After arriving in Amsterdam, Zhuang Mingge, who had just stepped out of the airport, received a call from Florence.

"Boss, I just received a transfer offer here." Antonioni's tone on the phone was very bad, it seemed that the matter was not small, "Sampdoria has just sent us a transfer offer. ”

Zhuang Mingge never thought that before he could dig into other people's corners, someone was already ready to attack Florence, "Enrique (Mantovani Jr.) Who does he fancy again?" Is it Gabriel (Batistuta), or Philippe (Inzaghi)? ”

"Neither, it's Vincenzo (Montella)." Antonioni on the other end of the phone only smiled bitterly, for the many first-team members in the Fiorentina team and the good seedlings in the youth team, the club has renewed their contracts as soon as possible, but there are still several players who have not signed new contracts, one of which is Montella, when he signed him in 93, the club gave him a three-year contract, which expires in the summer of next year.

"What do you think of the players themselves?" Antonioni's tone on the phone gave Zhuang Mingge a premonition that the team might lose Montella in the summer.

Vincenzo said he wants to play for a team that can guarantee his place in the main team...... Of course, he also said that if Fiorentina can guarantee his playing time in the first team next season, then he can agree to stay. ”

Montella is already equivalent to telling the team in disguise that he wants to transfer, because his request is very unrealistic, first of all, after the arrival of Robert Baggio, the number of players who can play forward in the first team has reached five, not to mention Batistuta, who is set to start, the remaining Baggio and Inzaghi will split most of the playing time in the other position, and Vieri is now more of a natural substitute for Barty, and Montella, who is similar to Inzaghi's style, unless someone has an injury or team rotation, Otherwise, it is difficult to have the opportunity to get a lot of playing time, which is definitely unbearable for Montella, who is in the rising stage of his career.

Therefore, when Sampdoria sent a representative to contact Montella privately, assuring him of the main position in the Sea Blue Army and hoping that he could put pressure on Fiorentina, Montella, who had long wanted to get more game opportunities, agreed to the other party's proposal to transfer to Fiorentina, but Montella did not agree to the request to pressure the club, after all, there is no need for him to turn his face with Fiorentina in order to transfer Sampdoria.

In fact, if it weren't for his position in the team was not very stable, Montella would not have planned to leave, after all, according to the development of the past few years, staying in Fiorentina will definitely get more honors than going to Sampdoria, maybe Fiorentina will become a Serie A giant in a few years, and he naturally can't make a mistake with the current club for the sake of Sampdoria.

'Let Hercule [Poirot] go and talk to them for as much as you can on the transfer fee, after all, Montella has one year left on his contract and he can only become a free agent next year." Zhuang Mingge thought about it for a while and decided that it was better to let Montella go, after all, with his memory of more than ten years of advanced football, it is not difficult to get a more Haode striker, "Also, we must hurry up and extend the contract period with players who have not yet renewed their contracts, and sign them as long as possible." ”

"Haode, I see, boss." With that, Antonioni hung up.

"Let's go, Karin." With that, Zhuang Mingge took Karin's hand and rented an Opel car at a car rental shop near the airport to go to the headquarters of the Ajax Club.

Amsterdam, the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, has a population of only 700,000 people, and is known as the "Venice of the North" with more than 1,000 bridges connecting the city's various areas.

The real Venice is longing for a Serie A team to be born in the city, and Ajax, which is entrenched in the "Venice of the North", has won five trophies in the last four years (two Dutch leagues, one cup competition, one European Cup, one League Cup).

"Welcome to President Corleone!" At the gate of the Ajax club headquarters, an Ajax official was sent out to welcome Zhuang Mingge and others.

"My name is Michel van Praag and I'm the head of public relations at Ajax.

"Mr. Van Praag, is it? I've admired the name for a long time......"

Van Praag didn't know where the young Florentine boss had heard his name, but Zhuang Mingge was secretly crying out for luck: this shijie is so small, and a public relations manager will pop up at random, all of whom are at the level of the chairman.

Zhuang Mingge vaguely remembers that the unimpressive public relations manager in front of him will become the chairman of Ajax Club in the near future, and later become the chairman of the UEFA Competition Committee!

Therefore, it is necessary to make friends with such a figure, at least in case Platini comes to the stage in the future and does not like Florence, there can still be a high-level figure to speak for himself......

Historically, after Van Praag became the president of Ajax FC, in addition to maintaining the original Ajax model, the club's scouting system expanded to the world, after a few years of pain, under his guidance, Ajax achieved a revival in the early 21st century, led by Van der Vaart and foreign players led by Ibrahimovic joined forces to create a group of Ajax youth army.

After the Boseman era arrived, it will be even more challenging for the principals of various football clubs to test their wisdom.

For the giants, they only need to think about how to poach from other teams and maximize their income, such as Real Madrid and Chelsea; For some teams, they have to select the most suitable players for the team from a large group of players, and use limited resources to buy the most cost-effective players, such as the current Lazio and Napoli; There are also some teams that have begun to retrain from more remote areas, and maintain their business by reselling players for huge profits, such as Udinese; Clubs that can't adapt to this era have sunk, such as Nottingham Forest......

This is an era of wisdom, and all people and clubs who cannot keep up with the changes of this era will be ruthlessly abandoned, and will be drowned in the long river of time, and only when people open the picture book of history will they find their past glory in it.

What Zhuang Mingge wants to do is to let Florence adapt to this "big era" as quickly as possible, conform to the tide of the times, and build Florence into a top giant in Europe.
