The Era of Emerald

Ever since Ginola was cut off from the middle by Blackburn, Karin has changed her original image of a little witch, as gentle and considerate as a different person.Zhuang Mingge was very surprised by this, but he didn't say much. Of course, he understood why Karin had changed so much in the past few days, and he also knew that Karin's friendship with him could not be expressed simply with words or money. Yes, you can only answer silently with your own actions.

However, the top priority now is to find a player who can play the role of "fusion agent" as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhuang Mingge was staying in the hotel room, holding a list in his hand to write and draw, and he kept talking to himself:

"Ronaldo... No, he's too young. At 17, he can't provide the immediate combat power the team needs."

"Luis Figo is not good either. Although he meets the standards in all aspects, he is a representative figure of Portugal's golden generation. No matter what Sporting Lisbon says, he will not let him join a second division team."

"Although Paul Futre is not a good choice. After leaving Atletico Madrid, his state declined quickly, but it is also a barely acceptable choice to play half a season on loan from Marseille..."

"Ah, what a hassle! Damn Blackburn!" Zhuang Mingge rubbed his hair indiscriminately with a headache, "If you don't go and buy Sutton, you have to go to France to mess with something..."

"Well, let me think about it again, who else can accept the conditions of Fiorentina..."

First of all, there is no need to participate in the World Cup in the United States next year. After all, there are very few national team coaches who are willing to choose players who can participate in the World Cup from teams in the second division;

Secondly, players need to be able to immediately provide Fiorentina with reliable immediate combat power;

The last point is that this player must be comprehensive enough, and must have a good level of breakthroughs, crosses, and shots.

Thanks to Zhuang Mingge, the time we live in is 1993. Since the Bosman Act has not yet been implemented, European teams can only have 3 foreign players starting each game, so most teams only focus on domestic players body.

For those foreign players, many teams generally only know of their existence in the national team games or in the European arena, and foreign players who have shown se in these games will be considered by these teams.A more famous example is Schmeichel. Before he became famous in the European Cup in 92, he could only dormant in the Danish league. He saved Basten's penalty in the European Cup and became famous in one fell swoop. Schmeichel is 29 years old.

Therefore, many powerful players had to stay silent in their home leagues until they retired because they had no chance to show their talents in intercontinental competitions.

Zhuang Mingge wants to take advantage of the "blind spots" in the scouting system of European clubs at this time to find players suitable for Fiorentina.

"Elber, Zidane, Micoud..." Zhuang Mingge wrote down these names that would be widely heard in later generations, and then crossed them all out, leaving only one name, "Others are simply not suitable for the current Florence. .”

And the name that has not been crossed out is - Yuri Djorkaeff.

Yuri Djorkaeff, born on March 1968, 3, currently plays for the Monaco club in Ligue 9. His position on the field is the attacking midfielder, and he can also play as a left midfielder and forward. His excellent skills make him the organizer of the midfield attack. He has a wide field of vision and outstanding awareness. He is also very good at free kicks and often has amazing works.

Zhuang Mingge chose Djorkaeff for three reasons:

The first point is that the French national team has already been eliminated in the qualifiers, and Djorkaeff does not have to worry about the transfer affecting his possibility of participating in the next year's World Cup;

Secondly, Djorkaeff's technical style is quite consistent with the "fusion agent" that Zhuang Mingge is looking for. He can break through the goal by himself, or assist as an organizer, and can effectively connect Effenberg and Batistuta. Is the team as a whole;

Third, in the memory of Zhuang Mingge, Djorkaeff's performance at Inter Milan and the French national team proved that he is a very good team player. Caused conflicts within the team.

The only problem is whether Djorkaeff can be persuaded to agree to join Fiorentina. Although the opinions of the players can't influence his own direction at this time, Zhuang Mingge still hopes to make the players feel more valued, so as to strengthen the players. Regarding the club's sense of belonging, it is not possible to leave the team like fleeing hell as soon as the Bosman Act is implemented.

