Chapter 7 Pirlo? Forward?
Shit! Antonioni, aren’t you awesome? ! Where on earth did you dig up Pirlo, who is still a minor? Zhuang Ge looked at the image of Mr. Florence, the general manager, staring at him with red eyes and panting like a cow.
"You said that little guy named Andrea Pirlo was a striker?" Zhuang Ge asked in disbelief. After all, in his impression, when Pirlo first debuted, his position was the front waist, and later he moved to AC Milan. Because the front waist position could not be shaken by the Portuguese artist Rui Costa, Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti was forced to move Pirlo back, which created the "most elegant back waist after Lei Dongduo" in the later generations.
"That’s right, Antonio. Come and look at this video. I’m sure you will be fascinated by this little guy, too." antonioni said, simply pulling Zhuang Ge and running to a screening room, stuffing the video into the machine and hitting the projector.
Soon Zhuang Ge appeared on the big screen.
"This is the match between Florence and Brescia?" Zhuang Ge recognized both sides of the game by distinguishing the colors of the jerseys.
"To be exact, this is the match between Brescia Youth Team and Florence Youth Team," added antonioni.
According to the regulations of the Italian professional league, the schedule of the youth league is completely consistent with the arrangement of the first team, so this game is actually the first team game in Florence at the same time.
"Pirlo plays for the Brescia youth team?" Zhuang Ge knew that Pirlo had found his confidence and inspiration in playing football in Brescia, but he didn’t know that Pirlo was born in Brescia, otherwise he would never let go of this talented player.
"Yes … you see! That’s the guy wearing the No.10 jersey! " Antonioni grabbed Zhuang Ge’s shoulder and made Zhuang Ge wonder if his shoulder blades were pinched by the other side.
Brescia is a "elevator" team that fights for relegation all the year round, and its youth team strength is also far behind that of Florence youth team; Not to mention that in Zhuang Ge’s management, the Florence youth team can be said to be full of talents from Juventus. Tachinadi, de Sang Ke Di, perrotta and the youth team originally had C Zati. Therefore, against the Brescia youth team, except goalkeeper de Sang Ke Di, there was almost no chance to show it, and other young people in Florence dominated the 9-minute game.
However, Zhuang Ge’s attention will naturally not be in suspense, and he can easily take the game. He noted that antonioni recommended the Brescia striker who wore the No.10 jersey. His unremitting running and ball organization revitalized Brescia’s attack. During the game, the entire Brescia youth team was running in the Pirlo center. He retreated slightly from the striker position, not only organized the attack, but also was creative, and he was able to seize only a few opportunities in front of the door to grab a shot. It’s a pity that Pirlo’s teammates can’t understand Pirlo’s general idea of genius by relying on his rich imagination and superb football skills, and he has mastered several good goals on the court, which is also an important reason why De Sang Ke Tis is so idle in the game.
Of course, Pirlo was also the only highlight of the home team Brescia in the whole game.
This is Andrea Pirlo-an elegant and spiritual little player, although he is not yet 16 years old at this time.
"Antonio, did you see it? This kind of genius is generally spiritual, but I saw it for the first time in an Italian player! "
"Okay, okay, I see Giancarlo. Let go first, okay? My shoulder is almost crushed by you …"
In Zhuang Ge’s memory, Pirlo really belongs to the kind of talented player with excellent ball sense, but he does not belong to the kind of football genius who came out of the slums like Pele and Diego Maradona. Pirlo accepted the theory and practice from childhood, and became famous as a young man. He has both the footwork of South American players and the tactical awareness of European players.
Pirlo is born with an elegant leadership temperament. In this popular "instant" artistic football country, players like Pirlo who can maintain the artistic football atmosphere for a long time are even more precious. Of course, in Zhuang Ge’s memory, players like Pirlo, such as Roberto Baggio, albertini and later Moyo, can’t face the setbacks and obstacles in their careers calmly.
Zhuang Ge vaguely remembers that when Pirlo became famous in Brescia, Moratti, who was rich, immediately signed him up. At that time, Inter Milan coach Simone pulled Pirlo out and gave him many opportunities to play. However, with Simone’s class and Inter Milan’s attacking informant full of troubles, Pirlo was able to step on the loan road.
Later, when Reggina performed well, Pirlo returned to Milan just in time for the most turbulent period of Inter Milan. The unstable team environment gave Pirlo enough exercise opportunities, and this talented player was almost destroyed by Inter Milan.
If it wasn’t for Roberto Baggio’s help in Brescia and Carlo Ancelotti’s bold move to AC Milan and Pirlo’s repeated setbacks in his early career, I really didn’t know that he would be able to see his future.
