The Young Lion

Galliani was embarrassed by Aldrich's sip of wine. Aldrich coughed twice, and immediately picked up the napkin at hand to wipe his head.

Sorry sorry, it wasn't intentional, it really wasn't intentional.

Galliani wiped the wine off his head and face, forced a smile and said, It's okay, it doesn't matter. Well, what do you think?

How about what?

These four players will be taken away by Milan.

Aldrich refilled his glass of wine, shook his head and said, Why do I feel that you are talking about buying Chinese cabbage, not about player transfers?

Eh? How to say? I am very sincere, and Milan is also very sincere!

No, Milan can come up with a transfer fee of more than 150 million pounds?

Galliani was dumbfounded. His plan was to take away these four players for 80 million pounds. Good guy, the reserve price was 150 million pounds when Aldridge opened his mouth!

He said with a bitter face: It can't be so expensive, can it?

Aldridge's expression became serious, he took Galliani's hand, and said seriously: Let's talk about Materazzi first, his size alone, 10 million base, and then talk about his defensive ability, first of all, air defense is no good Question, physical confrontation can crush him, how many strikers can you count for me? Vieri? Come on, Vieri is dying. This is at least 10 million pounds plus, right? These years at Millwall Accumulated top-level field experience, shaped champion temperament, his honor alone, at least 10 million, right? That’s 30 million pounds, Millwall is not a jump sale, you don’t have to pay at least 5 million pounds more to show your sincerity ? 35 million pounds, you can buy it, no loss.

Galliani was dumbfounded and wanted to speak. Aldridge continued: Let's talk about Zambrotta, he is now a great man who can compete for the world's number one full-back. He can attack and defend well, and he can play as a guest winger when he goes up. Occasionally, he can handle opponents in one go. Damn, I really don't know. I don’t want him to leave. However, since he wants to leave, I won’t stop him, but think about how much Carlos is worth? Go to Real Madrid and ask for 30 million pounds. See if Real Madrid can sell Carlos to you, and he is now How old are you? 25 years old, the golden age! No matter who buys it, at least 5 years, one position is at a world-class level, so you can rest easy. 40 million, you are my friend. I will give you this price.

Galliani was about to cry.

Gattuso, I admit that this kid is not very famous, but I like him. I like him very much. He is like a bullfighter. When he is in the mood, he can kill the opponent's entire midfield by himself! Don't tell me He's rough, he's smart, he doesn't stick to the ball,

The ball is stable, you know? Who is the player with the highest ball success rate in Millwall's technical statistics? Uh, not Gattuso, but Gattuso ranks in the top three, higher than Pirlo, he hardly passes the ball wrong, which ensures the safety of the defense. You understand the importance of this! Besides, you definitely want Pirlo the most, but Pirlo is not good at defense, you have to assign him the role of a gold medal escort, right? Besides Gattuso, you find me, who else can you find to play such a role? Gattuso is worth at least 35 million pounds, which is cheap for you.

Galliani bowed his head, his forehead began to sweat.

Pirlo, who is Pirlo? The third place in the Ballon d'Or last year, Millwall's brain, how many years did it take me to cultivate such a wonderful talent? Ah? Don't look at the progress of the offensive players in front of Millwall. The ball is like hemp, without Pirlo, their goals are at least half off, Pirlo's ability to control the game, his contribution to the offense and its importance, you Italian football critics are analyzing every day, I don't need to say more, he is How old is he? 23 years old, and his position on the court, the older he is, the more experienced he is, and his state will not decline. What you want to buy is a player who can play for the team for ten years or even longer Zidane can be worth more than 50 million pounds when he is over 30 years old. I know that Pirlo is not as good as Zidane, but Pirlo is better than young. Not much to say, the price is 60 million GBP. You want to take these four players away, okay, let me do the math, 35, 40, 35, 60, uh, look, sell them individually, this is 170 million pounds, we are friends, I will give you a discount , 150 million pounds, your boss will sign the check, and I will release people here, and we can make deals without waiting for the end of the World Cup, so that you can avoid long nights and dreams, and you can prepare for the next season as soon as possible, isn’t it interesting?”

Aldridge finished speaking in one breath, and then raised his eyebrows at Galliani.

Galliani smiled wryly in his heart. Aldrich, the queen, is selling melons and boasting about herself. What can he say?

Find fault?

There are too many choices, so why buy them? Didn't you slap yourself in the face?

In fact, what Aldridge said is basically correct.

If it weren't for the advantages and outstanding abilities of these players, Galliani really wouldn't have come here in person.

The reason why his psychological price is very low is due to practical factors.

These Italian internationals want to return to their homeland, not for competitive reasons. Then, first of all, in terms of competition, clubs outside of Italy can be excluded. In other words: there are fewer bids.

In Italy, the top three in the north will bear the brunt of the attractive clubs, followed by clubs like Lazio and Parma who are in financial crisis, while the attractiveness of Rome and the competition for transfer fees can be ignored.

Juventus, Inter Milan, Milan, to put it bluntly, these three.

In view of Millwall's off-court grievances with Juventus, the possibility of the two doing business is almost zero.

Galliani wants to compete, nothing more than Inter Milan.

