Since the meeting held by the Italian Football Federation will have a great impact on the future development direction of Serie A, as the president of Fiorentina Club and the top decision-maker within Purple Lily, Zhuang Mingge is naturally the best person to represent Fiorentina at this meeting. Because only Zhuang Mingge himself had enough power to make decisions on behalf of Florence in such important matters, and the others, even the two general managers of Antonioni or Kenyon, did not have such power, so it was in vain to go to Rome.
The other seventeen Serie A clubs apparently had similar ideas to Zhuang Mingge, and also sent their top decision-makers. Therefore, when Zhuang Mingge walked into the conference room under the guidance of the staff, it was not surprising that he found many familiar faces.
Inter Milan President Massimo Moratti, Juventus General Manager Moggi, AC Milan General Manager Galliani, Lazio General Manager Dino Zoff, Roma President Franco Sensi...... These bigwigs, who are influential in Italian and even European football, have come together today under the convening of the Italian Football Federation to ensure that the future development of Italian football can develop in their favor!
This is another reason why Zhuang Mingge came in person, if the person who came this time was Antonioni or Kenyon, Fiorentina would lose a lot in aura, and when the clubs began to sit down and compete for interests, Fiorentina, whose own boss was not present, would inevitably suffer a dark loss.
Don't look at Zhuang Mingge's current power is very strong, this is just that people dare not bully Florence openly. If Mo Lao Fox and Jia Bald Man and they join forces to pit the purple lily, then Florence, who was hit, can only endure it, and then wait for the opportunity to retaliate back - since it is inferior to others and being yin, then don't drop the price to go around and make a noise, it is right to find an opportunity to come back, this is the unspoken rule of Italian football.
It's like the boss of Mo in his previous life was fooled by Moggie and stupidly exchanged Cannavaro for a so-called "future star" Carini, but at that time, Inter Milan didn't say anything in the end? It wasn't until two years later that the phonegate incident broke out, and then he poached Vieira and Ibrahimovic from Juventus to avenge the revenge of the year.
In addition, the main reason why the identities of the participants were different this time, some clubs sent the general manager of the team, while others were the president of the club, was because the specific situation of each club was different. Like Fiorentina and Inter Milan, Zhuang Mingge and Moratti are often involved in the management of the club, so naturally the chairman himself came over; And like AC Milan and Juventus, Galliani and Moggi, who are in charge of this aspect of affairs, and with their cunning and shrewdness, they will not be cheated lightly, so it is natural for them to attend this meeting as the general manager of the club.
"Hey, Massimo, we're meeting again." At this time, there was still a period of time before the meeting began, and everyone was talking to each other in groups, so Zhuang Mingge was naturally no exception, sat on the seat next to the sad Moratti, and began to talk with the Inter Milan president, "Hey, what's going on again, why do you look sad?" ”
"Antonio, you're still the same as before, always the last to arrive." Seeing Zhuang Mingge sitting over, Moratti's expression relaxed a little, and then said, "You came just in time, I have some questions that I plan to consult with you, I wonder if you have the time to listen to me complain now?" ”
"No problem, there's still an hour before the meeting starts, and I think that should be enough time to solve your troubles." Zhuang Mingge thought about it and felt that it was very likely that Inter Milan had something wrong again, so he decided to temporarily act as a listener to solve the troubles of Boss Mo, and regarded it as passing the time to enlighten his allies.
"Alas, here's the way it is......" Seeing that Zhuang Mingge agreed to his request, Moratti began to slowly express his distress.
As Zhuang Mingge expected, what made Moratti so troublesome was still Inter Milan's.
With nearly halfway through Serie A, Inter Milan is currently a full 15 points behind Fiorentina at the top of the table with 26 points from eight wins, two draws and six losses, and is also six points behind Juventus and Lazio, who are tied for second place in the table. As a result, how can the boss of Mo, who invested a lot last summer, even hire Lippi to coach the team at a high salary, be embarrassed?
Faced with this harsh reality, Massimo Moratti seems so sad, and for the first time after investing huge sums of money in the transfer market and club management, he feels powerless. Although the Moratti family is a well-known Italian oil tycoon, it stands to reason that they will not be short of this amount of money in these years of rising oil prices. But the point is that Massimo Moratti is not the head of the Moratti family, and his net worth is quite limited, so when his investment is constrained by the family, it means that he can no longer invest large sums of money as he wants, like Zhuang Mingge or Cragnoti.
In fact, this is also one of the butterfly effects of Zhuang Mingge's crossing guide, and the historical Inter Milan won at least one League Cup championship in the 97-98 season, which made people see a glimmer of hope for revival, and also made the Moratti family willing to continue to support the Moratti boss. However, in a world where the Champions Cup was expanded to 32 teams ahead of schedule, Inter Milan, who qualified for the Champions Cup, naturally said goodbye to the League Cup, and Moratti lost his family's support several years early.
At the same time, the continuous negative news of Inter Milan has become the last straw that crushes Moratti, the contradiction between Robert Baggio and Lippi, the contradiction between Panucci and Lippi, the disintegrated locker room environment after Bergomi was forced to retire, and the team's unsatisfactory results, all of which made Boss Mozambique feel a headache and feel haggard at the same time!
“…… That's the way it is now, Antonio, what do you think I'm going to do now? Moratti's expression at the moment was full of confusion and distress, "I won't ask you to let Fiorentina deliberately give me a championship trophy, this kind of thing is no different from match-fixing, I can't do it, and I won't do it." But I want you to show me a way forward and let me know how to do it, because I'm desperate right now! ”
