Chapter 185
In fact, Conte's actual entry time was a full month earlier than the club's announcement time.

During this month, he has been in constant communication with the club's transfer director, and it can be said that he has fully used every penny of the team's summer window transfer budget.

Unlike Carni who has been staying in Piacenza, Conte, as a former professional player who has played for many Serie A giants, his contacts can be said to be fully utilized in the transfer of Piacenza this summer window.

For the newly promoted players who have just been promoted to Serie A, what kind of players have the effect of immediate combat power and are easy to get and save money?

The answer is the rich youth training who were rented out to other teams to seek opportunities to play.

These youth training players can survive until they are only one step away from the first team, and they often have good talents, but sometimes the fierce competition of giant clubs makes it difficult for them to play.

At this time, the club does not want to let go and cannot guarantee the player's chance to play, so it will naturally choose to send the player to a team that can give the player a chance to play on loan.

Every year, some small clubs that need to improve their immediate combat power will snap up players on loan from giants. After all, as long as they win the lottery, it is very likely that the team will have an extra thigh this season.

And, most importantly, the loan costs are really low, which is perfect for a small club that has to budget every season.

After the end of this season, apart from actively receiving contact from Aubameyang's agent who performed well in the Milan reserve team, Piacenza has no way to contact those players who are going to be rented out by the giants.

First of all, reached an agreement with Milan, who had long wanted to rent out Aubameyang, who was increasingly restless in the reserve team but not suitable for the requirements of the first team. Piacenza confirmed the team's No.1 signing in early July.

Afterwards, throughout the first half of July, a series of signings that Piacenza wanted fell into a stalemate, and the team had to deal with some players who were not capable enough.

This stalemate in the introduction of players has only improved with the joining of Conte. After Conte participated in the team's signings, the progress of introducing high-quality players has been greatly accelerated.

The team first got in touch with Juventus, who intends to sell Nocerino. For the core midfielder who left the team last season, the Piacenza executives who were impressed by his performance still appreciate it.

Conte also nodded to the deal after observing Nocerino's performance at Juventus for a season, and by virtue of his relationship with Juventus senior management, Piacenza beat rival Palermo at a lower price.

In the end, the young midfielder who had left Piacenza for a year was successfully bought back at a price of 700 million euros.

In addition, with full-back Lorenzo officially retiring and Scarpelli recovering from his injury, Piacenza's backcourt also needs to be supplemented urgently.

During the club's investigation, several targets were selected successively, and finally they chose Astori, who had just completed his loan at Cremonese and returned to Milan.

Astori is definitely a qualified central defender, but he is too young and compared with the terrifying defensive lineup of the Milan team, he is still a bit worse, so this time Milan completely decided to let go of this player from his own youth training.

At the beginning of August, Piacenza, who had not announced the news of the joining of new players for a long time, announced that the team had signed the defender for 150 million euros after defeating rival Cagliari.

Immediately afterwards, the team reached an agreement with Lazio and successfully introduced the full-back De Silvestri, who performed well in the team, at a price of 550 million euros.

Subsequently, the club began to sign some players who are capable of guaranteeing their prime.

First, through negotiations, they purchased the good striker Flocari from Atlanta at a cost of 850 euros to reinforce the somewhat weak striker after Guzman left the team.

The team focused on the attacking midfielder in the transfer market. People noticed that Liu Feng was frequently withdrawn as a midfielder last season. In the new season, this kind of waste of Liu Feng's offensive ability must never happen again.

However, the price of an excellent attacking midfielder in the market is really high, and the value of several powerful players that Piacenza has scouted is beyond what Piacenza can pay.

In the end, it was Conte who took the lead. Relying on his influence in football and his good relationship with the top management of the Juventus club, he bought half of the ownership of Juventus' young midfielder Marchisio at a price of 500 million euros.

The 22-year-old midfield genius stayed with the club during Juventus's Serie B season, and helped players return to Serie A with the highest score in Serie B history in one season. He has a deep affection for the team.

However, last season, Juventus, which recruited after returning to Serie A, introduced more powerful midfielders, and Marchisio was loaned to Empoli to play.

After his return to the club, the team's current coach was considering Marchisio's future, when Conte and Piacenza came with great sincerity.

Half of the ownership and the right of first repurchase means that Juventus can exercise its right at any time to buy back this player who came from his own youth training and is absolutely loyal to the club.

Just like when Marchisio left the club, the person in charge of the club's transfer affairs said to him personally: "Juventus will always be your home, and you can come back at any time."

After Marchisio decided to join the team, Piacenza also officially announced the news of the coaching change and the joining of this absolutely star player.

Piacenza fans who have seen Juventus' incredible performance in Serie B in the 2006-2007 season naturally know this young player who has performed well in Juventus' midfield.

As the news of the introduction of a famous player came together, the fans who kept watching the meritorious players of last season left the team slowly calmed down.

In this summer window, the club’s net investment in signings after deducting the income from selling players has reached more than 2000 million euros. This can be said to be a shot in the arm for Piacenza fans who are used to seeing the team’s core sales every season.

Looking at the joining of players who came from the youth training of rich clubs or who have performed well in their teams, there is no doubt that Piacenza, who has signed a lot of money, has a vision for the next season that is definitely not the first season of Serie A.

Except for the players who were notified by the club about the transaction, the other players in Piacenza did not receive too much disturbance during the holidays. They did not receive a message together until the day when Conte was announced as the team's new coach.

"The team will start pre-season training on August [-]th, please arrive at the training base on time."

 Some potential stocks and strength stocks have been introduced. Although Conte's coaching style is still immature at this time, he can be said to be the most suitable coach.
