Super Coach

Carrara, a small city near Massa.

When Yang Cheng, accompanied by Di Palma, drove into the city, he really had a very familiar feeling.

There are several houses that are made of square stones in sight, neat and orderly, and they are very similar to Yang Cheng's hometown, so he has a familiar feeling when he looks at it.

However, the stone of Carrara is relatively white and its color is relatively pure.

The biggest specialty here is this pure white marble! Di Palma introduced with a smile.

Yang Cheng was sitting in the passenger seat, looking curiously at the buildings around him. Although they were all built with square stones, the buildings here are more Italian-style, with arched windows and door frames, very Gothic. Flavored roofs and so on, these were not seen in his hometown before.

The environment here is good, but the beach we passed by just now is too dirty and messy! Yang Cheng said with a smile.

When they came here just now, they passed by the sea, which should be connected to the Mediterranean Sea, but it is like a bay, the beach is very long and big, but it is very dirty, so no one can see anyone playing.

It seems that it is the same everywhere in the world, and not everyone knows how to use this natural resource rationally.

DiPalma seemed to be very familiar with this place, so he found the place he had made an appointment with Buffon, parked the car, and they went in.

It is a restaurant, but it is close to the seaside and fishing port, so the seafood is more abundant.

They came from Palma, more than an hour's drive, and they didn't eat anything, because they only ordered a few dishes and ate them first, anyway, it was still early.

After eating, they chatted for a while, all about Yang Cheng's coaching team building.

Di Palma was the goalkeeper coach of Parma before. He was a very powerful goalkeeper coach. At the same time, he also cultivated Buffon. After that, Frey also achieved glory under his coaching, and Di Palma He also cultivated many well-known goalkeepers for Italian football, including Amelia, who has been instructed by him.

But today's Italian football does not pay enough attention to the coaching staff, let alone the relatively lonely goalkeeper coach.

Everyone is like this. Today’s Italian goalkeepers are at their peak. There are not only powerful stars like Pagliuca, Peruzzi, and Toldo, but also the rise of rookies like Buffon. The goalkeeper is very relieved in the future.

With such a subconscious mind, the situation of the goalkeeper coach is miserable.

For a long time, there has been an unwritten unspoken rule in the Italian coaching staff, that is, the salary of the goalkeeper coach is the lowest among all coaching staff members, and most of them are even lower than those former star coaches of the youth team.

There are many reasons for this result, and it will not be clear for a while.

Di Palma was Parma's goalkeeper coach last season. Buffon's growth over the past few years has been inseparable from his help. Even his first start came from his encouragement, and Buffon himself has always put Di Palma as his mentor.

But with Ancelotti's resignation, the newly appointed head coach Malesani also brought in his trusted goalkeeper coach Pesci. Di Palma was directly relegated to the youth team as a coach, which made Di Pa Erma couldn't accept it, and announced his departure after the end of the season, planning to find another team to play for.

Parma definitely doesn't care about the resignation of a goalkeeper coach, but Yang Cheng quickly found him and visited him in person, hoping that he can join his coaching staff, fill in Elman's shortcomings, and become the team's leader. The goalkeeper coach, for which he is willing to offer a handsome annual salary.

With a high salary and a wealthy family like Inter Milan, Di Palma, who is suffering from no next family, did not hesitate too much, nodded and agreed directly, and accompanied Yang Cheng to visit Buffon in person.

Goalkeeper is a very interesting position, but it also requires experience. Buffon is only 21 years old this year. He is young and energetic, but the most important thing is to allow him to maintain a stable performance for a long time. This is not very good for Pesci. Ideal! Yang Cheng has watched Buffon's game, and his performance in the second half fluctuated greatly.

The main reason is that they can't get used to young goalkeepers. They always look at the older goalkeepers habitually, thinking that they have enough experience, but in fact, whether they can concentrate is the most important thing for a goalkeeper. The most important thing, so my training is always thinking about how to make them better maintain their concentration, try to mobilize their enthusiasm, and then help them to concentrate in the game and better play themselves Strength!

For a goalkeeper, goal-line technique is indeed very important, but concentration is definitely the most important, because without concentration, even if your goal-line technique is good, how much can you play in the game?

DiPalma is still very confident in his own training methods. After all, Buffon is in his hands and served as Parma's main goalkeeper at a young age, and he played very well.

Do you think it is possible for Buffon to switch to Inter Milan? Yang Cheng asked with concern.

Di Palma thought for a while, It's not impossible, but it's more difficult to convince Palma!

I have a solution for the team. It's nothing more than the transfer fee. I plan to use 10 million US dollars, plus Paulo Sosa and Dabo, in exchange for Buffon! Yang Cheng is obviously determined to win Buffon.

DiPalma was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement, I'm afraid Parma won't refuse such an offer!

Just as he was talking, he saw a young man in sportswear walking into this Italian restaurant with his hands in his coat pockets and a pair of sunglasses. DiPalma immediately stood up and waved to him.

