winning hand

The arrival of the Christmas holiday naturally means the arrival of the team's winter break, and after Sanz took over Parma from Parma's special trustee, he successfully took office as the new boss. As the team's new boss, in

It is also appropriate to come to the team and meet the players at this time.

The players on the team were not particularly surprised when they saw Sanz's arrival. On the contrary, they all stepped forward to say hello to him. The players had all heard of Sanz's gentle attitude - Sal

Gado is his son-in-law. He is not an arrogant boss who likes to distance himself from his players. This kind of temper is quite endearing.

Moreover, everyone in the team is also very interested in knowing what his purpose is. After all, there is a lot of news published in newspapers these days.

"Five years after retiring as president of Real Madrid, Sanz finally returned to football. As we know, during the period from 1995 to 2000, Sanz served as president of Real Madrid and won many titles for Real Madrid.

With one league title and two Champions League titles, Real Madrid started the white-shirt era of three crowns in five years. And in

After losing to Florentino due to the Figo effect in 2000, he tried to run for Real Madrid chairman again, but in the end, he was still unable to withstand the dazzling glory of the Galacticos and ultimately lost. After two years of silence

, he finally decided to enter the football circle again, and this time, he chose not Real Madrid. As a die-hard Real Madrid member, he did not continue his career in Real Madrid, but instead invested in the declining Parma.

For what purpose? We will wait and see."

Regarding Sanz's appointment, the media quickly gave out various speculations, but none of them could figure out Sanz's temper. There were a lot of sporadic news, which also attracted the attention of the players.

Let his son, Lorenzo Sanz Duran, serve as the chairman of the team. This team completed the change of ownership, and when little Sanz took over the command of the team, he immediately

He told the outside world that Parma would learn from Liverpool and carry out 'Spanish' reforms. His words even caused a lot of controversy. Many people even speculated that Sanz's first transaction would be to introduce his son-in-law.

, Real Madrid's right back Salgado, and there are many rumors that Sanz may hire a new manager from Spain to replace the current Barardi...

If Li Bin hadn't led the team with good results now, I'm afraid there would have been rumors about replacing Li Bin with a Spanish coach.

"Parma, like Liverpool in the Premier League, has begun to become Hispanic."

This is the most common speculation. After all, Sanz is Spanish, and he is also a well-connected person in Spanish football circles. It is very normal for him to say that he wants to make the team Spanish.

Li Bin didn't say much about this, nor did he take the initiative to greet Sans. After Sans entered, he just waited quietly and watched what Sans wanted to do.

After Sanz said hello to the players, he finally walked towards Li Bin. Beside him were Barardi and his son, Sanz Jr., the team's chairman. It can be said that these people are the players.

The team management.

"Coach Li Bin? Hello, Li, first of all, congratulations on your good results, and then, let us discuss how to make the results better!"

This time was also the first time that Li Bin met his first boss after taking office, Lao Sanz. This man was a energetic man. Although he looked quite old, he was obviously very talkative. After meeting him, he also

He directly brought the topic to the project that Li Bin was most concerned about.

"It's a party now, so I won't take up too much of your time. Let's just talk about some things casually. About transfers, about the future, about the board's requirements for you - let me first state that I am not particularly rich.

People, so don’t expect me to buy people like my compatriot Florentino. I don’t have that much money. In terms of transfer fees, this winter, I will only prepare

000,000, and I hope that this money will be enough - what I mean by "sufficient" does not mean the reinforcements this winter. What I hope is the money to enhance the team as a whole. I hope that every money will be enough.

, they all have to be implemented and can really make Parma stronger. I hope that this money can play a real role."

"I have no objection to this. The key is, how can we implement it in practice?"

"We can discuss this issue slowly." Sanz laughed, "The struggle for power among the board of directors, management, coaching staff, and locker room has never stopped. I can probably guess it.

What are you thinking about? Don't worry, I'm not a harsh person. There are many.

We can discuss things slowly. I'm not sure how much authority you have on transfer issues now, but I think your authority in the future will definitely not be much worse than it is now - your signings are very

Well, I don’t need to interfere too much, that would be unwise, wouldn’t it?”

Sanz's words reassured Li Bin that this person indeed knew how to manage as rumored.

"Mr. Sanz, I have never asked you a question." In this regard, Li Bin thought for a while before speaking, "What is your purpose of buying Parma? Is it to make money or to become famous?"

"Can't it just be because you love football?" Sanz looked at Li Bin and laughed, "Okay, let me tell the truth. I have been in the football circle for a long time, and I know that football is not very profitable.

. I don’t expect this team to bring me profits. You can rest assured on this. I didn’t buy Parma to make money. Of course, I have my own ideas. I think football is appreciating now. Buy now.

