There were nearly 50,000 people cheering and shouting! The sound was deafening like a tsunami and deafening.

In the VIP box in the stands, the 51-year-old Fiorentina club director is not Diego. Alone with a "number seven" shirt that had just been given to him by a fan representative, De La Valle fell into distant memories.

He was not a Florentine native or a Florentine fan, he was born in Sant'Ebidio by the sea in Italy, his family was not wealthy, like many families in the Sant'Ebidio area, it has always been a family workshop that survives on small crafts. The hard work of the generations has become the only magic weapon that the family can pass on the traditional shoemaking craft step by step. In the generation of little de la Valle's grandfather, his grandfather Philippe even had to set up all kinds of shoe-making tools in the kitchen, and "make-fit-out" the place where he prepared three meals a day into a "shoe-making workshop"!

As a child, De La Valle had a wide variety of soles and leathers that were the most interesting toys of his childhood. Growing up in shoe baskets, de la Valle no longer has to worry about making ends meet, as his grandparents did. He could go to school, go to university, and then, as the heir to a small shoe factory, run the property that his father left him with modest food and clothing, and eventually leave a sizable property to his offspring, as his father did. But de la Valle grew tired of the slow-growing, artisanal-style business model. After graduating from college with a degree in law, De La Valle came to the United States after only a brief internship in his father's factory.

In the United States, De La Valle was exposed to more complex business operations in the context of modern business society. In this highly commercialized country, he used his natural sense of smell to capture new information that was lacking in his factory workshop in his hometown of Italy.

Back in Italy, de la Valle began a series of drastic reforms, and in 1986, the Tod's brand was officially launched, and the Gommino was launched almost overnight to the top department stores in Europe and the United States: the soft-soled shoes with a sole of 133 rubber particles have now become an icon of international fashion, not only a must-have for the Spanish royal family, but also accompanied stars such as Julia Roberts and Michael Douglas on the podium many times.

Soon, de la Valle became a rich man, a rich man with a taste for life. He admired John F. Kennedy and at the same time loved sailing, so he bought a yacht that John F. Kennedy once owned. Like most Italians, he loves football, which led him to meet Moratti and become a senior advisor to Inter Milan's club.

At this time he had no contact with the Fiorentina Club. Until two years ago today, De La Valle was leisurely admiring the blue sky and white clouds on his yacht in Cannes, France, when he received a call from the mayor of Florence, Domenesisi, hoping that he could save the Fiorentina team, which could not live without football.

At this moment, Fiorentina was almost relegated to the amateur league due to financial problems, because C2's Cavise was relegated to the D division for match-fixing, and Fiorentina finally got lucky to stay in League C2. At this moment, all the players have moved on their own initiative, coach Fachetti has also chosen to leave, and the entire club is left with only a stadium belonging to the municipal government, an empty office building, and a stubborn captain Di Livio.

Seeing the Fiorentina team's plight, De La Valle's love for football in his blood prompted him to come up with the idea of helping the Fiorentina team. However, the cautious de la Valle did not directly agree to Domenici, but after consulting his friends and after two days of separate but precise thinking, on an ordinary evening, de la Valle called the mayor of Florence, Leonardo Domenici, and an old and new Florentine was born.

In the past two years, De La Valle has invested nearly 50 million euros in Fiorentina, who won the C2 title that year and entered Serie B in the second year, and now they are only half a step away from Serie A.

In addition to the gains in football, the 50 million also brought unexpected results to De La Valle's shoe industry, if De La Valle was only Italy's "shoe king". "His Tod's brand would never have become a household name today. Tod's own high-end route is not a product that everyone can care about, and most Chinese people and most people in the world will not be interested in this brand with a unit price of thousands of yuan. But the influence of the sport of football has had an extraordinary appeal to fans around the world, and De La Valle's arrival in Fiorentina has made the high-end footwear brand Tod's a well-known brand.

