Chapter 322
"I support Chairman Corleone's protests. It is obvious that the national team has become Sachie's one-man show, and he can't listen to other people's advice at all." The current situation of an Inter Milan player not being shortlisted for the European Cup roster made Boss Mo Da very dissatisfied, so he joined the Fiorentina camp very neatly the day after Zhuang Mingge's protests. "Although Inter Milan performed poorly in the league this season, it is undeniable that our team's defense is still very good. The number of goals conceded in the league this season is the most powerful proof."
"Janluka (Paluka) is not as good as Luka Butch? Giuseppe (Bergomi) is not as good as Musi? This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. I think Mr. Alanggo Saki really needs to change his glasses. Maybe he should also change his rusty brain, otherwise I think he will only select players from a few specific teams in the future."
"I don't want to express too much about this. Antonio Corleone's protest against my injustice is just because I didn't give Fiorentina too many international players. You ask me why I didn't recruit more Fiorentina players? It's very simple, because I think their ability is not comparable to those internationals on the roster. It's that simple." After learning that Fiorentina and Inter Milan protested against their fairness in selecting international players, Saki made the above counterattack in an interview.
However, the controversy over the national team roster will not subside with Sakki's explanation. Instead, his words have attracted many jokes. Players who won the triple-winning champion are not considered good players, so what does it mean?
Moreover, everyone can see the abilities of Robert Baggio, Ferrara, Dibiagio and others and their performance throughout the season very clearly. Sakchina's pale explanation seems more like a rude argument in the fans.
Affected by this, Italy, which was originally regarded as one of the favorites to win the European Cup by betting companies, plummeted, and fell from one or two to one or eight, and was surpassed by Spain, England and other teams behind them.
The controversy over the European Cup roster continues, but at this time Zhuang Mingge has turned his attention elsewhere. After all, the list of players participating in the national teams of various countries has been reported to UEFA. Unless in a very special situation, no one can change the status quo.
What made Zhuang Mingge feel relieved was that although his Fiorentina was humiliated by the stubborn Saki on the issue of the European Cup roster, the old coach Martini, who was about to lead the Italian Olympic team to the Atlanta Olympics, extended a hand of friendship to Florence. The respected old coach called Zhuang Mingge directly and poached several Fiorentine players including Vieri, Inzagi, and Zambrota from him. Among them, there was even Pirlo, who had just turned 17...
Now, what Zhuang Mingge needs to prioritize the summer signing work in Florence.
...
"Aldo, do you really want to leave the team?" After a while of silence, Zhuang Mingge looked up at someone sitting restrainedly on the sofa.
"Boss, I have had a very happy life in Fiorentina and the atmosphere on the team is also very good, but I am only 29 years old now, and this age is not old for a central defender." Filicano hesitated for a moment and answered firmly, "But the team now has Chiro (Ferrara) and Alessandro (Nesta) in the central defender position, and I can only play as a substitute. This is not a matter of money. Now I need more opportunities to play."
"...Well, Aldo, you can now inform your agent to find your next home for you. As long as it does not harm the interests of the club, I promise not to create any obstacles to your transfer."
"Thank you, boss." After expressing a brief thank you to Zhuang Mingge, Filicano stood up and left the office.
After seeing off Filicano, Zhuang Mingge welcomed another guest - Robert Baggio.
"Hey, Robert, what a rare guest. What wind blows you to me today?" Zhuang Mingge greeted Baggio enthusiastically, while asking Karin to pour him a cup of coffee and asked him to ask.
"Well, Mr. Chairman, I want to leave Florence." Robert Baggio hesitated for a long time and finally spoke, and his first sentence completely froze the expression on Zhuang Mingge's face.
"...Why?" Zhuang Mingge asked, feeling his mouth dry. After all, he was a Baggio fan in his previous life, so he took action to bring him back to Fiorentina when Juventus rejected Baggio. For this reason, he took out a huge transfer fee and also took over two main substitutes of the team.
However, what Zhuang Mingge never expected was that Baggio had the idea of transferring and leaving after only one year in Florence.
"Now the level of Fiorentina's attacking line can be regarded as the No. 1 in Europe, and there is almost no team that can be compared with us. Gabriel, Yuri, Ronnie, Philip, and Christian have almost no stable starting time, Mr. Chairman,"
Although we know that after the team won the triple-winning champion, there will definitely be some players who want to get more starting opportunities to leave the team, Zhuang Mingge did not expect that Baggio would be one of them. However, Zhuang Mingge then realized that as Italy's most famous star, Baggio, who is still at the peak of his career, cannot accept the status of a rotation player. He did not intend to transfer before because he had honors to win in Fiorentina. Now that the championship has been almost done, he naturally has to consider his position in the team.
Obviously, due to the existence of Batistuta and Effenberg, Florence now cannot provide Baggio with a core position, so it is natural for Baggio to leave.
Since you can't keep it, it's better to get together and part with you. Zhuang Mingge thought so.
"Okay, Robert, I agree to your transfer application. Now you can inform your agent to contact the team that is willing to pay you a bottom line of our transfer fee... Of course, I sincerely hope that you won't choose Juventus." Zhuang Mingge, who figured out the joints, made a decision readily. After all, the melon is not sweet. After sending Baggio away, he can also introduce other good seedlings. There is no need to have a quarrel with the other party because of these things.
Baggio nodded silently. This was the best guarantee. With his character, it was impossible to do something like breaking his promise.
"Thank you, boss." Before leaving, Baggio expressed his gratitude to Zhuang Mingge. As a professional player, he certainly knew that it was very difficult to leave when he had a three-year contract with Fiorentina. Zhuang Mingge was willing to let him go so easily, and the sacrifice he made was imagined.
