The Football Journey After Soul Shifting

"A cup of latte, no sugar, thank you." Liu Wen opened the chair and sat down opposite Sacchi. Arrigo Sacchi straightened his glasses, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Mariano. "

Liu Wen was a little embarrassed. Even though it had been a year since he moved his soul to Italy, he was still not used to western etiquette. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Saki."

When he sat down, Sacchi nodded at him and started the topic: "I lost all of your European Cup matches and watched them all. Frankly speaking, I attribute more than 70% of the credit to Italy's victory this time. You. Mariano, as an Italian, I must salute you."

Saki picked up the coffee cup gracefully, made a respectful gesture to Liu Wen, and took a sip: "I have been paying attention to you since a year ago. You may not believe it, but since then, I have been paying attention to you." I'm sure you'll get there. As a coach, I've always believed in my own eyes. I've told my son that Mariano Arini is a rough stone. He has the biggest diamond in the world. One day it will show up and shock the whole world—you may not know that a year ago, I suggested to Mr. Berlusconi to sign you at all costs, but at that time, Mr. Berlusconi did not listen to me, just Offered 800 million euros, the Napoli boss at the time, Mr Nardi, although he was an idiot, also rejected that offer."

Liu Wen was stunned. He had read this news in the newspaper, but he didn't know it was true. "Mr. Saki, I don't want to transfer now..."

Sacchi nodded and interrupted Liu Wen: "I am not here for AC Milan. Let me introduce myself. I am now the technical director of Real Madrid. Just half an hour ago, Real Madrid proposed a deal of 5400 million to Naples." The euro offer, my boss, Mr. Florentino, wants to replace Ronnie with you. Yes, it is the best striker in the world, Ronaldo's position."

Liu Wen was dumbfounded: "5400 million euros, isn't that...a bit too much?"

"No, not much at all, you are priceless." Sacchi said, "In addition, Real Madrid is willing to offer you a three-year contract with a weekly salary of 15 euros. Now Naples' contract is basically Not worthy of your level."

Liu Wen bowed his head and pondered, now his contract in Naples is a weekly salary of 2.2 euros.Not top level even in Italy.

Sacchi seemed to have a rainbow-like tongue, and continued: "Mariano, I know you are very loyal to Naples, but the football world is not that simple. Italians know that football is a money game. A battlefield! A battlefield that uses money as a tool, with the theme of selling and being betrayed! Players, at best, are commodities to be valued. Whoever can afford the money can take them away. Football has nothing to do with loyalty .”

He glanced at Liu Wen's expression, took a breath, and said, "Italian has always been profound. You may know that 'spring sleeping wife' and 'sleeping housewife' are the same word, but the meaning is completely different." Loyalty "It's the same with "Yu Zhong". Mariano, if you want to pursue victory, you must join a stronger team. Naples is a small team. Not enough to realize your dreams, but Real Madrid can. Join Real Madrid, Mariano Think about it, what a great honor is the world's most valuable? This means that you will be recorded in football history, European Footballer, World Footballer is waving to you. All you have to do is to show your attitude to the management , expressing that he wants to go to Real Madrid, that's all..."

Liu Wen was indeed moved.Yes, there is no harm in joining Real Madrid, he will join the world's strongest club with the world's number one worth, play under the shining spotlight, bathe in the warm sunshine of the Iberian Peninsula, and play the most beautiful football in the world , to fight for all the championships... But, to do so, means that he will leave Italy, leave Naples, leave the coach and all the friends who value him, leave so many fans who support him, and, Zannah, what will she think? Woolen cloth?

And Diego-Diego often said: "It is meaningless to help the strong. It is a kindness to help the weak and defeat the strong." If he goes to Real Madrid like this, he will be farther and farther away from Diego. .

At this moment, Liu Wen made up his mind - he wants to stay in Naples!Carrying out loyalty, defeating all powerful enemies, driving the old king off the throne and replacing him himself, this is his way of football.

"I want to understand." Liu Wen looked at Sacchi and said firmly, "I am very happy that Real Madrid Club favors me, but now, I want to stay in Naples."

Saki nodded calmly. He was not disappointed, and even had some relief in his eyes. He stood up and shook hands with Liu Wen: "If you change your mind, please contact me. You have my phone number."

……

The invitation from Real Madrid was like a spring breeze, wrinkling Godzilla's heart.To be honest, he felt a little melancholy at the moment. Whoever rejected Real Madrid's invitation and rejected such an obvious road to the sky would be a little bit disappointed.

