated the tenacity of their opponents. Although Atlanta had the advantage on the field for a long time at the beginning of the game and launched many times towards the away team's goal.

There are threatening attacks, but they always succeed without scoring.

Such a long and sustained siege obviously could not last. Atalanta began to relax after the 20th minute of the game, and Sassuolo counterattacked at this time, which temporarily caught the home team by surprise. Instead,

He also received two consecutive yellow cards before the 30th minute of the game.

But they failed to stop the opponent's next counterattack. In the 36th minute of the game, the opponent's Lorenzo Pellegrini scored a goal, making the home team fall behind. Fortunately, Sassuolo

After that, I was unable to further expand the results, so that the results at work did not deteriorate further.

During the halftime break, many fans who made a special trip to watch Li Zhao's game began to get restless, hoping that the coach would substitute him for a try after the start of the second half, but Gasperini seemed to ignore them.

Shortly after the game started, there were two substitutions, but Li Zhao was not included in either of them.

Atlanta made another effort shortly after the start of the second half. They were eager to equalize the score at this time, but the overall situation was not much different from that at the beginning of the first half. Fortunately, this time it was not luck.

The difference finally came to fruition when the game entered the 70th minute, when Brian Christante scored an equalizing goal.

Atlanta, playing at home, was obviously not willing to end in a draw, so it further strengthened its attack. However, it was obviously not easy to break through the opponent's gate again in a short while. The game time was about to enter the 80th minute.

At the minute, coach Gasperini finally used the last substitution on Li Zhao.

Under the long-awaited gaze of everyone, Li Zhao made his debut in Serie A. Although there was not much game time left, Li Zhao originally didn't care about it and was able to play his due role in the limited time.

Value is what he is more concerned about.

Although there were bright spots after Li Zhao came on the field, it was difficult to achieve immediate results as he still lacked sufficient coordination with his teammates at this stage. The score on the field remained the same until injury time. Just when everyone thought

When a draw would be the final result for both teams, Atlanta got the best free kick opportunity after the opening.

Atlanta's number one kicker took the initiative and gave the opportunity to Li Zhao this time with a firm attitude. Li Zhao, who originally wanted to be polite, saw that he couldn't shirk away, so he followed suit.

Although he has not played a formal game for three months, except for the wedding day, Li Zhao has never missed practice, so his condition is still very good.

Li Zhao felt it the moment he ran towards the ball, and then used the classic three-body meteor to break through the opposite goal, completing his debut and first goal in Serie A or the European League.

Although this situation is not uncommon in the entire history of European leagues, there are very few people who can complete it in such a short playing time, and it has also set a record in Atlanta's team history. And the home team relied on his last moments.
Chapter completed!
