"Then I'll leave everything to you! Chairman Corleone! As soon as Saburo Kawabuchi heard Zhuang Mingge say this, he quickly nodded to the other party and tried his best to curry favor, because he knew that only GM companies, which almost unified the resources of Italian stars, could help him now.

It's not that Saburo Kawabuchi can't find a way to operate Japanese players to play in the other three major leagues, but compared to Zhuang Mingge, who has dealt with him before, Saburo Kawabuchi can't figure out how to play in other leagues; Moreover, in any case, Serie A is also the current Shijie No. 1 League, and if you want to learn the advanced ideas of European football, of course, you have to learn the most haode, why go to the other three major leagues? This is the opinion of Japanese football people during this period.

"Haha, since Chairman Kawabuchi said so, let's discuss the specific content of the cooperation now......" Zhuang Mingge said to Kawabuchi Saburo with a smile on his face.

Eventually, before the end of the talks, two verbal agreements were reached between Zhuang Mingge and Saburo Kawabuchi, the first of which was that the Japanese Football Association would provide funding for Fiorentina to provide training for four players, Hidetoshi Nakata, Shinji Ono, Shunsuke Nakamura and Junichi Inamoto, for six months, and the Japan Football Association would provide Fiorentina with a sponsorship fee of $3 million for each of the trainees, with a total value of up to $12 million.

As for the source of funds, it is not the responsibility of the Fiorentina side, and it is up to Saburo Kawabuchi to contact those who will implement all the terms of the agreement as long as the Japanese Football Association pays on time.

The second deal is that Zhuang Mingge will sell Hidetoshi Nakata to Serie A side through GM's channels, with a view to allowing the midfielder to join a Serie A club when the transfer door opens next summer. After the completion of the matter, GM can receive an intermediary fee of $5 million, and Zhuang Mingge, as the matchmaker, will receive more than half of the share.

After the end of this meeting, Zhuang Mingge, who was already sleepy-eyed, saw off Saburo Kawabuchi at the door of the room, and then went back to his bedroom to sleep with Karin's slender waist in his arms......

Saburo Kawabuchi, who had achieved great results, did not feel sleepy at all, and worked all night with a vote of his subordinates, raising 10 million US dollars in just two days, and remitting the money to the account of Florence.

At the same time, Saburo Kawabuchi also approached four players, including Hidetoshi Nakata, and told them that they were going to pack their bags and go to Fiorentina for a short training session.

And Nakata Hidetoshi and others were so excited that they couldn't speak after learning that they could go to the Fiorentina club for half a year of training, in their eyes, Serie A is undoubtedly the most haode league on Shijie, and Fiorentina, which won the treble last season, is undoubtedly the most Haode team in Shijie football today.

Fiorentina's midfield, in particular, is simply star-studded, with Effenberg, Djokaeff, Redondo, Davies...... Which one is not a well-known name in shijie football? According to Hidetoshi Nakata and others, if they can go to Fiorentina for training, then they will have more opportunities to learn from these stars and improve their own abilities.

When all that was over, Fiorentina's first-team players finally stepped off the plane under Capello's leadership and headed to the city of Tokyo, where they would compete for this year's championship honour at the National Stadium in Tokyo, the Toyota Cup.

The Toyota Cup, as the name suggests, is a cup competition hosted by the Japanese company Toyota, where the two sides are the winners of the European Champions Cup and the Copa Libertadores, and each participating team can receive an appearance fee of 15 million pesetas. At the same time, the best players in each Toyota Cup can get a sedan provided by Toyota.

In this year's Toyota Cup, Fiorentina will face River Plate, one of Argentina's two giants.

In terms of historical honours, River Plate's trophy in the honour room is many times higher than Fiorentina's, with 25 Argentine league titles, two Copa Libertadores and one Intercontinental Cup (the predecessor of the Toyota Cup) dwarfing Fiorentina's record of being promoted to one of the European powers.

There are many famous stars in Shijie football who have played in River Plate, such as Real Madrid's famous "Golden Arrow" Di Stefano, the first Italian player to win the European Ballon d'Or (originally from Argentina, later became an Italian citizen), Kempes, the hero who won the Shijie Cup in 78, and the captain of the national team, Passarella, the magical goalkeeper Goyechea who attracted the world's attention in the Italian summer of 90, and Caniggia, the "Son of the Wind". And now the prince of Uruguay, Francisco Coli, who has just returned to River Plate from Europe, it can be said that in terms of history, Florence is completely inferior to River Plate, which has the title of Rich Club.

However, the football game is not about who has the more glorious history, but about the present.

River Plate's current head coach is Ramon Diaz, a fine striker in his playing days, having spent two seasons at Fiorentina, scoring seventeen league goals before moving to Inter Milan, where he helped the Nerazzurri to their most recent Serie A title so far.

As a head coach, Diaz likes nothing more than to use cars as a reward to boost the morale of his players. No, although Toyota promised that the MVP of the game would drive away a car provided by Toyota, Diaz still released before the game that as long as the team wins the Toyota Cup, the players can drive away a BMW sports car by lottery.

For this game, Dias laid out a set of 442 starting lineup for River Plate: goalkeeper Boggs, the four defenders are H. Dias, Ayala (Paraguayan, not the well-known Argentine central defender), Berizzo and Juan Sorrin, who has just experienced a failed trip to Europe; The midfield quartet is Monserrat, Astralda, Ortega, who is regarded as the successor to Maradona, and Enzo Francescoli, the "Prince of Uruguay"; Up front, it's a combination of Cruise and Salas.

Capello, who has already led the team to two Toyota Cups, has a certain level of knowledge of the style of the South American team, and with two players from Argentina in the Fiorentina team (Batistuta and Redondo), they have brought Capello a lot of River Plate game footage before the game. Therefore, for Dias's River Plate team, the lucky Capello will at least not be ignorant of the opponent this time.

It is precisely in this way that Capello deliberately put on a solid counterattack in this game: on the back line, the goalkeeper is still Toldo, Robert Carlos and Zambrotta are separated, and Nesta and Ferrara partner in the middle; In the midfield, the Italian coach sent Di Biagio, Davies and Redondo as the three midfielders, leaving only Effenberg to organize the attack in front; With Batistuta and Ronaldo up front, Capello is clearly hoping that the two South American-born strikers can be more effective against River Plate's backline.

The big war is about to begin.
