Chapter 62 Broker

Although Atlanta's current state is very good, if you want to continue this state, you can't just rely on the current lineup. It can be said that the current Atlanta team can keep up with everyone's progress and is qualified to play for the first team There are not many, just a dozen or so people, and using a dozen or so people to fight on two fronts to cope with the entire season's games is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, the only solution is to introduce players and enhance the strength of the team. Degan does not want to see the team suddenly collapse due to injuries and physical problems at the end of the season, and their efforts throughout the year will be in vain. .

As a time traveler, Degan naturally has a way to help the team, but with Riodo's stingy temperament, it is impossible for him to buy young talents. Degan can only try his best to recall those, and now Atlanta Candidates who can afford it and are willing to come over, and who must have certain strengths and can enhance the team's combat effectiveness.

The first person he thought of was Nocerino, who later became a superstar in AC Milan, but fell instantly after one season.

Nocerino started his career in the Juventus youth team. He spent four seasons in the Juventus youth team. In 2003, he joined the Avellino Football Club in Serie B. This season he moved to Genoa, but he was not taken seriously in Genoa, and it was just the right time to dig Nuotian Wang.

Although Nocerino was criticized by Milan fans in his previous life, he attributed his rapid decline to a bad mentality, and he didn't want to make progress after achieving success, but that was all fart.

The reason why Nocerino was able to play superstar data in the first season of joining AC Milan is entirely because Ibrahimovic, the fulcrum who can hold the ball, is in front of him. The assault ability is excellent. As a result, after Ibrahimovic left, Allegri advocated the midfield muscles and used Nocerino like Gattuso. The result was naturally sad, because Nocer Rino didn't feel that he was swept horizontally like Gattuso's ability, so his performance naturally fell short.

But if he can come to Atlanta, Degan thinks that he is absolutely no worse than Ibrahimovic. With him in the front, Nocerino can go forward at any time to assist in the attack. Atlanta's strength has risen to a higher level.

Although Zenoni's strength is good, but he can't keep up with the rhythm of the team. Now Atlanta pursues to play fast, counterattack quickly, and return to defense quickly. At that time, Nocerino will be in the midfielder position. , Lazzari, and Albertini in the middle command, even with the strong teams.

Of course, just one Nocerino is not enough to improve the team's combat effectiveness. Atlanta still needs to continue to strengthen in other positions.

The team's offensive line does not need to be adjusted. Degan can cope with the whole year's games, Pacini's strength is also very outstanding, and with Boudin as a substitute, Pia enriches the team's offensive routines, which is enough.

However, Montolivo needs a substitute. Degan has taken a fancy to the Chilean Jimenez who is still playing in Serie B. Although this gentleman is not obvious now, he will be very popular in Inter Milan for a while. , not only can play sideways, but can also organize offenses in the middle. It is very suitable to use him as Montolivo's substitute.

At present, the team's biggest problem is the defense. Of course, Degan also hopes to introduce a strong central defender like Kompany, but it's a pity that Riodo, who has always been dunking Soso, will definitely not waste that money.

But it doesn't matter, you can't buy rich and handsome, there are many counterattacks in world football, such as Cassetti, who is still playing as a substitute winger in Lecce, and will be the main right back of the Roma team in the future.

Although Rivalta, the team's main right back, is still competent, his assist ability is so poor that it can almost be ignored. If Cassetti can be bought, at least the team's right channel can be eliminated. opened.

The left side also needs to be strengthened. Bellini's strength can only be used as a substitute now, but there are very few good left backs in world football. Degan suddenly thought of a person. After Maldini, Italy Tianzun Keke, the left winger of the national team, basically can't get along in Inter Milan now. He has a high salary, but he can't play in the game. Enough to replace Bellini.

Of course, there are also central defenders. Only Sara and Natalie are definitely not enough. Gonella's strength is mediocre, his ability to defend against high balls is average, and his slow turning speed is even more unforgivable.

Digan once again set his sights on Inter Milan. Gamara, the captain of the Paraguayan national team, is different from Koko. Doba firmly occupies the position of the main central defender. He has no bright future at all. Maybe he can help Inter Milan on loan for half a season.

It's not that Degan has no better options. He was optimistic about the old Juventus defender Montero. He has no place in Juventus. Unfortunately, Juventus may find it difficult to transfer Montero to Atlanta. main competitor.

After thinking about it, Degan handed over the list of candidates he was optimistic about to Mandolini. If others did this, they must be crazy, but Degan has this qualification now. He is the star of the team. The main scorer on the line, his opinion, even the club's management has to consider it carefully.

Not to mention anything else, in the first half of the season, the Atlanta club has already made a lot of money selling Degan's jerseys. Originally, Degan's portrait rights are in his own hands. For a grassroots like him, AC Milan will naturally not think that Degan How much commercial value it has, the issue of portrait rights has never been considered.

But the situation is different now. Degan is very popular. Even if Atlanta is only authorized by Degan to own 25% of the jersey profits, it can still make a lot of money. Who made Degan become Bergamo big star.

Although I don't know how Degan knew about these people, Mandolini still attaches great importance to Degan's opinion and contacted the team's scout, the old man Pellegri who brought Degan back from Milanello. Ni, let him examine some of the little people on the list.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, in the middle of the week, Atlanta sat at home and faced Lazio who came to challenge. Now Lazio is no longer the club that took money for money. The team is now pursuing a monetary austerity policy. In the summer, it was because he could not afford Albertini's salary that he was sent to Atlanta for free.

