After getting a satisfactory result from Prodi, Zhuang Mingge left the chancellor's palace and returned to Florence by car, and this trip to Rome allowed him to solve another major problem.

When Serie A's TV broadcast fee level catches up with the Premier League, and when Italian clubs have their own stadiums, can Italian football embark on a path of rapid development under the influence of these factors?

On the way back to Fiorentina, the 16th round of Serie A of the Purple Hundred contract with Reggiana has also come to an end, with Inzaghi's brace and Barty's goal leading Fiorentina to another victory.

After this victory, Zhuang Mingge received another piece of good news from Kenyon in the recent period: after Kenyon's active mediation for more than half a month, the Spanish authorities have approved Fernando Redondo's application for Spanish nationality, and now Redondo is no longer a non-EU player.

In other words, Fiorentina have a new non-European spot that can be used to bring in Houde River Plate centre-forward Julio Cruz.

Antonioni personally approached Ramón Dias, who had been teammates for a year in the '86-87 season, and acquaintances were always better talking.

Sure enough, Dias, who originally planned to let Cruise rot in River Plate, agreed to Antonioni's offer of $1 million without even bargaining after seeing the old captain when he played for Fiorentina and learning about the purpose of his trip.

On the one hand, perhaps because of Antonioni's affections; On the other hand, perhaps in Dias's view, a player of Crews' level can be sold for $1 million is already a very good price, and other teams are not necessarily willing to pay so much real money.

River Plate has agreed to the offer, and the next job for Antonioni is to get Cruise himself.

When there were no games to play and no suitable home to go to, Cruise was thrilled to hear that Fiorentina had sent a representative to negotiate with him about the package, and signed a four-and-a-half-year, $200,000-a-year contract without any additional conditions.

Although Antonioni made it clear to Cruise during the negotiations that it was likely that he would be on the bench even if he arrived at Fiorentina, the Argentine did not hesitate to sign his name on the work contract.

In exchange for Angeloma and Cruise, Fiorentina's winter recruitment can also be over, unless there is a major accident before the transfer door closes, neither Zhuang Mingge nor manager Capello intends to add players to the first team.

If there are more people, adjusting the atmosphere in the locker room is enough of a headache.

At this time, the time has come to January 19, that is, the match day of the 17th round of Serie A, Fiorentina will host Sampdoria at home.

Although the current Sampdoria has long lost the championship temperament of the golden Samp period, the frequent turnover of personnel has also greatly reduced the cohesion of the team. However, Montella's crazy performances this season and the return of veteran Roberto Mancini, coupled with the organization of Argentine wizard Veron, have beaten Milan in previous games, tied with Parma, and narrowly lost to Juventus by one goal at home.

……

"Through these game videos, I found that although Sampdoria has won four consecutive league games in the last four league games, it can be said that it is at a peak in terms of morale and competitive form, and the attacking trident of Montella, Mancini and Veron is quite sharp, and the attacking firepower is only slightly inferior to ours." In the home dressing room, Capello wrote and drew on the small blackboard with a serious face, "But Sampdoria is not invulnerable, their weakness is still very obvious, and that is their backline. ”

"4-3 against Inter Milan, 2-1 against Vicenza, 5-4 against Udinese, 4-1 against Cagliari...... There are a lot of goals scored and a decent number of goals conceded. So......" Capello said, drawing a heavy circle on Veron's name, "Edgar, I ask you to keep an eye on this Argentine, Fernando and Luigi are in charge of the defense, he is Sampdoria's offensive engine, and staring at him is half the battle; I don't need to say much about Montella, I think you know better than I do about his weaknesses; Although Mancini has been in good form this season, he is also a veteran in his thirties, and his physical condition is certainly not comparable to that of his peak. ”

"As for the attack, I don't need to say more, try to press the opponent's defense as much as possible, and we play defensive counter-attacks. Rui, pay attention to the timing of your passes, Christian and Ronnie, I won't tell you two more, just remember to score...... But remember to cooperate, don't be like Philip, who wants to shoot when he sees the ball. ”

A joke by Capello Zuihou embarrassed Inzaghi and the others couldn't help but laugh, and Vieri and Effenberg squatted in the corner and laughed gloatingly, completely disgusted with their friends.

After the start of the game, Sampdoria was lured by Fiorentina to press the attack, the young and energetic Veron hoped to replicate Maradona's miracle in Italy, and Montella wanted to prove that he was no worse than Inzaghi, even with veterans Manini and Mancini in charge, they did not control the emotions of their teammates well.

The wish was beautiful, but it turned out that Fiorentina, who were playing at home, knocked the Samp man hard.

In the 33rd minute, Veron was cut off by Di Biagio and Davies when receiving Leegler's pass, Fiorentina immediately launched a quick counterattack, Costa's pass accurately found Vieri, who resisted Mihajlovic and knocked the ball to Ronaldo, and the alien ran all the way with the ball and shook the opposing goalkeeper before scoring to open the scoring for the home team;

The Samp players who conceded a goal first immediately launched a more fierce attack, which really caught the Fiorentina players off guard, and five minutes after Ronaldo's goal, Montella received Mancini's assist to help Sampdoria equalize the score, 1-1!

However, how could Fiorentina's players promise a draw at home?

In the 48th minute, Rui Costa made a long pass from the backfield, the ball passed through the entire Sampdoria back line and fell to the front of the opponent's penalty area, and the alien who got rid of Mannini's marking successfully received the ball to form a single knife, and in the face of the Samp goalkeeper calmly pushed the ball into the net, Fiorentina regained the lead!
