The day after the negotiations, a five-year contract with a salary of $15,000 a week and the name of Ronaldo was faxed from faraway Rio de Janeiro to the Eindhoven club's office.

When this contract was in his hands, Zhuang Mingge really breathed a sigh of relief: if there were no major accidents, Fiorentina's forward combination in the next five years would not need to be replaced.

The next task is for PSV Eindhoven and Fiorentina to report the transfer transaction to their respective national football associations and file them.

After exchanging words of "happy cooperation" with Arnesen, Zhuang Mingge and his party left Eindhoven and returned to Amsterdam, from where they were ready to take a flight back to Florence.

Now Amsterdam is full of heroes from all walks of life, such as AC Milan general manager Galliani, Inter Milan boss Massimo Moratti, Barcelona vice president Gaspart, Real Madrid coach Baldano...... Even Juventus' Mo Lao Fox has been on the move, and his target is said to be Ajax goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

However, Zhuang Mingge does not plan to "carve up Ajax" with these people again, after completing the transfer goal of this trip to the Netherlands, Zhuang Mingge and his party did not stop in Amsterdam and directly boarded the plane to return to Florence.

……

"Hey, Gabriel, why didn't you go on vacation with your family and fly straight back to Florence?" After returning to Fiorentina, Zhuang Mingge was surprised to find that Batistuta had returned to the club before him for basic recovery training.

"Alas, boss, don't mention it, we met Brazil in the quarterfinals of this Copa America match." Batistuta mentioned this trip to Uruguay, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "You also know that the schedule of the Copa America is very tight, and after playing a group stage on the 15th, we have to play the knockout round with the Brazilians just one day later, and we were eliminated tragically." ”

"Well, who's the winner of the Copa America this time?"

"It's Uruguay, they beat Brazil in the final, but I'm afraid they can get a trophy in Zuihou." Batistuta doesn't seem to care about Uruguay's victory, "Francescoli officially announced his retirement from the Uruguayan national team after this tournament, and the remaining players alone are not enough to become a first-class team. ”

In fact, although the Uruguayan national team later had first-class stars such as Fonseca, Poyet, and Montero, and later stars such as Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez, and Edinson Cavani, but in general, the Uruguayan national team has never had a "marshal" who can command the whole army after Francescoli left.

Truth be told, Argentina, who had won the Copa America twice in a row, was extremely tragic in this tournament, after defeating Bolivia and Chile successively, Passarella's blue and white team lost to the United States in a group stage 3-0 defeat in Zuihou, thus losing the title of group leader, and had to meet Brazil in the quarterfinals early.

In this quarter-final, just a minute into the game, the unexpected departure of Brazilian goalkeeper Tafarel gave Balbo a dream start for Argentina, and then a goal from "The Beast" Edmundo helped Brazil equalize, and then Batistuta's long-range shot made Tafarel get away again, Argentina took the lead again, and Brazil was cornered.

In the 80th minute of the game, the Brazilian midfielder composed of Juninho, Leonardo, Savio and others sent a wonderful pass, and the Brazilian striker Turio unloaded the ball with his left hand in the Argentine team's penalty area and hit the door of Argentina, dragging the Brazilian team back from the death line, and the football field once again staged Maradona's "hand of God", but this time the victim was the Argentine.

After a 120-minute draw, the two teams had to decide on penalties, and Zuihou Brazil were lucky to beat arch-rivals Argentina 4-2 in the penalty shoot-out to advance to the semi-finals.

The most tragic thing about this Copa America is not the Argentines, after all, they have profited from the "Hand of God" twice (once against England in the Shijie Cup in Mexico in '86 and the former Soviet Union in the Shijie Cup in '90), and this time they were eliminated by handball, which can only be said to be retribution and retribution, and there is nothing to complain about.

The most tragic thing is that the striker Turio, who represented Brazil in the Copa America this time, this Brazilian striker, known as the second "Hand of God", eliminated the opponent in the quarterfinals with his old rival Argentina by perfectly replicating Maradona's "Hand of God".

Turio, who had a second "Hand of God", just like Maradona back then, became famous. However, it is very different from Maradona's treatment that has since been praised by the Argentine media as "God's darling". The hapless Turio is more seen by Brazilian fans as a "disgrace" to the football kingdom.

Although Zagallo was able to withstand the pressure and continue to use Turio in the Copa America, the stigma of "handball" and the label of "sinner" were firmly on Turio when the striker missed the crucial penalty in the final.

As a result, the Brazilian national team announced that it would be removed, and in the Botafogo club, Turio, who was under great psychological pressure, gradually lost his main position.

After all, in Brazil, which is known as the kingdom of football, there are countless football clubs, and football stadiums are everywhere. The largest of these is the port city of Rio de Janeiro, which has more than 140,000 football stadiums and four teams from the Brazilian Liga - Flamengo, Botafogo, Vasco da Gama and Flominense.

And Brazil has always been famous for producing excellent offensive players, even without Turio, Brazil still has Romario, Bebeto, Rivaldo and other excellent strikers, not bad at all.

Historically, Turio, who shone in the Copa America, disappeared from Brazilian football and has since sunk......

But this is no longer the case, in the era of the early emergence of the Boseman Act, Turio, who has performed well in both the Copa America and the Brazilian league, has been criticized in Brazil, but many European clubs have offered him to join.

But Zhuang Mingge doesn't have much interest in him now, if he fails to bring in Ronaldo while sending Montella away, maybe Zhuang Mingge will consider buying Turio to Fiorentina as a substitute, but now Fiorentina's five strikers have to rotate, and buying strikers is purely asking for trouble......

The current Fiorentina still lacks a midfielder who can attack and defend well to rotate with Effenberg, after all, Costa's offensive and organizational talents are incomparable, and he is still a little worse than Effenberg in defense.
