Although from his own interests, Berezovsky's investment in acquiring a British football club was more helpful to him to increase his influence in the Western European world, from this point of view alone, it is much more cost-effective than the acquisition of Sampdoria, who has been confirmed to be relegated and will even play in the second division next season.

But unfortunately, although the 22 Premier League clubs were desperate and built the Premier League that is now developing rapidly in a mess, this does not mean that the British, who were once a people of the Empire of the Sun, would put aside their arrogance in their bones and be willing to let these people enter the British football world, which was once the world's number one.

For example, Murdoch's News Group launched an acquisition of Manchester United club last year, but the acquisition caused a joint boycott of the entire British government and opposition, and eventually suffered a Waterloo under the intervention of British fans, the FA and the British government.

Even News Corp., which has become famous all over the world and saved English football with a broadcast contract worth hundreds of millions of pounds at the most difficult time, ended up like this. Berezovsky didn't think he would get an ideal result.

Therefore, compared to being conservative and stubborn and xenophobic British football, Italian football, which has been guided by Zhuang Mingge, is obviously the best choice in Berezovsky's eyes.

After all, compared with the other three major leagues in the five major European leagues, Serie A is not allowed to be privately owned like the Bundesliga, nor is it in a situation where influence and attractiveness to stars are declining sharply like Ligue 1, nor is it like La Liga. No matter what achievements other teams achieve, they can only obediently watch the faces of the two clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona!

After making the above considerations, Berezovsky made the final decision and agreed to go to the lobbying Groz, who agreed to invest in the acquisition of Sampdoria from Mantovani, to take over this club with a glorious past.

Although during the conversation, Berezovsky expressed his hope to directly acquire a Serie A club, Groz, who had exchanged views with Zhuang Mingge before going to Russia, was prepared: "Mr. Berezovsky, I don't think this is a wise idea. Although with the help of Florence, the resistance you encounter when you acquire Sampdoria will be much smaller, but if you directly acquire a Serie A club, it will undoubtedly cause the entire Italian football world to be vigilant and uneasy, and it is easy to cause the acquisition to be abandoned halfway."

"Well, Ms. Groz, what you said is indeed very reasonable," Berezovsky thought, and felt that the other party's words were really correct. If it was to acquire Sampdoria, no one would mention any opinions. He could also make a purchase under the banner of saving the old powerhouse. At that time, the Italian Football Association and Samp fans will definitely agree with each other and give the green light to the Russian tycoon's entrance, because they are the people who least want Sampdoria to go to **.

In this way, with Groz Jr.'s reasonable and well-founded persuasion, Berezovsky finally gave up his plan to acquire the Serie A team and decided to do his best to operate Sampdoria's acquisition plan!

Although Sampdoria has confirmed relegation and the team's hearts are fluctuating, this is nothing to be said for the wealthy Berezovsky. With the example of Florence, the Russian oligarch has sufficient confidence in the plan to revive the Aquarium Legion with a checkbook.

On the other hand, Karin, who is responsible for dealing with Crown Prince Althani, did not receive the expected results. The Qatar prince now devoted most of his energy to expanding the Qatar league and enhancing the influence of Qatar football in Asia, especially the upcoming AFC presidential election, which involved a lot of his energy and financial resources, which led to Althani not having to take this opportunity to continue to expand Qatar's sphere of influence in Europe. Therefore, although Althani was willing to intervene in the acquisition of Sampdoria, he also knew that he was powerless now.

However, compared to Berezovsky, who prefers to hide behind the scenes to engage in conspiracies, Crown Prince Althani is obviously much more straightforward in his manners. After politely rejecting the invitation to take over Sampdoria, the Qatari prince explained the reason directly to Karin, and at the same time swears that if there is such a thing in the future, he and the Qatari consortium he belongs to will definitely help.

In this way, Karin returned to Florence with a reply from Al Thani's promise to the future and the failed invitation.

While Zhuang Mingge and others were secretly looking for a buyer for Sampdoria, the final of the first leg of the Italian Cup between Fiorentina and Parma had arrived quietly without realizing it.

According to the schedule set by the Italian Football Association, the first leg of the two teams will be held at Parma's home court, that is, the Tardini Stadium.

For players who have already Capello and Fiorentina, a Cup of Italian trophy is nothing, and most of them have already reached a point of weakness in winning the championship. However, when the Champions League is eliminated and the league championship is locked in advance, Fiorentina feels that it will work harder and put the Italian Cup in front of them into the pocket, which is already in front of them, which seems to be a good choice.

Moreover, from the perspective of Fiorentina, this Italian Cup trophy can also rush the team's suppression and wash away the bad luck brought by the team's elimination from the Champions League by Bayern, which will help improve the players' mental outlook.

Therefore, in the worry-free situation of the league, Capello, who is bound to win the championship, sent the strongest lineup in this game, including Tordo, Carlos, Nesta, Redondo, Ronaldo and other main players, all of whom were on the court, preparing to do their best to get the opponent in this first leg, turning the Italian Cup final into a one-man show in Fiorentina.

Unlike Fiorentina, Parma, who has basically not won any heavyweight championship in recent years, has a huge desire for honor at this time. Therefore, seeing the Italian Cup trophy that is close to you, even if the opponent has completed the five consecutive league championships, in Fiorentina, which is well-known in Italian football, Maresani and his players will not choose to give up the game, but will be more active in preparing for the pre-match, preparing to give Fiorentina a big "surprise" in the first round of the competition.

Or it can be said that since Asprila broke Milan's 58-game unbeaten gold medal in 1993 with a winning streak, Parma has developed such a temperament from the bottom of his bones, a temperament that is not afraid of powerful enemies, and even a team at the dominant level dares to pull him off!
