When Dick came to the pointing place, Moratti had been waiting for about ten minutes.
The agreed location was a very remote coffee shop on a small road in Milan. This place was chosen because this coffee shop is a small private property of Moratti and is sufficiently confidential.
"Sorry, Mr. Moratti, it took me some time to get rid of those reporters." Dick said to Moratti with a smile.
Moratti laughed. The face of this famous second generation founder and prodigal son of European football looked very kind. Dick knew that he was not a good chairman, but he did not deny that to a large extent, Moratti
He is a good person, which is why many people are happy to deal with him.
"I understand... After all, it's not a good thing if too many people know about our private meeting... By the way, what would you like to drink? I also have some fine coffee that I have collected here."
"It's too late. I don't want coffee. Just give me a glass of mineral water." Dick waved his hand and sat down in front of Moratti.
"Well, I haven't congratulated you on winning today's game." Moratti said with a smile after the waiter brought what they wanted.
"I'm lucky today." Dick took a sip of water and said nonchalantly.
"That's it...I won't beat around the bush." Moratti said in a deep voice: "Mr. Dick, my team lost the game in the Champions League yesterday, and the situation in the league is not good, so
...I would like to invite you to coach my team."
Dick turned the cup in his hand: "Mr. Moratti, I am now the head coach of Dortmund... Well, I won't beat around the bush. Let me tell you this way, I must succeed in coaching Dortmund this season.
, because if I win the league championship again this season, I can get a bonus of close to 40 million euros."
"What?" Even if Moratti is famous in European football for spending money, he was shocked when he heard this figure. Can Dick get so much money in Dortmund? Where did Dortmund get so much money for him?
Originally, Moratti wanted to be rich and powerful and tell Dick that no matter how much you get in Dortmund, I will give you twice as much. But now after hearing this, even he was frightened...
"Well, it's like this. I have an agreement with Dortmund. If we win the league championship, I will share half of the proceeds from the transfer market... This summer, Dortmund made more than 80 million in the transfer market.
Woolen cloth."
"So that's it." Moratti breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly understood the truth. This does not mean that you can get it by selling players at will. You have to win the league championship to get this bonus. This is also
Dick's own thing.
"That's true, so I have to end this season coaching in Dortmund." Dick said frankly: "I need money, a lot of money, so I won't let go of this income. In this case, I will
It's impossible to coach your team."
"If it doesn't work in winter... what about summer? I also know that it may not be easy to maintain such profits for a long time." Moratti seized this opportunity.
"That's right, I may only stay in Dortmund for this season, but summer is still far away..." Dick laughed.
"With your current reputation, even if it is far away, there will be many clubs that want you to coach." Moratti shook his head: "Maybe I can't afford so much money, but I will give you a job that is better than other clubs."
Any head coach’s contract.”
"Can we talk about it then?" Dick said helplessly.
"Sorry, Mr. Dick, you have to know that preparation for a season starts very early... If we are not sure that you will definitely coach our club, we can only make preparations to invite other head coaches...
...Because this is related to the team's team building ideas and a series of things, we hope to make it early." Moratti also said sincerely: "We can only make the decision if you agree to coach my team in the summer.
What should I do next?”
Having said this, Moratti sighed: "I have been waiting for a long time, and I don't want to wait too long..."
"We can discuss salary and other things, but one thing I need to make sure is how much power I have." Dick thought for a while and then asked: "You know that in Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, I am in charge of the entire team.
Yes, even the chairman cannot interfere with my transfer. I must ensure this, because this is the key to my ability to win the championship. Only by building the team according to my ideas can it work."
"I already know this." Moratti nodded: "In Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, you have absolute power over building the team, which is why you have won so many championships... I can do this with this kind of power
Here, as long as it can bring you a championship, I can agree to any request."
At this point, Moratti smiled bitterly: "For the sake of the championship, I even let Ronaldo go and chose Cooper... It's a pity that he disappointed me, Di, I believe you will not let me down, you are
Someone who can win a championship!"
"I can win the championship." Dick nodded: "Mr. Moratti, if you can really agree that I have such power and write this into the contract, then I agree to choose to coach in the summer.
Inter Milan.”
Unexpectedly, Dick agreed to his invitation so readily, which made Moratti surprised: "Really?"