Inter Milan has no time to think about the transfer operation in the summer now, because they are busy competing for the championship. The turmoil in the transfer market, let alone whether the transfer can be finalized, will first affect the hearts of the people inside. Will do stupid things that destroy the Great Wall, not to mention the style of Cooper leading the team. In terms of competition, a player like Pirlo is definitely not what Cooper wants. Pirlo is good, but it is not the type that Cooper likes to use. It's useless to buy, so Aldridge said that Pirlo is worth 60 million pounds. If it is an open bidding, all the giants in Europe will come to participate in the competition. Even if it does not reach 60 million pounds, a discount of 40 million pounds should be fine, but now that the Milan family is the most sincere and actually participates in the competition, the transfer price will definitely not be raised.

Could it be. Cheaper?

Galliani was silent for a long time. Just squeeze out such a sentence.

Aldrich looked at him for a while, then patted the table and said, Okay. Since you have opened your mouth after so many years of friendship, if I refuse, I can't justify it. 5 million. No, 10 million! 140 million pounds. If someone else told me In that case, I will definitely raise the price.”

Galliani held Aldrich's hand backhand, and said sincerely: Aldridge, I know, thank you so much, how about this. Round up, 100 million pounds!

Aldridge's eyes widened, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Galliani held it tightly. He sighed and said: Old friend, you make it difficult for me to do this. Almost half of the team's main force is only 100 million pounds? How can I explain to the fans? Your price is an insult to Millwall, yes. The insult of these four players, the honors they have won, add up to at least forty or fifty championship trophies! Is it worth 100 million pounds? I will gather 7 substitutes, plus the four of them, to play a commercial game for a year , and earn back at least 50 million pounds.

Galliani figured it out, and Aldridge would definitely not sell these four players for less than 100 million pounds. Maybe 140 million is a psychological price, and at best there will be a fluctuation of about 10 million.

Galliani gritted his teeth and said: 120 million pounds, no more!

Aldridge looked suspicious and asked, Can Milan pay so much?

Lao Bei is wealthy, but it doesn't mean that Lao Bei is a fool. He invested so much at once. A rich man playing politics may come up with a negative answer after calculating the gains and losses.

It's very simple, take out 120 million pounds, and vote 40 million pounds every summer, so that Milan fans can praise Lao Bei, obediently vote for him and tick the support option in the support survey, why bother? Why spend so much money?

Seeing that Aldridge seemed to agree, Galliani showed a slight smile, let go of his hand, and said: In summer, we can pay 50 million pounds directly, and then pay the rest in installments, what do you think? Sample?

Don't talk about it! Millwall never accepts installment payments, and money is getting less and less valuable. You understand this. Ten million pounds ten years ago can make a shocking transfer. Ten years later, ten million pounds can at best buy a transfer. Second-rate player, old friend, are you trying to kill me?

Seeing that such a discussion was inappropriate, Galliani made another move and suggested, How about this, how about Milan joining the player trade?

Aldrich turned his head to the other side, obviously not interested, but Galliani beamed and began to sell.

Old friend, why don't you listen to my introduction first, Albertini, how about it? A generation of midfield superstars with countless fans. Although they are a bit older, they can provide a wealth of experience in the Millwall team. In this regard, you You can also understand the importance, right?

Aldridge curled his lips and said, It's so good, why doesn't Ancelotti want it?

About four months ago, Ancelotti came to Milan to take up his new post. Although his two years in Juventus were not successful, he did not fall to the bottom all at once. The two runner-ups in Juventus, plus the previous With his success in Parma, An Pang is now considered to be in a passable state among first-class coaches.

Albertini no longer asked to play the main force in Milan, and only wanted to retire quietly in Milan, but Ancelotti didn't want to see him again, so Albertini could only leave sadly.

If Millwall didn't have Lampard and Alonso who are about to return, Aldridge might really be interested in Albertini's experience, but now, he refuses to let Millwall become a nursing home for other stars in their later years.

Galliani continued: I know you like young players. We have a lot of good talent here. How about Borriello? How about Matri? And our 18-year-old talented midfielder Pastre Luo, Portolotto, 17 years old, known as the Piccolo of the new Piero, and the Stefani of the new Costacurta...

Galliani's mouth is almost broken. Aldridge knows some of the young players he mentioned, such as Borriello and Matri, but he doesn't even know the names of some players who are dubbed XX II. I haven't heard of it, it is estimated that it is as incompetent as Qin II.

Galliani's throat was smoky, and he couldn't continue blowing. Aldridge said: Old friend, those players you mentioned, there are a dozen new Henrys in my training base, Ronaldinho II , Pirlo... I'm selling players, not buying players. Don't be greedy. Since there is so much money, you can just pick any two of these four players and buy them. Uh, I will only accept them once. Pay the transfer fee in full, no installments will be accepted.

Galliani said pitifully: If I don't buy it, if I'm not greedy, wouldn't I let Inter Milan do it? In this way, in terms of overall strength, won't it be impossible to separate the strength from competitors?

The reason is very simple, and Aldrich also understands, he said helplessly: Then I can't give you for nothing, can I?

Why do you call it a free gift?

If you pay 100 million, I'm selling three of your players and giving away one, isn't it?

well......

Galliani scratched his bald head, and finally took a step back. The idea of ​​taking away four players in a package fell through. Now he only sees how many players the team can bring in, 3 or 2. Now he has to go back to the club to think about it Think about it, and combine the opinions of the coaching staff. Since it is 4 out of 3 or 4 out of 2, it must be the best, most practical, and also satisfactory to the head coach. ()
