Since Blackburn cut off Ginola, Karin has changed her original image of a little witch, and she is gentle and considerate as if she is a different person. Zhuang Mingge was very surprised by this, but he didn't say anything, of course he understood that Karin would have such a big change in Weishenme in the past few days, and he also knew that Karin's friendship with him could not be expressed simply by words or money, and could only answer silently with his own actions.

However, the immediate priority now is to find a player who can play the role of "fusion agent" as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhuang Mingge was staying in the hotel room, writing and drawing with a list in his hand, and he kept talking to himself:

"Ronaldo...... No, he's too young, and at 17 he can't provide the immediate power that the team needs. ”

"Luis Figo is not good, although he is up to par in all respects, but he is a representative of Portugal's golden generation, and Sporting Lisbon will not let him join a team in the second division."

"Paul Futre is not a Haode option, his form has declined quickly since leaving Atletico, but it is a barely acceptable option to play half a season on loan from Marseille......

"Ahh Damn Blackburn! Zhuang Mingge rubbed his hair with a headache, "If you don't go to buy Sutton quickly, you have to go to France to mess around with something......

"Well, let me think about it again, who else can accept Fiorentina's conditions......"

First of all, there is no need to participate in next year's Shijie Cup in the United States, after all, few head coaches of the national team are willing to choose players from teams in the second division who can participate in the Shijie Cup;

Secondly, the player needs to be able to provide Fiorentina with a reliable instant force immediately;

Zuihou, this player has to be well-rounded enough, and he has to have a good level of penetration, crossing, and shooting.

Thanks to the time Zhuang Mingge is now in 1993, since the Boseman Act has not yet been implemented, European teams can only start three foreign players per game, so most teams are only focusing on their own players.

For foreign players, many teams are only aware of their presence in national team competitions or on the European stage, and foreign players who have performed well in these competitions will be considered by these teams. One of the more famous examples is Kasper Schmeichel, who was only dormant in the Danish league before Euro 92 became famous, saving Basten's penalty at the European Championship before being brought in by Manchester United, who was 29 years old at the time.

As a result, many powerful players have to stay silent in their home leagues until they retire because they do not have the opportunity to show their talents in continental competitions.

Zhuang Mingge is to take advantage of the "blind spot" in the scouting system of European clubs at this time to find a suitable player for Fiorentina.

"Elber, Zidane, Miku......" Zhuang Mingge wrote these names that were thunderous in later generations one by one, and then crossed them all out, leaving only one name, "The others are not suitable for the current Florence at all." ”

And the name that wasn't crossed out was Yuri Djokaev.

Yuri Djokaeff, born on March 9, 1968, currently plays for Ligue 1 club Monaco, playing as a midfielder, but also playing as a left midfielder and striker.

Zhuang Mingge chose Djokaeff for three reasons:

First, the French national team has already been eliminated in the qualifiers, and Djokaeff does not have to worry about the possibility of his transfer affecting his participation in the Shijie Cup next year;

Secondly, Djokaeau's jishu style is quite consistent with the "fusion agent" that Zhuang Mingge is looking for, he can break through the goal by himself, or assist as a playmaker, and can effectively connect Effenberg and Batistuta, which is the team as a whole;

Thirdly, in Zhuang Mingge's memory, Djokaeff's performance at Inter Milan and the French national team proved that he was a very good team player, and he never caused conflicts within the team because of his playing time and ball possession being divided by others.

The question is only whether Djokaeff can be persuaded to agree to join Fiorentina, although the player's opinion cannot influence his own direction at this time, Zhuang Mingge still hopes to make the player feel more valued by himself, so as to enhance the player's sense of belonging to the club, and not leave the team as soon as the Bosman Act is implemented.

Zhuang Mingge is not worried that Monaco manager Arsene Wenger will block the transfer, Wenger, who came from economics, never thinks that any player is indispensable, just like when he was later in charge of Arsenal, he developed Fabregas and then sold Vieira, Van Persie and Adebayor grew up and let go of Henry, and had unpleasant falling out with Bergkamp and Pire for the total salary of the team.

