 Helper 3rd of July 2007
Things were working out, so I thought it was time to start thinking about more further future. I wanted to be here for long, I wanted to be succesful so that's why I was walking to the airport in Bucharesti earlier in the morning.
I was meeting a friend of mine, he was here to help me. He was going to be on the club's payroll. He is my right hand man, but he isn't going to be an assistant manager or anything.
He is more like an office role, he will help me handle many stuff, from business to relationships. He knows about football and how it's done, he has got a 10 year experience, I met him in Rome many years ago in one business dinner. He isn't old eventhough with vast of experience, just over thirty.
"Here, Ciccio!" I shouted at him, Ciccio is a short for Francesco. "There you are, where are the contracts?" he asked me with a grin in his face.
"Hours away from here. Haven't seen you in ages," I told him. He went on to explain what had gone on in his life until we sat into my rental car.
There we started talking about some more important stuff.
"So, you know how it works?" I asked him. "Ofcourse I do. We will win! no matter what," he had a clever tone on his voice.
"I don't know about the corruption in this league, but I tend to think it's huge. Over that space of time I've spent here things really seem to be very weird. We need to use that immediately," I told him.
"Yes. I hope we don't need to do dirty stuff, but we cannot have any risk. I want you to win the title, I promised to help you become one of the best known managers in the world. I will fill in my promise," he answered.
"What are you planing next?" he asked me.
"I don't know. I'm still on the verge of a dilemma. I like the bunch I have available, but there could be some nice additions available. I think I watch the couple of first games of the season first and then maybe make some last minute deals."
Sooner or later we shifted teams and during the long drive back to Timisoara there was much to talk between old friends. |
