Chapter 251: Fei Lengcui's Winter Transfer
Seeing the players desperately winning on the field, Zhuang Mingge, as the president of Fiorentina, was naturally very happy, and he was happy to see a football giant slowly taking shape in his own hands. Of course, in order to achieve this goal, Zhuang Mingge is naturally not idle in this winter transfer period, although Fiorentina's first-team squad looks quite complete, but it is not possible to say that a large number of injuries to players in a certain position like last November have caused the team to be stretched in the line-up.
However, it is obviously impossible to bring in players at this time, not to mention whether the team of these players is willing to release them in the middle of the season, even Fiorentina has no place for these people now, after all, what the Purple Lily needs now is a few last substitutes who can sit on the bench, not a main player.
Based on the above reasons, Zhuang Mingge had no choice but to focus on the young players and those veterans who have not yet become famous, after all, young players can play with the Fiorentina youth team in normal times, and can be transferred at any time when the team is short of people; Veterans generally don't complain about not having the opportunity to play, and they are already in the twilight of their careers, and they prefer to have a stable environment and a good salary so that they can play until retirement.
However, in terms of recruitment, Zhuang Mingge still hopes to introduce more young players, after all, too many veterans will also cause some trouble, for example, in Zhuang Mingge's previous life, the AC Milan after 2006, because they are more inclined to those famous players who have been stereotyped and relatively cheap when recruiting, as a result, the team's salary has always been high, and the pursuit of comfort by the old players has also made Milan unable to get rid of the heavy salary burden. Zuihou had to be forced to purge the killer to make the team recover a little.
So, the arrival of veteran players can certainly bring more experience to the team, and their performance is much more consistent than that of younger players, but their attitude towards the game is different from that of young players, and veterans at the end of their careers do not have the drive and unyielding belief of young players, so it is difficult to expect these veterans to lead the team to launch a Jedi counterattack (except for some exceptions, of course).
Therefore, in this short period of winter transfer period, Zhuang Mingge put most of his attention on those young players under the age of 18 in Italian football and began to operate these transfers, and Fiorentina can be said to have gained a lot in the past month.
The Purple Lily's first signing in January was the $100,000 acquisition of young striker Antonio Di Natale from Serie B side Empoli.
Zhuang Mingge clearly remembers that Di Natale is a typical late-blooming player, who was unknown in the early part of his career until he was 30 years old and began to break out, and won two consecutive Serie A Golden Boots in 10 and 11 years, dribbling, passing and shooting everything. What makes Zhuang Mingge's heart the most is not these, but after Di Natale became famous, many Serie A teams expressed interest in him, including Roma, Juventus and other strong teams, but Di Natale himself, who had an annual salary of only $700,000 at that time, still firmly chose to stay in Udinese, the reason is simply that Udinese brought him to the Serie A arena when he was unknown, even if Udinese was not responsible for scoring but passing the ball to his teammates at the beginning, Di Natale still had no complaints, Conscientiously completing the task, this kind of loyalty and hard-working attitude is something that Zhuang Mingge appreciates very much.
Zhuang Mingge has always had the opinion that if players like Di Natale were given systematic and comprehensive training early in their careers, and given enough playing opportunities and a stable external environment, Di Natale's career could be even more exciting.
After signing Di Natale, Zhuang Mingge sent him to the Fiorentina youth team to be trained by Moniz and Mulensten - now the Fiorentina youth team players have made great progress in jishu under the tutelage of these two Gufern apprentices, and it is believed that Di Natale should be able to reach higher heights under the training of these two than in his previous life.
Fiorentina's second signing in the winter was still as a striker, with young Modena centre-forward Luca Toney joining the Purple Lilies for $65,000. The young Toney was very excited to be able to join the Serie A leader Fiorentina, but he was not carried away and clearly realized that he was just a striker in the third division, and he did not have the strength to gain a firm foothold in the first team of Florence, so when he talked with Zhuang Mingge, Tony directly raised this doubt.
What Toni had in mind, Zhuang Mingge naturally thought that after some discussion, the two sides reached another agreement before signing the contract, and the young homegrown striker would play with Fiorentina youth team for the next half season, and then decide where to go next season according to his progress.
After signing two future stars, Zhuang Mingge also played the idea of Vicenza, the dark horse in Serie A this season, originally he wanted to sign Ambrosini and Koko, but it turned out that both players were loaned from AC Milan in Vicenza last summer, so Zhuang Mingge had to call Galliani to ask about the price of the two.
The cunning Galliani naturally will not let go of this opportunity easily, and he once again mentioned the transfer of Firicano on the phone, and hinted that if Zhuang Mingge agrees to Filicano's transfer, AC Milan can give Ambrosini and Koko, two excellent young players, to Fiorentina for free.
Zhuang Mingge naturally will not agree to Galliani's proposal, after all, Fiorentina now only has three legitimate central defenders, and Uncle Verjoward is already in semi-retirement, if Filicano is sold, where will there be a replacement available?
However, Fiorentina's defensive midfield can now be said to be overcrowded, Tomasi, Tacinadi, Davies, Di Biagio, Kripa, plus Zanetti and Perrotta in the youth team, Ambrosini is brought in more to satisfy Zhuang Mingge's hobby of collecting future stars than the needs of the team, so he naturally will not agree to use Firicano in exchange for the ownership of Ambrosini and Koko.
If you can't get the desired Filicano, Galliani will not agree to sell Ambrosini and Coco, two promising newcomers, to Fiorentina, after all, in the past two years, Fiorentina's reputation for being good at cultivating young players has spread all over Italy, although many of them are secondary processing after being introduced from other teams, but this is also a kind of ability, you don't see Inter Milan buying so many young players and not being able to train any of them......
Since the two sides have not been able to reach an agreement on this transfer, Zhuang Mingge's introduction of Ambrosini and Koko's Jihua had to be declared a failure.