Zhuang Mingge had made up his mind and informed Karin of his intention to sign Djokaeff, and Karin immediately arranged the itinerary of the two in Monaco, and informed the Monaco club by the way.

In this way, the two left the flower capital of Paris and came to Monaco, a gambling city located in the south of France.

Although Monaco are a Ligue 1 powerhouse and have advanced to the next round of the Champions Cup (Paris Saint-Germain, who finished runners-up last season, refused to replace Marseille in the Champions League due to Marseille's disqualification, and Zuihou was joined by Union runners-up Monaco), but their results in the league this season have not been ideal, currently only 11th in Ligue 1, Wenger's position is in jeopardy, and he needs a transfer fee to strengthen the team in the winter.

As we all know, although Monaco is known as the "royal team", it is an out-and-out poor team, and often has to sell players to maintain its operation, so the Monaco club has no objection to Zhuang Mingge's poaching behavior this time, but hopes that the other party can be as generous as possible when introducing its own players.

The transfer negotiations were entrusted directly to manager Arsène Wenger and told him that the transfer fee could be used entirely in the transfer market, so Wenger was very enthusiastic about the negotiations.

"Hello, Mr. Corleone, time is tight, let's make a long story short, I wonder which player from our club you have taken a fancy to Monaco this time?"

"Mr. Arsene Wenger, then I'll be straight to the point, I want to bring in your club's attacking midfielder, Yuri Djokaeff."

"Djokaeff is a key player in our team and is not for sale."

'I don't think there's ever been a player for Monaco who is really not for sale, don't you say, Mr Arsene Wenger?'

"$8 million, pay it all at once, and you can take Djokaeff with you." Arsene Wenger thought about it for a moment and gave the price he wanted.

"No way, I can buy Luther Gurlitt for 8 million." Zhuang Mingge immediately retorted, "Luther is a superstar, Djokaeff has only played once for the French team so far, and he is worth up to 3 million." ”

"Just because you only play once now doesn't mean you won't have a chance in the future."

'You're right, but Djokaeff is almost 26 years old, you and I both know that a player at this age has no potential, and he only made his debut for the national team last month, when France lost 3-2 to Israel, which shows that he has limited ability. Zhuang Mingge did not make the slightest concession, staring at Wenger, "Now that French coach Houllier has stepped down, no one knows whether the next national team manager will continue to use this group of players, Ginola has said goodbye to the national team completely, not to mention Djokaeff, a marginal person of the national team." ”

'Houllier's assistant coach Aimé Jacquet is said to be taking his place, which is a tradition in France, and it was he who proposed Djokaeff to join the national team. Arsene Wenger said, "Seven million, no less. ”

"5 million, and another 1.5 million if Fiorentina are promoted this season." Zhuang Mingge gave his own conditions, there are still many places where he wants to use the money in his hand now, and he can't spend it casually, and as long as the events in his memory happen as scheduled, every dollar now will become a hundred dollars in the near future, or even more.

"It's impossible for us to accept the instalment payment, the club is going to use Djokaeff's transfer fee to strengthen the squad now, 5 million is simply not enough." Arsene Wenger bluntly showed his hole cards, "6.5 million, it must be paid in one lump sum, otherwise I would rather keep Yuri (Djokaeff)." ”

Zhuang Mingge saw that Wenger was so resolute, so he had to agree to his offer, and when the two shook hands with each other, Zhuang Mingge decided to mention this coach whom he respected, after all, he has cultivated countless excellent players under his hands:

"Mr. Wenger, if you don't mind, I have a few very fancy French players here, but due to the limitation of foreign aid places, we can't bring in, but if you have time, you can send scouts to observe, I believe you will not be disappointed." Zhuang Mingge took a piece of paper from the conference table and wrote down the names of several players and the clubs they played for:

Zinedine Zidane, Bordeaux;

Claude Makelele, Nantes;

Vincent Candela, Toulouse;

Fabian Barthez, Marseille.
