Chapter 19 Dangerous water depths
The taste of the championship will never be enough, and the supporters of Inter Milan will naturally not miss any opportunity to celebrate. With the cheers of the audience, Johnson once again stood in front of Mr. Yang and handed over the championship trophy.
"Remember me? Chinese coach."
"It is very honored to see you again. Mr. Johnson."
"Come on, there's the Champions League."
"Of course, give it all."
Mr. Yang and Johnson said a few short words during the award ceremony, just like an old friend whom they hadn't seen for many years.
When Inter Milan youth army captain Caldillola held up the Champions League Youth League trophy called "Johnsong Cup", blue and black paper soared into the sky and flew into the quiet night sky.
In an interview after the game, Mr. Yang was asked why he "she burst into tears", and he issued a very official answer like "because he was too excited". Only Mr. Yang himself knew that this was not because he was too excited? That was because Balotelli chose to "pass".
In Inter Milan's youth army, the most talented player is undoubtedly Balotelli, but this child seems to have a disease of "developed cerebellum and atrophy", which is manifested in a relatively "second" person. Mr. Yang has taken great pains to educate this genius. He has taken small training, chatted alone frequently, and visited his adoptive parents... Mr. Yang has done a lot of these things. It is difficult to change a person's personality, but Mr. Yang hopes that at least he can find someone who can make Balotelli obedient. Balotelli's adoptive mother is such a person.
"Mario, you have to listen to Coach Yang. Coach Yang is a gift from God." The old lady is a Jewish Italian and has a special affection for the Chinese.
"I know, mom." Balotelli obeyed his mother.
Such a scene will happen almost every time Master Yang finishes his home visit, and the old lady almost treats Master Yang as half of her son.
"Mario, do you know how a genius should make a decision when one-on-one?" Mr. Yang looked tempted.
"Follow the feeling." Mario answered naively.
"Uh..." Master Yang fell head-on. This was a completely Balotelli-like answer. "Mario is not like this. For the genius, what you said just now is right, but we should actually calculate how likely it is to shoot." Master Yang continued to lure him in a straightforward manner.
"oh……"
I'm sorry, what's the reaction of "Oh"?! Mr. Yang was crazy. "What would you do if you had a chance to pass the ball?"
"Shots. They're all one-on-one, don't shoot? There's always a 50% chance."
"Uh..." Mr. Yang wiped his sweat. "Mario, what I just said is that you have a chance to pass the ball. How would you choose?"
"Don't you pass it?" Balotelli scratched his head, then suddenly realized his thigh. "Coach, I understand, you are testing me. Testing whether I am determined enough. I hesitated just now. Now I understand, the answer to this question should be-"
Master Yang stared at Balotelli's mouth, thinking that the bitterness just now had finally worked.
"No! As a striker, you must shoot by yourself!"
Mr. Yang was about to foam at the mouth and struggled and said, "I asked you to pass the ball, a genius. Don't you feel how happy it is to use your genius to help your teammates?"
"Oh... is that?" Balotelli refused to comment.
Now I know why Master Yang burst into tears. The world can be seen. Balotelli adopted Master Yang's suggestions with practical actions on the court. This undoubtedly has cross-generational, milestone, and watershed progress. How can this prevent Master Yang from shedding tears of excitement?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Baresi Elderly packed up his training plan for the day and walked out of the office. Although he was 51 years old, he was still in good spirits. Like Zanetti, Giuseppe Baresi became a member of Inter Milan at the age of 16, and stayed for half his life.
During Mancini's tenure, Baresi was more responsible for defensive training and also helped the head coach manage the team. Before Mr. Yang officially fulfilled his head coaching responsibilities, Baresi was always represented by Baresi. After all, loyal ministers like Baresi are a valuable asset in any club.
The new Chinese reminded Baresi of many past events. In 1992, at the age of 35, he became the head coach of Inter Milan's youth team after retiring. In 1997, he won the Italian youth group championship in 1998 and won the youth team championship in 2002. Baresi has always been a very down-to-earth person. His down-to-earth is reflected in his stable defense on the court and in his meticulous work. Unfortunately, Baresi is not good at speaking. He uses idioms to describe Baresi as a person who is "cooking dumplings in teapots - unable to speak". The content of the dumplings in Baresi's belly is to vigorously develop youth training. This idea seems a bit out of place in clubs that are eager for quick success and instant benefits, so Baresi has never mentioned it to others. But when the Chinese arrived, Baresi seemed to see a hope to realize his ideas.
"Teacher Ba, early." There are always players who arrive early in the training ground. Players like Zanetti who are strict with themselves are the same. Now the new head coach is also here to arrive at the training ground this morning. The sunshine in March was not dazzling. Mr. Yang smiled brightly and greeted Bareci.
The old man smiled and recognized the title of "Teacher Ba". "As of time, Coach Yang."
There was not much communication, and both sides were doing their best to prepare before training. Baresi wanted to arrange the equipment with other assistant coaches in turn according to the training content, urging players who came to the training ground to change into suitable spikes and pay attention to stretching before training. Mr. Yang was like an idle person, chatting with players who arrived early.