This is the head coach of Inter Milan, Caesar Yang Cheng! Di Palma immediately introduced to Buffon, This is Buffon.

Hello, Gianluigi! Yang Cheng stood up and reached out to Buffon.

Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng! Buffon shook hands with Yang Cheng politely and modestly.

The three sat down together.

I believe you should have heard about the recent purchase from Parma by Inter Milan, right? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Although Buffon was relatively young, he didn't have the slightest stage fright when facing Yang Cheng. He nodded and said, Yes.

What do you think? Yang Cheng asked again.

Buffon looked down at the table, obviously thinking about how to answer.

I am sure to convince Parma. I hope you can agree to transfer to Inter Milan, because in my plan, you will be a very important member of Inter Milan. You will replace Pagliuca and become the team's main goalkeeper. Yang Cheng said very sincerely.

The one sitting in front of him is the top goalkeeper in the world in the next ten years. If he can get him, at least when Yang Cheng is in charge of Inter Milan, he won't need to worry about the goalkeeper anymore.

To be honest, Yang Cheng likes this kind of one-and-done transfer measure very much, just like he likes to introduce the kind of middle-level players who are capable but not well-known and eager to succeed.

Vincenzo, have you decided to join Inter Milan? Buffon suddenly looked at Di Palma.

The latter nodded, Mr. Yang Cheng invited me to join his coaching staff as goalkeeper coach, and I agreed!

After a pause, DiPalma was obviously also observing Buffon, and decided to help Yang Cheng, I believe that in the past period of time, you should also be able to understand some ideas. Although this Parma team once Ambitious, but unfortunately, with the departure of La Scala and Ancelotti, this team has begun to turmoil.

But Inter Milan is not much better! Buffon said with a wry smile.

Although this team is a rich family, it is a down-and-out rich family. It has long been hailed as a black hole of stars.

Then I can guarantee that everyone will see a different Inter Milan in the new season! Yang Cheng seemed confident.

He already has a set of plans for the construction of this Inter Milan. Although Nesta will not be able to come for the time being, he is confident that he can fill the gap in the defense and ensure the stability of the team's defense.

For the current Inter Milan team, the defense is stable, and the results will naturally improve.

Yes, Gianluigi, I am also optimistic about Mr. Yang Cheng's coaching future at Inter Milan. Maybe you can think about it. After all, this is a vast stage where you can really show your own strength. Playing in Inter Milan and Parma The ball, that is absolutely different, it is a rare opportunity! Di Palma continued to persuade.

Buffon smiled wryly and shook his head, I don't know, but I'm just a player. If you can convince the club, then I can't refuse, can I?

After Yang Cheng heard this, he immediately laughed, nodded and said, That's fine, Gianluigi, I believe joining Inter Milan will be the most correct decision you've ever made!

Buffon also stood up and shook hands with Yang Cheng again. He knew that when Inter Milan wanted to introduce a player with a lot of money, few teams could refuse. Maybe Lazio could do it for Nesta, but Parma will not do this kind of thing for Buffon, because the former is the flag of Lazio, and the latter is just a goalkeeper of Parma, nothing more.

…………

…………

Yang Cheng returned to Parma immediately after seeing Buffon, and immediately sent a letter of intent for the transfer of US$10 million plus Paulo Sosa and Dabo.

Parma attached great importance to this transfer intention and immediately started negotiations.

Last season, the Parma team was limited in strength. Although they were ambitious, they were powerless. At present, in order to get Amoruso from Udinese, they kept asking high prices. In addition, the Tanzi family encountered difficulties in business. It's a little troublesome, and they can't continue to invest more in the club, so it is difficult for them to sign in other positions.

Paulo Sousa and Dabo are both players that Malesani wants to get, so Parma immediately contacted Malesani.

When the latter heard that selling Buffon could get Paulo Sosa and Dabo, and at the same time get a transfer fee of 10 million US dollars, he didn't have much opinion. After all, there is still Guardalben in the team. As well as the Reggina goalkeeper Misilo, who was booked by Parma just after the end of the season, these two players are very young and their strength is also favored by Malesani, but they have always lived in the shadow of Buffon.

If you sell Buffon in exchange for two experienced fighters and $10 million, Malesani thinks it's a good deal.

So the two sides quickly reached an agreement. Parma allowed Inter Milan to formally contact Buffon, and the two sides can start negotiations on the contract. As long as the contract is negotiated, Buffon will be considered a player of Inter Milan.

Yang Cheng didn't want to have long nights and dreams, so he immediately asked Facchetti to arrange a contact with Buffon's agent in Milan. The salary offered by Inter Milan is higher than that of Parma, and the contract treatment is also very good.

After going through a series of procedures, Inter Milan officially finalized the first transfer of the season. With the addition of Paulo Sosa and Dabo, Inter Milan introduced the future No. 1 goalkeeper in the world from Parma, Buffon!

After Buffon's transfer was finalized, Yang Cheng sat in Milan City, commanded Inter Milan's transfer army, and attacked everywhere.

