"Of course!" Florentino, who was angry by the Real Madrid players' appearance on the field, seemed a little out of shape, and said without hesitation, and did not shy away from it because it was Zhuang Mingge, an outsider, who was sitting next to him, "In my imagination, Real Madrid should have the best players in the world and play the most beautiful football!" Real Madrid's game should be elegant and artistic at all times, and full of attacking power and desire to win on the field, with a suffocating attack to crush the opponent who stands in front of us! ”

Listening to Florentino's slightly fanatical and arrogant declaration, Zhuang Mingge was not angry, because he felt that the scene in front of him was a bit familiar.

By the way, he really looks like six years ago, when he did not hesitate to go against his father's family motto and was planning to buy Inter Milan's control from Pellegrini!

(Note: Massimo Moratti's father, Angelo Moratti, the founder of the Grand International era, sold his stake in the Nerazzurri in 1968 at the height of Inter Milan, leaving behind the motto "Don't let the Moratti family show their heads again".) )

However, although Florentino is an avid Real Madrid fan and willing to work hard for Real Madrid's strength, he is still a businessman at heart, and while bringing in a large number of established stars to Real Madrid, Florentino can still keep the traditional Spanish club at an astonishing profit. In this regard, he is fundamentally different from Mo Da Lao, the "chairman of the fans".

For Moratti, as long as there is a possibility that Inter Milan can be restored to the glory of the big international era, then he will do whatever it takes to recruit big-name stars and coaches, never considering the cost and financial burden of doing so. Moratti's reckless behavior can be said to be his love for Inter Milan, but it also makes Inter Milan under his control have a huge reputation in the world, but it is in a state of continuous loss. This situation forces the boss to spend a lot of money in the transfer market every year, and also to pay out of his own pocket to fill the club's financial black hole.

Florentino is different, in the era of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, although he paid great attention to market development and the club's brand image, he played the superstar card like Moratti, but while bringing Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham and other big-name stars to Real Madrid, it also made the La Liga giants change from the debts of the Sens era to become the richest club in the world in one fell swoop!

Therefore, don't look at the late era of the Galaxy Battleship, Real Madrid has been dreaming of eight consecutive years in the Champions League, and has been suppressed by its rival Barcelona in China, but in terms of gold absorption and profitability, no club in the same era can compare to Real Madrid!

What is the most important thing for a club? Of course, it's sustainability, which is profitability! No matter how good the results are, it is only temporary, and if a team's financial income cannot support its daily expenses, then sooner or later they will follow in the footsteps of Leeds United and Lazio! In this regard, Florentino did a much better job than other club managers of his time!

(Note: Leeds United used to be a member of the traditional powerhouses of English football, but at the beginning of the 21st century, it introduced Ferdinand and other stars with the golden dollar strategy, and used it to successfully reach the Champions League semi-finals in the 01-02 season to make a name for itself, but soon after it was forced to sell a large number of main players at a low price due to insolvency, and finally ended up in a Premier League relegation and the club almost went bankrupt; Lazio, who had fallen into a serious financial crisis after Cragnotti's high investment did not pay off in return, would not have had the end of the Blue Eagles much better than Fiorentina in '02 had not come forward without Lotito's step up and the government's help. )

After all, there are only a handful of owners who are willing to invest large sums of money regardless of costs and losses, and most teams are self-financed by their own skills.

While Zhuang Mingge pondered the similarities and differences between Florentino and Moratti, the first half of the match between Real Madrid and Fiorentina had ended at Friske's whistle, and the Purple Lily, who visited the Bernabeu Stadium, temporarily led the home team 1-0 thanks to Vieri's goal.

Seeing the game enter the half-time stage, Florentino, who had been tortured for nearly 20 minutes by the cowardice of the Real Madrid players (Florentino's personal point of view), could no longer sit still, got up to say goodbye to Zhuang Mingge and left - it was clear that the shrewd businessman had come to his own conclusion about the game, and that it would be difficult for the Blancos to maintain their home advantage in front of Fiorentina at the end of the game.

Therefore, in order to avoid any more gaffes in front of Zhuang Mingge, but also for the sake of his own mood, and more importantly, to avoid being rumored unfavorable to him by someone with a heart, Florentino decisively chose to leave early at this time, and quietly left the Bernabeu stadium under the cover of a group of cronies.

Having said that, if Florentino is successfully elected president of Real Madrid in the future, no matter how bad the team's performance is, he will never make a move to leave the field early in front of outsiders - after all, as the president of the club, leaving early in front of his peers is quite a good move, and it will also leave a bad impression on the other party that he is cautious and cannot afford to lose, which will have a rather negative impact on the image of the club.

After a fifteen-minute break, the game resumed, and Bosque clearly learned the lessons of the first half, allowing his team to step up their attacking efforts as the second half began. Of course, the disadvantage of being down by one goal was also the main reason for him to make this change, if the current leader was Real Madrid, then the firefighting coach would have made the team strengthen their defense and then wait for a few fast horses on the side to play Fiorentina on the counter-attack.

Although Real Madrid, who stepped up their attack and lifted the tempo of the game, pulled one back in the 67th minute by their Prince Raul, the goal from Real Madrid's golden boy could not bring Fiorentina back on the same page.

Because just ten minutes before this goal, Shevchenko staged a good performance, and the Ukrainian, who suddenly started in the middle circle of the stadium, sent the ball into the gate guarded by Casillas after passing Salgado, Elgra and Karanka in succession, helping Fiorentina to extend their lead further!

Shevchenko's solo ride obviously hit the G-spot of Real Madrid fans, and after witnessing this wonderful individual performance of Ukraine's nuclear warhead, nearly 80,000 Real Madrid fans at the scene collectively gave Shevchenko warm applause!
