Chapter Ten You Can Go If You Don't Want to Stay

There is no never-ending banquet in the world with iron-clad hard disks and flowing water. This sentence is also applicable on the football field. Today, we are still celebrating and holding the cup. We are thinking about making persistent efforts in the coming year and dominating the field. , Things like this are not uncommon in football circles.

Fiorentina's record last season was absolutely stellar, especially the young talents in the team made major European clubs jealous. At the end of last season, Fiorentina had received countless quotations. The players inside, from goalkeeper Frey to striker Digan, and even the substitute players have become the favorites in the eyes of others.

For this kind of thing, Degan has already made plans in his heart. Although he really wants to maintain the stability of the team, after all, it is not easy to build a mature and combative team, but Degan also knows , It is simply unrealistic to want to keep everyone.

So what Digan has to do is to ensure that the overall framework of the team remains unchanged. As for those who have moved their minds, they feel that this small temple in Florence can no longer let them go. Their ambitions are difficult to achieve in Florence, or they want to pursue higher goals. Degan naturally doesn't mind letting them go.

"In fact, I was surprised to be able to do this!"

Degan looked at the documents Prandelli handed him about the team's lineup for next season. To be honest, he was really overjoyed. Last summer, all the players he advocated to bring in were confirmed to stay on the team.

In fact, this is not surprising. Although the players introduced last summer had a perfect season, they are still very young after all. It is too early for them to go to the big clubs now.

And the atmosphere in the Fiorentina team is very good. Although the team background is not as good as the giants like AC Milan and Juventus, it is still a traditional force in Serie A.

Prandelli is another head coach who is good at recruiting young players. Even if they only use Fiorentina as a springboard to go to the giants, staying here is definitely the best choice for them at present.

Prandelli is also happy to be able to keep so many people. The main framework of the team is still there. Although Albertini's retirement has had some impact on the team, in fact, in the second half of last season, Albertini suffered from physical problems. The reason is that the team is no longer the absolute main force of the team. Now Ledesma, Thiago Motta, and even Donadell are all very capable players, who can completely replace Albertini's role.

"The main framework of the team is still there, and the players introduced last season have gradually matured after a season of accumulation. In the new season, we don't need to do major surgery on the team, at least we can supplement it! "

Digan nodded, and continued: "Did he really tell the club that he plans to leave?"

Prandelli was also a little depressed when he heard this: "His agent is spreading the word these days. I called him, but his attitude is also very ambiguous. It is said that Rome is very interested in him now, and I hope he can use He's coming to take Ferrari's place!"

The Fiorentina team is very quiet now, but unstable factors are indispensable, such as Gamberini.

Since Gamberini joined the team in 2005, he has always been a very important member of the team. Although he has never been in the absolute main position, he has a lot of opportunities to play.

At the beginning of last season, because of Thiago Silva's unstable performance, he even became the main force of the team, but in the second half of the season, especially after Degan's comeback, with Thiago Silva Va is familiar with the style of Italian football, coupled with the competition between Dainelli and Ujfaruhi, he gradually faded out of the team's main lineup, but he is also an important rotation player.

Last season, Gamberini played a total of 20 times and scored three goals. Such statistics are already very rare for a defensive player who is not the main force.

The performance is good, and Gamberini is naturally dissatisfied with his situation in the Fiorentina team. He told reporters in an interview before that he hopes to get a more stable chance to play.

For Gamberini's request, Prandelli also understands very well. After all, for a young player, especially a player who is in the rising period of his career, stable playing opportunities are very important.

In fact, in Prandelli's mind, Gamberini ranks third in the position of central defender, even higher than the team's current vice-captain Dainelli and Czech veteran Ujfa Rushi.

But Gamberini's request is more than that. In addition to a stable chance to play, he also hopes to get a higher salary.

"My contribution to the team is not less than others, but it is a pity that my current salary is completely out of proportion to my contribution. I hope that my efforts can be respected by others, especially by the club. I feel I am entitled to a higher annual salary."

