When Zhuang Mingge arrived at the headquarters of Dynamo Kyiv by car, he was surprised to find that the 60-year-old coach Valery Lobanovsky was standing outside the gate, quietly waiting for his arrival!

Zhuang Mingge was taken aback by Lobanovsky's move, and knowing the old man's physical condition, he hurriedly walked out of the car door and strode in the direction of the Ukrainians regardless of his image!

"Hmph, Florence is finally here, I thought you were really not interested in Andrei (Shevchenko)'s boy." Due to his advanced age, Lobanovsky's eyesight is naturally not as good as before, so he did not recognize the person in front of him as the president of Florence at the first time, so he stood at the door and joked.

"Mr. Lobanovsky, what are you doing here?" Hurriedly ran to Lobanovsky, Zhuang Mingge didn't care about being polite, grabbed the other party's arm and walked into the door, "You are so old, and your body is not good, what kind of crazy is this?" Besides, it stands to reason that I, a junior, should take the initiative to visit you, why did you come here and the other way around, and actually came out to greet me regardless of your body? ”

If it is because of him that the old Ukrainian man is infected with some illness and hangs up in advance, then let alone the transfer of Karadze and Shevchenko, I am afraid that in the next ten years, the countries within the sphere of influence of football in the former Soviet Union will regard Fiorentina as an enemy who is not a common enemy.

What's more, among the managers of the older generation, Zhuang Mingge admires Lobanovski the most, if the other party is not unwilling to coach in the fiercely competitive Serie A because of his health, then there will be nothing wrong with Heynckes now. Therefore, Zhuang Mingge was really embarrassed to let this old man, whom he respected from the bottom of his heart, greet him at the door.

"Hehe, I can't see that the president of Florence, who is rumored to have a vicious eye and makes the managers of other clubs very jealous, is still a young man who cares about the elderly." Lobanovsky also recognized that the representative of Florence who came to negotiate with him this time was actually their president, so he looked at Zhuang Mingge and said with a smile, "Young man, don't be so nervous, although the old man is already old, I have not reached the point where I will fall down when the wind blows." If I had really weakened and become like that, how could I still continue to work in the position of head coach of Dynamo Kyiv, and I would have been dragged back home to recuperate for the rest of my life! ”

As he spoke, Lobanovsky, who was obviously still unconvinced, withdrew his arm from Zhuang Mingge's hand, and then walked into his office in the headquarters of the Dynamo Club in Kyiv with Zhuang Mingge: "Say, why didn't you Florence make an offer to Andrei before?" ”

"To be honest, after the Champions Cup quarter-finals, we at Fiorentina did have the idea of bringing him in Shevchenko. However, in my opinion, a good player like Shevchenko probably wouldn't want to be subservient and share playing time and firing with Vieri and Ronaldo, so we later excluded him from the list of targets. Although as the president of Florence, he should put more smoke bombs during negotiations to make the opponent unclear about his purpose, Zhuang Mingge still decided to tell the truth to the other party.

This is not only out of respect for this old man, but also because Lobanovsky, an old goblin, will not be fooled by Zhuang Mingge at all, so there is no need for him to waste energy in this regard.

"I'll just say, with Andrea's performance in the Champions Cup, how could you Florence not be tempted, it turns out that the fault is your kid." After listening to Zhuang Mingge's explanation, Lobanovsky laughed twice, and then criticized with a straight face, "Although it is a good habit for young people to be cautious, they should not be too careful. Especially this time, if I don't have a reminder, I'm afraid you're going to miss out on a top striker. ”

"You're right, this time I took it for granted." Zhuang Mingge nodded, admitted his mistake, and at the same time told Lobanovsky some ideas, "Having said that, although you took the initiative to recommend your disciple Shevchenko to us, and we at Florence do have the intention of introducing him, but if Shevchenko himself is not willing to sacrifice playing time to join our team, I am afraid it will be useless." ”

"As for how to convince Andrea to agree to join Fiorentina, I don't think you have to bother with this question." Lobanovsky waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone, quite a bit of the demeanor of a general on the battlefield, "I have already done the ideological work of that kid, and he expressed to me that he is very willing to play for Florence." Even if Vieri and Ronaldo and Inzaghi share the opportunity to play and the right to fire, there is absolutely no problem, so you don't have to think about that. ”

"Uh......" Zhuang Mingge never thought that Lobanovsky would be so active, he hadn't made any moves on his side, and the ideological work on the player's side had already been done.

Fortunately, the team's fourth striker was not finalized before, otherwise if he really missed Shevchenko because of this, he would not regret it for the rest of his life? Zhuang Mingge thought so in his heart.

At the same time, Lobanovski is rejoicing that the transfer has been made. In his opinion, Fiorentina, with the most innovative midfielder in Europe, is the most suitable team for Shevchenko to play his characteristics and promote his professional development!

Don't look at Lobanovsky's incomparably courteous attitude in front of Zhuang Mingge, I can't wait to directly shove Shevchenko to the other party. But in fact, this is the final decision made by the godfather of Ukrainian football after a long period of comparison and research, and came to the conclusion that "Andrei is the best to go to Fiorentina".

Like Heynckes, Lobanovski has studied Fiorentina's current staffing and tactical play. The godfather of Ukrainian football flipped out the video tapes of Fiorentina's matches in the past five seasons and watched dozens of games from them, and found that the team's tactical thinking, whether under Ranieri or Capello, has not changed in any way, but has its own focus on details.

In other words, the general direction of Fiorentina's tactics will not change drastically due to the change of manager, a conclusion that relieved Lobanovski, who was a little hesitant because of Capello's departure. Because he knows that Shevchenko will definitely burst out with amazing power under the existing tactical system of Florence and evolve into a veritable Ukrainian nuclear warhead!
