The Era of Emerald

( ) The day after the negotiations ended, a five-year contract with a weekly salary of [-] U.S. dollars and Ronaldo's name on it was faxed to the PSV PSV office from as far away as Rio de Janeiro. <>

After getting the contract, Zhuang Mingge really breathed a sigh of relief: If there are no major accidents, Fiorentina's striker combination for the next five years will not need to be replaced.

The next job is for Eindhoven and Fiorentina to report the transfer to their respective national football associations and file.

After exchanging a "happy cooperation" with Arnesen, Zhuang Mingge and his team left Eindhoven and returned to Amsterdam, where they planned to fly back to Florence.

Now Amsterdam is full of heroes from all walks of life, the general manager of AC Milan, Galliani, the big boss of Inter Milan, Massimo Moratti, the vice chairman of Barcelona, ​​Gaspart, the head coach of Real Madrid, Valdano... …even Juventus' Mo Laohu was dispatched, and his target is said to be Ajax goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

However, Zhuang Mingge does not plan to "carve up Ajax" with these people again. After the transfer target of the trip to the Netherlands was settled, Zhuang Mingge and his party did not stop in Amsterdam, and directly boarded the plane and returned to Florence .

……

"Hey, Gabriel, why didn't you go on vacation with your family, but flew back to Florence?" After returning to Florence, Zhuang Mingge was surprised to find that Batistuta had returned to the club before him, and carried out basic recovery training.

"Oh, boss, don't mention it, this time we met Brazil in the quarter-finals of the America's Cup." <>" Batistuta shook his head and smiled wryly when he mentioned this trip to Uruguay, "You also know the The Cup schedule is very tight, No.15 finished the last group match, and only one day later we were going to play against the Brazilians in the knockout round, and we were tragically eliminated."

"Uh, who is the winner of the America's Cup this time?"

"It was Uruguay. They defeated Brazil in the final, but this is probably the last major trophy they can get." Batistuta seems not to care about Uruguay's victory this time, "Franciscoli said in this session After the cup, he officially announced his withdrawal from the Uruguayan national team, and the remaining players alone are not enough to become a first-class team.”

In fact, this is also the case, although the Uruguayan national team also had first-class stars such as Fonseca, Poyet, and Montero, and later stars such as Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez, and Edinson Cavani emerged. , But generally speaking, after the departure of Franciscoli, the Uruguayan national team has never had a "marshal" who can command the entire army.

To be honest, the Argentine team, which had won the Copa America twice in a row before, was extremely tragic in this competition. After defeating Bolivia and Chile successively, the Blue and White Army led by Passarella actually lost [-]-[-] in the last group match It was given to the US team, thus losing the sure-fire first title in the group, and had to meet Brazil in the quarter-finals ahead of schedule.

In this quarter-final, just 1 minute into the game, Brazilian goalkeeper Taffarel's accidental release gave Balbo a fantastic start for Argentina, and then "The Beast" Edmondo's goal helped Brazil equalize The score, and then Batistuta's long shot made Taffarel drop again, Argentina took the lead again, and Brazil was forced to a desperate situation.

In the 80th minute of the game, the Brazilian midfielder composed of Juninho, Leonardo, Savio and others sent a wonderful pass, and the Brazilian striker Tulio put the ball with his left hand in the penalty area of ​​the Argentine team. Unloaded and entered the gate of Argentina, dragged the Brazilian team back from the death line, and once again staged a Maradona-style "hand of God" on the football field, but this time the victim was an Argentine.

After 120 minutes of the match, the two teams had to decide on penalties. In the end, Brazil was lucky enough to eliminate rival Argentina [-]-[-] in the penalty shootout and advance to the semi-finals.

The most tragic thing in this America's Cup is not the Argentines. After all, they have profited twice because of the "Hand of God" (one was the game against England in the 86 World Cup in Mexico, and the other was against the previous team in the 90 World Cup. The Soviet Union), this time was eliminated due to handball, it can only be said that tit for tat, there is nothing to complain about.

The most tragic thing is that the striker Turio, who represented Brazil in the Copa America this time, was known as the second "hand of God" Brazilian striker. Maradona's "Hand of God" eliminated his opponent.

With the second "Hand of God", Tulio, like Maradona back then, became famous in the first battle.However, it is completely different from the treatment that Maradona has been praised as "God's favorite" by the Argentine media since then.The unlucky Tulio is more regarded by Brazilian fans as a "disgrace" to the football kingdom.

Although in the Copa America, Zagallo was able to withstand the pressure and continue to use Turio, but when the forward missed the most critical penalty in the final, the shame of "handball goal" was added to the "sinner's goal". "The label was firmly slapped on Turio.

As a result, the Brazilian national team announced its expulsion. In the Botafogo club, Tulio, who was under tremendous psychological pressure, gradually lost his main position.

After all, in Brazil, known as the kingdom of football, there are countless football clubs and football stadiums are blooming everywhere.Among them, Rio de Janeiro, the largest seaport city, has [-] football stadiums with more than [-] people, and four teams in the Brazilian League - Flamengo, Botafogo, Vasco da Gama, Flómi nense.

And Brazil has always been famous for its excellent offensive players. Even without Tulio, Brazil still has excellent forwards such as Romario, Bebeto, Rivaldo, etc., and Turio is not bad at all.

In history, Tulio, who shined in the America's Cup, disappeared in Brazilian football and has been sinking ever since...

But it is different now. In this era when the Bosman Act came out ahead of schedule, Tulio, who has performed extremely well in both the Copa America and the Brazilian League, has been criticized in Brazil, but there are still many European clubs sending him Invited to join.

But Zhuang Mingge doesn't have much interest in him now. If he fails to introduce Ronaldo while sending Montella away, maybe Zhuang Mingge will consider buying Tulio to Fiorentina as a substitute, but now Fiorentina's five major strikers must Playing in rotation, buying a striker again is asking for trouble...

The current Fiorentina still lacks a midfielder who can attack and defend well to rotate with Effenberg. After all, Costa's offensive and organizational talents are unparalleled, and he is still inferior to Effenberg in defense.
