Chapter 28 The Star in Prison (Part 2)

Name: Andre Carnevale

Date of birth: January 12, 1961

Height: 1.84 meters

Occupation: Inmate in custody, former Rome Club player

Reason for jail: private drug storage

...

Carnevale, 33, is the first recommended player that Zhuang Mingge has confirmed after returning from Qatar.

Zhuang Mingge never doubted Carnevale's personal abilities. The only thing he was worried about was whether Carnevale's physical function would decline too quickly after nearly two years of prison life.

However, through the introduction of the warden, it seems that this concern can be eliminated. If you have the opportunity to appear in the prison system's amateur league, I believe that the basic state can still be maintained. In Italy, a football country, amateur leagues of this nature, all aspects of the organization and arrangement are still very formal.

In Zhuang Mingge's limited "memory", after Carnevale was released from prison, he played for several seasons for some small balls for a short time. It was not until he received an invitation from his boss Udinese to serve as a full-time scout for Udinese that he announced his boots. In this way, Carnevale's ability to maintain a certain state after being released from prison has a very close relationship with his "training" in the Italian Prison League.

Although Zhuang Mingge is not very clear about the prison league, he still remembers that Carnevalais can still participate in the Italian professional league after being released from prison. This is also an important reason why when Prince Althani asked Zhuang Mingge to "help" him, he remembered the former Italian international.

Of course, there is another reason that gives Zhuang Mingge an opportunity, that is, he remembers such a "past" about Carnevale: After being released from prison, Carnevale found the clubs in Rome and Naples where he once worked, and asked the club to give him a job, but was ruthlessly rejected by the management of the two clubs.

The reason why the Rome Club refused was: Carnevale was emotionally excited at the 1990 World Cup, and in front of all the fans and TV viewers around the world, he gave the national team coach a classic "Fuck you up" in front of all the fans and TV viewers around the world. Rome believed that Carnevale's approach lost the face of the Italians and the face of the Rome Club. However, for the statement of the Rome Club, an Italian media pointed out that Rome's reason was completely untenable, because during that World Cup, a Roman senior executive publicly stood up to support Carnevale's approach. The Roman senior executive believed that it was precisely because the "Milan" Italian head coach Viccini was conservative in tactics and nepotism that Carnevale, who likes to speak out in a straightforward manner, was "feeling touched" in his personality.

As for Naples, its reason for rejecting Carnevale is even more funny. They arbitrarily believe that Carnevale, who has a history of "hiding drugs", is one of the culprits of the King of Football Maradona's addiction to drug addiction. This highly imaginative reason was once a joke at that time.

Since Carnevale's two old "joints" don't want him, then Zhuang Mingge, who was originally an outsider on this issue, has the opportunity to actively intervene. Although Carnevale, who has been in prison for two years, is definitely far inferior to before, as long as his basic ability as a powerful center, he should be able to find his place in the "amateur" league in Qatar, with his fame, not to mention that he is a "free" player who does not need to pay any transfer fee, and the Qataris will definitely like it.

During this period of time in Qatar, Carnevale, who was in a "transformation period", could get enough jobs to support his family. At the same time, Carnevale would be grateful to Zhuang Mingge who introduced him to this job and Florence he represented. After all, in Zhuang Mingge's plan, such a big trouble was not just to recommend Carnevale to play in the Qatar League, and to earn a "introduction fee" from it. Carnevale's value is not limited to this.

In Zhuang Mingge's memory, Carnevale, who later worked as a scout and manager in Udinese, achieved very good results. He broke away from drug dealers and burst out with amazing energy again. It can be said that when Udinese suddenly rose in Italian football in the late 1990s, Carnevale, who has a strong personality, can definitely be regarded as a great contributor.

In Zhuang Mingge's opinion, it would be a pity to miss such a rare "renewable" player. If he is trained in the future, he will be a person who can stand alone. More importantly, in Zhuang Mingge's impression, the north-south division of Italian football is very serious. For example, in many cases, a talented player appears in the south. Even if the team in the north wants to introduce it, it will be difficult due to the obstruction of the club where the players are located. Carnevale is a star player who grew up in southern Italy. If Fiorentina can recruit him in the future, it will achieve certain positive results in this regard. Even if Carnevale has the ability, in Zhuang Mingge's opinion, he can become one of the capable players in Florence to explore the Italian southern market.

So Zhuang Mingge moved it with reason, and Kalin knew it with emotion, but these words were very effective in front of the warden who always insisted on "principles". Zhuang Mingge had no choice but to expose the disguise of "just visiting Carnevale", and expressed his true purpose of this trip:

"Mr. Warden, I think, if it was because of your reasons that Carnevalai lost his job opportunity after he was released from prison, I think you might become the sinner of the entire Second Prison."

The warden is not a vegetarian. From the beginning, he vaguely doubted Zhuang Mingge's real motivation for visiting Carnevale. Now he has finally forced the other party to express his true intentions. The warden is not a little proud.

"Are you saying Andre (Carnevale) has hope of joining Florence?"

After Zhuang Mingge saw that he had expressed his true intention, the warden finally expressed something. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He took the initiative again and replied with a smile:

"Haha, Warden, you will not forget that it is February now, and the door to the winter transfer has been closed long ago... I came to visit Andre this time, mainly to invite him to play in the Qatar League. The Qatar Football Association believes that Andre has the strength to shine in their league... Don't look at me so weirdly. The Qatar people give a very generous salary. As far as I know, the 42-year-old Uncle Mira has received a contract with an annual salary of US$1 million... Mr. Warden, do you think Andre, who urgently needs money to support his family, needs this job?"

"So that's the case. It's great. Thank you very much for bringing this good news to Andre."

"But I'm a little weird, why don't you want Andre to return to Rome?"

The warden disagreed with Zhuang Mingge's questions:

"Rome? What did Andre do there? The Roman clubs are all ungrateful guys who burn bridges across the river."

Zhuang Mingge looked at the warden who suddenly became indignant:

"You are not a Lazio fan?"

Regarding Zhuang Mingge's questions, the warden cooperated to take off his uniform, which was covered with a sky-blue Lazio jersey.

Zhuang Mingge was embarrassed, he was very glad that he had not arranged Lazio's fault just now.

Then Zhuang Mingge and Karin followed the warden with the Lazio label to the place where Carnevale was recuperated... PS: Please click, please collect, please recommend votes... Let's not be anal!!!
