After Manchester United reversed Bayern in the final and successfully won the second Champions League in team history, the 1998-99 season in the European arena finally officially came to an end.

While people were still reminiscing about the magical comeback of the Red Devils at the last moment of the game, and the two goals scored by two substitute forwards, Sheringham and Solskjaer, in stoppage time, a rumor came out of nowhere The news attracted the attention of the fans away from Manchester United: Fiorentina, who had been silent in the transfer market before, made a sudden move, and made two important transfers with lightning speed-Viola paid 4600 million The package price of US dollars brought in their main left back Kaha Karadze and ace striker Andrey Shevchenko from the Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv!

Just when the rich clubs doubted the authenticity of this news, just two days later, Fiorentina and Dynamo Kiev announced the transfer of Shevchenko and Karadze on their official websites at the same time, which shocked countless people Man's jaw—damn it, the news turned out to be true!Many teams don't care much about the news of Kaladze joining Fiorentina.After all, although the Georgian has gained some fame by virtue of his outstanding performance in the Champions League in the past two seasons, due to the limited position on the field, only a few teams have expressed concern for Karadze.

And Shevchenko is different. The forward position is the most attention-getting on the court. In addition, Sheva's performance in the Champions Cup is indeed very brilliant, with his sharp dribbling breakthrough and sharp goal. His sense of smell has attracted the attention of major European clubs.

It's just that no one thought that the flames of war in the European arena had just been extinguished, and Fiorentina had already made the first move to acquire this talented striker.

Why are these Ukrainians so restless? Don’t you know that when selling a good product like Shevchenko, you need to let more teams participate in the bidding in order to get the most benefit from it?Why did they disarm and surrender so easily under the money offensive of the Florentines?Said without any backbone.

The executives of Dynamo Kiev are certainly not fools, and they also know that they should bring in more teams so that they can ask for a high price.However, when Lobanovsky, who has a huge influence in Dynamo Kiev, came forward in person, and Shevchenko himself expressed his attitude that he would not go to Florence, they naturally gave up these ideas ——After all, it is no better than before. If the player disagrees, Dynamo Kiev has absolutely no way to sell him to another team.The most important thing is that they don't think that in the current European football, who can pay a sky-high transfer fee of 3000 million US dollars for a young player who has only been in the Champions League for the past two years like Fiorentina.

In this way, with Vieri, Inzaghi, and Ronaldo already three top forwards, and the introduction of Shevchenko, who is known as the Ukrainian nuclear warhead, Fiorentina's personnel reserve on the front line has regained the crown. Absolutely European confidence!

Stimulated by this news, the Serie A clubs that have basically completed the competition tasks of this season are gearing up, preparing to launch an arms race again in the coming summer, so as not to continue to play the role of accompanying the prince to study in the new season.

After all, there is no team that is interested in competing for the championship and is willing to see its own head weighed down at the end of the season. Therefore, Fiorentina's dominance in Italy over the years has made many teams feel a sigh of relief. Continuing to accumulate strength in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to come, so as to overthrow Viola's hegemony in Serie A in one fell swoop.

While the managers of many Serie A clubs were looking for a plan to strengthen the team under the stimulation of Fiorentina, Galliani, who represented AC Milan in Kiev and carried out the transfer of Sheva, can be said to be the most disappointed person at this moment .

After learning from the news that Shevchenko has decided to transfer from Dynamo Kiev to Fiorentina at a sky-high price of 3000 million US dollars, he also came for the Ukrainian nuclear warhead and is waiting for Kiev leisurely in a high-end suite Galliani, who sent a representative from Dynamo to bargain with him, was dumbfounded. He didn't even notice that the goblet of red wine in his hand fell to the floor.

"Damn, what the hell is going on? How did Shevchenko agree to join Fiorentina, is he crazy? Not knowing the presence of Vieri, Inzaghi and Ronaldo will greatly reduce his playing time Is it?" After a while, Galliani gradually recovered from his shock, and asked the assistants who came with him and were in charge of intelligence collection and other work with a gloomy face, "Who among you can Explain to me why, in less than a week, someone from Fiorentina came to Kiev to arrange the transfer of Shevchenko, and it was done quietly under our noses?"

At this time, one of Baldy's senior assistants stepped forward tremblingly, and told Galliani the general history of the whole incident and some inside information he had spent a lot of money on.

"So, it's that old guy Lobanovsky who made a hindrance, which caused Shevchenko to pay more attention to Fiorentina instead of our AC Milan?" After hearing the assistant's explanation, Galliani looked gloomy. Said, "Also, what did you just say, did I hear you right? That kid Shevchenko would actually say that, he would rather go to Florence to compete with Vieri and Ronaldo for the starting position than to come to San Siro as the absolute main force." ?”

As he spoke, Galliani's tone couldn't help becoming excited: "Are you kidding! We are the great AC Milan! We have created 58 unbeaten top league games, three consecutive Serie A titles, and three consecutive Champions Cups. AC Milan, who reached the final in [-]! How could Shevchenko make such an unwise choice!"

"But, but, Mr. Galliani." The unlucky assistant who was sprayed on the face by the bald spitting star still did not forget his job at this moment, and kindly reminded, "The last time we AC Milan It was five years ago to win the championship trophy, and in recent years there has been a lack of convincing results on all fronts. Especially the expulsion from the g14 league last summer had a great negative impact on the club's reputation. So, I think that's probably how Lobanovsky convinced Shevchenko not to think about joining us."

"Oh, it's done, it's too late to say these things now." The anger has almost subsided, and Galliani, who knows that the matter is irreversible, sighed, and is about to call the big boss Berlusconi to plead guilty, "You all first Go out, wait for me to ask the boss for instructions, and see if the boss has any new instructions."
