Little Lippi spends half of his time recently in China.

On the one hand, he wanted to be with his parents, and on the other hand, he wanted to know more about Chinese football, so he could be seen in various stadiums on every match day.

For Europeans, how to distinguish Chinese people is a big problem.

But now that Lippi has done this business, he must try his best to overcome these problems. After more than a year of contact with Chinese football, he can already distinguish Chinese players very well.

When he and Moggi founded the brokerage company that almost monopolized Italy, although there were factors from their fathers involved, their own abilities were also indispensable.

However, since their company collapsed due to the "phone scandal", they parted ways.

Little Lippi never mentioned to Xiao Qi that little Moji should come over to help with the team's recruitment tasks.

This is a conflict of interests.

Little Lippi's success in China is all due to his father's contribution. Little Moji has no credit at all, so why should he get a share of the pie?

However, Lippi still has many friends in Italy. Watching him prosper in China, and watching his operation, Nesta and Pirlo receive super high salaries of 10 million euros.

Stars who feel that they are still young have contacted Lippi one after another to see if there is a chance to join the Shuchuan Fairies.

For them, joining a team coached by Lippi and featuring Ronaldo, Figo, Beckham, Pirlo, Nesta and Kahn is definitely not a derogation, but an honor.

Similar ideas are shared by many European clubs, but many of them do not have access to Lippi.

Lippi declined most of these self-recommended stars.

He knows Xiao Qi’s thoughts on football best. Unless you are a world-class superstar, otherwise the Sichuan Fairy Team doesn’t want it at all. Ordinary players and young players can just rely on domestic players. Anyway, they can often play with superstars.

After training, you will gradually be able to take the lead. But when you ordinary stars come over, apart from occupying the positions that should be occupied by Chinese people and squeezing the playing time of their young people, what is the use?

But there was one person who was really moved.

That is the eternal zebra prince Del Piero!

Del Piero's status in Juventus is higher than that of Baggio back then. This superstar who has played in Juventus all his life has never won the Ballon d'Or or Footballer of the Year, but whether in Italy or in

They all have a lofty status in global football.

Del Piero, who is about to turn 36 this year, had very unsuccessful contract renewal negotiations with Juventus. Juventus even wanted to get rid of this already very old player to free up more salary to recruit young players.

A new star, so Piero felt a little cold-hearted and began to find his own way out.

When he was at Juventus, Piero was Lippi's friend, and the two had always had a good relationship, so Piero's agent asked Lippi to come here.

The Sichuan Fairy Team already has a striker, and Ronaldo, the world's top player, is more famous and powerful than Del Piero, but Ronaldo has more injuries. He can play up to 20 games a year, and he doesn't even play all the games.

That kind of field.

Although Piero is older than Ronaldo, he lives a very self-disciplined life and is in good competitive shape.

If there is one more superstar like him on the front line, the Sichuan Fairy team's offensive power will definitely be enhanced by three points.

However, there are two problems when Piero comes to the Sichuan Fairy Team.

It's not about salary. The world's richest man with over 700 billion US dollars in assets. Even if he buys 11 superstars, each with a salary of 10 million euros, there will be no pressure at all.

First, because Del Piero is not a superstar like the Ballon d'Or or Footballer of the Year after all, Xiao Qi will definitely hesitate.

You have to say that Kahn, Nesta, Pirlo and Beckham have never won the honor of European or World Footballer, but Kahn was the first to come to Sichuan Fairy Team. And he is also the goalkeeper, and the goalkeeper won

It seems that the only Footballer of the Year is Yashin of the former Soviet Union, right? But if there is a Footballer of the Year among goalkeepers, Kahn has won it countless times.

Nesta and Pirlo's position is not easy to win the Footballer of the Year, but they were brought by Lippi and are crucial superstars to the team. Xiao Qi naturally agrees.

Not to mention the remaining Beckham. His face is enough to make fans buy him. His popularity is so great that it far exceeds the football circle. Do you think Xiao Qi is willing to pay for him?

Del Piero is a first-class superstar on the Apennine Peninsula, but after all, he lacks the domineering power of riding a thousand horses, the heroism of leading Italy forward like Baggio, who almost won the World Cup, and the heroism of someone like Baggio.

Ronaldo has the spirit to stop and kill the gods, so after all, he does not have the same achievements as them.

Moreover, Piero is 36 years old this year, and how many years he can maintain his condition is a question. This is also what Xiao Qi will be worried about.

After thinking about it and hesitating, Xiao Lipi decided to invite Xiao Qi to dinner and told Xiao Qi about it.

"Pierrot!" Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, nodded and then shook his head, "If it were Piero four years ago before Calciopoli, I would definitely poach him, but now I'm worried about maintaining his competitive status.

It won't be long. You have to know that forwards are not midfielders and backcourt players, and their careers are the shortest."

