Chapter 717 Persuasion 【Part [-]】
At Liverpool's John Lennon International Airport, Levi sat in the waiting room with a depressed face.
He is very eager to have a private jet now. It is more troublesome to take off a private jet in China. You need to apply [-] working days in advance (note that it is a working day, which is equivalent to three weeks), and then the approval authority will make a decision within ten working days. , to approve or disapprove.
It is different in Europe. Although there are many countries in Europe, because of the existence of the European Union, as long as it is an EU country, the declaration of private jets is very simple, and it can basically be done in about an hour.
And the airport is built in a suburb far away from the urban area. Basically, it is normal to drive to the airport for an hour, or even longer.
In other words, if you want to go abroad, you only need to make a phone call to arrange for the staff to declare, and then drive to the airport by yourself. After a simple security check, you can get on the plane and leave.
Now Li Wei expressed helplessly that even if he booked the fastest ticket, he would have to wait at the airport for two hours... provided the plane was not delayed.
…………
Walking out of the passageway of Milan Malpensa International Airport, it was already [-] pm at this time.
The only good news is that just after getting off the plane, Li Wei called Harry Thompson, and the other party told him that Pirlo was very happy when he learned that Li Wei flew to Milan to meet him in person. He agreed to Li Wei's invitation. At [-]:[-] p.m., the two parties secretly met in a hotel.
Because Li Wei didn't want to make things big, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he didn't convince Pirlo in the end?
When he came out, he also put on a disguise. In addition to wearing wide toad mirrors and a white mask, he also wore a peaked cap on his head.
Soon Levi saw the staff who greeted him, holding cards with the words "Welcome Edward of Liverpool to Milan" in English.
The reason why the name Edward was written was also to prevent Li Wei from being discovered by those all-pervasive reporters when he went to Milan.
You know, the airport is one of the most active places for these reporters.
…………
Time was very tight for Li Wei. It was already 15:[-] in the evening when he came to the city from Milan Malpensa International Airport.Li Wei only had time to rest briefly in the guest room for [-] minutes before heading to the box to meet Pirlo.
Pirlo arrived earlier than he expected. When Levi opened the door of the box room at 55:[-], he saw Pirlo and his agent Tinti sitting inside.
"It seems that I'm late!" Li Wei opened the door and laughed.
"No, we are early."
Seeing Levi come in, Pirlo and Tinti stood up, shook hands and sat down again.
Although Li Wei has not been coaching in Italy for a long time, only two seasons, these two seasons still allowed him to meet many people in Italy, such as Pirlo's agent Tinti who is sitting opposite him now.
Tinti is the big crocodile among Italian agents. In addition to being Pirlo's agent, he is also the agent of Inzaghi, Tony and other stars.And he and Levi knew each other because Tinti was the manager of Pacini, the former Parma striker hope, and Pacini was sold by Levi. Naturally, he also dealt with Tinti at that time.
"When Harry told me that Levi came to Italy in person, I was taken aback. I didn't expect that Liverpool valued me so much. This is my honor." Pirlo said to Levi with a smile on his face.
Li Wei knew that Pirlo's words were not implying that he was more inclined to Liverpool. Join Juventus.He is more familiar with the football style in Italy, but not in England. He has an instinctive resistance to England, which emphasizes physical contact. In fact, it is not just Pirlo who thinks so. Many technical players have resistance to England. They think When I arrived in England, I couldn't use my strengths at all. On the contrary, I would be sent to the hospital by a group of muscular guys to recuperate.
…………
Li Wei said: "Andrea, I believe that since Liverpool pursued you, you have also learned a little about Liverpool's situation."
Pirlo nodded and said: "Liverpool's performance this season is very shocking. You have a good chance to win the league championship and the Champions League championship, and achieve the dominance of the double crown."
Li Wei nodded and said: "Four days will be the match between Liverpool and Fulham, but I still choose to come to Italy at this point in time. I hope you understand my sincerity with Liverpool. I never make promises to Liverpool players easily. The promise of the main force, because I think it will make it easy for them to lose momentum, but I am willing to make an exception for Andrea. As long as you agree to join Liverpool, you will not play less than [-] times next season , All of this can be written into the contract.”
Pirlo said: "I have already felt the sincerity of Mr. Li Wei. I am not willing to deceive a person who treats me sincerely. Whether it is me or my family, they are more inclined to join Juventus."
After a pause, Pirlo said: "First, I am 32 years old, and I don't want to take risks to adapt to the new league. Second, I want to prove to AC Milan that I can still play football! This is my counterattack! And staying in England will undoubtedly allow AC Milan to feel my counterattack intuitively. Third, my family does not want to move to cold England, and they are not interested in learning new languages, nor are my children. They hope to adapt to the new school again, not to mention that they can't speak English now, which undoubtedly makes it difficult for them to integrate into the new environment."
Li Wei nodded in approval, there is a very important thing to pay attention to on the negotiating table.Don't always try to refute the other party and let the other party think that his point of view is wrong.
On the one hand, since the other party thinks his point of view is correct, there must be his reasons, and the subjective factors are very strong, so it is difficult to refute successfully.On the other hand, even if you successfully refute and silence the other party's ideas, a situation will easily occur-the other party becomes angry from embarrassment.
It doesn't matter if the other party is your competitor, but if you want to persuade the other party to help you, then you make him angry, and there is only one result, he makes you fail at the negotiating table.
"What you said is very reasonable. In fact, if I didn't appreciate you very much, Andrea, I would have already announced my best wishes for you to have a bright future in Juventus." Li Wei said sincerely.
Li Wei's words made Pirlo a little proud, who doesn't want to be recognized by others?What's more, Li Wei is not an ordinary person. He is a well-known head coach in Italy and even European football, and he is even promoted by the English media as a leader of the younger generation of head coaches.
This may be an exaggeration, but at least Levi deserves the title of "Europe's most successful young head coach".
Have you ever met a Champions League winner younger than Levi?