Zhuang Mingge is not worried that Monaco's head coach Wenger will obstruct this transfer. Wenger, who has a background in economics, never thinks that any player is indispensable, just like when he later coached Arsenal, he cultivated Cesc Fabregas Then Vieira was sold, Van Persie and Adebayor grew up and let Henry go, and had trouble with Bergkamp and Pires successively for the team's total salary.

Zhuang Mingge had made up his mind and informed Karin of his intention to sign Djorkaeff. Karin immediately arranged their itinerary in Monaco and informed the Monaco club by the way.

In this way, the two left Paris, the flower capital, and came to Monaco, the casino city in the south of France.

Although Monaco is a strong team in Ligue 11, it has also advanced to the next round of the Champions League (due to Marseille being disqualified, Paris Saint-Germain, who was runner-up last season, refused to replace Marseille in the Champions League, and finally Monaco, the third runner-up of the league Participation), but their performance in the league this season is not ideal, currently only ranked [-]th in Ligue [-], Wenger's coaching position is in jeopardy, he needs a transfer fee to strengthen the team in winter.

As we all know, although Monaco is known as the "royal team", it is an out-and-out poor team. It often relies on selling players to maintain operations. Therefore, the Monaco club has no objection to Zhuang Mingge's poaching behavior this time. I hope that the opponent can be as generous as possible when introducing their own players.

The top management of the Monaco club directly entrusted the transfer negotiation to the head coach Arsene Wenger, and told him that the transfer fee can be used in the transfer market, so Wenger is very active in this negotiation.

"Hello, Mr. Corleone, time is tight, let's make a long story short, I wonder which player from our club you came to Monaco this time?"

"Mr. Wenger, let me be straightforward. I hope to introduce your club's offensive midfielder, Yuri Djorkaeff."

"Djorkaeff is the core player of our team and is not for sale."

"I don't think there's ever been a player for Monaco that's really not for sale, don't you Mr Wenger?"

"U.S. $800 million, you can take Djorkaeff away with a one-time payment." Wenger thought about it and gave the price he wanted.

"Impossible, I can buy Luther Gullit for 800 million." Zhuang Mingge immediately retorted, "Luther is a superstar, Djorkaeff has only played for the French team once so far, and he is worth 300 at most Ten thousand."

"Just playing once now doesn't mean there will be no chance in the future."

"You're right, but Djorkaeff is almost 26 years old, you and I understand that players of this age have no potential, and he only made his first national team appearance last month. France lost 2:3 to Israel, which shows that his ability is limited." Zhuang Mingge did not make the slightest concession, staring at Wenger, "Now that the French coach Houllier has dismissed get out of class, no one knows the next national team. Whether the team coach will continue to use this group of players, Ginola has bid farewell to the national team, not to mention Djorkaf, a fringe member of the national team."

"It is said that Houllier's assistant coach Aimee Jacquet should take over his position. This is a French tradition. He proposed to recruit Djorkaeff into the national team." Wenger said, "700 million, no more not enough."

"500 million. If Florence succeeds in upgrading this season, an additional 150 million will be added." Zhuang Mingge gave his own conditions. Now he still has a lot of places to use the money in his hand, and he can't just spend it casually. , as long as the events in my memory happen as scheduled, every dollar now will become a hundred dollars or even more in the near future.

"It is impossible for us to accept payment in installments. The club now needs to use Djorkaeff's transfer fee to strengthen the team. 500 million is not enough." Wenger straightforwardly showed his hole card, "650 million, must One-time payment, otherwise I would rather keep Yuri (Djorkaeff)."

Zhuang Mingge saw that Wenger was so determined, so he had no choice but to agree to his offer. When the two shook hands, Zhuang Mingge decided to mention this coach he respects a lot. After all, he has trained countless excellent players:

"Mr. Wenger, if you don't mind, I have a few promising French players here, but due to the limitation of foreign aid quota, we can't introduce them, but if you have time, you can send scouts to observe, I believe I will disappoint you." Zhuang Mingge took a piece of paper from the conference table and wrote down the names of several players and the clubs they played for:

Zinedine Zidane, Bordeaux;

Claude Makelele, Nantes;

Vincent Candela, Toulouse;

Fabian Barthez, Marseille.
