Chapter 415: Winter Transfer (Medium)
The selection of players at right-back continues, and Zhuang Mingge is facing a headache with an ever-growing shortlist.
However, in terms of bench forwards, Zhuang Mingge got an unexpected news from the scouting department: River Plate center Julio Cruz has been sent to the reserve team by the team's head coach Dias, and the striker has been banned indefinitely until he admits his mistake!
The reason why Cruise suffered this treatment was that after the Toyota Cup match at the beginning of the month, the envious expression on the Argentine center's face before entering the tunnel was captured by the media and cameras present.
This can anger River Plate coach Dias, the former Argentina international after becoming the head coach, although he often uses material rewards to motivate his players to play well, but this usually does not mean that he will turn a blind eye to this kind of thing in Cao Ying's heart in Han, so the first thing happened.
Although no matter how you look at it, the unknown Cruise has nothing to do with the Italian giant team Fiorentina, so much so that many Argentine media think that this is Dias making an example of the monkey, and is warning the core of the team Ortega, asking him to stay in River Plate honestly, and not always have any scandals with those clubs in Europe......
Cruise, on the other hand, was nothing more than a victim of this incident. However, Dias should not care about this, after all, Argentina is also a football powerhouse, and there are endless new stars emerging every year, so what is a Cruise who scores less than double digits in a single season?
So, Cruise, who was innocently lying on the gun, was like this......
After the incident, Julio Cruz contacted the team through his agent, hoping to get a chance to continue playing through a transfer, but the domestic clubs in Argentina were not willing to offend River Plate, one of the two giants, because of him; Although playing in other countries in Latin America is also a way out, Cruise, who has just debuted and has not yet accumulated much fame in China, obviously cannot get a decent salary at those teams abroad.
At this time, the staff of GM, which was expanding its business in South America, heard about the incident and then transmitted the news back to Italy through internal channels, and Valentini, who was the general manager, saw that the matter seemed to have something to do with Florence, so he sent the news to the scouting department of Florence......
For the player Cruise, Zhuang Mingge is still quite familiar.
Although Julio Cruz has never been a regular player in the Argentine national team, he was largely an unknown striker until the age of 30. However, after switching to Inter Milan in the summer of 03, Cruise began a super substitute career that fans talked about the most: never make trouble in the dressing room, the manager said that he would do whatever he wanted, let him play as a substitute and even if he couldn't get into the squad without any complaints, and he was able to adjust his best condition as soon as he came on the field, and the most important thing was to score goals as soon as he came on the field - to have such a player is a great blessing for any team, and a player who can do this, In Zhuang Mingge's impression, there are only two people, Cruise and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Although the cause of this incident has a certain relationship with Florence, Zhuang Mingge still feels that Dias is a little too cautious - after all, you have also been a player, you should know that a player's desire for championship glory is a normal thing, isn't it just a glance at Florence? What's so awkward!
However, when Zhuang Mingge learned that Cruise was banned from the team may be because Dias warned "Maradona's successor" Ortega, he also expressed a certain degree of understanding of the Argentine coach's feelings: In any case, no manager wants to see the core players of his team transfer to other teams, even if this transfer is a good thing for the development of the player himself.
Zhuang Mingge is not interested in Ortega, which is touted by the Argentine media, and he knows the character flaws of the little donkey, and he knows that the introduction of the little donkey is equivalent to planting a time bomb in the dressing room in Florence. However, Zhuang Mingge was very interested in Cruise, who was already in trouble.
Don't make trouble, obey the arrangement, and score goals as soon as you get on the field...... Cruise may not be as steady and sophisticated as he was later, but these characteristics of him are definitely in line with the needs of Florence now.
Cruise's status as a non-EU player would have been a nuisance, as Fiorentina had already spent his place on his compatriot Redondo in the summer. However, Karin's sentence reminded Zhuang Mingge that the Argentine prince had played in Spain for six years before joining Fiorentina, and theoretically could apply for Spanish citizenship (both Argentina and Spain allow nationals to hold multiple citizenship)!
In this case, Redondo, who has Spanish nationality, will not be considered a non-EU player, and Fiorentina's non-European quota can be vacated for the introduction of Cruise.
"Karin, I didn't think of that! You're so smart! Overjoyed, Zhuang Mingge picked up Karin and spun around in the living room.
"Tony, hurry up and put me down! There are also guests nearby! Karin looked at Capello, who had come here again, with a flushed face, and whispered.
"Ahhah, it's good to be young~" Capello, who pretended to be deaf and dumb, turned his head out the window and looked at the weather outside.
Although Capello still had doubts about Zhuang Mingge's choice of Cruise, he still decided to believe Zhuang Mingge's judgment when he remembered the glorious record of Mr. President's own recruitment after he came to power.
Moreover, in the past six months in Florence, Capello has benefited several times because of his belief in Zhuang Mingge's vision, and before Stam and Glenschal came to Florence, Capello had heard the names of these two people? And now, the former has been recognized by many media as having the potential to become a Shijie-level central defender, and the latter has directly entered the Danish national team and has been dubbed the "successor of Little Laudrup" by Danish fans.
Trust the boss one more time, it should surprise me, right? With this in mind, Capello did not object.
After instructing Poirot to make an offer for Cruise and getting the River Plate center forward before the winter transfer door closed, Zhuang Mingge found Kenyon, who was in charge of the club's foreign affairs, and asked him to get Redondo's Spanish nationality within a month, because according to the normal procedure, Redondo would have to wait at least more than half a year to get dual citizenship, which Fiorentina could not afford to wait.
