PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

The sale of Ronaldo to Real Madrid for 51 million euros is Fiorentina's last player transfer this summer, and it also announces that the forward line that Fiorentina created in the mid-to-late nineties of the last century has finally begun to disintegrate!

After all, unlike Shevchenko, who only spent three seasons in Florence, most of which had to compete with Ljungberg and others, and spent more than half of the season recovering from injuries, Ronaldo, Vieri, and Inzaghi have worked together in the Purple Lily for seven years, and their tacit understanding is far from being comparable to Shevchenko's "outsider", and their combination has become a lingering nightmare for all teams that have encountered Fiorentina - it is no wonder that with Ronaldo's extremely comprehensive ability, Vieri's striking power and Inzaghi's cunning and shrewdness mean that Fiorentina, with these three top strikers, will find effective countermeasures to win game after victory, no matter what team they come up against.

That's why when Ronaldo announced his departure from Fiorentina and joined Real Madrid, almost all of the team's managers breathed a sigh of relief – thankfully, they finally didn't have to struggle to find a way to deal with Fiorentina's powerful and flexible forward line.

Although the strength of Vieri and Inzaghi is also a headache, in the eyes of most coaches, Vieri and Inzaghi's functions are relatively much more single, and Fiorentina without Ronaldo will inevitably have many fewer changes in the attacking routine, so when defending the Purple Lily's attack, these teams can naturally be more targeted.

As for the rest of Fiorentina's forward line, such as Di Natale, Vincent and Cristiano Ronaldo, they were all "wisely" ignored by these managers. In the eyes of these self-proclaimed clever managers, Fiorentina's starting striker for the new season must be a combination of Vieri and Inzaghi, and compared to these two striking red flowers, Di Natale and Vincent, who are inferior to them in terms of fame and strength, are just some inconsequential green leaves.

However, in the following season, Di Natale and others used practical actions to teach the managers who looked down on them a good lesson, so that these dog-eyed guys realized that any player who can be favored by Fiorentina and play in the first team is not an existence to be underestimated!

Not long after the alien announced his move to Real Madrid, Fiorentina made a public announcement on their official website. After careful field visits and detailed research, the Purple Lily once again chose to poach from his younger brother Vicenza, and Argentine striker Diego Milito, who scored 15 goals in Serie A last season, has become another gain for Fiorentina in the transfer market this summer!

Some people may ask, why not choose the more famous German rookie Klose, or the Ivory Coast center Didier Drogba, who is as physical as Vieri, and choose Diego Milito, who has average physical fitness and does not see much potential to become a top striker.

The main reason why Zhuang Mingge made such a decision is that Klose, one of the candidates, does not want to leave Kaiserslautern at this time, and he hopes to lead the German "Red Devils" out of the predicament with his own strength, as Bremer and other predecessors did, instead of abandoning the club when it is in a difficult situation. At this time, although Kaiserslautern suffered serious economic difficulties due to the bankruptcy of the Kilsch Group, he was able to hold on for a period of time, and was far from being reduced to the point of relying on reselling the main players to make a living. Perhaps, in the eyes of the current Kaiserslautern management, with Klose as a World Cup bronze boot winner, the team may have the opportunity to storm the European arena and alleviate the current predicament through the large bonuses obtained in European competitions.

Therefore, in the face of the attack launched by Fiorentina, Klose himself and Kaiserslautern club firmly chose to refuse, and did not give Antonioni to go to Germany a little room for maneuver.

As for the other candidate, Didier Drogba, the main reason for his exclusion was because of his status as an Ivory Coast international. As we all know, in the eyes of the vast majority of European clubs, the Africa Cup of Nations can be said to be an extremely cheating competition. Because the tournament is usually held in the winter, just after the end of the winter break and the teams are starting to sprint towards their season goals, clubs with African internationals as their main players have to go through this every two years and have to face the embarrassment of not being able to compete at their best.

And in the extremely fierce competition in Serie A, where a little carelessness may capsize in the gutter, it is an extremely fatal thing to let a main player or main rotation be absent for a long time because of an inconsequential Africa Cup of Nations, and after returning to the team, it will not be able to provide the necessary combat strength for the team due to climate and major competition syndrome!

And, with Diego Milito still having Italian nationality, the Argentine centre-forward will not occupy Fiorentina's precious non-European spot, which is one of the reasons why Zhuang Mingge chose him - for the only one non-European spot left (Sun Jihai, Zivo, Lucio and Deco already occupy four of them), Zhuang Mingge must be very cautious when using it.

Crucially, Milito, unlike Drogba, doesn't need to run midway through the season to play in any cheating national team game. With Argentina's abundance of talent in attack, a striker like Milito, who doesn't have much star flavor and hasn't made many outstanding achievements, can't get into Bielsa's eyes at all. In this case, Fiorentina naturally do not have to worry about being unavailable as soon as the national team break arrives, as they did in the previous two years.

Therefore, after a long hesitation, Zhuang Mingge finally gave up on Drogba and chose Diego Milito in favor of Diego Milito, who brought him to Fiorentina for $6 million.

The reason why Milito's value is so cheap is mainly because in the eyes of most people, his fifteen league goals are mainly stained with the light of strong teammates such as Di Natale and Ballack, and it does not mean that he really has such quality. And this has largely depressed Milito's transfer value, allowing Zhuang Mingge to pick up a bargain.

Because Vicenza sent Fiorentina three main players in the summer, Ballack, Di Natale and Diego Milito, many club managers who also fancied these players but failed to do so complained that Vicenza had become Fiorentina's reserve talent base and that they could not compete with them on a level playing field.

Therefore, in an interview with the media, these team managers, who claim to be "messengers of justice", said that the Italian Football Federation should severely punish Fiorentina's unfair competition and return Italian football to a fair and just atmosphere!
