Chapter 954: Divine Operation
"Hey, Master Huan, you said it well, very well!"
In the grocery store on the corner of a street in Milan, fat Renato saw the early morning edition of the Milan Sports Daily and was so excited that he couldn't help shouting out loud, just like a fanatical fan of Master Huan.
This sudden shout startled the fat boss who was standing at the door collecting newspapers.
Turning around, I saw this guy sitting on his lazy sofa, buried in the newspaper, looking depressed.
"I say, Renato, can you please keep your voice down? I have a heart disease, you know?"
After saying that, he turned around and continued to pack his things, but he muttered, "If you scare me, can you afford to pay for it?"
"Hey, sorry, Fatty, I was too excited."
Renato popped his head out from behind the newspaper, grinning, but there was no sign of remorse at all.
"This Gazzetta dello Sport is really nice. It remained neutral and basically told the whole story of the situation, including Young Master Huan's speech. Not a single word was missed. It's rare!"
The fat boss was a little surprised. "I say, weren't you at the scene yesterday? Why are you here to read the newspaper so early this morning?"
This guy is really weird. You know exactly what happened yesterday. Is there any need to rush to see it?
"You don't understand this, Fatty. Let me tell you, Master Huan's speech yesterday was so exciting that it left all those bastards speechless. The two sides just clashed and the winner was immediately clear."
The fat boss curled his lips, as if to say, isn't this nonsense?
If Yang Huan was not awesome, could he be Yang Huan?
"Let me tell you, those fans were left speechless yesterday by Young Master Huan's questions. They wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it. Now everyone can finally see clearly that this group of so-called extreme fans is nothing but a bunch of liars."
The fat boss shook his head after hearing this. "That can't be said. We can only say that some people have ulterior motives and want to fish in troubled waters. So you saw that yesterday, Yang Huan did not add insult to injury and embarrass both parties. In the end, he personally eased the atmosphere and smoothed things over."
"Yes, I just find it strange. We could have dealt with them in the end, so why did we let them go?" Renato was puzzled. If he didn't seize the opportunity to nip the thorns in the bud, what would he do if they made trouble again in the future?
The fat boss shook his head. "So, you are just like the representatives of the fan organizations. You are destined not to be on the stage."
"What's the meaning?"
"Look at the second edition of this article. Yang Huan took the initiative to ease the situation. It seemed like he was giving in, but in fact he was trying to avoid being aggressive. He is now in the right place. As long as the fans have a clear mind, they can see clearly what is going on. The six major fan organizations in the north stand are probably going to have problems."
Renato shook his head, "I don't quite understand."
"After all, he is an outside investor. His questioning is more or less meant to clarify things for himself and the management team, so the fans can accept it. But if he continues to be aggressive, it will only push many fans who originally understood him to the opposite side, because after all, he is an outsider."
Renato understood that, after all, most fans, especially local fans, are still quite emotional.
"Sometimes, there is no need to distinguish right from wrong, because the result may not be as good as we imagine. Therefore, Yang Huan's concession at the last minute was reasonable and restrained, and he has grasped the psychology of the vast majority of rational fans. As for the matters of the fan organizations, let them deal with it themselves."
"After all, if Yang Huan really wanted to deal with this group of fans, he should have done it two years ago when they surrounded Durini Street. Why did he have to wait until now? I think he didn't take these people seriously from the beginning to the end."
When Renato heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense, but he couldn't tell what the reason was. He just felt it was powerful.
"Hey, Fatty, how do you know so much?" Renato laughed.
The fat boss chuckled and said, "Because I often read books and newspapers!"
Renato wanted to laugh. I also read books and newspapers frequently, so why don’t I understand these?
"These days, the most important thing is to have the ability to analyze problems independently. Don't blindly trust the media and journalists. The more developed the information is, the easier it is to cover up the truth."
Renato, who was standing by, felt as if he had been enlightened by what he heard. A warm current rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
It’s so fucking true!
"Also, don't get into a fight with others no matter what happens. I tell you, most people in this world hate to be serious."
Renato simply had an urge to worship him.
When did this fat guy selling newspapers become able to speak so many tricks?
"Uh, Fatty, tell me, what books do you usually read? What newspapers do you read?" Renato asked humbly.
When the fat man heard this, he immediately waved his hands and laughed, "Nothing much, just having nothing to do, so I checked my Moments and read some inspirational stories."
Renato nodded immediately. No wonder, it turned out to be the omnipotent WeChat.
Well, chicken soup for the soul… As long as it’s chicken soup, it’s usually delicious and nutritious, great!

"I just got the news from my British counterparts. 80 million euros, not all in cash!"
In the editorial office of Gazzetta dello Sport, Riccardo Pratsi said excitedly.
This will definitely be big news tomorrow.
"Not all cash? Then what is it?" Assistant Editor-in-Chief Daniel Redaeli asked curiously.
