Chapter 804 Parma, who doesn't know how to trade
PS1: The network at home is unstable these two days, and there are often long-term outages. If there is no update on the day, it is not a eunuch. I will make up for it later. I will notify you here to inform you of the book friends...
PS2: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books do not require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~
Among the famous Serie A seven sisters, the six teams, such as the top three in the North, Florence and Rome, play the protagonist in the transfer market. In this huge transfer market, only they can poach others. The players who leave are basically sold by them on their own initiative, and there are very few cases of forced poaching by other teams.
The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, because after signing a huge broadcast contract with the TV station and reforming some of the league's commercial operations, the financial situation of each Serie A team has improved significantly compared with history, and can get rid of the situation where they need to rely on their boss to open their pockets to maintain their operations. With a large pocket, they naturally have the confidence to use high salaries to keep the players they value; on the other hand, because of the strong performance of Serie A teams (such as Vicenza, Fiorentina, Juventus, etc.) in the three major European Cups over the years, has made most people believe that the Serie A is the highest-level and most competitive football league in the world, and it deserves its title of "Small World Cup".
Although the final of the Champions League last season was between Manchester United and Bayern, this did not affect the reputation of Serie A. Because both Fiorentina and Juventus reached the semi-finals and were both unfortunately eliminated at the last moment, the fans only lamented the unluckyness of the two teams and did not think that Manchester United and Bayern were stronger than Fiorentina and Juventus in hard power. After all, when the two sides fought in the semi-finals, the two teams from Serie A were the ones who had the upper hand.
The salary and benefits in Europe are first-class, and the team's competitiveness is also the top in Europe. In this case, players who play for these teams generally do not think of leaving voluntarily. Of course, if it is for more playing time or if there are really rich people willing to give them several times the current salary, perhaps someone may consider changing jobs and changing to a new owner.
Fortunately, no guy like Abu Dhabi Consortium who does not regard money as money appeared at this time. Otherwise, the teams at the top of European football would never be able to escape the fate of being poached by the opponent.
However, such a grand scene has no relationship with the only one of the seven sisters in Serie A who has not been mentioned, that is, Parma, which is already completely controlled by Francesca Tanji. As the financial crisis within the Parmalat company became increasingly serious, the Tanji and his son had to frequently tamper with the accounts to avoid repeated reviews by accountants, so that Parmalat's losses of hundreds of millions of dollars were made public.
So, although Palmalat still looks extremely glamorous on the surface, in fact, this dairy giant is already a strong man on the outside and the middle. Not to mention providing Palma's large transfer funds to recruit strong aids like before, it is enough to make Francesca secretly glad that it does not care about the money it needs to fill the gap.
Therefore, when she completely lost the financial support of Parmalat, Francesca could only rely on TV broadcast fees, bonuses, tickets and other commercial peripheral incomes to maintain Parma's operations. Therefore, she had to change her business strategy and abandon the practice of introducing well-known stars since the team was promoted to Serie A, and instead began to buy those emerging semi-finished products and cultivate them, and then sell them at high prices to make profits. In this way, she ensures the team's combat effectiveness.
Under the guidance of this business strategy, Francesca first sold Croatian midfielder Stanic, who was constantly injured and had a high salary this summer, to Chelsea for 5.6 million pounds, and then sent the team's midfield organization core, Argentine Wizard Peron to Lazio head coach Eriksen, in exchange for 18 million euros in cash!
I have to say something here. When it comes to the club's business methods, Francesca's performance is indeed quite good. Under her leadership, Parma's income in the team has more than quadrupled compared to when she first took over; but in the transfer market, this female Tanji performed a little unqualified.
You should know that with the gradual rise of economic bubbles in recent years, players' transfer fees have shown a trend of rising. In addition, clubs such as AC Milan have been spilling money unscrupulously in the transfer market. The momentum of spending money like soil has allowed most teams to learn the essential skills of opening up the Lions when selling people.
However, as the actual controller of Parma, Francesca is obviously not very proficient in this skill.
Think about it, Florence spent a huge amount of US$30 million in order to introduce Shevchenko, and bought a Carlaze who could only play a substitute for Carlos. As a result, when Parma sold Peron, a world-class midfielder who had proved his ability in Serie A to Lazio, only sold 1,800 euros (about US$20 million), which was almost the same as the price when Lazio acquired Stankovic a year ago. This is a major mistake in Francesca's transfer decision.
For example, another deal that Parma and Lazio just made public was known to everyone. Cranioti would definitely invest all his money in order to enhance his strength for Lazio. In addition, the top three in the North are also looking for a reliable central defender and are willing to spend money. As a result, in this situation where many buyers can bid together, Francesca finally exchanged for only three million euros of cash when selling San Sini to Lazio.
Even if Saint-Sini is now a veteran who is about to turn 33, the price should be lower, but this price is too outrageous, right?
You should know that this veteran made great contributions to the Argentine national team's entry into the quarterfinals of the World Cup last year. Last season, as the main central defender, he also entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League with the team and achieved a good result of fourth place in the league. Judging from his performance on the court alone, the Argentine's transfer fee is far more than the three million euros.
What's more, Lazio is now in urgent need of strengthening the central defender position. Although the configuration of Grandoni, Couto and Mihailovic is good, it is still slightly insufficient in the third-line battle. Therefore, this should have been a chance for Parma to beat Lazio, but it was easily thrown away by Francesca.
Therefore, Francesca's performance was obviously not qualified in selling people. She still has a long way to explore and learn from it and truly grow up.
