Chapter 152 A Trip to Portugal (1)

Chapter 38 of "Additional Updates and Compensation Plan"

The school has disconnected the Internet and cannot send it, so it is too late, please understand...

Because I couldn't check the information, I wrote it very slowly. Now I'm going to code the third chapter. If you can't wait, you can read it tomorrow...

"Tony, you've been in the limelight recently." Just as Zhuang Mingge was thinking about the team's summer recruitment, Karin's voice drifted into his ears, "Gabriel's heartfelt speech will soon make you the most famous figure in Florence."

"I said Karin, don't make fun of me here, okay? People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Wood is showing off by the wind in the forest. The current situation is, no matter where I go, fans from Florence come out to ask me for autographs." Zhuang Mingge said with a frown.

Since Bati publicly expressed his gratitude to Mr. Zhuang Mingge, who had always been behind the scenes, was quickly brought to the front desk by a group of unscrupulous Italian media and praised his two years of work in charge of Florence.

The media's hype has made Zhuang Mingge's popularity soar in Italy. Now he is more or less a celebrity. If he wants to go shopping with Karin, he will not be as comfortable as before.

Seeing Zhuang Mingge's distressed look, Karin also put away her teasing thoughts and talked about the serious matter: "Hey, Tony, do you have any plans for the signing candidate this summer?"

"I just thought about it. Franceni and Parry are leaving. Djokav also needs a reliable substitute. Korini cannot replace Djokav in the team, so the team now needs a right back and an offensive midfielder."

"Then do you have any players you like?" The legend of Zhuang Mingge's "Golden Eye" has been quietly circulating within the Fiorentine club. After all, since the day this boss took over Fiorentine two years ago, he has never had a "parallel" signing. Whether it is veterans such as Pari, Franceni, or unknown young players such as Colini, Vieri, Inzaghi, the performance of this season's game has made the transfer fees spent on them by the club not in vain.

"Janluca Zanbrotta, born on February 19, 1977, is now playing for the Italian second division. I think he should be able to serve as the main substitute in the right back position."

Karin retrieved Zanbrotta's information from the office computer, looked carefully, and said, "Tony, are you sure you are not dazzled? The computer shows that Zanbrotta is a right-hand forward!"

"Haha, I want Coach Ranieri to transform Zambrota into a player of the same type as Dilivio."

"You mean, this Zanbrotta has the ability to become a versatile player like Juventus' Dilivio?" Karin asked with her eyes lit up, "If it's really like you said, that would be great!"

Because if there is a versatile player in the team, it can save a lot of trouble. After all, a team can only bring seven substitutes. With such a versatile player on the court, the coaches can have more choices in tactical changes.

"However, Zambrota has only played once in Como this season, and he is probably much worse than Parri's current combat power."

"This is also impossible. Who has limited the number of foreign players to play now? There are only three foreign players on the court. Barty, Effenberg and Djokav are almost unshakable, so the right-back position can only be local players." Zhuang Mingge was also very depressed about this. Although there are countless future stars in his mind, it is basically impossible to do anything under such restrictions.

European Court of Justice, when will you send the verdict?

"So, what you mean is another substitute midfielder, are you going to look for it abroad?" Karin did not feel Zhuang Mingge's "depression", but instead discovered another hidden "meaning" from his words.

(Note: Serie A stipulates that each team is allowed to have 5 foreign players, but only three players can play at the same time)

"Yes, it's time to introduce this player. I've been watching him for a long time." Zhuang Mingge looked out the window and said, "Karin, go and make some preparations. We'll go to Lisbon tomorrow."

"Okay, Tony."

...

The next day, Zhuang Mingge took Karin and took a private plane (sent from Berezovsky, Russia) to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.

Portugal is located at the southwestern end of Europe, with a land area of ​​92,000 square kilometers and a population of only 10 million. It is a genuine small country.

According to China's scale, there are only two places in Portugal that can barely be called cities. One is the capital Lisbon, with a population of 800,000; the other is Porto, a major northern town with a population of 600,000.

Located in the southwest of Portugal and bordering the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon was one of the most prosperous ports in the world 500 years ago. It is now a bustling southern European city. More than half of the population lives in satellite cities around the city of Lisbon, which makes the old Lisbon, which only accommodates 400,000 people, look quite quiet.

"Chairman Corleon, I am Azerado, the chairman of Benfica Club. Welcome to the beautiful Lisbon." Walking into the gate of Benfica headquarters, a middle-aged fat man walked up to greet Zhuang Mingge.

Could this fat man be the Azerado who was later accused of embezzling club assets and ended up in jail? Zhuang Mingge smiled and shook hands with the other party, while complaining in his heart.

If the corruption criminal is really this fat man, then this trip to Benfica should not be disappointing.

With enough money to support it, it should be no problem to win a greedy chairman...

Under the guidance of Azerado, Zhuang Mingge and others walked into the pre-decorated reception room.

"Chairman Corleon, I have heard about your purpose on the phone." Azerado sat on the sofa, holding a cup of steaming coffee, and said, "Our club is acceptable in principle for Rui's transfer, and Rui himself is willing to develop on a larger platform... The question now is how much transfer fee you are preparing to pay for the core of our team's midfield."

Rui Costa, a representative figure of the Golden Generation of Portugal and a midfielder, is Zhuang Mingge's goal for this trip.

Costa in history should have joined Fiorentina last season, but because Zhuang Mingge changed Effenberg's fate, Fiorentina, as a newly promoted player, did not have enough capital to convince Costa himself to accept the rotation player positioning, which led to the Portuguese midfielder not being able to join the Purple Lily in the summer of 1994 as in history. However, a miracle happened, and other teams seemed to have ignored the Portuguese midfielder who was as famous as Figo, causing Costa to stay in Benficado for another year.

Now, Fiorentina, who is the double champion of Serie A and European Cup Winners, has proved that the team has the capital to win honors. Costa, who is eager to show off his talents on a larger stage, should not mind being a rotation main force under the temptation of the championship...
