Chapter 11 Big signings
In fact, Conte's actual entry time was one month earlier than the club's announcement time.
This month, he kept communicating with the club's transfer manager, which can be said to have fully utilized every penny of the team's transfer budget in the summer window.
Unlike Carni, who has been staying in Piacenza, Conte, as a former professional player who has played in many Serie A giants, has played his connections vividly in Piacenza's transfer this summer.
For newly promoted players who have just been promoted to Serie A, what kind of players have both immediate combat effectiveness and are easy to obtain and save money?
The answer is the youth training of a wealthy family who was rented out to other teams to seek opportunities to play.
These youth training players can survive until they are only one step away from the first team and often have good talents, but sometimes the fierce competition from wealthy clubs makes it difficult for them to play.
At this time, the club does not want to let go and cannot guarantee the players' chances of playing, so they will naturally choose to send the players to the team that can be given a chance to play on loan.
Every year, some small clubs that need to improve their combat effectiveness will snatch players loaned from wealthy families. After all, as long as you win the lottery, it is very likely that the team will have an extra thigh this season.
And, most importantly, loans are really very small, which is perfect for small clubs that have to be careful every season.
After the end of this season, except for actively receiving contact from Aubameyang's agent who performed well in the Milan reserve team, Piacenza has no way to contact the players who are preparing to rent out of the giants.
First of all, he reached an agreement with Miran, who had long wanted to loan Aubameyang to Aubameyang on loan, who was increasingly restless in the reserve team but was not suitable for the first-team requirements. Piacenza determined the team's first signing in early July.
Afterwards, throughout the first half of July, Piacenza's favorite series of recruits were in a deadlock, and the team had to deal with some players who were not capable enough first.
This deadlock in introducing players was only improved with Conte's joining. After Conte participated in the team's signings, the progress of introducing high-quality players was greatly accelerated.
The team first contacted Juventus, who intends to sell Nocerino, and the senior executives of Piacenza who were impressed with his performance were still very impressed by this midfielder who left the team last season.
After observing Nocerino's performance in Juventus for a season, Conte nodded to the deal, and with his relationship with Juventus senior executives, Piacenza defeated his rival Palermo at a lower price.
In the end, the young midfielder who had left Piacenza for a year was successfully bought back for 7 million euros.
In addition, with full-back Lorenzo officially retired and Scapelli recovered from injury, Piacenza's backcourt also urgently needed to be supplemented.
During the club's inspection, several goals were selected and finally Astori, who had just completed his loan at Cremonese and returned to Milan.
Astori is definitely a qualified central defender, but he is too young and is still a little worse than the terrifying defensive lineup in Milan, so this time Milan completely decided to let go of this player who came from his own youth training.
In early August, Piacenza, who had not announced the news of the new player's joining, announced that the team had signed the young defender for 1.5 million euros after defeating rival Cagliari.
Immediately afterwards, the team reached an agreement with Lazio and successfully introduced full-back De Silvestery, who performed well in the team for 5.5 million euros.
Then, the club began to sign in some players who are capable of being in their first year of playing.
First, he bought the striker Flokari, who was in good shape from Atlanta for 850 euros, and strengthened his weak forward line after Guzman left the team.
The team's attention in the transfer market is on the offensive midfielder. People see that Liu Feng has frequently withdrawn from the midfielder last season. In the new season, this kind of waste of Liu Feng's offensive ability will never happen again.
However, the price of excellent offensive midfielders in the market is really high, and the value of several powerful players Piacenza has exceeded the price that Piacenza can pay.
In the end, Conte made a move. With his influence in football and good relationship with Juventus club senior management, he bought half of the ownership of Juventus' young midfielder Marcisio for 5 million euros.
The 22-year-old midfielder genius stayed with the club in Juventus' season of Serie B and helped the players return to Serie A with the highest score in Serie B in one season. His feelings for the team are very deep.
However, last season, Juventus, who recruited players after returning to Serie A, introduced a stronger midfielder, and Marchisio was loaned to Empoli.
After he returned to the club, the team's current coach was considering Marchisio's future, when Conte and Piacenza came with great sincerity.
Half of ownership and priority repurchase rights means that Juventus can exercise its rights at any time to buy back the player who comes from his own youth training and is absolutely loyal to the club.
Just as the club's person in charge of transfers said to him personally when Marchisio left the club: "Juventus is always your home, you can come back at any time."
After Marchisio confirmed to join the team, Piacenza also officially announced the news that the coach changed and the joining of this star player.
Piacenza fans who saw Juventus' incredible performance in Serie B in 2006-2007 naturally knew that this young player who performed well in Juventus midfield.
As the news of a player being introduced was summarized, the fans who kept watching the meritorious players left the team last season slowly calmed down.
In this summer window, the club's net investment in signings by deducting the income earned by selling players has reached more than 20 million euros, which can be said to be a shot of a heart-warming agent for Piacenza fans who are used to seeing the team's core sales every season.
Looking at the players who come from wealthy youth training or have wonderful performances in their teams, there is no doubt that Piacenza, who has made a lot of recruits, will definitely not be a Serie A season tour.
Except for the players notified the transactions by the club, Piacenza's other players did not receive much disturbance during the holidays. It was not until the day Conte was announced to be the team's new coach that they received a message together.
