Chapter 162 Carve up Ajax (Part 1)

Leaving school today, so it's late to update

"So, does Fiorentina want to loan the players they are in the match to Ajax for free?" Chairman Yak emphasized the word "free" when he spoke, for fear that Zhuang Mingge would suddenly repent.

"Eugenio Corini, and Giuliano Giannikeda." Zhuang Mingge thought for a while and gave two candidates.

"This... I think we still need to discuss it with head coach Van Gaal." At this time, Yak also chose to forget the quarrel with Van Gaal just now and gave such an answer, "If our coach has no objection, then this loan transaction can be reached."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, Chairman Yak." Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been completed, Zhuang Mingge stopped talking nonsense, stood up and said goodbye, and left the Ajax Club.

"Wait a minute, Michelle (Van Plage)." In Ajax's chairman's office, Yak suddenly called out Van Plage who was about to leave.

"Is there anything I have to do, Mr. Chairman?" Van Prager stopped, feeling uneasy. Could it be that he had exceeded his authority when he was just talking to the Florentines?

"If Fiorentina sends a contact in a few days and convinces the players to agree to continue their work in Ajax on loan, I will entrust you with it."

"Mr. Chairman, this..." Van Prag was stunned. This work should belong to the transfer department!

Before Van Prag's words were finished, Yak raised his hand to stop his speech and said: "Although I have made irreversible mistakes in regulating internal relationships of the club and treating players of color, I can see that in this era, only those who are smart and capable and capable and understandable can support the future Ajax... If the club can be saved from the abyss this time, the position of this chairman is yours."

As he said that, Chairman Yak smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "Maybe you have been dissatisfied with my stinginess, right? But don't forget that although Ajax is a wealthy family in the Netherlands, in general, it is a club that relies on training players and then resells it at a high price to maintain operations. If I didn't do this, the team would have collapsed due to poor management."

"How is it possible..."

"This is indeed true. Michelle, you have never been exposed to the financial aspects of the club. Every year the club sells players' income needs to be used to update equipment, maintain the venue, and cultivate players... These expenses have almost spent the club's income. It is impossible to pay high salaries to players like the giants in the four major leagues."

"...I understand, Mr. Chairman." Van Prager replied after a moment of silence.

...

Let’s talk about Zhuang Mingge. After leaving Ajax’s headquarters, Zhuang Mingge called Antonioni and asked him to ask if Colini and Jannikeda would like to join Ajax on loan.

"Tony, what players are we targeting when we come to the Netherlands this time?" Karin asked when he saw Zhuang Mingge put down the cell phone in his hand.

Zhuang Mingge considered it. Fiorentina has now sent away two midfielders, Corini and Giannikeda, and Montera on the front line, and will soon be transferred. In this case, Fiorentina, which originally had a good bench depth, has left a lot of vacancy in the midfield frontcourt, especially the substitutes in the midfield, with only Costa, Tacinadi and Tomasi. Fiorentina will have to fight on the third line next season. If you rely on such a weak bench, you will have to collapse across the board.

Speaking of this generation of Ajax players of color, many of them can be described as "opening high and closing low", and the most typical of them is Patrick Cruivet.

Cruivet's height, strength, explosive power, bounce, flexibility and good speed. He can make many difficult ball control and scramble on the court. His kicking style is extremely tough and he is not afraid of high-intensity physical confrontation. He is an all-round technical center with technical characteristics that meet the requirements of modern football.

But in Cruivet's career, in addition to the applause and flowers that came with goals, there were also rape cases that were frequently seen in newspapers, driving violations, nightclub carnivals and even fighting. His unscrupulous attitude towards life and unserious training made Cruivet basically in a state of being old. As a result, in 2004, when it was supposed to be the peak of his career, the 28-year-old Cruivet was already a member of the crowd and was involved in the mid-range teams of the four major leagues. Four years later, he retired in disgrace.

The same is true for others, such as Canu, Finiti George, Reziger and others. They had some highlights before 2000, but after 2000, their free and casual lifestyle and lazy training attitude wiped out their talents bit by bit.

Overall, among these players of color in Ajax, the only players who can be called "Boar" Davis and Seedorf are the ones who have started and ended well.

Davis showed his top competitive state during his time at Juventus and Barcelona, ​​and knew that he gradually withdrew from the fans' attention due to his age; not to mention Seidorf, as the main player, he won the European Champions League championship on behalf of three different teams. He was able to play in AC Milan at the age of 35, which is enough to show his professional attitude.

Judging from the players' personal abilities and potential, Seidov and Davis are obviously a little higher than Korini and Giannikeda. In addition, the current Serie A has unparalleled appeal, and Fiorentina and Ajax can participate in the European Championship next season, which can provide these former Ajax players with an opportunity to "revenge" and have a certain advantage in attracting these players to join. Therefore, Zhuang Mingge's main goal for coming to Ajax this time is these two players.

"First visit Edgar Davis and see what kind of attitude he has towards joining us in Florence. If possible, sign with him now; then we will go to Clarence Siddorf." Zhuang Mingge thought about it and made his own judgment.

So, Zhuang Mingge asked Karin to take out the residence address of the Ajax player he got from Chairman Yak, found Davis' information, and then drove directly to visit his first target to the Netherlands - Edgar Davis.

PS: Yesterday the editor asked if we wanted to put it on the shelves. We considered it but refused. After all, we didn’t expect to make money when writing this book. Every day, readers and friends remember to vote for us after reading the chapters. Moreover, we will be working next month. If we get busy, the update will not be very stable. If the performance after putting it on the shelves is like this, it will probably be a slap [laugh]
Chapter completed!
