"Marco·Lanna is in the Roma team, right?"
Paolo Maldini asked, changing the topic.
"Yes, he has been doing well recently." Totti gestured and said, "You also know that there is the kind of woman who likes to sympathize with others, and that woman is very good to him."
"That's really nice."
Dejan Lu nodded and said.
Lanna It's so miserable.
After so many years, I finally have a life of my own.
"Dejan."
After his teammates left, Paolo Maldini whispered.
"Do you want me to let you go? Don't worry. I won't make fun of you for nothing."
Dejan Lu said.
"No, that's it." Paolo Maldini said with some embarrassment, "Adriana hopes that you can be a guest during the holiday after the next competition day. She wants you to be Christian's godfather."
"Shouldn't it be Billy?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"There are two godfathers in Sicily. They say the world is dangerous and children will be safer if they have two fathers." Paolo Maldini said with a shrug.
Dejan Lu smiled and nodded.
Many customs are based on local conditions.
Just like those nomadic peoples who like to use their wives and daughters to entertain guests. The environment on the grasslands is too harsh, and there is a high chance that children will die young. They don't care whose children they have. The more children they have, the greater the chance of having an heir.
The situation of the Sicilian godfather is similar.
It is not because of the Mafia. Sicily is too poor and is the reason why the Mafia is rampant. It is also why more godfathers are needed.
The British the Royal Family is even more unusual. Those the Prince have an average of more than 5 godparents.
When this thing is needed, regulations are bullshit.
"Okay, I'll go."
Dejan Lu nodded and said.
"That's good, no need to bring any gifts."
Paolo Maldini specifically asked.
He wasn't so in favor of this.
The main reason is that the child has a godfather and then finds a famous one. This seems to mean clinging to the powerful.
But Adriana is right. He can't guarantee that his son can play football. With a rich and famous godfather, at least he won't be unable to find a job when he grows up.
He and Costacurta can help children in the football field, but what if the children don't want to develop in that area?
Italy people are really like Chinese people, and they even like to live with children more than Chinese people.
September 1st.
The transfer window is closed and media around the world are summarizing the transfers.
This summer Italy's transfer total reached 155 million pounds, La Liga 118 million pounds, Premier League 97 million pounds.
Without the transfers of Dejan the Football King and Redondo, La Liga should be ranked first.
Mijakovic, Šuker, Seedorf moved to Real Madrid; Rivaldo moved to Deportivo; Barca's goal was blocked, and Portugal was bought After E national goal Baia, he successfully snatched away Parma's goal Chiesa, and the cost was only 3 million US dollars less than Ronaldo.
After losing Chiesa, Parma introduced Thuram and tried to buy Shearer. Unfortunately, Shearer decided to return to his hometown Newcastle After played football and wanted to introduce Marco·Simone but was rejected by Milan, Parma spent US$3 million to introduce Manchester United veteran McClair, which still successfully supplemented the striker.
For Yongchao, Chelsea continued to reap the dividends of Serie A and introduced Di Matteo; Middlesbrough bought Ravanelli from Juventus for half the price of Shearer. They also introduced Porto's Brazilian midfielder Emerson; Manchester United bought Bobsky after Ronaldo and Desailly, ending their summer shopping spree. Overall, they also made tens of millions in profits from the transfer.
The only thing that Dejan Lu cares about is that Juventus introduced the bald man.
It's a pity that Milan doesn't have his position. Even if Milan doesn't have money, it would be difficult for Milan to consider Zinedine Zidane. The competition between Baggio and Dejan Lu for the left wing is already quite fierce. Sacchi generally does not arrange for the tenth position.
Just like Ancelotti once rejected Baggio.
Even if this thing shows its strength, some coaches will reject it.
Not to mention that Zinedine Zidane has only played in Ligue 1 so far.
Italy's sense of superiority at this time was far stronger than that of Premier League later.
But Dejan Lu doesn't care. Diego Maradona, Three Musketeers, and Three Horsemen have all played, and they are no less than half-step champions.
On September 8, Serie A finally ushered in its opening match.
Milan defeated Verona 6:1 in San Siro. Dejan Lu scored twice and scored a hat trick of assists at halftime, which made the Rossoneri players exclaim.
Too cruel.
The opponent has almost no way to get past halftime.
Dejan Lu can create enough threats with just one pass.
After one game, the shooting ratio between the two sides was as high as 26:4. The situation was probably equivalent to Manchester City playing against young people, but the melon-less team had better control and was able to shoot at a 27:0 shooting ratio.
On a day off, Dejan Lu took the Princess to Paolo Maldini's house.
Paolo Maldini's home is in the Fiera district of Milan, located southwest of the center of Milan, not far from San Siro.
