PS2: I asked for a recommendation vote here, saying that free books don't need everyone to spend money, so it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

Although Berti had been mentally prepared for her job search trip, he was disappointed in the results. Among the several clubs that Berti has played for, Tottenham Hotspur and Parma did not hesitate to reject his self-nomination immediately, because of financial problems, they are not willing to raise such a glass man who does not have many games but costs a lot of money; And Inter Milan, for whom he has played for a full decade, also said not long ago that he could not help, because Moratti has already stuffed the first team and there is no spare place for this veteran.

Therefore, Berti had to find Fiorentina with the last glimmer of hope, thinking that if he was not accepted here, then it would be better to honestly accept the invitation of the Qataris and go to West Asia to pan for gold.

Looking at Zhuang Mingge's side, after careful discussions with Antonioni, and then called Thomas Carter for some professional consultation, the decision to sign Berti was finally made.

After all, for Fiorentina now, the first team is actually more than enough to cope with the third-line operation, and only one or two more veterans who are willing to accept the position of last substitute can be brought in.

Berti is just right to meet Fiorentina's current needs, although due to long-term injuries and increasing age, the strength of the guide has dropped a lot from his peak, but the former Italy international can make up for the regression in his body with his rich game experience and increasingly sophisticated skills, not to mention that Fiorentina does not need him to play too many games, as long as he can get out of the basket in time when he is short of manpower.

Such a simple request, with Bertie's current level, can still be completed with quality and quantity.

As for the injury that has plagued Berti for many years, it is not a problem in the eyes of medical experts such as Carter. After all, the high standard of the Florence physiotherapy center is famous in Europe, and Ronaldo was found to have a hidden problem in his knee when he first arrived here, and the story of the successful recovery has now been widely spread with the name of the alien, and many players who are suffering from conservative injuries want to be able to receive treatment here. Therefore, keeping Bertie, who has limited playing time, in a healthy body, is not a very difficult thing for Carter and others.

You know, in the NBA, where the game density is higher, they have seen and cured injuries that are even more severe than this, and it is a piece of cake like Bertie.

August 31, 1999 was a very special day for Berti, who had already turned thirty-two, because on this day he returned to Florence, where he had been away for eleven years, to the place that made him famous.

Originally, he was already desperate to find a suitable job in a major European league, and was about to accept the invitation of the Qatar Football Association, who had been approached by the relationship of the GuòGM company, to go to the distant West Asia to find gold for two years, and then quietly announced his retirement.

It seems that I really can't keep up with the current trend of football, Berti thought in frustration, who has been rejected in a row.

However, just as Berti was about to pack his bags for Qatar, his former club Fiorentina gave him a big surprise at this time - his agent came to tell him that Fiorentina was willing to sign him with a two-year work contract.

After learning the news, even Berti, who had become extremely calm after the vicissitudes of life, couldn't help but be so excited that she almost jumped up from her chair!

Berti is so excited on the one hand because Fiorentina is where he has made a name for himself, and his three seasons there have left him with quite good memories, and it is better to be able to stay in mainstream football circles than to run to the football desert of West Asia; Fiorentina, on the other hand, are now one of the best teams in Europe, with only a handful of teams to compete with, and if they play for this team, they may be able to make up for the regrets they have been playing with at the end of their careers.

To say that Berti is really unlucky, although the golden period of his career caught up with the troika era of Inter Milan, but the birth of the Milan dynasty and the sudden rise of Fiorentina has only a few titles on the honor book now, and even the league championship has only been won once, that was ten years ago.

Therefore, Berti, who was sincerely satisfied with Fiorentina's offer, did not hesitate to sign his name on the contract - with less than 12 hours to go before the transfer door closed, he did not want to miss the opportunity to join Fiorentina by not being reported to the Football Association in time for some accident.

Zhuang Mingge is also very satisfied with this signing, because Berti played for Fiorentina for three years just before he turned 21 years old, so according to the regulations, the local player can be counted as a Fiorentina academy graduate.

As a result, Fiorentina's first-team squad has five academy players (the other four being De Sanctis, Zambrotta, Zanetti and Andrea Pirlo), which is above the minimum set by the Italian Football Federation, while also strengthening the proportion of homegrown players in the first team.

Zhuang Mingge will not forget Jì, the Inter Milan team that won the treble in his previous life still did not escape the fate of being criticized by the domestic media, and one of the important reasons is that the number of local players in the Nerazzurri team is too scarce. Although this is partly due to the fact that Mourinho is too capable of pulling hatred, many media outlets are reluctant to sing praises for the Nerazzurri. But this also shows a very important point, that is, the proportion of local players in the team must not be too low, otherwise it is easy to become a handle for being attacked, and the Football Association will often secretly stab the neck of those teams with too high a proportion of foreign aid.

Teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Inter Milan have all encountered difficulties from referees in many games, partly because these clubs have not done a good job of localisation.

Therefore, although Zhuang Mingge has made a lot of moves in the transfer market this summer, bringing in many strong reinforcements such as Sheva and Kaladze, he still has not forgotten this one, and the arrival of Di Livio and Berti is the best evidence.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina's first-team squad has grown to 24 with the free signing of free agent Berti (note: Vincent and Sun Jihai returned to Ajax after their trip to East Asia), with just one man shy of reaching the Football Association's maximum number of players. However, after consulting Heynckes, Zhuang Mingge gave up on signing another player in the hours before the transfer gate closed to bring the first team to full capacity, because the German coach felt that the existing players were enough for him to play in the third line.

According to Heynckes, if something really happens that causes the team to reduce the number of players, the remaining spot can also allow the team to make targeted reinforcements during the winter break, so as to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
