Chapter 489: Summer Recruitment Plan

After watching the Four Nations Invitational Tournament and having a good time with Rebecca in France, Zhuang Mingge returned to Fiorentina and prepared to start the team's next recruitment.

As before, Zhuang Mingge called Poirot, who is in charge of transfer negotiations, Antonioni, who is in charge of the club's athletic affairs, and the team's head coach Fabio Capello, to have a small meeting with the three to have a detailed discussion about the team's next recruitment work and goals.

"Boss, I think Romario is a good player, his tacit understanding and power with Ronnie in the forward line has been proven by actual battles, if we can bring him in, I believe the team's attacking power will be raised to another level." At the beginning of the meeting, Antonioni was the first to give his opinion, "Moreover, the Valencia club where Romario now plays for him does not take him very seriously, as evidenced by the fact that the lone wolf has only made five league appearances this season with the Bat Army...... So, I think now is the best time to bring in Romario. ”

"I don't think it's a good idea to bring in Romario." Without waiting for Zhuang Mingge to express his attitude, Capello took the lead in jumping out to object, "Although the forward combination of Romario and Ronaldo showed extremely strong lethality in the previous Four Nations Invitational Tournament, but now Fiorentina has excellent strikers like Philippe (Inzaghi), Gabriel (Batistuta), Christian (Vieri), and if you rashly introduce a lone wolf, I am afraid it will not help the team's combat effectiveness much. On the contrary, there is a high probability of causing disharmony in the locker room. ”

Zhuang Mingge agrees with Capello's opinion, and in his opinion, although the Rollso duo performed very well in the friendly against Italy, leading the Samba Army to a miraculous equaliser from three goals down, and they can also be called in the limelight in this invitational tournament, Zhuang Mingge does not think the idea of playing Romario is a wise choice.

In the case of Valencia, where Romario is now playing, the Bat Legion can be said to have proved to everyone the indiscipline of lone wolves with their personal experience. After joining Valencia, the lone wolf had a very good appearance in the first few games of the season, but the good times were short-lived, and the successive goals contributed to Romario's unruly temperament. As a result, the lone wolf, who regarded himself as a big-name superstar, began to specialize in the team, and it became common for him to be late for training or even not to participate in training. Valencia, of course, would not be accustomed to lone wolves, and after warning Romario, the lone wolf actually left the team and returned to Brazil on the grounds that he missed the beauty and barbecue of Brazil, forcing the Bat Legion to loan him back to Flamengo.

Suffice it to say, Valencia's $8 million transfer fee for Romario only paid four goals at the start of the season, and then it went down the drain.

Zhuang Mingge doesn't want Romario to stage such a play in Florence, you must know that Effenberg and Di Biagio in the team are both soft and hard, if the lone wolf in Florence after the introduction of Romario also poses like Lao Tzu is the first in the world and no one is a bird, Bao Buqi will be swarmed by these animals and beat him fat......

When the time comes, it will be the whole of Florence that will be disgraced.

"Fabio has a point, Romario is a big threat on the pitch, but he's a double-edged sword, and his personality is even more elusive than Stefan [Effenberg], at least Stefan is the kind of guy who will give you everything in return as long as you treat him well, and a lone wolf...... Hehe. Zhuang Mingge stopped talking when he said this, because he knew that even if he didn't say the next words, several people present would know what he wanted to say.

Antonioni thought about it carefully and found that it seemed to be the case, was Cruyff good to Romario? Very good! As soon as the lone wolf went to Barcelona, the Dutchman put him in the starting line-up, even at the expense of Salinas, the main scorer when he won the Champions Cup. But the result? After the World Cup in the United States, Romario was self-aggrandized, no one paid attention to him, and turned against his mentor Cruyff, and finally only played a good game for one season and was kicked out of Barcelona.

"Since no one is opposed, then I'll remove Romario's choice." Zhuang Mingge saw that Antonioni had figured it out and made a decision.

Poirot was supposed to speak next, but the general manager was better at negotiating with opponents than football itself, so he didn't give his opinion, but chose to skip and give the voice to Capello directly.

As for the team's current shortcomings, Fabio Capello, as the head coach of Fiorentina, can be said to have the most say, because the four people present are the ones who have spent the longest time with the players, and naturally know the team's current advantages and problems best.

"I think what the team needs most now is a versatile player up front, especially now that Yuri (Djokaeff) and Jasper [Glen Shire] have confirmed their departures, the team's wide strength has been greatly weakened, although we often play four-four-two, but just like in the Champions Cup final, we have to change the formation when we can't keep it, so it is imperative to bring in a player to fill the gap on the wing."

"Fabio is very reasonable, when we played four, three, three before, Ronnie and Jasper could launch an attack on the right side, and Yuri could pull to the left side to attack, but now two at once, it really needs to add some fresh blood." After listening to Capello's speech, Antonioni was the first to agree, "So, Fabio, do you have any good recommendations?" ”

"Hehe, I can only point out the team's current shortcomings, and it's better to leave this kind of thing to the boss." If it was someone else who presided over the transfer work, Capello might still fight for it, but in the face of Zhuang Mingge, who has an extremely sharp eye for people and has never looked at it so far, the gold medal coach is convinced in his heart.

If nothing else, but looking at the season when he coached Fiorentina, the players brought in by the owner are all worth the money.

Capello knew in his heart that Redondo's arrival might have some credit for him, but the players such as Carlos, Stam, Glen Charles and Cruise were all finalized by the chairman in front of him.

And except for Carlos, who was famous at the time, several other players were unknown before, but after joining Fiorentina, they all showed good potential: Stam took over from Firicano as the team's third central defender, Glen Char's high-speed breakthrough on the wing enriched the team's tactical changes, and Cruise scored six league goals in half a season, which he achieved as a bench substitute.

There are these successful cases first, so Capello is quite relieved about his boss's choice, and puts on a posture of absolutely obeying Zhuang Mingge's orders.
