One Hundred and Forty-Nine He Is Not Qualified!
With the ferment of the Calciopoli incident, Juventus, as the center of this storm, has attracted much attention in every move.
In order to restore the adverse impact of the incident on the club as soon as possible, Fiat Group, the consortium behind Juventus, quickly made a decision. Chairman Stevens, General Manager Moggi, Vice Chairman Bettega, and CEO Giraldo stepped down. .
The top leaders of the Bianconeri were wiped out, and the leadership team was completely overthrown and rebuilt.
After the vote of the club's shareholders, Geely, the owner of the supermarket chain, was elected as the chairman of Juventus; Jean-Claude Blanco, the former French newspaper editor from the Tour de France organizing committee, became the general manager; Press officer Alessio Seco will serve as sporting director.
Geely, Blanco, and Seco, these three became the new Big Three of Juventus after the reorganization, controlling the power of the club.
When the whole world thought that Serie A and Juventus were caught off guard by this sudden phone call incident, only those in the game understood that this storm had been secretly brewing for many years.
Blanco knows this best.
...
As we all know, it is the Fiat consortium behind him that really controls Juventus, and the major shareholder is the Agnelli family.
But in 2003 and 2004, the brothers Gianni Agnelli and Umberto Agnelli passed away successively, which brought violent turmoil to the Fiat consortium. Gianni Agnelli's nephew John El Can joined Ferrari CEO Montezemolo to become the new helm of the Fiat consortium.
On a winter night in 2004, John Elkann met Blanco in Paris, France, and formally invited him to join the Juventus management team, which surprised Blanco at the time.
"You already have the outstanding Moggi and Giraldo, why do you need me?" This was Blanco's question at the time.
He remembers very well John Elkann telling him, very firmly, "No, we're trying to get them out."
Blanco initially thought that this was a battle for power in Juventus, which is very common in wealthy teams, so he entered the management of Juventus, ready to take over the Bianconeri at any time.
But gradually, he found that things were not that simple.
Not long ago, when the matter could no longer be covered up, John Elkann told him that, as early as 2004, he had received news from government channels that he was about to attack Moji and Gila Aldo's violations will be investigated.
After two years of preparation and deliberation, it was only in 2006 that the world-shocking phone-gate incident occurred before the World Cup.
The Big Three fell, and the new Big Three came to power logically.
John Elkann's plan has mostly come to fruition, but it has also gone awry.
For example, what he promised Blanco was the chairman of Juventus, but now he has become the general manager, and the one above is the owner of a supermarket chain.
Also, Juventus is likely to be relegated, which they had never thought of before.
The key point is that Montezemolo, the new chairman of the Fiat consortium, asked Juventus to abandon the appeal, accept the punishment, maximize the public relations crisis, and strive to reduce the losses of the consortium.
But no matter what, after the new Big Three took office, the first thing they faced was how to clean up this mess?
...
Three days a small meeting, five days a meeting.
Since the phone gate incident broke out, this has become the norm for Juventus management.
The club's administration was a mess, constantly reorganized, and the football team was even more troubled.
Many people, including head coach Fabio Capello, have made it clear that they will not go to Serie B with the team. They are all world-class superstars and famous coaches. Naturally, they are unwilling to struggle in Serie B. And no one knows that Juventus After this tragic blow, whether Si can make a comeback.
In this case, only the stars who really love this team will choose to stay.
It is reported that
Capello is very close to the Real Madrid presidential candidate Calderon, and everyone knows that Calderon is now a popular candidate for the Real Madrid chairman, because the current chairman Martin has been completely abandoned by Real Madrid fans.
Calderon's running partner Mijatovic was Capello's favorite player when he was in charge of Real Madrid. If Calderon is elected, the first thing to do is to bring Capello to the Bernabeu without even thinking about slogans.
Real Madrid fans, don't you appreciate profoundness?
It is said that Gao Shen is the 2.0 version of Capello, and I will invite the original version of the master right now, and it will be in place at one time to meet all your requirements!