The Serie A championship, now they can't count on it, but they don't want to give up the Coppa Italia easily.

But the process of the game still made Lazio very disappointed. With a score of 2:1, Atalanta had the last laugh. Degan did not score in the game, but assisted Albertini to score from a long distance. The other goal was scored by Paccini Yes, Lazio only scored a face-saving goal by Inzaghi Jr. at the last moment of the game, but they could not escape the fate of being eliminated.

After successfully entering the quarter-finals, Lazio's next opponent will be Ascoli, a team from Serie B. If there are no accidents, they will enter the semi-finals, and there is no problem.

In the next round of the league, Atalanta will go to Palermo in an away game. Palermo is also in excellent form this season, relying on a group of young people led by veteran Corini. Ranked fifth in the standings, a place in the Champions League is just around the corner.

Especially the team's main striker, Luca Toni, has been in a hot state in recent rounds of the league. He has scored ten goals, surpassing Ibrahimovic and Bazzani, ranking first in the scorer list. second.

But before going to the away game, Degan ushered in an unexpected guest, the Portuguese Mendes.

With Porto miraculously winning the European Champions Cup last season, Mendes has also risen. Many players in that Porto team are under his banner, and even the manager of the head coach Mourinho is also in his hands. superior.

"I think I need to introduce myself, my name is Heljo Mendes and I'm a football agent!"

Looking at this handsome middle-aged man in front of him, Digan didn't find it very strange. He doesn't have an agent now, so it's not surprising at all to attract those 3% gentlemen with his fame.

Although Degan has never met Mendes, he is no stranger to this person in his previous life. Like the vampire Raiola, Mendes can also be regarded as a top agent among agents. The players under his command, whether it is Now or in the future, they are all well-known, Ronaldo Jr., Nani, Anderson, Deco, Pepe, any one of them is enough to make those giants snap up for a while.

Jorge? Mendez's own experience is also legendary. He was also a player when he was young, playing the left winger position, maybe this is why he prefers Ronaldo, but his talent on the court is far inferior to Ronaldo, most of the time he played for a third-tier club speaks for itself.

But when he was still a player, Mendes has already shown his business acumen. He once contracted the right to publish advertisements on the outer wall of the stadium. He also opened a football video rental store. In fact, Mendes's current giant enterprise Its start is due to the original video store.

Mendez is a very shrewd businessman and a workaholic.

Even the general manager of Atletico Madrid, Xiao Hill, once gave him a very high evaluation: he is not the kind of agent who sells a player and doesn't care about it anymore. What he cares most about is not the commission, but the balance between the players, the agent and the two clubs. The players he recommends are very good. Some players are unknown at the beginning, but as long as they are recommended by him, they are trustworthy. It is very important to maintain a good relationship with an agent with rich resources like him.

Raiola also contacted Digan before, but was rejected by Digan. He didn't want to partner with a vampire. As a football agent, Raiola is notorious in Europe.

After the Serie A phone call broke out and Juventus was relegated, Ibrahimovic went quite decisively, and Raiola contributed a lot. What makes Juventus fans even more unforgivable is that the next home of the Swedes turned out to be their mortal enemy Inter Milan.

In the three years at Inter Milan, Ibrahimovic was at his peak, but Inter Milan finally let go of the Swedish tower. A very important factor is that they cannot bear Raiola's greed and endless request.

It was he who made Ibrahimovic continue to renew his contract to reach the world's top salary within three years, and after Maxwell failed to renew his contract and raise his salary, and after he had a bad relationship with Inter Milan, he single-handedly planned Ibrahimovic and Maxwell's switch to Barcelona.

At the beginning, the performance of the Swedes in Barcelona was not too bad, but Raiola and Guardiola's frequent confrontations indirectly led to the conflict between the Swedes and Guardiola. Therefore, the root cause of Ibrahimovic's departure from Barcelona was not Guardiola's distrust, nor was Barcelona's tactics unsuitable, but his agent Mino Raiola played a considerable destructive role in it.

Even in the previous life, the bad boy Balotelli married Raiola. At that time, the Inter Milan executives had a headache because it was Raiola who first won a huge annual salary of 12 million euros for Ibrahimovic, and then helped Sweden. Shenta successfully switched to Barcelona. The departure of the three players Ibrahimovic, Maxwell and Balotelli means that Raiola has turned against Inter Milan, and his best way of revenge may be to form an alliance with AC Milan.

Such a scumbag who constantly encourages players to transfer and interferes with players' performance on the court, of course Degan would not choose him as his agent, but Mendes is different.

"You mean you want me to be your player?"

Mendes smiled and said: "Of course not, we are a cooperative relationship, I will not interfere with your decision, I will only fight for you in line with your performance, of course, this also requires your approval!"

Degan appreciates being able to consider the players.

Turning to look at Belen, he said, "Don't you give me some advice?"

Belen didn't expect Degan to ask her, which made her feel happy. She is not willing to be just an accessory in Degan's life. If possible, she hopes to influence Degan's thoughts and become an indispensable part of Degan's side. An indispensable existence.

"Rod! I think you need an agent to help you take care of things off the court now. You can't always wait for those sponsors to come to sign the contract. If someone helps, your financial interests can be maximized." protection!"

Digan nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay! Mr. Mendes, I am willing to ask you to be my agent, but do you have any good suggestions for me now?"
