Chapter 356: Nesta's Contract Renewal Issue (Sixty-Five/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)

After the match with Lazio, Milan's central defender Nesta was injured again. This time he will be out for a month due to injury. ※※

This injury cast a shadow on his contract renewal negotiations with Milan.

After all, if Nesta's body is not good, Milan is not willing to pay a high salary to support such a player who can only appear on the injury list.

No matter how emotional.

Nesta was not cultivated by Milan itself.

And the emperor has his own ministers.

Just the day after the game, it was reported that Allegri wanted to completely transform Milan and Ronaldinho planned to leave Italy and return to Brazil.

This is to clean up the remnants within the team.

It is said that after the match with Lazio, Allegri realized that if he wanted to beat Lazio, he had to run faster than Lazio, and the players must be younger than Lazio's players.

So he decided to promote rejuvenation in Milan.

What he said to Galliani was that it was time for Milan to completely change blood.

This season, his performance in leading Milan was pretty good, so he had the confidence to make such a request to Galliani.

If the team is to be younger, then the veterans in the team may not stay for long.

As many as nine players have expired contracts this season, and many of these players are veterans.

Milan was originally considering renewing Pirlo's contract, but now Allegri's words have stopped the renewal negotiations. Pirlo still has one year left on his contract with the club, and they may sell Pirlo this summer, especially if Boateng performs well, or let Pirlo be a substitute on the bench for a year.

Gattuso's contract expired this summer, and after the contract expires, Milan plans to let him leave freely. Galliani originally planned to force Gattuso to stay. Before this game, he and Allegri had a disagreement about this matter, but after the failure of this game, Galliani also changed his attitude.

The same situation also exists for Dutch veteran Seedorf, who may go to the Brazilian league to continue his career. Obviously, there is no place for him in Allegri's Milan lineup.

Nesta's situation is slightly special.

He has suffered many injuries,

which everyone knows.

But even so, he is still the pillar of Milan's defense.

Thiago Silva is excellent, but he can't support the entire defense alone.

Just when Milan Club was hesitating whether to renew the contract with Nesta. Nesta was injured.

He was injured for a month.

And Nesta's insurance in the game also made Milan Club doubt how long he can maintain his condition.

In the game, Milan's most critical first goal will be lost at Nesta's feet.

And his injury is also related to this.

David Silva's cross ball was not threatening, but because Nesta was physically exhausted, the ball was not cleared far, giving Ballack a chance to shoot.

At the same time, Nesta sprained his knee in this defense. He was forced to be substituted.

He was running forward at the time, and the ball was passed behind him. He forced the brakes and stretched his legs to block the ball.

Just such a simple action, sprained his knee...

This goal showed Nesta's old age vividly.

This performance was so convincing that Allegri didn't even need to say anything. Galliani would also reconsider the contract with Nesta.

Originally, Milan planned to give Nesta a two-year contract, which was basically a lifetime contract for Nesta, who was about to turn 35.

Two years later, he would be 37 years old. It was time to retire.

But now Galliani plans to give Nesta a one-year contract and cut his salary significantly.

This move angered Nesta.

In fact, Nesta didn't care about the salary cut, as he had long passed the stage of playing for money.

But he felt that the club proposed to modify the renewal conditions when he was just injured, which was a bit of a robbery...

What he couldn't accept was the club's attitude.

When they used him, they treated him as a guest of honor, and when they didn't need him, they abandoned him like a worn-out shoe.

So Nesta simply asked his agent to suspend the renewal negotiations with the Milan club.

Since you think I have too many injuries, I will wait until my injuries are healed and I can play in the game before renewing my contract with you. Let me use my actual performance to fight for a contract that is worthy of me!

※※※

Everyone thought that there was no problem and suspense in the contract renewal between Nesta and Milan.

So many media only mentioned it before and didn't pay much attention to it.

They are concerned about things that are full of suspense.

This contract renewal is obviously not one of them.

But unexpectedly, when everyone thought there was no problem, the problem came.

In the past few days, the media has been reporting about the suspension of the contract renewal between Nesta and Milan.

The media are really powerful. They also dug out why the negotiations between Milan and Nesta were deadlocked.

"Allegri thinks Nesta is old and can't keep up with his requirements. In the game against Lazio, Allegri listed physical fitness and body as the guidelines for his team building, so those old guys naturally can't catch Allegri's eyes... Pirlo and Gattuso's contract renewals have been terminated, and Nesta may be the next one..."

