With Madavecchia and Bresciano out of the way, let's take a look at a few other Fiorentina players who have confirmed their departures.
Andrea Fortunato, the former Italian left-back hopeful star who emerged from leukemia, opted to retire at the end of the season. He is about to turn 28 years old, and in the golden age of professional footballers, he had to bid farewell to the green field he loved because of his physical fitness and the sharp decline in his competitive state, which caused many fans to sigh.
After all, as Maldini's former successor, Fortunato was very favored when he first debuted, and he sat firmly in the position of Juventus' main left-back at a young age. If it weren't for the sudden leukemia that knocked out Fortunato, he would not have been able to announce the end of his playing career at this age, and maybe he could have played in last year's World Cup in France with the Italian national team!
However, the development of events will not be transferred by people's will, and Fortunato will not be alive and well on the pitch again because of people's nostalgia, so the fans can only wish Fortunato all the best in his future life.
To the comfort of the fans, Fortunato did not have to worry about life after his retirement, as many of his predecessors did because the Fiorentina club offered him a contract on the day he announced his retirement, appointing him as the coach of the Fiorentina youth team, allowing him to start from the ground up.
Fortunato was very moved, but not surprised, because when he told Antonioni that he had decided to announce his retirement at the end of the season, he was invited to continue playing for Fiorentina in a different capacity. After much deliberation, Fortunato finally accepted Antonio's appointment, and now it is just a matter of fulfilling the agreement reached between the two parties.
Having said that, Fortunato knew in his heart that the reason why Fiorentina was willing to give him a letter of appointment for him who did not yet have a coaching certificate was a kind of benefit, a kind of special provision for players like him who had contributed to the Purple Lily, so that they could still have enough living resources after retirement, which was equivalent to a special form of pension insurance.
And this kind of treatment is almost impossible to come by other teams in Europe, and if there is, it will only be offered to those who are more famous and have a higher reputation within the club.
It is precisely for this reason that Fortunato was very moved by the club's very humane approach, and also made him determined to prepare for the next coaching qualification certificate and use practical actions to contribute to the construction of Purple Lily's youth training.
(Note: Fortunato has not yet passed the guò coaching exam, so it stands to reason that he is not eligible to apply for the youth coach of Fiorentina.) However, as long as he blatantly serves as the head coach of all echelons, the Italian Football Association will not take the initiative to take care of this kind of thing under normal circumstances. )
Fortunato, who announced his retirement, joined the coaching team to contribute to Fiorentina's youth development. On the other hand, after receiving the news that Di Livio and Kaladze have joined Fiorentina, Swiss midfielder Vogel submitted a transfer request to the team, as both new signings can play in the defensive midfield position and are above him in terms of quality.
So, as much as Volger loved his time in Florence, he decided to leave the Renaissance capital and venture elsewhere for the sake of playing time.
As for Di Natale, who was originally the fourth striker in Fiorentina's first team, he nodded in agreement with the club's decision to loan him to Vicenza for a season, and was ready to go to the Fiorentina satellite club in Serie A for a season to hone his strength.
The reason why Di Natale agreed to be loaned to Vicenza is because Vicenza, as the winner of this season's Cup Winners' Cup, has the qualification to participate in next season's European Cup Winners' Cup, which is not a small ** for Di Natale; On the other hand, it is because the members of the first team in Vicenza have been more or less recruited by the quadripartite clubs after the end of the season, and many of them have chosen to fight with these teams in the face of high salaries and status. Especially for frontcourt players such as Larsson and Kanchelski, due to the position and attention on the field, after winning the Cup Winners' Cup in a row, it is obviously impossible for them to continue to nest in Vicenza, which has entered a bottleneck.
Therefore, Di Natale chose to join Vicenza, with great hopes of playing in a team that is about to fall apart and getting enough opportunities to play.
Having said that, the Vicenza players who were selected by the big clubs are still in good spirits, and they did not threaten the club to let them transfer at a low price, but used a relatively neutral attitude to watch their transfer progress. After all, in any case, it was Vicenza who cultivated them, so they had to repay Vicenza for this kindness with a large transfer fee. Moreover, the high transfer fee can also prove the importance that the new owner attaches to him.
Seeing that there were more and more hungry wolves around Vicenza, Zhuang Mingge finally decided to let go and allow other teams to share this part of Vicenza's resources after discussing with Antonioni and other club executives. After all, the tigers are hard to defeat the wolves, and although the forces of Florence and Zhuang Mingge are strong enough, it is quite a hateful thing to monopolize so many high-quality resources.
As the saying goes: if you don't accumulate virtue in ordinary times, the wall will fall down and everyone will push it. When the resources in your hands are coveted by more and more people, it is not a wise choice to share some less important parts with others, and change the relationship between the two sides from antagonism to cooperation.
And if Fiorentina is invincible on the football field, and has a lot of high-quality resources off the field but refuses to share them with others, then sooner or later the purple lily will be attacked by the crowd because of this, and finally nothing will be left.
Zhuang Mingge didn't want to bring too much hatred to the team because of this kind of thing, making Fiorentina a thorn in the side of many giant clubs, and then causing some things to happen that were not good for Purple Lily.
After all, the water in European football is also very deep. Just like Manchester City in the previous life, this rootless local tyrant team wants to enter the circle of Europe's top clubs, hasn't it hit its head and broken blood? The Premier League champions Blue Moon did not even qualify for the Champions Cup group stage, which was a big joke. If you want to say that there is no greasy thing in this, Zhuang Mingge didn't believe it.
Therefore, you can't be too greedy, you must know how to stop in moderation.
