Although from the perspective of his own interests, Berezovsky's investment in the acquisition of a British football club is more helpful for him to enhance his influence in the Western European world. It is much more cost-effective to go to Sampdoria in the second-level league this season.

But it is a pity that although the 22 Premier League clubs had nowhere to go and established the Premier League, which is now developing rapidly in a mess, this does not mean that the British, once a citizen of the empire on which the sun never sets People will let go of the arrogance in their bones, willing to let these people enter the British football world, which was once the number one in the world.

For example, Murdoch's News Corporation initiated the acquisition of Manchester United last year, but this acquisition has aroused the resistance of the entire British government and opposition, and finally encountered Waterloo under the intervention of the British fans, the FA and the British government. .Even News Corporation, which is famous all over the world and saved English football with a broadcast contract worth hundreds of millions of pounds at the most difficult moment, ended up like this. Berezovsky didn’t think that he would get an ideal result by acting .

Therefore, compared to blindly conservative, stubborn and xenophobic British football, Italian football, which has Zhuang Mingge, an insider, has clearly become the best choice in Berezovsky's eyes.

After all, compared to the other three major leagues in Europe's five major leagues, Serie A does not allow clubs to be privately owned like Bundesliga, nor is it in a situation where influence and star attraction are declining sharply like Ligue [-], and it is not like La Liga. , No matter what other teams achieve, they can only obediently watch the faces of Real Madrid and Barcelona!

After making the above considerations, Berezovsky made a final decision, agreed to Groz Jr. who came to lobby, and agreed to invest in the acquisition of Sampdoria from Mantovani Jr. A club with a glorious past.

Although during the conversation, Berezovsky expressed his hope to directly acquire a Serie A club, Groz Jr., who had exchanged views with Zhuang Mingge before going to Russia, was already prepared: "Berezovsky Mr. Kei, I don't think this is a wise idea. Although with the help of our Fiorentina, you will encounter much less resistance when buying Sampdoria, but if you buy a Serie A club directly, there will undoubtedly be problems. The vigilance and uneasiness of the entire Italian football world can easily lead to the acquisition being abandoned halfway." "Well, Ms. Groz, what you said is indeed very reasonable," Berezovsky thought, and felt that what the other party said was true. .If it is the acquisition of Sampdoria, let alone what other people have to say, he can still carry out the acquisition under the banner of saving the old team. At that time, the Italian Football Association and Sampdoria fans will definitely raise their hands and support the Russian tycoon. The green light is given to the owner, because they are the last people who want Sampdoria to go to hell.

In this way, under the persuasion of Groz Jr., Berezovsky finally gave up his plan to acquire the Serie A team, and instead decided to fully implement Sampdoria's acquisition plan!

Although Sampdoria has confirmed their relegation and the hearts of the team are floating, this is nothing to Berezovsky, who has a lot of money.With the example of Florence first, the Russian oligarch has a lot of confidence in the plan to use the checkbook to revitalize the Aquamarine.

On the other side, Karin, who was in charge of dealing with Crown Prince Al Thani, did not receive the expected results.The prince of Qatar is currently devoting most of his energy to developing the Qatari League and enhancing the influence of Qatari football in Asia, especially the upcoming AFC presidential election will involve a lot of his energy And financial resources, which caused Al Thani to take this opportunity to continue to expand Qatar's sphere of influence in Europe for the time being.Therefore, although Al Thani intends to intervene in the acquisition of Sampdoria, he also knows that he is powerless now.

However, compared to Berezovsky, who prefers to hide behind the scenes and do some intrigues, Crown Prince Al Thani is obviously much more straightforward in dealing with people.After declining the invitation to join Sampdoria, the Qatari prince straightforwardly explained the reason to Karin, and at the same time vowed that if there is such a thing that needs his help in the future, he and the Qatari consortium he belongs to Will definitely help.

And so Karin returned to Florence with a copy of Al Thani's failed promises and invitations to the future.

While Zhuang Mingge and others were secretly looking for a buyer for Sampdoria, the first-leg final of the Coppa Italia between Fiorentina and Parma had also quietly arrived.

According to the schedule established by the Italian Football Association, the first round of the two teams' confrontation will be held at Parma's home stadium, the Tardini Stadium.

For Capello and Fiorentina players, a Coppa Italia trophy is nothing, and most of them have already reached the point of softness when they win the championship.But with the Champions League out and the league title locked in advance, Fiorentina felt that it would be a good choice to work harder to get the Coppa Italia that was already in front of them.

Moreover, from the point of view of Fiorentina, this Coppa Italia trophy can also wash away the team's depressed mood by the way, wash away the bad luck caused by the team being eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern, and help improve the players' morale. Spirit.

Therefore, in the case of no worries in the league, Capello, who is bound to win the championship, sent the strongest lineup in this game, Toldo, Carlos, Nesta, Redondo, Ronaldo and other main players The players are all on the stage, ready to do their best to deal with their opponents in this first round of the game, turning this Coppa Italia final into a one-man show for Florence.

Unlike Fiorentina, Parma, who has basically not won any heavyweight championships in recent years, can be said to be extremely eager for honor at this time, so seeing the Coppa Italia trophy that is close at hand, even if the opponent has completed five consecutive league titles Albert, in Fiorentina, where the reputation of Italian football is in full swing, Malesani and his players will not choose to give up the game, but are more active in pre-match preparations, preparing to give Fiorentina the next round in the first round. Big "surprise".

Or it can be said that since Asprilla's lore broke Milan's 1993-game undefeated golden body in 58, Parma has such a temperament in his bones, a kind of fearlessness of powerful enemies, even if he is at the hegemony level The temperament of the team dared to pull him off the horse!