The authoritative "Gazzetta dello Sport" said so, which is basically the truth. They don't know Lazio well enough and often make jokes, but they know the two teams in Milan very well.

This matter has caused a sensation throughout the Apennine Peninsula. Milan fans hope that the club will keep Nesta, but this time the loss to Lazio made the club very determined.

Galliani also stood up to support Allegri after the game. Although he did not support Allegri's cleaning of veterans, the meaning was almost the same.

"I was very excited in the first half against Lazio. This kind of excitement is rare when I watch Milan games. So I think Allegri is right. We have indeed found the right path, which leads to success and victory. I hope Milan can go further on this road..."

He supports Allegri. That is a metaphor that he will not let Nesta stay.

Changsheng also paid attention to this matter.

At first, he just regarded it as gossip that had nothing to do with him.

This matter has nothing to do with him.

Whether Milan has Nesta or not has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't need a central defender.

But later, he suddenly realized that maybe he needs Nesta.

It's not a football factor, but a political consideration from the club's perspective.

Nesta used to be the flag of Lazio. Later, because Cragnotti sold him to Milan to pay off the club's debts, he has been Milan's main central defender ever since.

But for many Lazio fans, especially those who have watched Lazio football for more than ten years, the name Nesta still has incredible magic.

When Milan came to play at Lazio's home stadium, the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Because of the constant victory, Milan's players are not very popular here, and many Milan players will be mercilessly booed in the stands when they get the ball.

Only Nesta is an exception.

Not only will he not be booed, he will also be cheered.

In the whole Milan, he is the only one who can enjoy such treatment at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

People like and miss Nesta.

Although he may never come back. But he is a banner figure cultivated by Lazio after all.

And in fact, the fans who are not good at Lazio do feel sorry for this.

Nesta is now a player of Milan. With the current relationship between the two clubs, Milan naturally cannot sell Nesta to Lazio, so it is almost impossible to see Nesta put on the blue eagle jersey again.

Look at Roma next door. Although their results are not as good as Lazio. But the flag in their team has always been there, which makes them proud.

Roma fans are now using this to attack Lazio, saying that although they have won many championships, they do not have their own soul and flag.

The players who are performing well in Lazio now. Basically, they are foreign players, and none of them are trained by Lazio itself.

Changsheng knows the feelings of Lazio fans for Nesta.

If Nesta can be brought back, it will be a great gift for those fans.

With Nesta's age and physical fitness. Under Lazio's tactical system, he can't play a few games at all.

But I don't need him to play many games. His return is probably enough.

Anyway, his contract is about to expire. If they dig him back, the club doesn't have to spend a penny, just give him a salary.

And Lazio is his home team, and Nesta is probably willing to accept the request for a pay cut.

This is completely different from Milan's salary cut for him...

The more Changsheng thinks about it, the more he feels that this is possible.

And the most important point.

Letting Nesta go home is a "habit" of Changsheng himself.

This is still his "bad taste" when he played FM games before crossing.

That is, he likes to collect retired star coaches. When playing the game, as long as he hears that a well-known star is about to retire, Changsheng will add him to the list of attention. After he retires, he will watch it again. If he sees that he has the attributes of a coach, no matter how bad this attribute is, Changsheng will definitely dig him to be the coach of the team.

He doesn't ask them to help the team's training, but just put them in the coaching team to look good.

What Zidane, Kahn, Ronaldo, Maldini, Beckham... As long as these stars can become coaches, they have been dug into his account.

This is a habit of his. He did not change this habit after he came here. It is just because reality is not as easy to dig as in the game, so there are not many coaches like this around him, but they are all elites.

For example, Guardiola, such as Di Matteo.

These are retired players.

Changsheng has the same idea for Nesta.

Dig Nesta back and see if he has the potential to be a coach. If so, develop him in the direction of coaching.

Just like what he did to Guardiola.

It's just that he knew Guardiola's future achievements and he knew that Guardiola was suitable to be a head coach. And he didn't know if Nesta could.

But he was willing to give it a try. Even if he failed, he successfully brought Nesta back home before he retired. This alone was enough to offset the impact of failure.

Thinking of this, he picked up his mobile phone and called the club chairman Lotito.
