If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 6: The Internet celebrity team years ahead of schedule (please collect and vote for it)
On the way back, the whole team was very excited.

Comebacks and derbies are definitely the most exciting things in football.

If I have to say what is more exciting, it would be to reverse the derby opponent in the Champions League!

As the second youngest team in C2, the average age of Reggina is just over 23 years old.

There is no one born after 50 in the team.

In this era of rapid development of electronic devices and entertainment, young people have amazing energy.

Even though they were very tired after the game, the whole team still celebrated hard when they returned to Rome.

The captain said he would treat everyone, but no one went too far.

Even the income of first-class players these days is not that outrageous. In a city like Rome, if the whole team wants to rip him off, he can be sold for just two kidneys.

Giovanni Capasso kept fiddling with his pager during dinner, as if he had nails on his butt.

"He's getting married."

A teammate started to make a noise.

Lu Deyang was speechless.

This guy is only one year older than him.

Getting married at 19 means you can see the end of your life at a glance.

"Boy, why are you rolling your eyes?" Bagnato nudged Lu Deyang with his elbow and said, "You shouldn't have rejected Riva today."

"What's the benefit of me going to Cagliari? If we are promoted next season and they are promoted too, I will still play in Serie B if I change to a new team, then my transfer will be in vain?"

Lu Deyang complained.

He was indeed planning to change jobs in the summer, but Division B was not his goal at all.

At worst, I can go to England to play football.

Because of the Heysel Stadium tragedy, English teams were banned from European competitions for five years and are currently still under the ban.

Their tactics are already lagging behind.

Italian players are quite disdainful of British football, and Serie A at that time did have such qualifications. Pick out any top Italian team, and there will be one or two Baggio or slightly lower level stars. Almost all the players in the teams like the Seven Sisters are important players of the national team, which is even more exaggerated than the later BIG4.

When I got home, it was already late at night.

Fortunately, I can rest the next day.

One advantage of being a Class C player is that you can enjoy the weekends.

The third-tier matches are usually scheduled on Saturdays or Fridays.

The next morning at around 7 o'clock, the pager kept ringing. Seeing that it was old Bianchi, Lu Deyang had no choice but to get up and wash up.

Damn, he has always believed that modern communication equipment is the biggest obstacle to the development of human society.

Later, there were some idiots who sent messages on work software late at night, and it was not okay not to reply even if the message was read. How could such bullshit happen in the era of landline phones?
After getting ready in ten minutes, Lu Deyang got in his car and drove away, attracting the attention of his neighbor's wife.

"Good morning, Alessandro."

As soon as Lu Deyang entered the door, he greeted old Bianchi's youngest son.

"Morning, Dejan."

Alessandro pointed to the courtyard and said, "Dad is waiting for you there. I guess it's not a good thing."

Lu Deyang smiled and waved his hand, then walked towards the backyard.

"Dejan, you're here."

Bianchi De Rosso greeted him, motioning for him to sit down.

"Uncle Bianchi."

Lu Deyang said.

"The team is doing well now." De Rosso said, "There should be no problem with promotion. I talked to the coach and found that you played very well yesterday."

"Yes, I found a way to play football recently." Lu Deyang nodded.

"But I'm in some trouble now." De Rosso said, holding a teacup, "If the team is promoted, our facilities are not up to standard. You also know that Regina has been in the third division for many years, and the equipment has been in disrepair..."

Hearing this, Lu Deyang's heart skipped a beat.

Generally speaking, there is nothing good about crying poor.

"Uncle Bianchi, what do you mean?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"I just wanted to tell you in case you are unprepared." De Rosso put down the cup and said, "Reggina is a local team. I don't want to give up the team, but I don't have any spare money to invest for the time being. I am planning to find someone to inject capital into the team to help the team through the difficulties."

Lu Deyang roughly understood what Bianchi De Rosso meant.

The main reason is that he is afraid that there will be some twists and turns in the summer and the team will not be able to upgrade, which will affect him.

He thought old Bianchi wanted to borrow money, but it turned out that was not what he meant.

His uncle is a reliable friend.

Notify him in advance.

Although Mr. Lu has no use for him, he plans to change jobs in the summer.

The biggest problem Bianchi faces is that he is reluctant to give up control of his hometown team, but he also doesn't want to invest real money.

Lu Deyang didn't believe that he didn't have enough money.

The key is that investing in a second-tier team is not very cost-effective.

The investment for the B-level teams is much greater than that for the C-level teams. In order to advance to the A-level, a lot of money is needed for everything from team equipment to players, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to upgrade.

Old Bianchi was mainly worried about this sunk cost.

He was worried that the team would not be able to be promoted, so he thought of notifying Mr. Lu. Lu Deyang would definitely have to accept his favor.

After thinking for a while, Lu Deyang said, "Uncle Bianchi, can we change our thinking?"

"What do you mean?"

De Rosso looked at him suspiciously and asked.

"Promote the team!" Lu Deyang said excitedly, "Let the reporters you are familiar with write stories about the team's players in the newspaper. So-and-so was a gangster who turned over a new leaf and trained hard. His performance has been getting better and better recently. So-and-so's grandfather asked him to play football hard before he died. Even though he is only a third-class player now, he still trains hard every day... Or say that the six Fendi sisters admired a certain player's fashion style and hope to sponsor Reggiana. A famous director took a fancy to a certain player and wanted to invite him to develop in Hollywood..."

Bianchi De Rosso's eyes lit up.

He is indeed afraid that his investment will not yield any results.

But Lu Deyang gave him a new idea.

As long as the team's story attracts attention and becomes famous, even if there are no suckers to become sponsors or invest, his investment will get a lot of attention.

An image of a man who loves his hometown will be very good for him.

His biggest concern is that he is a cousin of the Calabrian mafia boss.

His mentality now is similar to those politicians.

When needed, he would ask his cousin to settle things. When nothing happened, he wished that the DNA had no connection with his cousin at all, for fear that his cousin would go in and take him with him.

Although Calabrians have a tradition of silence in prison, as a mature businessman, he knows very well that he should not trust human nature.

Now a new path lay before him.

When building the team's reputation, he gradually mentioned his silent contributions, and then found an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with his cousin, and in exchange for taking care of his cousin's offspring in case of an accident, even if the olive oil fraud was exposed, he, Bianchi De Rosso, would be one of the victims.

And maybe he can use other people's money to build his own reputation. He is not the only rich person in Calabria!
Other businessmen know that the team is in financial difficulty and are willing to invest, so the reputation will still be his.

Just thinking about it made old Bianchi excited.

This thing is so feasible!
