Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 50 Communication Between Clubs

Modena is not a big city, and their football is not that famous, but even in the whole of Europe, this city is known by many people, of course not because of their football, but because of one of the three tenors in the world The first Pavarotti settled in this city.

Founded in 1912, the Modena team can be regarded as an old team with a long history. It is also the only professional team in the city of Modena. However, the historical achievements of this team are far from brilliant. In their 82-year history, they have only played in Serie A 10 times. Most of the other times they were in Serie B. They have never stayed in Serie A for two consecutive seasons.

In the past few years, Modena has declined to the extreme. In 1992, they were relegated to Serie C 1, and they have not been promoted to Serie B until this year.

And their situation this year seems to be bad, half of the season has passed, they are only ranked No.11, and they have almost lost hope of being promoted to Serie B.

So when Pei Wei and the others met with Mr. Gianni, the chairman of Modena, the chairman seemed to be in a bad mood.

Pei Wei generously forgave the chairman in his heart. The team is now in such a state that the chairman will certainly not be in a good mood.

However, Mr. Gianni politely introduced them into his office. After the secretary brought them coffee, Mr. Gianni sent the secretary away and began to chat with these guests.

"Okay, distinguished guests, guests from that distant and mysterious country China... By the way, there is also Mr. Wenger." Mr. Gianni greeted them: "You come to me today, why are you here?" Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Mr. Gianni doesn't seem to be friendly, which is understandable. Mr. Gianni was upset enough that the team basically lost the chance to make it to Serie B. The intention of these guests is obvious. Definitely wanting to take players away from his team-this is obvious, if it is not for the players, then how can a Serie C 1 team have foreigners come to the door.

"Mr. Gianni... Modena is a club with a long history." Pei Wei said as a compliment: "If I remember correctly, your club was established in 1912, and it has a history of 82 years. This is almost catching up with some big clubs."

I forgot to mention that this time Pei Wei spoke in English because he doesn't understand Italian, but obviously, the Mr. Chairman in front of him also understands English, so the communication is quite normal.

It is always pleasing for others to mention the pride of their club. Mr. Gianni's expression eased a little, and he also put on a smile.

"Our Chinese professional league has just started and there are many imperfections. In this regard, the Italian team can provide us with a lot of experience. If possible, I hope that our two clubs can form a long-term relationship. partnership."

"Oh..." Gianni said suspiciously, he didn't know why the Chinese would talk about this, could Chinese clubs have anything to do with his own Modena?

"Actually, our club is still lacking in hardware, and the scouting system is basically blank... Our Yunjia City has a population of more than 300 million, and there are more than five school teams and amateur teams of all sizes. Ten teams, there will definitely be outstanding young players among them, but our club does not have enough manpower to find them... If your club can send several excellent scouts to stay with us for a long time, then if the better players among them If your club needs it, you will be selected first, and the rest will be added to our youth team, what do you think of this proposal?" Pei Wei said seriously.

The corner of Wenger's mouth twitched imperceptibly. He thought that Pei Wei was playing tricks again. Just because he was able to find a buried genius like Ballack in European football, which had been searched by countless scouts in Europe, his subordinates There are definitely a few outstanding scouts, otherwise how could it be possible to do things that even those gold medal scouts can't do.

Even good seedlings can be found as far away as Europe. Can the good seedlings in the city where the club is located be salvaged?I'm afraid that even if Modena's scouts go, they won't be able to find potential players outside Yunjiatianyu's echelons. With such a blank check to build a relationship with the opponent, it will naturally be bad for the opponent when they ask for the introduction of players. Refused, it really is good eloquence, good means.

But this time Wenger wronged Pei Wei. Pei Wei's words were not aimless. He really didn't have even a scout under his command——Yunjia Tianyu was basically an empty shelf when it was formed, not even a player or a coach. , let alone scouts, and the team he brought is all management talents, let alone scouts, Pei Wei can know Ballack entirely from the memory brought by later generations.

A team with a long history like Modena, even if their current situation is not so good, they naturally have a complete and scientific reserve player training system, Yun Jiatianyu can gradually absorb and learn from each other through scout exchanges The advanced training model will also reduce many detours in the training of young players in China-from this aspect, if this matter can be successful, its significance is more important than finding a good player.

"This..." Gianni was a little moved by Pei Wei's words. What does a club need most?Of course it's a player!As a small club, it is a very practical and effective way to survive by cultivating good players and getting a good price. Italy is so big, and good seedlings are basically monopolized by those giants. A new talent pipeline, that's definitely good news.

But he didn't know whether what this Chinese man with a smile on his face and a demagogic voice said was true, but it shouldn't be false, after all, as long as his scout passed by, he would know the truth. Such lies are meaningless.

Just when Gianni was hesitating, Pei Wei threw another bomb: "The salaries and accommodation expenses of those scouts working in China will be paid by me."

"Okay!" Gianni made a decision: "But I can't sign the contract now. I have to wait for my scouts to visit before we can formally start cooperation."

"No problem." Pei Wei nodded: "We will return to China in three days. At that time, your people can go back with us and see if there are so many teams in the city where our club is located."

Gianni began to believe Pei Wei's words. After all, Pei Wei appeared to be very upright, and Modena did not lose much in this cooperation. If they can find a few talented players, as long as one can become , then everything is returned.

Thinking of this, Gianni stood up with a smile on his face and shook hands with Pei Wei: "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Just when Gianni thought that Pei Wei and the others were about to leave, Pei Wei suddenly remembered something: "Oh, Mr. Gianni, look at my memory... By the way, there is one more thing, I want to buy you A player on the team, I wonder if you are interested?"

PS: It seems that everyone is very familiar with Tony...
