Otherwise, Zhuang Ge is really going to introduce a Japanese player to Florence as a mascot on the basis of those conditions just made by Saburo Kawaguchi. Anyway, it is and those deep-pocketed Japanese consortia strongly support it. Maybe Florence can make a lot of money from it …
"That’s right …" After listening to Zhuang Ge’s explanation, Saburo, who was in high spirits, was hard to feel depressed. After all, facing such a huge psychological gap, everyone had to take a break. "That is to say, if you want to transport Chinese players to play in Serie A, you must find a club that has not introduced non-EU players this season. Is that right?"
"That’s right, but as far as I know, ten teams in Serie A seem to have spent all their places." Zhuang Ge shrugged his shoulders and said that he could do nothing about it
"So what do you suggest, Chairman Corleone?" Saburo Kawaguchi’s voice is a little shaky, and it is too far away from European football. Although he has heard of the Bosman Act, he has really not done a careful study on the specific implementation of European countries.
"If President Chuanyuan is sure that he wants to transport nakata hidetoshi to Serie A, I think you’d better make all the preparations now," Zhuang Ge said slowly, taking a sip of water. "Otherwise, God knows if those teams have any other goals by next summer."
Chapter 4 Day trip (3)
"Then I will please you! Chairman Corleone! " As soon as Kawaguchi Saburo heard Zhuang Ge say this, he quickly bowed to the other side and tried his best to please him, because he knew that he could help himself now. I’m afraid only GM, which almost unified Italian star resources, could do it.
It’s not that Kawabata Saburo can’t find a way to transport Japanese players to play in the other three major leagues, but compared with the previous ones, Zhuangge Kawabata Saburo is even more confused about other leagues; And anyway, Serie A is now the first league in the world. Of course, if you want to learn the advanced ideas of European football, you must learn the best. Why go to some other three major leagues? This is the opinion of Japanese footballers in this period.
"Ha ha, since you said so, Chairman Chuanyuan, let’s discuss a concrete combination now …" Zhuang Ge said to Chuanyuan Saburo with a smile on his face.
Finally, before the end of this meeting, Zhuang Ge and Kawaguchi Saburo reached two verbal agreements. The first one is that the Japanese Football Association will provide funds for Florence to train one or four players from nakata hidetoshi, Ono Shinji, shunsuke nakamura and Inamori for half a year. On the day, the Football Association will give Florence a sponsorship of 30,000 US dollars, with a total value of 120,000 US dollars.
As for the source of funds, it is not the responsibility of Florence. Let Kawasaki contact those who want the Japanese Football Association to pay on time, and Florence will implement all the provisions of the agreement.
The second agreement is that Zhuang Ge will promote nakata hidetoshi to Serie A teams through GM, and strive to get the midfielder to join a Serie A club after the transfer door is opened in the summer of 2008. After the completion, GM will get an intermediary of 50,000 US dollars, and the matchmaker Zhuang Ge will get half of it.
After the meeting, Zhuang Ge was already sleepy, and saw off Chuanyuansaburo at the door. Then he hugged Karin and went back to his bedroom. During his sleep, he also looked at Little Groz’s resentful eyes. The latter was so angry that it was a slap in the face of the pillow in his room …
However, Saburo Kawaguchi did not feel sleepy at all. He took his own hand and worked all night with a messenger. In just two days, he raised $10 million and remitted the money to Florence.
At the same time, Kawaguchi Saburo also found four players, including nakata hidetoshi, and told them to pack up and go to Florence for short-term training.
Nakata hidetoshi and others were too excited to speak after learning that they could go to the Florence club for half a year’s training. In their eyes, Serie A is suspected to be the best league in the world, while Florence, which won the triple crown last season, is suspected to be the best football team in the world today.
In particular, the Fiorentina midfielder is simply a star effenberg, djorkaeff, Lei Dongduo and Davies … which one is not a famous name in the world football? In the view of nakata hidetoshi and others, if they can go to Florence for training, they will have more opportunities to learn their advantages from these stars and improve their abilities.
When all these things have come to an end, the Fiorentina first-team players finally took the plane with Capello and arrived in Tokyo. Three days later, they will compete for the Toyota Cup, the last championship of the year, at the Tokyo National Arena.
