Red Rebels

536 Big blood change

After the Serie A scandal broke out, almost all Juventus players were in a state of panic. Everyone was worried about what kind of punishment Juventus would receive. Some said points would be deducted, while others said maybe just a small fine would be enough. Solved, but the final result was that they were relegated to the second division and deducted 9 points.

This is tantamount to a death sentence for Juventus!

For a team that has just won the Serie A championship, and for this group of world-class stars, it is unbelievable to play in the Italian Serie B. Even Juventus, whose financial budget will be greatly reduced, I'm afraid it's hard to afford their high salaries.

In this case, except for a few die-hard Juventus players, almost no one can stay!

Yes, in this extraordinary summer, the Juventus Supermarket is fully open, but what is sold is not scarves and souvenirs, but players, world-class stars with great reputations!

There are currently three types of Juventus players. The first type is players who refuse to leave until they are beaten to death. These include rookies such as Del Piero, Nedved and Bodinov, among whom Nedved is more In an interview with the media, he said that Juventus will be the last club he plays for.

"Once Juventus is relegated to Serie B, I have only two choices, either to play in Serie B or to retire!" Nedved said tragically.

Nedvěd also made the same choice as Juventus's flagship figure Del Piero. He also said that he had never thought about leaving Juventus, and he hoped to use actions within his power to appeal to more people. of players to stay.

But there are also some people who decide to leave, such as Trezeguet. Due to Owen's frequent injuries and Cisse's difficulty in taking on the big job, Benitez is very optimistic about Trezeguet. He feels that Trezeguet is suitable for him. A powerful center in tactics, he hopes to bring Trezeguet to the Premier League.

For Liverpool, which defeated the Red Rebels to win the league championship last season, the addition of Trezeguet can greatly improve Liverpool's frontcourt attack power. This all-round center has always been Juventus' most stable number one. The scorer became even more popular after Shevchenko left for the Premier League, and Trezeguet was not opposed to defecting to Liverpool.

Another one who decided to leave was Trezeguet's French compatriot Thuram. Although he is 34 years old, Thuram used actual performance in the World Cup to prove that he is still powerful. Barcelona has always hoped to improve the defense. Thuram is a suitable candidate that they value, but the arrogant Frenchman has made it clear that unless Barcelona commits to the main center back position, he will not go to Barcelona and sit on the bench.

Relatively speaking, Paulson's situation is a bit special. Benitez wants to pack Trezeguet and Paulson because he is not very satisfied with Sissoko's performance, and he also needs to be in the defensive midfielder position. Arrange a competitive position. After all, Hamann is old, and Paulson is the type of player he values ​​​​very much. At the same time, the Dane can also do dirty work.

At least this season with Juventus, Paulson's performance has proved that he can gain a foothold in Europe's top giants!

If the alienation of these foreigners is obvious, then Juventus's Italian stars are less proactive. Buffon's attitude towards leaving Juventus is relatively ambiguous. He once said in an interview with the media that his first choice is to stay at Juventus. Italy, but he did not make it clear whether he would stay at Juventus or join another Serie A giant.

AC Milan's interest in Buffon is no longer something that happened overnight. In addition, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Manchester United are also coveting the best goalkeeper in the World Cup.

Given is no longer able to satisfy the star-studded Manchester City, and Manchester United is worried about Van der Sar's age, while Buffon is in his prime and is one of the top three goalkeepers in the world, enough to fill the gap.

Contrary to the frequent speculation about the transfer from the outside world, Buffon himself did not stand up to deny or clarify. On the contrary, at this time, his agent was rumored to have a meal scandal with AC Milan's Galliani, but he was Vicky, the mentor of Parma and goalkeeper coach, is currently playing for Manchester City. He said that Buffon's air landing at Manchester City is the most ideal ending. He is eager to cooperate with Buffon again. He said that Buffon will become Manchester City's brightest star.

It can be said that whether he will go to AC Milan or Manchester City, or go to Real Madrid to compete with Casillas, or go to Manchester United to compete with Edwin van der Sar, Buffon's whereabouts are confusing.

Equally elusive is Gianluca Zambrotta. The best full-back in the World Cup has yet to find a new club, but there are too many teams eager for him to join, including AC Milan, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Barcelona. , Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United...

Teams interested in Zambrotta are all over the five major European leagues, but Zambrotta himself has no preference. He said that everything depends on the club and his agent, which means that the Italian is not resistant to leaving. It just depends on who is more sincere.

Of course, there are some players in the Juventus lineup who have been put on the transfer market, but no one cares about them, such as Camoranesi and Appiah. There is no problem with the ability of these players, but the key is Their age, salary, and various factors lead to their lack of employment.

But no matter what, with Juventus being judged to be relegated and the Juventus supermarket opening, except for a few individual players, there are almost no items not for sale in Juventus. This has become the consensus of all European teams, so they began to brew how to Split Juventus.

For Geely, accepting the position of "Chairman" of the Juventus board of directors is undoubtedly equivalent to taking over a mess.

It is almost impossible to retain players at this time. The only thing he can do is to sell each player at a better price as much as possible so that both the team and the fans can be satisfied, and then Then quickly form a competitive team and help the team return to the top league as soon as possible.

This is undoubtedly the best choice Juventus can make after the Calciopoli outbreak!

The knock on the door woke up Geely, and the club's CEO Claude Blanc walked in. He was an official who was quickly promoted after the troika including Bettega and Moggi stepped down. He and Geely will be responsible for Clean up this Juventus mess.

The two looked at each other and sighed in unison. They were both directly appointed by the board of directors and were burdened with responsibilities. Although they both had feelings for Juventus, they had to make various cruel decisions, such as Cleansing, such as blood transfusion.

