ps2: By the way, I am asking for a recommendation ticket here...

After obtaining Zhuang Mingge's permission, Moratti and Cranioti hastily dispatched their most capable subordinates to Batty's residence, preparing various conditions to win over the Argentine center forward.

Between the two teams of Inter Milan and Lazio, Batty himself is still more inclined to join the Nerazzurri. You won't feel lonely even in Milan. On the other hand, Moratti, who is the chairman of Inter Milan, went to Barty's residence to lobby in person, which also made the Argentine god of war feel the Nerazzurri's attention to him.

On the other hand, for Lazio, although Dino Zoff, the general manager of the club, visited Batty in person, compared with Inter Milan, which Moratti personally lobbied, the Blue Eagles are still inferior to the Nerazzurri in terms of personnel.

With this stark contrast, Batty did not hesitate too much. After simply discussing personal treatment with Boss Mo, he declined Zoff's invitation, and then readily accepted an annual salary of 500 million. Dollar, signed his name on a four-year contract.

In this way, after Diego Simeone, Lazio once again lost in the competition with Inter Milan, watching the Argentine god of war wearing a blue and black sword shirt instead of the sky blue shirt representing Lazio. robe.

As soon as the news that Batistuta transferred to Inter Milan at a world-record-breaking price of US$4500 million, it immediately caused an eight-magnitude earthquake in European football!

Although as the European Golden Globe winner in 1995, Fiorentina's first captain, and the Argentine God of War who scored five goals in the previous World Cup in France, Batistuta is indeed eligible to transfer to Inter Milan at a very high price. , but the price of 4500 million US dollars is too expensive!

You must know that players in the position of powerful center generally rely on physical fitness to play, so the golden period of their careers ends much earlier than players in other positions.So even for a player like Batty who is not troubled by injuries, it may be difficult for him to maintain this good state for too long after the age of 30.

And now the Argentine God of War has turned 29 years old, which means that Batistuta's peak period can continue for at most two to three seasons.Therefore, many experts and celebrities have objections to this world-record-breaking transfer by Moratti. They think it is understandable that Boss Mo’s move to introduce Batty is understandable, but spending so much money is really a bit of a fool. .

However, fans and major sports media obviously don't care whether Inter Milan's acquisition is reasonable. Stimulated by the figure of 4500 million, they are now talking about this world record transfer as if they were on a stimulant.

At this moment, the most unhappy is probably the La Liga team Real Betis who has just signed Brazilian winger Denilson with a world record transfer fee of 3460 million U.S. dollars.Betis chairman Lopera originally planned to use this gimmick to make a big publicity this summer to expand Betis' influence in European football and even world football.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, Batty's transfer fee of 4500 million US dollars directly left Denilson's 3460 million US dollars far behind!At the same time, the huge shock wave it produced directly wiped out the news between Denilson and Betis.

Leaving aside the depressed Lopera for now, let's look at Florence again.

After Batty announced his move to Inter Milan, Fiorentina fans did not march in the city or take other actions to protest the club's move as they did when Roberto Baggio was traded to Juventus eight years ago. a move.

Because fans with a little brain can see that with the success of young players such as Vieri and Ronaldo in recent seasons, Batty, who is not dominant in age, is actually playing more and more playing time in Fiorentina. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Argentine god of war chose to leave at this time, saying that he transferred to Inter Milan for the main position and playing time.

Therefore, for Batty's departure, the Fiorentina fans did not lose their minds as they did in history. They overthrew the statue that the fans raised spontaneously after Batty led Fiorentina back to Serie A. Batty, who opened a new page in his career, sent his sincere wishes.

By the way, since Effenberg was not sold back to Germany by Florence after the middle finger incident as in history, the bronze statue erected by the Florence fans is not the scene of Batty standing alone, but It's a picture of a tiger and God of War standing together shoulder to shoulder.

After the announcement of this transfer that shocked the entire international football world, Fiorentina players who had spent a wonderful holiday returned to the team one after another and began to prepare for the upcoming new season.

It's just that the first thing the players have to participate in is the one training that everyone who returns from vacation is the least willing to face, and that is physical training.

Therefore, after the start of the summer training in Florence, the main task of the players in the first two weeks is to accept the recovery training specially designed by a group of sports medicine experts in the physiotherapy center.These trainings will correct some of the bad habits the players developed during their vacation one by one in the shortest possible time, adjust their competitive and physical state, and prepare for the new season in terms of physical fitness.

However, players like Vieri and Ronaldo who participated in the World Cup did not return to Fiorentina at this time.Because when other players are away on vacation to recover from the fatigue accumulated after a season, these people are still fighting around on behalf of the national team in the World Cup, and they deserve more rest time.

Therefore, Vieri and Ronaldo were specially approved by the experts in the physiotherapy center for a week-long extended vacation, so that they have more time to relieve the fatigue accumulated in the past year, and it is also a special gift for them. Welfare.

After the two-week physical recovery period ended, the Fiorentina players, under the leadership of Capello, participated in a series of warm-up matches that the club had already arranged:

On July 7, Fiorentina ushered in the first match of the summer warm-up match, and their opponent was Como from the Italian C29 League.

The reason why he chose such a weak opponent is that Capello's purpose is very clear, that is to use this warm-up match to let the players who have just returned from vacation regain their game status, and at the same time let Makelele and other newcomers The aid and other players have more chances to run in to form a tacit understanding, so as to avoid the lack of tacit understanding when the team encounters a strong enemy and the team fails to function and eventually loses the game that should not be lost.

Facing Como, who is far from his own strength, the Fiorentina players, who had suffered half a month of training, finally found an outlet this time.

Although Ronaldo, Vieri and Inzaghi's three forwards did not appear on the match list because they were still on vacation, even Fiorentina, who played on the bench, was not something a team of Monza's level could handle.

In the end, Di Natale, who finally returned to Fiorentina, opened the scoring for the Viola in the game. The two new players, Ljungberg and Deco, each scored a goal to help the team beat the opponent [-]-[-].