"how about it? Should I sign it? " Antonioni looked at Zhuang Ge with an expectant expression. There was nothing that could be done. The Florence transfer worker finally decided to be in the hands of Zhuang Singer.
Generally speaking, young players will not be asked to introduce Zhuang Ge. As early as a reorganization of the club, he gave this part of his strength to antonioni. However, in antonioni’s view, it will definitely cost a lot to let Brescia release Florence. In this case, it is best to get the consent of the boss first.
"Well, I agree!" Zhuang Ge pretended to think for a while and then made a decision to pay for the transfer that he thought was "a big profit"
After three years of neglect in Inter Milan, Pirlo can achieve that. If we dig Pirlo to Florence now, let crippa teach him how to defend better, let effenberg teach him how to coordinate, run, find opportunities, let djorkaeff hone his skills and let batistuta teach him shooting skills … So what kind of height will such a "strengthened" Pirlo grow to?
Zhuang Ge is looking forward to the day when Pirlo, a young fruit, finally matures.
Chapter Pirlo Cultivation Plan ()
As antonioni is also responsible for buying Dinamo Zagreb workers kenyon and Poirot, and many workers are waiting for them to deal with them, Zhuang Ge, the only "idle man" of the club, has to go to Brescia to discuss the transfer of Pirlo with the other boss himself.
"Andrea (Pirlo) is our future in Brescia, and we will not sell him." When Zhuang Ge asked Luigi Corioni, the boss of Brescia, about the price of Pirlo, the boss looked righteous.
Who are you kidding? Brescia was demoted immediately after Baggio retired, wasn’t it because you sold a lot of main players? Why didn’t you say these players were the future of Brescia at that time? Zhuang Ge secretly despised this sanctimonious chairman Corioni in his heart.
However, it is only natural that this will happen. It is the normal process for transfer workers to ask for money on the spot when both sides are not in a hurry.
"Because of the friendship between our two clubs, I am willing to exchange half of Derek Giunti’s first team for Pirlo. After the deal is reached, Giunti can play in Brescia." Zhuang Ge smiled and gave his own offer
"No, no, Andre’s value is well known to you and me. Although his potential has not yet been fully explored, it is by no means half of Giunti’s." Corioni naturally did not raise the price by being a stupid horse. "Derek Giunti added 20,000 dollars."
"It’s impossible. Although Giunti is a substitute for Fiorentina’s first team, Gazzetta dello Sport estimates that he has $70,000 and $270,000 to buy a player under 16? If this news is published, Italian football players will think I am stupid. "After living in Italy for more than a year, Zhuang Ge now knows the transfer market price very well." It’s fair for me to exchange all of Giunti’s shares for Pirlo. Brescia can get a fight to enhance our strength. We are all happy to get Pirlo. "
"I think so …"
……
After an afternoon of negotiations, although Brescia boss Corioni was very optimistic about Pirlo’s future, he finally agreed to Zhuang Ge’s offer. After all, he was not strong in the face of Zhuang Ge’s favorable conditions, and he couldn’t think of any reason to refuse.
Zhuang Ge’s final offer is owned by Derek Giunti’s department, and Giuliano Grazioli will be loaned to Brescia until the end of the season. At the same time, Zhuang Ge promised that Florence would give priority to renting its own players to Brescia under the same conditions. For a team like Brescia who has been fighting for years, it is very helpful for the club to rent some powerful players from a team like Florence.
When Pirlo heard that he was going to play in Florence with Zhuang Ge, it was hard to hide his excitement, but to Zhuang Ge’s surprise, Pirlo, who was not yet 16 years old, showed his psychological adjustment ability. The young player quickly calmed down from his excitement.
"Mr. President, I thank Florence for appreciating me," Pirlo said with a straight face. "But I still want to know how the team positions me in the future, or just as a bench player? Or a rotation player? Or is it … "
"Andre, personally, I am very optimistic about your development. Our general manager said that you are very talented and can compete with Brazil Bailey." Zhuang Ge interrupted Pirlo, who was talking endlessly. He saw that Pirlo was a minor now. Although he was calm on the surface, he still had some doubts about the unknown future in Florence.
"What? ! Bailey? Is that the ball king Bailey? " Little Pirlo was completely shocked this time. He never thought that Florence would be so optimistic about himself and compare himself with the king of the ball.
Because Pirlo was too excited, Zhuang Ge had to signal the other side to calm down again.
"After coming to Florence, I hope you can ask your own team to find some special’ teachers’ to strengthen your training in all aspects, including technical skills, running position during the game, etc … Although I have never been a professional player, I think this intensive training process will be very boring and difficult. Andre, I ask you, can you receive this level of training?"
