The news of Kroos joining Fiorentina didn't make too many waves in the media. After all, after the beginning of the Boseman era, almost all the big clubs brought back a lot of so-called "talented players" from all over the world every year. So, in the eyes of people, this little guy named Tony Cross is just one of them, and there is nothing to care about at all.
Don't look at Fiorentina's attention to this German youngster now, maybe in just two years, the young man named Kroos will be eliminated due to fierce competition within the team or not making the expected progress, so that he will completely stay out of people's eyes and end his career in an unknown small club. After all, in the football world, there are countless examples of injuries to Zhongyong.
For example, Lampty, who was praised by Pele back then, the Ghanaian striker has never been able to prove his ability in the four major leagues, and has been reduced to playing in Serie B just after the year of the weak championship, and he can't see the shadow of the talented striker who shined in the 91 World Youth Championship back then.
Of all the top clubs, only Bayern Munich has shown a significant degree of concern about Fiorentina's signing. After all, as the well-deserved hegemon of German football, Bayern still attaches great importance to their backyard. For example, this time, Bayern actually noticed Kroos for a long time, and the reason why they did not choose to start immediately was just to take a closer look to see if Kroos's potential and talent met their expectations.
Although Kroos led the Rostock youth team to the runner-up of the German Under-17 Youth Championship in the season just ended, and with Hoeness's decades of hard work, Bayern has also saved a pretty solid foundation, but for this Bundesliga team that has always lived within its means, any reinforcements must be cautious and try to avoid wasting money.
It is precisely because of Bayern's habit of thinking carefully about everything before making a move that Fiorentina had the opportunity to sign Kroos first. Otherwise, with Bayern's prestige and attraction in Germany, even if Fiorentina makes a move, I am afraid it will be difficult to snatch Kroos from the other side.
Not to mention Bayern Munich, who was frustrated that Kroos was poached by Fiorentina first, let's move on to Fiorentina's side. After successfully bringing Kroos from Rostock to Fiorentina, Fiorentina's scouting department is back to working as normal and doesn't have to go back in the middle of nowhere to find a young player they've never heard of, who they don't even know where to play other than a name.
In contrast, these staff members are more willing to carry out tasks that seem more normal, such as traveling around the world to identify promising stocks that have not yet made a name for themselves, or scouting which clubs are focusing on their targets.
However, Zhuang Mingge, as the leader of Florence, does not know the resentment of these scouts under him, or even if he knows, he will not care about this little thing. After all, there are some things that only he, a time-traveler who knows the future, can see that others only need to obey the command at this time.
"Jose, do you have any thoughts on the club's transfer moves this summer?" In the chairman's office at Fiorentina's headquarters, Zhuang Mingge was asking Mourinho's opinion, "If you have a player you want to bring in, just mention it to me." After all, the first team is not full yet, and the club has enough transfer funds to support your operation. ”
Despite only one Serie A trophy in the 04-05 season, Fiorentina did not go on a recruitment spree this summer, opting instead to tackle the problem of bench depth by digging inside, only bringing in Heinze at left wing-back to make up for the loss caused by Carlos' departure. Purple Lily's low-key performance not only contrasts sharply with clubs such as Lazio and Real Madrid, which are brandishing checkbooks, but also attracts a lot of attention.
For this kind of low-key Fiorentina has shown in the transfer market, people from all walks of life can be said to have different opinions. Some believe that this reflects Fiorentina's confidence in their own academy ability, and that the academy system and the young talents produced by the second team are enough to take on these responsibilities. Of course, there are also those who believe that Fiorentina has lost the aggressive spirit of the past, and like most teams, they have begun to reduce their investment in the transfer market in order to maintain the club's financial balance, and their competitiveness has not dropped by a little bit compared to before.
While Zhuang Mingge doesn't care what outsiders think of Fiorentina's moves in the summer transfer market, he has to consider the feelings of manager Jose Mourinho. After all, Jose Mourinho is the one to lead the team, and it wouldn't be a good thing for Fiorentina if he thinks the club's summer signings are not up to par.
"Honestly, I think it's enough for the team to keep it in this configuration." Regarding Zhuang Mingge's inquiry, Mourinho naturally told the truth, "Although the team is not yet full, and the bench depth in the midfield is still somewhat insufficient, but after the run-in of the past year, Jorgensen has gradually adapted to his new role, and he can also play a cameo role in the midfield if necessary, and there is no need to buy any big-name players." ”
Different from his previous life, Mourinho in this life has gone from assistant coach step by step to the position of Fiorentina coach, and at the same time was able to lead the team to win the league championship last season when people were not optimistic, and also reached the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, plus these "own people" who were promoted from the second team, so at this time he has established a fairly high prestige in the team, and naturally does not want to get any big stars, thus destroying the team's current good chemistry.
And just like that, as time went on, the Fiorentina players returned from vacation and began their pre-season training camp under Jose Mourinho and the coaching staff. Everyone is hoping that this time the team can build on last season's example and bring back to Fiorentina the Champions League and the league, two of the most important trophies!
