No way! Antonioni, you're too good, aren't you?! Where did you dig up the underage Pirlo? Zhuang Mingge looked at the general manager of Florence in front of him with red eyes, panting like a cow, and having no image at all.

"You said the little guy named Andrea Pirlo is a striker?" Zhuang Mingge asked in disbelief. After all, in his impression, when Pirlo first debuted, his position on the field was the front midfield, and later transferred to AC Milan, because the position of the forward midfield has the untouchable Portuguese art master Rui Costa, so that the then Milan coach Ancelotti was forced to move Pirlo's position back, which created the later "the most elegant back after Redondo" Pirlo.

"That's right, Antonio, take a look at this tape, I'm sure you'll be fascinated by this little guy too." Antonioni said, simply pulled Zhuang Mingge and ran to a projection room, stuffed the videotape into the machine, and turned on the projector.

Soon, a picture appeared on the big screen in front of Zhuang Mingge.

"It's ...... Fiorentina vs Brescia match? By distinguishing the color of the jersey, Zhuang Mingge recognized both sides of the game at once.

"To be precise, it's a match between Brescia youth and Fiorentina juniors." Antonioni added.

According to the Italian Professional League, the schedule of the Youth League is exactly the same as that of the first team, so the match is actually played at the same time as the Fiorentina first team.

"Andrea Pirlo plays for the youth team in Brescia?" Zhuang Mingge only knew that the later Pirlo regained his confidence and inspiration to play football in Brescia, but he didn't know that Pirlo's birthplace was Brescia, otherwise he would not let go of this talented player in anything.

"That's right...... You see! It's the guy with the number 10 shirt! Antonioni grabbed Zhuang Mingge's shoulder, and the force was so great that Zhuang Mingge wondered if his shoulder blades were pinched by the other party.

Brescia is a perennial "lift" team fighting for relegation, and there is a big gap between its youth team and Fiorentina's youth team; Not to mention that under the management of Zhuang Mingge, the Fiorentina youth team at this time can be said to be full of talent: Tacinadi, De Sanctis, Perrotta who were traded from Juventus, plus C. Zanetti who was originally in the youth team. Therefore, against the Brescia youth team, apart from goalkeeper De Sanctis, there were few chances to perform, and the rest of Fiorentina's youngsters dominated the 90 minutes.

And Zhuang Mingge's attention will naturally not be on this game that is basically unsuspenseful and completely easy to win, he is concerned about the recommendation of Antonioni, the Brescia forward line, wearing the number ten jersey, the thin striker, with his relentless running and passing organization to revitalize Brescia's attack. At the time of the game, the entire Brescia youth team was centred around Andrea Pirlo, who dropped back from the forward position, was not only able to organise attacks, be creative, but also take advantage of the few opportunities in front of goal to grab a shot and attack the Fiorentina goal. Pirlo relied on his rich imagination and superb football skills, as well as his keen grasp of time and space on the pitch, to pass countless good balls, but unfortunately, his teammates could not understand Pirlo's genius thinking, and thus wasted countless opportunities, which is an important reason why Weishenme De Sanctis will be so idle in this game.

Of course, Andrea Pirlo was also the only bright spot for Brescia as the home team in the whole game.

This is Andrea Pirlo – a young player with graceful movements and a lot of spirituality, even though he was not yet 16 years old.

"Antonio, did you see that? This kind of genius-like spirituality, this is the first time I have seen it in an Italian player! ”

"Okay, okay, I saw it, can you let go first, my shoulders are about to be crushed by you......"

In Zhuang Mingge's memory, Pirlo does belong to the kind of talented players with excellent ball sense, but he does not belong to the football genius who came out of the slums like Pele and Maradona.

Pirlo on the pitch is born with an elegant leadership temperament, and in Italy, a football country where the art of "moments" is popular, a player like Pirlo who can preserve the artistic football atmosphere for a long time is even more precious. Of course, in Zhuang Mingge's memory, players like Pirlo, such as Roberto Baggio, Albertini, and later Mo Feio, encountered setbacks and resistance in their careers that ordinary people could not face calmly.

Zhuang Mingge vaguely remembers that after Pirlo became famous in Brescia, the wealthy Moratti immediately took him into account. Simeone, who was the head coach of Inter Milan at the time, promoted Pirlo and gave him a lot of opportunities to play, but with Simeone's departure and Inter Milan's offensive line overcrowded, Pirlo, who was on the rise, could only embark on a loan.

Later, when Pirlo, who had performed well in the Reggina team, returned to Milan, it coincided with the most turbulent period for Inter Milan, and the unstable team environment simply could not give Pirlo enough training opportunities, and the talented player was almost ruined at the hands of Inter Milan.

If it weren't for the help of Baggio in Brescia, and the bold support of Ancelotti after the transfer to AC Milan, Pirlo, who suffered many setbacks in the early stages of his career, really doesn't know when he will be able to see his emergence.

"How? Isn't it time to sign it? Antonioni looked at Zhuang Mingge with an expectant expression, there is no way, who makes the final decision on Fiorentina's transfer work is in the hands of Zhuang Mingge.

Generally speaking, Zhuang Mingge will not care about the introduction of young players, and he has delegated this part of the power to Antonioni as early as the beginning of the restructuring of the club. But this time Pirlo's transfer, in Antonioni's opinion, if you want Brescia to release him obediently, Fiorentina must still have to pay some big price, in this case, it is better to get the consent of this boss first.

"Okay, I agreed!" Zhuang Mingge pretended to think for a while, and then decided to pay this transfer fee, which he considered "very profitable".

Pirlo, who has been abandoned at Inter Milan for three years, can achieve that kind of achievement, if he poachs Pirlo to Fiorentina now, let Kripa teach him how to defend better, let Effenberg teach him how to play, run and find opportunities, let Djokaeff hone his jishu, and let Batistuta teach him shooting jishu...... So, what kind of height will such a "strengthened" Pirlo grow to?

Zhuang Mingge began to look forward to the day when Pirlo's green fruit would finally ripen.
