Chapter 408: A Trip to Japan (3)

"Then I'll ask you everything! Chairman Corleon!" When Saburo Kawabuki heard Zhuang Mingge say this, he quickly nodded and bowed to the other party and tried his best to please him, because he knew that the only way to help him now is to be able to do so by GM, which almost unifies the resources of Italian stars.

It’s not that Saburo Kawabuki cannot find a way to play Japanese players in other three leagues, but compared to Zhuang Mingge who has dealt with before, Saburo Kawabuki is even more inconvenient to other leagues; and, no matter what, the Serie A is also the world’s number one league now. To learn the advanced ideas of European football, of course, you have to learn the best. Why go to some other three leagues? This is the view of Japanese footballers in this period.

"Haha, since you said so by Chairman Kawazumi, then let's discuss the specific cooperation content now..." Zhuang Mingge said to Saburo Kawazumi with a smile.

Finally, before the meeting ended, two oral agreements were reached between Zhuang Aige and Saburo Kawabuki. The first was funded by the Japanese Football Association, and Florence was responsible for providing half-year training for four players, Hidesuke Nakada, Shinji Ono, Shunsuke Nakamura and Junichi Inamori. The Japanese Football Association provided Florence with a sponsorship fee of US$3 million for each trainee, with a total value of US$12 million.

As for the source of funds, it is not the area that Florence should be responsible. Let Saburo Kawabuchi contact those who have to pay on time as long as the Japanese Football Association pays on time, then Florence will implement all the terms stipulated in the agreement.

The second agreement is that Zhuang Mingge will promote Nakada Hideho to Serie A team through GM's channels, striving to allow the midfielder to join a Serie A club after the transfer door is opened next summer. After the matter is completed, GM can receive an intermediary fee of US$5 million, while Zhuang Mingge, as a matchmaker, will receive more than half of the share.

After the meeting, Zhuang Mingge, who was already sleepy, saw Saburo Kawabuki away at the door of the room, then hugged Karin's slender waist and returned to his bedroom to sleep. During this period, he ignored Xiao Groz's resentful eyes, which made the latter so angry that he was very unladying in his room and was slapped at the pillow...

Saburo Kawabuchi, who achieved significant results, did not feel sleepy at all. He took his own group of gangsters and worked all night. He raised ten million US dollars in just two days and transferred the money to his Florence account.

At the same time, Saburo Kawabuki also found four players, including Hideho Nakada, and told them that they were about to pack their luggage and go to Florence to participate in short-term training.

After learning that they could go to the Florence club for half a year for training, they were so excited that they couldn't speak. In their eyes, the Serie A was undoubtedly the best league in the world, and Fiorentina, which won the triple-champ last season, was undoubtedly the best team in the world football today.

Especially the midfielder in Fiorentina is full of stars, Effenberg, Djokaf, Redondo, Davis... Which one is not a well-known name in the world football world? In the eyes of Hidesu Nakada and others, if they can go to Fiorentina for training, then they will have more opportunities to learn their advantages from these stars and improve their abilities.

When all these things came to an end, the first-team players in Fiorentina finally got off the plane under Capello and came to the city of Tokyo. Three days later, they will compete for the Toyota Cup, the last championship honor of the year at the National Arena in Tokyo.

The Toyota Cup, as its name suggests, is a cup hosted by Toyota, Japan. Both sides of the competition are the European Champions League champions and the South American Liberators Cup champions. Each participating team can receive a 15 million pesetta appearance fee. At the same time, the best player in each Toyota Cup can get a car provided by Toyota.

In this year's Toyota Cup, Florence will face an opponent that is one of the two big Argentina's Hedge team.

From the perspective of historical honors alone, the championship trophy in the honor room of River Plate Club is many times better than that of Fiorentina, the records of 25 Argentine League champions, two South American Liberators champions and one InterContinental Cup champion (the predecessor of the Toyota Cup) dwarf the Florence, which has just been promoted to one of the European powers.

There are many famous stars in the world football world who have played in the Riverbed team, such as Real Madrid legend "Golden Arrow" Di Stefano, the first Italian player to win the European Golden Ball Award (original from Argentina, later became Italian nationality), Kempes, the hero who won the Argentina championship in the 1978 World Cup, and the national team captain Passarella, the magic goalkeeper Goyechea and the "Son of the Wind" Canigia, who attracted attention in the 1990 Italian summer, and then the Uruguayan prince Franciscoli, who has just returned to the Riverbed from Europe, it can be said that in terms of historical heritage, Fiorentina is completely inferior to the Riverbed with the title of a rich club.

However, the football game is not about whose history is more brilliant, but about the present.

The current head coach of River Plate is Ramon Diaz, a coach who was an excellent striker during his player age. He played for Fiorentina for two seasons, scored seventeen league goals and transferred to Inter Milan, where he helped the Nerazzurri win the most recent Serie A championship so far as the main striker.

As a head coach, Diaz likes to use cars as rewards to boost morale among players. Not so, although Toyota promises that the MVP of the game can drive a car provided by Toyota, Diaz still speaks before the game that as long as the team wins the Toyota Cup, the players can drive a BMW sports car by drawing lots.

For this game, Dias arranged a starting lineup of 442 for Riverbed: goalkeeper Boggs, four defenders are H Dias, Ayala (Paraguayan, not the well-known Argentine central defender), Berizo and Juan Solin, who had just experienced a failed trip to Europe; the midfield fours were Monserrat and Astrada, who were regarded as the successor of the king of football Maradona, and Enzo Francescoli; on the forward line, there was a combination of Cruise and Salas.

Capello, who has led the team to play twice in Toyota Cup, has a certain understanding of the style of South American teams. In addition, there are two players from Argentina in Fiorentina (Battistuta and Redondo). They used their relationship to get a lot of videos of the Riverbed team's game for Capello before the game. Therefore, for Dias' Riverbed team, the lucky Capello will at least not know anything about his opponent this time.

It is precisely this way that Capello specially set up a steadily counterattack in this game: on the defense line, the goalkeeper is still Toldo, Robert Carlos and Zambrota are separated, and Nesta and Ferrara are in the middle; in the midfield, the Italian coach sent Dibiagio, Davis and Redondo three midfielders, leaving Effenberg alone to organize the attack in the front; the forward combination is Batistuta and Ronaldo. Capello obviously hopes that these two forwards from South America can deal with the defense line of River Plate more effectively.
Chapter completed!