The Toyota Cup, as its name implies, is a cup competition sponsored by Toyota Corporation of Japan. The two sides are the champions of the European Champions Cup and the South American Libertadores Cup respectively. Each team can get 150,000 pesetas, and the best player in each Toyota Cup can get a Toyota car.
This year’s Toyota Cup Florence will face two Argentine giants, Riverbed.
From the historical honor alone, there are many times more championship trophies in the honor room of Riverbed Club than in Florence. The record of 25 Argentine League titles, two South American Libertadores Cup titles and one Intercontinental Cup (predecessor of the Toyota Cup) dwarfs Florence, which has just been promoted to a European power.
There are many famous star in world football who have played in riverbed, such as Di Stifano, a famous real Madrid star, Sivori, that first Italian play who won the Golden Globe award in Europe (originally from Argentina, he joined Italian nationality), Passareira, the captain of the national team of Kempes, the hero who won the World Cup in Argentina in 7 years, goyechea "Feng" caniggia, the magical goalkeeper who attracted worldwide attention in the summer of 9 years in Italy, and francescoli, the king of Uruguay, who has just returned to riverbed from Europe.
However, the football match is not about who has a more brilliant history, but about the eyes.
The current head coach of Riverbed is Ramon Diaz, who was an excellent striker in his player days. He played in Florence for two seasons and scored 17 league goals before moving to Inter Milan, where the main striker helped the Nerazzurri win the latest Serie A championship so far.
Diaz, a head coach, likes cars as a reward to boost players’ morale. Although Toyota promised that the MVP could take a Toyota car, Diaz released a message before the game that the team would win the Toyota Cup and the players could take a BMW sports car by lottery.
For this game, Diaz riverbed has arranged a set of four-four-two starting goalkeeper Boggs, and the four defenders are H Diaz, Ayala (Paraguay is not known as the Argentine central defender), Berizzo and juan sorin, who has just experienced a failure in Europe; The midfield quartet is Monserrat, Astrada, the successor of the regarded king Diego Maradona, "Little Donkey" Ortega and "Uruguayan King" Enzo Francescoli; The striker is a combination of Cruise and Salas.
Capello, who has led the team to play in the Toyota Cup twice, has a certain understanding of the South American team spirit. In addition, there are two Argentine players (batistuta and Lei Dongduo) in Florence. They helped Capello get a lot of riverbed game videos before the game, so Capello, a lucky riverbed team like Diaz, will know everything about this opponent.
It is also in this way that Capello deliberately put on a steady counterattack in the game. The goalkeeper of the defense line is still toldo Roberto Carlos and Zambrotta separated from each other, and Starr and Lala partner in the middle; In midfield, the Italian coach sent three midfielders, Dibiagio, Davies and Lei Dongduo, leaving effenberg to organize the attack in front; The striker combination is batistuta and Ronaldo Capello. Obviously, it is hoped that these two strikers from South America can deal with the defense line of riverbed more effectively.
The war is coming.
Chapter 49 Day trip (4)
This Toyota Cup was scheduled for December 1, 1996, five days later than the decisive battle of Juventus in history.
This change is actually attributed to Zhuang Ge, a butterfly flapping its wings. It was just before he suggested that UEFA President Johansson made up his mind to expand the UEFA Champions League the year before, which greatly increased the number of competitions in the group stage. As a result, the Toyota Cup competition scheduled for the end of November was so good that it crashed into the UEFA Champions League.
Johansson, who has been committed to expanding the power of European football, naturally can’t allow Florence to postpone the Champions League and go to Wan Li to play what Toyota Cup and Johansson have a good friendship. Zhuang Ge also didn’t intend to turn against each other in this matter. Anyway, although FIFA is the boss of various football associations in name, it’s really not worthwhile for Florence’s head office to let go of UEFA.
In this way, Florence was postponed to December 1 after sending someone to negotiate with the organizers of the Riverbed Club.
It was soon the night of the game that Zhuang Ge didn’t expect that the entire Tokyo National Arena was almost the home of Florence!
See that the four stands of the stadium are almost full of fans with Florence logo, and many of them put a Florence home team on the outside to render the whole stadium purple; Compared with Florence, the number of fans supporting Riverbed Team is far less than that of Florence. Zhuang Ge saw a small number of fans wearing Riverbed Team jerseys in a corner of the opposite stand.
