Let me go, Modric is so easy to become a member of Florence? Isn't this world too unscientific? Although he personally finalized the transfer transaction of Mordrich, Zhuang Mingge still felt a little unrealistic in his heart, and stared blankly at the phone not far away. After all, it was through this phone call that he had just agreed to Antonioni's request to bring in Modric.
To illustrate here, Modric's arrival can be said to be the result of Fiorentina's inadvertent involvement. If it weren't for the fact that Antonioni had bought Dinamo Zagreb, which was in financial crisis at the time, under the arrangement of Zhuang Mingge, and had an absolute controlling stake in the Croatian giant, how could they have so easily given this good seedling, which was destined to make a lot of money, to Florence?
So, Dinamo Zagreb are actually reluctant to sell Modric. But they don't have a good response to it, and who makes it possible for them to be actually in charge of Antonioni, the Fiorentina general manager?
Of course, Fiorentina can't let Dinamo Zagreb, the younger brother, suffer in vain. Immediately after announcing the signing of Modric, Fiorentina gave a batch of training equipment worth about $2 million to Dinamo Zagreb for free; At the same time, Adidas also announced that it has signed a five-year jersey sponsorship contract worth $6 million with Dinamo Zagreb!
As a result, Dinamo Zagreb received a huge sum of money almost equal to Modric's transfer fee in the blink of an eye, and most importantly, they didn't even have to pay much tax to the Croatian government due to the different sources of funding and sponsorship!
Dinamo Zagreb's lucrative work at Fiorentina has left other football clubs in the former Yugoslavia drooling. After all, these teams are not stupid, and they can certainly see that these two transactions must be inextricably linked to the previous transfer of Modric, and Dinamo Zagreb is definitely making a fortune this time.
In the case of Red Star Belgrade, the sale of Stankovic to Lazio for $20 million in '98 did make them a lot of money, but it was just a beautiful sight. After all, running a football club is a rather money-burning activity, and with the fact that the $20 million has not been exploited by the government, the Red Star team has only earned more than $10 million.
The most important thing is that without the thick thighs of Florence to hold, they can only sit on this huge amount of money, while Dinamo Zagreb can get quite nourished under the protection of the purple lily, and the hardware facilities and wages can be called the middle and upper level even in the whole of Europe, not to mention the former Yugoslavia that has just come out of the war and has not yet escaped poverty.
So, Dinamo Zagreb didn't actually suffer as much as it seemed to lose in the transfer of Luka Modric, but it was the benefits they got from it that were more eye-catching.
We want thighs like this too! It was a cry from the bottom of their hearts when other teams learned about the benefits Dinamo Zagreb had received from Fiorentina.
Luka Modric himself is very excited to play for Fiorentina, and in an interview with the media, the Croatian rising star claimed that playing for Fiorentina was his childhood dream, and he is happy to have the opportunity to make it come true!
Modric's remarks were not nonsense or a deliberate attempt to curry favor with his new club. You know, although the Croatian youngster will not turn 18 until September this year, he has been trained in football at Dinamo Zagreb since he was a child, and Modric has seen first-hand the huge changes in the club under Fiorentina over the years, and has experienced first-hand the salary and training that far exceeds that of the same region with the support of the Purple Lily.
In this stark contrast, Modric was naturally impressed by Florence, who lifted him and his family out of poverty. It can be said that Modric's favorability towards Fiorentina has been brushed up for a long time, which is why he said this in an interview.
"Tony?" Looking at Zhuang Mingge who was in a daze, Karin curiously stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "You shouldn't be thinking about that little guy named Modric, right?" Isn't it just a talented Croatian kid, we have Cristiano Ronaldo and De Rossi in the team, can this little guy's potential be better than theirs? ”
"Haha, I'm so sorry I accidentally wandered." Zhuang Mingge smiled embarrassedly at Karin and explained, "I have a feeling that this little guy Modric may become a midfield coach no less than Ballack in the future." ”
"Huh? No way? Karin didn't expect Zhuang Mingge to have such a high opinion of Modric, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Although Yugoslavia did give birth to many players with superstar potential, this was all before the breakup of Yugoslavia. Do you really think that this Modric has the potential to become a first-class star like Boban or Savicevic? ”
"Well, I do." For Karin's question, Zhuang Mingge could only give this kind of answer without any reason. He can't say that I've crossed over from another world, and that world's Modric has reached this height, right?
If Zhuang Mingge dared to say this, then he would either be sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, or he would be arrested by a research institute for slicing and studying.
That's all for Modric, but now let's get down to business. Although three transfers have been made in quick succession in a short period of time (including Chigarini's promotion), Mourinho believes that this is not enough to meet the needs of the second team, and the team still needs to make reinforcements in the transfer market. Otherwise, the Fiorentina II team, which will face a third-tier battle in the new season, will definitely die a very miserable death. Therefore, the Portuguese made a solemn request to Zhuang Mingge, hoping that the club can bring more good seedlings this summer to strengthen the bench depth of the second team, and by the way, prepare for the possible departure of the main players in advance.
Regarding Mourinho's suggestion, Zhuang Mingge naturally agreed. After all, the second team is Fiorentina's reserve talent base, and the more good players are cultivated there, the more benefits Fiorentina will naturally get. On the other hand, if the construction of the second team is not valued or even neglected, then the lack of a training mechanism will force Fiorentina to look for the players they need in the transfer market, and they may not be able to buy them.
In this way, with the introduction of new blood such as Chigarini and Modric, the Fiorentina second team, surrounded by countless hungry wolves, quietly began to renew the pace, secretly preparing for the upcoming wave of departures.
