Located in the south of the Netherlands, the city of Eindhoven is one of Europe's leading technology hubs and the fifth largest city in the Netherlands. The headquarters of the famous multinational company Philips is located in this city, and Philips is also the main sponsor of Eindhoven Football Club, one of the top three in Dutch football.

Although there is a wealthy multinational company Philips as the team's financial backing, it is obvious that Philips's careful habit of budgeting has also affected Eindhoven, and it is rare to see Eindhoven use Philips's financial resources in the transfer market to recruit aggressively, and also maintain the traditional habit of Dutch clubs, using their strong hematopoietic function to develop players, and then resell them at a high price after they become famous.

Although it is not as good as the leader Ajax in terms of the number of titles and domestic status, PSV Eindhoven is still one of the three strongest clubs in the Netherlands, and the quality of the stars produced is also quite good: Luther Gullit and Romario are the two "Footballer of the Year" who made a name for themselves in Eindhoven and went to Shijie. In later generations, PSV Eindhoven became a great star-making machine: a series of football superstars such as Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Arjen Robben were labeled as "Eindhoven products".

Therefore, after the failure of the campaign to recruit Seedorf, Zhuang Mingge decisively shifted his attention from Ajax to other teams in the Netherlands, the first of course being PSV Eindhoven.

In 1913, to commemorate the centenary of the independence of the Netherlands from France, Philips created a company-sponsored sports club for the company's employees, which eventually evolved into a professional football club over time, which is now Eindhoven.

Speaking of PSV Eindhoven in 1995, one name has to be mentioned, and that is the "alien" Ronaldo, the Brazilian striker who made a name for himself by scoring an incredible 30 goals in 33 Dutch league games in the 1994-95 season, and will be signed by Barcelona for $19.5 million next year, officially becoming a first-line star in La Liga.

Although the Boseman era has arrived, the Boseman shock wave will have a much smaller impact on PSV Eindhoven than Ajax, as their players have already completed contract extensions long before the Boseman Act was introduced.

Of course, Zhuang Mingge did not expect all the club's management to be as unresponsive as Ajax, and he came to PSV Eindhoven mainly to get things done in advance.

……

On the afternoon of 23 July, the atmosphere in the conference room of PSV Eindhoven's headquarters building was unusually solemn, as they had just received a phone call from the Fiorentina president in which the owner of the new Serie A champions wanted to pay a transfer fee to take ownership of Ronaldo, the team's leading scorer for the season.

"Frank, do you think Florence's offer is worth considering?" Speaking is the president of PSV Eindhoven Van Khaj, who has a knack for running the club, but when it comes to football-related matters, he relies more on the newly promoted general manager and the team's current head coach Dick Advocaat (the same manager who led the Dutch national team to the 1994 Shijie Cup and Euro 2004 respectively), and their opinions have had a lot of influence on him.

"I think that if Fiorentina's offer is suitable, it can be considered to accept it." The man known to Van Haney as Frank thought for a moment and replied.

"That's not going to work!" Hearing the general manager say this, Advocaat suddenly became anxious, "Ronaldo was the top scorer in our team last season, if he leaves so rashly, the team's results next season will be greatly affected." ”

It can be seen from Advocaat's coaching career that although in his early days he was influenced by Michels' all-attack and all-defensive thinking, and the tactical system applied was also established on this idea, but he really did not have any creativity in directing the attack, just like Van Marwijk who left last year, completely relying on the individual performance of the star (Bergkamp in '94, Robben in '04), and more emphasis on defense, sometimes even conservative.

Therefore, Advocaat is very important to this kind of star who can change the trend of the game on his own, and he certainly does not want to see the team let Ronaldo go for the transfer fee, after all, it is a matter of his job......

"Dick, you're not right to say that." It was still the man named Frank who spoke, "Our club also sold the team's leading scorer Romario the year before, but the team's results did not drop significantly. ”

Frank paused, then said, "One more thing, don't forget, Dick. That is, our Dutch club itself relies on the continuous sale of star players to make a profit, so as to maintain the operation of the club. ”

To Zuihou, he also added: "Boss, if Ronaldo is sold smoothly this time, I hope to be able to supplement the team with half of the transfer fee, after all, if a player like Ronaldo leaves, it is not possible to make up for the loss by digging inside alone." ”

Frank's words were reasonable, and Advocaat, who dissented, had nothing to say.

Seeing that the two sides were on the same page, Van Haney agreed to Frank's proposal and sent him to take charge of the negotiations with Fiorentina tomorrow.

……

As soon as Zhuang Mingge's car drove into the city of Eindhoven, he received a message from Antonioni: Inter Milan has just released an official news announcing that the top scorer who played for Ajax last season, Nigerian player Kanoo, has joined the Nerazzurri!

At the same time, Zhuang Mingge also got another piece of news, that is, AC Milan general manager Galliani also rushed to Amsterdam, and he was accompanied there by one of the most influential superstars in the history of the Ajax team, Marco van Basten.

"Hehe, it seems that Massimo wants to take Kluivert this time, but it is difficult." After Zhuang Mingge heard the news, he commented with a smile.

After all, although Basten did not reach the peak at Ajax, his status at Ajax and his influence on these players are not weaker than Cruyff, and many players like Kluivert and Reziger are looking forward to repeating the footsteps of the "Dutch Three Musketeers" in Milan, so Moratti wants to win Kluivert smoothly, and the most important thing is to be able to use something to overpower Basten's influence on him.

With the arrival of the Milan duo in Amsterdam one after another, it marks that the European giants of the four major leagues have begun to set their sights on the star-studded Dutch league, and a sweep that radiates the entire Netherlands has gradually kicked off......
