"The 3-0 defeat to Leon's Inter Milan 'second team' caused strong dissatisfaction among Juventus fans. A few days ago, Juventus fans gathered outside the Vinovo training base to express their dissatisfaction with the team's record.
Dissatisfied, and at the same time protesting against the team's inaction in recruiting..." The sports news on Italian national TV was broadcasting what happened in the morning of Italian local time.
It can be seen that about two hundred Juventus fans gathered outside the Vinovo training base. They held up banners and wrote words about their dissatisfaction with Juventus' experience with Marotta, expressing their dissatisfaction with Juventus's poor recruitment.
mood.
Li Ang took a sip of tea, glanced at the TV, and whistled, with a look of gloating on his face. He wished that Juventus would be even more miserable. Watching his opponents feel uncomfortable was one of the great pleasures in life.
However, Li Ang obviously did not expect that the chaos at Juventus would spread to his Inter Milan and cause a series of chain reactions in the final stage of the transfer market this winter.
***********
At the Vinovo training base, Juventus club executives are holding a closed-door consultation meeting.
The topic of the meeting was about winter signings. It is less than a week before the winter transfer window closes. If Juventus still wants to improve the team's strength through signings, it must hurry up.
Ranieri suggested that the team should target Liverpool's Mali midfielder Mohamed Sissoko.
In fact, as early as the summer of 2007, Sissoko was Ranieri's favorite candidate. The two had worked together in Valencia in the 2004/2005 season. At that time, Ranieri regarded Sissoko as "the new Vieira".
"Pull". The Juventus coach said helplessly in an interview on December 11 last year, "At first we wanted to buy Sissoko, but Liverpool's offer was as high as 34 million euros. We didn't have that much money, so we had to buy Thiago...
…”
Today, Sissoko, who barely gets playing time, has been reduced to a substitute for Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano. His relationship with Liverpool coach Benitez is deteriorating day by day. The Champions League away game against Marseille
In the last round of the group stage, Sissoko angrily expressed his determination to leave after being missed from the squad, "I'm really going crazy. The game is in France, and my whole family is there to see me play! I respect that.
Benitez's choice, but we have to have a good talk in January. For a long time, I have been asking myself whether to leave. I can't stay in a team where I start only once in five games."
In Ranieri's view, Mohamed Sissoko has completely broken up with Liverpool, and now is the best time for Juventus to introduce Mohamed Sissoko. He has an impression of the Mali midfielder he has worked with.
very good.
***********
Juventus club manager Gianluca Pesotto sat on a chair, leaning back to make himself as comfortable as possible. He was listening to what Ranieri was saying. However, Pesotto did not speak immediately.
It's like thinking deeply.
This man, who is respected by Juventus fans as "the Juventus man who died once," now has great pressure on his shoulders.
In 2006, Juventus was deprived of the Serie A championship due to the "Calciopoli" incident and was ordered to be relegated to Serie B. Shortly afterwards, shocking news came out of the team that Juventus manager Pessso, who had made many achievements with the team,
Tuo committed suicide by jumping off a building on June 27, when the Italian national team was still participating in the World Cup in Germany. Fortunately, he was eventually rescued after falling from the Juventus club headquarters building. After that incident, Pessso
After Tuo recovered, he was appointed as the manager of Juventus.
This is a Juventus man who is deeply loved by Juventus fans. However, respect and love cannot be eaten as food. Juventus's poor record and poor recruitment have aroused the anger of the fans, and Pessotto is also under great pressure.
.
"Mohammed Sissoko can be in contact with Liverpool first as an alternative." Gianluca Pessotto said, "I have decided that our first target is Marchisio! That is the child of Juventus.
, we need to bring him back to Vinovo!"
Ranieri showed a surprised expression. Previously, Juventus wanted to buy Marchisio, but Li Ang and Inter Milan rejected it. There was no room for negotiation. In that case, they had given up on bringing in Marchisio. How could this happen?
The plan that had been put on hold was brought out again?!
"But..." Ranieri wanted to persuade Pessotto and tell him not to waste time on Marchisio. Inter Milan cannot let Marchisio leave. Now that time is precious, it is better to be pragmatic and move forward.
The focus of signings is on Mohamed Sissoko.
"That's it!" said Pessotto.
Ranieri was stunned for a moment, and he understood that this was still the aftermath of the Italian Cup match with Inter Milan. Marchisio's two goals stimulated Pesotto and the top management of the Juventus club.
Ranieri could only nod helplessly in the end. When it comes to player recruitment, he only has the right to make suggestions, not decisions. From this, we can also see how much power Li Ang has in Inter Milan, the kind of person who controls the team's recruitment.
The huge power is enough to make most coaches around the world envious.
"Bringing Marchisio back to the Alpi Stadium is a midfielder that the team needs at a competitive level. It can greatly improve our midfield strength. In addition, it will also alleviate the dissatisfaction of the fans.
This is our own player from Juventus, and now that he returns home, it means a lot," Gianluca Pesotto said.
"Of course!" Ranieri said. Although the Mohamed Sissoko he requested was put on the back burner, if Marchisio can really be introduced, Ranieri would also be happy to see it happen.
***********
In the twentieth round of the 2007/2008 Serie A season, the day before Inter Milan's away game against Udinese, Li Ang was surprised to find that a fax from Juventus seeking to purchase Marchisio "appeared" on his desk again.
"Didn't you reject it already? Why are you here again?" Li Ang asked his assistant Mihajlovic. After Mihajlovic retired, he obtained a coaching license and then joined Li Ang's coaching staff and became his
Assistant. Later, Mikhailovich once said that the days of working beside Li Ang were of great help to him, and he would always be grateful to Li Ang for his guidance and teachings.
These documents and faxes were sorted by Mikhailovich in advance and placed on Leon's desk.
"The fax I received this morning." Mikhailovich shrugged, meaning that he didn't know what the Juventus people were thinking.
Li Ang was about to throw away the fax, but Mikhailovich dissuaded him and said, "Sir, I think you should take a look at the quoted price on that fax."
Li Ang took back the fax that was about to be thrown into the trash can, glanced at the price, and showed a shocked expression.
PS: The previous chapter mentioned that the manager of Juventus is Marotta, but the author made a mistake. In 2008, the manager of Juventus was Pesoto, and Marotta only became the manager of Juventus in 2011.
