Chapter 423: Florence's Nemesis? (below)
Fiorentina were eliminated by Vicenza!
The little-known Vicenza eliminated Fiorentina, who had the whole of European football trembling, in this season's Coppa Italia. Such a brilliant achievement shook the whole of Europe at once, and countless managers tried their best to get the tapes of the two legs of the game through the back door, hid in the small dark room and immersed themselves in the mysteries, studied and carefully studied the tactics used in Vicenza's defeat against Fiorentina, and tried to replicate Guidolin's successful experience, so as to be prepared when they meet Fiorentina in the future.
Managers at those clubs are eyeing these high-quality resources in the Vicenza squad, especially Ambrosetti, who has been extremely sharp on the left flank, and Marcelo Otero, who has been the biggest hero of Vicenza's victory, two players who have attracted a lot of attention from clubs across Europe.
Especially the Uruguayan striker, with his excellent performance against Fiorentina (he scored a total of seven goals in the last three meetings with Fiorentina, which can be said to be the biggest sufferer of Fiorentina), Otero was quickly dubbed "Fiorentina's most troubled player" and "Fiorentina star" by the Italian media. The Uruguayan has become an overnight sensation in the transfer market, and although his contract with Vicenza still has more than two years to go before it expires, a mere work contract will not solve much of a problem in the eyes of many wealthy giants.
AC Milan have been on good terms with Vicenza and after learning that Fiorentina had been eliminated from the Coppa Italia, Berlusconi was very pleased with Otero's god-level performance, and the Rossoneri boss believes that Otero has the ability to be part of Milan's forward line.
Under Berlusconi's command, Galliani immediately made an offer for Otero in Vicenza, and as for the price offered, it was the other half of Koko and Ambrosini.
Faced with an offer from AC Milan, Vicenza did not hesitate to refuse, not because they wanted to keep the South American striker, after all, with Vicenza's financial resources and status, it is impossible to keep Otero under the competition of many giants, so Vicenza's management is more thinking about how to maximize Otero's value.
Clearly, Galliani's offer to exchange half ownership of the two players for Otero falls far short of what Vicenza expected.
Juventus' Molao Foxes are also interested in Otero, and while Moggi is rational most of the time, that doesn't mean he doesn't get emotional, especially since he took over as Juventus' general manager and the Bianconeri were pinned down by Fiorentina.
And Otero's emergence has given hope to Mogi, who has been trying to pull Fiorentina off the throne, after all, after the departure of Ravanelli and Vialli, Juventus's original luxury forward line is now only Pierrot who has the ability to score goals steadily, although Otero's performance this season is a bit nerve-cut, but he can always play amazingly in the face of Florence's Shijie-level defense, he still makes Mo Lao Fox can't help but take out the checkbook.
$2 million, plus youth striker Nicola Amoruso, was Moggie's first offer for Otero, which was also rejected by Vicenza, who thought Otero could fetch a higher price. Besides, now that Vicenza has a liliang type of Toni in the center forward position, there is no need or spare money to raise another Amoruso with a similar style.
The Roma duo also participated in the battle for Otero soon after, the former offered Otero not to strengthen his striker, after all, the Red Wolves already have Balbo and Fonseca, the striker combination of megatron Serie A, and Delvicchio is still sitting on the bench, and the teenager Totti is also worth looking forward to. The latter is due to the extremely poor performance of Proti, the introduction of the Serie A Golden Boot, and the lack of shooting boots for Casillaqi, the team's attack can almost only be supported by Signoli alone, and it is natural that he will be interested in Otero.
As the battle for Otero intensified, so much so that even Fiorentina's side was affected, general manager Antonio asked Zhuang Mingge if it was necessary for the team to take Otero, the "Florentine star", to save the Uruguayan from transferring to another team to add to the purple lily.
"Giancarlo, don't care about the striker named Otero, just treat him as the 'Milan nemesis' Asprilla and Di Canio, Fiorentina" Zhuang Mingge was very helpless about Antonioni's worries, it seems that the Italians really like to make a gimmick like "XX nemesis".
The same was true when AC Milan went on a rampage, with Asprilla already a Colombia international but a slightly above average striker in Serie A, but that all changed when he ended the Rossoneri's 58-game unbeaten run in league games with a free-kick.
Almost after the night, everyone, including the media, praised Asprilla, and those who don't know may think that the Colombian player is the No. 1 striker.
The so-called one-goal fame, that's it, right?
After that, all the players who led the team to defeat AC Milan were dubbed "Milan's nemesis" by the media, such as Di Canio, such as Dugarry......
At this time, Berlusconi was also powerful enough, in order to make these so-called "nemesis" no longer restrain their AC Milan, he took out a large transfer fee to collect all these players.
However, Zhuang Mingge himself is not interested in these so-called "nemesis", no team on this shijie is perfect, and conceding goals or even losing is inevitable.
Even Barcelona, which was called the "Universe Team" in the previous life, does not mention their habit of besieging referees and the character of Barcelona players, even if they are as strong, they have not escaped the fate of losing.
If one counts as one, then there will be more nemesis in Florence.
Otero is one, as is Gascoigne, who led Rangers to beat Fiorentina at the Stadio Frankie for the second year in a row, and even German midfielder Ballack, who scored the winner in the last game, was dubbed the "Fiorentinsack Star" by the Italian media after the game.
If Zhuang Mingge really plans to buy all these Florence "nemesis" to Florence, not to mention whether there will be vicious competition in the team, even Zhuang Mingge's wallet may not be able to afford such a huge financial expenditure.
