"Mr. Baldini expressed his apology to you. He should not have thought that his work was inadequate. Your work is the greatest help to our team."
The next day, after arriving at the team, Barardi brought Baldini's words. Baldini obviously felt a little embarrassed and did not come to the youth team again. This also made Li Bin sneer a few times.
Ignore him.
Last night, he suddenly said that he thought Baldini might be dismissed midway through the get out of class, but no one believed it. However, Li Bin still thought it was possible. The team was not rich to begin with, and they sold one of their teammates The defense was barely able to hold on, and people in the team resigned one after another. Originally, the team was on the verge of collapse, but now, the new coach is interested in
He is not a person who knows how to unite a team. It is very dangerous no matter how you look at it. Not to mention, next season, Parma will still have to fight on three fronts. In addition to the league and cup, there is also the Europa League to play.
At the same time, the 2004-05 Serie A season was restructured to 38 rounds. Just after the change, the schedule will be very tight. It is difficult to say that the new coach can sustain it.
However, Li Bin also knows that it is too early to talk about these things. Let's take a look, by the middle of the season, maybe it will really be his opportunity.
"I don't blame him for anything. In fact, I have handed over the youth training work to Esposito. I am now fully responsible for the things here. There is no need to worry about my lack of energy."
Barardi was not surprised at all that Li Bin made arrangements so quickly - Li Bin always acted vigorously and resolutely, and he knew this very well. Now that everyone has maintained a superficial harmony, then all this is also
That's enough.
After taking care of this matter, the new coach Baldini also handed over his transfer target to Li Bin.
The transfer model in Serie A is different from that in the Premier League. No one person has everything. The same is true in Parma. The coach is only responsible for coaching, while the manager is responsible for negotiations and finance. The scout director is responsible for providing the transfer list. It has always been a division of labor.
clear.
"The main players that Coach Baldini wants are defenders and midfielders. Ferrari, Moretti, Blasi, Barone, and Castellini are all players we lost this summer.
.We have no choice but to repurchase the loaned Blasi from Juventus, and Castellini and Moretti are really comfortable.
If you can't join us, you can leave. But with Ferrari and Barone gone, our defense will be in trouble after all. Ferrari is the captain and the absolute main central defender. Once he leaves like this, we must
We have to buy a defender. And with Blasi and Barone gone, we also have to add a defensive midfielder."
Li Bin could hear Barardi's regret - even if the manager only focuses on money, who wouldn't regret seeing the loss of so many good players?
Li Bin felt the same regret, because there was nothing he could do. The team was heavily in debt and extremely poor. How could it survive without selling people?
Logically speaking, last season's Parma had Frei as goalkeeper, Ferrari, Cannavaro Jr., Bonera, Moretti and others in the defense, and Brasi and Barone in the midfield.
, the two wingers are Bresciano and Marchionne,
The forwards are Adriano and Gilardino. With such a lineup, in addition to being unable to beat the top three in the north in Serie A, they can beat anyone they meet. Considering their age, it will not be a problem to fight for another five years. However,
, that premise is not to sell people.
But with Parma's finances, it is impossible not to sell people. And Adriano has already sold, and then sold four of the defense. This is an unimaginable big sale. Although it has already gone through the fire sale that year.
Thuram and Buffon were desolate, but seeing such a sale, Li Bin still felt quite uncomfortable.
Especially after seeing the funds provided by Barardi, he also raised his head.
"But the transfer fee you provided me doesn't look like buying a main defender or defensive midfielder, but like the salary of the main defender." Li Bin was a little dissatisfied, "1 million? Are we that poor?"
"The team is under administration. Our biggest task now is to try our best to save every expense and pay off the debt. Otherwise, the team will be declared bankrupt - we cannot be the second Fiorentina. Just save what you can."
, and, after all, we are now insolvent, and continuing to operate is the only reason why we have not been declared bankrupt, so we have to save some money."
Barardi did not explain where the money went: the two of them had a tacit understanding. Li Bin did not care about financial matters, and Barardi did not ask much about the transfer. Although the two were at odds, they were also right.
They are familiar enough with each other. At this time, they know that the other party will not pursue selfish interests.
Li Bin was quite helpless about this, "I don't care about it myself, but, Luca, you should understand that we can't achieve good results by saving money like this."
"The bonus for the Serie A champion is only 7 million, and the broadcast rights of Serie A do not follow the results. Why do we care about so many results? It is enough to be able to avoid relegation, have broadcast fees to spend, and keep the team from being relegated.
Don't think about it. When there is a new boss and he wants to compete for the championship, that is his business."
Barardi's words are indeed true. The Serie A championship bonus is not much, and broadcasting has always been controlled by the three northern powers. Berlusconi is the largest media tycoon in Italy. How can he divide the money according to performance? From Barra
From Erdi's point of view, there is really no need to spend money for good results.
In this regard, Li Bin could only sigh. Is this also the biggest reason for the decline of Serie A?