There was a light knock on the door behind him, Liu Wen turned around and saw his new roommate, Italy's chief center Christian Vieri, walking in with a smile on his face.Liu Wen caught a glimpse at a glance, there was a lip mark on Vieri's neck that was too late to wash off.

"The night was so beautiful last night!" Vieri greeted Liu Wen with a smile, and asked, "What happened to our Godzilla?"

Liu Wen answered honestly: "Christian, I just rejected an invitation from Real Madrid."

Vieri frowned slightly, and sat next to Liu Wen, "Real Madrid? The Spanish one?"

Liu Wen nodded, Vieri scratched his neck, and said seriously: "I understand how you feel, Mariano."

Vieri showed a pensive expression: "13 years ago, when I was playing in Turin, I had the same idea as you. I wanted to dedicate everything to the Red Bull, and even die there. At that time, I didn't Now it's so good, very quickly, I was sold to Ravenna, a Serie B team, I was very sad at the time, thinking it was an exile. Then very quickly, I was sent from Ravenna to Venice, Then I was driven from Venice to Atlanta, where I scored 19 goals in one season and entered Juventus for 250 million euros, and they called me a football prodigal.”

Liu Wen opened his mouth wide. It was the first time he had heard of Vieri's transfer experience, and it could almost be written as a travelogue.

"It's not over yet." Vieri gave him a sideways glance and continued. "At Juventus, I had to compete with Alessandro and Roberto Baggio. I scored 8 goals in one season. Then, I was sold to Atletico Madrid again." Vieri had a trace of nostalgia on his face, "Madrid is a good city. There, I scored 24 goals in 24 games. I also entered the Italian national team. I thought I could take root in Spain at one time, but soon, an offer of 1900 million euros brought me. Lazio. After returning to Italy. I only stayed in Lazio for one year. In 1999, I went to Inter Milan. The boss Moratti is a very good person. There, I felt at home for the first time. This For five years, I gave everything. They called me the king, but Adriano came and he took my place, and when Chelsea made an offer, I had to leave England."

Vieri let out a long breath and said: "In these years, I have transferred to many teams. Although sometimes it is for money, sometimes it is not. Many times, I can't even call out the names of my teammates accurately. I was driven to the next city. They called me a football whore, but I didn't want to sell myself. The football circle, you can't help yourself. So, Mariano, I envy you, you have the opportunity to practice your own Loyalty. Come on, I'll be watching your game at Chelsea. I'm curious to see where you go."

Vieri patted Liu Wen on the shoulder and ended the topic.

Liu Wen's heart is still a little heavy. For some reason, although Vieri's football career is perfect, Liu Wen still feels sorry for him.

……

At the moment in Naples, when the transfer fee of 5400 million euros prepared by Real Madrid for Liu Wen and the weekly salary of 15 euros were exposed, almost the most loyal Naples fans were not sure whether the Naples management would be moved.

Worried, fans gathered outside the club to protest against the team's association of Mariano Arini with the word 'transfer'.

From 8:[-] in the morning, the entrance of the Naples club was blocked. They held protest signs of "we want mariano" and "fxxk real madrid" and sat in at the entrance of the club.

Until 1 pm, the club's general manager Pierpaolo Corvino came out to refute the rumors that 5400 million euros could not take Mariano away from Naples, and the club will renew his contract with Mariano in the near future.The fans who surrounded the club dispersed in satisfaction.

De Laurentiis did reject the offer, Real Madrid's offer did not impress him, even, before that, De Laurentiis also rejected a 5700 million euros from Chelsea plus Damien- Duff's offer, you know, Damien Duff spent 1700 million euros on Abramovich's transfer fee last year.

After Naples rejected Real Madrid's offer, the European transfer curtain of the 2004-2005 season kicked off. After signing Vieri, Chelsea made another move and signed Rennes goalkeeper Pietro for 700 million euros. Cech, and Inter Milan, who just sold Vieri, made a bold move and signed Ronaldo back from Real Madrid for 3370 million euros. In the new season, the aliens will return to the Apennines and form a striker with compatriot Adriano partner.

Inter Milan's big money has also triggered an arms race among the Italian giants. On July 7, AC Milan announced that it had signed Serbian central defender Nemanja Vidic from the Moscow Spartak Club for 8 million euros. In the afternoon, Juventus Tooth has signed striker Adrian Mutu from Chelsea. (To be continued..)
