Chapter 67 Italian Super Cup
News that Florence made a lot of money at this bidding meeting spread throughout Italy overnight, especially after Qatar Airways won the jersey and chest advertisement for two years of US$50 million, it shocked the entire European football world.
These old antiques who are also engaged in football were surprised to find: Soccer can also be played like this? We lost a lot before!
However, what makes these people feel even more depressed is that it is precisely because of their previous conservatism and unprofitability that the teams they control have signed an advertising contract with a considerable period of time with their sponsors, and they will not be able to replace a new contract until 1996 years at the earliest...
Not to mention the depression of those old shareholders, it has entered August, and the new season of Serie A will kick off in four weeks. The preparations for the new season of Fiorentina have entered the practical drill stage - next, Fiorentina will play a series of warm-up matches with Serie A teams such as Roma, Parma, and Lazio at home. The teams can increasingly feel the approaching of the new season.
The more than 300 million US dollars of income that Zhuang Mingge earned in the World Cup in the United States was gradually transferred to each of their accounts in a legal way through their respective family businesses under the command of Groz and others. After all, such a huge amount of funds cannot be achieved in one step. They must be "breaked into pieces" to avoid the eyes and ears of some people.
Therefore, even though Zhuang Mingge's current net worth is over 100 million, the cash he can use normally is the 50 million US dollars he earned before. The gambling funds in Southeast Asia are still doing global travel in the Groz family's Southern Capital Bank...
And Fiorentina achieved good results in a series of warm-up matches in August.
On August 7, Fiorentina defeated Parma two-one;
On August 14, Roma scored with Ardale's last-minute header and tied Fiorentina by 2-2;
On August 21, Lazio, led by the offensive madman Zeman, played a passionate warm-up match with the Fiorentine Youth Army at Vlaki Stadium. Within 90 minutes, both sides scored a total of nine goals! In the end, they lost 4-5.
From these three warm-up matches, it can be seen that there are still some cooperation problems in Fiorentina's defense line, especially in the central defenders, it will take some time for Ferrara and Filicano to run in;
This season, Fiorentina has four championships to compete for: Serie A, Copa Italiana, Italian Super Cup, and European Cup Winners.
On August 28, tomorrow, the first championship battle, the Italian Super Cup, is about to begin, and the opponent is the king of today's European football, AC Milan Club!
Although Milan did not make any big moves in the transfer market this summer, it only introduced Dicanho, a striker who performed well in Naples last season, and welcomed the meritorious player of the "Three Musketeers" period, Luther Gulit. However, no team dared to underestimate Milan because, they have Baresci! They have Maldini!! They have Capello!!!
...
The next day, Zhuang Mingge brought Karin to the city of Milan for the third time.
The first time was to come here to attend the first "Tai, Zi, Party" party that Zhuang Mingge remembered. At that party, he established his position as a "leader" in that small group for the first time, and at the same time successfully integrated these playboys and established a GM agency company. Of course, what happened later was also a painful memory that Zhuang Mingge was unwilling to recall to this day...
The second time was to come here to watch the second round of the Italian Cup between Fiorentina and Inter Milan. After watching the game, Zhuang Mingge immediately caught up with the team bus that was about to leave and followed the team back to Florence;
This time, it is because the Italian Super Cup will be held at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, and his own Fiorentina will challenge Serie A overlord AC Milan in the "away game"!
"Hello, Chairman Corleone, Miss Carin, I am Adriano Galliani, General Manager of Milan." This time when Zhuang Mingge entered the VIP box, the purpose was a bald middle-aged man who greeted Zhuang Mingge and the others with a smile.
Uh, it turns out that the person in front of him is the famous Badman. Zhuang Mingge smiled and greeted Galliani while secretly alerting him. He, who had returned from time to time in later generations, knew how terrible this smiling general manager of Milan was.
Someone once said that if a person's value can be measured by the amount of transfer fees, then Galliani is the most valuable "player" in the Milan club.
Because this bald head is so amazing.
When Berlusconi was spilling money, he waved the checkbook provided by Lao Bei to create the Milan Dynasty. When Lao Bei tightened his pocket and let AC Milan take his own profits and losses, Jia Tu fully utilized his wisdom and made indelible contributions to the alternation between the new and old of Milan.
Nesta was introduced at the last moment of 2002, and in the summer of 2003, he got the Brazilian national team captain Kafu from Rome for free. In 2011, he bought Nocerino from Palermo for just 500,000 US dollars... The most famous thing is that in the summer of 2010, Galliani bought Ibrahimovic from Barcelona in three years with 24 million euros. You should know that just one year ago, when Barcelona introduced the Swedes, he spent $46 million in cash and an Etoo!
What Zhuang Mingge, who had traveled in the summer of 2012, didn't know that shortly after he traveled, Galliani sold the only two superstars in the Milan team - Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, and sent Pato away during the winter break of the 12-13 season. He used the transfer fees obtained by selling these players to acquire Balotelli and French young player Nian. Without major fluctuations in the team's performance, he successfully completed the new and old generation within Milan.
This shows how strong Galliani's strength is.
"Chairman Corleon, you did a great job in Florence this year, especially the bidding meeting last month, which really opened our eyes!"
"Where is it, Manager Galliani is so kind. You are the role model for us who are engaged in football."
After a brief greeting, the two sides sat down one after another to watch the upcoming Italian Super Cup.
Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the VIP box, put on his headphones as usual, listened to the explanation and watched the game.
With the whistle of referee Corina, the competition for the Italian Super Cup officially began!
