As one of the most famous and wealthy of Russia's many oligarchs, Berezovsky is well known in Europe despite his presence in Moscow. Therefore, when the news of Berezovsky's entry into Sampdoria FC was officially announced, the shock that this news brought to European football can be imagined.
Those clubs who are already in Serie B may have a better mentality, because they know very well that teams like Sampdoria that have been relegated from the top league, even if they were poached by other teams in the summer, and even the main scorer Montella transferred to Roma, but its foundation as a former Serie A powerhouse is still there, and the overall strength can still stabilize most Serie B teams.
What's more, Sampdoria now has a very rich owner, and the Russian tycoon has also said that he will do whatever it takes to bring Sampdoria back to the glory of the old Mantovani era, and at the same time spend a lot of money to build the team. As a result, many Samp players who were fluctuating changed their minds under the power of the ruble and decided to play in the second division with the team for the previous year, and then see the situation first.
With the combination of these conditions, Sampdoria have a very good chance of getting a promotion spot at the end of the season.
In this case, these Serie B teams have no intention of playing against Sampdoria at all, after all, the other two teams that have been relegated from Serie A, Salernitana and Perugiaco, are regulars in the second division, and once they are relegated, their strength will drop significantly. In their very pragmatic opinion, it is more reliable and safer to fight for the remaining two and a half promotion spots instead of fighting with the Sea Blue Army.
(Note: The top three teams in the Serie B table qualify for promotion, while the fourth place team needs to play a play-off against the bottom fourth place in Serie A that season, so after removing the one place occupied by Samp, there are only two and a half places left.) )
In fact, it is the Serie A teams that are really worried about Sampdoria. Especially those clubs who have witnessed Fiorentina's rebirth after a tragic relegation, and who have taken a leap from a second division team to a worthy hegemon in European football almost a year, Sampdoria have a good chance of becoming a second Fiorentina.
After all, Sampdoria's current situation is too similar to that of Fiorentina back then, the same unexpected relegation from Serie A, the same change of rich owners after relegation, and the same sale of a large number of players after relegation, these similarities make people can't help but have a doubt in their hearts - will Sampdoria really become the second Fiorentina?
Now the competition in Serie A is fierce enough, after all, there are only a few European places, but there are many more teams that have the strength to compete for European qualification, such as the seven sisters of Serie A led by Fiorentina, as well as the backbone of Serie A such as Vicenza and Udinese, and of course, counting the occasional dark horse and so on.
Therefore, if Sampdoria re-emerges at this time, it will undoubtedly make the competition within Serie A even more fierce, and it may even surpass the European Champions Cup, which is the top competition among European clubs!
However, one difference is that Sampdoria also have loyal players who are willing to share the ups and downs of the team, such as veteran Manini and Brazilian international Doriva, but these players are clearly not comparable to the Argentine god Barty and the German tiger Effenberg in the Fiorentina team in terms of ability and personal prestige.
So, these teams are only showing strong interest in Sampdoria's rise at the moment, and are not opposed to the acquisition - after all, football is not something that can be played with money alone, as you can see from Moratti's Inter Milan.
At the same time, after seeing the news that Sampdoria was successfully acquired by the Russians, Zhuang Mingge, who was taking Karin and Rebecca on a yacht in the Aegean Sea, couldn't help but sigh: "In less than six years, the golden Samp that Mr. Paul Mantovani has worked hard to build for more than ten years has been tossed into this way by his loser son." I don't know when we'll see Sampdoria back at the top. ”
"I don't think it will be too long." Little Groz, who was wearing a set of bikinis, stretched out on the recliner and said with a lazy face, "In order to expand his influence in Western European countries, Berezovsky will definitely invest heavily in Sampdoria, and with sufficient financial support, I believe that Sampdoria will have the strength to compete for the championship in a few years." ”
"I hope so." Although the rise of Sampdoria will give Fiorentina another competitor in Serie A, Zhuang Mingge is not too worried about this, after all, the overall competitiveness of Serie A is also what he wants to see, "However, what I am most concerned about now is not Sampdoria." ”
"What's that? Hmm......" Before Little Grotz's words were finished, his lips were gagged by Zhuang Mingge, who turned into a werewolf, and the two of them turned clouds and rain in broad daylight.
……
What Berezovsky will do after taking charge of Sampdoria is not something we are going to discuss now, but the conversation will turn back to Vicenza, which has become a supermarket of stars.
After selling Toney to Roma, Vicenza sold several more players over the next half month.
First up was the $6 million move to Juventus by wide winger Ambrosetti, who believes the left winger could effectively provide the team with more tactical changes, replacing the wide void left by Di Livio's departure, while also sharing the pressure of being surrounded by Pierrot and Zinedine Zidane.
Then, after a season at Vicenza at right-back, Lauren opted to join Arsenal this summer, with Arsene Wenger shelling out £5 million for the Cameroon international – a pretty good price for a defender.
In addition, AC Milan acquired Mofeo for $10 million, and it is unclear how Zaccheroni, who has never played a traditional midfielder, plans to use the notoriously stubborn young midfielder......
While selling players in large numbers, the top management of Guidolin and Vicenza are not idle, and they are equally active in finding suitable players in the transfer market. With the support of Zhuang Mingge's "friendship", they brought in Di Natale on loan from Fiorentina for free, while also buying Australian versatile Bresciano to supplement the attacking line with a large loss of personnel.
In this way, counting C. Lucarelli, who stayed in the team, Vicenza finally managed to put together a set of offensive tridents.
