The popularity of the Shijie Cup has not completely passed, and all Shijie fans are still reminiscing about the bits and pieces that the American summer has brought them.

But the managers of Serie A clubs have no time to reminisce about those classic scenes at this time, because it is already July, the door to the European transfer market has been opened, and all the general managers who want to strengthen the team have thrown themselves into this market without hesitation.

Fiorentina may be the only exception, because most of their transfer work has been reported to the Italian Football Federation before the arrival of July 1 and all the relevant formalities have been completed, and the Fiorentina have already taken the lead in achieving their goals on the first day of the transfer market, and now they are just unscrupulously watching the crowd of onlookers.

Because Berlusconi, who had just been elected prime minister of Italy, was mired in a bribery scandal at this time, he had no time to take care of his AC Milan club. Therefore, since Lao Bei took over, Milan, which has been spending a lot of money on reinforcements, has rarely tightened its pockets this summer, just buying striker Di Canio, who played well in Napoli (on loan) last season, from Juventus, and buying back the midfield superstar Ruud Gullit, who transferred to Sampdoria last season, to replace Lentini, who suffered a serious car accident last season (Lentini's car accident, which can be said to be a household name in Italy) and Van Basten, who is still on the waiver card.

After Moggi became general manager, Juventus changed the previous style of large-scale reinforcements and began to make careful calculations. They first poached manager Marcelo, who led Napoli to sixth place in the league last season? Lippi then signed Fiorentina's two big defenders - Pesoto and Iuliano, although Moggi was put on the side by Zhuang Mingge and failed to bring Ferrara to the Alp Stadium, but Portuguese midfielder Paulo? Sousa and French star Didier? The arrival of Didier Deschamps gave Juventus fans a glimpse of what a super midfield could take shape.

As last season's third runner-up, Sampdoria's new president Mantovani Jr. seemed to think that the team's current staffing did not fit his "genius" idea, and sold Viljoward to Fiorentina of Zhuang Mingge, while also letting go of last season's two foreign players Ruud Gullit and Pratt, although he later bought Yugoslav central defender Mihajlovic from Roma, but then he made another deal that stunned many: with the No. 1 goalkeeper of the Italian national team in this Shijie Cup, Pagliuca, who was at the peak of his career, was exchanged for the old and dizzy Zenga.

Since Cragnotti was still busy integrating the resources of the Chirio Group at this time, Lazio, who had no spare money at hand, just hired the Czech Zeman, who has led the small club Foggia in recent years, to replace the legendary Italian goalkeeper Dino? Zoff was the team's head coach, and when Zeman arrived at Lazio, he poached young centre-back Adani (who later played for Fiorentina and Inter Milan) from Modena in the second division as a replacement, as well as his subordinate under Foggia, Argentine defender Chamot. The Czechs are full of ambition and ready to make a splash in Lazio.

Defending Cup Winners' Cup defeat Parma, with the financial backing of dairy giant Parmalat, continue to seek opportunities to strengthen in the transfer market. They bought veteran Italian international Mousi, one of the representatives of Portugal's golden generation, Fernando? Couto, who also moved to Parma from Porto, also brought in Brazilian national team goalkeeper Tafarel to bolster the backline.

Old Tanzi, who is still suspected of the team's lack of strength, continues to poach people everywhere and can't stand Parma's "offensive", Juventus will star midfielder Dino? Baggio was sent to Tanzi, and in order to fill the void left by the departure of leading scorer Meli, the elder Tanzi poached their leading scorer Blanca (who is now the general manager of Inter Milan) from relegated Udinese.

Inter Milan, who were almost relegated from Serie A last season, have not yet ushered in the generous "big boss", and Pellegrini, who is ready to sell his shares to the Moratti family, will not continue to inject funds into the team, so throughout the summer, Inter Milan's move was only to recall the young striker Del Vecchio, who was on loan at Udinese.

Generally speaking, the Italian transfer market in 1994 has seen a certain decline as a whole, and the emergence of this situation is inseparable from the Italian economic situation.

Since 94, Italy's domestic economy has begun to show signs of downturn, so many team owners have begun to tighten their pockets, without the financial support of the backstage boss, coupled with the lack of income obtained through normal operations (especially the TV broadcast fee), many small teams have lost the courage of the early 90s since then, and began to live on their own one-acre and three-point land, and the Serie A league also began to slowly slide from the throne of Shijie First League from this time......

It's too far to say that the topic comes back to the transfer market, although there are no big moves on the Italian side except for Parma, but this does not mean that other countries will also learn from Serie A, especially Real Madrid and Barcelona, which have a huge number of members.

In Barcelona, which suffered a heavy defeat in the Champions League final, the differences between coach Cruyff and president Nunez are already well known, so in terms of bringing in players, the Dutchman, who once held the transfer power, has been constrained by the management. Laudrup moved to rivals Real Madrid, and was replaced by Romanian national team captain Hagi.

Real Madrid, who succeeded in poaching Laudrup from Barcelona, is obviously not satisfied, and the former Real Madrid star, who was the head coach of Tenerife last season, Baldano moved to Madrid, and he also brought his favorite player, Argentine midfielder Fernando? Redondo, at the same time, Real Madrid also brought in young homegrown midfielder Amavisca.

This year is the Zuihou year of Real Madrid President Mendoza's tenure, and he has no intention of continuing to run for the presidency after witnessing his sworn rival Barcelona complete four consecutive league titles, so he can be regarded as a ruin this summer, repeatedly making big sacrifices, and looking menacing.

Although the two-year-old English Premier League is very prosperous in the British Isles, there are still few foreign players willing to go there to play.

Due to the poor performance of the German national team in the Shijie Cup in the United States, as well as the lack of performance of German teams in Europe in recent years, the German Football Association has called on its players to return to play in China and revive the Bundesliga in the trough.

It has to be said that the German players of this period were really a group of extremely obedient team commanders, and many of them who played for overseas giants overcame many obstacles and returned to their home countries: Andres? Muller to Dortmund, Rudy? Worrall returns to Bayer Leverkusen and Hasler joins Karlsruhe...... With the exception of Klinsmann, who had confirmed his move to Tottenham in the Premier League before the Shijie Cup, Effenberg, who was reluctant to return to China due to the "middle finger incident", and Koller, who was "stranded" at Juventus, almost all well-known German stars have returned to the Bundesliga.

However, the affairs of the European transfer market have little to do with Fiorentina now, after all, Fiorentina's recruitment goals for this summer have been completed, and now Zhuang Mingge has to care about how many dollars the team can "circle" from the negotiations with sponsors this year.
