The Era of Emerald

To be honest, Fiorentina's ability to rank first in Serie A in the past third of the league is indeed beyond the expectations of many people.At the beginning of the season, most experts believed that Fiorentina's strength was the same as that of Rome, and it was worse than teams such as Parma and Juventus.If you are lucky, Fiorentina may be able to get a place in the European competition next season at the end of the season.

But after eleven league matches, when Fiorentina beat Juventus, Parma and other strong teams to top the standings, the defending champion AC Milan really surprised many "bricks and beasts".

A team that was still struggling in the second division a year ago can make such a good start in the first year of returning to Serie A, which cannot but attract the attention of many people.

There are also many entanglements between Florence and Juventus: In the summer of 1990, Juventus paid a sky-high transfer fee of 1000 million U.S. dollars to forcibly poach Robert Baggio, the core of the team at the time, from Florence, which aroused controversy in the city of Florence. and this summer, Juventus repeated their old trick, using the strong influence of the Agnelli family in Italy to steal half of the defense from Zhuang Minge.These "new and old grudges" have made Fiorentina fans hope that the team can give the "old lady" a hard blow at the opponent's home court.

Since the three teams of Fiorentina, Parma, and Juventus are only one point apart, the result of this game between Juventus and Fiorentina is also related to which team will dominate next.

Therefore, for the highlight of the league between Juventus and Fiorentina, the major media on the Apennine Peninsula have spared no effort to report in an all-round way. Of course, the media representing different interest groups have different voices. .

As the mouthpiece of Juventus, "Torino Sport" spared no effort to report that Juventus's current team is in good condition and has a neat lineup. At the same time, it also did not forget to take a look at the loss at home to Sampdoria in the last game. Fiorentina, they unceremoniously pointed out: Fiorentina, which had a relegation experience, is completely a second-rate team in Serie A. It is now at the top of the league because other teams in Serie A don’t know much about this rebuilt Fiorentina. , This "pseudo-strong team" will soon be beaten back to its original shape.

The Alpi Stadium was built to host the 1990 World Cup. It is now the common home of Juventus and Turin and can accommodate nearly 70000 spectators.

Somewhat strangely, the average attendance of the relatively powerful Juventus in this stadium cannot keep up with the Torino team, which often fights for relegation.Zhuang Mingge, who used to know only one thing but didn't know the other, finally made the most intuitive discovery after several previous trips to Turin: in the minds of the citizens of Turin, the only team that can be called a hometown team is the The "Red Bull" Turin team is one; while Juventus represents the entire Italian football.

Juventus's home court, under normal circumstances, has about 50000 fans to watch the game, but today is obviously an exception. Under the vigorous publicity of the media, today's Alpi Stadium is obviously in a full state. There are more than 6 Juventus fans and nearly [-] Fiorentina fans who came from all directions, filling every inch of the stands of the Alpi Stadium.

"Chairman Corleone, long time no see!" Moji, who learned from his subordinates that Zhuang Mingge had arrived at the Alpi Stadium, waited early in the reserved VIP box, "It's a pleasure to watch this crucial match with you!"

"Hehe, Manager Moji, I think, you invited me to Turin this time not just to watch such a game?" Zhuang Mingge decided to directly bring up the topic, after all, he thought he didn't have the ability to play tricks He beat this old fox Mo in terms of skill, "If you have any important matters to discuss with me, please feel free to speak up now, otherwise we may not be able to spare the extra energy to discuss serious matters when the game starts. "

Mo Ji obviously did not expect that Zhuang Mingge would ask him so straightforwardly, and was taken aback for a while, but the old fox quickly stabilized his rhythm, and said calmly: "Chairman Corleone, then I will To be blunt, what kind of player do you think our team's Roberto Baggio is?"

"I think, as Franco Baresi said in an interview before, Baggio is the only player in Italy who 'has the ability to decide the direction of the game'."

Zhuang Minge knew that the main event was coming, but he must not be the first to mention Baggio's transfer at this time to reveal his attitude towards this transfer, otherwise Moji would seize the initiative in the negotiation and demand a high sum from Florence transfer offer.

But Juventus is different. Lippi already has Piero who can replace Baggio. Baggio, who is in his prime, cannot agree to be Del Piero's substitute. There is a player with a high salary on the bench.

Juventus did not dare to push Baggio too much. After all, in 94, Baggio's personal reputation was at the peak of his career.If Juventus dare to be tough, for example, baggio will be "refrigerated" or sold abroad forcibly.Then it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many fans, and Juventus cannot bear the anger of the fans.

"Well, President Corleone, I mean, suppose we sell Baggio at the end of the season, would you choose to take over?"

"Manager Moji, what do you mean, Juventus is going to sell Baggio next summer?" Zhuang Mingge pretended to be surprised and said with a look of disbelief, "Did I hear you right? Baggio has been an expensive club for the past few years." The core of the attack!"

Cut, if Baggio himself hadn’t asked to stay in Italy to play football, I wouldn’t have dared to be outraged, otherwise how could I have found you to take over such a superstar, Moggi slandered in his heart, but he said another thing The remarks.

"We are indeed planning to sell Baggio. After all, the current head coach of our team doesn't think that Baggio is an indispensable player in his tactical system...Chairman Corleone, since you have just paid for Baggio Given such a high evaluation, he must be willing to pay a transfer fee that fits his status?"

"Damn it!" Zhuang Mingge cursed inwardly. He didn't expect that he would still be tricked by Mo Laohu. It seems that he needs to practice more in negotiation in the future. "Haha, although I personally like Baggio very much, but Florence's current There is no shortage of manpower in the midfield, even if Baggio comes, we have no place to put him!"

"For the sake of the friendship between Fiorentina and Juventus, we are willing to accept players that your club cannot accommodate." When he said this, Mo Laohu looked sincere.

Believe in you is 9!Zhuang Minge cursed in his heart. He didn't expect Moji to be so thick-skinned. He not only wanted to clear out the unused Baggio from Juventus, but also wanted to take advantage of Florence.

The two sitting in the box just exchanged words with each other without realizing that the battle for the top spot between Fiorentina and Juventus has begun!