What's even more interesting is that later, a large-scale development project was launched in this area, and the value of Paolo Maldini's house instantly increased by a rocket.
Policies to make money exist all over the world.
There is a pedestrian street near Raviza Street, but Paolo Maldini's house faces the commercial district, and each household has its own yard.
Sheva wrote in his autobiography that he, Beckham, and Nei Shao played wild football at home, and the ball often fell to the neighbor's house. Fortunately, they had many balls and had fun playing, just like when they were children, they often shouted for goals. Not long after, Paolo Maldini came out holding four balls and asked them if they wanted their balls back.
Houses here are really not cheap close to the city of Milan.
However, Redondo chose to live in a high-end apartment. Dejan Lu felt that it was because he was afraid of trouble.
He does not have such big requirements for space, but has requirements for quality of life.
There is a guard at the door of the apartment, which saves a lot of trouble.
"This neighborhood is very nice, let's buy one too." The Princess said after taking a few glances.
"Okay, but Paolo may not be happy."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
"Then don't bully Paolo Maldini next time." The Princess said angrily.
Dejan Lu curled his lips and said, "You don't know how much he deserved a beating when he was young. He asked me to go out to play if he won, as if it was easy to win against me."
"It happened many years ago, so don't remember it."
The Princess said angrily, walked up and rang the doorbell.
"Coming!"
Not long after, the horse team's wife appeared in front of her, and she immediately screamed at a high octave, "God, Paolo, the Princess is coming, come out quickly."
Dejan Lu and the Princess looked at each other with helpless expressions.
A similar thing happened when I met my Manchester United teammates for the first time.
Europeans deeply recognize the aristocracy.
Paolo Maldini came over wearing a shirt and holding a child and was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Dejan Lu and asked, "What should I salute?"
"Don't worry so much."
Dejan Lu waved his hand and said, "Miss Spencer is my girlfriend. Doesn't this feel better?"
"Come in quickly."
Adriana turned around twice and said.
"It's not the first time we've met, so there's no need to be so polite." Dejan Lu joked, "You weren't so excited when we met before."
"You are not a noble."
Adriana said angrily.
Dejan Lu shrugged and said, "The tone of your conversation is very bad. Is the Paolo Maldini family's tradition of bullying honest people developed by your generation?"
Paolo Maldini raised his middle finger and said, "Come meet your godson."
Dejan Lu handed the gift to Adriana and walked up to see the eldest son.
"Would you like a hug?"
Paolo Maldini asked, but directly handed the child to Dejan Lu.
Dejan the Football King suspected that he did it on purpose.
The three-month-old child is chubby and looks quite cute.
The eldest son stared at Dejan Lu with wide eyes, not afraid at all.
Lu Deyang held his hands and swayed back and forth, humming. "There once was a ship that put to sea. The name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea. The winds blew up her bow dipped down, Oh Blow my bully boys blow huh..."
The song with strong rhythm makes the eldest son feel very interesting.
Stretching out his hand, he giggled happily at Dejan Lu.
"It looks like you guys are hitting it off."
Adriana came out with coffee and snacks and said.
"I've never met anyone who doesn't like me."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
He is very familiar with Adriana, so of course you are welcome.
Paolo Maldini opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again.
He can't say Dejan Lu.
"What song is this?" The Princess was sitting on the sofa, staring at Dejan Lu and asked, his eyes almost drawing strings.
As a mother of children, she loved seeing this scene.
"Forget it, the pirate song."
Dejan Lu said, "When Christian grows up, I will take him to the Caribbean to seek life."
"I'm afraid you will be beaten to death by the Yankees."
Paolo Maldini complained.
Dejan Lu gave a thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect you to know that there are US military bases in the Caribbean. When I was in Samp, they didn't pay much attention to international news."
Paolo Maldini rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't want to pay attention either, but Adriana said that you can do business without losing money by reading more news."
"That's right. U. S. policies have a great impact on Europe. If you can seize the opportunity, you will make a lot of money, just like Moratti and others." Dejan Lu said.
Samsung started when Japan surrendered. They bought rice from Japanese warehouses through Americans.
There are not many such opportunities, but the United States has a lot of military spending.
You can make a fortune by being any kind of supplier to the Americans, even if you are not a supplier, you can just sell raw materials.
"You have to wait a little longer. My specialty dishes take a while."
Adriana put his head in the kitchen and said.
"It's okay, I'm here just for this. Paolo says your cooking is delicious all day long."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
Adriana winked at Paolo Maldini. It seemed that the second son might be born early.
"If you're interested in horse racing, invest in horse racing."
The Princess suggested. "I heard some horses can make a lot of money."
"Yes, the cost of breeding a thoroughbred horse is hundreds of millions."
Dejan Lu nodded and said.
The Rock of Gibraltar is familiar to every Manchester United fan.
