"You are an interesting person. If there is anything you need to do in England in the future, Manchester United may be able to do you a favor. You can come to me and I will be Martin Ferguson." Before leaving, Manchester United's scout said:
He gave Li Bin a business card. Although his mission failed, he still left in a good manner.
Martin Ferguson, Manchester United's chief scout, Ferguson's younger brother, Li Bin, of course knew him. He could see that Martin Ferguson's overtures of goodwill meant that although he expressed his gratitude, he did not pay much attention to it.
matter.
Now is not the time to go to England. I am in Italy and have a lot of things to do.
In his previous life, he could no longer believe that after his death, he would encounter such a thing as time travel. And he also could not believe that after experiencing chronic illness and dying in his previous life, and seeing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he came to the
Those lifelong ambitions, in
The idea of making a big difference in the business world cannot be mentioned at all in this life. Maybe someone else got the capital to start a business through time travel, but after he time traveled, he chose to put aside the business that he was obsessed with in the previous life and chose to devote himself to his passion.
career.
Fortunately, when he traveled to this world, he was a teenager and everything could start again. He chose the football industry that he loved deeply in his previous life but had no chance to work in it.
When he traveled through time, he was a bit old and in poor health, so he was not suitable to be a player. However, he devoted himself to coaching without hesitation. Facts have proved that he is talented in this industry. Ten years later, he has also
It can be said that he has achieved some success. Now, although he no longer has a fortune, he is obviously more happy with it.
Although the achievements in this life seem to be far less than those in the previous life, helping others and seeing that a promising young man has not gone astray is more profitable than anything else.
, things like becoming famous are obviously more satisfying.
Li Bin thought about it in his mind and walked home with a smile. He had other things to do today.
"Happy birthday, Lee."
Sure enough, when he returned to his home, his friends were already waiting for him. Today is his thirtieth birthday, how could they not be here?
"You don't seem to be surprised enough. Why, did you get the news in advance?" Borg was standing at the forefront of the crowd. He immediately saw that Li Bin's expression was obviously different from what he imagined.
Li Bin patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "You have been planning for more than half a month, and the people who came here are all from the club, and you are looking for a series of connections under my nose. How could I not know? I am
As the director of the youth training base, how could you hide such a thing from me?"
"I've told you before that it's impossible to succeed." Behind Borg, a short man muttered.
"Shut up, Lorenzo, it's just your mouth that's loose."
Voices came from the crowd immediately.
"Well, anyway, I'm very grateful to you all for coming over to celebrate my birthday." Li Bin interrupted their argument and picked up the wine glass next to him, "I'm very happy to see so many people coming over. Everyone.
As you all know, I am alone in Italy, I don’t have many relatives, I am usually very busy at work, and I don’t have many friends, but I am very happy that the entire club regards me as a family member. You can give me a gift on my birthday.
I celebrate my birthday, which makes me very touched. May our friendship last forever, cheers!"
"cheers!"
People also raised their wine glasses, and at this time, Li Bin also looked around at the people coming inside.
There are actually not many people at home. Of course, the team's physical coach Berg and his wife Nadia, goalkeeper coach Piazza, and his assistant Esposito, these people will definitely
They came - they are all Li Bin's best friends, it is impossible for them not to come. But the other people...
The lawn care workers, the team's masseurs, the laundry workers, and the locker room administrators all came, as did the team's players and a few familiar friends, but the rest of the team's
Among the scouts and coaches, few came.
When a tree falls, the monkeys disperse... The team is now under trusteeship, and the people in the team naturally make their own living. At this time, it is obvious whether the friendship is strong or not.
"Li, people from the city government have already arrived today." After watching Li Bin greet the guests, Borg quietly spoke in a deserted place, "I'm afraid it is imperative to take over the team trusteeship."
"Didn't you already know this already?" Li Bin nodded and greeted the colleagues around him, but still whispered to Borg, "What's the result of the inventory? It won't be immediately investigated and auctioned, right?"
"The team's debt is not much, only 77 million euros, and the market value of our team is 60 million, so it won't go bankrupt immediately," Borg said in a low voice, "We haven't reached the stage of Florence yet."
"So what if we haven't arrived? The prosperous age of the seven Serie A sisters has passed after all."
Li Bin's words made Berg sigh.
In the 1990s, Serie A was at its peak, with seven teams all making a difference in Europe, known as the Seven Sisters of Serie A. However, over the years, the Seven Sisters of Serie A have gradually declined. Two years ago, Fiorentina boss Gauci was
Declared bankrupt, Fiorentina went bankrupt and was relegated to the C2 league, which opened the prelude to the successive collapse of the seven sisters in Serie A. The top three teams in the north have deep pockets and remain unmoved, but the other four teams are all unsustainable.