If Capello is gone, who is willing to take over a Juventus that has been relegated to the second division?
In the past period of time, both Blanco and Seko have contacted many famous coaches, but they are basically indifferent.
No one wants to step into the muddy water of Juventus at this time.
In the beginning, they used the standards of wealthy families to select coaches, but they got frustrated. Later, they kept lowering their requirements, but they couldn't find suitable candidates. Basically, when they heard that it was Juventus, they all politely declined.
Even if Blanco used his personal relationship to contact the former Juventus star Didier Deschamps, the French coach hesitated and said that he had to think about it again, and there was no news after that.
Obviously, no one wants to take that risk.
They kept narrowing down the scope of coach selection, constantly deleting candidates, and finally locked on a rather unexpected name.
profound!
...
"I don't think he is a suitable candidate." Seko was the first to express his objection.
Blanco was not surprised, even within his expectations, "Tell me the reason."
"I don't deny that he is the hottest head coach this summer. He led Real Madrid to win the double crown. His results are indeed shining, but as far as I know, he is also the most picky in his requests. He even wants to intervene in the transfer of the club. will be with the contract."
After a pause, Seco asked Blanco, "Do you think it's appropriate for a young man who is only twenty-five years old to gain such a great power? Even if we all think it's okay, what about the higher-ups?"
At the end of Seko's speech, he pointed to the top of his head, meaning the Fiat consortium.
"Judging from his coaching in Real Madrid, he is a very thoughtful, thoughtful person, young, energetic and aggressive, and his tactical ideas have even been supported by Sacchi, Valdano, Beckenbauer and Prati. The unanimous affirmation of Ni et al."
Blanco was also prepared, "I asked Zidane to find out, and he was full of praise for Gao Shen. He thought that Gao Shen was not like a twenty-five-year-old young man. His style of doing things was very mature and stable. .”
"Believe me, Alessio, if he can manage Real Madrid's locker room well, then he can manage the locker room in any team in the world. As for his technical and tactical level, La Liga and Champions League two A championship is the best proof."
"Of course, I admit what you said." Seko also nodded, but changed the topic, "However, this does not mean that we have to hand over the transfer rights and the power to negotiate contract renewals to him."
"This aspect can be discussed, and he does not want to be responsible for transfers and contract renewals, but wants to participate. He hopes that the club will introduce the players he wants. I think this is understandable."
Seko sneered, "I don't understand. If it was Lippi, I would have nothing to say, but he is not qualified yet!"
After finishing speaking, Seko stood up from his seat, turned and left.
Blanco watched him leave, sighing inwardly.
In fact, he was not surprised by Seko's firm opposition. The reason is very simple. Seko is the sports director.
Everyone knows that the chairman Geely is more on the high ground, and the general manager Blanco is responsible for the club's management and competitive affairs. The sports director is responsible for more specific sports affairs, such as transfers, operations and negotiations. There are also player renewals, these are the functional areas of the sports director.
If you agree to Gao Shen's request, wouldn't that be tantamount to weakening his power?
Moreover, Seko's reason is also very legitimate, because Gao Shen has never had such a successful experience.
Who can guarantee that he will not have any problems?
Even if he is only given the right to make suggestions, the club will be responsible for the specific operations, but who can guarantee that the player he likes will be successful? There must be no tricks?
The black gold scandal in the Premier League was a lesson for all clubs in all leagues.
But Blanco still wants to meet Gao Shen.
Whether it is from his former colleagues in L'Equipe, or from French friends such as Zidane and Platini, or from Sacchi, Capello and others, the people Blanco knows are full of praise for Gao Shen .
I have heard for a long time that Gao Shen has contacted many teams, but most of them remain on the sidelines, and they are also worried about this.
But Gao Shen's attitude is very firm.
Because, he wants to build a team in his mind.
Blanc wanted to meet him to see if he was worth it and Juventus took the risk for him.
