At the same time as the press conference was held, Zhuang Mingge contacted Dr. Thomas Carter and through his connections in the United States, he found a hospital, which had a cooperative relationship with a research center specializing in the treatment of leukemia.

After the other party agreed to be responsible for the treatment and rehabilitation of Fortunato, Zhuang Mingge left a dedicated person to take charge of the matter, then said goodbye to Fortunato and left Turin.

Zhuang Mingge and Karin, who returned to Fiorentina, sat in the office and began to study the team's next signings in a thick stack of player information.

"We have determined to lose Pesotto and Uliano so that the team has vacancies in both centre-back and left-back positions."

"We have signed Ferrara from Napoli, and this player is enough to improve Fiorentina's defense line to a higher level." Zhuang Mingge said, "The key now is the vacancy of the main left-back. According to the expert's diagnosis, if Fortunato fully recovers, it will be at least until June next year. If you want to restore to a physical condition that can participate in regular games, it will take longer. Far water cannot stop thirst, and we cannot count on him now."

Zhuang Mingge's idea is right. In this era of restrictions on foreign players, most of the positions of Italian teams are occupied by local players. Once a player from any position transfers and leaves, the club's re-finding of a player that meets the requirements is a very troublesome thing for any team.

For specific examples, please refer to Inter Milan. In the days after Facheti retired, only Bremer played well in Inter Milan and the others were basically cheating. It was not until Mourinho switched Zanetti to the left that he was again given the left back position.

"Cremona's Francisco Colognese is good, and can play left-back and central defender. He has played 28 times this season for Cremona. I think he is enough to deal with most of the team's next season." Karin picked up a piece of information from the pile of paper.

Zhuang Mingge recalled that in his own impression, Colognese seemed to have played for Inter Milan and Lazio for several years. When he was in Inter Milan, he won the UEFA Cup championship as a main player. Had it been for Moratti not paying attention to the signings in the backcourt, his strength would have been the last substitute for a giant club. Later performance in Lazio proved this.

"Colognese is a player who has no experience in European competitions. Fiorentina will participate in the European Cup of Winners next season, so he can only be regarded as one of our candidates."

"How about Francencini in Napoli?" Karin quickly gave another opinion, "At 31, he once won the Serie A championship in the 1989-90 season with Napoli. He performed very well in Napoli this season. Now the Napoli, who is in a financial crisis, is selling players. It will not be too difficult for us to introduce him."

Franceni Zhuang Mingge has no deep impression of this name, so it cannot be blamed for Zhuang Mingge. For Napoli in the Maradona era, ordinary fans will only remember how Maradona "awesome" led Naples against the top three in the North and won two league championships...

But how many fans can tell the lineup of Napoli when he won the championship, and who was the head coach of Napoli at that time?

Many stars were overshadowed by Maradona's brilliance when playing in Naples. For example, Denapoli, as the main midfielder of the Italian national team in the 1990 World Cup, he formed the most artistic midfielder in Italian history with Ancelotti, Giannini and Donadoni. He is also the player with the most players in the history of Naples for the Italian national team.

In other words, there are Bagni (the main Italian midfielder in the 1986 World Cup), Kareca (the winner of the Silver Boot Award in the 1990 World Cup), Giordano (the main Italian striker in the 1986 World Cup), etc. Few fans can remember that they had a glory in Naples.

This is the sadness of playing football with Maradona.

However, since Franceni can meet Maradona's picky demands, she believes that her strength should be trustworthy. Although the age of 31 is a bit too old, it should not be a problem to cope with the implementation of the Boseman Act in the winter of 1995...

"Okay, the left-back position is tentatively Franceni." Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge remembered something, "By the way, Sister Karin, who was their main defender when Sampdoria played in the Champions League final in 1992?"

"The left back is Marco Lanna, born on July 13, 1968, and transferred to Roma in the summer of 1993; the right back is Fausto Pari, born on September 15, 1962. He is currently playing for the Naples club like Franceni. The central defender combination is what we know now, Pietro Velchoward and Moreno Manini." Karin soon found the news Zhuang Mingge wanted from a stack of materials and handed over these scout reports to Zhuang Mingge, "Tony, do you want to transplant the entire defense line of Sampdoria to our Fiorentina?"

"Sister Karin, you guessed it right, but it's a pity that there is no reward~" Zhuang Mingge was very proud of himself for coming up with this idea. "Lanna and Parry both have rich European experience. Since they can play as the main player in Sampdoria, and have also participated in the 90-year Winners Cup final and the 92-year Champions League final, it means that they have excellent defense and excellent skills. They have been with Samp for several seasons, and they will not make too many mistakes in cooperation when they come to Fiorentina together."

"And Sensi just became the chairman of the Rome club. Lanna is the direct descendant of former Rome chairman Viola, who advocated the introduction. Old Sensi would not mind selling him; Naples suffered another economic crisis, and Parri's transfer is also very likely to be completed." Karin made an analysis while analyzing, "But Verjoward and Manini are not that easy to dig."

"It's good that we can poach one of them, and, I believe, under the management of Enrique (Mentovani Jr.), no player can't be sold."

This was true in later generations of Mantovani's performance at Sampdoria. During his tenure as Chairman of Sampdoria, he was addicted to the pleasure of player transfers and transactions. The team's players changed frequently, completely ignoring the stability required by the team itself, and eventually relegated a top-level team from Serie A torture.

After determining the target of signing, Zhuang Mingge called Poirot to ask Sampdoria for a price and started the transfer between Viljoward and Manini; as for Parry, Lanner and Franceni, Zhuang Mingge arranged for several senior staff under the transfer department to be responsible for handling.

However, when Poirot brought back Sampdoria's reply, Zhuang Mingge muttered, "Damn, is there such a good thing?"

Sampdoria's reply was: As long as you are willing to accept Villejoward, we can give it for free! The only drawback is that Mannini's transfer seems to have been strongly opposed by Sampdor coach Eriksson, so Fiorentina's offer failed.

"If Manini can't come, then we can't come. Anyway, we have Filicano and Ferrara in the central defender." Zhuang Mingge and Karin said so.

Lanner, Franceni, Viljoward, Ferrara, Felicano, Parry, Bilindeli... The configuration of Fiorentina's defense next season is enough to make most Serie A team's head coaches drool.
