Chapter 500: Prodi's Action (Part I)

Just when Fiorentina was busy building a huge satellite club system, the time had quietly come to the special day of July 1, 1997.

Because, the arrival of July 1 means that the door to Italy's summer transfer is officially opened!

The Brazilian is very satisfied with his transfer, believing that he can get more playing time when he comes to Purple Lily than he did in Madrid, and if he can show his tacit understanding with Ronaldo and Robert Carlos, the two main players of the national team, maybe he can also attract the attention of national team coach Zagallo, so as to get a ticket to the World Cup in France.

Yuri Djokaeau, the first non-Italian player brought in after Zhuang Mingge became president, left the Renaissance capital where he lived for three and a half years and went to Milan, the capital of fashion; He was joined by veterans Virjovod and Inzaghi Jr. (the first player to leave after the end of the 96-97 season in the Premier League, the former went to last season's dark horse Vicenza to play his recklessness) and the latter joined Atletico Madrid.

Inter Milan, who had been in the transfer market for a few years ago, disappeared after bringing in Djokaeff from Fiorentina. While they are still looking for players to improve their strength, neither Diego Simeone nor Recoba, whom Moratti is chasing, are yet to enter the substantive stages of negotiations. Therefore, when the transfer door opened, Inter Milan actually only brought in one player, Djokaeff, which disappointed many fans who expected Inter Milan to stage a transfer storm in Italy.

Juventus also did not make much moves in the transfer market, and the introduction of Otero for $10 million was already a big deal for Moggi. However, in order to fight against Fiorentina, who are becoming more and more dominant in the league, Mo Lao Fox does not care about the so-called financial balance, and defeating Fiorentina's dominance in Serie A is the focus of his current work.

AC Milan's first move after the transfer door opened was not to bring in reinforcements, but to clean up players that new manager Ranieri did not think needed, Bogarde and Reziger were both sent to Barcelona, Bromqvist was loaned to Parma, and the aging Marco Simeone and ElaΓ±o also left the Rossoneri today.

The Roma duo are also frequent, Lazio bought Boksic and Yugoslav midfielder Jugovic from Juventus, sent away the main scorer and captain of the team, Signoli, Argentine defender Almeida and local defender Pancaro The arrival of the Blue Eagles has made the Blue Eagles more and more powerful; As for its rival Roma, although there are not many big spenders, most of the players introduced are powerful people who have played in Serie A for many years, and the overall strength has naturally improved.

Since the big money owner Parmalat company can no longer afford to burn a lot of money, so Parma does not move much, Francesca can only find some leftovers that other teams do not want and bargains from relegation teams to strengthen the team, Maniello, Filicano, Padalino and other stars came to Parma in this situation.

While the Serie A Seven Sisters' player deals are eye-catching, on this day, the Serie A transfer market is dominated by Vicenza, who have been working hard to strengthen their squad throughout June, and the small club that knocked out Fiorentina in last season's Coppa Italia has drawn the attention of almost all fans to it with a string of transfers.

The loan of young centre-forward Luca Toney from Fiorentina and the talented Andrea Pirlo are just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, Guidolin used the transfer fee obtained from the sale of Otero in exchange for a large number of elite soldiers.

Ukrainian winger Cancherski transferred from Everton, Swedish striker Larsson came to the aid of the Netherlands, two young talents of Atalanta, Mofeo and C. Lucarelli also fell into Guidolin's team, plus the addition of veteran Viljovod, teenager Otto, Czech international Repka and others, the overall strength of Vicenza has been greatly improved.

I believe that after the run-in of this lineup is completed, Vicenza in the new season will have an excellent performance on all fronts.

The sheer number of transfer deals completed on the first day of the summer transfer door has excited many fans and further stimulated the arms race between Serie A teams, who have entered the transfer market in search of players to strengthen their squads.

However, none of this has much to do with Fiorentina, who have basically completed their transfer goals.

"Tsk, it's really different to have money in your pocket." Sitting on the train to Rome, Zhuang Mingge handed the newspaper in his hand to Karin, which was densely packed with a lot of player transfer news, "Don't these guys know to save some money to improve their hardware facilities?" Look at how rotten their home stadium has become! ”

"There's no way around it, whoever doesn't let the ownership of the stadium go to the club, and the revenue from the stadium has to be taken by the city government, so those people are naturally not interested in spending money on it." Karin flipped through the newspaper and said, "Tony, I think you'd better take care of yourself first." Tell me, what exactly did Prime Minister Prodi invite you to Rome to meet and discuss? ”

"I think it's probably because the issues we talked about when I met him at the beginning of the year have come to fruition." Zhuang Mingge shrugged his shoulders, saying that the purpose of his trip to Rome was only speculation, "Other than that, I can't think of anything else that I can do with this prime minister." ”

"If Prodi really convinces Parliament and succeeds in changing the law, it will be good news for all Serie A clubs." Of course, Karin knew what Zhuang Mingge was talking about, but in order to prevent the wall from having ears, of course she couldn't directly pick out the words on the train, "I didn't expect him to be really willing to do this." ”

"Although Prodi is a brilliant economist, as the prime minister of Italy, he is also a politician, and as a politician, he must of course think about his own political future." Zhuang Mingge explained, "Amending this legal provision, which is no longer suitable for social development, can not only allow the government to get rid of a big burden, but also exchange it for the support of the big families behind the club, what reason does Prodi have not to do this?" ”

"Well, that seems to be the case......"

In this way, in the small talk between Zhuang Mingge and Karin, the train that the two took arrived at the destination of this trip - Rome.
