Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After getting the new youth training director, Yang Luo was not idle. He brought Bernstein to Belgium again. This time, he was going to buy Manchester City's real flagship player, Vincent Kompany. This is the future captain of Manchester City, a real man of iron and blood. Except for too many injuries in the later stage of his career, he is really a rare leader. Yang Luo will always remember that in the season when Manchester City won the Premier League for the first time, it was Kompany's header in the second round of the Manchester derby that helped Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0, thus sounding the horn of Manchester City's reversal. It can be said that this central defender is not only strong in defense, but also unambiguous in offense. So, he is a player that Yang Luo must take down. Kompany is now 18 years old. If he is not bought this year, he will not be able to become a youth player.

So they came to Anderlecht.

Facing a Premier League team like Manchester City, which is at the level of the Champions League, Anderlecht will definitely not be able to keep Kompany.

So the communication at the club level was very smooth. They quickly accepted the offer of 6 million pounds. As long as Kompany nodded, the transfer could be completed.

But when communicating with Kompany himself, Yang Luo and Bernstein encountered problems.

Kompany shook his head at them: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Bernstein, Manchester City is indeed a big club, but your first team seems to be overcrowded now. I am afraid I will not have many opportunities to play in your team."

Yang Luo suddenly realized a problem. Kompany has already had many appearances in the Anderlecht first team. It is naturally impossible for him to come to Manchester City to play in the youth team.

When he thought of this, he immediately said: "I promise you that you will be on the first-team roster in the new season."

Kompany still did not give in: "Mr. Yang, there are five to six players who can play as central defenders in Manchester City's first team now. I think even if I join the first team, I am afraid I will not have many opportunities."

Yang Luo couldn't help laughing in his heart. This kid is trying to defeat me.

But of course he couldn't let this 18-year-old boy control him like this, so he just looked at him steadily until Kompany felt a little scared: "Mr. Yang, if you can ensure my position, I think I am willing to join Manchester City..."

Yang Luo smiled: "Wait for me for a while."

He walked out of the room, took out his mobile phone and called Van Gaal: "Mr. Van Gaal, if you want to give up one person from the central defenders of the first team, who would you choose?"

Van Gaal thought for a while: "Chiellini. He doesn't seem to have found it yet. The feeling of playing in the Premier League. "

Yang Luo nodded: "I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, he walked into the room: "Vincent, I promise you that I will let one of the central defenders leave the team before the start of the new season to make room for you."

Kompany looked at his agent and finally nodded: "Okay, Mr. Yang, I am willing to join Manchester City."

Yang Luo smiled: "Welcome to Manchester City."

Finally, Kompany and Manchester City reached a four-year contract with a weekly salary of 15,000 pounds.

After Kompany was settled, Yang Luo and Bernstein returned to Manchester City to settle the deal for Chiellini.

Chiellini's performance last season was very mediocre, maybe he would be better off in a different environment.

Of course, Yang Luo did not want to give up on him completely. In his mind, it would be good to rent him somewhere else to practice.

Even if he could not return to Manchester City to play as a main player after practicing, he could still be sold at a high price.

So he asked Bernstein to call Chiellini.

Chiellini also knew that he had not fully integrated into the team last season, so he also accepted the proposal of changing the environment.

So Bernstein began to recommend Chiellini to Serie A teams to see if there were any willing to rent him.

If no one was willing to rent, they would put Chiellini in their satellite club Givisente.

However, after Bernstein released the news that Chiellini could be rented, two teams immediately expressed interest in Chiellini.

One is Fiorentina and the other is Juventus.

This is the same trajectory as Chiellini's history.

Yang Luo did not hesitate and let Chiellini negotiate with them.

A day later, Chiellini reached an agreement with Fiorentina.

He will join Fiorentina on loan for one season, and Fiorentina will bear 100% of his

's salary.

Originally, Florence wanted to add a buyout clause of 8 million euros, but Yang Luo did not agree.

Chiellini's value in his prime is far more than this number.

As long as he can accumulate some experience points in Serie A, there is no problem in selling him for tens of millions of euros!

On June 10, 2004, Manchester City announced two deals at the same time.

18-year-old Belgian central defender Kompany joined the team and signed a four-year contract.

And the 20-year-old Italian central defender Chiellini joined Florence on loan.

This in and out made Manchester City's defense line change again.

However, on this day, the entire English football world was attracted by another piece of news.

Chelsea officially announced that the team's head coach Ranieri officially left the team.

The Italian, who has coached for nearly four years, has actually achieved good results. He has helped Chelsea stabilize in the top four for two consecutive years, giving the team greater exposure and attention.

But Abramovich's ambition obviously does not stop there. What he needs is a head coach who can help him win the championship!

Therefore, Ranieri's departure became inevitable.

On the third day after Ranieri left, Chelsea once again officially announced that the Portuguese Jose Mourinho, who had just led Porto to win the Champions League, officially became the team's head coach!

This is another thunder that shook the entire European football world.

The 41-year-old Portuguese coach is now the hottest head coach in Europe, but he was unexpectedly robbed by Abramovich!

At the press conference for Mourinho's joining, he immediately made all reporters realize his uniqueness.

When a reporter asked him why he chose Chelsea, the man looked serious: "Because I am not a mediocre person, I am the special one."

This sentence immediately became the front-page headline of all sports newspapers.

Everyone has a different opinion of this unruly man, but they all know that this man is indeed a madman!

Everyone is waiting to see what he can achieve in Chelsea.

Only Yang Luo knew how terrible this Portuguese man was, and he also knew what this Portuguese man would bring to the entire Premier League.

After hearing the news, he just smiled helplessly and said to himself: "Next season's Premier League will be interesting!"
