Chapter 5 The French Trip
Boulogne-sur-Mer, a city in northern France, is also the largest fishing port in northern France, but there are not many people in this fishing port city, so it is not difficult for Li Yi to find Ribery here.
What's more, Ribery is still a little celebrity in Boulogne, not only because he used to be a player of the Boulogne club, but also because of the scar on his face that looks extremely terrifying.
However, after Ribery became famous, this terrifying scar became no longer scary, and even Ribery won the title of Scarman for it.
Of course, Scarman was not born with a scar. The scar on Ribery's face was due to a car accident when he was a child. I have to say that this Scarman was born with great luck. Injured his face, but not his precious legs.
Although Ribery's life in the same year was unhappy because of the scar on his face, it was also because of the scar on his face that Ribery's mentality had been tempered since he was a child.
Is this Frank Ribery's house? Ribery's family was not wealthy, which was evident from their housing.
May I ask who you are? Standing in front of Li Yi at the moment was a middle-aged woman.
Hello, ma'am, my name is Li Yi, I'm from the Cagliari club in the Italian second division. Li Yi did not say that he is a coach, after all, he is too young.
The 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century was the most prosperous era of Serie A, known as the Little World Cup. Although Cagliari is currently in Serie B, his reputation is not lower than that of ordinary first-level teams.
Sorry, Frank is working with his father, but it's almost noon now, and they will be back for dinner soon. The middle-aged woman invited Li Yi in.
If you can, please wait a moment. After Li Yi nodded, the woman went out immediately, and a little boy appeared at the door.
After a few minutes like this, a young man wearing a dirty construction site uniform rushed in. The young man was not tall and had a terrifying scar on his face.
Ribery, Li Yi was looking at Ribery, and Ribery was also looking at Li Yi, especially when he found out that the man in front of him was so young, even Ribery suspected that the guy in front of him was not as big as him.
You're really from Cagliari, Italy, Ribery doubted.
Of course, this is my work permit, as well as my A-level coaching permit. Li Yi came here fully prepared.
You are still the coach of Cagliari Obviously, there is no young coach like Li Yi in Europe.
Yes, I'm currently the assistant coach of the Cagliari first team. I'm here to ask you if you are interested in playing in Italy. Li Yi knew that Ribery already believed him.
Yes~~~ Of course there is. This summer, Ribery's contract with Boulogne has expired. At present, Boulogne has no plans to renew the contract with Ribery. Therefore, during this time, Ribery has no choice but to contract with his father. Going to work outside the construction site is looking for clubs.
At this time, Ribery's father, old Frank, and his two older brothers also returned to their home, and they naturally had a little chat with Li Yi.
Li Yi enjoyed an authentic French free lunch. Although it was not rich, it tasted good. After the lunch, Li Yi bid farewell to the Riberys and took the train to Bordeaux.
However, at this time, Ribery volunteered to lead Li Yi on the way. Li Yi did not refuse this, let alone Ribery.
When he was in the Lille youth team, Ribery's Lille youth team played against the Bordeaux youth team, so under the leadership of Ribery, Li Yi came to the Bordeaux youth team training base and immediately blocked a youth at the door. team player, so the young player knows Valbueno's contact details.
It's easy to find someone, and Valbueno has no reason to refuse Li Yi's invitation, just like Ribery,
Valbueno, who was kicked out of Bordeaux, is training around.
Li Yi, who had secured Valbueno, did not leave France. After letting Valbueno and Ribery go back to deal with personal affairs, Li Yi came to Bastia, the capital of Corsica, because he saw the road when he was in Bordeaux. A gardener on the side remembered a person.
Aldi Lamy, the future French national team center back, Li Yi saw a piece of news on the Internet, Lamy was a gardener before he became a professional player.
Bastia's population is similar to Boulogne, but Lamy is obviously not as famous as Ribery, so Li Yi specifically looked for Bastia's amateur team, and even asked some people who like to play football.
It took a day for Li Yi to find Lamy, who also came from a poor family. In addition to being an amateur player, the seventeen-year-old Lamy had just become a gardener because of the introduction of his relatives.
However, the gardener Lamy was obviously going to be laid off as soon as he started his job. Because of Li Yi's invitation, because of Cagliari's invitation, between going to Italy and staying in Bastia, Lamy chose the former without any hesitation. .
In other words, Li Yi's trip to France took nearly three days to take away three future national team main players of the French team, but at this time who will know the future of the three.
Even Salerno, who promised Li Yi, felt that Li Yi was crazy. If he didn't say that Salerno had no way out now, he would never be mad by Li Yi.
It actually cost Cagliari how much to sign the three, and it was precisely because Salerno couldn't spend much that made Li Yi crazy, but Li Yi's next proposal made Salerno a little embarrassed.
Because Li Yi proposed Salerno to sign Palumbo, the Italian midfielder's contract with Fiorentina expired this summer. Fiorentina is currently in a state of distress and has no energy to deal with Palumbo's contract renewal.
Palumbo not only has good sweeping and interception ability, but also has good technique and ball-playing ability. He is an all-round midfielder, somewhat similar to Di Biagio who moved to Brescia this summer.
Compared with his ability, there is also Palumbo's professionalism. If Cagliari can really sign Palumbo, there is no need to worry about it in the next ten years. Therefore, such a player is definitely what Cagliari needs most. A class of players.
Actually, Palumbo is the player that Cagliari needs, but when we sign Palumbo, Mr. Giampiero will definitely not reuse it. Although the signing of Palumbo is to strengthen the team, it is also for Ventura Add block.
And we can also reduce the team's budget by signing Palumbo. Li Yi finally persuaded Salerno.
In addition, Li Yi has his own little abacus, but he didn't say it.
However, it is not easy for Cagliari to sign Palumbo. Salerno needs to convince the chairman Cellino first, and then compete with Sampdoria.
