Chapter 12: Quick Entry (Please Collect and Pass the Monthly Ticket)

Since meeting Mantovani, Lu Deyang and Monica have no time to spend alone together.

The Sampdoria president is obviously very concerned about his transfer.

I knew before that Sampdoria was very good, and Lu Deyang learned more about it in the past two days.

Mantovani is a chairman with a very good reputation.

He was always very generous to the players, like family, but he never did things like Moratti eavesdropped on the players.

Mainly rely on personal charm to retain players.

This was the case when Milan tried to sign Vialli.

It was precisely because Vialli did not go to Milan that others chose to stay.

This may be a good thing for Milan, otherwise Van Basten would not have joined.

Moreover, he is not eager for quick success and often chooses to tap the potential of young people who are experienced but not famous, probably those who have played at a low level for a long time and have potential but have not encountered suitable tactics.

Lippi, who just retired, served as the coach of Sampdoria’s youth team for three years and laid a good foundation for the team.

The team's current head coach is Real Madrid veteran Boskov. After retiring as a Yugoslav national player, he led Real Madrid to win the La Liga double, but lost to Liverpool in the Champions League final.

This is also a coach similar to Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.

It’s just that the young people he trained were all stars before the Internet explosion, such as Mancini, Vialli and Chiesa.

The team owner and coach alone are already very outstanding, not to mention that Sampdoria also has a very luxurious team roster.

Monica secretly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Deyang standing in a daze with his hands behind his head, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If this continues, she might die of dehydration.

I don't know if that thing can replenish water in addition to protein.

dong dong dong-

Hearing the familiar knock on the door, Monica immediately got up and changed her clothes.

After the two men changed their clothes, they saw Paolo Mantovani standing at the door. This old man had been coming to the hotel to block them every day in the past two days.

"Dejan, if you want to get rid of the Reggio Calabria property, I can help."

Mantovani said.

"Forget it, Mr. Mantovani, I will handle it myself. If you can help us find a place to stay, that would be great. We can't always live in a hotel."

Lu Deyang said.

The financial situation for the two of us is okay, but hotels in tourist cities are not cheap.

"That's easy. If you're a single player, you can even live in the team. Roberto and his team did that before... Roberto doesn't have a good temper. I hope you can tolerate him, but he's not a bad person."

Mantovani said with a smile.

The man he was talking about was Mancini.

Although Mancini was gentle and easy-going when he was coaching, he had a very strange and irritable temper when he was young. Because of his personality, his national team career was not very smooth.

On the contrary, his good friend Vialli has a better personality.

It is said that the two met at the Italian National Youth Center Coverciano when they were 17 years old. At that time, Mancini, who had confirmed his transfer to Samp, thought Vialli was a good football player and suggested that Vialli play for Samp.

Later, the two really became teammates.

The three of them walked downstairs and onto the street. Mantovani said, "I've already found a lawyer. If possible, we can sign the contract today. The salary shouldn't be high, but considering that you still have a lover, I can ask the team to give you 80 million lire a year."

"What a generous gesture, Mr. Mantovani."

Lu Deyang said.

40 million liras is roughly equivalent to RMB, or about pounds.

This amount is roughly equivalent to one-tenth of what Falcao earned when he played for Roma in 1980. Currently, some Italian players earn to pounds a week, which is more than US dollars.

But considering that he just moved from Serie C to Serie A, this salary is not bad. Maldini's second contract two years ago was also 80 million lira.

Last year, Italy's per capita GDP ranked 15744th, behind the UK, at $. As a country supported by manufacturing, textiles and jewelry, Italy's per capita disposable income is even lower than this, similar to resource-intensive regions.

This salary can ensure that Lu Deyang and Monica live a wealthy life in Genoa. It is not as exaggerated as the later stars, but it is still better than the ordinary middle class in Italy.

Paolo Mantovani is indeed very sincere.

He took the two of them to the law firm, and his lawyer had already drafted the contract.

It's just a three-year contract.

Nowadays, players generally have no intention of transferring, so the contract will not be extended for a long time. After all, there is still the possibility that they may not be able to play well. Even one of the Three Musketeers had the experience of being loaned out after becoming famous.

Monica took the contract and read it carefully.

This law school dropout is an expert at this.

"Is there any signing bonus?"

Monica exclaimed.

"Yes, this is a gift for you." Mantovani shrugged and said, "If Dejan doesn't live well, I'm afraid it will cause international disputes."

This old man is quite humorous.

Lu Deyang took a look and said, "Can you reduce the signing fee and use it as my transfer fee? My contract with Reggina will end at the end of the month, but Reggina is in a difficult situation. I hope to keep some money."

"No problem at all!"

Mantovani looked at Lu Deyang with great admiration.

I discovered another advantage of this young man.

It's not a bad thing to have feelings for your parent team. Such players are more likable than those selfish players.

"Then I have no objection."

Lu Deyang said.

Monica prepared a pen for him and Lu Deyang signed his name directly.

"Welcome to Sampdoria. You can't wear the number 10 because that's Roberto's number. How about another number?"

Mantovani discussed.

If Lu Deyang insists on wearing the number 10 shirt, he will go and persuade Mancini.

This gentle club president treats the players very well and treats them with complete sincerity. He is confident that he can convince Mancini.

But then Lu Deyang's start would be very difficult.

Mancini is not a good-tempered person.

"It's okay, I can choose a free number."

Lu Deyang said.

It is indeed more suitable for number 10 to play in the frontcourt.

But if you play well, you can only become a legend even if you wear the No. 1 jersey.

"That's great. I guess you guys hate an old man like me. I'll take you to see the house tomorrow. As for the coach, there's no rush. Wu Jiading is not in Italy at the moment."

Mantovani said.

After parting ways with the old chairman, Monica couldn't help but say, "He seems like a very nice person."

"Yes, that's why Sampdoria is what it is today."

Lu Deyang said.

In the Serie A during the Seven Sisters period, every club president was very capable.
