Chapter 232 Baggio is going to the Parc des Princes to watch the match

"One stone makes a thousand waves!" Gabriel Lepin casually put the "Corriere dello Sport" on Prandelli's desk.

The Italian head coach sitting on the office chair nodded, "I don't think there is anything wrong with what Arrigo Sacchi said." Prandelli knew what his assistant was referring to without even guessing.

"In terms of the selection of the national team members, you and I both know that Italy's renewal speed is indeed not as fast as other football powers, and the Serie A league that supplies the national team with fresh blood is not as good as La Liga, Bundesliga and Premier League. This is a fact."

Standing up from the office chair, Prandelli continued: "So what Sacchi said is absolutely right. Our greatest contribution is to extend the professional playing time of the players. Our greatest failure is to prevent the growth of newcomers. This is the reason for the fall of Serie A, and it is also the reason for the ups and downs of the national team's performance."

Gabriele tilted his head and smiled at Prandelli, who was walking beside him, and said, "You really dare to say that you are not afraid that Mr. Chairman will know?"

"This is the truth, and isn't it just the two of us now?" Prandelli shrugged and spread his hands with a smile.

With that said, Prandelli changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let the media study Sacchi's remarks." He patted his assistant on the shoulder, "We should hurry up and study the lineup for the European Cup. UEFA requires a list to be submitted by the end of this month."

"From the qualifiers all the way, the general lineup is actually the same. I guess you, the head coach, have already made up your mind." Gabriel Leping was noncommittal, and he still didn't understand his partner who had followed him for many years.

"That being said, individual positions still need to be carefully considered." Prandelli has indeed determined most of the lineup in his mind, but there are still two or three positions that give him a headache, and the other is the choice of substitute players.

"When the time comes, call everyone on the coaching staff, and let's do the 'subtraction'." The entire Italian coaching staff has a big face sheet with dozens of people, no accident, everyone basically chooses the European Cup lineup from this big face sheet.

"Okay." Gabriel Lepin wrote it down.

Prandelli went back to his desk and sat down again, took a sip of coffee, and told Gabrielle Lepin another matter, "Oh, by the way, we're going to Paris next week."

No need to think about it, Gabriele Leping blurted out, "Go to see Wang? Next week happens to be Paris Saint-Germain's last home game of the season, and the opponent is Rennes." Obviously he has been paying attention to Wang Zi.

Prandelli smiled and said, "Well, let's go and see, the Ligue [-] Golden Boots are still very valuable, and Robert will also go."

After hearing what Prandelli said, Gabriel Leping was still a little shocked. Of course, it was not because Prandelli was going to watch the Parc des Princes, because it was one of his jobs to inspect the members of the national team. What surprised him was that Roberto Baggio would also go with him.

But after thinking about it carefully, Gabriel Lepin felt relieved.

After retiring, Roberto Baggio was invited by the Italian Football Association to serve as a technical official of the Football Association, and his job happened to be to provide technical assistance to the Italian youth teams at all levels. Although Wang Zi had leapfrogged and played in the adult team, his age was still in line with the Italian youth national team at all levels above U18, so Baggio's visit was naturally considered his job.

Gabriel Lepin was inevitably a little excited, "Robert is willing to inspect Wang, this is a rare opportunity for Wang, if he can be recognized by our national team legend, then the future will definitely be smoother in the national team."

Gabriel Leping did not exaggerate the role Baggio can bring to Wang Zi at all.

Roberto Baggio is the most beloved one in the hearts of Italian fans and the Italian Football Association.

In the past, we often said that the big clubs in Serie A never lack princes, Juventus has a Zebra prince, AC Milan has a Milan prince, ... but there is only one prince in the entire Apennines, and that is Baggio.

The same is true in the hearts of the fans, "If Totti represents Rome, Del Piero makes Juventus proud, and Maldini is the symbol of Milan... then Roberto Baggio is the whole of Italy."

This shows that Baggio plays a pivotal role in Italian football.

"Of course it's a good thing." Prandelli said with a smile, "And the king will definitely make Robert's eyes shine."

Gabrielle Lepin added: "The most important thing is that he's only full next month."

"Hey, I really look forward to meeting them."

-

"Wang, after the last round of Paris Saint-Germain's league match with Lille, the "Sun" photographed you having dinner with Lille player Hazard. Do you have anything to say about this incident?"

A reporter asked this question at the pre-match press conference for the No.30 seventh round of Ligue [-].

Because of the order in which the team attended the press conference, it was Wang Zi's turn to attend the pre-match press conference today.

Wang Zi smiled and said: "This is just a small bet between me and Eden (Hazard). Whoever loses will treat the guests to dinner. We unfortunately lost to Lille in the last game, so I should treat him to dinner, and nothing else."

Most of the Ligue [-] media reporters present knew about the bet between Wang Zi and Hazard, so they didn't continue to entangle.

"Since you and Hazard are good friends, you must have heard about his recent transfer rumors with Chelsea. Excuse me, do you know about this?" A reporter followed the topic and asked about Hazard and Chelsea.

Wang Zi glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and after knowing that he was a reporter from L'Equipe, he said, "I heard some rumors between Eden and Chelsea, and it seems that your L'Equipe reported it."

"Yes." The reporter who asked the question replied.

"But I'm sorry, I didn't ask Eden these things. I think it's his agent's job to handle the matter, so you're asking the wrong person, but I suggest you ask him himself." Wang Zi didn't intend to mess with this matter, even though Hazard really told him, Wang Zi still chose to pretend to be stupid.

In addition, even if Hazard didn't tell himself that he has the memory before rebirth, Wang Zi still knows where the Belgian's future will be.

The reporter of L'Equipe was a little disappointed to see that Wang Zi said nothing.

Later, a reporter from the Italian football media "Football Market" asked: "Wang, I don't know if you have followed the football news in Italy for the past two days, and if you know Sacchi's comment on Serie A."

Without waiting for Wang Zi's reply, the reporter simply told Wang Zi the general content of what Saki said.

"Sorry, I can't answer that question."

Of course Wang Zi knew about these things, but he didn't intend to express his opinion on such a sensitive issue. After all, this would bring more pressure on public opinion than asking him whether Hazard would go to Chelsea.

In the following interviews, Wang Zi did not answer such questions, and the reporters interviewed later simply stopped asking these questions, and the questions raised by everyone also returned to the main topic of Paris Saint-Germain and Rennes.

"Paris Saint-Germain played against Rennes at home, and the team's old player Maurice will also return to the Parc des Princes. This time I reunited with my friends, but they fought on their own. I don't know how you feel?"

In this regard, Wang Zi replied: "I am very happy that Morris can return to the Parc des Princes. Although he came to Paris this time as an opponent, this is the place where he fought. I think everyone will still welcome him. I am even more so. I am very happy to meet again as an opponent."

Then, Wang Zi humorously said: "I heard that he is in very good form in Rennes recently. Although this is a good thing for him personally and the team, but against us, there is no need. I don't want him to be in such a good state, haha."
