Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 223 Is this guy specializing in poaching other people's star players?

   "Oh? Do you have any plans?"

  Rummenigge looked at Hoeness with a serious expression, but was secretly happy that someone could finally kill Hoeness’s majesty.

   FC Bayern Munich was restructured in 2002 to form Bayern Munich AG. The company's board of directors is responsible for leading the daily affairs of the club, and the supervisory board is responsible for supervision.

   The eldest of the original Bayern Munich Big Three stepped back to serve as chairman of the supervisory board, while Rummenigge served as the club's chairman of the board of directors, and the original general manager Hoeness served as the vice chairman of the board in charge of athletic affairs.

   In the era of the Big Three, with Beckenbauer in charge, Rummenigge and Hoeness as his right-hand men, the three of them cooperated perfectly, bringing Bayern Munich into a well-deserved overlord of the Bundesliga.

   But when Beckenbauer stepped back, Bayern Munich, which entered the era of the two giants, no longer ran as smoothly as before.

  Rummenigge, who is the chairman of the club's board of directors, does not have the actual power as his deputy Hoeness. It would be a lie to say that Rummenigge has no idea in his heart.

   Therefore, the wrestling under the table has always been looming.

   It's just that Rummenigge and Hoeness have been partners for many years, and there is still room in each other's hearts, and they have not torn their faces.

   But it is undeniable that this situation has more or less affected the normal operation of Bayern Munich.

   There is a saying: "There are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames."

   Bayern Munich's nickname "Football Hollywood" is not for nothing.

   "Didn't Crystal Palace stole this kid named Kroos from us? Then let's dig their players too."

   "Last year we went to dig Tony, but it didn't work. Crystal Palace won an amazing triple crown this year, which shows that their players are very good. We can choose carefully, just buy it to strengthen our Bayern Munich's strength."

  Hoeness told Rummenigge his wishful thinking, his eyes gleaming. He has always been the only one to **** other players, and no one has dared to **** someone from him. This time, we must give that Crystal Palace some color.

   "Yes. You should carefully study who to buy, make a list, and then we will discuss it at a meeting."

   "Don't be so troublesome. Carl, I've already thought about it, and I'll notify you as soon as there is a result."

   ".Well, then I'll wait for your good news."

  Italy, AC Milan club.

The club's vice-president and general manager Galliani frowned. It's okay to worry about the Italian phone door. As a result, there is now a Crystal Palace, and he actually wants to take away AC Milan's mainstay Kaka. It's a leak. Every night rain.

   Although emotionally speaking, Galliani would not agree to sell Kaka 100%.

   But after meeting the little fat man Louis, Galliani, who calmed down, had to admit intellectually that the situation that the nasty little fat man from Crystal Palace said was not impossible.

   In case AC Milan is punished and relegated, it is estimated that more than half of the big stars in the team will go, especially young stars like Kaka, who will definitely not be willing to follow the team to play Serie B.

   It is better to sell a good price while the telephone door incident is still inconclusive than to be frantically lowered the price.

   Thinking of this, Galliani decided to meet the boss Berlusconi.

  If Berlusconi is willing to re-invest in AC Milan, then there is no need to rush to sell Kaka.

   Just use this incident to test the boss's attitude again to see if Berlusconi is really like what he said, AC Milan must be able to take care of its own profits and losses, and don't expect him to continue to invest money.

   After making up his mind, Galliani came to Berlusconi's house.

   "Adriano, is there something wrong with the club?"

   Berlusconi had to go out, but Galliani called him to cancel the trip and wait for him at home.

  As close assistants in football affairs, the relationship between Galliani and Berlusconi has gone far beyond simple superiors. Over the years, the two have become real old friends.

   "Yes, Silvio, I have received an offer from England. Crystal Palace wants to introduce Kaka."

   "Crystal Palace? Is that the team that just won the Champions League this season?"

   "Yes, not only the Champions League, but they also won the Premier League this season and the FA Cup. It is the second English club to win the treble after Manchester United."

   "It seems that this Crystal Palace has a lot of ambitions."

   Now Berlusconi's mind is no longer on football. He has devoted all his energy to politics and is competing with Prodi for the next Italian Prime Minister.

   "Silvio, I want to ask your opinion?"

   "My opinion? What? Are you really planning to sell Kaka?"

   Berlusconi gave Galliani a different look. This is not the way his old subordinate works.

"The main reason is that I don't know the extent of the punishment imposed on the AC club by this phone call incident. Will it be downgraded? If it is really downgraded, it would be better to sell it at a good price now than to be frantically lowered the price. "

   It turned out that this guy was here to inquire about the news. Hearing Galliani's words, Berlusconi immediately understood the purpose of Galliani's visit today.

   "Adriano, if it were before, the so-called telephone door incident would not have a big impact on our AC Milan club."

"But right now I'm running for the next prime minister with Prodi of the Democratic Party. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me, hoping to find a flaw in me that can be attacked. Therefore, it is inconvenient for me to come forward on this matter now. Understand?"

   Galliani is his own man who has served for many years, and Berlusconi did not detour and directly pointed out his difficulties.

   "I see, that is to say, the penalty of relegation against our AC Milan club cannot be ruled out."

Hearing Berlusconi's straightforward answer, Galliani's heart sank. He knew that in Berlusconi's huge four major career territories spanning politics, business, entertainment, and sports, AC Milan is important Sex is actually very backward.

   When there are other problems, it is normal to be left behind to protect the car. It's just that when the AC Milan club was abandoned, Galliani, who was the actual manager, had a hard time accepting it.

