The Era of Emerald

() Galliani's sudden visit made it too late for Moratti, who had just finalized Kanu, to celebrate this, and hurriedly went to Kluivert to discuss the conditions for joining Inter Milan.

And it is not only the Serie A team that is eyeing the fertile football ground of the Netherlands.

On the day Galliani arrived in Amsterdam, the English team, which has been eager to regain the right to speak in European football, also began its own actions.It's just that they didn't set their sights on those big clubs, because they knew very well that the attractiveness of the Premier League teams could not keep up with those of the Serie A teams, so the Premier League coaches focused their attention on the second and third ranks of the Dutch League. on the club.

This time, the Premier League clubs, which have condensed into one rope and fought in the form of legions, launched a frenzied acquisition operation in the Netherlands, the paradise of European football. Players who played for clubs other than the three giants of League One have thrown themselves into the embrace of the Premier League through free transfers.However, in the eyes of these small clubs, such a loss can be barely borne. After all, there is the most unlucky big brother Ajax in front of them...

But none of this has anything to do with Zhuang Mingge. After resting overnight at the local hotel in Eindhoven, the energetic Zhuang Mingge met with the general manager of the Eindhoven club in the hotel room early the next morning—— Frank Arneson.

Although Arnesen, who was not yet 39 years old at this time, has become the general manager of the Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven, he is obviously far from the "dominant" kind of "domineering" in order to poach a player in later generations. The tone was still very gentle. Of course, this may also have something to do with Zhuang Mingge's identity.

"Chairman Corleone, yesterday I called Ronaldo himself. He is still on vacation in Brazil, but he is very happy to join a club with great prospects like Fiorentina, so as long as the work contract you offer in the end can be If he is satisfied and both of us can reach an agreement on the transfer fee, then the deal can go through."

"Does Ronaldo know that we have Batistuta in Fiorentina's first team? Inzaghi and a lot of forwards?" After the "Seedorf Incident", Zhuang Mingge did not have much hope for the introduction of Ronaldo. This time I came to Eindhoven purely with the attitude of giving it a try. I didn't expect Ronaldo himself to be quite enthusiastic about joining Fiorentina.

"Ronnie (Ronaldo's nickname), of course he knows, Fiorentina is making a big splash this year, how could they not notice?" Arnesen smiled indifferently and said, "Won the league as a newly promoted Serie A A double title with the European Cup Winners' Cup, this is not something that an ordinary team can achieve."

"Batistuta, Inzaghi, and Montella, who broke the curse of [-] goals in Serie A, are all excellent forwards with good strength, plus Roberto Baggio, whom you have already determined... I think, Ronaldo After Ronnie goes to Fiorentina, he will face a lot of competitive pressure." Arnesen took a sip of coffee and continued, "I personally think that Ronnie is very happy that he can find a place in Fiorentina's first team. Confidence, so he doesn't care who his competitors are."

Zhuang Mingge thinks that Arnesen's analysis is very reliable. Thinking back to when later generations were at Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri's strikers were also overcrowded: Vieri, Recoba, Baggio, Zamorano...but as long as Ronaldo If he is allowed to play, he will definitely play in the game, no matter how big the player is, he will not be able to take his place.

Perhaps it is precisely because Ronaldo believes so much in his abilities that he has no objection to joining the fiercely competitive Fiorentina.

After solving the doubts about Ronaldo, it is naturally time for the two sides to bargain.

"800 million US dollars, paid in one lump sum." Zhuang Mingge still did not change his nature, wanting to take advantage of it.

"It is impossible for us to accept this offer, Chairman Corleone." Arnesen also entered the state of negotiation, "Ronaldo scored [-] goals in the Eredivisie League last season. In the last ten years, only Bastenda has, you know what I mean?"

"But don't forget that the defensive strength of Italy and the Netherlands is not at the same level at all. Moreover, Bergkamp, ​​the best shooter in the Eredivisie who came to Italy last time, did not perform very well in Serie A." Zhuang Mingge Immediate objections were raised.

"We all know what Dennis (Bergkamp)'s ability is. Looking at his performance in the World Cup last year, we know that he is definitely not a parallel importer. The reason why he did not perform well in Serie A can only be said to be international. Milan are completely wrong about him, $2000 million."

"But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that Bergkamp did not adapt to Serie A. Moratti sold him to Arsenal almost at the price of cabbage last month. Similarly, we in Florence have to bear the same risk when we introduce Ronaldo. $1000 million."

"Ajax sold Basten to AC Milan for $300 million, and Ajax was the laughing stock of European football for many years." Arnesen also quoted the classics and refused to budge, "1800 For $[-], Florence can take Ronnie away."

In this way, after the bargaining process between you and me was over, an agreement was finally reached on the issue of the transfer fee: Fiorentina will introduce Ronaldo at a club-record price of US$1750 million, only waiting for the Brazilian striker Sign your name on the contract and the deal is done.

To be honest, Zhuang Minge's choice of this time to introduce Ronaldo is very correct, because at this time, most of the giants who want to introduce strikers are chasing Kluivert of the European overlord AC Milan in the Champions League final. It is the Liberian striker George Weah who has shown se in the Champions League, and the Premier League clubs are paying attention to the local center Alan Shearer. They are still unable to intervene in a striker battle of this level.

Here, Zhuang Mingge would also like to thank Milan. If it weren’t for the strength and dominance they have shown in various competitions in the past few years, otherwise Ajax would not have given Milan the unceremonious overthrow in the final this time. They brought such a high degree of popularity and attention that the light of Ronaldo, who is the best shooter in the Eredivisie, was completely overshadowed by Ajax.

When everyone's eyes were on the free players of Ajax, Zhuang Mingge quietly signed one of the greatest strikers in the future world, and at the same time created the most terrifying striker in Europe in the future striker group.
