Chapter 222

The draw of the European Champions League quarter-finals group draw was announced. Amid the wailing sound of the French, Inter Milan and Lyon collided. The luck of the "Blue and Black Empire" was really good. In the 18th final, they faced the "empty shell" Porto, and now they have caught the "soft persimmon" Lyon (Ligue 1 champion). Their big boss Moratti must be hiding in the dark and smiling alone!

Compared with brothers in the same city, AC Milan is much more unlucky. In the 18th final, it met its strong rival Manchester United. After finally reaching the quarter-finals, it actually met Arsenal again. The Milanese should have sued the European Football Association. But no matter what, the two teams are also known for their beautiful offenses, and the viewing of the game is definitely wonderful, which is also the game that fans around the world are most looking forward to.

The Liverpool people can finally take a relaxing rest for a while because they met the Netherlands Eindhoven. Although the opponent is also not weak, this is an ideal result compared to other giants!

I'm afraid everyone has guessed the remaining two teams. Chelsea encountered Juventus, and the two European teams with the strongest defensive capabilities collided together. However, the offensive ability of the "Old Woman" is not very good. At least it is a different reward than the "Blue Lions", but whoever wins and loses is still a suspense. After all, football is round, and anything can happen on the field!

Since Chelsea beat Barcelona, ​​they have not stopped fighting. In the Premier League, they still met gods and killed gods and Buddhas, and they are in a state of unstoppable momentum. Zhang Xiang is becoming more and more stable in the position of the "manager-type midfielder". Not only do he score frequently, but his assist ability has also been greatly enhanced.

Chelsea first massacred the Crystal Palace team that came to visit at Stamford Bridge 5:0, and then did not have any ruthlessness when visiting Fulham and won the game cleanly 3:0!

The league has been held for thirty-one rounds, and there are still seven rounds of games in the Premier League to close. Now Chelsea leads second place Arsenal 13 points, third place Liverpool 15 points, and fourth place Manchester United 19 points.

But Mourinho dares not relax at all now. There are too many things to capsize in the gutter. Thirty-three rounds and thirty-four rounds will encounter a joint attack between Manchester United and Arsenal. This is also the opponent's final desperate attempt!

About 51% of Lazio's controlling stake is owned by a food company, and the Cragnotti family is the major shareholder of the food company. Cragnotti said that the food companies controlled by his family will reconsider their investment in Lazio, which means that Lazio's control may change hands!

Since Kragnoti took over Lazio in 1992, he has estimated that he has invested no less than $400 million to expand his army. It is not an exaggeration to describe the team's seven championships in the past nine years being bought with money.

But whenever the team encounters any low point or poor record, Cragnotti is still the first to be criticized. It is understandable that he is discouraged. When he withdraws, it is still unknown whether Lazio will still spend a lot of money to acquire players.

When Cragnotti's food kingdom was in a fiscal crisis, he made a surprising decision to announce the sale of the equity, and Lazio's stock price fell on the Italian Stock Exchange.

When the news came out, Lazio's stock price had plummeted to 2.686 euros per share. When the market opened last Friday, the stock price further lowered, with a record low of 2.49 euros, and then a technical rebound at noon, rising to 2.75 euros, but this price fell nearly 30% compared with the historical high of 3.657 euros!

The Lazio club, which was in a money crisis and facing disbandment, finally ushered in a turning point at the beginning of the 2004-2005 season. The Roman giant Carladiolotito spent a lot of money to save the Serie A "declined noble" in the capital Yu Shuihuo. He invested 10 million pounds to buy a 10% stake in the club.

In this way, after the 2004-2005 season begins, Lazio can still stay in Serie A to fight!

However, the record of 8 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses obviously cannot satisfy Carladio. He has completely stopped funding Lazio and transferred all the shares in his hands as soon as possible. Although this will cause him heavy losses, it is still unknown whether Lazio can stay in Serie A this season, and he has no reason to take this risk!

Lazio can be said to be one of the most unsatisfactory teams in the Serie A team. It and Parma are both wandering around the relegation zone. The only two of the seven Serie A sisters in the past are the worst teams!

Gaddafi is very interested in Lazio, but he has no choice but to become Juventus' third largest shareholder too early. According to regulations, he cannot acquire Lazio shares. Many economic strongmen, including pharmaceutical giant Bertalelli, are interested in entering the football world, but they are now in a wait-and-see period and hope to minimize Lazio's value!