After listening to Zhuang Ge’s words, little Pirlo gritted his teeth and said, "No problem!"
"Andre welcomes you to Florence!" Zhuang Ge recognized Pirlo’s determination from the words and smiled and shook hands with him.
In Italy, the transfer procedure of youth players is relatively simple, and there is no time limit for young players under the age of 16 like Pirlo to sign a youth player contract.
In this way, Andrea Pirlo, once regarded as Baggio’s successor, quietly came to Florence, including Zhuang Ge, and no one realized that Pirlo would reach the same height in the future.
……
In Zhuang Ge’s mind, Pirlo plays an important role in the future Milan team. He is determined to find several "famous teachers" who can fully explore his football talent.
However, this process of finding famous teachers has made Zhuang Ge know what it means to know that it is easier said than done. In the difficult process of searching for famous teachers, he felt that his brain was not enough. Even though he is a loyal fan of CM and FM, he has no photographic memory.
The head coach of Florence youth team naturally doesn’t know what medicine is sold in his head gourd. After a trip to Brescia, the president brought him back a young striker under the age of 16.
This is Mr. Chairman going to the operation meeting himself! It should be said that Mr. Chairman attaches great importance to this young player, but it is this young president who pulled Florence from the quagmire of Serie B that makes the youth team coach a little puzzled. After saying to himself, "Give Andrea (Pirlo) a free training environment", he gave up the player named Pirlo and hid in the office with his beauty to make plans.
"Well, these people should be enough to be teachers of Pirlo." Zhuang Ge wiped a handful of sweat and looked at himself and Karin’s hard work in the past two days and said with some regrets.
"Tony, are you so optimistic about this young player?" Karin is puzzled. After all, there are many outstanding young people in Florence, but she has never seen Zhuang Ge’s heart for any player like Pirlo.
"Because Pirlo is a player, I can build him into a football superstar like Real Madrid Stifano, Manchester United Sir Charlton and Bayern beckenbauer!" Zhuang Ge said confidently
I have a dream that when the fans are together in Florence, they think not of antonioni’s sadness but of Batty’s loyalty and Pirlo’s elegance …
Chapter 9 Pirlo Cultivation Plan ()
In Zhuang Ge’s memory, Pirlo’s position on the court gradually changed from front to back, from front waist to back waist (now a striker is needed), which is difficult for ordinary players to complete, and it seems unreasonable to many coaches.
After all, strikers generally pay attention to the instantaneous wisdom of the court and the mobilization of their own energy. The front waist pays attention to the rational allocation of offensive resources, while the back waist needs to connect the two sets of offensive and defensive teams in the most effective way.
It can be said that the change of Pirlo’s body "position" is not a small miracle. In Zhuang Ge’s previous life, Pirlo’s achievements in the lower back aside, his talents in the forward and front back positions alone attracted several teams to compete for him. There is no doubt that Pirlo is an unconventional player, but this is precisely his biggest embarrassment at that time. Before his technical style was finalized, he did not find a sense of belonging.
At this time, Zhuang Ge is also facing this problem. How should he cultivate and shape the genius Pirlo?
Now the head coach of the Junior Youth Team is the way to fully tap Pirlo’s great potential. Even a genius like Diego Maradona needs the guidance of a famous teacher. Even if the luminous gold is covered up in the sand for a long time, it can be dim. But Pirlo doesn’t have much youth to waste.
Zhuang Ge finally felt that it was a little late to remember Pirlo’s "final success" for him, and maybe he should make greater achievements.
The specialty of Pirlo Stadium is his super observation and control. However, these abilities, which are very difficult to observe, were not discovered by people when Pirlo was young. On the contrary, his good dribbling skills, accurate shooting and outstanding speed attracted the attention of many teams.
Zhuang Ge believes that the first thing Pirlo should do now is to become a qualified leader player. This temperament needs to be found by a "teacher" to dig it out for him.
In order to cultivate Pirlo’s leadership temperament, the first "teacher" he invited was stefan effenberg, the main midfielder of Florence’s first team
Effenberg was chosen first because the German was in line with the technical style of Pirlo in later generations, and the most important point was that although the leader of Florence was batistuta now, effenberg was the first to rush to the referee to negotiate when there was an accident at the stadium. It can be said that Florence players with effenberg present never worried that their opponents would dare to be black-footed.
Effenberg, this is equivalent to Keane to Manchester United, Vieira to Arsenal. Which player is desperate and dares to stroke these two players’ beards? The most obvious example is that after Vieira left Arsenal, the frequency of injuries of Arsenal players in the game has greatly increased …
