While Chen Yu and his teammates were returning to China for a leisurely vacation, the Fiorentina club was nervously carrying out transfer hype.

For the current Fiorentina, the top priority is to determine the head coach first, if the head coach is not determined, the task of spitting out the old and accepting the new cannot be completed, watching all the teams in Serie A scramble to hunt in the transfer market, and many people even extend their clutches to the territory of Fiorentina, how can Fiorentina not be in a hurry.

Before Chen Yu returned to China, the manager of Fiorentina personally asked Chen Yu's opinion, and after Chen Yu left, the senior management of the Fiorentina club held two more meetings to discuss whether the head coach should be replaced, and even the club instructed its own local media to conduct a poll, and finally Fiorentina made the decision to change the coach.

During the Confederations Cup, Fiorentina president Della Valle, who was on his way to the game, revealed that Fiorentina would be changing their manager.

In an interview with German journalists, the Italian shoe magnate reassured fans that Fiorentina had a brilliant performance last season, but that did not satisfy him, and this season he will continue to invest heavily to make the purple lilies bloom throughout Europe. De La Valle also hinted that Fiorentina could have done better last season, but they didn't pull off any bigger miracles because of a coaching problem, and that this season will certainly not be the case again.

If De La Valle is more subtle, the interview with Fiorentina's current head coach Busso is very clear to support the signs of Fiorentina's change of manager.

Busso, who is on vacation, said that he does not want to be idle, but the club has taken his vacation, and he does not need to interfere in the transfer of the team for the time being, and for the future, Buso said that he has not received a contract renewal notice from Fiorentina so far, and Buso said that he is the only manager in the entire European football who has not renewed his contract yet.

Subsequently, before Fiorentina fans had time to suspect, Fiorentina's club manager Lu Kecy held a press conference to announce that Fiorentina would no longer renew Buso's contract, and Fiorentina's new head coach will be former Parma and Roma coach Prandelli.

Lu Casey explained at a press conference: "I am very saddened by the decision to inform him of this from the point of view of feelings. I know that none of us look like good people at this moment. We will never forget what he did for Fiorentina, he did so well and won us a wonderful Coppa Italia trophy, but we had to make such a cruel decision for the sake of the future of the team. ”

Fiorentina president Della Valle said: "The change of manager is not a matter of personal preference, but a painful decision that has to be made for the good of the team. Regardless, Fiorentina is grateful to Busso for the results he has done for the club. I am very grateful for the work he has done for the club, which I have said to Busso personally and I would like to reiterate here. Next season we are aiming to do well in the league and Champions League and that was the main reason for my decision because it looks like Prandelli is more up to the task.

Three days later, in the press conference hall of the Stadio Frankie, the Fiorentina club held a press conference for the new head coach Prandelli, and due to the popularity of Fiorentina and Prandelli, the number of journalists attending the press conference reached more than 100.

At the press conference, Prandelli explained why he chose Fiorentina.

"Monsieur de la Valle came to my hometown of Brescia twice to invite me, but my wife Manuela was ill and I refused, but Monsieur de la Valle made a good impression on me, he was passionate, ambitious and sincere, and I thought at the time, even if Fiorentina were in the second division, I would agree to go there to coach, because it was to carry out the ideal plan with the ideal people. Now I have a sense of historical mission, I want to be Sir Alex Ferguson of Fiorentina, I want to see those young talents grow up and then slowly become club staff, of course, it's almost impossible to be in charge of a team in Italy, and if you want to do that, it's definitely going to be very difficult than anywhere else. But Florence is very much to look forward to, I want to make it a city that is constantly cheering for winning, and I want to be successful here. ”

Prandelli's first task after taking charge was to deal with the renewal of the contract of Chen Yu, the core of the team, as well as the question of Chiellini, Maresca, Mikoli (Juventus), Jorgensen (Udinese) and Obodo (Perugia) who share players with other clubs, to which Prandelli gave a clear and unequivocal answer.

"Chen Yu will still be the core of the team, we have to keep him, I will call him back and exchange opinions, the problem of shared players has to be solved quickly, because it is not entirely up to us to decide, but it has a very big impact on our new season, players like Chiellini, Micoli, Obodo and Maresca have a big impact on the team, we have to try to decide whether to keep or give them up within a week."

Prandelli also believes that Fiorentina need to strengthen the positions in goalkeeper and midfield, "Fiorentina fell short last season, mainly because we were not up to the title in the goalkeeper and midfield positions, and in the summer transfer, we will strengthen these two positions, I called Frei and he agreed to come to Fiorentina, and I also hope to get Brocki, Donadaire and Pachenza, if they can come, we will be able to stand up next season." “

Prandelli has always relied on tapping the potential of young players to become famous, Adriano and Mutu grew up under his tutelage, Prandelli entered Fiorentina, naturally to make the young people of Fiorentina excited, Chiellini, Maresca, Obodo and others have expressed their support for Prandelli, hoping to improve under the leadership of the new coach.

