Chapter 35 Piedmont Debbie

Dulini Street, at the Inter Milan headquarters, in the office of transfer manager Blanca.

On Blanca's desk, there was a stack of open newspapers, which was just published today. The newspaper had been turned to the page to report on the Serie B League, and the headline on the front page reads: "Who will dominate the Piedmont Derby?"

The Piedmont region is a region in northwest Italy. The capital is Turin, which includes six provinces including Cuneo and Novara. The so-called Piedmont derby hyped by Turin Sports News refers to the game between two clubs from two provinces in this region. It is the upcoming focus battle in the fifth round of Serie B. The leader Novara fights against the veteran strong team Turin!

Turin, the oldest football club in Italy's history, was once a top giant, and now it is a super strong team in the Serie B. Although he suffered two consecutive losses at the beginning of this season, he quickly recovered in the last two games and ushered in a strong rebound with two consecutive victories. In these two games, the Bulls conceded only 1 goal, but scored a total of 6 goals, showing a very good state.

Novara, the name does not sound as prominent as the Bulls, but it is the most popular team in the Serie B since the season. Although it is just a team that has just been upgraded from the C League, the club does not perform like a promoted team at all.

It is said that the team's training base is built on the Italian highest level of Milanello and Appiano. It has many training grounds with natural and artificial turfs, which are very commendable. From this detail, the ambition of this club can be seen.

Last season, when Novara was still in the League C, he led his head coach Tessel, and defeated the Serie A team such as Parma and Siena, and successfully reached the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup. It was only in the semi-finals that Novara defeated the top Apennines ACP Milan with one goal, and ended his dark horse journey in the Italian Cup with a regret.

Despite this, in the Italian Cup, Novara never lost more than two goals in a game against a powerful Serie A opponent. Such defensive intensity surprised everyone who is concerned about the game.

Before the start of the Serie B League this season, Novara's club executives directly set their goal this season as: at least enter the upgrade play-offs! You know, this is just the first season of Novara's promotion to Serie B!

After the start of the season, Novara's outstanding performance proved to everyone that the goal set by the club is by no means an empty slogan. In the four league games that have ended, Novara remained unbeaten with 3 wins and 1 draw, and scored 7 goals and conceded only 2 goals, which is even more proud of the Serie B heroes, occupying the top spot in the significance standings in one fell swoop.

In the last three games, Novara has won three consecutive victories, scoring six goals and conceding only one goal, and the popularity is in no time.

In the Novara team, forward Bertani has scored four goals in the league and is the top scorer in the Serie B. The 21-year-old young goalkeeper Ujkani is already the main goalkeeper of the Albanian national team. His outstanding strength and excellent performance have attracted the covetousness of many high-level league clubs. In addition, there are also powerful players such as Morganella, Rudy, and Li Suzo, and the team is very strong.

In fact, in Chu Jiang's rebirth, Novara successfully upgraded in the Serie B League this year and completed the two-level jump feat. Moreover, in Novara's first Serie A season, they defeated the powerful Inter Milan with a score of 3:1 at home, which directly led to the fire of Gasperini, the then head coach of Inter Milan. From this, it can be seen that this team is indeed very powerful.

Torino vs. Novara, one is a traditional giant and the other is a popular upstart. It is both a confrontation between old and new forces and a Piedmont regional derby. The collision between these two powerful teams naturally attracted the attention of many media reports.

Because Turin Sports Daily has put this competition into focus as the front page headline of the Serie B sector today, it is naturally reasonable.

However, what surprised Blanca was the illustrations attached to this report.

In the illustration, a player dressed in the Torino goalkeeper's uniform was celebrating the goal. Since the shot given was on the back, the player's appearance could not be seen. However, the back of the player's jersey was printed with "chu9-8"! The narration of the picture reads: "Scoring twice, magical Chu! Will he become the master of this derby?"

"Corso, do you show me this newspaper? Do you want me to see this illustration?" Blanca said with a relaxed smile. Blanca is not unfamiliar with the players in the illustration. He had tried out at the Inter Milan youth training camp more than a month ago. Moreover, the reason why he was able to join Turin was also a credit for Blanca, although it was only at the invitation of Corso.

"Of course. I just want you to see. The player I recommended before is really a genius!" Corso looked very proud. As a scout, the better the player he found, the more he can prove that the scout's unique vision. Chu Jiang's outstanding performance in the Turin team naturally made Corso feel very happy!