Speaking of which, Gamberini's salary is not considered low in the Fiorentina team, at least in the mid-range level. The annual salary of 1.8 million euros is definitely high for a player of his age.

However, since Gamberini brought it up, Fiorentina's performance last season was also good, and they completed the goals set by the team before the start of the season. It is not impossible to raise Gamberini's salary.

However, the two million annual salary proposed by the Fiorentina Club was immediately rejected by Gamberini's agent on the grounds that this amount of money was not enough to support the family.

"He refused!?"

"It's his agent. I asked Gamberini about his attitude. He just said that he handed over the contract negotiation to his agent, but everyone knows that he wants more!" Prand When Li said these words, his tone was a little annoyed.

Not to blame Prandelli, after all, the team's main force, Thiago Silva, still has an annual salary of 1.5 million euros, but Gamberini, who is a rotation player, hopes to get more. unreasonable in itself.

"How much does he want?" Digan looked at Pakinwa.

Parkinwa sneered and said, "It's three and a half million, and his manager also hopes to increase his salary by 25% every year!"

"Damn it!" Degan cursed after hearing the words. Although he is only a player, these things are not his turn to worry about, but he hopes to be successful in Florence. To be successful, not only a group of Excellent players are enough, and this requires the club to maintain its competitiveness in all aspects. Of course, the most important thing is finances. Finances must be healthy. Degan doesn't want his side to lead the team to win the championship, but the club is now bankrupt.

At present, the first salary structure in the Fiorentina team is naturally Digan, with an annual salary of seven million euros, and the second is Frey, Ujfalusi, Kompany, Liverani, Ledesma, Mo Ta, Jorgensen, Mutu, the annual salary ranges from 2.5 million to 3 million euros, the third tier is Cavinaghi, Montolivo, Donadelle, Gamberini, Thiago Silva, with an annual salary of 1.5 million to 2.3 million euros, and the fourth tier is Abate, Macho, Hamsik and others, with an annual salary of about 1 million euros.

Except for Degan alone above other players, basically speaking, the salary structure in the Fiorentina team is very healthy. Now Gamberini wants to break this stability and get the second annual salary in the team second only to Degan. If you can agree, it will be called a strange thing.

Pakinwa watched Degan's face change for a while. He was very clear about his current role. Although he was the club's executive chairman, the team's transfer power was in the hands of Degan.

Moreover, Degan is very optimistic about Gamberini's potential. If Degan agrees to this condition in order to keep Gamberini, he will be the one who will be difficult to do.

Will Deagan agree?

of course not!

Although Degan is optimistic about Gamberini's potential, after all, in his previous life Gamberini was selected for the Italian national team because of his outstanding performance in Florence, but if he destroys the team's salary structure because of him alone, Digan Gan would not be so stupid.

After all, Gamberini is not enough for this qualification.

"I'll give him a call!"

Digan and Gamberini had a very good relationship. They often went to the bar together and dialed Gamberini's number, but after a long time, no one answered.

At the same time, Gamberini was nervously looking at his phone. He wanted to pick it up, but he didn't know what to say.

"Alejandro! There is nothing to be afraid of. Tell Digan what you really think. Do you mean that you plan to miss this opportunity?" Gamberini's agent is his brother-in-law Orlando, a mercenary Italian. But Gamberini had great confidence in him.

Gamberini frowned, and said with some distress: "But I don't know how to face Rhodes. I promised him that we would create a big scene together in Florence, but now~~~~~~"

Orlando smiled disdainfully: "What is a promise, Alejandro, don't be stupid! If he is really your friend, he should think about you. What is your current annual salary and what is his annual salary? Although I don't know the exact figure, it will definitely not be less than five million euros. You have also contributed a lot to Florence, but you can only get an annual salary of 1.8 million euros. Do you think this is fair? Miss Sensi has already promised me that as long as you transfer to Rome, you can get a big contract of three million euros, do you still need to hesitate?"

The Sensi that Orlando mentioned is Rosella Sensi, the daughter of Roma Club President Franco Sensi, a super Roma fan like his father.

