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.
As a direct consequence of Fiorentina's declining attractiveness to players, it is difficult for the Purple Lily to get special treatment from other clubs when competing for the same player, and they have to compete with other teams on the same starting line.
The worst part is that Fiorentina often make tentative offers for a player, and it doesn't take long for a whole bunch of contenders to jump out of nowhere and snatch their targets from Fiorentina. Gilberto Silva is a prime example of this, Fiorentina had just started transfer talks before Arsenal struck out with a diagonal stab and took down Atletico Mineiro and the player himself with a blistering quick move, stealing the Brazilian midfielder with a simple style of play and a willingness to do dirty work.
It can be said that it is a coincidence that such a thing happens once or twice, but if such a play is staged in return, even the most dull person will realize that there must be some hidden secrets in it. For example, the seller deliberately passed the news to other clubs in order to attract more competitors to join the battle and thus gain more interest in the transfer deal.
However, if this kind of thing is done by the other party, then it is obviously not appropriate from the point of view of time. Because those competitors appeared so quickly, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it was premeditated.
Therefore, after ruling out the possibility that this is the opposing club deliberately sending the news of Fiorentina's interest in its players to other clubs in order to sell their players for a better price, then there may be only one left, that is, within Fiorentina, there are spies planted by other clubs who are responsible for ventilating them!
Otherwise, Gilberto's kind of thing would not have happened to Florence again. What's more, the bids of those competitors are also very accurate, either exactly the same as Fiorentina or slightly higher than it, which shows that the other party is simply prepared and knows the price offered by Florence, so that the specific number of quotations can be so accurate.
Although Zhuang Mingge can be sure of the loyalty of Antonioni and other club executives to himself and Fiorentina, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and even Fiorentina will inevitably have spies secretly planted by Purple Lily's rivals. The existence of these people can allow these clubs to control the movement of Purple Lily in the transfer market at any time, so that they can cut off Hu at a critical moment and disrupt Zhuang Mingge's reinforcement plan, and use this way to weaken Purple Lily's strength as much as possible.
This can be seen from the fact that less than two hours after Zhuang Mingge asked Poirot to hand over a tentative offer of $30 million to Paris Saint-Germain in the name of bringing in Ronaldo, several clubs, including Juventus and AC Milan, also offered Ronaldinho exactly the same transfer fee.
Therefore, for this reinforcement, Zhuang Mingge naturally has to be cautious. In order to do the best job of secrecy, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of time and energy on those transfers that were not intended to be carried out to the last step to release smoke bombs to confuse other opponents, and even Antonioni and Poirot, who were "his own people" in the absolute sense, without notifying, only Karin ran to Bayer Leverkusen, who had just been poached by Hoeness and Ze Roberto, the two absolute main forces, and was ready to start a negotiation with Carmund on a transfer deal.
Although Antonioni and Poirot are indeed worthy of Zhuang Mingge's trust, the fewer people who know this kind of secret, the safer it is, after all, if someone accidentally leaks his mouth and is discovered by some well-intentioned people, and as a result, a large number of teams are attracted to join the competition, then Zhuang Mingge will want to cry without tears.
This time when he came to Germany, Zhuang Mingge's purpose was very clear, that is, to find a suitable replacement for Stam and Nesta, who lacked substitutes after losing the two central defenders of Hyypia and Ferrara. Lucio, a Brazilian international who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen FC, is the ultimate goal of Zhuang Mingge's trip to Germany!
"Tony, you went to such great lengths to buy this Brazilian centre-back named Lucio?" Sitting on the plane to Germany, Karin asked puzzledly, "Although Brazil successfully won the World Cup that just ended, Lucio's appearance in this World Cup is not stable, and he is indeed a world-class man-marking central defender when he is engrossed in the game, but if he is not in shape, he will easily fall into his own hands if he is too involved in the attack." ”
Regarding Karin's question, Zhuang Mingge did not feel the slightest surprise. Indeed, as a centre-back, Lucio has not done his job very well. In the quarter-finals between England and Brazil, it was Lucio's first-half mistake that allowed Owen to get his hands on the ball and speed it past before scoring a goal, leaving Brazil in a passive position in the game.
If Ronaldinho hadn't suddenly exploded in that game, helping Brazil successfully reverse the score with one pass and one shot, then Lucio would have been the culprit of the Samba Army's exit from the World Cup!
Although Lucio remained in the main position in the Brazilian team after this, it was seen as nothing more than a desperate move by coach Scolari to make the big man in the short list. After all, although Brazil is known as the kingdom of football, rich in offensive players with outstanding skills, far away from the ball king Pele, "White Pele" Zico, "Football Doctor" Socrates, "Roman Emperor VIII" Falcao, etc., and close to the "lone wolf" Romario, "alien" Ronaldo These world-class players, but the number of defensive giants it produces is scarce, that is, it has ushered in a prosperous era in the past ten years, with the magic wings of Carlos and Cafu, and has put together a reliable backline.
Otherwise, Scolari would not have been so distressed by Emerson's unexpected injury and would have had to sacrifice Gilberto Silva and Kleberson, a young duo with little to no major tournament experience.
It is precisely for this reason that after the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, most of the Brazilian internationals have received high-salary offers from all sides, and even players who were unknown before the World Cup, such as Gilberto and Kleberson, have also been given the opportunity to land in Europe. On the contrary, Lucio, a main member of the World Cup-winning team and a decorated player who helped Bayer Leverkusen win the Sanya king last season, is not in the limelight, and even Hoeness, who has just poached Frings and Ze Roberto at a low price, is dismissive of him, and has no idea of bringing him to Munich at all.
Therefore, for Zhuang Mingge, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Fiorentina to bring in Lucio!