"To be honest, this Oriental player is indeed beyond my expectations when he can play as a main player in Turin at such a young age and at such a fast speed."

"However, just playing as a main player in the Serie B team doesn't seem to explain too many problems." Blanca said with a constant expression, "The way he will take in the future is still very long."

"I know."

Corso was very calm about Blanca's doubts.

"Now, for Chu, it's just the beginning. I believe that Chu will be stronger in the future. Marco, you will regret not signing him."

"Haha, I hope so! You are selling him so hard, isn't he taking him any benefits, or is he just his grandson? Haha!" Blanca quipped.

Corso also laughed, "If I really have such a grandson, I will be content! By the way, Marco, I made an appointment with a friend to go and see this derby. Do you have any players that I need for you to inspect?"

"Well, I think about it." Blanca thought for a while and said, "You focus on the central defender of Turin, Ogbonner, that player seems to be pretty good. Someone told me that seeing him is like seeing Deselli when he was young. Moreover, I have also received some news recently. It is said that the national team head coach Prandley is also inspecting this guy and preparing to call him into the national team. You know, our central defenders are all too old and need some young and potential guys to bring us fresh blood."

"In addition, we rented Stefanovic to Turin. If he has the opportunity to play, please help pay attention to his growth. Another one is the Albanian national goaltender of Novara, you can also take a look. At that time, don't focus your attention on the Chinese goalkeeper alone, haha!"

"Haha, I will definitely complete the task! However, I believe that among these people, Chu will definitely be the one who performs the most dazzlingly!"

At the same time, at the Palermo Club, Vosky's desk also placed the same Turin Sports Newspaper. On the page that spread out, Chu Jiang's picture is clearly visible.

"It's interesting."

Vosky tapped the table gently with his finger, looking thoughtful.

"Is it possible that it is because of this kid that Petrachi gave up Rubinho? Well... It seems that there is such a possibility. Being able to get Petrachi so much attention means that this kid should have something in his stomach. Maybe there is a business coming again!"

Thinking of this, Vosky grabbed the phone on the table.

"Troja, there is a Serie B game in Turin on the weekend, you can go and see it. Yes, that's on Saturday afternoon."

"It's not Ogbonna, that one has been targeted for a long time. What I want you to pay attention to is the goalkeeper of Turin. Yes, it's him. Don't forget, remember to give me a report about him after the game!"

In Chievo.

"Hey, Pagano, you're here just right!"

Seeing Pagano hurried past the door, Chivo General Manager Giovannisartori quickly went out and called him.

"Giovani, are you asking me for something?" Pagano stopped and said in confusion.

"Well. I just received a call from Mr. Kelo, the chairman of the Turin team. He asked me how much I could buy the other half of Chu's ownership. It was the Chinese goalkeeper who just transferred to Turin and you were responsible for signing the contract."

"Chu? It seems that he played well in Turin, and he was recognized by the team so quickly." Pagano seemed a little surprised. Although he expected that with Chu Jiang's ability, he would get a chance in Turin. But he still did not expect that Turin accepted Chu Jiang so quickly and took the initiative to make an acquisition request. Although it was just a tentative inquiry, it fully demonstrated the team's importance to him.

"Yes, I didn't even think of that player. I'm not familiar with that player, so I thought of asking you to talk to you and listen to your opinions."

"Chu is a very potential player. Among the players I have seen, his potential should be one of the best. If the club intends to sell him, now may not be the best time."

Pagano thought about it again and again before answering. As soon as Satoli asked, he knew what Satoli was going to ask about him.

Generally speaking, there are no non-selling members of a Serie A club like Chievo. Any player, even a coach, can be negotiated as long as he has a suitable bid. Satori's job is to get the most benefit from it. Therefore, after receiving a call from the Bulls Chairman, Satori, as a businessman, had his first reaction to how to sell Chujiang to the highest price.

"Well, I think so too. He has just played a few games. No matter how good he performed, his current value will definitely not be high." Satoli nodded and agreed with Pagano's opinion.

"This weekend, there is a Chujiang game. I want you to check out how he performed in Turin." After thinking for a while, Satoli continued.

"Okay, no problem. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I just miss him a little, haha!" Pagano agreed readily.

While these three Serie A clubs are preparing to send scouts to inspect this game, Juventus, who is in Turin City, is also preparing to conduct a preliminary investigation of Chujiang.