While the team is likely to be in Serie A after an hour, De La Valle is not content with Fiorentina Club's mere promotion in Italian football, and even the place that Fiorentina Club once had in the league is not his ultimate goal. Just as he once turned that small shoe factory into the big shoe group it is today, he hopes to have his own voice in the world's highest-level football league, and hopes to be able to make a difference in the Champions League!

"Your Excellency, Mr. Gabriel is here."

De La Valle was interrupted by Lu's musings as he walked in, and beside him stood a tall, muscular man with long blond hair like a lion.

De La Valle turned around, "Gabriel, Harrow, great! Welcome! The occasion could not be without the presence of heroes. ”

"Lord Diego, you are the hero of Florence! Without you, there would be no hope for Florence today! "Batistuta is like a bell and imposing, worthy of the Florentine god of war.

Lu Casey sneered, "You are all heroes and heroes of Florence. ”

"We don't have to compliment each other, Gabriel, sit down," said de la Valle. ”

No sooner had Batistuta and Della Valle sat down than they heard the Florentine announcer shout in a jī voice from the broadcast booth: "Let us welcome a distinguished guest with a round of applause, and he is Barty." In an instant, the stands burst into applause, everyone stood up, flags flew on the field, and fans chanted Batty's name.

Barty stood in front of the box, waved to the fans, and chanted a slogan that had not been shouted in a long time, "AleViola!" ）”。

De La Valle Ha smiled and said to Lu Casey, "See, this is the charm of a hero." ”

Barty returned to his seat and said, "Hopefully today's game will produce new heroes."

At this time, the Fiorentina players just walked out of the players' tunnel, and all the fans immediately changed their words and shouted "Chen! Old! Old! The momentum was huge, not inferior to the sound of the shouting of Batty just now.

De La Valle smiled and said: "In today's battle, if Chen can lead Fiorentina to Serie A, he will be able to become Florence's new god of war like you." “

Barty stared at the striker on the field with black hair, a strong body, revealing infinite energy, and sighed: "Mr. Diego, he will surpass me."

De La Valle treated him like his own son, and said, "I am satisfied that he has been able to reach your position." “

Batistuta said seriously: "Chen is more versatile than me, not only as a striker, but also as a playmaker, and he reminds me of Diego. Maradona. ”

De La Valle sighed: "Unfortunately, he is too old, and if he is five years younger, his achievements will definitely be limitless." On the court, Chen Yu was very nervous, and even a little nervous. It was the first time he had competed in such a final-like competition. This match is so important that he determines whether Fiorentina's hard work for a season is in vain, and he is considered to be the one who decides the outcome of this game, which makes Chen Yu feel inexplicable pressure.

For this game, Chen Yu made a lot of sacrifices before the game, after this period of hard training, he is the same as Fiorentina, only one step away from promotion, his current average points of the four qualities have reached 79 points, as long as he improves by 1 point, he will be able to break through the limit of professional seniority and enter the star level.

This is of great help to him to gain a foothold in Serie A, and even to make a name for himself in Serie A, but in order to ensure that he leads Fiorentina to the Serie A league, Chen Yu decided to skip the level again, even if his body suffers a certain amount of damage, a vacation, he may be able to return to the original level, but if this game is lost, he will need a year to make up for it.

Of course, if you are selfish, whether Fiorentina is promoted or not, Chen Yu can still transfer to a Serie A club, Zhang Shubin has clearly told him that there are now a lot of clubs pursuing him, not only in Serie A, but also in La Liga, the Premier League and the Bundesliga, among which there are many giants, he has become a sweet spot in the transfer market.

But Chen Yu doesn't want to leave Florence, this is where his dream began, there are teammates he likes, there are bosses, managers, coaches and fans who appreciate him, he can't abandon them, he has to give them enough rewards, he doesn't want to leave a place of infamy, just like Barty, although he left Florence for nine years for the championship, but now the Florence fans still miss him and still love him.
