Li Ang sat on the window seat with a smile on his face.
He thought that he told his parents at the dinner table two days ago that he already had a girlfriend, and told his elders everything about Alice.
His father, Li Guodong, was a little surprised. A father with some traditional ideas seemed a little dissatisfied with his son finding a foreign girlfriend.
However, Li Ang's mother was only happy. She didn't care whether her son was looking for a Chinese girlfriend or a foreigner, as long as she was her daughter-in-law.
After learning about Alice's life experience from Li Ang, my mother almost shed tears. The two siblings have been orphans since they were young. The older sister's health is not good, but she can still make money to support the family and bring up her younger brother. What's even more rare is that
, Although this girl was born in a slum, it is not easy for her to emerge from the mire without getting stained and not take the wrong path.
Li Ang's mother felt a little sorry for Alice, and she suddenly felt very fond of this girl she had never met before, and felt pity for her.
Even Li Guodong's attitude towards Alice has improved. Chinese medicine pays attention to the human heart and human nature. Li Guodong is like this. His son's girlfriend is perseverant, responsible, and has a good character, which is good.
Then, Li Ang's mother became even more concerned about Alice's condition, and gave an order to her husband to study Alice's case carefully and try to find the root cause of the poor girl's illness so that she could be treated and recovered as soon as possible.
Then, in the next two days, Li Ang was pestered by his mother. The mother always asked questions: How did you meet? How long have you been dating? Well, where are you?
Boy, don't be shy, tell mom...
The plane was already at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Li Ang looked at the white clouds outside the window, smiled and shook his head. These memories made him feel good, and his parents' attitude towards Alice made him very happy.
I believe that if Alice knew about his parents' attitude, the girl would be very happy, Li Ang thought with a smile.
Love that is blessed by elders is the happiest.
***********
Leon's flight was to Rome, the capital of Italy, and then transferred in Rome to Sicily, Italy.
The largest city in the northern Gulf of Sicily, Palermo, was his final destination.
Palermo, the capital of Sicily, Italy, is located in the northwest of Sicily. Sicily is located in the southwest of the Apennine Peninsula, on the Palermo Bay of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is the football on Italy's leather boot that stretches into the Mediterranean. It is the largest in the Mediterranean
The island is vast and fertile, with a warm climate and beautiful scenery. It is rich in citrus, lemon and olive oil. Due to its good natural environment for the development of agriculture and forestry, it was historically known as the "Golden Basin". Palermo's historic buildings are not as arrogant as the splendor.
Its appearance is characterized by the coexistence of Norman, Byzantine and French styles of buildings. Some buildings also have strong Arabic colors, such as columns and wall carvings. The Italian writer Dante praised this place as "the most beautiful place in the world".
"The most beautiful Muslim city". Famous attractions include Sicily and the cathedral in Palermo.
Of course, Li Ang is not here for tourism. He does not have time to wander around and enjoy life now. Sporting Gijon will officially start training in ten days. Li Ang needs to take advantage of these ten days to be busy everywhere and pay attention to the team.
The lineup is filled to fill gaps.
This time, Li Ang's target is the Palermo Club. To be precise, he is here to poach players.
Palermo Football Club was founded in 1900 as the Anglo-Panomitan Sporting and Football Club. The club changed its name several times before forming a certain size and becoming the top club in Sicily. In its history,
Palermo Football Club has participated in all levels of Italian professional leagues, and competed in the Italian Serie A from the 1960s to the early 1970s, during which time it was runner-up in the Italian Cup three times.
This team won the Italian Football League Serie B championship in the season that just ended, returning to Serie A after decades.
It can be said that this Palermo team is full of talents, and it is the cumulative eruption of Palermo's dormant Serie B league for many years.
This team has Luca Toni, Barzagli, Zaccardo, and Grosso, and they even have four Italian internationals.
Such a team is actually just a Spanish second division team. The latter is more precisely a team promoted to Serie A next season. It actually has so many Italian international players, which is enough to shock everyone.
Among them, high center Luca Toni is a late bloomer. This big center who has been unknown before suddenly broke out in Palermo this season. He scored 30 goals in Serie B and is the top scorer in Serie B. He is also the top scorer in Serie B.
The number one contributor to Palermo's return to Serie A.
Luca Toni's sudden outbreak has made many Serie A teams interested in this big center. Parma and Fiorentina are now observing the 27-year-old Palermo center.
Luca Toni's intimidation in the penalty area is amazing. Such a high forward would be a giant in La Liga. His advantage and intimidation in the penalty area will be a nightmare for many teams.
However, Li Ang knew that Luca Toni was not someone he could seduce. Palermo Chairman Zamparini regarded Toni as the treasure of Palermo and would not sell it easily unless it was an offer that Palermo could not refuse, but
, this is obviously something Li Ang and Sporting Gijon cannot do, they don’t have that much money.