"Haha, Chairman Corleone, I wonder if you are satisfied with the atmosphere this evening?" Just as Zhuang Ge was dumbfounded at the scene in front of him, Kawabata Saburo entered the VIP box with a smile on his face.
"It turns out that this is the credit of Chairman Chuanyuan. I was just wondering when Florence had such a great appeal in Japan?" When I saw Kawabata Saburo come in, Zhuang Ge immediately reacted. What on earth is going on?
It must be Chuanyuansaburo, who quietly handed over the joint project of Florence and the Japanese Football Association to the Japanese people, which made the Florence club’s position in the eyes of Japanese fans soar in just a few days. In addition, the Japanese Football Association and a one-vote Japanese consortium built momentum in Florence in private, which made the Japanese people support Florence on one side.
After all, who is the Fiorentina Riverbed team who is close to Chinese football? I believe this is what most Japanese fans think at this time.
"I think President Corleone, you must be very interested to know how many riverbed fans have entered the stadium to watch this game?" Chuanyuansaburo is smiling smugly at this time. He is an old fox.
"Er, how many?" Zhuang song nature is curiously asked 1.
"According to the data from the stadium, 1,143 fans from Argentina came to cheer for the riverbed team, and the rest came to cheer for you."
It’s really sad that there are more than 1000 Argentines from afar who support Riverbed, an Argentine giant … Zhuang Ge thought gloomily that he didn’t express any objection to this. After all, these actions of Kawasaki Saburo are quite beneficial to Florence. Besides, it’s not a black whistle or a match-fixing, and he doesn’t need to say anything more.
Is it fair for the riverbed to do so? I’m sorry, Zhuang Ge thinks that he is not in the mood to sympathize with his opponent and make Florence and Italian football top in the world. This is his goal.
After the game, Florence immediately launched a fierce attack on the riverbed gate, because Capello’s strategy for the game was to play fast and speed up the pace of the game to deal with the riverbed team
After all, these South American players are all excellent if they are single-footed. They have long been accustomed to threatening the opponent’s goal with their personal skills and a little cooperation in the game. If Florence insists on competing with them in footwork or playing iron drums, it will definitely die miserably.
After all, the riverbed team has a combination of Ortega, francescoli, Cruz and Salas, which is more than enough to fight tough battles or play small skills.
The fast-paced attack exposed the fragile defense of Riverbed team directly to the Florence striker. Berizzo and Ayala could resist the joint impact of Batty and Ronaldo in the front, so that Florence could find the dawn of victory in this game.
Capello’s tactical arrangement made the Fiorentina players take the lead at the beginning of the game.
Only three minutes after the game, Lei Dongduo sent a 40-meter long ball near the middle circle. batistuta pushed the ball to the middle of the road and inserted Ronaldo from the back. Ronaldo shot the ball directly at a position about 20 meters away from the goal. The whole attack process was less than half a minute.
Diaz is not blind to Capello’s arrangement, but he can’t let his team control the midfield situation.
Although there is a midfield master like francescoli, Capello’s three midfielders have played a huge role at this moment. The defensive range of Lei Dongduo, Dibiagio and Davis can cover the whole center and backcourt, making riverbed players cautious when attacking.
What’s more, the Dutch wild boar once again played the role of an adhesive plaster today, closely following the 35-year-old king of Uruguay, apparently intending to let the riverbed team play its own rhythm and keep pace with Florence.
So on both sides, the players are ready to play fast-paced, and Florence took the lead in scoring!
In the 24th minute of halftime, effenberg didn’t stop the ball, but decisively chose to divide the ball at the front of the restricted area. After Ronaldo successfully grabbed the ball, he immediately hit the high ball!
In the restricted area, batistuta made a header attack while running, but the God of War suddenly bowed his head and let the ball fly past his head after attracting Ayala and Berizo’s attention!
Ayala and Berizo were shocked when they saw this scene! Because they know they were cheated by buddy!
At this moment, Roberto Carlos, who inserted the assist from the left high speed, received the ball from Batty in the restricted area, and let the ball come from about 10 meters away from the goal and slammed the door vigorously!
The ball roared past Boggs and flew over the riverbed. The goalkeeper waved his arm and then he heard the rub between the ball and the net!
Florence leads by one! A solid step towards the first Toyota Cup champion in the history of the club!