When Franco Sensi was contemplating the acquisition plan, there were some voices of opposition within the family, so he decided to vote at the family meeting.

As a result, Sensi and his wife Ra voted for it, but their other two daughters, who had little interest in football, voted against it. Just when the two sides fell into a stalemate of 2 to 2, the eldest daughter Rosella Sensi cast a crucial vote in favor, and Roma also ushered in a new club president.

Although there used to be differences, but when Franco Sensi officially entered Rome, other members of the family still showed a concerted attitude.

The second daughter, Christina, is in charge of the marketing department of the club. The third daughter, Silvia, communicates with the media as a director of the club. The eldest daughter, Rosella, is the No. 2 person with real power in the club. A series of important affairs within.

Such a shrewd and capable management team, coupled with the capital injected by the Sensi family, has revitalized the Roma team. Since the Sensi family took over, the team's record has rebounded significantly, and a group of star players including Totti have emerged, becoming a force that cannot be ignored in the "Seven Sisters of Serie A".

Rosella Sensi graduated from the Faculty of Law of the University of Rome and started to get involved in club affairs a few years ago to help her father share the pressure. Although the position is very high, it is the old Sensi who really has the final say.

When Franco Sensi was old and unable to exercise the rights and responsibilities of the chairman, Rosella Sensi proved his unique leadership with actions and wisdom. The management team composed of team leader Tempestilli and others has repeatedly created miracles in the transfer market, and the image and influence of the Roma club are improving and improving year by year with their excellent record.

Among the investors of Serie A clubs, the Sensi family is not the richest, and its financial resources cannot be compared with the Agnelli family or Berlusconi, which to a certain extent prevents the club from challenging Juventus and AC Milan. However, the Sensi family also has its own countermeasures, which is to raise funds through the securities market.

As early as 1993, when the Club of Rome was acquired, the Sensi family began to prepare for the listing in advance, and specially registered a company called "Roma 2000" to control the equity of the club.

Coincidentally, the company got the opportunity to go public in 2000 and issued 13 million shares at a price of 5.5 euros per share. This strategy was proposed by Rosella Sensi.

Relying on the large amount of funds raised by the stock issuance, Roma made a full-scale attack on the transfer market in the summer of 2000, and successively introduced a number of outstanding players such as Batistuta, Samuel and Emerson. At the end of the 2000/2001 season, the team lived up to expectations and won the Serie A championship with a two-point lead over the second-placed Juventus. This is the third Serie A championship trophy in the history of the Roma team, and it has also become the most important for the entire Sensi family. Brilliant moment.

Roma's championship had an impact on the Serie A structure at that time. Prior to this, the center of Apennine football has always been the northern cities of Milan and Turin, where the Milan duo and Juventus take turns.

However, after Lazio won the Serie A championship in the 1999/2000 season, Roma in the same city continued to rule the roost in the following year, so that the southern team finally found a feeling of pride.

For Franco Sensi, who speaks with a southern accent, he also got the pleasure of teaching the "Yankees" a lesson.

The competitive Franco Sensi has never let go of any opportunity to compete with the Northern Consortium before. At an auction, he competed with members of the Agnelli family for bids, and finally bought a piece of real estate that his opponent had originally wanted to win at a high price, and a day later, he sold it for twice the original price. The property is sold back to the Agnelli family.

In the field of football, the Sensi family has never shown weakness. In 2001, in the process of vying for the Bari striker rookie Cassano, Roma once again overwhelmed Juventus and succeeded in bidding with a high price of 28.5 million euros, which created a record of 20 at the time. World record transfer fee for an under-year player.

This aggressive attitude has created many enemies for Franco Sensi, including the "Holy Alliance" represented by AC Milan and Juventus, but he has a tough personality and is uncompromising, so he simply uses it as the spokesperson of small and medium clubs Self-proclaimed, there are constant frictions with the "Holy Alliance".

In the election of the chairman of the Italian professional league held in 2002, the "Holy Alliance" elected Tanzi, the chairman of the Parma Club, as a candidate, and Sensi personally participated in the election. As a result, after several rounds of voting, both parties failed to obtain the required number of votes to be elected, and in the end they had to compromise with Galliani.

