PS: First of all, I asked for a recommendation vote here, thank you......

Although the main players such as Effenberg and Redondo are still there, the departure of Davies still makes the outside world worry about Fiorentina's journey in the new season, and the Purple Lily's winning odds in all competitions have been lowered a lot by the company.

Midfielder Davies defected to arch-rivals Juventus, while Fiorentina's other main midfielder in previous seasons, Di Biagio, moved to Roma this summer with his teammate Tomasi, who is also one of the Purple Lily's main rotation players in the midfield position, and Fiorentina has a huge vacuum in the defensive midfield position.

Despite bringing in Claude Makelele from Ligue 1 giants Monaco, the French midfielder is not taken too seriously - players who can't even make it to the national team, no matter how capable they are, must not be as good as Davies and Di Biagio - that's what most fans think of Makellele's new signing.

Coupled with the departure of Crews, Angeloma, Ze Roberto and other rotation players and bench gangsters from Fiorentina this summer, many people believe that Fiorentina's overall strength has declined considerably. After all, a season is a very long time, and if you want to achieve good results, you need not only a strong main team, but also the depth of the bench.

Now that there are so many excellent substitutes at once, even if they are as strong as Fiorentina, I'm afraid next season's results will not be as perverted as in previous seasons, right?

Although Fiorentina has made great efforts to recruit this summer, bringing in new blood such as Vogel, Gattuso, Deco and Madavecchia, people also have high expectations for their future. However, some experts and professors jumped out at this time, claiming that although these players have great potential, they have not played in the Italian league before, and they are too young to adapt to Italian football now, and it is still unknown whether they can provide the necessary immediate power for Fiorentina, so if one is not right, Fiorentina, who has dominated Serie A for four years, is likely to repeat the mistakes of the previous hegemon AC Milan this season.

Instigated by these experts, many supporters of Fiorentina have begun to worry about the future of the team, and many have written or emailed the club, hoping to bring in some reinforcements in the transfer period to strengthen the team, so as not to fall behind in the fierce arms race of the Serie A teams.

Seeing these letters, Antonioni shook his head and smiled bitterly, he did not blame the fans for pointing fingers at the club's work, because he knew that the fans' intentions were for the good of Fiorentina, and he also knew that they were all instigated by the media and experts who feared that the world would not be chaotic.

Therefore, in order not to break the hearts of these enthusiastic fans, Antonioni had to arrange for a special person to reply to the fans one by one, in order to appease the fans, so that they would not be encouraged by those unscrupulous media to act more radically.

Although the outside world is not optimistic about the new season of Fiorentina, the Purple Lily is calm at this time, and all departments are running in an orderly manner, and there is no sign of confusion due to the underrating of them by the outside world.

After all, these things have already happened once in the first two years when Zhuang Mingge first took charge of Fiorentina, when the chairman almost cleaned the entire first team, and brought a large number of unknown players and coach Ranieri, and then let Fiorentina, which had fallen into a trough, rise again two years after being relegated from Serie A!

And now, Fiorentina is not only standing on the podium of the championship, but with this whirlwind set off by Florence, the whole of Europe has been dyed with this gorgeous purple color!

Since Mr. President succeeded in this way five years ago, he can do the same five years now, and this is how all the staff in Florence feel about their boss at this moment.

Although this view is a bit extreme and idealistic, the current Zhuang Mingge can give everyone who knows him this feeling, a feeling that he is omnipotent in the football world!

Okay, now let's get back to the transfer market, after selling Davies to Juventus, Fiorentina has only one last and most important move left to complete this summer, and that is the transfer of Argentine god Batistuta!

Although with the rise of the likes of Vieri, Ronaldo and Inzaghi, Batistuta has seen a decline in numbers in recent years, and it is far less glamorous than the season in which he led the Purple Lilies back to Serie A. But anyone who follows Fiorentina knows that Batistuta is more than just a few goals he scored in the game, and the god of war is the spiritual leader of the Purple Lily!

Therefore, if it weren't for Batistuta taking the initiative to apply for a transfer for the main position of the national team, Zhuang Mingge would not have let the Argentine center forward transfer.

The only thing to be thankful for is that although Batistuta's idea of asking for a transfer is unshakable, Effenberg, the team's other locker room leader, did not stab Fiorentina again at this time, but signed his name on a four-year, annual salary of up to $5 million!

After learning the news, people were extremely shocked by the high salary that Tiger easily obtained. After all, it is 1998, and there are very few professional players at this time whose annual salary can reach this figure.

You must know that after Manchester United won the treble in history, the annual salary of team captain Keane and heartthrob Beckham was only more than two million US dollars, and in the end, it was the captain of Manchester United who threatened to transfer to the club and had to give him a salary increase; Luis Figo only got this level of salary after moving to Real Madrid for a record price, and before that, he was only $3 million a year as the captain of Barcelona!

Therefore, Effenberg's contract can be said to have put him at the top level in Europe, making all his peers in the same situation as him envious and jealous - why can't we afford such a generous and rich boss?

With the renewal of the contract, people have seen Florence's determination to keep the German Tiger, because no one dares to offer Effenberg such a lucrative contract to Florence.

Fiorentina can offer such a high price because Effenberg is the undisputed leader of the team when Barty's transfer is confirmed, and the treatment should be top-notch; And if the Tigers go to other teams to enjoy this kind of treatment, then it is bound to cause a storm in the locker room, and the old people in the team will definitely not want to see a newcomer who gets a much higher salary than himself, such as the historical Litmanen......

On the other hand, this contract is almost a declaration that Effenberg will end his career in Fiorentina, because when the maximum salary expires, Effenberg will be 34 years old. If nothing else, the German Tiger is likely to renew his contract with Fiorentina and play in the Renaissance capital until he hangs up his boots!