The situation is probably that the shareholders of Manchester United were very happy with the team's results and gave half of the horse to Ferguson.
He should mean the profits from the competition, which are several million Pound Sterling.
However, Ferguson thought it included 300 million Pound Sterling for breeding.
This is how they broke up and Ferguson stood for Glazer.
It is difficult to understand this matter unless you are involved in the matter, but the situation should be like this. If your coach is good at coaching, he will give you millions of pounds as a bonus. No matter how rich you are, it is impossible for the rich man to give you hundreds of millions of Pound Sterling in breeding fees as a bonus.
Abramovich is so rich, but he only gives coaches and players gifts such as cars. He will only lend them yachts to play with and not give them as gifts.
If you want to receive a yacht-level gift, you must be a person of the emperor's level.
"I'm not very familiar with that thing, but is the breeding fee so expensive?"
Paolo Maldini asked in surprise.
"Of course, if you are interested, we can buy a horse together. I still have some friends in the UK."
Dejan Lu said.
Storing horses at a racecourse is not cheap, and buying horses is even more expensive.
But overall, buying a good thoroughbred horse is definitely profitable.
In addition to money, this thing also requires channels. It is an industry derived from the aristocratic movement.
"I will discuss it with Adriana later."
Paolo Maldini said excitedly, "You can also call Billy. He is also having a headache about investment recently. You know, players who reach a certain age will consider investment."
"After all, a career is only that long."
Dejan Lu said.
Some clubs talk about favors. After the team's legend retires, he will get a job similar to a promotional ambassador. In addition to participating in some activities, he can easily earn a salary of one million every year.
However, this is not currently the case in football.
After retiring, apart from being a coach, all other jobs in football have much lower wages than players.
Therefore, players of this era are particularly fond of entrepreneurship.
The annual income of players like Paolo Maldini is only millions of dollars, which is still much less than the income of later players.
"What did your teammates at England do?"
Paolo Maldini asked curiously.
"Real estate, catering."
Dejan Lu thought for a moment and said.
British players who do well are basically engaged in real estate.
In addition to Neville, there are Rogers and the like.
"The real estate is also good. Someone told me that prices will rise here." Paolo Maldini nodded.
"Then you can try negotiating with the bank to buy a few more units at low interest rates and sell them in a few years. You can also mortgage them when you need money." Dejan Lu suggested.
This is how rich people play.
If you have connections with the bank, you can even get a lot more mortgage.
That's how those people do business.
Zhao Junqi, who was banned, just bought a small company and borrowed 60 million yuan. Then he borrowed money from an institution, and then he acquired a listed company in installments, similar to Glazer's acquisition of Manchester United. Finally, he used the company's equity to mortgage 3 billion to make up the down payment. Finally, the news pushed up the stock price and cut off the stockholders. He spent 2 million to register a small company and made 3 billion with nothing.
There are many similar things happening in financial markets around the world.
However, some people do a good job in running the company after the acquisition, rather than cutting the leeks.
Thinking of this incident Dejan Lu decided to intercept Hu Glazer.
Buy Manchester United and make huge profits.
He didn't even need leverage, he bought it directly for the full amount, and he held it for more than 10 years and sold 6 billion Pound Sterling to the Saudis.
The key is that without the vampires, Manchester United's results can be much better.
This is definitely worth planning.
It would be best to let Glazer come in first, expose their gameplay and purpose through newspapers, and then buy Manchester United as a savior.
Otherwise, Manchester United fans would not know what good things Dejan the Football King has done.
Glazer never thought he could play like this before. The club repays tens of millions in loans to the owners every year and gives them more than 20 million Pound Sterling management funds.
If you switch to a less famous club, you will die directly.
While several people were chatting, the doorbell rang again.
After Paolo Maldini went to open the door, Dejan Lu pulled the Princess to get up together.
They are Mr. and Mrs. Cesare·Paolo Maldini.
"Dejan, so nice to meet you."
Cesare smiled and opened his arms and said.
"Good day Cesare, Mrs. Melissa."
Dejan Lu greeted.
"It would be great if you transferred to Inter Milan."
Melissa Paolo Maldini quipped.
She is a Inter Milan fan, but after marrying Paolo Maldini's father, she naturally became a Milan fan.
"Paolo didn't say I invited you, otherwise I would have brought more gifts today."
Dejan Lu said.
Cesare·Paolo Maldini asked with a smile, "Why don't you introduce your girlfriend."
"Diana·Spencer."
Dejan Lu pulled the Princess and said.
Cesare took off her hat and placed it on her chest, bending down to salute. Melissa Paolo Maldini giggled.
Dejan Lu The eldest son in his arms also became happy along with his grandma.
Melissa quickly opened her arms to take the eldest son and teased the child.
