"Marchisio has signed a five-year contract with Inter Milan. I won't put him in the reserves, nor will I loan him out. He will stay in the Inter Milan First Team, and I will give him opportunities to play," Li Ang said.
Old Marchisio was shocked. He thought for a moment. "Will you really let him stay in the First Team and give him opportunities?"
"Yes, this is a guarantee. It can be written in the contract. In the first season, I will give him at least ten opportunities to play. As for whether he can continue to win opportunities, it will depend on his performance."
Old Marchisio was tempted. This condition could be said to be very generous. Marchisio had been playing in the youth team and had not had any experience in the First Team. Li Ang could win and give his son ten opportunities to play. Although he could guess that most of them would be as a substitute, it was Inter Milan's First Team. It was great to be able to get opportunities.
"I'm talking about the opportunity to play in Serie A, like the Coppa Italia. If I'm satisfied with Claudio's performance, I'll consider giving him a chance to start in the Coppa Italia." Li Ang once again put in a lot of weight.
Marchisio Sr. glanced at his son. Marchisio Jr.'s eyes lit up. Although he was trained by Juventus, Marchisio Jr. could not help but be tempted by his desire to play.
"Mr. Li Ang, I want to know why you value Claudio so much. He has not had any experience in the First Team," Marchisio Sr. said.
"I have faith in him!" Li Ang said seriously.
This sentence became the final weight that made Marchisio Sr. make up his mind. The manager's appreciation and value were more important than anything else.
"Mr. Li Ang, please allow me to discuss with Claudio."
Li Ang nodded and got up to leave for the time being.

"Son, what do you think?"
"Dad, I think it's good, but I can't bear to leave Juventus."
"Son, I'm just asking you. If I don't consider other factors, will you agree?"
Marchisio Jr. was silent. On the one hand, it was his loyalty to Juventus. On the other hand, there was almost no hope for him to enter the First Team at Juventus. On the other hand, it was a sincere invitation from the Inter Milan manager.
Finally, the desire to play in a match, the desire to stand out, took over.
Marchisio Jr. nodded.
"Alright, son, leave everything to me," Old Marchisio said.
Li Ang came back again.
Old Marchisio reached out his hand. "Coach Li Ang, Claudio has agreed to go to Milan."
"This will be an important choice in Claudio's career!" Li Ang smiled and shook hands with Marchisio Sr., then he extended his right hand to Marchisio Jr.
The shy lad stretched out his right hand in a fluster. He was not used to shaking hands. No big shot had ever taken the initiative to shake hands with him. That's right. As the manager of Inter Milan, Li Ang was a real big shot to him.
"Welcome to Li Ang's team," Li Ang said with a smile.
*****
Li Ang quickly settled Marchisio Jr. In order to avoid any undue delay, the general manager of Inter Milan, Oriali, came to Turin overnight to sign a contract with Marchisio Jr.
The 19-year-old Claudio Marchisio signed a five-year contract with Inter Milan. Li Ang promised to give Marchisio Jr. at least ten appearances in the First Team in the first season.
Li Ang looked at Marchisio Jr. who was happy and a little disappointed after signing the contract. He knew that the captain of the Juventus youth team was a little reluctant to leave the Bianconeri.
Li Ang did not care about this. He believed that Marchisio Jr. would get more opportunities to play under him and continue to improve. This young man would feel lucky about his choice today.
In the original strange history, after Marchisio Jr. renewed his contract with Juventus, he continued to play in the reserve team. After the Calciopoli incident in the summer of 2006, Juventus was punished to be relegated to Serie B, and Marchisio Jr. really got the opportunity to play in the Serie B and contribute to Juventus' return to Serie A. However, in the summer of returning to Serie A, Juventus, who was determined to recover their lost ground in Serie A, immediately "abandoned" Marchisio Jr. who was trained by their youth team. Instead, they wantonly brought in famous star players. Marchisio Jr. was also loaned to Empoli.
A day later, the head of Juventus' youth training, Alexandre Salvadore, did not wait for Marchisio Sr. at the Vivorno training base. Instead, he received a guilt-filled call from Marchisio Jr.
Almost at the same time, Inter Milan's official website announced that the team had signed a five-year contract with the captain of the Juventus youth team, Claudio Marchisio.
Inter Milan actually dared to poach Juventus and "seduce" the captain of the Juventus youth team.
Although Juventus had a lot of star players now and did not pay much attention to Marchisio Jr., Inter Milan's behavior still aroused great anger from Juventus' general manager, Moggi.
Moggi then publicly fired at Li Ang in the media, criticizing Li Ang for using despicable means to "seduce" the captain of the Juventus youth team. He said that Juventus would not let this matter rest.
Li Ang did not care at all. As the manager of Inter Milan, he was destined to have a hostile relationship with Juventus. They would be enemies sooner or later. One or two days would not make a difference.
As for Inter Milan's fans, they did not know much about Marchisio Jr. However, he was, after all, the captain of the Juventus youth team. They took advantage of Juventus. This made the Inter Milan fans very happy. They praised Li Ang on the forum.
This was something that Li Ang did not expect. Poaching Marchisio Jr. would actually win him the favor of the Inter Milan fans. It was a pleasant surprise.
*****
Subsequently, Li Ang did not stop. He put the young defender, Potenza, and the Dutch midfielder, Davids, on the transfer market.
The veteran, Gamara, who had been on the transfer market for a long time, finally found a place to go.
The Brazilian team, Palmeiras, acquired the veteran Paraguayan defender for a friendly price of 500,000 euros.
Li Ang remembered that in the original track of history, Gamara had been transferred to Palmeiras on a free transfer. Now, he could receive a transfer fee of 500,000 euros. This was not bad. After all, this veteran did not have much attraction on the transfer market.
Gamara's transfer, Potenza was also on the transfer market. Coupled with Koke, who was also on the transfer market, Inter Milan's defensive line was cleaned up. Now, Inter Milan's center back combination was Materazzi and Cordoba. However, it was impossible to count on these two to last for a season. Li Ang had to consider bringing in a top center back on the transfer market.
