Marotta once heard Yunsheng tell him that there is a special skill in the distant country of China called "Sichuan Opera Face Changing".
Although he has never seen it, he guessed that it might be similar to Agnelli's current situation.
Agnelli was overjoyed when he talked about the club's recent achievements, but as soon as Marotta mentioned the name "Yunsheng", Agnelli's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Marotta didn't dare to say anything anymore. He didn't know what kind of temper this young boss had.
He always invites gangsters, how can he offend such a boss...
There was silence in the room for half a minute. Agnelli spoke first: "Marotta, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Now in the Juventus Club, I only have you as my friend. No matter what suggestions you make, I'm willing to listen."
Looking at Agnelli, whose expression gradually became calmer, Marotta hesitated for a moment and finally spoke out his thoughts.
"For Juventus, Mr. Chairman is definitely the most important, there is no doubt about it. But in the hearts of players and fans, Yunsheng's importance is absolutely irreplaceable. After Yunsheng proposed to resign, I have followed your instructions Arrangements and search for suitable candidates in advance, but unfortunately, we can't find an excellent replacement like Yunsheng. Unless we can recruit top coaches such as Mourinho, Guardiola, and Ancelotti, otherwise Yunsheng is indispensable.”
"Of course, we can also dig out some new people, or give some experienced coaches who have been in the international football world for many years the opportunity to come to Juventus. But for a team that has been defending the Serie A championship and entering the Champions League finals, It will be difficult for anyone to take over, and it is almost impossible to replicate Yunsheng’s successful experience.”
"You have stopped communicating with Yun Sheng during this period. I am the one who comes forward when anything happens. I have been trying my best to make up for the broken emotions, and I think the recent situation looks pretty good. So Mr. Chairman, if possible, I suggest that we It is better to keep Yunsheng as much as possible and let him continue to play for Juventus. This will be the best choice."
Agnelli listened patiently to Marotta's suggestion, and he was silent for a long time again.
It's April now, the spring flowers are blooming, the temperature is suitable, the office windows are open, and the breeze blows in, which is very comfortable.
Agnelli leaned on the sofa and sighed softly. At this time, his face no longer had the determination to drive away Yun Sheng, and his eyes were full of complicated meanings.
"Marotta, there are only two of us here. If you have anything to say, I will say it directly. In fact, I have also considered this matter whether it is worth falling out with Yun Sheng. At first, I thought it didn't matter. After all, my personal authority is the most important. Important. But when I saw the Champions League semi-finals, I suddenly regretted that I should not have fallen out with Yun Sheng."
"Look at the head coaches of the top four teams in the Champions League this time. Wenger is a veteran top coach and has a say in the team; Mourinho is the absolute manager of Real Madrid now, and even Lafayette gave him a few points; Simeone is the spiritual leader of Atletico Madrid and the key figure in Atletico Madrid's revival. He has absolute control over the team. The presidents of these teams can let the head coaches and give the head coaches sufficient rights. This is why they can One of the important reasons for reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League."
"In this case, why can't I be more tolerant and supportive of Yun Sheng? Compared to them, I suddenly felt ashamed. Besides, Yun Sheng has not made any unreasonable demands, but he just doesn't allow me to interfere in the game. , does not allow me to sell his players, this is actually a very normal behavior."
"Marotta, you just said something wrong. The most critical figure in Juventus's revival is not me, but Yunsheng. It is precisely because of Yunsheng's successful record that I have become a better person. Otherwise, I would still be the same person in 2010." He is just an ordinary president who has just taken over Juventus and has no current status in Italian football."
"I will definitely not admit it in front of outsiders, but now it's just you and me. I really feel that I shouldn't have a tense relationship with Yun Sheng. Marotta, I hope you can help me ease the relationship with him as much as possible. And after the season is over, we must not let him go! We must keep him at all costs, even if we use black hands! It doesn’t matter if we use coercion or inducement! We must keep Yun Sheng!"
"Of course, if you can stay calmly, that would be even better..."
Agnelli said a lot in one breath, and his mood went from depressed to excited, and finally calmed down again.
After a long time, Marotta spoke, his face full of relief: "Mr. Chairman, I am really happy to hear you say this. You have really changed, for the better." Chairman, I’m sure that over time you will become the chairman of the best football club in the world! While sticking to your point of view, you are also able to analyze yourself and ignore past grudges. I admire you so much!”
"Don't worry, Mr. Chairman, I will do my best to make up for the rift between you and Yunsheng. Juventus must have Yunsheng in its future, and the iron triangle between the three of us will continue."
Agnelli nodded with a smile on his face: "Marotta, you are really my best assistant and friend. Also, I ask you again. When we are alone, please call me 'Ann'." Andre, can you agree?"
Marotta nodded vigorously: "Okay, Lord...Andre."
After leaving the chairman's office, Marotta did not return to his office. Instead, he went to the parking lot and prepared to visit the training base.
As the car drove on the road, through the open window, Marotta felt quite emotional.
If Agnelli could understand these principles earlier, then he and Yunsheng would never have reached this point, and the club's future would not be full of gloom.
Although Juventus is now dominating all fronts, as long as Yunsheng leaves, there will be huge twists and turns in Juventus' revival. Will it plummet like Cottbus now, or will it decline step by step like Monaco?
When he thought about this, Marotta felt very bad. And with Yun Sheng's stubborn character, it is extremely difficult to change anything he decides.
But no matter what, as long as there is a chance, I must go all out to fight for it.
It is no exaggeration to say that for the current Juventus, anyone can leave, even his own Agnelli, but Yunsheng must not leave!
Standing outside the Continassa base, Marotta looked at the Juventus first-team players training in full swing in the stadium. He did not enter the training ground, but stood outside the railing and watched quietly.
The man was standing on the side of the court, observing the players' training, and guiding the players on their movements and tactical understanding from time to time.
If possible, I would rather use this Champions League championship in exchange for him staying in Turin City next season...
