Chapter 1050: Summer Storm (6)
PS1: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~
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.
Although any of these three clubs look very good, after talking with Zhuang Mingge, Ballack vaguely feels that joining Fiorentina, which currently seems to be the weakest, is the best choice for him!
Some people may have doubts about this, Inter Milan and Real Madrid are also first-class in Europe, and last season's record even surpassed Fiorentina, which was in the throes of renewal, and won the Serie A championship and the European Champions Cup respectively, which is obviously stronger than Fiorentina in terms of strength; And their current midfield configuration is not perfect, if Ballack chooses to join these two teams, that absolute main position will definitely not be able to run, why do you think that Fiorentina, who cannot give him this guarantee, is more suitable for him?
The reason is simple, that is, in Ballack's view, although Inter Milan was the Serie A champion last season and Real Madrid won the European Champions Cup, the two clubs also have the problem of aging squads. And Fiorentina, which has experienced a whole season of competition, although the four major were empty last season, the pace of renewal has actually been at the forefront of all teams!
As for Inter Milan, its main striker Batistuta is already old at this time. Although last season, the Argentine god of war was full of spirit, won the Serie A Golden Boot with Trezeguet and Hubnel, and scored a hat trick in the final round to help the Nerazzurri get Lazio, and was the number one contributor to Inter Milan's league championship, but in the subsequent World Cup, the old age and weakness of the God of War in the face of defenders on the field can be seen by everyone, and the decline in form is a sure thing; In addition, Di Biagio in midfield, Materazzi, Zanetti and Toldo in the backline are all veterans in their thirties, and it is also unknown how long they will be in form.
As for the new Champions League winner Real Madrid, not to mention, Zidane and Figo, the two superstars and the main left-back Zigger, are now over 30, as they get older, as the absolute main force they will only get worse and worse in terms of physical fitness and stability; At centre-back, captain Hierro is a 34-year-old veteran, while several of his partners, Elgra, Karanka and Campo are also showing signs of ageing, and the decline in form is almost expected.
Coupled with Florentino's beautiful "Zidane + Pavon" policy at this time, Ballack dispelled the idea of joining this new European championship team - the backline is dominated by club academy players, Lafayette, do you think the Castilla academy is known for producing top defenders?
On the Fiorentina side, although after Effenberg and Redondo grew old, the Purple Lilies lost the league championship in the final round and went out early in the Champions Cup, but they also honed the new core of Deco and Pirlo. Pirlo and Deco, who had to deal with three fronts for the first time, accumulated a lot of experience in the past year, and found a lot of valuable lessons from it, and summed up a set of combat methods that suit them. And these are things that they were hard to realise when they were substitutes for Effenberg and Redondo.
Therefore, in Ballack's view, if they don't replenish the new blood, Inter Milan and Real Madrid can only take advantage of the fact that the core players have not aged for a while, and it is obviously unrealistic to compete with Fiorentina, who has basically completed the replacement of the old and the new at the core level, in the next few years.
Moreover, Ballack believes that Zhuang Mingge has a saying that makes sense, that is, in today's European football, if a team wants to compete for the title on multiple fronts at the same time, then it must have strong enough teammates. A team like Real Madrid and Inter Milan, where the level gap between the main players and the substitutes is too large, and it is easy to drop the chain once the main team suffers an injury, if Ballack goes, he must not be used as a model worker by Bosque and Cooper?
Although Ballack is more important about his playing time, he is not so frustrated as to compete with the famous ironmen like Nedved, and too many games can shorten a player's professional life, as Owen is the best example.
The day passed quickly, and when Zhuang Mingge was flipping through the latest work progress reported by the Fiorentina transfer department in his hotel room, the mobile phone next to him suddenly rang: "This is Antonio Corleone, who are you?" ”
"Hello, Chairman Corleone, it's me, Michael Barak." On the other end of the phone, after a night of deliberation, Balak looked at the contract in his hand that had signed his name, and said in a relaxed tone, "I have decided, from today onwards, I will be a member of Florence!" That way, when I see you again in the future, I should call you boss. ”
"Haha, Michael, while you do have to call me boss in public, you might as well call me Antonio in private." Zhuang Mingge said with a hearty smile on the phone, he couldn't wait to see Ballack, Pirlo and Deco, a first-class midfielder competing on the same stage, "I can assure you that joining Fiorentina is definitely the wisest decision you have made in your life!" ”
"Antonio, I also hope that during my time at Fiorentina, I can add more trophies to Fiorentina's room of honour." After saying these words of loyalty, Barak said goodbye to Zhuang Mingge, and then hung up the phone. Having defined his future, all the German has to do is enjoy his hard-earned holiday and bring his good form at the World Cup in Korea and Japan to Fiorentina and impress his new coach and team-mates.
As for the personal treatment, Ballack did not care too much, after confirming with his agent that the first draft of the contract left by Zhuang Mingge had no loopholes or pitfalls, and he was also very satisfied with the annual salary of three million US dollars given by Fiorentina, the German signed his name on the contract that night!
In this way, in this battle for Ballack, which attracted the attention of fans all over the world, Fiorentina managed to defeat rivals such as Real Madrid and Inter Milan to achieve the final victory!
