Chapter 59: Deegan is unhappy and the consequences are serious
Digan is a guy who can't hide his fart in his heart. When he learned that the club was thinking of selling Pacini for cash, and that even Montolivo was included in the scope of sale, he immediately became concerned. Fire.
Now is the time when the team is striving for honor, but the club poachs its own corners. How can Degan bear this kind of short-sightedness.
Although he came to Atlanta to find a way out for himself, as a player, especially because of a heart attack in his previous life, he had to give up once. Now God has mercy on him, giving him another chance to stand on the court. The thirst for honor is definitely beyond everyone.
Now in the Atlanta team, Montolivo and Pacini have almost become his left and right hands. During the game, these two people gave him the greatest support.
What's more, the personal relationship between the three is very good. Degan naturally does not want his friend to be sold by the club. Of course, from the perspective of friends, he does not want to hinder their future, but at least this season, Degan hopes that the two of them can stay. .
"Mr. Coach! I want to know if it is true that the club intends to sell Ricardo and Giampaolo!?" Digan didn't have much contact with the team's management. After all, his ownership is still in AC Milan. If he knew the inside information, he could only come to Mandolini.
Mandolini was taken aback when he heard the words. He is also having a headache now. He has already approached the chairman and general manager of the club before, and expressed his hope that the team can strengthen the team during the winter break.
It's a pity that the answer he got disappointed him. In the final analysis, the team has no money. Not only can it not introduce capable players to enhance the team's competitiveness, it even has to consider selling some players during the winter break. Cash out to enable the club to run healthier.
Selling players, there are only a few people in the team who can sell the bid, Montolivo, Pacini, Lazzari, but if they all leave, how will the team play in the second half?
Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that Degan's ownership was no longer in Atlanta's hands, it is estimated that Degan would be the first to be sold.
Faced with Digan's angry questioning, Mandolini seemed a little helpless and deliberately concealed it, but how could such a thing be concealed? Instead of making Digan even bear a grudge against him, it is better to tell the truth.
"Yes! Rhodes! I can't do anything about these things. Of course I don't want the team to fall apart. The team is in a very good condition right now. I also hope that everything can continue. By the end of the season, I can win honors. But I can't do anything, I can't make decisions about all of this!"
Degan couldn't help but sneered and said: "Who is it? I mean who is the club going to sell, Ricardo? Giampaolo? Or Andre? Or you should push me to AC Milan, maybe in that case you still want to sell me. Can knock a fortune on Berlusconi!"
As soon as Mandolini heard Degan's tone, he knew that Degan was very disappointed with the club, and even thought of leaving. Mandolini could also understand Degan's thoughts. Heart team play.
But if Digan is really let go, what will Atlanta do?
Without Degan, the fulcrum of the offensive end, and taking into account the second half, Atlanta will also win an award, the award for the fastest decline in performance.
Thinking of this Mandolini is even more of a headache. I originally thought that I could use my personal feelings to keep Digando in Atlanta for a few years, but looking at it now, if I can't make comfort, it is estimated that Digan will leave in the second half of the season. .
"Rod! I hope you can calm down and don't bring this emotion to the arena. I will pass on your thoughts to the club management, but as for how they will decide, I can only say that I will try my best to persuade them!"
Digan was not so easy to be fooled, and he directly had a showdown with Mandolini: "Mr. Coach! You can tell the club management what I mean. The current main players must be retained, and some capable players must be brought in." Player, fight with us, if he refuses, I will return to AC Milan during the winter break! I don't want me and my teammates to work hard on the field, but when we want to win honors, we are poached by our own people !"
If an ordinary player dares to threaten the team like this, it is estimated that what awaits him will be a ban, but Digan is different. As a star player in a small team, he has the qualifications to challenge the club.
Even the chairman of Atlanta dare not ignore Degan's opinion. He really intends to sell some players for cash. Now that several young players in the team have already sold their worth, take advantage of this time to make a move and then lower the price. The strength of the team will definitely be affected by the introduction of a few, but the results should not fluctuate too much.
