Chapter 253 Sicily!
Li Ang sat in the seat by the window with a smile on his face.
He thought of telling his parents about his girlfriend at the dinner table two days ago, and telling Alice's situation to both elders and elders.
His father Li Guodong was a little surprised. His father, who had some traditional ideas, seemed a little unsatisfied with his son finding a foreign girlfriend.
However, Li Ang’s mother was only happy. She didn’t care whether her son was looking for a Chinese girlfriend or a foreigner, as long as she was her daughter-in-law.
After learning about Alice's life experience from Li Ang, my mother almost burst into tears. The siblings and sisters have been orphans since childhood. When they are not in good health, they can still make money to support their families and raise their younger brother. What's even more rare is that although this girl was born in a slum, she was not stained with the mud and did not go the wrong way. This is not easy.
Li Ang’s mother felt a little sorry for Alice, and she felt a lot of affection for the girl she had never met and felt pity for her.
Even Li Guodong's attitude towards Alice has improved. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes people's hearts and human nature. This is true for Li Guodong. His son's girlfriend is persevering, responsible, and has a good character. This is very good.
Then, Li Ang's mother became more concerned about Alice's condition and issued an order to her husband that she must study Alice's case well and strive to find the root cause of this poor girl, so that she can be treated and cured as soon as possible.
Then, in the next two days, Li Ang was entangled by his mother. His mother always asked questions: How did you meet? How long have you been talking? Well, where have you reached? You kid, don’t be shy, tell mom...
The plane was already ten thousand meters above the altitude. Li Ang looked at the white clouds outside the window and shook his head with a smile. These memories made him feel good, and his parents' attitude towards Alice made him very happy.
I believe that Alice knew his parents' attitude, and the girl would be very happy, Li Ang thought with a smile.
The happiest love that can be blessed by elders.
************
The flight Li Ang took was to Rome, the capital of Italy, and then a transfer from Rome to Sicily, Italy.
Palermo, the largest city in the Gulf of Beibu, Sicily, is its ultimate destination.
Palermo, the capital of Sicily, Italy, is located in the northwest of Sicily. Sicily is located in the southwest of the Apennine Peninsula, on the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is the football on the leather boots stretching to the Mediterranean Sea. It is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is vast and rich, with a warm climate and beautiful scenery, and is rich in citrus, lemons and olives. Due to its good natural environment for developing agriculture and forestry, it is historically called the "Golden Basin". Palermo's historic buildings do not have a magnificent and proud appearance, and are characterized by the coexistence of buildings of Norman, Byzantine and *******. Some buildings also have strong Arabic colors, such as cylinders and wall carvings. Italian writer Dante praised it as "the most beautiful city in the world". Famous attractions include Sicily and the cathedral in Palemo.
Of course, Li Ang did not come here for a trip. He doesn't have time to stroll around and enjoy his life now. Sporting Gijon will officially start training in ten days. Li Ang needs to take advantage of these ten days to make up for the team's lineup.
This time, Li Ang’s goal is the Palermo Club. To be precise, he came here to poach.
The Palermo Football Club was founded in 1900 and was known as the Anglo Panomide and Football Club. Before it formed a certain scale and became the top club in the Sicily region, the club changed its name many times. In its team history, the Palermo Football Club participated in all levels of professional leagues in Italy and competed in the Italian League One from the 1960s to the early 1970s, winning three runner-ups in the Italian Cup.
The team won the Italian Football League championship this season, and returned to the Serie A after decades.
In this Palermo team, it can be said that it is full of talents, and it is the cumulative eruption of Palermo's dormant Serie B for many years.
The team has Lucatoni, Barzali, Zaccardo, and Grosso, and they even have four Italian internationals.
Such a team is just a Spanish Second Division team, which is more precisely a Serie A team that has so many Italian internationals next season, which is enough to shock everyone.
Among them, high center forward Luca Toni is the late winner. This big-selling center who has been unknown has suddenly exploded in Palermo this season. He scored 30 goals in the Serie B League. He is the scorer king of Serie B and the number one hero Palermo has returned to Serie A.
Lucatoni's sudden outbreak has made many Serie A teams interested in this big center. Parma and Fiorentina are now observing the 27-year-old Palermo center.
Lucatoni has an amazing deterrence in the penalty area. Such a high center forward can be said to be a giant if he is in the La Liga. His advantage and deterrence in the penalty area will be a nightmare for many teams.
However, Li An knew that Lucatoni was not something he could seduce. Palermo Chairman Zamparini regarded Tony as Palermo's treasure and would not be sold easily unless it was a offer that Palermo could not refuse. However, this was obviously something that Li Ang and Sporting Gijon could not do, and they did not have that much money.
