Chapter 144 Before the decisive battle

Thanks to Zhen San Wushuang for the reward

In a blink of an eye, it was already mid-May, and major European leagues were coming to an end.

In the Serie A, Fiorentina has been confirmed to win the championship three rounds ahead of schedule; and in the Premier League, which has ended all the games, Blackburn, which has the offensive combination of Ginola, Hiller and Sutton, miraculously won the Premier League championship with a draw from rival Manchester United when he lost to Liverpool in the last round; although La Liga is not over yet, the leader Real Madrid has a point advantage of more than 10 points ahead of Barcelona, ​​and it is only a matter of time before he regained the league championship; as for the Bundesliga, Bayern has never encountered a team that is regarded as an opponent from the beginning to the end of this season.

After the champions of major leagues were released, fans began to focus on the three major European Cups, and the first thing to be hit was the earliest Winners Cup final.

On May 14, on the day of Fiorentina's away challenge to Foggia, Zhuang Mingge and Karin, who took the lead, came to Paris, the capital of France, for the second time, known as the Flower Capital.

The last time I came to Paris was more than a year ago. In order to introduce Ginola from Paris Saint-Germain, Zhuang Mingge had to come to Paris in person to take a walk. In the end, he was intercepted by the wealthy Blackburn.

In the atmosphere at that time, Zhuang Mingge naturally had no mood or time to accompany Karin to visit Paris.

This time it was completely different. Zhuang Mingge came to Paris this time just to watch his team's Cup finals in the Winners' Cup on May 18. Now there are several days left before the final day, so naturally there is plenty of time to play in Paris with his sweetheart.

So, on the first day of coming to Paris, Zhuang Mingge and Karin visited the symbol of Paris and even the entire France - the Eiffel Tower, and the Arc de Triomphe, a symbol of social prosperity and national prosperity during the Napoleon period.

At night, the two wandered on the Champs-Elysees Avenue, the "most beautiful street in the world", and the magnificent exhibition rooms and countless theaters on both sides of the street made them linger. The Arc de Triomphe and Plaza de Concorde at the end of the avenue looked even more dazzling under the colorful neon lights.

The next morning, Zhuang Mingge took Karin to the Palace of Versailles 20 kilometers west of Paris, where he visited its palace castle, garden, Trianon Palace and other famous landscapes, as well as exquisite art, statues and royal supplies displayed in it.

During the visit, Zhuang Mingge and Karin were lucky enough to catch up with the fountain performance held in the garden of Versailles Palace. The spectacular and gorgeous performance made the two intoxicated.

Then, Zhuang Mingge and his two went to Notre Dame Cathedral, which is the oldest and most magnificent Catholic church in Paris. It became famous for a novel of the same name by Hugo.

In the afternoon, the two came to the world-famous art palace, the Louvre. The collection of artworks is quite rich, among which "Mona Lisa" is the most famous. This time, Zhuang Mingge finally got a glimpse of her "scent".

Just as Zhuang Mingge and his two were visiting the Louvre, the entire team of Florence arrived at the destination by special plane in Paris.

When the reporters from various media who had been waiting at the airport saw that a team of participating in the competition finally came out of the exit, they rushed towards Batistuta, which had just walked out of the airport exit. Djokaf and other big-name stars rushed over, carrying their various interview equipment on their shoulders.

As for Effenberg, journalists who know the character of the German midfielder have kept their distance from this "dangerous person". God knows whether this strange-tempered star will suddenly punch them...

Although there is little chance of entering the roster of this final, at Zhuang Mingge's request, all members of the Fiorentine first team, as long as they are not injured, come to Paris to experience the atmosphere of the finals.

Among the players of the Fiorentine youth team, several hope stars who were highly anticipated by Zhuang Mingge also came to Paris with the team. Among them, there was Pirlo, a young man who had been a talented player in Florence for more than half a year.

Vieri, who had the first chance to experience this top-level event atmosphere, was talking and laughing with Pirlo when he walked out of the airport. When he saw a large group of reporters approaching here at high speed, he pulled Pirlo behind him, standing in front, maintaining order with his loud voice, and even overshadowed many reporters' high-volume questions: "Hey! You all pay attention to me! Don't squeeze!"

However, Vieri's words were obviously automatically filtered by many reporters carrying long spears and short cannons, so the tragic Vieri had to use his tall body to resist the impact of some people.

"Hello, Mr. Ranieri, do you have the confidence to defeat Zaragoza in the acquired winner final?" A strong young journalist fully utilized his advantages and squeezed out his peers, and was the first to hand the microphone to Fiorentina coach Ranieri.

Even a "suffering bag" like Ranieri was a little angry at the young reporter's question: This is nonsense, if you don't have the confidence to defeat your opponent, what kind of game is there? Let's go home and hold your child!

“We have more confidence than bookmakers!”

Ranieri's answer made the reporter who had not been in the industry a little confused. When he came to his senses, he found that the Fiorentine players had gone far away, and there were many peers around him who cast regret and contempt.

Since Zhuang Mingge sent someone to contact Paris Saint-Germain in advance, with their permission, Florence players can temporarily use the training grounds of the Saint-Germain Club.

As for the accommodation location, it was a high-end hotel not far from the training base. Zhuang Mingge directly booked the two floors of the hotel with a big stroke, creating the best resting environment for the players.

"How is the team's current situation?" Zhuang Mingge asked after settling down the players.

"The first team players are not injured at present, and Philip (Inzaghi) has returned from injury. Dr. Thomas (Carter) said that his physical condition can participate in the game." Ranieri glanced at his boss carefully and said cautiously.

"That's good." Zhuang Mingge happily patted Ranieri on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you this season, Fiorentina can win the league championship. I'll thank you privately here."

"Haha, boss, this is what I should do."

"As for the winning prize, I think I'd better send it to you after the final." Zhuang Mingge thought for a while and added, "By the way, tell the first team players that if they can win the game the day after tomorrow, the club will give them a winning prize of $5 million... As for the members of the coaching team, everyone has the same prize."

"No problem! Boss! I will notify them!" Ranieri was so excited this time, he made a big move! After sending away Giannikeda and Jonti, even if Tachinadi was promoted, there were only 20 players!

The same bonus for coaches and players... Doesn’t this mean that each person can get $250,000!