Old people love their grandchildren.
However, Lao Ma's family is prosperous. Cesare himself has six children. Paolo Maldini is the fourth child and the oldest boy in the family.
After Cesare and his wife sat down, they began to talk about embarrassing things when Paolo·Paolo Maldini was a child.
Parents like to say this.
Dejan Lu looked at the anxious Paolo Maldini and wanted to laugh, and gave him a reassuring look.
As long as you don't offend Dejan the Football King, your dark history will not be spread in the team.
Paolo Maldini and Cesare are not that similar, especially their eyes resemble his mother's.
"The children used to do their homework on the same table. We didn't have such good conditions for playing football at that time." Cesare said with emotion.
"Times are progressing, and in peaceful times the pursuit of spirituality is higher. Football is the number one sport in the world."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
Cesare glanced at the grandson in his wife's arms and said, "It would be great if he could inherit our jersey. This is my first grandson."
Indeed, the daughter's child is a grandchild.
This is even more obvious in Italy, which favors boys over girls.
By 6 o'clock, Adriana was ready for dinner.
This time is a little early for Italy people, but just right for Dejan Lu people.
Adriana is Venezuelan.
Her dishes combine the advantages of Venezuela and Italy. Papaya pudding is a traditional Venezuelan sweet. Other meats and seafood plus fresh vegetables also suit Italy's taste.
At the end of the meal, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
The Princess also eats a lot.
She doesn't know much about cooking, but she has relatively high standards for food.
Italy dishes are more in line with her eating habits.
The two of them were walking home. The Princess couldn't walk halfway, so Dejan Lu carried her for five kilometers.
The story was in the newspapers the next day.
After returning to Italy this time, reporters obviously paid more attention to Dejan the Football King's private life. Maybe they were interested in the Princess.
"The reporter took the photos like a movie, and the composition was excellent."
Redondo commented on the training.
"I remember Dejan has always been ranked very high in magazine selections." Totti said from the side.
"This is true, but those selections also depend on reputation. Otherwise, how could Diego Maradona be selected?" Redondo added on the side.
Diego Maradona really has nothing to do with handsomeness, even before he gained weight.
A few people spent another day chatting about magazine rankings.
Italian Super Cup, Milan doubled Empoli at home and away to advance to the next round. The Champions League groupings also came out, and Milan was placed in Group D.
Group A is Ajax, Rangers, Auxerre and Grasshopper Club Zurich. This group is the weakest.
Group B is Atletico Madrid, Duote, Ruch Chorzów, and Steaua București.
Group C is Juventus, Manchester United, Fenerbahçe and Rapid Wien. This is the most difficult group to play in. Manchester United should be very reluctant to play against local teams.
Milan's Group D is of average strength, including Porto, Rosenborg, and Gothenburg. If this group fails to qualify, it is entirely its own problem.
At this time, there are only two teams at most in the major leagues. If the youth training of those small countries' top players is not good, they will be just giving away food.
This grouping is quite satisfactory.
On September 11, Milan ushered in the first round of the group stage against Porto at San Siro Stadium.
The entire Milan team is looking forward to this season's Champions League.
The transfer of Dejan Lu made them want more.
More than one teammate has expressed similar sentiments.
Even Baresi has always shown enough kindness to Dejan Lu. You must know that Baresi doesn't have a good face when facing Van Basten. His view of foreign players is that they come to Milan to make money.
Filippo·Galli returned to the starting lineup and was in a good mood.
While changing clothes, he asked, "How did you feel when you got Seven Sisters?"
"I don't feel it." Dejan Lu said with a smile, "At that time, there was only one game every two days. Everyone was so exhausted and mentally exhausted. We didn't even know which day was the final. We just had to play the final, do you understand?"
"Yes, sometimes the rest is less than 24 hours before the next game." Redondo added on the side, "Many people are sleeping on the bus, mainly because they feel that the game will never be finished."
"That's as scary as it sounds."
Paolo Maldini nodded and said.
"I'm lucky. Fernando is the absolute main player. He should have played more than 90% of the games."
Dejan Lu said.
"My agent told me that Manchester United's unwillingness to pay appearance fees should be because they play too many times each season." Redondo said with a shrug.
There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
At this point every player wants to make more money.
Even Paolo Maldini and Baresi have different ideas.
Baresi is more like a player like Belleron. Although he can't only get a salary of 300,000, he is willing to give everything for the club.
The older generation of players are more willing to pay in this regard.
Dejan Lu chose the lottery after chatting with his teammates for a while.
[Your good brother Francesco·Totti is very handsome, but has never cheated on him. This is a very rare thing, so we selected a player who is not very handsome but often cheats. Ding, get the 2003-2004 Champions League final, Porto VS Monaco, Andersson Luis de Sousa single game experience card]