It is no surprise that Zanetti can maintain his current competitive state. He is a role model for players in every aspect. Montlivo has developed an English stereotype in Newcastle, which is also in line with his meticulous character.
The only thing that surprised Mr. Yang was Ibrahimovic. This Swedish, known as the "Divine Tower", would actually go to the training ground in advance. However, the Swedish personality is not likable. The only people in the team who can talk to him are Macon, Cruise and the heartless Balotelli.
Mr. Yang walked over to chat with Ibrahimovic without curiosity. Regarding this player, Vincent had already given Mr. Yang a clear warning, "Don't tell him useless nonsense." Because Ibrahimovic doesn't like to listen to nonsense. Is it necessary for me to talk to him to "nonsense"? Mr. Yang complained in his heart. However, there is no need to go up to chat with him, and there will be opportunities in the future.
Winning the "John Song Cup" is an explanation for the children of Inter Milan's youth army. In other words, these children have already blindly admired Mr. Yang. From another perspective, the main players who came to watch this game seemed to feel different things from this game. Because Mr. Yang noticed that some people's eyes had changed when he attended the training class.
Before Yang Shi reversed the Champions League, there was still a league game to play, that is, away games against ** on March 8. ** was known as the home dragon before, and had only suffered 2 defeats.
"Gentlemen, there are still 8 days left before March 15. I only have one goal, to advance to the Champions League. Okay, start training."
The players are very energetic, which makes Mr. Yang very happy. The only thing that is upset is that Adriano did not participate in the training. This is the first player who dares to challenge the head coach's authority - definitely the last one.
The next day, in Mr. Yang's office, Mr. Yang and Ade's agent Linardi sat together.
"I want to know what Ade thinks. His contract with Inter Milan expires in three months. If he still cannot show the qualities a professional player should have, I don't think any club is willing to accept him."
Linardi nodded and shrugged helplessly: "Coach Yang, what you said was also said last year. But, you see, Adr has lost control now. My agency contract with him will expire soon, and his brother may play this role at that time. He is not worried about this, Inter Milan, or AC Milan, Roma, Juventus... There is always a club willing to pay him a salary. He may return to Brazil, which is also a good choice, but he will definitely earn less than he is now. But even that, it will be enough for him to spend a long time."
"You mean, he has given up on himself."
Linardi was silent for a while and nodded. "I brought him from Brazil. I witnessed his growth. From the beginning of loan, no place to King Meazza later, he made some bad friends at the most glorious time. This was also my mistake." Linardi's expression was a little sad. The dependence between agents and players was sometimes not just a contract, sometimes a friend, sometimes a brother, and sometimes a parents. It is certain that agents all hope that their players will get better and better, because only in this way can they create greater value. Yang Shi's Sports Management Group is also operating players, and he deeply understands this.
Master Yang touched his chin, seemed a little hesitant, and finally asked: "Who is managing Ade's money now?"
Linardi was a little puzzled, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Business is a big deal. He deposited the money in the bank. Sometimes his brother Rafael would buy him some value-preserving properties or something. If the club hadn't paid him a salary and the income from endorsement, he would have gone back to the slums of Rio long ago."
In Adriano's absence, Mr. Yang gave a decision to punish him for one week's salary. This did not respond in the team. The punishment was fair and not special, but only expressed Mr. Yang's attitude. Even Mr. Yang had no objection because he didn't care much at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The night had already covered the entire neighborhood, but an office building in the suburbs of Milan was still on. From a distance, this building with a very modern artistic sense exuded a charming luster. A black car drove into the underground parking lot at a rapid speed. Three men in black suits walked out of the car.
The headquarters of Shinshi International Group is located here. The office, which was originally only a few hundred square meters, has become like this in just three years. The rapid development speed makes the old employees who have been staying in this company feel incredible. The main business of this group is to produce various stars: fashion, sports, entertainment industry... At the same time, Shinshi International Group has derived different subsidiaries due to its main business: security companies, information consulting companies, public relations companies, media companies, training companies, etc.
Three men walked into the conference room, and there were already many people sitting in it.
"Hello, Chairman." The man in black in the head said hello to a young and beautiful woman sitting on the top, and then greeted the person sitting next to the woman. "Long time no see, Coach Yang."
The person who is called the chairman is Mr. Yang's wife Ding Yi, and the person sitting next to him is undoubtedly Mr. Yang who looks like a "soft-for-nothing" one.
"Xu Tianyi, I told you before. Now he is the head of the security company under Xingshi." Ding Yi whispered in Master Yang's ear.
Mr. Yang nodded. As a football coach, he obviously has no business talent, but he was lucky enough to get a wife who could make money. Now, Lion Dance Group only has a very small share, but because the cake is big enough, he has become a millionaire, and this unit of tens of millions is still euros. On the latest Forbes Chinese Celebrity Ranking, Mr. Yang's income is more than twice that of Yao Ming's income, reaching more than 80 million euros, while Yao Ming only has 35 million euros. However, from the perspective of sustainable income growth, even Yao Ming did not hide his envy of Mr. Yang: "I will probably retire after playing for another one or two years, and Mr. Yang can work until he is 70 years old, as long as he wants to do it."