"After our preliminary budget, there is no shortage of buyers for Thuram, Zambrotta, Paulson, Trezeguet, Buffon and other players. These players are basically close to 30 and are not willing to accompany the team. Relegated, now is the best time to sell them." Blanco analyzed helplessly.

"Buffon..." Geely hissed a little. This is known as another banner figure of Juventus, but now even he is unwilling to stay in the team and follow Juventus to be relegated. If How cruel this would be if the fans knew about it!

"It is indeed a pity for players such as Buffon and Paulson. They are still relatively young and can definitely become the team's regular players. Unfortunately, they did not want to stay in the team in the end."

Although relegation is cruel to Juventus, it is actually the best opportunity for Juventus to make a major change. They can sell these big-name stars of the team and get cash to use it to build the team. team, and at the same time build a youth army with amazing combat effectiveness, and return to Serie A next season.

"Preliminary estimates are that if we sell these players successfully, we can get close to 70 million euros. We can get sufficient liquidity, allowing us to buy young players with potential who are willing to follow us through the second division league. In addition, Join our second team and I believe we can return to Serie A next season!”

After hearing this, Geely nodded with a sigh. From an intellectual point of view, Blanco's decision was wise, but from an emotional point of view, after many years of operation, Juventus has found such a combat-effective lineup, but now it is It was really embarrassing for him to have it fall apart overnight.

"Don't be like this, Giovanni, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. They are all professional players and we are all professional clubs. Just look at it!" Blanco comforted Gigli. The old Italian man was full of enthusiasm for Juventus. Feelings.

"Don't worry, Claude, I understand." Geely nodded in agreement, "By the way, how is the player transfer handled?"

Blanco sneered: "There are currently many clubs making offers to us. Zambrotta, Paulson, Trezeguet and Buffon are all popular players. The prices of these players should be higher, but No one cares about Thuram!"

Although Thuram performed well in the World Cup, this player is already 34 years old, has a high salary, and he is also very arrogant. He requires that he be promised to be given the position of the main central defender before he is willing to transfer. This It scared away many buyers.

Thuram's strength is there, and he has maintained good condition, but his price is not high, probably around 5 million euros. The reason why it is so low is mainly because Juventus cannot afford his high salary, and small and medium-sized clubs He looked down on it. No one from a big club would be willing to pay such a high salary for a 34-year-old player unless Thuram cut his salary.

"Relatively speaking, Zambrotta is the most popular candidate. Currently, many giant teams in Europe are lacking in full-backs. Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Barcelona and other giants are all coveting Zambrotta. We are all eager to get Italians, and I am considering selling Thuram and Gianluca Zambrotta together!"

Hearing Blanco's words, Geely couldn't help but frown. He was not interested in such business matters. He had always been disgusted with this kind of behavior that treated players as commodities, but he soon let go. .

For Juventus now, they have no other choice but to accept reality!

"Don't be like this, Giovanni, this situation is only temporary, believe me, everything will get better!" Blanco encouraged with a smile.

"On a happy note, I have contacted Deschamps and he is very interested in coaching Juventus. I can almost guarantee you that Deschamps will be our manager next season. !”

Sure enough, Geely laughed happily after hearing the news.

The current situation is that everyone knows that Juventus will not stay in Serie B for long, but after being deducted 9 points and selling a large number of current stars, whether they can return to Serie A next season, for Juventus It is definitely a big challenge for the head coach, so many big-name head coaches are hesitant about it.

Capello, the head coach of Juventus last season, immediately announced his move to Real Madrid as soon as the season ended. Real Madrid, which has not won a championship for many years, obviously hopes that Capello can bring them a championship, which also makes many old women. The fans sneered at Capello.

But if Deschamps can be recruited, there is hope for Juventus to upgrade!

For this former French captain, he is another typical representative who has successfully transformed from a player to a head coach. When he was a player, he was a hot star in Europe and a great captain of France. However, after retiring, he transformed into a head coach. He has also proven himself with his coaching achievements in the past few years.

Looking at today's football coaches, Deschamps is definitely worthy of being among the best. This is why Geely was very happy when he heard that Deschamps was willing to come.

"In this case, Claude, then settle the transfer matter as soon as possible, and then talk to Deschamps and listen to his request. We have only one goal, which is to return to Serie A next season!" Geely instructed seriously. .

Blanco smiled and nodded in agreement, and the two discussed some club matters in the office.

For Juventus, being relegated to Serie B is not only a difference in league competition, but also represents a reduction in income. Many sponsors have abandoned Juventus, and some have taken the opportunity to significantly reduce sponsorship fees. There are so many things.

In the past, Juventus was one of the top clubs in the world. Their annual sponsorship fee income was astonishing, so they didn't need to be scrupulous about spending money. However, now that the sponsorship fee has been reduced by more than half, the club has to worry about every expense and every transfer. It is necessary to consider carefully, even if it is just an acquisition of several hundred thousand euros, it must be verified and verified.

Being used to being a rich young man, he turned into a poor boy overnight. Such a change is likely to lead to the complete collapse of Juventus. Gigli and Blanco are trying their best to avoid such a collapse.

After encouraging Blanco, Gigli watched the latter leave his office, still worried about the future of Juventus. After all, so many leading stars have left at once, who knows what the future of Juventus will be like. ?

At this moment, the phone in Geely's office suddenly rang. The secretary told him that there was a caller from England who wanted to talk to him directly. After Geely learned the name of the other party, he immediately answered the phone.

The person on the phone made his position clear right from the start, and just as Geely expected, he also came for Juventus players, and he even spotted two of them!