Didn’t Yang Huan just promise yesterday that the team will use the income from De Bruyne to invest in the transfer market?
So, early this morning, almost everyone was speculating who the 80 million euros would bring in.
"It's 70 million euros, plus one Jovetic!"
"Jovetić?" Many people present were shocked.
Jovetic is now 25 years old. He made his debut in Red Star Burgrade and moved to Fiorentina in Serie A in 2006. He became a well-known striker in European football. He was brought from Italy to the Premier League by Manchester City in the summer of 2013 for a high price of 26 million euros.
But unfortunately, like many players who became very popular in Italy but could not adapt to the Premier League, Jovetic's performance in the past two seasons in Manchester City was quite sluggish. He played in many positions but was not satisfactory. However...
"Jovtic is only 10 million euros, isn't that too cheap?" Daniel Redaeli was surprised.
Manchester City lost 16 million in two years. This deal was a huge loss for Manchester City.
However, considering that Manchester City did not suffer a loss just from this, it is not worth making a fuss about.
"Jovetic has had injuries in the Premier League in the past two years and his form is also questionable, so whether he can play well and return to his peak is also a question, but Inter Milan and Klopp obviously hope to use Jovetic to play De Bruyne's attacking midfielder position."
Klopp still uses the 4-2-3-1 tactics at Inter Milan, with two defensive midfielders and an attacking midfielder in front.
When he was in Dortmund, he used Gotze, but in Inter Milan, he used De Bruyne.
Now, using Jovetic, although not as dazzling as the two talented stars mentioned above, is not too bad.
What's more, many people think that Dybala is more suitable for this position.
"Inter Milan made a very smart deal. As long as Jovetic's condition recovered, his strength was not affected much, but they made a cash difference of 70 million euros. What a brilliant operation!"
When Moggi was in charge of Juventus, the Zebras relied on this kind of shrewd transfer operations and the practice of buying low and selling high to make a profit from the difference to ensure Juventus' strong competitiveness.
Now, Inter Milan's management is apparently also interested in taking this route.
And isn’t their biggest reliance Southampton’s powerful scouting system?
Daniel Redaelli thought for a moment, "Inter Milan let Blind go, but judging from last season's performance, Juan is trustworthy. The two young players Rugani and Romagnoli both performed well, so there are no major problems on the defense line."
"Yes, Inter Milan's strategy is also very pragmatic. They sold De Bruyne, who has the highest value, and tried their best to keep other players. Therefore, Damian, Alex Sandro, Handanovic, Aubameyang, Dybala and other players should not leave."
At this point, Fabio Licari smiled and said, “However, the midfield organization problem last season…”
Ricardo Pratsi and Daniel Redaeli both immediately felt that it made sense.
Isn’t it?
Although Inter Milan's midfield includes Khedira, Allan, Nainggolan and Kranjvert, as well as youth player Benassi, in the final analysis, they are tough but lack control and creativity.
Last season, the team was still able to rely on De Bruyne and the excellent offensive combination in the frontcourt to create a threat.
However, this season, with De Bruyne leaving the team and Jovetic's future uncertain, if Inter Milan does not improve its midfield, it will probably be difficult to achieve anything in the new season.
Even the overall strength may decline.
Generally speaking, in the European transfer market, it is not impossible to sell popular stars at high prices, but the key lies in the transfer operations after you cash out, which is the biggest test for the club.
"There is a shortage of talent in European football nowadays, especially midfield controlling players, who are extremely scarce. Many top midfielders are basically in the hands of four teams: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Southampton and Bayern Munich. Atletico Madrid has Isco, Manchester City has David Silva and De Bruyne..."
At this point, Ricardo Pratsi sighed, "As for other teams, it can be said that it is difficult to find a coach."
"Could it be... Verratti from Monaco?" Daniel Redaeli suddenly thought of it.
"It's possible. Verratti is a local player and he is in Monaco. It's very possible!"
Fabio Licari nodded, "Verratti is indeed a possibility. I think there is another person, Kovacic from Southampton. The Saints should be happy to let Inter Milan help them develop this midfield genius."
"But I heard that Ancelotti is very optimistic about Kovacic," said Ricardo Pratsi.
But at this moment, a name suddenly flashed through Daniel Redaeli's mind, and he suddenly exclaimed.
"What's the matter?"
"What is it, Daniel?"
Daniel Redaeli suddenly looked at his two colleagues with some excitement, "We are only targeting foreign countries, but have you ever thought that there is also a lot of European-level midfielders in Serie A."
When Fabio Licari and Lidoca Pratsi heard this, they immediately understood what Daniel Redaeli meant.
Isn’t it?
Although Serie A has declined, it is still the fourth largest league in Europe and its players are also very strong.
Apart from midfield masters like Pirlo, there are also one or two midfield stars in the entire league.
The one most likely to switch to Inter Milan is...
The three of them burst into laughter immediately. They vaguely realized that this was another big news!
