In the current football circle, if you ask Zhuang Mingge which one he admires the most, he may not be able to answer; But if you ask Zhuang Mingge who he least wants to see, then Juventus's Mo Lao Fox will definitely be at the top of the list.

That's right, it was Luciano Moggie, the general manager of Juventus FC, who stopped Zhuang Mingge in the casino.

"I say, Manager Moji, what do you mean by that?" Zhuang Mingge looked at the old fox in front of him with unkind eyes, you must know that although he and Mo Ji have met many times, but what is the relationship between the two, a discerning person can know at a glance, in this kind of public occasion, a person who has little to do with you suddenly stops you, no matter what you say, it will cause some unpleasant associations.

"Ah, Chairman Corleone, I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend." Mo Ji just saw Zhuang Mingge's "acquaintance" and remembered that this person seems to have a good relationship with the Monaco club, maybe this time he has to rely on this compatriot's liliang when dealing with Monaco.

Therefore, Mo Lao Fox, who had no discipline at all, made a move to stop Zhuang Mingge, who was about to leave, from Mo Ji's own point of view, blocking Zhuang Mingge now is the most haode choice, God knows if he will be told that he has returned to Florence by contacting Zhuang Mingge in the future......

However, in terms of timing, Moji really didn't choose well, because it was not Zhuang Mingge who was here, but also a little Groz.

As the saying goes, if you get in the way of someone else's relationship, you will be kicked to death by a horse.

Although the relationship between Little Groz and Zhuang Mingge is still above the level of friendship and less than lovers, this does not prevent Little Groz from glaring at this "uninvited guest" with a murderous gaze: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Moji?" It's been a long time, what wind brought you to Monaco? ”

"Miss Rebecca!" Moji "chuckled" in his heart, thinking badly, just paying attention to the acquaintance in front of him, but he didn't expect that he had missed a bigger card, "I'm very sorry, my eyes are not very good and I only saw Mr. Corleone, I'm really embarrassed, please forgive me." ”

Seeing that Moji lowered his posture to himself like this, little Groz couldn't express any dissatisfaction anymore, and stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person: "Mr. Moji, you stopped us, is there something wrong?" ”

Under the gaze of Grosz Jr., Moggie had no choice but to give up his original plan to make a tirade, and concisely explained the purpose of his visit to Monaco this time.

After listening to the old fox's words, Zhuang Mingge knew that Moji appeared in Monaco this time, not only to participate in the draw ceremony of the Cup Winners' Cup held by UEFA, but more importantly, to persuade Monaco to sell some players to Juventus. After all, after the advent of the Bosman era, Monaco's players no longer occupy the foreign aid quota, plus the geographical belonging to France (Monaco even entrusts its national defense to France, a full subject country), so for Juventus, which has the French captain and vice-captain, Monaco is a very attractive place.

In addition, under the fan of Zhuang Mingge's little butterfly, Monaco won the Ligue 1 championship in the 94-95 season last season over Nantes (historically, Nantes won the Ligue 1 championship in this season). Barthez, Thuram, Candela, Makellele, Zidane, Henry, Trezeguet...... A group of young players burst out with surprising energy under Wenger's tutelage, which also made Mo Lao Fox drool, but due to the limitation of foreign aid places, he had to give up for the time being.

Later, the sudden appearance of the Bosman Act was a very good opportunity, but when Moggie was about to make a move on Monaco, he was surprised to find that the players of this team had already completed the contract extension! And all of them are long-term contracts without exception!

It has to be said that Wenger's attitude towards young players is still quite serious, much stronger than Ajax. Even before the Bosman era, he demanded that Monaco sign a long-term contract with all of its first-team players, and that the salaries be quite reasonable, in keeping with the status of those players.

Monaco is a poor team, and it can't normally support such a huge wage bill, but it doesn't fulfill the domestic tax rate, but the low local Monaco tax rate, which makes it all possible.

Don't underestimate the tax rate, the level of the tax rate determines the club's expenses to a large extent, for example, a star with an annual salary of 10 million before tax, if it is in a Serie A team, then the club will have to pay 5 million in taxes, and the player will get 5 million salary; The same $10 million La Liga team only needs to pay 3.5 million in taxes, 6.5 million in the player's ownership, so in comparison, in the case of similar team conditions, the player will of course choose a club that is more beneficial to him, and vice versa, the lower the tax rate, the lower the tax rate means that his side can sign the player with less money under the same treatment.

Therefore, in the face of the prepared and fearless Monaco, Moggi has to honestly go through the formal channels to make an offer to the Monaco club, and the positions he wants to introduce are naturally the two biggest weaknesses of Juventus at present - defenders and goalkeepers. In the Monaco club, it refers to Thuram and Barthez.

With Barthez and Thuram's contracts still years away, Moggi, who is eager to strengthen Juventus, cannot afford to play a long-term game. Monaco is a big deal, but Juventus can't afford to delay, you must know that after Ferrara was robbed by Fiorentina in advance, the Bianconeri's backline has not been improved......

Coupled with Peruzzi's disadvantage in the face of high-altitude balls, the old fox made up his mind to introduce a better goalkeeper, Peruzzi is good, but the goalkeeper with the same obvious advantages and disadvantages is indeed not suitable for the old lady This kind of team that emphasizes stability, Peruzzi left Juventus for this reason in history, but at that time, due to the existence of Ferrara, this hidden danger did not completely break out until the 98-99 season.

And in this shijie, Peruzzi's series of poor performances against Fiorentina have already made Moggi determined to bring in a more secure goalkeeper.

That's why Moggi came to Monaco in the name of the European Cup Winners' Cup draw, otherwise it would have been Juventus' head coach Lippi who came here this time.

"How, Chairman Corleone? I heard that you have a good relationship with Monaco coach Arsene Wenger, and for the sake of you and I being fellow countrymen, just help me with this and ask him to sell me two players...... Of course, I won't pay a penny less for the transfer fee. If it happens this time, I guarantee that Juventus will be friendly to Fiorentina in the future. ”

"Hehe, I'll do my best, Manager Moji. I'll talk to Arsène [Arsene Wenger], but I can't guarantee how it will work. Zhuang Mingge smiled and responded to Moggie's request, thinking to himself: Will your Juventus be friendly to Fiorentina, which is also a Serie A team? Are you kidding?!

Do you want me to say nice things for you? When I turned around, I told Wenger that Juventus is rich and tight, and give me a stab at it!