In addition, Franco Sensi has repeatedly pointed the finger at the "Holy Alliance" in interviews, accusing the other party of monopolizing most of the resources of Apennine football, thus affecting the living space of small and medium clubs.

The Sensi family was also believed to be behind the sensational "Eight Poor Strike" incident in the summer of 2002. In the first few years of the new century, the Sensi family has always been a maverick and presented itself as a "fighter", which also led to the unfair treatment of the Roma team in games.

In the process of fighting the "Holy Alliance", the Sensi family was hit by a "fire in the backyard". With the bursting of the football bubble economy, the Club of Rome quickly fell into the predicament of making ends meet, and the company's stock price also fell all the way. In order to make up for the shortfall caused by the payment of transfer fees and high wages, the Sensi family had to pay out of their own pockets and invested hundreds of millions of euros one after another to maintain the normal operation of the club.

To make matters worse, the Sensi family's business was also in serious trouble at this time, especially when their development plan for an oil field was delayed again and again, causing Italian oil companies to bear a heavy burden for this, with a debt of nearly 400 million euros. In addition, several real estate projects invested by the Sensi family are also facing huge losses.

In this context, the outside world generally believes that the sale of the Club of Rome will be the only way for the Sensi family to survive the crisis. After all, this move can bring them huge income, and it can also get rid of a financial burden that requires continuous injection of funds every year. In recent years, there have been rumors that foreign consortia may acquire the Club of Rome. In addition to Russian oil tycoons and Arab consortiums, potential buyers even include financial giants such as Soros.

However, out of love for the Club of Rome, Franco Sensi always refused to make such a choice. In order to help the company survive the crisis, he would rather transfer up to 49% of the shares of Italian oil company to the bank to cover the huge debt owed to the other party. In addition, the Sensi family has also sold oil fields and real estate one after another, but the Club of Rome is the only one who is unwilling to give up.

Rosella Sensi, like her father, loves the Roma club far beyond ordinary people. The team won the league runner-up last season, which gave her a boost. Before the start of the new season, she is also trying her best to strengthen The strength of the team.

Last season, the team's biggest problem was the defense. After losing Samuel and Zebina, this season, the team's main left back Chivu was also sold to Inter Milan. When he came to the team, his state has been fluctuating. After discussing with Spalletti, signings are inevitable.

Roma don't even need to think about those big names, so Spalletti recommended Gamberini to Rosella Sensi. Although the Italian handsome guy was not the absolute main force of Fiorentina last season, his strength is obvious to all. It didn't look too difficult for Rini to seduce Rome.

The high salary and the main position are enough to make Gamberini tempted!

Gamberini is indeed very tempted, but staying in Florence is also very attractive to him, of course, this is under the premise that Florence can meet his conditions.

Encouraged by Orlando, Gamberini finally got through the phone: "Rod! This is Alejandro!"

Digan has never been a person who likes to beat around the bush, so he came straight to the point: "Alejandro, I heard you want to leave!"

Gamberini was taken aback, feeling a little guilty: "No! I don't want to leave, but I think I should get better treatment, if the club can~~~~~~"

"Do you think your request is reasonable?"

Gamberini was interrupted by Degan, feeling a little upset: "Of course, everyone can see my contribution to the team!"

Digan sneered when he heard the words: "If you stick to your terms, I don't think there is much to talk about. An annual salary of two million euros, I think this is already very reasonable!"

Before Gamberini could speak, Orlando grabbed the phone: "That's just your opinion. Since Alejandro is a very important player in the team, he should be paid reasonably. I~~~~~~ "

Before Orlando finished speaking, Degan hung up the phone directly.

He looked up at Pakinwa: "Chairman Pakinwa, now the club can notify Gamberini's agent that they can find another home, but I think you can handle the transfer fee!"

Parkinwa listened, and couldn't help feeling depressed. He didn't like Digan's commanding tone, but he nodded and said, "Of course! It's impossible for the Romans to get our players without paying enough." of!"