"Of course, what I said always counts." Dick nodded: "But there is no time now, we can discuss the details of the contract... But it will have to wait until I return to Dortmund and talk to Dortmund's
The management needs to explain, other details may need to be discussed better."
"Dortmund? Will they allow you to leave?" Moratti asked.
"They told me this summer that if I wanted to leave, they wouldn't stop me." Dick laughed: "They promised. Besides, I told them in advance that I was leaving, and they were able to prepare my replacement in advance.
, isn’t it?”
Moratti nodded. This is very important. If you prepare in advance, you will naturally be better prepared.
"Also, I want to tell you about my personality in advance. If we have some understanding of each other, we can cooperate better." Dick added quickly.
"Tell me." Moratti continued to nod. He also wanted to hear how Dick cooperated with the previous management.
"I need to know in advance how much transfer fee I can provide in the summer, because this will allow me to prepare better. I need to prepare in advance who to sell and who to buy. Others cannot interfere. I am also responsible for signings.
The club only needs to contribute money... Everything about the team must be listened to by me, including infrastructure and other places. It needs to be the best. If the funds are not enough, I can save it from the transfer fee. In short,
I can do anything, but I have to do everything!"
Dick's words were quite arbitrary, which made Moratti, who was used to meddling in the club, a little uncomfortable. He hesitated and said: "Are you responsible for selling any players? You know, there are many meritorious deeds in our team.
Player’s…”
"Mr. Moratti, you can't win the championship just by relying on meritorious players... I know that you have always loved the players, but I don't want that when I don't use a certain player, he will come to you and cry a few words and you will let me go."
Come and use him... If this happens, my work will not be carried out."
Hearing Dick say this, Moratti's face turned slightly red. He did do this kind of thing often. In the club, he had quite a few godsons...
If it were the beginning, I am afraid Moratti would not have made such a concession, but eight years have passed since he took over the team in 1995. He has not won a league championship and has spent so much money.
What effect did it have? This also forced him to start to examine his behavior. Historically, after a month or two, he resigned from the position of president of Inter Milan and secluded himself behind the scenes, letting Facchetti manage the club's affairs. It was precisely because of this
This kind of consideration and examination is actually due to Facchetti's stable and rational approach, which laid an excellent foundation for Inter Milan. This laid an extremely solid foundation for the rise of Inter Milan after Calciopoli!
What's more important is that he is almost out of money now. His brother is very annoyed with the things he has invested all year round and will not let him spend the family's money anymore, so Moratti has to be more rational. In the next few years, Inter Milan
The large investment began to decrease, but the results began to improve. I have to say that a rational chairman will be more helpful to the club.
"Okay, I agree with your request. These can be written into the contract." Moratti finally nodded. He just wants a championship now, not a UEFA Cup championship, but a league championship! Champions Cup
champion!
"But there is something I have to tell you..." Moratti said to Dick: "We have already negotiated with Lazio's Stankovic. He will join Inter Milan in the winter. Doesn't this count as our intervention?
"
Dick laughed: "Of course not... Mr. Moratti, I am not a tyrant... I also like Stankovic as a player, but if I really want to coach Inter Milan in the summer, other signings
They have to stop it. For example, Adriano, don’t take him back in the winter. Let him play in Parma for another half a year. If I coach Inter Milan, this young man will be an important candidate for me.”
Moratti nodded: "I understand, this is just an idea of ours, we just have to stop it now."
"If this is the case, then there is no need to rush to change the head coach... Let Mr. Cooper finish this season. Although he did not win any championships, it also gave Inter Milan a rare opportunity to be stable for a few years.
, I hope to be able to accept a more stable team, rather than a team that changes coaches continuously and causes people's hearts to fluctuate."
"Now that you have been confirmed, of course we will not change to another head coach." Moratti smiled, and then extended his hand to Dick: "I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."
Dick also held Moratti's hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate. After La Liga and Bundesliga, I also hope to create some achievements in Italy... A team with a long history like Inter Milan wants to create a
A new situation is a huge challenge! I hope I can surpass Mr. Herrera, and I also hope you can achieve the same achievements as your father!"
Moratti smiled happily. This was his personal goal, so he invested in Inter Milan without hesitation. Many things that happened before disappointed him, but now, he feels that he has seen the light! Because Dick agreed
