Chapter 47 Player Introduction

At the same time as the press conference, Zhuang Mingge contacted Dr. Thomas Carter and, through his contacts in the United States, found a hospital that had a partnership with a research center specializing in leukemia treatment.

After the other party agreed to be in charge of Fortunato's treatment and rehabilitation, Zhuang Mingge left someone to take charge of the matter, and then said goodbye to Fortunato and left Turin.

Back in Florence, Zhuang Mingge and Karin sat in their offices and began to study the team's next signings in a thick stack of player profiles.

'We have already decided to lose Pexoto and Iuliano so that there are gaps in the team at centre-back and left wing-back.

'The centre-back we have already signed Ferrara from Napoli and this player is enough to take the Fiorentina defence up a notch. Zhuang Mingge said, "The key now is the vacancy of the main left-back, according to the diagnosis of experts, Fortunato's full recovery will not be until at least June next year, and it will take longer to recover to the physical condition that can participate in regular games. ”

Zhuang Mingge is right, in this era of foreign players playing restrictively, most of the positions in Italian teams are occupied by local players, once a player in any position transfers away, it will be a problem for the club to find a player who meets the requirements again.

A specific example can refer to Inter Milan, in the days after Facchetti's retirement, only Bremer was the only excellent left-back who played for Inter Milan, and the others were basically cheating, until Mourinho switched Zanetti to the left side to re-insure the left-back position.

'Cremonese's Francisco Colonnese is a good left-back and centre-back, and with 28 appearances for Cremonese this season, I think he'll be good enough for most of next season. Karin picks up a document from the pile of papers.

Zhuang Mingge recalled that in his impression, the player Colonnese seems to have played for Inter Milan and Lazio for a few years, and won the UEFA Cup as the main player when he was at Inter Milan.

"Colonnese has no European experience and Fiorentina will play in the European Cup Winners' Cup next season, so he can only be a candidate for us."

"How's Franceni in Naples?" Karin was quick to give another opinion, "The 31-year-old, who won the Serie A title in 1989-90 with Napoli, and who have been doing quite well this season at Napoli, are now in financial crisis and are selling players, so it won't be too difficult for us to bring him in." ”

Franceni? Zhuang Mingge is not impressed by this name, and this cannot be blamed on Zhuang Mingge, for Napoli in the Maradona era, ordinary fans will only remember how Maradona "bullforked", led Napoli against the top three in the north, and won two league championships......

But how many fans can tell what Napoli were when they won the title and who the manager was at that time?

Many stars have been overshadowed by Maradona's brilliance when they played for Napoli, such as Denapoli, who was the main midfielder of the Italian national team in the 1990 Shijie Cup, and he formed the most artistic midfielder in Italian history with Carlo Ancelotti, Giannini and Donadoni, and he is also the player who has made the most appearances for the Italian national team in the history of Napoli.

There are also Bagni (Italy's main midfielder in the '86 Shijie Cup), Careca (winner of the Silver Boot in the '90 Shijie Cup), Giordano (Italy's main striker in the '86 Shijie Cup), and so on, few fans can remember that they also had a glorious time at Napoli.

That's the sadness of playing with Maradona.

However, since Franceni can meet Maradona's picky requirements, I believe that the strength should be trustworthy, although the age of 31 is a bit old, but it should not be a problem to cope with the implementation of the Boseman Act in the winter of 95......

'Well, the left-back position is tentatively Francini.' Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge remembered one thing, "By the way, Sister Karin, who were the main defenders of Sampdoria when they played the Champions League final in 92?" ”

"The left-back is Marco Lanna, born on 13 July 1968 and moved to Roma in the summer of 1993; At right-back is Fausto Parry, born on 15 September 1962 and currently plays for Napoli like Franceni, in what we now know as Piertro Verjovod and Moreno Manini. Karin quickly found the information Zhuang Mingge wanted from a stack of materials, and handed these scouting reports to Zhuang Mingge, "Tony, don't you want to transplant Sampdoria's entire backline to our Fiorentina?" ”

"Sister Karin, you guessed it right, but it's a pity that there is no reward~" Zhuang Mingge was very proud that he was able to come up with this idea, "Lanna and Parry, the two full-backs, have quite a lot of experience in Europe, since they can play in Sampdoria, and they have also participated in the Cup Winners' Cup final in 90 and the Champions League final in 92, it shows that their defense is excellent, and Jishu is good enough, and they have been partners in Samp for several seasons, Coming to Fiorentina together will not be too many mistakes in terms of coordination. ”

"And Sensi has just become the president of the Club of Rome, Lanna is a descendant of the former president of Rome, Viola, and the old Sensi will not mind selling him; Napoli is suffering from another economic crisis, and Parry's transfer is also very likely to be completed. Karin analyzed, "But Villejoward and Manini aren't that easy to dig. ”

'As long as we can poach one of them, and, I believe, under Enrique's [Mantovani Jr.] manager, there is no player that cannot be sold."

The same was true of Mantovani Jr.'s performance at Sampdoria, where he indulged in the thrill of player transfer deals during his tenure as Sampdoria president, with frequent player changes in the team, completely disregarding the stability of the team itself, and finally tossing a top team into relegation from Serie A.

After determining the target, Zhuang Mingge called and instructed Poirot to ask Sampdoria for the price to open the transfer of Virjoward and Manini; As for the transfers of Parry, Lanna and Franceni, Zhuang Mingge arranged for several senior staff members under the transfer department to handle it.

However, when Poirot brought back Sampdoria's reply, Zhuang Mingge pouted and muttered: "Damn, there is still this good thing?" ”

Sampdoria's reply was: As long as you are willing to take Verjowald, we will give it away for nothing! On the fly in the ointment, Manini's move appears to have been met with strong opposition from Samp manager Christian Eriksen, so Fiorentina's offer failed to go through.

'If you can't come, you can't come, anyway, we have Filicano and Ferrara at centre-back. Zhuang Mingge said to Karin.

Lanna, Franceni, Virjoward, Ferrara, Filicano, Parry, Billindeli...... Fiorentina's backline for next season will be enough to make most Serie A managers drool.
