Chapter 184 Pointing to Wenger

"Haha, Antonio, I knew you would come here!" The next day, Zhuang Mingge, who appeared at the Monaco Club training base, was warmly welcomed by the team's head coach Wenger.

Don't wonder why Wenger is so enthusiastic. When Zhuang Mingge came here for the first time more than a year ago, although he took away the team's offensive core Djokav, this is nothing to Wenger, who has long been accustomed to Monaco's "reselling players". After all, Monaco has always sold the main players during his coaching time, and the "gift" given to him by Zhuang Mingge in private made Wenger, who is good at coaching young players, feel extremely happy. This made Wenger, who has always valued young people, attract Zhuang Mingge as his confidant.

"Antonio, thanks to your phone call to remind me to pay attention to the movement of the Boseman case, otherwise Monaco would have followed Ajax's footsteps and was completely eaten by those hungry wolves." The reason why Monaco's contract renewal was so fast and efficient was mainly because Zhuang Mingge called Wenger in June this year to remind him to pay attention to the Boseman case being tried in the European Court of Justice.

"Haha, where is this? Arsena, we have such a good relationship. How could I forget to remind you of such a thing?" Zhuang Mingge said with a smile. He had high respect for Wenger, the head coach who made Arsenal a strong team by himself.

"By the way, you came to Monaco this time not just to watch the Super Cup in Fiorentina?" Wenger pulled Zhuang Mingge aside intimately, just standing outside Groz's listening range. "Tell me, which player you like this time, as long as the price is right, it's okay. I'll convince the players!"

"Of course, it would be great if you could recommend a few more players to me." At the end, Wenger added in a low voice.

Haha, Wenger, you are like a middle-aged man who is so handsome. Zhuang Mingge, who is sweating all over the head, twitches at the corner of his mouth, listening to Wenger's unruly remarks, and thought to himself.

"Well, Arcena, I'm sorry, it's not our Fiorentina who wants to introduce Monaco players this time." Even though he complains, it's better to talk about the serious business first, so that someone will come and interrupt and forget it later. "You also know that Fiorentina's lineup is quite neat now, and there is a reliable substitute in each position. If you buy someone from you, you have to go to Frankie to sit on the bench."

"Oh? Then Antonio, what else is there for you to come here this time?" Wenger asked curiously.

"Yes, you should know too, Arcena, what happened to Juventus's bid for Tulam and Battz."

"What? Antonio, are you going to be a lobbyist for Juventus and advise me to sell these two players to them?" Wenger felt a little surprised. No matter what, Juventus is Fiorentina's main competitor in the league. There is no need for this Fiorentina president to do such a move!

"Do you think they can resist the call of Juventus?" Zhuang Mingge glanced at Wenger and said angrily, "Although Monaco can temporarily retain their people with a long-term contract this time, if the players' hearts are all dispersed, then it is useless to just retain people."

"Well, this is a problem." Although he has entered the Boseman era, Wenger's thoughts are still stuck in the previous era, which is also a common problem for many team head coaches at that time. So we see how miserable the outcome of Sakchi, who was violently managing the team, coached AC Milan for the second time. Rather than saying that his tactical thinking is behind, the player's status has changed dramatically after Boseman.

The French Ligue 1 League where Monaco is located declined very well after the Marseille counterfeiting case appeared, and a large number of outstanding stars were lost. This can be seen from the decline in the European performance of the French team after 1993. It took a full ten years for the counterfeiting case to recover some vitality; the same is true for the later Serie A telephone goal incident. The outbreak of a counterfeiting case was enough to hurt the entire league.

So, under the temptation of Serie A giant Juventus, how many people can Monaco players really stand up? As the head coach, Wenger, of course, knows this.

"I came here this time just to tell you that Juventus is stingy about introducing players. If you really plan to sell Badz and Toulam, I personally recommend that you better attract the attention of Inter Milan and Parma."

"You mean, let me pull Morati and Tanji into this transfer, so as to earn more transfer fees?"

"That's right, Inter Milan and Parma are now in a reconstruction period of old and new reorganization. The bosses are also quite rich and willing to pay for investment. If they are asked to join in, the transfer fees of Badz and Toulam will never be unilaterally suppressed by Juventus." Zhuang Mingge saw that Wenger had understood what he meant, nodded and said.

"But if the two of them left, it would be a big impact on Monaco's performance this season." Although he said he didn't mind selling people before, Wenger was still hesitant when it was really implemented.

To be honest, although Wenger has done a good job in cultivating young players, he is really not very good at the timing of selling players. To give a few examples, in 2004, when Vieira was the highest, Real Madrid was even willing to buy it for more than 40 million US dollars. As a result, Wenger kept it for a year and finally got half the price. Henry was the same. Wenger kept it for one more year, which led to the last time selling it cheaply, not to mention the future of the famous players such as Flamini and Fabregas. Overall, Wenger's seller has always been passive and has a very slow reaction.

"Arsena, you are not unclear about Monaco's financial situation and status. This is its survival mode. If you cannot sell a player when he is at the highest value, then the only one who suffers the loss will be the club itself."

"Okay, I understand." Wenger hesitated for a while and finally figured out this. He believed that with his ability to train players, it would be not difficult to train a second Toram or Badz. "Antonio, since you persuaded me to sell these two main players, at least you have to give me some compensation, right? My requirements are not high. Just recommend two players who can make up for the vacancy of Lelian (Turam) and Fabian (Batz)."

"Hey, are you a robbery?" Zhuang Mingge smiled and shook his head. He originally had a good friend to Wenger. The purpose of supporting Monaco was to make Monaco a "talent training base" for Florence in France. Although Zhuang Mingge was a little unhappy about being poached by others before he could use it, his basic viewpoint has not changed. "Strasbourg's central defender Ismail is good. If you want to keep the goal, you can consider Argentina's goalkeeper Carlos Roa."
