PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
In this way, after the news of Ballack's announcement that he would defect to Fiorentina for 35 million US dollars, an earthquake of magnitude 8 was immediately triggered in European football!
After learning the news from the media, almost all the team managers and coaches who are interested in winning the Serie A and Champions League couldn't believe their eyes, and scolded Fiorentina in their hearts: What kind of trouble are you going to make when you create such a perverted midfielder, and you won't let us live! Haven't you just been one season and all four have been empty? Why is it so breathless! Let's win two more championships, can't you rebuild again?!
Pirlo, Deco, Barak, Albertini, Makelle, Gattuso...... Together, even Real Madrid, the new European champion with two top superstars Zinedine Zidane and Figo, cannot match Fiorentina in midfield configuration!
The midfield that even Real Madrid can't compete with, coupled with the forward line led by Vieri, Ronaldo and Inzaghi, after Zhuang Mingge's return, Fiorentina's offensive firepower and midfield organization have been weakened for a whole season, and they have changed dramatically in less than two months!
Of course, as a club with a clear tactical mind and a strong focus on attacking and defending balance, Fiorentina certainly will not make the same mistakes that Real Madrid made in their previous life. Under the personal command of Zhuang Mingge, Antonioni and Poirot, who finally found the backbone, worked together to make frequent attacks in the transfer market and bring the players he needed to Heynckes.
It was only then that Zhuang Mingge realised his importance to Fiorentina FC: it is true that Antonioni, Poirot and Kenyon were all good players in their respective fields, but without him in the background, Antonioni, who had become accustomed to working under the command of Zhuang Mingge, often disagreed and could not convince anyone when making decisions.
It is precisely because Antonioni and his people have not been able to unify these differences that the pace of Florence's renewal in the past two years has been extremely slow. When Zhuang Mingge returned, Florence's first team even had only one Panucci, and one more Sun Jihai who was transferred from the second team!
If Zhuang Mingge comes back a few years later, according to Antonioni's work efficiency, Fiorentina will become another AC Milan and become a well-known grandfather team in Serie A.
But fortunately, it's not too late to make amends. Now that Zhuang Mingge, the top decision-maker in Florence, has returned, Antonioni can finally return to their normal level of productivity, and no longer have to waste their precious time over all sorts of trivial matters.
That's why, just a week after the summer transfer door opened, Fiorentina and their swift moves to take down Albertini and Ballack, and clear the likes of Shevchenko, Zanetti and Hyypia from the squad. If Zhuang Mingge didn't return, just by selling the above three, Antonioni and they would have to worry about it for a long time.
If Albertini and Ballack are the main dishes of Fiorentina in the transfer market this summer, then Di Natale, who has been training in Vicenza for many years and finally achieved positive results, and Vincent, who has attracted the attention of Heynckes with his excellent performances in the second team in the past two seasons, and finally successfully received a letter of transfer from the first team this summer, are the necessary starters and desserts for the Germans to cook a delicate meal.
The reason why the "Zidane + Pavon" policy vigorously promoted by Florentino in the previous life ended in failure was that several superstars (such as Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, etc.) were part of the reason for the decline in state due to age, but this policy had a huge impact on the team's little-known blue-collar role players and powerful stars (such as Makelele, Solari, Morientes, Cambiaso, etc.) and chose to leave the team, making the later Galaxy Battleship empty of fame and gorgeous attack, But it lacks the necessary glue and important rotations, as well as a defense that no team can afford to ignore.
So, in order to build a competitive team, only those main courses (superstars) and beautiful-looking side dishes (potential newcomers) are not enough, and starters and desserts (blue-collar role players and power stars) are also indispensable for a successful championship team.
Fiorentina, for example, at the height of the Purple Lily, Vieri, Ronaldo and Effenberg were the main dishes that caught the eye, while Claude Makelele, Zambrotta, Ljungberg and Gattuso were the lesser-known players who undoubtedly played a key role in all positions of the team. Without the silent dedication and sacrifice of these players who are willing to be green leaves, how could there be the infinite scenery of the red flowers such as Vieri and Ronaldo?
In addition to bringing in Di Natale and Vincent, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been trained at Benfica for many years, also returned to Fiorentina this summer. However, unlike Vincent, the seventeen-year-old Ronaldo was immediately transferred to the first team by Heynckes after a long loan spell and became part of Fiorentina's campaign for the new season.
At this time, Ronaldo has won a lot of popularity in Portugal with his extremely gorgeous dribbling skills and handsome appearance, and even some Portuguese media began to rank him with Ricardo Quaresma, who is known as the "new Figo" at Sporting Lisbon, believing that these two talented and talented new stars have the ability to assist the golden generation led by Figo and Rui Costa, and help the Portuguese national team make a historic breakthrough in the European Championship held on home soil two years later!
And Ronaldo himself is very happy to be able to return to Fiorentina. In an interview with the media, the young Portuguese winger said that it has been a dream of him for a long time to be able to play for the Purple Lily in the Fiorentina shirt, and now, he has finally waited for the moment when his dream will come true!
For Cristiano Ronaldo, although the Benfica club took care of him during his multi-year loan spell, he never forgot that it was Mr. Antonio Corleone who unearthed him from the small fishing village of Madeira and lifted the family out of poverty, no longer having to work as a fisherman, and had a more stable and prosperous life.
It is precisely for this reason that Ronaldo resolutely chose to refuse in the face of Benfica's covert solicitation. In his eyes, the Florentine president's kindness to their family can be said to be unforgettable, and he himself has been vigorously cultivated since he was a child, if he defects to Benfica because of the temptation of money, then he himself will not be able to forgive himself in the first place!