In early April, the long-lasting country is like a dream!” Baggio immediately became interested!

"Thank you for your compliment!"

Baggio asked tentatively: "What is your purpose in this trip?"

Ye Tianhong said straight to the point: "Please come out!"

"Please come out? Oh, no, I can't promise you, because I have completely bid farewell to the football field. You know, I am no longer young, and now it is the world of young people!" Baggio refused, because basically everyone invited him to come out again every day, but no one succeeded!

Ye Tianhong smiled lightly and said, "No, I think you misunderstood. I don't want you to play football! But being a head coach is not very difficult for you. I believe you will become the best head coach!"

"Head coach?"

Ye Tianhong repeated again: "Yes, head coach!"

"Is China? Although I really want to go, you should know that the East is too far away for me. I have made up my mind to be with my wife and children. I owe them too much!" Baqiao politely refused!

"What if you were asked to teach in the Italian league?"

"Italian League?" Baggio thought carefully, suddenly thought of something, stood up from the sofa with a "rubbing" and stared at Ye Tianhong intently, and asked tentatively: "You are not the mysterious Chinese who just acquired Lazio, are you?"

Ye Tianhong shrugged without denying it. After holding up the coffee cup with his right hand, he took a sip and immediately praised him: "Well, it's delicious, it's so great!"

"Although I am confident in leading a team, I have not received professional training. Why did you find me?" Baggio was really moved. Although many people are now invited to him, most of them are idle positions such as "youth team coach" and "technical director"!

"Professional? No, I never believe in this thing. People always like to compare the stadium to the battlefield. I agree with this view very much. There is an old saying in China, "Learning should be experienced from actual combat." I dare not be interested in the guy who talks about war on paper!"

Baggio said with a special taste: "Lazio's record this season is very bad!"

Ye Tianhong smiled confidently and said calmly: "The past does not represent the future! Now all the players in Lazio's team will disappear into the starting list for next season!"

"Well? Then you are ready?"

Ye Tianhong rubbed his eyebrows and said confidently: "Next season, the best young players in the world will pour into Lazio. I know deeply that the superstar policy will not only cost a lot of money, but the effect will not be very good. Real Madrid is the best example. You must know that young players are the hope for the future!"

Baggio nodded in agreement, then he looked worried on his face, his mouth squirmed a few times, but he still didn't say it!

Ye Tianhong seemed to have guessed Baggio’s thoughts, and smiled strangely, saying meaningfully: “I can give you three years to manage all the matters of the team. No matter what bad results the team has, even if it is a relegation!”

"The roster of players...!"

"My assistants have already contacted, but I promise that they are all young players at the national level and they have great potential. Of course, if the situation allows, I mean other teams can be sold, and I will not give up on acquiring several international superstars to increase the team's influence!"

Baggio lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Can you give me some time to think about it? I need to have a good talk with my wife!"

Ye Tianhong smiled slightly and said calmly: "Of course, your request is not too much, but this season's Serie A is about to end in more than a month. I hope you can reply to me as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I will definitely reply to you as soon as possible!"

"Well, it's getting late, I'm going to say goodbye!" Ye Tianhong stood up, took out an English business card from his wallet, and delivered it to Baggio: "I have my phone number here. If you think it through, please feel free to call me, thank you!"

"Okay, I will definitely consider it seriously. Goodbye!" Baggio sent Ye Tianhong out of the door, then hugged Little Matia's shoulder and returned to the house!

"Matya, what do you think, Zhang's proposal!"

Little Matia rolled her eyes a few times, and the little ghost said, "Dad, since you have decided, let it go, our whole family will support you!"

"You boy!" Baggio smiled bitterly and rubbed Mathia's hair!

"Dad..." After a while, Little Mathia suddenly became serious!

"Matya, what's wrong?"

"I think this is an opportunity, and I hope you can seize it!"

"Oh? Why???"

"You have won the second place in the World Cup (1994), third place in the World Cup (1990), Serie A champion 2 (94/95, Juventus! 95/96, AC Milan!), League Cup champion (92/93, Juventus), Italian Cup champion (94/95, Juventus)."

"But you have never won the European Champions League. Don't you think this is a regret? Since the player era cannot be completed, then you can do it in the name of a coach!"

“……!!!”

“……!!!”