For the team to win the Serie A championship, he did not report any expectations at all. In his opinion, Atlanta can now rank first because those opponents are not familiar with Atlanta's style of play, and they don't know enough about Degan. Once they study Atlanta Through, soon Atlanta will be beaten back to the prototype.
In his opinion, if the team can avoid relegation, it is a success. If it can enter the European arena, it will be profitable. Don't think too much about other things.
But the chairman of Atlanta is still clear about one thing, and that is the importance of Degan to the team. Now 80% of Atlanta's goals are scored by Degan. Once Degan leaves, the team It is very likely that what he will face is a big drop in grades, which he absolutely does not want to see.
"He really said that?"
Mandolini said: "Yes! Mr. Chairman, you can take Rhodes' words as an ultimatum. If you don't agree, he will leave!"
Riodo rubbed his sore forehead, and said: "Coach Mandolini! You can tell Rhodes that even if some players are sold, the club will replenish the team's lineup, and the club's current financial situation is really bad." difficulty."
Although Riodo was very tough in front of Berlusconi that day, he seemed to really care about the club's results, but that was only because he and Berlusconi had different political stances, which was a personal grievance. A businessman, since he is a businessman, there is no one who does not want to make money.
Mandolini felt depressed for a while, and said, "Mr. Chairman, you'd better tell Rhodes yourself. From what I know about him, maybe he will return to Milan immediately after you finish speaking." !"
Riodo thought about it for a while. This feeling of being threatened really made him very angry. Although he is not like those rich club owners, he is also in charge of a club, and this team Now that he is still ranked first in the league standings, it really makes him very unhappy to be threatened by a stunned young man like this.
"If we don't agree, he can't leave. There was a contract between us and Milan!"
Mandolini knew that Riodo was still lucky, and felt helpless, and said: "Mr. Chairman, I think I have to remind you that we do not bear Rhodes' salary. As long as he is willing, Milan only needs to pay a certain amount. Rhodes can be taken away with a very small liquidated damages!"
Now Riodo can't do anything wrong. Of course he can't let Degan leave. It is precisely because of Degan that now every home game, the Blue Italy stadium is full. If the head star is forced to leave, who will come to watch the game? The loss of ticket money alone is enough to make Riodo feel distressed to death.
"But the club's financial problems~~~~~~~"
Mandolini couldn't listen anymore, and said: "Mr. Chairman, if we can win an honor this season and enter the UEFA Champions League next season, the prize money and TV broadcast share alone will be enough for Atlanta The financial problems are completely solved, Mr. Rialdo! This is not an excuse! If you don't want to see empty stands at the Italian Stadium in the second half of the season, and you don't want Atalanta to be the laughing stock of the entire Italian football world, yes Time to open your safe! If you still want to sell a player after this season, I won't stop you!"
Mandolini has also made up his mind to leave Atlanta after the end of this season. As long as this season can be successful, he will not worry about finding a job. He really does not want to work with this short-sighted chairman. Said it was torture.
Riodo hesitated for a while, but was finally moved by the bright prospect outlined by Mandolini. Although he still insisted that the team has no chance of winning the league championship, if they can enter the Champions League next season, Just for the bonus, that one is worth it.
"Are you really sure!?"
Mandolini said: "Rather than saying that I am sure, it is better to say that I have confidence in Rhodes. He is definitely a once-in-a-century genius player. As long as he is in the team, everything is possible! Mr. Chairman, don't forget , before the start of the match against AC Milan, who would have thought that Degan would score four goals in a row and lead the team to victory!"
Riodo was finally persuaded: "Okay! I can agree to Rhodes' request, coach Mandolini, you can think about who you want to introduce, of course I hope you can keep one thing in mind, it is too expensive Players we can't afford!"
It's just bullshit!
Players that are too expensive, even if Atlanta wants to buy them, they must be willing to come.
The small temple in Atlanta can accommodate the great god Digan, and it is almost condemned by the gods. It would be strange to invite another one.
But it is always a good thing to be able to convince Riodo, at least in this way, Degan can stay in the team, even if it is only this season.
