King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 80 Here Comes Giuseppe Marotta
Chapter 81 Here Comes Giuseppe Marotta

Looking forward, looking forward, Wei Xun finally received a call from Marotta, the future Juventus leader finally agreed to be the general manager of Notts County Club.

Marotta also deeply apologized for not being able to come to Notts County to meet Wei Xun due to the summoning of the team owner after he had dealt with the loan farce with Mansfield.

Wei Xun was overjoyed by this news, those long-established professional managers would not even look at Notts County.Just like finding young players, given the current situation in Notts County, only managers like Marotta who have not yet proven themselves in a wealthy club can be taken advantage of by Wei Xun and recruited to the Notts County club.

Development prospects, remuneration, club level, etc. are all factors that they need to consider when choosing. Only behind an ambitious and well-capitalized boss can they have room to develop themselves.

As for the fact that Marotta didn't come to meet him in Notts County, Wei Xun didn't really care much about it. When people came, they could have any gatherings they wanted in the future, so there was no need to be in a hurry.

Wei Xun made it clear on the phone that he hopes Marotta can come to England as soon as possible. If his contract with Atlanta has not ended and he needs to pay liquidated damages, Notts County will fully bear the money.

The Notts County base is still under construction, but many buildings have finished capping and have entered the stage of interior decoration. Zhao Tai's real estate thinking must not work anymore, and professional talents are needed to plan the overall situation.

If you think about it as soon as you think about it, there will be big problems.Decision-making still needs to be forward-looking.

In addition, someone has to be responsible for the construction of the new stadium in Notts County. For Notts County, which wants to overwhelm the Premier League and the Champions League in the future, the Meadow Lane Stadium, which can only accommodate 2 people, obviously cannot meet the needs.

Those stadiums with a capacity of 10 people are too big for Notts County to digest, so Wei Xun thinks it is more realistic to build a stadium with a capacity of about 5 people and retain the ability for later expansion.

The land is easier to approve, and the required construction funds are not so large.

Wei Xun intends to let Marotta take care of the matter of the new stadium completely. The manpower and funds are sufficient, and he only owes Marotta the east wind to help Notts County.

Zhao Tai was also very happy to learn that there will be a professional football management talent who will take over the daily management of the club.

In the future, he only needs to do a good job in financial work and manage the company of Notts County Investment Group. This will undoubtedly be a boon to him. The football knowledge of those Lao Shizi is really too difficult.

In the future, when I occasionally go to Hong Kong to inspect the Magpie Tea Company, I can also go home and have a look, so I don’t have to squat in the office building of the club every day to accompany the prince to study.

Professionals do professional things, and now Notts County can be regarded as the return of the gods, and everyone is performing their duties. This kid Wei Xun has finally done something serious.

Zhao Tai, who was happy and relaxed, also sent a text message to Wei Kangmei's mobile phone, praising Wei Xun's achievements during this period, please rest assured the old chairman, and at the same time, he also hoped that the sponsorship fee can also support a little more.

Yesterday, Wei Xun received a call from Marotta, saying that he asked Wei Xun to drive two more cars to the airport today, and there was a big gift for him.

No way, Wei Xun could only drive his Grand Cherokee and the Willys M38, and then called to rent a 7-seater commercial vehicle from Marcos, asking him to help drive to the airport .

"When will the car we ordered arrive? This is too bad..."

As the car was driving on the road, Zhao Tai began to care about the 500 million that Wei Xun paid out while he was away.

"Brother Tai, according to the contract, it's just a matter of these few days. Let me tell you, that car is definitely bright enough and magnificent! There is another person in the back, and you have to help me check it out. I want to dig it back. ..."

"Okay, if I'm not satisfied, the money will come from your own pocket, and you have to make it up to me..."

"No, you can't bear it, hahahahaha..."

The bickering between Wei Xun and Zhao Tai can be regarded as a major feature of the Notts County Club, and Guardiola and Old Grant, who are traveling with them, are also laughing...

