The Era of Emerald

"Coach Fabio, I sincerely invite you to coach Fiorentina. I believe that under your leadership, Fiorentina will achieve greater glory!"

"Mr. Corleone, please forgive me for not agreeing. In any case, the Milan club has been kind to me. I can't get over it psychologically if I coach another Serie A team so soon." The team was very moved, but after the middle-aged man hesitated for a while, he still rejected Zhuang Mingge's invitation.

"Could it be that, Mr. Capello, don't you want to prove yourself in front of Berlusconi?" After hearing Capello's refusal to coach, Zhuang Mingge did not give up, but continued to lobby the other party, trying to change the other party. idea.

That's right, the person Zhuang Minge is persuading is Fabio Capello, one of the two head coaches who created the Milan dynasty.

In Zhuang Minge's view, Ranieri's successor must be proficient in tactical changes, and at the same time must have a certain leadership skill, able to restrain the group of big-name players in the Fiorentina first team, especially Effenberg and Diby "Dangerous elements" like Agios.Otherwise, the internal friction alone is likely to make Florence lose all four next season.

Among Zhuang Mingge's favorite coaches, Hitzfeld is in the honeymoon period with Dortmund at this time, so naturally he will not consider the possibility of switching to Fiorentina; It is impossible to switch to Fiorentina without playing an official game. Doing so violates his professional ethics as a head coach.

Rehhagel's performance in Bayern proved that he can't lead a giant team with too many stars. If Van Gaal's bad temper and inflexible thinking are put in Florence, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many players. As for Wenger?Or let him learn to pay attention to defense...

Therefore, Fabio Capello, who has terminated his work contract with AC Milan and is currently at home, has become the best choice for Fiorentina.

When Capello heard what Zhuang Mingge said, a glimmer of light secretly flashed in his eyes.

Although Capello's coaching career started at AC Milan, it is precisely because of his outstanding record in Milan that he has entered the list of Italian coaches, so Capello, but if he has nothing to do with AC Milan Complaints are also unlikely.Leaving aside, let’s just talk about the resignation incident two months ago. The obvious reason was that Capello resigned because of his poor record in leading the team, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the whole incident was triggered by Berlusconi. Zhang uttered the big mouth that "any coach in AC Milan can lead the team to win the championship".

It is obviously impossible to say that Capello has no intention of retaliating against the opponent at all.As for whether Capello would not want to coach an Italian team other than AC Milan?Zhuang Mingge said that in his previous life, the gold medal coach had at least coached Roma and Juventus, so this situation is obviously unlikely to happen.

After a long period of ideological struggle, in the end, the proud Capello was still attracted by the huge temptation of "slapping the scallop Lusconi face to face", and agreed to Zhuang Mingge's invitation to serve as the head coach of the Fiorentina club .

When Capello signed his name on a four-year work contract with an annual salary of 200 million US dollars, the two sides immediately entered the next topic, which was Fiorentina's summer signings.

"Because Fiorentina has just won the treble this season, although players such as Roberto Baggio have left the team, but in general the team of the treble is still there, so I think the team does not need to sign up in the summer transfer market. , just focus on strengthening some key positions.” As a professional football coach, it is obvious that Capello pays close attention to the actions of various clubs, especially Fiorentina, who invited him to coach. It took a whole night to study the current situation of this club, and it happened to pour out all the prepared things at this time.

"Then Fabio, do you have any specific views on the team's signings?" Although the team's signings have been drafted, the tradition of Italian clubs has always been that the head coach must not ask about the team's specific transfers. Yes, but Zhuang Minge still asked Capello very cautiously. After all, this head coach is not like Ranieri who can be flattened and rounded by himself. If he doesn't like a player, he will really make a move. The act of letting players sit in the stands for a season.

"The first is the central defender position. The central defender combination of Ferrara and Nesta is the top in the world. There is no doubt about it. Although Germany can still maintain a good competitive state, he is 37 years old and obviously cannot cope with too intensive competitions; Materazzi is a good central defender seedling, but with his current strength, he can only be used as a player in Florence. The last substitute, I think it is better to find a way to rent him out and let him participate in some games to accumulate experience is the best training method; therefore, I think the club needs to find a reliable player in the central defender position as the first substitute .”

Capello didn't take the opportunity to recommend his favorite players to Zhuang Mingge. After all, Zhuang Mingge has never made a parallel import every time he made a move in the transfer market these years, and he has also unearthed many new stars with extraordinary potential. It has been affirmed by many people in the industry, so Capello is quite assured that the boss will definitely not bring him a lot of unnecessary players like the smart Berlusconi.

"Well, I think so too." Zhuang Mingge said in agreement, and at the same time handed Capello a piece of information, "Fabio, what do you think of this player? Does it meet your requirements?"

Capello took the file and looked at it carefully: "Jap Stam, central defender, born on July 1972, 7, currently playing for Eindhoven club in the Eredivisie, 17 meters tall, the advantage is physical fitness Strong, tough tackles, great header, slow turnaround..."

Capello kept flipping through this information, and the more he liked the player named Stam, he believed that this Dutch central defender was enough to make up for one of the biggest weaknesses of Fiorentina's defense, that is, the lack of physical confrontation. After all, both Ferrara and Nesta are defenders who rely on defensive skills and judgment to defend. Once they encounter a strong center who relies on their bodies for food, it is really hard to say.

The appearance of Stam will effectively reinforce this point.

At the same time, Capello was also secretly surprised by Fiorentina's scouting system. According to the data in his hand, Stam was a player who transferred from William II to PSV only last year. He didn't have much fame yet, but Florence has already established a detailed file.

Seeing this information, Capello now has more confidence to lead Fiorentina well and give Berlusconi a resounding slap in the face!Let him know that the Milan Dynasty cannot be established by just any coach!
