The 1998-99 European season came to an end with Manchester United's victory over Bayern Munich in the final to win their second ever Champions League.

Just as people were still reminiscing about the Red Devils' magical comeback in the final moments of the game, and the two stoppage-time goals of Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's substitute strikers, a whispered gossip from nowhere drew the fans' attention away from Manchester United: Fiorentina, who had been silent in the transfer market before, suddenly made a move and made two important transfers with lightning speed. The Purple Lilies have brought in their main left-back Kaha Kaladze and ace goalscorer Andrei Shevchenko from Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv for $46 million!

Just when the giants of all walks of life were doubting the authenticity of this news, only two days later, Fiorentina and Dynamo Kyiv announced the transfer of Shevchenko and Kaladze on the official website at the same time, which immediately shocked countless people's jaws - Damn, this news turned out to be true!

As for the news of Kaladze joining Fiorentina, many teams are not very concerned. After all, despite the Georgian's reputation for his outstanding performances in the Champions League in the last two seasons, only a few teams have shown interest in Kaladze due to the limited position on the field.

Shevchenko is different, the forward position is the most noticeable on the field, and Sheva's performance in the Champions Cup is indeed very outstanding, and his sharp dribbling breakthrough and keen sense of smell in front of goal have made him attract the attention of major European clubs.

It's just that no one expected that the war in Europe had just been extinguished, and Fiorentina had already taken the lead and took the talented striker first.

Why are these Ukrainians so uncontrollable, don't know that when selling a good product like Shevchenko, more teams must participate in the bidding in order to get the most out of it? How could it be so light that it surrendered under the financial offensive of the Florentines? Said without any backbone.

The Dynamo Kyiv hierarchy is certainly not stupid, and they also know that they should bring in a few more teams to make it easier to get a high price. However, when Lobanovsky, who has a huge influence within the Kyiv Dynamo, came forward in person, and Shevchenko himself expressed a non-Fiorentina attitude, they naturally gave up these ideas - after all, now than before, if the player does not agree, there is absolutely no way to sell him to another team.

The most important thing is that they don't think that there is anyone in European football right now who can shell out a whopping $30 million for a young player who has only been in the Champions League for the past two years.

In this way, with Vieri, Inzaghi and Ronaldo already having three top strikers (poor Di Natale has been ignored), and Shevchenko, who is known as a Ukrainian nuclear warhead, has been introduced, Fiorentina's personnel reserves in the forward line have regained the confidence to crown Europe!

Stimulated by this news, the Serie A clubs that have basically completed the task of this season's competition are gearing up to start an arms race again in the coming summer, so as not to continue to play the role of accompanying the prince to study in the new season.

After all, no team aspiring to compete for the championship wants to see their head always on their head at the end of the season, so Fiorentina's dominance in Italy over the years has made many teams hold their breath in their hearts, and they are secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to come, so as to overthrow the hegemony of the purple lily in Serie A in one fell swoop.

While many managers of Serie A clubs are looking for ways to strengthen the squad under the stimulus of Fiorentina, Galliani, who represents AC Milan in Kiev to run Sheva's transfer, can be said to be the most disappointed person at this moment.

After learning from the news that Shevchenko had confirmed the transfer from Kyiv Dynamo to Florence at a sky-high price of 30 million US dollars, Galiani, who also came for the Ukrainian nuclear warhead and was waiting in a high-class suite for the Kyiv Dynamo side to send representatives to bargain with him, was dumbfounded, and did not even notice that the goblet with red wine in his hand fell to the floor.

"Damn, what the hell is going on? How could Shevchenko agree to join Fiorentina, is he crazy? I wonder if the presence of Vieri, Inzaghi and Ronaldo will greatly reduce his playing time? After a while, Galliani gradually recovered from his shocked state, and asked the assistants who came with him with him in charge of intelligence gathering and other work with a gloomy face, "Can any of you explain to me why in less than a week, someone from Fiorentina came to Kyiv to carry out Shevchenko's transfer, and actually completed the deal quietly under our noses?" ”

At this time, one of the bald's senior assistants stepped forward tremblingly and told Galiani the general story of the whole incident and some of the inside information he had spent a lot of money on.

"So, it's actually Lobanovsky's old guy who is getting in the way, which makes Shevchenko prefer Fiorentina more than our AC Milan?" After listening to the assistant's explanation, Galliani said with a gloomy face, "Also, I didn't hear you wrong what you just said, right?" Shevchenko, that kid, would rather go to Fiorentina to compete for Vieri and Ronaldo for a starting position than come to San Siro to be the absolute main force? ”

As he spoke, Galliani's tone couldn't help but start to become excited: "What a joke! We're the great AC Milan! AC Milan, which has set a record of 58 unbeaten games in the top league, won three consecutive Serie A titles, and reached the final of the Champions Cup for three consecutive years! How could Shevchenko, a hairy boy, make such an unwise choice! ”

"But, but, Mr. Galliani." The unlucky assistant who was sprayed in the face by the bald star still did not forget his job at this moment, and kindly reminded, "The last time we AC Milan lifted the championship trophy was five years ago, and in recent years there has been a lack of convincing results on all fronts. In particular, the removal from the G14 league last summer had a huge negative impact on the club's prestige. So, I think Lobanovski probably persuaded Shevchenko to stop thinking about joining our team. ”

"Alas, the wood is already in the boat, and it's too late to say this." The anger has almost disappeared, and Galliani, who knew that the matter was irreparable, sighed, and was about to call the big boss Berlusconi to plead guilty, "You all go out first, wait until I finish asking the boss for instructions, and see what new instructions the boss can have." ”
