The anticipation of the fans has finally arrived on May 22, and tonight, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome will host a major sporting event: the 1995-96 UEFA Champions League final!

The Stadio Olimpico was packed with more than 70,000 fans, of which only about 27,000 were Ajax fans, and it seems that more than half of the more than 20,000 tickets sold to neutral fans were absorbed in Italy.

The staff in charge of ticketing at the Olympic Stadium said that they were absolutely impartial, and that they had no idea that the 20,000 tickets had been bought by Fiorentina fans......

It is for this reason that the stands at the Stadio Olimpico tonight saw more of the purple color representing Fiorentina, and there were far fewer fans wearing Ajax shirts, which looked a little lacking.

……

Since the Champions League final officially starts at 8 o'clock in the evening, at 6 o'clock, the Fiorentina players took the bus to the Olympic Stadium to prepare for the final before the Zuihou to adapt to the field training and warm-up, and then the players will be guided by the team coaching staff through the players' tunnel into the home team's dressing room, where Ranieri will do Zuihou's pre-match mobilization and tactical set-up for the game.

Despite being the president of Fiorentina, he does not have the authority to enter the dressing room without the manager's permission. Zhuang Mingge, who knows that this time should make the players feel as calm as possible, naturally will not commit this taboo at this time.

So, Zhuang Mingge, who honestly brought the three beauties to the VIP box he borrowed from Rosella Sensi, but unexpectedly found that there was an unexpected guest sitting in his box, and Zhuang Mingge, who did not dare to slack off in the slightest, hurriedly stepped forward to express his welcome to this visitor:

"Chairman Johansson, it's a pleasure to see you here!"

"Haha, President Corleone, I hope I didn't disturb your interest in watching the game, this time I just stopped by to say hello to you, the half-host, and my seat is in Box 1." Although John Song was old, he still noticed the three beauties around Zhuang Mingge, and he didn't know the details of the three women, he only regarded them as some inconsequential people, and teasingly glanced at Zhuang Mingge with a look that all men understand, and said.

Zhuang Mingge knew that the other party wanted to be crooked as soon as he saw Johansson's expression, but he would not deliberately correct the other party's wrong cognition: "Where is it, Chairman Johansson, you are so polite, it should be me to visit you, to be honest, I really want to thank you." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Without UEFA under your leadership, we European clubs would not have been able to get such huge tournament bonuses, and European football would not have been as well-known and attractive as it is now." Zhuang Mingge's words are telling the truth, during Johansson's presidency of UEFA, the vast majority of the quarterfinals of each Shijie Cup were from Europe, and the three major European cups held by UEFA have also become impressive, and the performance of European clubs in the Toyota Cup is no longer inferior to that of South American teams.

It can be said that without Johansson, European football would not have reached this height.

"Haha, Chairman Corleone, you've won the award, it's just my job." Although his mouth was very modest, the old man Johansson was obviously very useful to Zhuang Mingge's words, "Having said that, I also have something to thank you, I have never forgotten the help you extended to me when I was in Amsterdam." ”

In the presence of "outsiders", Johansson obviously had some scruples and did not directly find out what happened in Amsterdam, but Zhuang Mingge and Johansson both knew it, so naturally they did not say it explicitly.

"By the way, Chairman Johansson, I have something to discuss with you here......"

Next, in less than half an hour before the start of the game, Zhuang Mingge and Johansson discussed the reform plan of the three major European cups in the box.

"Antonio, you mean, it's better not to expand the Champions Cup and the UEFA Cup at the same time, you can only choose one of them, right?" Although the two of them didn't talk for more than half an hour in total, the names between the two had changed unconsciously.

"Yes, I think the expansion of the Champions League can really make the pie bigger and bigger, and all the teams that participate in the Champions League can also get more TV broadcast fees and match bonuses than before. But with the expansion of the League Cup, the situation is completely different. If you think about it, the expansion of the Champions Cup will inevitably poach many strong teams from the League Cup, which will lead to a significant decline in the attractiveness of this competition, and if the League Cup also chooses to expand, then the influx of a large number of underdogs may further reduce the attention of fans to this competition. ”

All in all, what Zhuang meant was telling Johansson not to continue to pour water into the already watery League Cup, which would inevitably lead to a further decline in the attractiveness and attention of the event.

In Zhuang Mingge's previous life, UEFA handled the League Cup in this way, and as a result, the status of this one of the three major European cups has declined sharply after a significant expansion, and many fans would rather go to La Liga and Serie A than pay attention to the League Cup, at most at the end of the season to see who the winner is.

Would fans rather watch a match in the big four leagues with countless strong teams, or would they rather watch a group stage match between two teams, Cyprus and Malta? You can think of it with your heel!

Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to the start of the game, Johansson had to temporarily suspend the exchange between the two, and felt that he and Zhuang Mingge had made an agreement to "have time to discuss in detail in the future" after agreeing to leave.

"The draw for Fiorentina's Champions Cup this time was just an accident, I hope you don't mind, President Corleone, I personally promise that this will not happen again in the future." When the two hugged and said goodbye, John Song whispered in Zhuang Mingge's ear in a volume that no one else could hear, and then drifted away, leaving only Zhuang Mingge, who was a little stunned in the box.

What's going on? Did you unknowingly worship a godfather for Florence?

Hawkers, anyway, as long as it's good for Florence, then everything is OK~
