The Era of Emerald

The reason why Zhuang Mingge recommended Prandelli was after many considerations.

The first point is that Prandelli played in the Juventus club during his player era, and experienced the most glorious period of the Bianconeri. He won many championship honors with famous stars such as Platini and Zoff.This kind of resume is enough to give him the confidence to suppress the young and energetic young people of the national youth team. If there is no accident, Tardelli will continue to serve as the assistant coach of the youth team. Prandelli, who has been a teammate of Deli, will not have too much friction in his coaching work.

Second, in Zhuang Minge's memory, Prandelli was very good at cultivating young players. When he was coaching the Atlanta youth team, he contributed new stars like Morfeo to Italian football. When the team fell into an economic crisis, it has trained countless newcomers for the Milk Corps, such as Mutu, Adriano, Gilardino, Bonera, Marchionne... I believe many fans will be impressed by these names.

Well, although these players did not reach the heights that people expected due to various reasons, it is true that these players did show their strength under Prandelli.

Later, when Prandelli coached Fiorentina and the Italian national team, he also successively discovered many new stars, such as Jovetic, Jaccherini, etc., all of which became famous under Prandelli.

Thirdly, as an Italian, Prandelli naturally has a considerable understanding of Italy's housekeeping skills and defensive counterattack tactics. Coupled with the assistance of old Maldini's assistant Tardelli in the National Youth Team for many years, I believe that the National Youth Team The results will not fluctuate too much due to the change of coach.

Moreover, Prandelli's tactics are not as rigid as many of his peers. In many cases, he will choose the appropriate tactics according to the actual situation of the team, instead of sticking to a formation and forcing players into it. .

In other words, Prandelli belongs to the kind of master player who can make a straight and even pair when he catches a hand of numbered cards, which makes people dizzy. , I should add another sentence, that is, if this guy holds an old K preserved egg, he will think about how to beat others and double the spring.

But it's a pity that his opponent, Bosque, had four aces and 2s in his hands, so he knocked Pu Shuai to his knees on the spot...

Mo Laohu, the representative of Juventus at this meeting, was also helping at this time. This was not because Moji suddenly changed his mind and planned to show his favor to Zhuang Mingge, but because the Juventus imprint on Prandelli made Mo Laohu think that this was the case. If someone becomes the head coach of the national youth team, it can bring a lot of benefits to the Bianconeri. At least through Prandry's relationship, some good youngsters in the Juventus team can gain more game experience.

In this way, with the support of Zhuang Mingge and Moji, and the acquiescence of others, Chairman Perot finally agreed to hire Cesare Prandelli, the head coach of the Atlanta youth team, as the coach of the Italian youth team.

Thanks to Zhuang Mingge's reputation over the years, whether it is a player or a head coach, Zhuang Mingge has never experienced a loss in the introduction of his own decisions. His vicious vision has also become famous throughout Europe following Fiorentina's triple crown last season.That's why Pero was able to agree with Zhuang Mingge's recommendation. The old man also thought in his heart that Zhuang Mingge's vision of people would be right.

Immediately after the meeting, Perot took action.

Maldini, who just led the national youth team to complete the three consecutive European Youth Championships and brought back the first Olympic gold medal for Italian football, did not say anything after receiving the news that the Italian Football Association invited him to be promoted to the national team coach. Any additional conditions, immediately signed his name on a new work contract.If nothing else, the 64-year-old Italian star will lead the national team to participate in the World Cup in France two years later and the first European Cup in the new century.

Here, Zhuang Mingge sincerely hopes that the old Maldini's team will not be as sad as it has been in history after two years...

As for the signing of Prandelli, it was quite easy. The Atlanta club did not obstruct it, and Prandelli himself was very excited after learning that the Italian Football Association intends to invite him to be the coach of the national youth team. At this time, he, who is not well-known in Italy, can be called by the Italian Football Association, which is already a great thing for his ancestors to smoke.

Therefore, Prandelli, who was not yet in his forties, quickly signed his name on a two-year work contract.

With such a resume, even if he resigns from the national youth team in the future, many teams will invite him to coach, Prandelli, who signed this contract, thought happily.

……

Three days later, major sports newspapers in Italy published a news at the same time: The Italian Football Association officially announced that Cesar Maldini, the head coach of the Italian youth team and Olympic team, will replace Arango Sacchi, who has resigned. Li took over the coach of the national team and led the Italian national team to the honor of the World Cup and European Cup in the next four years!

At the same time, the Football Association also announced another piece of news, that is, the head coach of the Atlanta youth team, Cesare Prandelli, will replace the old Maldini as the head coach of the national youth team, but this news is naturally not coached by the old Maldini. The national team is attractive to fans and reporters, but it was quickly submerged in the tide of this era of information explosion.

The first thing the old Maldini did after taking office was not to visit his old club AC Milan, but to call Zhuang Mingge directly.

After some brief politeness, the elder Maldini quickly got to the point: "Antonio, this is my first time coaching the Italian national team. I would like to express my respect to you on behalf of Arango for his actions against Fiorentina. Apologies, and hope we enjoy working together in the years to come."

Obviously, the old Maldini is also worried that the unhappiness that Fiorentina had with Sacchi before will have a negative impact on his future national team building policy.

After all, in the eyes of old Maldini, these young people in the Fiorentina team will be the pillars of Italian football in the next few years. Even Juventus, which has always been known as the talent base of the Italian national team, is inferior. If Florence has a good relationship, it will inevitably suffer a lot of constraints in the formation of troops in the future.

It just so happened that Zhuang Mingge also wanted to build a good relationship with the other party, and expressed great kindness to the old Maldini's overtures. At the same time, he assured the old coach that the Fiorentina club would fully support the work of the national team in the next few years and serve Italy. The development of football contributes its own strength.

In the end, both sides of this call were happy.
