Prominence in Football Community

When Aliedo Braida listened to Galliani in Galliani's office after what Galli had said to him just now, Braida's face became very serious.

"What do you think?" Galliani asked.

"I think Barbara may be looking for a breakthrough." Braida said.

Galliani did not react to the claim.

Braida continued: "Actually, so far, there is no need to worry too much. After all, it is a matter of the second division. It is too far away from us. Even the media may not be too interested. But if San Pudoria successfully promoted to the first division, I think Barbara has something to do, such as when Sampdoria played against us... Although neither of us is very good at signing and releasing youth team players I understand, but under the influence of the media, the vast majority of people don't care about it. But if we wait for things to ferment before trying to solve them, we will always be passive, so I think the best countermeasure now is to act first .”

"How to strike first?" Galliani asked.

"I can already think of the words that Barbara may use to attack us. It is nothing more than that under our leadership, the club let go of a talented genius who should have become our new favorite, but because of the Milan experiment. The decision of the chamber has become our enemy. Then we can buy this talent back now? At the end of this season, we reached an agreement with the Sampdoria club to bring him back to San Siro, and the threat was lifted. Now, the fans will thank you in return for another wonderful operation in the transfer market."

After listening to Braida's suggestion, Galliani pondered for a while, and then asked: "But how do you guarantee that the player is willing to return to AC Milan? You must know that the reason why he left the team originated from our laboratory. judge……"

"I still believe in the feelings of a Milan child for his family. I think as long as the club can express a certain amount of apology, he will let go of his knots. Besides, even a player who has never played in AC Milan before, he will not be disappointed. It's hard to turn down a call from AC Milan, isn't it?" Braida said with certainty, clearly confident in the charisma of his team.

Galliani nodded slightly, he felt that what Braida said was also reasonable.

In any case, AC Milan is much more attractive to a player than Sampdoria. Any player with a normal mind knows how to choose between the two.

"The last question, what if the lab is right? Will he really become a glass man who is constantly injured in the future?"

"It's not something we should be thinking about.

Adriano. "Braida said with a smile. "What we are discussing now is to solve the possible crisis of confidence, not how the players will perform in the future. If he doesn't believe that he has become a glass man, the club just needs to do it normally. Didn't we have any players injured before that? It is not our responsibility that he becomes a glass man. "

Galliani was persuaded by Braida.

If Gao Zheng is really talented, he performed well after coming to AC Milan, helped AC Milan to achieve good results, and became the darling of San Siro, it would naturally be a happy result for everyone, and it would be another successful example of Galliani's transfer actions.

But if unfortunately in the eyes of the Milan laboratory, Gao Zheng fell into endless injuries after coming to AC Milan, it has nothing to do with Galliani. He just gave the Milan children who are living outside a chance to go home. He can't be responsible for the injuries after they go home, right? Injury is really a matter of luck, and the player's injury can't be pinned on him anyway.

"Well, then we must hurry up and get in touch with each other. Otherwise, once our neighbors and Juventus also act, the situation will be complicated." Galliani said.

He hopes that neither the player nor Sampdoria has a choice, so that he can buy the wanderer at the lowest price.

After all, the current financial situation of the AC Milan club is not very good, and they must be diligent and thrifty to manage their families and live frugally.

"I'll do it right away." Braida understood Galliani's meaning. They have been working together as partners for many years, and there is still some tacit understanding.

The next day Braida gave Galliani a piece of feedback that made him happy: "According to my research, Gao doesn't seem to have an agent yet..."

"There is no agent?" Galliani asked in surprise.

Both he and Braida know that if the player does not have an agent, it will be much easier to deal with.

"Yes, there is no agent. He signed the contract with Sampdoria in person." Braida's voice on the phone was relaxed, as if completing the task was easy. "I will try to contact Sampdoria. I think it is much more difficult to deal with them than the male player. With the momentum that Gao is showing now, they may ask for a lot of money."

"That doesn't matter, we can use some young people from the reserve team to make up for their losses. And we can also install them in installments." Galliani, who was holding the phone, twirled his fingers, as if Braida was right in front of him. , you can see his hand gesture.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them." Braida hung up the phone very simply.

Galliani sat in his office, thought about the matter carefully, and determined that both his and Braida's judgments were correct. The only troublesome thing about this matter is to convince the Sampdoria club that because the player himself does not have an agent, it is easier to handle it.

But even if it is to convince the Sampdoria club, Galliani does not find it too difficult. In his career, he has encountered countless times more difficult situations than this one, and he finally resolved them satisfactorily.

For example, the Swedish god Ibrahimovic who is currently playing for AC Milan, when he transferred from Inter Milan to Barcelona, ​​he was worth 46 million euros, plus an Eto'o. He played in Barcelona for a year and his performance was not bad, but because of conflicts with the team's head coach Guardiola and the team's top player Messi, he switched to AC Milan.

At that time, Galliani went out in person and negotiated a loan deal for Ibrahimovic, who was worth 46 million plus an Eto'o. After playing for one year, AC Milan enjoyed the option to buy out with 24 million euros. The right of priority, and the 24 million euros are not paid in one lump sum, but in installments... Galliani is indeed very capable in business negotiations to allow Barcelona to accept such conditions.

This is just one example of Galliani's mastery in the transfer market.

So Galliani has enough confidence to facilitate this transfer.

If Sampdoria can be promoted to the First Division, then they must also hope to get a lot of new players who have just been promoted to enhance their strength. Then AC Milan is happy to help one of the former Seven Sisters in this regard.

As for whether the player himself would like to join AC Milan, Galliani didn't think about it at all.

Another day later, Braida called again, but gave Galliani an update on the situation that he didn't know was good or bad.

"You said Raiola was touching high?"

"Yes, the Genoa media has already reported this incident. A reporter photographed people from Migure appearing outside the Sampdoria training base..."

Galliani fell silent.

Migure is the agency company founded by Raiola, and their people appeared outside the Sampdoria training base, apparently for Gao Zheng.

Why is this fat man's nose as sensitive as a dog's? Galliani cursed in his heart.

Raiola is the most difficult agent in Italy, and he is also an agent that managers of major clubs do not like.

If he really becomes Gao Zheng's agent, then AC Milan's plan to get Gao Zheng at a very small price may be ruined.

But on the other hand, Raiola has had a lot of cooperation with AC Milan in recent years, and the two parties have a close relationship.

His Abate, Rodrigo Elie, Van Bommel, Emmanuel Sen, Robinho, Mattioni are all playing for or have played for AC Milan.

After AC Milan's finances were tight, the cooperation with Raiola also allowed AC Milan to get a lot of high-quality and cheap players. At the same time, because of Mino Raiola, some seemingly unmanageable transfers have finally become a reality.

For example, in the process of Zlatan Ibrahimovic renting and then buying to AC Milan, Raiola played a very important role. Van Bommel terminated his contract with Bayern Munich half a year early in January 2011, and then transferred to AC Milan as a free agent. Raiola's role cannot be ignored. Also as a Raiola player, Emmanuel Sen's transfer to AC Milan went smoothly.

So Galliani even asked the player to change his agent to facilitate his better management. For example, he asked Pato to replace his agent Bellos with Raiola.

But it was rejected by Pato...

If Raiola really becomes Gao Zheng's agent, does it mean that Gao Zheng's transfer to AC Milan will be easier to operate?

"Do I still have to contact the Sampdoria club now?" Braida waited for Galliani's instructions on the phone.

"Wait first, wait for Raiola's result." Galliani said.

If Raiola really becomes Gao Zheng's agent, then the priority of contacting the Sampdoria club will be lowered, and priority will be given to talking to Raiola instead.