The Sensi family is behind Roma. Although they are very good at selling off players, they can still support themselves. However, Lazio is already insolvent. With the withdrawal of former owner Cragnotti, they have to sell players to stay afloat.
Now, it's Parma's turn. And their blow came hard, because the blow was not against their team, but against the backend company behind them, Parma, the parent company of the Parma team.
Went with Marat Group.
The Parmalat Group was accused of having problems with its accounts. The company's owner, Tanzi, who is also Parma's chairman, was arrested for economic cases. The Parmalat Building will collapse. Parma, as one of its subsidiaries, was also placed under trusteeship by the city government.
.
"Now they are still focusing all their energy on Parmalat, and no one cares about us. A few days ago, Fausto Tunner, the financial director of the Parmalat Group, and the company's lawyer Cini
He was also arrested. He is the eleventh one to be arrested. He might as well commit suicide like Alessandro Brazil..." Borg whispered,
"Two days ago, the bank in New York said that our company's 3.9 billion in liquidity with them does not exist. Now, the liability has reached 14.3 billion. The prosecutor in Milan said that the estimated total liability may be
It will reach 16 billion. 16 billion. Compared with them, what is the club’s arrears of 77 million?”
Li Bin didn't say anything more. He just picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. "Mind your own business. As long as our debt of 77 million yuan remains unchanged. Our team's profit, even if it can't be paid into the accounts, will be repaid."
Some interest is enough."
"I don't know if it will work. Mr. Barardi said it can be maintained, but no matter whether it works or not, I'm afraid there will be no big-name signings in the future. Moreover, there are some impetuous people in the team, and everyone who should leave has left.
, now that Bonera and Gilardino have been very close to Milan recently, there may be problems... What is your expression like that?"
"It's nothing, I just want to laugh when I think of Bonera wearing Milanese clothes... Don't worry too much, Tanzi is unlucky because it was Berlusconi who caused it. The more the upper-level people make trouble, the more calm they become.
It's too late for Milan to avoid suspicion and it's impossible to poach our people."
When Parmalat fell, it was rumored that the person behind it was Berlusconi - who made Tanzi foolishly invest in the television industry and wanted to share the profits, but encountered the foundation of Berlusconi's money-making
, how could Berlusconi spare him? Berlusconi is the president of Italy now after all... Parmalat was naturally finished because of this.
"That's what I said, but then again, the Parmalat Group has collapsed, and Parma will definitely not be able to survive for long. Li, you have also seen that there are so many fewer people here today. None of us are fools.
Everyone can clearly see what the future will be like. Before Parma received investment from the Parmalat Group, it was not even a company.
We are not even a top-level team. There is no way out if we stay here. Do we really have to wait another year?" Borg whispered to him, "Hang yourself on a tree. It is not a clear choice, especially...
You also have your rich resources. The most valuable thing about this team is its football school network and scouting network. And these things are
It was built with your efforts. If you leave here and go elsewhere, you can take these rich connections and networks with you. It is not difficult to change the partners of those teams that are friendly to you.
These schools are your capital. The network of 65,000 trainees is your capital. You should take advantage of it.
Make good use of them. Although I feel uncomfortable saying this, I also hope to stay in Parma - but Parma is really over. We have to think about what we will do in the future. We can't be buried with the team, right? You go
No matter where you go, you can get the position of youth training director or scouting director, there is no need to stay here."
"You're talking like this because someone has contacted you and wants to poach us?"
"The top three in the north all have this intention, and you don't know it," Borg said. "Milan has promised to invest in youth training for you, but I don't believe Galliani's words. And Juventus is willing to let you go."
You are the transfer manager. Obviously, Moggi has also realized that it is time for Juventus to change its team. However, the most credible one is Inter Milan.
After all, in terms of character, they are more trustworthy than those two companies, and they are indeed more willing to invest in youth training. Li, you know that this scouting network needs investment to support it. If Parma reduces its investment
, this network will gradually die. Now that Parma is finished, we need new nutrients to support it, and the three northern powers are the best choice."
"Hertz, you made something wrong. Even if this road dies, it's not a problem. Which schools around the world have cooperated with us, and which coaches in which schools have been trained by us? Do you think I
Don’t you know? What is the football level of each country and each region, how is the training situation, how to operate signings, these things, I bet, I know better than anyone else. I don’t need those networks for myself at all
It has been six years since I increased my net worth. The connections I have established in these six years
, and the accumulated experience in handling affairs in the football world are my most valuable assets. I can easily set up the logistics system wherever I go, I have no doubt about this." Li Bin replied.
, "However, the reason why I don't want to leave is for other reasons - I am a coach, and I prefer to be a coach, rather than a scouting director or youth training director. I have been in management enough, and I
Now, I want to be a head coach - this is also my 30th birthday wish."