Figo is about the same age as Del Piero, but Figo can rely on his superior skills, passing and organization, such a smart way of playing. In China, he can play until he is at least 40 years old, but Del Piero is not

Not a midfielder, but a charging forward, so he needs better physical strength and better skills, which is why he cannot be too old.

Unless it's Inzaghi, Xiao Qi can still consider it. After all, this guy is a natural offside genius standing in the penalty area. He doesn't even need to run much. He can lead the team with his keen sense of smell.

Come to victory.

Another reason is that Xiao Qi feels that there are too few good forwards in China. If he doesn't train a few, he will only have midfielders and backcourt players in the future. How can he compete with the strong teams in Asia and even the world's strong teams?

Ronaldo and Del Piero have somewhat similar characteristics, both rely on sprinting and skills to score goals.

If he still needs to find a world superstar for the front line, Xiao Qi hopes to find a strong and brutal forward like Drogba, Falcao, Tevez, so that he can teach different types of forwards.

Seeing Xiao Qi's resolute attitude, little Lippi was smart enough not to mention Piero's matter again.

He turned to another topic, "Qi Shao. When it comes to the football industry, Chinese football is really lagging behind. I wonder if you have any intention of buying an Italian football team for fun?"

Yes.

For rich people like Xiao Qi, buying a sports team is just a pastime, and there is no idea of ​​making money through sports.

Italian football in the 1990s was known as the Little World Cup. It was much stronger than the current Premier League and La Liga, so it also cultivated so many Serie A fans in China.

But Italian football is not good now. After experiencing the Calciopoli, it feels like it is in a state of collapse. More importantly, Italy's economy is very sluggish, and it is one of the countries that suffered heavy losses in the European debt crisis, so they

The attractiveness of the league is becoming increasingly insufficient.

Even if Inter Milan wins the Champions League this year, it will not be able to reverse the overall decline of Italian football.

Therefore, the bosses involved in football in Italy are becoming less and less willing to invest money. Usually Italian football clubs are barely able to survive. The only ones that are famous are the three or four teams.

Many Serie A clubs are looking for buyers at home and abroad. It is reasonable for someone to find Xiao Lippi through connections and ask him to help matchmaking, and they want Xiao Qi to acquire them.

Xiao Qi smiled brightly upon hearing this, "Serie A? Which team?"

"What do you think of Fiorentina? It was Batistuta's team before." Lippi said with a shy smile, "This team is very well-established. Now there are several good prospects. I believe that as long as you

If you invest a little money, you will soon be able to make a name for yourself.”

Florence?

Xiao Qi's impression of it was indeed stuck in the era of Batistuta. As for what achievements it would have achieved after that, Xiao Qi was not sure.

But what is certain is that Fiorentina will not be able to get up in the future and will still be just a mid-level team.

Xiao Qi sighed and said, "David, we are friends, and I won't keep it to myself. I will say that you have too many shortcomings in Italian football, and some of them have even been raised to your country's policies. These shortcomings have

If things don't change, I'm afraid Italian football won't be able to rise again.

In my opinion, if the super high salary tax rate of 50% cannot be changed, the team cannot have its own home court, and the team cannot have the opportunity to negotiate for television broadcasts, I will definitely not invest in it. Because it is certain

They are all losing money. Although I don’t care about the money, I still have to act like a business when doing business. I can’t lose money all the time, right?”

Little Lippi suddenly smiled bitterly.

Of course he knows how bad Italian football is.

If Italian football hadn't been so bad, Lippi wouldn't have been canonized as a god after he led a group of sad soldiers and won the World Cup. In such a harsh environment, if you can lead a team to win the championship, then you are

Talent is a championship coach! He is much better than leading the Brazilian team to win the championship!

If there was even a chance, Lippi would not choose to leave Italy to coach.

If it were still Italy in the 1990s, Lippi would have had good salary, good treatment, and good players wherever he coached in the Seven Sisters of Serie A.

But it doesn’t work anymore. The major shortcomings Xiao Qi mentioned are the biggest obstacles restricting the development of Italian football. If they are not solved well, it will be impossible for good investors to invest in Italian football.

This is not just a problem for Italian football. For example, the tax rate for Italian players is equivalent to their salary. If you give a player a salary of 10 million, you still have to pay 10 million to the country. Who doesn't feel sad?

There are also Italian laws that stipulate that teams cannot own their own stadium at all. They can't even maximize their game-day income, and they can't build the stadium according to their own wishes. This is nonsense!

Finally, regarding the issue of television broadcasting, the broadcasting fee for Serie A is really too low, because the broadcasting rights are fixedly bought out by government-controlled TV stations, and then they sell them to other countries, which is equivalent to making money from these TV stations.

Serie A teams can't make money, so how can they support the team?

Various problems and narrow-mindedness have almost plunged Italian football into an abyss.

If Xiao Qi really joins an Italian team, I believe he will not get any benefits.

That’s why the world’s richest man refused so simply!