If I sell the team in a few years, I won’t suffer a loss - the economy is in recession, and the investment

Investing in football may not necessarily make you lose more money than investing in other investments. And, secondly, I still have a little bit of fame and fortune. In addition to insurance, I bought a team. I am getting old and want to find some entertainment projects to entertain myself.

Happiness is also a reason. I want the team to achieve some small results and myself to find some sense of accomplishment. Therefore, I still hope that Parma can achieve results. For example, this season, although I have just arrived, I still hope that,

We can qualify for the Champions League... Isn’t this request too much?”

"It's not excessive. On the contrary, I think it's very correct." Li Bin said, "I think this is also my original plan for this season."

"I'm glad that we have the same views. You see, we can talk very well." Sanz clapped his hands, "So, are Coach Li satisfied now?"

Li Bin nodded with satisfaction this time.

He had been doubting what Sanz's purpose was. This man was rich, had been in the football circle for a long time, had a good reputation, and was a die-hard supporter of Real Madrid. There was no need to play these games, and neither did Li Bin.

I don't know what he was thinking.

But now, Li Bin somewhat understands: what he wants is to play with Parma... To put it bluntly, Parma still has a lot of debt, and it doesn't cost much to buy it, and Parma relies on the support of the scout network behind it.

, the annual investment required is not much, so Sanz can take

Play Parma for a few years, and when you get tired of it, you can just sell it. His estimate is not wrong at all. After that, the value of the football team will definitely rise. If you invest money in football, as long as you don't want to

If you want to make a lot of money and don't take action without considering life and death, you will indeed not lose money.

Since he is not losing money and is satisfying his addiction to being a boss, why not do it? Li Bin thought that he invested in football for fame and fortune, but he did not expect that this old man just did it for fun...

But doing this is very similar to him. Sanz is a person who loves football. Even his daughter is married to Salgado, a defender of the Spanish national team. He puts a lot of effort into football. He

If he is willing to play like this, Li Bin can trust him.

Moreover, since he wanted to have fun, he had to make some investments, right? This also made Li Bin feel relieved. With money, Palma could solve many problems.

"If that's the case, then I'll tell you my opinion." Li Bin thought for a while, "One million is a lot of money. The winter transfer is just a supplement, not a teardown and reconstruction. With so much money,

It’s definitely impossible to spend all of it on transfers, and I think our main focus with this money is not on signings.”

"I'm beginning to appreciate you, Coach Li." Sanz smiled, "Please continue."

"Thank you...and if that's the case, I have an idea. If you want to invest, renew the players' contracts first. Our players' wages are very low. Now they don't leave because we

Their results this season are good, and they want to use this result to raise their value. But at the end of this season, if they still have this salary, they will definitely leave. We must renew the contract, and we must improve it a lot.

"

"I know this." Sanz nodded, "I have already made specific arrangements for this matter. If everything goes well, we will be able to fully complete the contract renewal work before March. You don't have to worry about this."

Generally speaking, the team will renew the contract with the players before March. If the contract extension is postponed to May, it basically means that they have conflicts with the team and are ready to leave. This arrangement of Sanz can be seen

He is indeed a man who knows a lot about the internal affairs of football.

"It's impossible for me not to worry, because I still have a request: I think that during the contract renewal process, there should be some players who are unwilling to renew their contracts, but are thinking about leaving. If this happens,

Don’t say it all yet, I think that by June, things may take a turn for the better and we may be able to keep them.”

His words made Sanz stunned for a moment, "Do you think our results at the end of the season can help us retain people? But, as far as I know, our league championship this season is definitely out of the question, and the cup championship will not help us retain people."

People don’t help much, right? Whether it’s the Italian Cup or the UEFA Cup, the appeal of the team’s players is limited.”

"No, I think, rely on some other methods to retain people."

"I want to remind you, be careful. I have seen many good coaches who are confident in their own charm being tricked by players' agents." Sanz said and stopped pressing, "I can promise you, I won't do this.

If you object, look, we can discuss it."

Li Bin nodded, "Then another thing is to update the equipment within our team. We need an investment to do this. I have been thinking about the geothermal system for a long time. If it is installed..."

"Okay, I can agree to this." Sanz agreed immediately - he had no reason not to agree. Anyway, these things can be converted into the value of the team and sold in the future.

"If there are more, there will be no one to buy. However, if possible, I hope to prepare more transfer fees in the summer. In the summer, we will consider buying people again."

In the summer, Serie A will undergo major changes. At that time, it will be a good time to recruit people.

When Li Bin was making the budget for this season, he did not expect that a wealthy man named Sanz would suddenly join the team. Therefore, he did not expect to suddenly have money to join the team. This winter, he had no plans to buy anyone——

At the end of winter, Agger will be able to return from injury. By then, the team will not be short of players, so there is not much need to recruit players in winter.

Sanz agreed to his request, but also asked him a question, "Coach Li, these are not problems, but there is one thing I want to ask you: This season, we can win the Italian Cup and the UEFA Cup.

Champion?"