   "It's possible. Adriano, as you know, I have quite a few enemies in Italian politics. These **** are all waiting to see my jokes, and maybe someone will get caught."

   "Then I promise to sell Kaka to Crystal Palace Club?"

   Galliani is a little unwilling to give up, and wants to use the Kaka thing to test Berlusconi.

   "It's up to you to decide. Don't worry, I will try my best not to let the team be punished and relegated."

   "However, you have to be mentally prepared, even if you keep our AC Milan club's Serie A qualification in the end. I may not invest any more money in the team in the future. You have to be prepared to take care of your own profits and losses."

After    reminded Galliani again to make AC Milan self-financing, Berlusconi left in a hurry.

   He has so many things to do right now that he really can’t take care of AC Milan.

   When Galliani walked out of Berlusconi's house, his heart was cold, and it seemed that he would really have a tight life in the future.

  London, Chen Ran, who hurried back from Germany, met Raiola who had been waiting for him for two days.

   "Mr. Raiola, nice to see you again."

   Chen Ran was in a very good mood when he saw this big fat man who looked quite happy.

   Because, Raiola took the initiative to come to London to see him this time, which means that Ibrahimovic's transfer to Crystal Palace is closely related.

   "Mr. Chen, you can just call me Mino, all my friends call me that."

   Seeing Chen Ran again, Raiola's mood was completely different from before.

   This time, Chen Ran's words and deeds seemed to be covered with a layer of mystery.

   "Well, Mino, this time you came to London, you must have brought me good news, right?"

   "Yes, Mr. Chen, Zlatan has decided to join Crystal Palace Club. So I came to London this time to confirm Zlatan's personal contract."

   "Understood. But Luis is going to Milan now, so I will let Stephen, the CEO of Crystal Palace Club, take over the specific contract negotiations. You have no problem here, right?"

   "Of course there is no problem. However, Mr. Chen, if I take the liberty, can I ask what Luis is doing in Milan? Of course, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

   Hearing Chen Ran say that the little fat man went to Milan, Raiola was immediately aroused curiosity. Could it be that Ibrahimovic is not the only target that Crystal Palace is interested in?

   "Zlatan is about to join the Crystal Palace Club, Mino, you are about to become your own, I can tell you this news, but you need to keep it a secret for now."

  Chen Ran pretended to ponder for a while, posing as if he trusted Raiola very much.

   "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will never tell anyone."

  Raiola hurriedly swore and swore that he was an honest and reliable little man.

   "Well, I still believe what you said, Mino. The matter of Luis going to Milan is actually very simple. He just hopes to introduce their midfielder Kaka from AC Milan."

   "Goodu."

  Raiola couldn't help swallowing.

   Good guy, is this Chen Ran specializing in poaching other people's leading players?

   Ibrahimovic is now the core player of Juventus, needless to say.

  Kaka is the only young star in the aging AC Milan club.

   And as an offensive midfielder, Kaka's breakthrough, extraordinary, proficient in shooting and passing, he has to be physically and technically, he needs to have speed and speed, and he is still young, it is simply perfect.

   "Mr. Chen, with all due respect, AC Milan club probably won't sell Kaka."

   "Oh, maybe. But like Zlatan, we have been in contact with Kaka since last year. This time, with the consent of Kaka himself, I sent Luis to make an offer to AC Milan."

  Chen Ran responded to Raiola lightly, as if what he was talking about was just a trivial matter.

   "Goodu."

Raiola swallowed again, my good fellow, this Chen Ran was laid out a year ahead of schedule. It turns out that his goal is not only Zlatan, but also Kaka. He wants to dig all the mainstays of the two major Italian giants. go.

   At this moment, looking at Chen Ran who was so peaceful and smiling all over his face, Raiola felt a cold breath coming from the back of his neck.

   "It turns out that Mr. Chen is really far-sighted."

   "Haha, Mino, you are too good, I just prepared a little more than others. In the next negotiation, I also hope that Mino will not speak up."

   said, Chen Ran stared into Raiola's eyes with a smile.

   "Goodu."

  Raiola was seen by Chen Ran and swallowed again, "I will definitely, definitely, I will never ask for random prices. You can rest assured, Mr. Chen."

   "That's good, I hope we can reach an agreement as soon as possible. I also want Luis, who is now in Italy, to handle Zlatan's transfer together."

   Looking at Raiola, whose forehead was sweating, Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction.

   His previous coaxing and frightening finally achieved what he wanted.

  It was also in London, but there was a panic in the Chelsea club.

  Because of the rumors all over the club, the manager Mourinho is about to be sacked.

   Mourinho, who is the party concerned, is now hiding in his own home to drink to relieve his worries, waiting for the notice of his dismissal.

   Again, it's not that Mourinho is greedy for the Chelsea manager's seat, but that he can't accept himself leaving as a loser.

   "Ding dong, ding dong"

   The doorbell kept ringing, but Mourinho, who was sitting in the living room, didn't even mean to get up and open the door.

   "José, didn't you hear the doorbell?"

   Mourinho's wife, Martid Faria, ran out of the house in dissatisfaction and opened the door.

  Because the performance of coaching in the past two years is not very good, Mourinho's temper is getting worse and worse. After driving away several servants, Martid Faria simply stopped hiring people.

   "Ah, it's Jorge, long time no see, you haven't come to our house for a while."

   "Hehe, hello, Martide. The previous season was not over, and it was Jose's busiest time, so I didn't bother. This is a gift for the children, I hope they will like it."

   "Thank you, Jorge, the kids will be delighted."

  Martide Faria knew that Mendes was coming, and there must be something to talk to Mourinho. So after taking the kids and saying hi to Mendes, the space was left to two men.
