Let's turn the time back to the day when Zhuang Mingge was in the office thinking about reinforcements.

In these days, it is difficult to find a player who is willing to play as a substitute and has no obvious weaknesses in attack and defense.

Pirlo, who Zhuang Mingge focused on cultivating, is too young, and he is not even an adult yet when he was born in 79! Zhuang Mingge didn't want to let little Pirlo be subjected to the brutal Serie A baptism for some bullshit accolades or the title of "genius": how many young football talents have died prematurely after becoming famous, before they reach the prime age of their careers?

For example, Owen, who announced his retirement this year, won the Premier League's top scorer in the 1997-98 season, when Owen was only 18 years old, and in the next few seasons, Owen was running on the field except for the time of injury, frequent participation in games and England's ferocious style of play made his legs scarred, and he had no extra time to reflect on his own shortcomings, so that Owen almost did not improve after becoming famous, and has been fighting against many defenders with his superhuman speed. Leaving Liverpool in the summer of '04 marked the beginning of the 'Chasing Boys' slip from the top, while the untouched serious injury in the Shijie Cup in '06 marked Owen's complete retirement from the ranks of top stars.

Therefore, Zhuang Mingge did not want Pirlo to repeat the mistakes of Owen, and now he has practiced eighteen martial arts under the guidance of Moniz and Mulensten, and has grown up healthy and healthy to become the "Italian Pele", which is what Zhuang Mingge wants.

Among Fiorentina's existing midfield substitutes, Davies' role is more like a midfield sweeper like Kripa, who can participate in the attack by inserting long-range shots when necessary; Costa is not inferior to Effenberg in terms of playmaking, but he is a big step behind in defense and running......

Czech iron man Nedved is a good choice, but don't forget that it was 1995, the Czech Republic had not yet joined the European Union, and Zhuang Mingge had just brought in Brazilian striker Ronaldo from PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and had already used up the non-EU quota stipulated by the Italian Football Federation......

"Tony, do you have to bring in players from abroad as a replacement for Stefan [Effenberg]?" Karin saw that Zhuang Mingge crossed out another player's name on the list, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't it possible to dig potential in the team?" ”

"Then you say who in the team can rotate Effenberg's position, Costa is a little worse defensively, Davis and Tacchinadi are not good offensively, Pirlo and Zanetti in the youth team are too young to let them play right now......"

"I said Tony, have you forgotten someone?" Karin looked through the player profiles on the table, in the absence of outsiders, she didn't look like a secretary at all, but more like a lazy cat, "Look at this person, how is he?" ”

"Damiano Tomasi?" Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this name, "Can he?" ”

I have to say that Zhuang Mingge at this time made the same mistake as many traversers, his brain was filled with those star-sddled stars in later generations, and he unconsciously ignored those powerful players who were slightly less famous.

At the time when he had just crossed, due to the restrictions on the number of foreign aid and the status of the team, Zhuang Mingge could still control his desire to be a first-class star very well; But with the advent of the Bosman Act and Fiorentina's double, Zhuang Mingge has some self-aggrandizement, and the introduction of Ronaldo and Davis is a product of this state.

It's not that they're bad, but in fact, a giant team can't just have countless stars, they also have players who are willing to be substitutes and green leaves, as evidenced by the collapse of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship in the future, and the departure of Makelele led to the complete collapse of Real Madrid's already fragile offensive and defensive balance......

Luckily, while Fiorentina now have a number of players who would go on to become superstars, in 1995 they were still unknown youngsters or up-and-coming stars. The only superstars in the team are Barty, Effenberg and Roberto Baggio, so the atmosphere in Fiorentina's team is quite harmonious right now.

Fiorentina's forward group may seem extravagant, but who can guarantee that Vieri, Inzaghi and Ronaldo will not be dissatisfied with their playing time once they grow up?

After Karin's reminder, Zhuang Mingge was somewhat aware of his "rashness": Perhaps, he should give Tomasi a chance to prove his ability?

After all, in Zhuang Mingge's previous life, Tomasi lived a very regular life, never made negative news off the field, and when he played for Roma, he was also recognized as one of the dressing room leaders.

And now in Florence, Tomasi, although he has not played much, but he has not made any dissatisfied remarks, and when he is on the field, he can always connect the team through his unremitting running efforts, no matter what the effect is, but this diligent attitude is worthy of the club to "take care".

As a result, Zhuang Mingge brought in head coach Ranieri and general manager in charge of athletic side Antonioni to ask their opinions on the club's recruitment and improving Tomasi's team.

'Boss, I think it's just right for the first team to keep this number at the moment, and if there are more, there is a good chance that there will be players who will not play enough time and cause disharmony in the team. Antonioni analyzed Zhuang Mingge from a professional point of view, "Moreover, even if the team has a small suspension or injury, Fiorentina can survive it with the current player configuration." As for the large area of ...... Hehe, after the boss you set up a physiotherapy center, the probability of this kind of thing happening can be said to be infinitely reduced. ”

"Boss, I don't have a problem, my job is to lead the team to win, it's not my job to bring in players." Over the past two years in Florence, Ranieri's style has become more and more like that of a good old man. And he never crosses the line at work, and for a strong boss like Zhuang Mingge who likes to interfere in the team's transfer work, Ranieri's "weakness" is crucial. If Fiorentina's head coach is Mourinho or Ferguson, then the club's work will not have to be carried out at all, and Zhuang Mingge will fight with the manager every day......

In this way, with Antonioni's statement and Ranieri's no opinion, Fiorentina's introduction of another substitute midfielder was shelved by Zhuang Mingge, and at the same time, Tomasi was "internalized" as the first substitute when Effenberg could not play for some reason.
