The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Friday, a little late. I hope that readers don’t pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

While Zhuang Mingge and Mourinho finalized the Fiorentina summer signing plan, the European summer transfer market is still extremely prosperous.Although affected by the overall sluggish economic environment, there were almost no transactions with a single transfer fee exceeding US$04 million in the transfer market in the summer of 2000, but in terms of player quality and popularity, there is not much difference from previous years. The gap, the only gap is only in the number that symbolizes the player's worth.

In such a big environment, when most teams have almost consumed the ammunition in their hands, except for Lazio under the control of Abramovich who is still desperately swaying rubles in their hands to dig people around to upgrade the lineup, There are basically no clubs in European football that can compete financially with Fiorentina.Not to mention, the first teams of most clubs are now at full capacity, even if they want to intercept Hoover Fiorentina, they are powerless.

After confirming this, Zhuang Mingge quietly started to operate the recruitment plan that he had made before, and sent out all the generals under his command, preparing to complete all the transfer work as soon as possible, so that the team would have more potential. Time to grind the lineup.

After all, because Zhuang Mingge deliberately stood still in the transfer market in order to avoid being affected by other teams' malicious price hikes, and pretended to dig potential from within, when Fiorentina started to act, there was only one player left before the start of the new season. It's been about a month.This also means that even if Fiorentina's transfer work goes well this summer, Viola's pre-season preparations will be greatly affected.

On July 7, Fiorentina, who had been silent since the opening of the summer transfer window, finally announced their first signings this summer.Martin Jorgensen, an all-rounder in the frontcourt, Danish national team and Udinese's midfielder, joined Viola for 29 million euros and became the No.600 player introduced by Fiorentina this summer!

Due to a serious injury a few years ago, although Jorgensen is still regarded as a very good midfielder, he is no longer the talented midfielder that made the big giants covet him back then. up.It is precisely because of this that Jorgensen agreed to Fiorentina's invitation and agreed to play for three years at the Frankie Stadium as a substitute player, just to have the opportunity to add a few more championship trophies to his honor book and avoid retirement When there was nothing to commemorate, it would be too sad.

Immediately afterwards, the day after Jorgensen announced that he would join Viola, Thiago Silva also became a member of this top club. Fiorentina only paid 400 million euros for this prospect Innumerable Brazilian central defenders.

However, when everything was going on in an orderly manner, Zhuang Mingge, who was in charge of the overall situation in Florence, got a piece of not-so-good news from Antonioni, who was negotiating with Real Sociedad about the transfer of Alonso.

"Giancarlo (Antonioni), you mean, Alonso expressed his unwillingness to play in Fiorentina?" Zhuang Mingge asked in disbelief.Although it was estimated that Alonso might reject Florence, but when the facts happened before his eyes, Zhuang Mingge was somewhat reluctant to believe, "Could it be because of Mendieta and the others that Alonso's disapproval of Playing football in Italy created fear?"

It is reasonable for Zhuang Mingge to think so.You know, Mendieta, who was the core of Spain's new generation of midfielders, was so glorious, but eventually fell to Lazio, and has never been able to regain his former peak state since then.This deed really frightened many Spanish players, and made many Spanish players fear the Italian league, for fear of repeating the mistakes of Mendieta and becoming the next victim.

"Boss, this is just one of the reasons why Alonso refused to join Fiorentina." Antonioni on the other end of the phone smiled wryly at this time, and he did not expect that after the Real Sociedad club was settled, the player himself would clearly express his refusal. Attitude, "Another reason is that he hopes to play in a team that can give him the main position, instead of being someone's rotation or even a substitute."

After hearing Antonioni's explanation, Zhuang Mingge's heart immediately understood.He knew that Fiorentina would definitely miss out on the Spanish midfielder.

"Forget it, nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life. Since Alonso is unwilling to play in Fiorentina, we can't force it." Zhuang Mingge can only comfort himself in this way for this transfer that is doomed to fail, "Fortunately, I prepared a few candidate targets in advance, otherwise it would be really troublesome."

Therefore, after Alonso's transfer was announced to fall through, Zhuang Mingge began to operate the transaction to introduce Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich.However, to Zhuang Minge's surprise, Fiorentina once again encountered Waterloo in the transfer market this time, and the whole process was almost exactly the same as Xavi Alonso's transfer!

Faced with Viola's offer of 1000 million euros plus Chigarini, Ribery and Moretti's transfer offer, both Rummenigge and Hoeness readily agreed to let them go, but when Antonioni went to talk to When Schweinsteiger discussed personal treatment, the Fiorentina general manager once again received a closed door: Schweinsteiger said that in order to represent the national team in the World Cup held in Germany two years later, he is not willing to Leave Bayern Munich, which can provide him with enough opportunities to play, and play in Fiorentina, which is more competitive!

The reason for such an embarrassing situation is mainly because Fiorentina was upset and eliminated by Chelsea in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League last season. In terms of strength, it has become almost the same as other top giants.In this way, Florence's attractiveness to these players has naturally declined a lot invisibly.

If it was the Fiorentina team that won the league and the Champions League double last year, Alonso and the others would be absolutely happy even if they came to the Viola as a substitute.You know, Fiorentina at its peak has such attractiveness and level, even those players who play here in rotation or even as substitutes are eligible to occupy a place in the national team.The best example is Davis and Di Biagio back then.