However, Fiorentina's old players have a mediocre response, and many people are noncommittal, although the team's core and spiritual leader Chen Yu has only debuted for three years, but in terms of age, he is already an old player.

After Prandelli confirmed to be in charge of Florence, the media also interviewed Chen Yu, for this, Chen Yu had already been mentally prepared and was not surprised, he thought that Fiorentina changed coaches in such a situation, a little cruel to Buso, and at the same time gave Prandelli more pressure, but Chen Yu also believes that Prandelli is an extraordinary coach, he will definitely be able to withstand the pressure and lead Florence to greater glory.

After Prandelli officially became the head coach of Fiorentina, he communicated with Chen Yu and some of Fiorentina's veterans, talked about his own team building ideas and playing style, Prandelli's preparation was very sufficient, this year, he did not just accompany his wife in front of the hospital bed, he knew Fiorentina's game well, and came up with a package of targeted plans and measures, Prandelli's ideas won the approval and support of Chen Yu, Ricano, Maresca and Dainelli, Uj Farusi and other players, This made Prandelli more confident in the transformation of Florence.

With Prandelli officially coaching Fiorentina, Fiorentina, who had been in the transfer market for no action, began to exert its strength.

First of all, Prandelli asked the club to complete the contract renewal with Chen Yu as soon as possible, and then immediately poached his disciple Frei, who was coaching at Parma.

Frey is physical, quick and reflexive. The disadvantage is that his performance is not consistent enough, he has twice won the nearest goalkeeper in Serie A, he is the backup goalkeeper of the French team, and Butters is dying, he has a good chance of becoming the main goalkeeper of the French team.

Fiorentina had Frei as the first goalkeeper, so naturally there was no need for two substitute goalkeepers of the same level, so Lupatelli was exchanged for Parma, while Sejas chose to stay.

Prandelli's second shot is aimed at their weak position - the back, there are ready-made candidates for this position, AC Milan's defender Brockie is bent on leaving, Fiorentina and AC Milan have been in contact before, but because the Fiorentina coach is unknown, Fiorentina did not dare to introduce easily, and now Prandelli is sure to Brockie, so the two sides hit it off, Brockie was loaned to Fiorentina, and then brought in the veteran Donadale who can play defenders and midfielders and the free transfer full-back Pancaro.

Prandelli's three shots solved most of the problems that Fiorentina fans were worried about, making the media and fans more optimistic about Fiorentina's change of coach, and now they are more hopeful that Prandelli can keep the heroes of last season and not buy new people, but the old man is gone, and the team has to run in again.

Chen Yu's contract renewal is certainly not so easy, because now the whole of Europe is pursuing Chen Yu, Chen Yu, who is facing so many temptations, will naturally slowly bargain with Fiorentina, during this period, what Prandelli can do is to improve the rest of the team, improve the strength of the team, and let Chen Yu see the hope of winning the championship, which may make Chen Yu more inclined to stay, rather than jump ship.

In addition to Chen Yu, Fiorentina's main team last season was Joggensen, Maresca, Micoli, Obordo and Chiellini, who were shared with other teams, and Fiorentina was particularly critical to solving the problem of these five people.

Players shared, and it is a unique form of trading in Serie A.

The so-called co-player means that the player is jointly owned by two clubs, which can be regarded as a major feature of the Italian league. With such a bizarre transfer system, the idea of the Football Association and the professional leagues is mainly to take care of more small teams, so that they can get a certain player of their choice at a lower price. As the economic situation in the Italian league deteriorates, more and more middle-class teams are now keen to share players, with teams such as Udinese and Fiorentina all sharing players. At the same time, co-players have also become an important way for Italian giants to develop young players in addition to loans.

The simple way to understand this is to divide the ownership of a player into two parts, with two different clubs each owning one part. The two clubs must negotiate the sale of the player, the loan and other issues, and for the club seeking to buy the player, the membership fee must be negotiated with both clubs before they can start discussing the details of the personal contract with the player. In the first year, the Italian Professional League will ask both clubs if they want to renew the contract, if either party agrees, the contract will be automatically fulfilled, if neither party agrees, the contract will be terminated, and the parties will negotiate (the higher bidder will get the player) the ownership of the player. After two years, both teams must make a bid for the player's other half ownership, with the higher bidder getting the player, and if both bids are the same, the player will remain at the club.

Every year in the month of U, the professional league organizes a "summit" in Milan for clubs to discuss the ownership of the co-players. Until the start of this meeting, the contract issues of the co-players can still be manipulated. The two clubs can privately agree to buy and sell the majority of the team's ownership, or else they will have to submit a bid to the professional league for a secret bid. The price written by both parties is shared in an envelope, and when the envelope is opened, the highest bidder will receive full ownership of the player.

Seeing that Fiorentina invited Prandelli, who has strong coaching ability, and quickly bought strong players such as Frei, Brockie, and Donadale, the defending champion Juventus felt the crisis, and they wanted to weaken Fiorentina's strength, so they decided to take back the ownership of Maresca, Mikoli and Chiellini.
