After the group stage against Gothenburg, the Fiorentina squad did not return to Italy, but flew directly to Tokyo International Airport in Japan, where they had to participate in the Toyota Cup in Tokyo, Japan, as last season's European Cup winners.

As for Zhuang Mingge, who is the president of the Fiorentina club, he came to Japan, a small island country in the Far East, a week before the start of the Toyota Cup.

For many reasons, especially in his previous life, as a citizen of the Celestial Empire, Zhuang Mingge did not have a good impression of Japan in his heart.

To be honest, how many Celestial Empire people have any bullshit affection for the Japanese?

Whether it is pulling the banner of the "shijie policeman" on the other side of the Pacific Ocean to seek the right to speak and more interests for himself, or refusing to admit the suffering they have brought to the people of the Celestial Empire, or even tampering with textbooks, claiming that fishing * fish * island is their inherent territory.

Well, how many people know that even the current Okinawa Islands in Japan were still called the Ryukyu Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty? Of course, it is estimated that no one will mention this matter now, after all, after the end of World War II, the Allies still included Ryukyu within the territory of Japan when they divided the fruits of victory.

Although the devils are very immoral in many things, Zhuang Mingge has to admit that at least in terms of football, these little Japan are more than 10,000 times stronger than Nan * Yong and Xie * Ya * Long.

At least after the professionalization of Japanese football, after nearly two decades of hard work, it has become a force that cannot be ignored in Shijie football. The Japanese national team has reached the Shijie Cup finals four times in a row since the Shijie Cup in France in '98, and two of them have reached the round of 16; Shinji Kagawa, Keisuke Honda and other players were already famous in Europe when Zhuang Mingge crossed, and countless European giants coveted them; As for the Celestial Empire national team and players? In addition to Guangzhou Evergrande, which is willing to spend money and will spend money, can also bring a little confidence to the fans of the Celestial Empire, the other Zhuang Mingge can only say hehe......

Gossip, this time Zhuang Mingge came to Japan, mainly because this Toyota Cup is an obstacle for Florence on the road to the "full championship", as the chairman of the club, he is not there to watch the game in person, it is a little unreasonable; And the second reason is that Zhuang Mingge heard that the devils seem to be planning to take the line of Fiorentina and continue their plan to develop Japanese football.

There are two reasons why the Japanese side is interested in Fiorentina, the first is that the two sides have cooperated in the short-term training of four players, Maesei Maezono, Hiroshi Kitazawa, Masayuki Okano, and Hiroshi Mingami, so the two sides still know each other, at least the Japanese side is sure that Fiorentina will not cheat people on this, and will not do anything after receiving the benefit fee given by the side.

Secondly, according to the feedback made by Masei Maezono and others after returning to Japan, the Japanese Football Association believes that Fiorentina, a club that is currently well-known in Europe, does have its own uniqueness in player training, and their advanced tactical thinking and scientific and rigorous training are indeed urgently needed by Japanese football now.

In other words, Florence has a Japanese value worth stealing.

Whose money is not earned? What's more, it's the money of the Japanese, of course Zhuang Mingge wants to be a black-hearted profiteer and make a lot of money from them!

Zhuang Mingge is not a fool, he knows a lot about the future development trend of Shijie football, of course he knows the Japanese side of the abacus, and when the time comes, he will naturally order his subordinates not to let these Japanese easily learn some of Florence's internal secrets. After all, he just wants to earn a check from the Japanese, but he doesn't really intend to carry forward his spirit to help Japanese football rise.

"Chairman Kawabuchi, I don't know if you specially invited me here this time, do you have any advice?" In a presidential suite at the Hilton Hotel, Zhuang Mingge and Saburo Kawabuchi, president of the Japan Football Association, were having a cordial and friendly exchange.

"Chairman Corleone, there are indeed some very important things that I would like to discuss with you." Saburo Kawabuchi put on a very sincere expression, and his tone of voice was also unusually humble, "I heard that Chairman Corleone, you are the biggest talker of GM Company, so there are some things to ...... below."

Tsk, don't you go straight to the point with those long and boring politeness, it seems that Saburo Kawabuchi has really put a lot of effort into the speaking habits of Westerners? Zhuang Mingge thought to himself, sure enough, the Japanese are all this virtue when they ask people to do things. When facing someone stronger than him, he will try his best to please you, try his best to absorb the advantages from others to strengthen himself, and when his waist is stiff, he will start to get around again.

However, then again, this old guy Saburo Kawabuchi really dares to say anything. Although those who play football in Europe will know that there is such a number one person as Zhuang Mingge among the behind-the-scenes bosses of GM, such a sensitive topic is never put on the table. After all, everyone is mixed in the football circle, and there are some things that can be known to each other, but they can't be said explicitly.

"Well, that, Chairman Kawabuchi, I think you might be misunderstood." Zhuang Mingge quickly interrupted Saburo Kawabuchi's words and said to the other party seriously, I am just one of the shareholders of GM Company, and I usually only have the right to propose the company's business in addition to that dividend, and the final decision is in the hands of Mr. Valentini, the general manager. I hope you don't get me wrong. ”

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry, I made a mistake, Chairman Corleone. "How could Saburo Kawabuchi, who is an old man, not hear the voice of Zhuang Mingge's words? The old fox immediately reacted to the undesirable elements in what he had just said, and then immediately made remedial measures, and at the same time stood up and bowed deeply towards Zhuang Mingge.

"Oh, Chairman Kawabuchi, there's no need to give me such a big gift." Zhuang Mingge hurriedly said to this old man that the other party was still doing such a big move at such an old age, and he was not afraid of any adverse effects on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.

However, Saburo Kawabuchi's action still won the favor of some people who did not know Japanese customs, such as Xiao Groz and Karin, who had been sitting next to Zhuang Mingge, these two beauties were stunned because of this special ceremony of the Japanese, and Zhuang Mingge could even see a trace of emotion called emotion in the eyes of the two.

It's no wonder that, generally speaking, Westerners who encounter Japanese people for the first time will more or less suffer in this regard, and will be disrupted by a bunch of etiquette from the other side, and as a result, Zuihou will be taken advantage of by the other party unconsciously.

However, Zhuang Mingge, who is a traverser, is not among them, and he will not obediently eat the sugar-coated cannonballs thrown by the other party when he is on guard against the Japanese.

At the very least, eat the icing and throw the shells back, right?
