Golden Greenery

On August 1, 2006 AD, the world's major football media published front-page headlines at the same time, and the most expensive thunder in football history rumbled around the world.

The 2005 European Ballon d'Or winner and German Madiburg captain Zhuo Yang moved to Italy's AC Milan for 78 million euros.

For more than half a month after the World Cup, the European transfer market has shown an abnormal depression. Almost all the wealthy clubs have stayed put. Only Chelsea has made some moves in transfers that can be talked about. Ballack moved to Stamford Bridge on a free transfer, but other than that, there was no big news.

Europe has been waiting, waiting for someone to make a decision. Until the last moment, all the wealthy clubs did not give up. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Roma, and Bayern were all using various means. As for other teams, Lazio, Dortmund, Liverpool, and Tottenham. Tomb Raiders, Monaco, etc., knowing that they were outmatched, have quietly died down.

These wealthy families either played the emotional card, the money card, or the honor card, and each showed their magical powers. They harassed and frightened Zhuoyang so much that he did not dare to leave the United States. He hid in the Miami beach villa arranged for him by Raiola and refused all media interviews and interruptions. .

Inter Milan, which has always been very safe, finally made a mistake. Therefore, if you don't see things in this world until now, you really don't know what it will be like.

The 60 million transfer fee that Zhuo Yang and Raiola have been giving to other teams is indeed the price offered by Inter Milan a few months ago. Mr. Moratti and General Manager Facchetti have never denied it. . But in fact, the 60 million was the package price paid by Inter Milan to Zhuo Yang and Grosso from Madiburg.

However, firstly, Inter Milan wanted to disrupt Madibao's military morale before the Champions League quarter-finals, and secondly, at that time, Zhuoyang had no intention of transferring. Therefore, Inter Milan, which was declined by Zhuo Yang and Madibao, later offered Grosso a personal transfer price of 18 million.

Of course, the wholesale price will naturally be more favorable. From this point of view, Inter Milan's actual price for Zhuoyang is about 45 million, and this price is very consistent with Zhuoyang's true worth and current market conditions.

But since there is a saying of 60 million, after Zhuoyang decides to transfer, Madibao will naturally use this as the standard. As the so-called asking price is high, he will pay back the money on the spot. 50 million or less is not unsaleable. However, Inter Milan encountered difficulties.

Inter Milan is the property of the entire Moratti family, and Massimo Moratti only controls the club as a representative of the family. The family has always been supportive of his willfulness. He wanted to spend as much money as he wanted to buy the stars, and the family agreed after he kept showing off. But gradually, his elder brothers who were already causing trouble in the family couldn't stand it. Football was simply a bottomless pit! It’s okay to say you have good results, but look at what you’ve been doing these past few years.

6,000,000! This year there is only a transfer budget of 60 million, and there is no more. The family gave the bottom line, and Massimo Moratti had no choice but to give up.

If you use these 60 million to hit Zhuoyang, it will naturally be enough, but the situation has changed this year, and Mr. Moratti has more thoughts.

The "Calciopoli" incident broke out, and Italy has been hiding it because of the World Cup, but this matter cannot go undisturbed. As the core force of the Anti-Holy Alliance, Moratti naturally knows the core inside story. Juventus cannot escape and being forced to be relegated is a certainty.

When a player signs a contract with a club, there are some standard format text clauses, one of which is required in many player contracts: if the team is relegated, the player will receive the right to a free transfer.

This means that Juventus's talented stars can escape from the team at will, and the world will divide Juventus. However, in this football world, no one will do everything right. The transfer fee will still be paid, and it will not be discounted too much. As long as Juventus doesn't block the players, it will be nice for everyone.

Of course, this is where Juventus’ status lies.

If it were like Madibao, people would be poached completely and not even a dime would be left behind, there is no doubt about it.

The 'Calciopoli' also involves other clubs such as AC Milan. AC Milan will not be relegated, but points will be deducted, which will inevitably affect the competitiveness of the league in the future. As a result, this became a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Inter Milan.

Taking the opportunity to acquire several Juventus players, coupled with Zhuo Yang's joining, and taking advantage of the opportunity when old rival AC Milan was suppressed, Inter Milan can take advantage of the situation and regain the glory of the 'Big Inter' era. It is not a dream, and this has always been the case. This is the dream Moratti pursues.

In this way, 60 million seemed too much, and it was quite nervous to use it. Calculating left and right, Zhuo Yang could only give up to 40 million at most. In this way, Facchetti shouted out a new price of 35 million. .

Hasler took a look: Are you fucking kidding me? If your family had such a cheap Zhuoyang, I would want as many as I want!

It increased bit by bit, and when it reached the cap of 4,000,000, Facchetti could no longer increase it, and this was still far from Madibao's desired price. With Zhuoyang's promise, Hassler is not in a hurry and will never let go until the last moment.

Facchetti didn't know what was going on behind the scenes. He only saw other wealthy families vying for bids, and his 4,000,000 yuan was indeed not enough. So, after meeting with boss Moratti, Inter Milan came up with a new idea: 4 million + Recoba.

Recoba is Moratti's dearest son. He has received the highest annual salary in the world for almost ten years. Inter Milan is indeed cruel to include him in the deal. After all, Recoba should be fired. 20 million is still worth it. And from Inter Milan's perspective, after Zhuoyang's arrival, Recoba's chances are running out and useless. After Madibao lost Zhuoyang, Recoba, who can also play No. 9 and a half, is the best substitute, and Madibao should like it.

It is a pity that Recoba's 30-year-old age is not in line with Madiburg's team building ideas, and the high annual salary in his original contract is absolutely unacceptable to Madiburg. Facchetti took it for granted. As a result, the negotiations stalled.

Hasler knew that Zhuoyang wanted to go to Inter Milan, so he naturally wouldn't do anything. Supporting Facchetti in this way also meant that he could ask for more, and if he couldn't support it in the end, less would be enough. It doesn't matter a bit. As long as Inter Milan can bear it, Zhuo Yang nodded, in fact, there won’t be too many complaints from the 3,000,000 Madiburg side. Just like Hasler said, after all, there was no Madiburg when Zhuoyang came. Spend a penny.

Zhuoyang and Hasler cooperate very well. Of course he wants to leave more funds for Madibao. Inter Milan has always been so generous, and spending an extra 20 to 30 million is not a big deal in Zhuoyang's opinion.

However, Facchetti made a mistake at the most critical moment. It was his words that shook Zhuo Yang's original intention of not marrying to Inter Milan.