From London's Heathrow International Airport and Gatwick Airport, there are bus lines and long-distance train lines to Notts County. It takes about three hours, but it is completely unnecessary to drive by yourself.

Wei Xun and the others waited for more than 10 minutes at the airport, and just after meeting Marcos who drove over in a commercial vehicle, Marotta and his group came out from the airport passageway.

Wei Xun, Zhao Tai, and Guardiola all enthusiastically stepped forward to help Marotta and the accompanying personnel carry their luggage to the car they drove.

"Wei, let me introduce. This is my first assistant, Fabio Paratici. He is a very good scout. I think you two will have a lot in common!"

Although Fabio Paratici and Marotta have been separated in 19 years, they are their own masters, but it does not prevent them from coming to Notts County to make progress together at this time.

The cooperation of the two has contributed a lot to the rise of Juventus: Ronaldo, Pirlo, Pogba, Dybala, Vidal, Alex Sandro, etc. are all masterpieces of the two of them.

Historically, Marotta took Fabio Paratici to Sampdoria after the end of the season.

Because of Wei Xun's appearance, the day of their perfect match has been brought forward a little bit.

Although Fabio Paratici has only played in the Italian third division during his playing career, his ability as a scout will definitely be a great addition to Notts County's scouting system.

With his own foresight, plus Mr. Pat Devlin and Fabio Paratici, the configuration of Notts County's scouting system can be considered luxurious.

"Giuseppe, thank you very much!"

"Fabio, you are also welcome to join the Notts County family..."

Wei Xun shook hands with Marotta and Paratici very friendly, and introduced Zhao Tai, Guardiola and Old Grant to them.

The acquaintance Marcos also came up and sent business cards to the two, "Gentlemen, if you need a car, you can find me, my sire, Marcos, there is a small car dealership next to the base in Notts County..."

Later, Marotta introduced to Wei Xun the other two young players he brought to Wei Xun and their parents, "This is Ivan Pellizzoli and his parents, the goalkeeper of the Atlanta youth team, 20 years old, I thought it was a good choice to come to the UK, so I discussed with his parents to bring him here, and it was settled after spending 15 pounds on training."

Pellizzoli, Wei Xun has heard of, does not have a brilliant resume, but he is indeed a good goalkeeper.

It is true that there are so many good goalkeepers in Italy, and there are too many goalkeepers who have been under pressure. Without strong ability, they will not be able to get ahead.

"This is the star player of our youth team, Ricardo Montolivo, excellent central midfielder, I believe he is still very competitive in Notts County, only 16 years old, with great potential for development."

Maybe Marotta had something to say, and it was inconvenient to say it to so many people, so she leaned close to Wei Xun's ear and said quietly:

"His father valued your youth training coach more, and Atlanta treated him too badly. He didn't sign a professional contract, and his parents proposed to terminate the contract. He brought it here without spending a penny. How about it? Surprise?"

Wei Xun hugged Marotta, and slapped Marotta's back heavily, "Giuseppe, you are really a timely help! Our midfield depth is not enough..."

Afterwards, Wei Xun turned around and greeted the two young players and their parents, "Our Notts County players' apartment is still being renovated and ventilated, and we can't move in at the moment. To rent a house, you can also entrust the club to help you rent a house."

"You don't have to worry about the rent. Our club will pay the full amount. You can move in after the club's house is renovated. You can eat at the club restaurant, or start your own business. If you start your own business, the club A certain amount of subsidies will be given. In short, if you have any difficulties, you can come to the club to find us. Notts County says it is a club, but it is actually just a big family..."

Wei Xun's statement made Pellizzoli and Montolivo's parents very satisfied. At least Notts County gave them a good first impression.

No more greetings, 13 people took three cars to go to Notts County. Fortunately, Marotta said hello in advance, otherwise so many people still have luggage, the original plan is really impossible to pretend to leave.

Marotta is here, bringing Paratic and two players, and the future of Notts County has added a bit of protection.