Li Ang targets the three in Palermo's Italian fringe international defense cluster, Barzali, Zaccardo, and Grosso.
If to be more precise, his target is Grosso in the left-back position.
************
After Jeffrey transferred to Porto, Li Ang’s biggest headache was the left-back position, which ranked first in his reinforcement ranking.
Regarding the position of the left-back, Li Ang did not plan to dig out those little demons of seventeen or eighteen years old this time. The La Liga are cruel. If he dares to use the teenage guys who have never had the experience in the top league in the position of the full-back, he will definitely be beaten by his opponents, and even die miserably.
Therefore, Li Ang’s plan is to introduce players who are in their prime, so how can they be used?
However, the problem arises. Those players who are in their prime, who have some strength, are already famous for their worth, and are not affordable to Sporting Gijon.
At this time, Li Ang was watching the replay of the European Cup at home. When he heard Huang Jianxiang's familiar voice, Li Ang's first reaction was why this guy was still on CCTV. Then he thought of the "commentary gate" that eventually led to Huang Jianxiang leaving CCTV. It had not happened yet. It was during the 2006 World Cup.
Thinking of this later famous "commentary" Li Ang's name immediately popped up in his mind: Fabio Grosso!
‘Great left back’ Grosso!
Is Grosso a top full-back? If you look at this player's career, Grosso is not, his highlights were just those three or five years.
Palermo became famous in the 2003/2004 season, and then became famous in the 2006 World Cup. He transferred to Serie A giant Inter Milan in the summer, and was incredible. Then... in the two seasons after the World Cup, Grosso's condition declined sharply.
Therefore, overall, Grosso is not a top full-back who can be entrusted with long-term reuse.
However, that was after 2006. Li Ang doesn't need to think so far now. He only knows that the next two seasons are Grosso's highest moment of glory. If he can dig this Italian left-back, he will be worried about his left side!
It's great that the highlights of the great left-back's two seasons dedicated to the great rejuvenation cause of Sporting Gijon.
As for what to do after 2006? With the highlight of the World Cup, if Grosso wants to take action at that time, he will never have to worry about not having any wealthy families to buy or not selling at a high price. Well, the worst thing is that, isn’t there anyone who takes over?
Well, in Li Ang’s heart, Grosso is the excessiveness of Sporting Gijon in the left-back position, but the excessive two years are very critical. Grosso, a player, can almost be said to be tailor-made for Li Ang.
Of course, first of all, he needs to be able to handle this transfer.
************
Li Ann analyzed that among the Italian internationals in Palermo, Palermo Chairman Zamparini attaches great importance to Lucatoni, then the central defender combination of Barzali and Zaccardo, and finally Grosso.
Of course, this is not to say that Zamparini does not value Grosso, it is just a relative concept: Grosso is better off poaching compared to the other few people.
You should know that in 2006, Inter Milan bought the left-wing player before Grosso became famous in the World Cup. Although there was no factor in the World Cup fame, considering Grosso's highlight performance in Serie A and the League Cup in 2004/2005 and 2005/2006, he only sold 5.5 million euros, which also shows that Palermo Chairman Zamparini did not pay enough attention to Grosso.
5.5 million euros are the price after two seasons. Now, Grosso has just played a good goal in the Spanish Second Division for one season. He was not valued in Perugia before and his fame has not yet risen. Therefore, Li Ang feels that he has the opportunity to buy at a low price...
So he came to Palermo.
When Leon arrived at the capital of Sicily, a fax came to the office of Zamparini, the chairman of the Palermo Club.
A Spanish team called Sporting Gijon packaged a bid for three players from Palermo.
Luca Tony, quote 4 million euros!
Barzali + Zaccardo, package price of 5 million euros.
After reading this sudden quotation, Zamparini was stunned. Sporting Gijon? Where did the club emerge? Of course, this is not important. What matters is our Tony, Zaccardo and Barzali, these three Italian internationals. The former is the Serie B Golden Boot. You actually only paid 4 million euros? There are also Zaccardo and Barzali, the package price is only 5 million euros. The three players combined are less than 10 million euros. Are you teasing me? What are you teasing me?
Zamparini threw the quote directly into the trash can.
However, two minutes later, Zamparini picked up the quotation from the trash can, her eyes flashing.
************
Almost at the same time, Li Ang stayed in a hotel in Palermo, and after a short rest, he started to be busy. He planned to contact the players directly. Although he was banned from contacting the players directly, he was banned by UEFA and would later be punished severely. However, it was only 2004, and the management of this aspect was still quite chaotic. Moreover, the head coach directly contacted the players, which is almost an open secret in football.
If a monk touches it, the Taoist priest can naturally touch it.