Liang's goal is the three Italian fringe internationals in Palermo's defense cluster, Barzagli, Zaccardo, and Grosso.
To be precise, his target is Grosso at left back.
***********
After Jeffrey moved to Porto, Li Ang's biggest headache was the left-back position, which was ranked first in his reinforcement list.
As for the left-back position, Li Ang does not intend to poach those seventeen-year-old monsters this time. La Liga is cruel. If he dares to use a teenager who has never had top league experience in the full-back position,
The little guys will definitely be beaten to death by their opponents, and may even die miserably.
Therefore, Li Ang's plan is to bring in players who are in their prime and can be used.
However, the problem arises. Those players who are in their prime, who have some ability and are already famous, are not worth what Sporting Gijon can afford.
At this time, Li Ang was watching the replay of the European Cup at home. Hearing Huang Jianxiang's familiar voice, Li Ang's first reaction was why is this guy still on CCTV? Then he thought of the 'commentary door' that eventually led to Huang Jianxiang leaving CCTV.
It hadn't happened yet, it was during the 2006 World Cup.
Thinking of this later famous ‘interpretation gate’, the name of the great left back immediately popped into Liang’s mind: Fabio Grosso!
‘The Great Left Back’ Grosso!
Is Grosso a top full-back? If you look at this player's career, Grosso is not. His highlight moments were only those three to five years.
He made his fortune in Palermo in the 2003/2004 season, then became famous in the 2006 World Cup. In the summer of that year, he moved to Serie A giant Inter Milan and enjoyed great success. Then... In the two seasons after the World Cup, Grosso's form declined sharply.
Therefore, overall, Grosso is not a top full-back who can be reused for a long time.
However, that was after 2006. Li Ang does not need to think so far now. He only knows that the next two seasons will be Grosso's most glorious moment. If he can dig out this Italian left back, his own
Worry-free on the left!
It's great that the highlights of the two seasons of the great left-back have been dedicated to Sporting Gijon's great revival.
As for what to do after 2006? With his outstanding performance in the World Cup, if Grosso wants to make a move by then, he will definitely not worry about not having a wealthy family to buy him, and he will not worry about not being able to sell for a high price. Well, the worst thing is, isn't there anyone else who will take over?
Well, in Li Ang's heart, Grosso is Sporting Gijon's excess at the left back position. However, the past two years of overexertion are very critical. Grosso is a player that can almost be said to be tailor-made for Leon.
.
Of course, first of all, he has to be able to handle the transfer.
***********
Li Ang has analyzed that among the Italian internationals in Palermo, Palermo Chairman Zamparini values the most Luca Toni, then the central defender combination of Barzagli and Zaccardo, and finally Grotto
So.
Of course, this is not to say that Zamparini does not value Grosso, but it is a relative concept: Compared with several other people, Grosso is better poached.
You know, in 2006, Inter Milan bought the left-sided player before Grosso became famous in the World Cup. Although there was no bonus factor of becoming famous in the World Cup, considering Grosso's performance in 2004/2005 and
The highlight performance in Serie A and the UEFA Cup in the two seasons of 2005/2006 was actually sold for only 5.5 million euros, which also shows that Palermo Chairman Zamparini did not pay enough attention to Grosso.
5.5 million euros is the price after two seasons. Now, Grosso has only played well in the Spanish Second Division for a season. He was not taken seriously in Perugia before and his reputation has not yet risen. Therefore, Li Ang
Think you have a chance to buy at a low price...
So, he came to Palermo.
When Leon arrived in the capital of Sicily, a fax arrived from the office of Palermo Club President Zamparini.
A Spanish team called Sporting Gijon has put together a package to buy three players from Palermo.
Luca Toni, quoted 4 million euros!
Barzagli + Zaccardo, package price is 5 million euros.
After seeing this sudden quotation, Zamparini was stunned for a moment, Sporting Gijon? Where did this club come from? Of course, this is not important, what is important is our Toni, Zaccardo and Barza
Li, for these three Italian internationals, the former is the Serie B Golden Boot, but you only offer 4 million euros? There are also Zaccardo and Barzagli, the package price is only 5 million euros, the three players combined are less than one million euros.
Tens of millions of euros, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?!
Zamparini threw the quotation directly into the trash can.
However, two minutes later, Zamparini picked up the quotation from the trash can again, his eyes twinkling.
***********
Almost at the same time, Li Ang checked into a hotel in Palermo, took a short rest, and started working directly. He planned to contact the players directly. Although direct contact with the players was prohibited by UEFA, he later
Heavy fines will be imposed, but it is still only 2004, and the management of this aspect is still relatively chaotic. Moreover, the head coach directly contacts the players, which is almost an undisclosed secret in football.
If a monk can touch it, a Taoist priest can naturally touch it.