Under the urging of Yang Cheng, Inter Milan quickly reached a franchise agreement with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nedved, and Lucio, and they all signed franchise contracts with the club. Already considered an Inter Milan player.

As for Panucci, Real Madrid is not interested in this player. Piri has had many contacts with Inter Milan before. When Yang Cheng met him at the San Siro, he did it for Panucci. Qi's transfer came.

The two sides had the previous foundation. After Yang Cheng once again confirmed the transfer, Real Madrid didn't make too much see-saw, and Panucci, the world's number one right back, joined Inter Milan smoothly with 10 million US dollars.

In Bari, Facchetti came to Bari in person and met the full-back Zambrotta who played here. The future main force of the Italian national team Facchetti is actually no stranger, because he was a guest at Mea last season. When checking the stadium, he once opened the scoring for the team and helped Barry beat Inter Milan away.

Under the condition of Yang Cheng's key request, Facchetti came to Bari in person, met Zambrotta, and told about Inter Milan's invitation to him, hoping that he could join Inter Milan.

But at the same time, Juventus and Milan are also eyeing this player, and they have already been in contact with him. The invitation from Inter Milan can even be said to be a bit late.

But Facchetti immediately threw out his temptation when they first met, the main position!

This is a guarantee that Juventus and Milan cannot give, and then Yang Cheng personally called Zambrotta, analyzed his use of him to him, and promised that he would become the new team of Inter Milan in the new season. an important member of

I know you may be a little worried, but I can assure you that Inter Milan in the new season will definitely be a team full of combat effectiveness. From the beginning of this season, Inter Milan will embark on a journey of full recovery, and you, Will be an important part of Inter Milan's recovery path!

Perhaps Yang Cheng's persuasion played a role, or Zambrotta was really optimistic about Inter Milan, or because his hometown Como is very close to Inter Milan's training base. In short, I don't know what caused it. Anyway, in the end Zambrotta agreed to join Inter Milan.

Facchetti directly offered Barry an offer of US$8 million, and then offered Zambrotta a contract non-stop, and reached a preliminary agreement with him.

In this way, Zambrotta finally switched to Inter Milan with a worth of 8 million US dollars.

The transfer market has progressed until now, and the major teams in Serie A are engaged in an arms race in full swing. Among them, Inter Milan has invested the most, but its strength has improved the most.

$45 million to pack Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nedved and Lucio, if not because of Yang Cheng, this is simply impossible to achieve; $8 million to introduce Zambrotta; $10 million to get the third goalkeeper of the national team Buffon; $10 million got Panucci.

With a total investment of 73 million U.S. dollars, as well as the addition of Paulo Sosa and Dabo, Inter Milan immediately opened a round of transfers in Serie A** at the beginning of the transfer market, especially the ones they introduced Among these players, there are many Juventus and Milan secretly coveted, but they did not make a move, and now they can only hate secretly.

At the same time as completing these transfers, Inter Milan is also completing a major cleanup. Players in the team, including Coe and Morello, have been sold by Yang Cheng, but the current sale has just begun. It is expected that from these Players recovered around $30 million in funds.

This is not to say that Inter Milan's players are very valuable. In fact, 17 players were sold for a price of 30 million US dollars. Yang Cheng really felt that his grandma's family had lost money.

But in Yang Cheng's view, selling is imperative.

The reason is also very simple. Many of these players are either not strong enough to gain a foothold in Inter Milan, or they are past stars, but they all receive high salaries, which is absolutely unacceptable to any club.

Running a club is not about opening a charity hall, not about benevolence, but about efficiency.

What Yang Cheng has to do now is to guide Inter Milan back to the normal club management system from the emotional ruling phalanx of the Moratti period, and help Inter Milan establish an orderly management system .

Furthermore, eliminating those bloated affiliates can greatly reduce the burden on Inter Milan and greatly improve the competitiveness of the team. This is why Lippi sold players wantonly as soon as he took office in Yang Cheng's previous life.

But the Inter Milan fans outside obviously couldn't understand this kind of move. They began to doubt Yang Cheng's transfer strategy, thinking that this kind of crazy selling would greatly reduce the team's competitiveness.

Today's Yang Cheng seems to be standing in the position of Lippi in his previous life. He has been questioned and bombarded by Inter Milan fans from the beginning, but he is better than Lippi in that he keeps Bergomi. The latter agreed to stay with the team and serve as Yang Cheng's spokesperson in the locker room.

Another aspect that Yang Cheng is better than Lippi is that he is not as wasteful as Lippi. He gave up outstanding talents such as Simeone, Zanetti and Pirlo. Cunjing, I believe that Inter Milan will be more competitive in the new season.

After finishing the arrangement, Yang Cheng assigned Facchetti to carry out three transfers, namely two midfielders and a central defender, and then he went to Silicon Valley alone.

If Inter Milan wants to set up a laboratory, they need to find specialized talents in programming. Yang Cheng must go to this matter in person to ensure that the other party can understand his needs. Tim Hank and Ke Rhys Schmidt.
