To be honest, it is indeed beyond many people's expectations that Fiorentina can still rank first in the Serie A list in the past third of the league. At the beginning of the season, most experts believed that Fiorentina had the most strength tied with Roma, which was a little worse than teams such as Parma and Juventus. If you are lucky, Fiorentina may be able to get a European spot in the next season at the end of the season.

However, after the eleven league games, when he saw Fiorentina beat Juventus, Parma and other strong teams in the top spot, defending champion AC Milan really surprised many "brick-maker beasts".

A team that was struggling in the second division a year ago could have such a good start in its first year back to Serie A, which has attracted the attention of many people.

There are also many entanglements between Fiorentina and Juventus: In the summer of 1990, Juventus paid a sky-high transfer fee of $10 million, forcibly poached the then-core Robert Baggio from Fiorentina, causing a large parade in Fiorentina. This summer, Juventus used the same trick again and used the powerful influence of the Agnelli family in Italy to steal half of the defense line from Zhuang Mingge. These "new hatreds and old hatreds" made Fiorentina fans extremely hope that the team could hit the "old woman" at the opponent's home court.

Since the three teams of Fiorentina, Parma and Juventus are only one point apart, the results of Juventus and Fiorentina's game also affect which team will be the leader in the future.

Therefore, the major media on the Apennines have spared no effort to make comprehensive reports on the highlight of a league game like Juventus and Fiorentina. Of course, the media representing different interest groups have different tones of speaking.

As Juventus' mouthpiece, Turin Sports Daily has spared no effort to report that Juventus's team is in good shape and has a neat lineup. While it also has also not forgotten to hit Fiorentina, who lost to Sampdoria at home in the last game. They pointed out without hesitation: Fiorentina, who has experienced a relegation experience, is completely a second-rate Serie A team, and now it can top the league. It is entirely because other teams in Serie A don't know much about this team after the reconstruction. This "pseudo-strong team" will soon be beaten back to its original form.

The Alp Stadium is a stadium built to host the 1990 World Cup. It is now the shared home stadium between Juventus and Torino, and can accommodate nearly 70,000 spectators.

What is strange is that the relatively powerful Juventus' average attendance rate on this stadium cannot keep up with the Turin team, which often fights for relegation. Zhuang Mingge, who used to know only one but not the other, finally made the most intuitive discovery through several previous trips to Turin: in the minds of Turin citizens, the only one "Red Bulls" Turin team can be called the hometown team; while Juventus represents the entire Italian football.

In Juventus' home court, usually, about 50,000 fans came to watch the game, but today is obviously an exception. Under the strong publicity of the media, the Alp Stadium is obviously in a packed state. There were more than 60,000 Juventus fans and nearly 10,000 Fiorentine fans who came from all directions, filling every inch of the Alp Stadium's stands.

"Chairman Corleon, long time no see!" I learned from my subordinate that Zhuang Mingge had arrived at Alp Stadium Moji, who was waiting early in the booked VIP box. "I'm glad to be able to watch this key game with you!"

"Haha, Manager Moji, I think you invited me to Turin this time not just to watch such a game, right?" Zhuang Mingge decided to directly point out the topic. After all, he thought he did not have the ability to beat the old fox in talking. "If you have anything important to ask me to discuss, please speak up now, otherwise when the game starts a while, we may not be able to spend the extra energy to discuss the matter."

Moji obviously didn't expect Zhuang Mingge to ask him so directly, and was stunned for a moment, but the old fox quickly stabilized his rhythm and said calmly: "Chairman Corleon, then I'll just say it, what kind of player do you think our team's Robert Baggio is?"

"I think, as Franco Barreci said in an interview before, Baggio is the only player in Italy now who is 'capable of deciding the direction of the game'."

Zhuang Mingge knew that the main show was coming, but at this time he could never mention Baggio's transfer first and expose his attitude towards the transfer, otherwise Moji would seize the initiative in the negotiations and ask Florence for a high transfer offer.

But Juventus is different. Lippi already has Piero who can replace Baggio. Baggio, who is in his prime, cannot agree to be Piero's substitute, and Moji, who is very careful, cannot tolerate a player with a high salary on the bench.

Juventus dared not force Baggio too much. After all, Baggio in 1994, his personal reputation is at the peak of his career. If Juventus dares to force himself, such as "refrigerated" Baggio, or forcibly sell it abroad, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many fans, and Juventus cannot afford the anger of fans.

"Uh, Chairman Corleon, I mean, if we Juventus sell Baggio at the end of the season, would you choose to take over?"

"Manager Moji, what do you mean is that you Juventus are going to sell Baggio next summer?" Zhuang Mingge said in surprise, looking incredible, "I heard it right? Baggio is the core of the offensive of your club in recent years!"

Tell, if Baggio hadn't asked to stay in Italy to play football, I wouldn't have dared to inflict public anger. Otherwise, how could he find you to take over such a superstar? Moji was whispering in his heart, but said something else in his mouth.

"We are indeed planning to sell Baggio. After all, the current head coach of our team does not think Baggio is an indispensable player in his tactical system... Chairman Corleone, since you gave such a high evaluation for Baggio just now, I must be willing to pay out the transfer fee that matches his identity, right?"

"Damn!" Zhuang Mingge cursed secretly, but he didn't expect that he was still trapped by the old fox Mo. It seems that he will have to practice more in negotiations in the future. "Haha, although I personally am very optimistic about Baggio, Fiorentina's current midfield and frontcourt is not short of staff. Even if Baggio comes, we have no place to settle it!"

"For the friendship between Fiorentina and Juventus, we are willing to accept players that your club cannot accommodate." When he said this, the old Fox Mo looked sincere.

What I believe in you is ⑨! Zhuang Mingge cursed in his heart. He didn't expect that Moji was so shameless. Not only did he want to clean up Baggio, who was useless, but he also wanted to take advantage of Florence.

The two sitting in the box were just fighting each other, without realizing that the top dispute between Florence and Juventus had begun!
