Chapter 67: Italian Super Cup
The news that Fiorentina made a lot of money at this tender spread throughout Italy overnight, especially after Qatar Airways won the shirt chest advertisement for a whopping $50 million in two years, which shook the entire European football world.
These old antiques who are also engaged in football were surprised to find: it turns out that football can also be played like this? We lost a lot of money before!
However, what makes these people feel even more frustrating is that it is precisely because of their previous conservatism and lack of progress that the teams and sponsors under their control have signed a fairly long advertising contract, and it will not be possible to change to a new contract until 96 years at the earliest......
Not to mention the frustration of those old shareholders, the time has entered August, and the new Serie A season will kick off in four weeks. The preparation for the new season of Fiorentina has entered the stage of actual combat training - next, Fiorentina will play a series of warm-up matches at home with Roma, Parma, Lazio and other strong teams in Serie A, and the team has become more and more aware of the approach of the new season.
The more than $300 million earned by Zhuang Mingge in the Shijie Cup in the United States was gradually remitted to each of their accounts in a legal way through their respective family businesses under the command of Little Groz and others.
Therefore, even if Zhuang Mingge's net worth is now more than 100 million, the cash he can use normally is only the $50 million he earned before, and the gambling money in Southeast Asia is still traveling around the world in the Groz family's Southern Capital Bank......
Fiorentina, on the other hand, had a good run of warm-up matches in August.
On 7 August, Fiorentina beat Parma 2-1;
On August 14, Roma scored with Aldair's header and drew 2-2 with Fiorentina;
On 21 August, Lazio led by attacking madman Zeman played a passionate warm-up match against Fiorentina Juniors at the Stadio Frachi, scoring a total of nine goals in 90 minutes! In the end, it was defeated 4-5.
From these three warm-up games, it can be seen that Fiorentina's backline still has some coordination problems, especially in the central defenders, Ferrara and Filicano still need some time to run in;
Fiorentina have four titles to play for this season: Serie A, Coppa Italia, Italian Super Cup, and European Cup Winners' Cup.
Among them, on August 28th, that is, tomorrow, the first game of the championship - the Italian Super Cup, is about to start, and the opponent is the king of today's European football, AC Milan club!
Although Milan did not make any major moves in the transfer market this summer, they only brought in striker Di Canio, who had an excellent performance at Napoli last season, and welcomed back the meritorious player of the "Three Musketeers" period, Luther Gullit. But no team dares to underestimate Milan because they have Baresi! They have Maldini!! They have Capello!!
……
The next day, Zhuang Mingge took Karin and came to the city of Milan for the third time.
The first time was to come here to participate in the first "Tai, Zi, Party" gathering in Zhuang Mingge's memory, at which he established his position as the "leader" of that small group for the first time, and at the same time successfully integrated these gentlemen together and established GM Broker Company; Of course, what happened later is also a painful memory that Zhuang Mingge still doesn't want to recall......
The second time was to watch the second leg of the Coppa Italia match between Fiorentina and Inter Milan, and that time Zhuang Mingge immediately caught the team bus that was about to leave after watching the game and returned to Fiorentina with the team;
This time, it is because the Italian Super Cup will be played at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, and Fiorentina will challenge the Serie A overlord AC Milan "away"!
"Hello, President Corleone, Miss Karin, I'm Adriano Galliani, General Manager of Milan." This time, when Zhuang Mingge entered the VIP box, he was greeted by a bald middle-aged man, smiling and greeting Zhuang Mingge.
Uh, it turns out that the person in front of him is the famous bald man, Zhuang Mingge smiled and greeted Galliani, while secretly vigilant, of course he knew how terrible this smiling Milan general manager was.
Someone once said that if the value of a person can be measured by the amount of the transfer fee, then Galliani is the most valuable "player" in the Milan club.
Because this bald head is so powerful.
When Berlusconi was spilling money, he brandished the checkbook provided by Lao Bei and created the Milan dynasty; When Lao Bei tightened his pockets and let AC Milan take care of its own profits and losses, Jia Bald gave full play to his wisdom and made an indelible contribution to the replacement of Milan's old and new.
Zuihou brought in Nesta in '02, got Brazilian national team captain Cafu from Roma for free in the summer of '03, and bought Nocerino from Palermo for a mere $500,000 in 2011...... The most famous is that in the summer of 2010, Galliani bought Ibrahimovic from Barcelona in three installments of 24 million euros, knowing that just a year ago, Barcelona spent $46 million in cash plus an Eto'o when they brought in the Swede!
What Zhuang Mingge, who crossed in the summer of 2012, did not know was that soon after his crossing, Galliani sold the only two superstars in the Milan team, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, and sent Pato away during the winter break of the 12-13 season, and used the transfer fee from the sale of these players to buy Balotelli and French teenager Niang, and successfully completed the replacement of the old and new in Milan without major fluctuations in the team's results.
This shows the strength of Galliani.
"Chairman Corleone, you have done a really good job in Florence this year, especially the bidding meeting last month, which was really an eye-opener for us old guys!"
"Where, where is the manager Galliani so kind, you are a role model for those of us who work in football"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sides took their seats to watch the upcoming Italian Super Cup.
Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the VIP box, put on headphones as usual, listening to the commentary and watching the game.
With the whistle of referee Corina, the match for the Italian Super Cup officially began!