"As you wish. In fact, we don't need to be so prudent. As for the central defender, if we are willing to spend a little money, we can get good players. Barzagli is for sale, for three million, we will
You can buy them..."
"Isn't three million money?"
"They could become tens of millions in the future."
"But when it becomes tens of millions, it's neither yours nor mine - why do you care about the future? Now it's the best thing for us to do to keep the team from going bankrupt."
What a manager who has no pursuit - but Li Bin also knows that, indeed, if the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, if they don't leave now, they will have done their best. Who will care about more future interests?
In the final analysis, everyone is just a wage earner. It would be a good thing if they didn't leave when the disaster came, but who is thinking about long-term development?
"Okay then, I'll go to Bologna and discuss loaning Gamberini. Then, I want to try to go to Juventus to rent Chiellini. If we are willing to promise to give him enough games, Juventus will
He should be happy to loan him to us instead of sharing ownership with Fiorentina - he has great potential, we will train him for free to Juventus, and Juventus will not object. Moreover, I think he has the ability of a central defender and can give him a try.
As for the left back and defensive midfielder
...Verona's Dossena and Turin's Balzaretti are both in Serie B, but they are both good players who can adapt to Serie A. Let's see who is willing to transfer. As for the defensive midfielder, Simplici
Ao doesn't have a contract now, can you?
We can try to waive the visa requirement, but pay attention to the nationality issue. If you can save the non-European quota, you can save it." Li Bin thought for a while, "We also need to add people in the frontcourt. I will try to go to Inter Milan to rent their listed Morfeo.
,However, I can’t guarantee success.”
Since you have little money and you still want to make good use of players, then don’t think about buying them and think about renting them. Speaking of which, this kind of loan contract that promises the number of games is only used by satellite teams, but now I
, but there is no good choice. Fortunately, Li Bin used to be Prandelli's assistant coach, and Prandelli was a teammate of Juventus Vice Chairman Bennett.
After the fall of Madrid, Moggi has been using this reason to win over Parma. It is estimated that Moggi will not object to loaning players to Juventus and lowering his stature. With the potential shown by Chiellini, coupled with Li
Bin has been famous in the youth training for ten years. He is confident to persuade Moggi to confirm Chiellini's worth and not consider selling half of the ownership, but purely renting.
Parma doesn't have enough money to buy a striker, so they should look at where they can rent a striker as a substitute. But if Morfeo can be loaned out, then next season, the frontcourt will be Gilardino as a lone striker, Morfeo, and Brescia.
No, Marchionne's three attacking midfielders, followed by Simplicio and Guerrera, are pretty good. Morfeo's technical characteristics are relatively straightforward.
Riquelme is a very good player and even wore the No. 10 jersey of Inter Milan for a time. Bresciano is known as the Australian cannon and has a long-range shot. In addition, Marchionne is known as the Italian Beckham.
The lineup, coupled with the Serie A silver boot Gilardino from last season, and Rossi from the youth team, is also quite good.
And the backcourt...
Li Bin twitched. Cannavaro Jr. and Bonera played as defenders. This is really unreliable.
"We really don't want to buy defenders anymore?"
"I won't buy it." Barardi made the decision, "Don't worry about Simplicio. Do you need to talk about this? I know better than you."
Transfers in Serie A are different from those in other countries. They have set a non-European quota for one per year. Therefore, when introducing a player in Italy, it is very important to see whether the other player has an EU passport.
.
Many agents have this ability: they can help players apply for EU passports, so that the team can cancel a non-European quota. Especially for players from South American countries such as Brazil and Argentina. Players from these countries can apply for
Italian nationality, Spanish nationality, and Portuguese nationality are all very easy. Whether you can apply for it may only depend on whether you have a detailed relationship with the eighteenth generation of the player's ancestors. Or the player's agent is not capable enough. Regarding this issue,
It's better to pay attention than not to pay attention.
Making more preparations is Li Bin's usual style of doing things. At this time, he also thought the same way.
"Who would have thought that we were once one of the seven sisters in Serie A, but now everything we see is rental and visa-free..." Li Bin looked at the plans in front of him and smiled bitterly.
"The team is poor, what else can we do?" Barardi sighed, and the two looked at each other speechless. With such a poor team, the two of them had no intention of fighting.
Barardi knew that Li Bin wanted to leave, and Li Bin also knew that Barardi was hostile to him, but at this time, facing such a dilapidated situation, what was there to argue about?
"Oh, yes, there is one more thing. I think I have to ask you." Barardi got the list and walked to the door, turning back, "There are reporters who want to interview you."
"I won't slander that person. The summer signings totaling 1 million yuan are visa-free and on loan. What should I tell the reporter? Besides, Nadia has arranged an appointment for me, and I have to go to the appointment."
"No, no, they are interviewing not the transfer, but you." Barardi said, "Actually, it's a Chinese reporter. You are one of the rare Chinese people who has made a name for himself in Italy. There are also some
I want to interview you."
This statement surprised Li Bin. After a while, he nodded, "Then, let him come over. I also want to meet our domestic reporters."
