Manzuyovich’s agent: "Thank you, Mr. Gudiola, I’m really surprised to receive your invitation."
Gudiola: "No problem, just helping a friend out. Besides, Manzuyovich is indeed an excellent central forward. If he were five years younger, I might actually let Barça purchase him just to give it a try."
The agent replied politely, "Hahaha, Manzuyovich isn’t getting five years younger, but Morici is more than five years younger than him."
Word has it that Barça has always been interested in Morici.
As Manzuyovich’s agent, Manzuyovich does have some sway in the transfer of his younger Croatian brother, Morici.
This is considered mutual benefit.
Once you get connected to Barça, won’t you be destined for great success?
Barça, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, these clubs are simply the most ideal partners for any agent.
They are wealthy and willing to spend.
They are strong and can win championships to enhance players’ value quickly.
Even if you don’t earn a high commission here, you can make big money leaving here later.
However, Gudiola just smiled and didn’t continue talking about Morici.
Morici is excellent, but truly, if he comes to Barça, integration might be a problem.
Gudiola values Morici’s quick passing and shooting the most, but in Barça’s tactical system, this is not something allowed.
The whole Barça has only one person authorized to attempt such adventurous endeavors, and that is the future Barça emperor, Mateo.
You can feel this from Moreira’s recent media publicity and narrative trends.
Gudiola is actually not bothered by Moreira’s elf-like football style, as it can bring something unique to the team.
But Barça’s youth training has its own system, and they have become a trend. Whether it’s Moreira or Zidane, they must play according to their style, or else they will be passively excluded by the group.
Even Gudiola, the head coach, can only enrich Barça’s tactics but cannot make changes or adjustments at a higher level.
So... although Gudiola led Barça to snatch the La Liga championship trophy from Real Madrid this year, Gudiola’s status and importance within the team are not as strong as they appear outside.
This is one point that the extremely self-confident Gudiola is dissatisfied with.
He hopes to keep Moreira to counter Barça’s inherent system and increase his own influence.
But Moreira is too kind.
He didn’t establish his dominance when he had the advantage, and he even helped Mateo in a roundabout way to complete the succession.
So next, it’s time for Mateo to lead the team and overthrow Moreira’s dominance.
It’s not that Mateo is ruthless, but a pride can’t have two leaders.
Even if the new king is reluctant, someone will still fire at the old emperor.
These are the rules of society.
But speaking of which, even following Barça’s current system and tactics, Gudiola still feels there are areas that need strengthening in this Barça.
The issue with the central forward is a mutual concern for Barça’s management, Barça’s team players, and Gudiola.
So recently, Barça has been looking not for technical midfielders like Morici but... for Barça’s own central forward!
According to Barça’s requirements, such a monster cannot be born; even if it is born, it won’t be in the central forward position.
But now... it seems there really is an extraordinary talent emerging not at the central forward position.
So...
Gudiola sips his coffee, waiting for time to pass.
After this is over, he can’t wait to go back and call the king of San Remo to claim credit.
Arsenal’s Mr. Winter is orchestrating.
Real Madrid’s Zidane is guiding strategy.
So why shouldn’t Barça’s Gudiola stir up a storm too?
This Lu Yang... just ask who doesn’t want him?
...
"Breaking news! Barça wants Manzuyovich! Gudiola has already met with Manzuyovich’s agent!"
"Barça on the verge of strengthening? Manzuyovich to aid Barça in the Champions League pursuit!"
"Juventus central forward to change clubs! Free transfer, high salary inevitable!"
"Major mistake by Juventus management team! Overconfident in their relationship with Manzuyovich, possibly letting him leave for free!"
"Why didn’t Juventus renew Manzuyovich’s contract earlier? They’ll pay for their arrogance!"
"Juventus wants Kolber but they have no alternatives and are now stuck!"
"Manzuyovich claims his player didn’t receive the deserved respect at Juventus!"
"Manzuyovich: Barça is a great team, and Gudiola is very nice!"
These headlines are practically piercing the hearts of Atletico and Juventus.
On Juventus’ side, although they truly don’t want Manzuyovich anymore.
But that’s assuming Kolber comes over.
Previously, Bologna indeed had close discussions with Juventus.
However, in recent years, Juventus has faced tremendous salary pressure and understands the importance of money, so naturally, they won’t spend lavishly.
It’s not that they don’t want to be like Real Madrid, throwing money around to make you happy.
It’s just that their economic strength doesn’t allow it.
That’s why the price Juventus offered wasn’t high. Kolber, originally valued around 18 million, was only offered 13 million euros.
This is really unreasonable.
San Remo could offer an internal price to send Versachi to Florence to fulfill dreams, but why should Bologna send Kolber to Juventus at a discounted price?
