The reason why Zhuang Mingge thought about it this way was mainly influenced by some news he had seen in the years before the crossing.

Ambrosini, who succeeded Maldini as AC Milan captain, was sent to Fiorentina at the end of his career, and Frank Lampard, the "magic lamp", was also loaned to Manchester City by Chelsea at the last minute...... Countless players who have contributed most of their careers to a particular club have been ruthlessly kicked out by their old clubs after they have lost their competitive value in old age.

Although some people leave for playing time, Zhuang Mingge doesn't think everyone is like that. For example, Ambrosini and Guti are willing to stay at AC Milan and Real Madrid to play as substitutes even in their prime time, but with their love for Milan and Real Madrid, how can they still worry about playing time when they are old?

Therefore, there must be other factors in this, such as the conflict between the player and the manager (Ambrosini), the personal wishes of the club president (Raul and Guti), the saving of the club (Frank Lampard), etc., these factors will affect the club's transfer decision, so that the club's management can make a decision to send away these old ministers who have made great contributions to the team mercilessly.

However, such a decision, while seemingly sensible, not only cuts unnecessary salary spending, but also reduces the likelihood of conflict erupting in the dressing room. But don't forget, this will also reduce a player's sense of belonging to the club, after all, no player will fight for a team that will choose to abandon him when his form is no longer riddled with injuries.

Therefore, Zhuang Mingge intends to set up Di Natale as a model, so that everyone knows that as long as the player who has made great contributions to the team, as long as they express their willingness to stay in the team and continue to play after they are old, then even if the player has declined in ability and cannot continue to play for the team, Fiorentina will definitely pay a lot of salary to support him, until the player himself decides to leave or choose to retire!

This is also a special benefit for Zhuang Mingge to those players who have contributed to Fiorentina, anyway, with Fiorentina's current ability to attract money, it is also a good thing to raise such a group of players who can't play, but can help the team in other aspects.

Although Serie A has a rule that each team can only submit a list of up to 25 players, this restriction is only valid for the league and not in the Coppa Italia. When the time comes, as long as these players are used as the backbone to compete in the Coppa Italia, and they are allowed to pass on those valuable game experience to the young people in the youth team, then presumably they will not make any trouble.

After all, Ken stayed at Fiorentina in this situation, and he was basically the kind of old courtier who was loyal to the team and understood things.

While Zhuang Mingge was actively planning, Capello was on the training ground supervising the pre-match preparations of the first-team players.

Despite the excitement of Fiorentina to complete the feat of winning five consecutive league titles, Capello did not leave time for his players to celebrate, because in three days' time, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, which will determine Fiorentina's progression, will be played at the Stade Frankie!

It was 7 p.m. on May 5, when the stands at Frankie Stadium were packed. With the strong cooperation of all parties, Fiorentina made full use of the advantage of the home game this time, except for more than 3,000 Bayern fans who came from afar to huddle in the corner of the stands to cheer for the visiting team, the rest of the space was filled by Fiorentina fans, dyeing the entire stadium purple on behalf of the home team!

On the Fiorentina side, Capello sent the strongest lineup in his eyes: goalkeeper Toldo, the four defenders are Carlos, Nesta, Stam and Zambrotta, Makelele and Redondo form a double midfielder, Gattuso continues his role as a midfield bodyguard, Effenberg is responsible for commanding the overall situation, and the forward line is the relatively dexterous combination of Ronaldo and Big Inzaghi, in order to maximize the weakness of the Bayern defense's slow turn.

Looking at Bayern again, coach Heathfield is also the main force, and in order to ensure that the team can return to the Champions Cup final after a full 12 years, the coach has a set of five-three-two formation in this game, and it is clear that he wants to play Fiorentina's defensive counterattack!

Goalkeeper Kahn, three central defenders Thomas Link, Kufuor and Mateus lined up, Tanat and Strenz were separated, Jeremes played as a lone midfielder to protect the defence, Rui Costa was in the middle, Salihamidzic was on the wing, Zikler was the shadow striker, leaving the strong Jankel alone at the front as a tactical fulcrum and battering ram.

Drawing on Fiorentina's buggy attacking combination, Heathfield was bold enough to use a three-man centre-back in this game, as numerous examples have proven that they can be quite effective at keeping the opposition at bay when playing with a two-striker style. Although Jerry Hearts is the only one in the midfield position, the likes of Tanat and Strenz on the flanks have a pretty good ability to fill in the positions of their teammates, and their excellent fitness and running ability are enough to support them in helping Jeremes defend the middle of the game.

Tightening their own fences, coupled with Costa's passing, Salihamidzic's speed and breakthrough, and Yankel's bridgehead, Heathfield's defensive counter-attacking tactics for this game have basically taken shape.

By the way, don't look at the fame of these players of Bayern is not as big as Fiorentina's players, but they are not inferior to Fiorentina in terms of strength. Because at this time, Bayern Munich team has concentrated a group of the best players in the entire German football world, such as the former Stuttgart striker Elber, Basler, who is known as Super Mario, Hamburg's angel wings Salihamidzic, and the midfield star Jeremes cultivated by the city rival Munich 1860, etc., are all trophies of Bayern in the German domestic transfer market in recent seasons.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Bayern can become the most competitive team in the Bundesliga in Europe, because this team is built by the whole of Germany.

Being able to put together the best players in the entire country into one team is also what Beckenbauer and Hoeness have the ability to......

Having said that, if German football can't even cultivate this kind of people, then Mr. Beckenbauer will not have to waste his precious brain cells to implement any youth revival plans, and go directly back to Munich and Hoeness to play Bayern's version of the Galaxy Battleship.