Diagonally opposite Master Yang sat Vincent and his two geniuses with extremely high IQs. The two geniuses still looked like they were not concerned about the world, playing with the "star-shaped magic cube" in their hands, which made Master Yang dizzy. On the other hand, Wan Cheng Ruolan didn't know what was written in a notebook.
After all the people were all together, Ding Yi cleared his throat and said, "Originally, someone should have started when he arrived in Italy, but he said he had been busy for so long." Ding Yi glanced at Master Yang with a angrily voice. "The main purpose is to introduce the situation of Italian football. In addition, some plans on Vincent need someone to make a decision, and Tianyi will cooperate according to the situation."
Although Ding Yi was full of complaints, he had a happy smile on his lips. No matter how powerful a strong woman was, she was just a woman under 30 years old. "I hate it, I blatantly show my love." Wan Cheng Ruolan said in his heart. Originally, there was nothing Wan Cheng Ruolan had to do today, but Master Yang was coming to a meeting, so he asked Wan Cheng Ruolan if he wanted to get together with Ding Yi. Since he came back, the three of them were all busy and had never had a meal together.
"Go to the end, who would have thought that this boring meeting would be here?"
The information collected by Xu Tianyi was played on the big screen in the conference room. The background information of the twenty Serie A teams appeared on the big screen one by one, and Xu Tianyi was extracted and introduced.
"Coach Yang, although I know you may not like it or do not want to admit it, my point of view is that no one is clean in the football world." Xu Tianyi said very seriously.
Master Yang's eyes were still on the big screen, but every word Xu Tianyi was typing in his heart.
"Compared with the British's belief in the supremacy of interests, Italians also have their own life creed. Their life creed is Machiavelliism. The core of Machiavelliism is to use any means to achieve its goals. This view has a profound impact on Italians. There are various chaos in Italian society. As long as you are in the shadow of the law, you will do everything you can, so you'd better be mentally prepared. In addition, every family or business that can involve football is definitely no less than what we see in the movie. So you may be
One day in the future, I will hear Chairman Morati tell you that I have a good relationship with the Chairman of **. I am a good friend of Roma. I hope you can train more young players in this game. Believe me, the cost of firing you seems to be very high, but it is actually just a game of a bet company. Winning the game is just a qualified head coach. Playing the score the boss wants is an excellent head coach." After analyzing the three major factions in Serie A, Xu Tianyi made the above summary statement. Although the words were a bit harsh, Master Yang knew that this was the truth.
"But luckily, Morati is perhaps the boss of the 20 teams who most desire honor and care about money. So, there is still a long time before he says those words. Well, most of the information has been sorted into text and will be sent to your email address. Let's talk about the investigation of this person."
The big screen was a photo of Adriano. The man in black next to Xu Tianyi spoke at this time: "Adriano was born in a slum in Rio, where countless children like him wanted to change their destiny through football. We investigated his growth trajectory and some recent things. We found that his ** was closely related to these two people." The so-called investigation in the black people almost investigated Adrian's ancestors for the 18th generation, which was more detailed than the Chinese census. The two people who appeared on the screen knew one of Master Yang, who was Adriano's brother, Rafael.
The man in black pointed to another: "Paul Pass, nicknamed Breadcrumbs. A little drug dealer in Rio, the third-rate type. He had the same combat power as his nickname. He used some small tricks to help him." The man in black said it easily, but Master Yang could imagine how "fearing" Paul Pass was for their small tricks.
Vincent took over the conversation at this time. Master Yang didn't need to know too much about the process. He could also use his butt to know what kind of chemical reaction a brother who only knows how to spend money and a drug dealer's childhood playmate would have: "Last time we had a proposition about the problem players in the team. My group thought of some solutions, but Yang had to decide whether to implement this method."
Mr. Yang is indeed a headache for the team's problematic players. The team's discipline is not as easy to manage as it was in England. There are many factions in the locker room, and if they are not handled well, they will be a fucking result. The best way is of course to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Unfortunately, Ade, as a chicken, is obviously not so easy to kill.
"The first method is both simple and beautiful. Slap two shots and two corpses. Leave a note for Adr, 'If you don't play football well, this is the end'." Vincent said, whispering the gun and blew it gently in front of his mouth. The two geniuses stopped and nodded in agreement.
Another man in black next to Xu Tianyi showed a small white teeth and said, "I am very willing to serve you. And I promise not to leave the beginning and the end."
Master Yang's eyes widened: "Is this the good way you think?"
"I bet he won't accept this method, two idiots owe me 20,000 euros." Vincent turned around and cursed, and the two geniuses lowered their heads in shame.
Wan Cheng Ruolan was sweating. If she really followed this method to cure the players, it would be cured. She had experienced the crime scene personally and would have been regarded as a co-conspirator.
Seeing that everyone's faces were not good, Vincent hurriedly said, "The second method is much gentler. Adriano relies on his money to spend money now. If he has no money, things will be simple."
Chapter completed!
