Time flies. Soon, the New Florence Club ushered in its first season after its reconstruction. Not long ago, the Italian Football Association finally made a decision to allow the New Florence Club to participate in the Italian Division II next season.

Italian Football Association Chairman Corolla said: "The Fiorentine Club is a club with a long history in Italian football and plays an important role in Italian football. Although the former Fiorentine went bankrupt due to financial problems, the city of Florence quickly formed a new club and proved with its actions that Florence will never give up football. Given Fiorentine's position in football, the Football Association has decided to allow the new Fiorentine club to participate in the Italian Division II next season."

...

On September 8, this is the first game of the new season in New Fiorentina. This game also indicates that the Italian Division II League officially started in the 2002/2003 season.

Before the game, more than 30,000 fans sang Fiorentina songs and gathered outside the Frankie Stadium. Their faces were filled with proud smiles, waiting for the arrival of the New Florence Club bus.

Just over a dozen days ago, the New Florence team held a warm-up match under the leadership of the new coach Viljoward. In that warm-up match, many fans witnessed the New Florence team defeating a miscellaneous team 4-0. Although the opponent was just a miscellaneous team, the young players of the New Florence team cooperated smoothly and the tide of offensive conquered all the fans who came to watch the game.

While admiring, many fans couldn't help but scold the original first-line players who were willing to share the same joys and not to share the same sorrows. Dilivio's painstaking persuasion failed to make the original first-team players willing to stay and help the new team return to the first-tier field. When the news came out, the fans began to worry about the new team's journey next season. However, after the warm-up match, the fans regained their confidence and firmly supported the new team composed of the original youth team members.

As the only official player willing to stay, Dilivio's reputation in Fiorentina has gone up to a higher level. When he said he had signed with the new team for two years and the salary was determined by the club's financial situation, the fans were moved.

"Let's go to Frankie Stadium to watch the game next season!"

This message on the local fan website has been supported by countless fans because they know that the new club will not have much access to revenue next season. Ticket revenue will become the main fiscal revenue of the new club. Of course, the investment of the new owner Dela Valle is not considered by fans.

"The new club is our hard work, we have to help it through the initial difficulties!"

This message expresses the fans' thoughts. After the fundraising event more than a month ago, all Fiorentine fans believed that the new club was their own club. They had reason to use practical actions to help the team through the difficulties when the new club was in trouble.

As of September 7, according to data released by the New Florence Club, more than 9,000 packages have been sold in the new season, more than 3,000 more than the more than 6,000 packages sold in the same period last year. And this data is still growing.

The fans' behavior of supporting the new club with practical actions has moved the new owner De La Valle. The new owner publicly stated at a recent meeting between the new team and the fans: "I am proud of being a Fiorentine fan. In the next few years, I will inject more vitality into Fiorentine. Of course, I know that what I should do most now is to pay our soldiers. I don't want to owe these Fiorentines too much. Otherwise, I don't think you won't let me go, right?"

Delavalais’ joking public statements have excited fans and new team players. For fans, nothing is more important than improving the competitiveness of the club. To improve the club’s strength, it is naturally to get more powerful stars to join. To get extraordinary stars, of course, the club owner needs to pay. Now Delavalais has publicly promised to buy more stars for the club, so the fans will not be satisfied.

For players, becoming a professional player is just for fame and fortune. Although they have decided to help the team re-create their glory and stay, ideals cannot be used as food after all. Now that the boss promises to give priority to paying salaries, and when both ideals and reality can be taken into account, who will be unsatisfied with these young people? As for the boss’s question of introducing players, it is not a problem at all. It is better to grab a position than strength. Strength on the stadium determines everything.

...

A bus with the Florence logo printed on it slowly drove outside the Frankie Stadium. When the fans saw the arrival of the bus, they immediately exhaled the biggest cheers of today.

"Florence! Florence..."

After a while, the bus stopped not far from the player's passage. The fans who had been following the bus immediately rushed up when they saw the bus stop. Some reporters who had reacted slightly slower came back to their senses, but found that they could no longer get close to the bus and obtained first-hand information.

"Fiorentine fans are so crazy. In the past, I was blocked by my peers. Today, I was blocked by my fans." A reporter who looked a little thin looked at the excited fans in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"Dilivio, Dilivio, Dilivio..."

Suddenly, the fans burst into a huge and clear cheer. As the captain of the new team, Dilivio was the first to get off the bus. Diamanti, Lu Hao and other young people followed and got off the bus and prepared to go to the locker room.

"Young people, they are nothing to be scary. You are much better than them!"

"Captain, score a few more goals today and let them see the strength of Serie A stars!"

"Chinese boy, your performance was so handsome last time. You have to use your strength to let them know that they are amazing in this game!"

“…”

The cheers of fans were filled with anticipation made young people such as Lu Hao feel very hot all over. They felt that they were full of strength and wanted to start the game immediately now.

After all, Dilivio is experienced in many battles. Faced with the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, he smiled and walked towards the players' passage while waving to the fans around him.

At this time, a black car was parked outside in the distance of Frankie Stadium. Mayor Dominic held the car door and looked at the scene in front of him with relief.

At this moment, he recalled the CDs that Dela Valé showed him and the words he said to him.

...

"Mr. Mayor, do you know why I suddenly agreed to invest in the New Florence Club? Haha, this is not just my love for Florence football. Come and see these." De La Valée smiled and pushed several discs into Dominic.

"This is..." Dominic couldn't figure out what the club's new boss meant, so hesitated for a moment.

"That's why I decided to invest in a club. Of course, we can go to your office. I'm quite interested in the office of a mayor in a football city." Delavalai was obviously in a good mood and started a joke about Dominic.

"Of course, please come with me." Dominic laughed and stood up and led the way.

When he arrived at the mayor's office, Dominic walked to his desk and smiled and signaled: "Please visit as you like. But be careful, you should know that the things in this room are all from the country."

"Haha, of course." Delavalai bowed slightly, smiled at Dominic to show that he understood, and then walked to the sofa beside him and sat down.

Dominic then put the CD into the optical drive. After a while, an image appeared on the computer screen. On the image, some young people were doing training on the court, and in the distant horizon, a few sunsets floated lazily in the sky.

The young people in the image are very familiar with Dominic's background. After recognizing the young people in the image, he raised his head and asked curiously: "Mr. Delavalais, is the reason why you decided to invest in a new club? Is this the content of the other CDs?"

"Yes." De La Valé crossed his fingers and put them on his knees, and answered for granted: "Mr. Mayor, you should know that I am a Fiorentine fan. But this does not make me decide to invest in a club. After all, the broken stall left by the original club is really... Sorry, maybe I should use more elegant words to describe the Florence club in the Gore era. I don't want my investment to be exchanged for a bleak football club. To be honest, since the news that the Florentine club is about to go bankrupt, I have been observing secretly. I see everything these young people have done for the club. Initiate fundraising and train hard, all of this makes

I feel relieved. But what surprised me was the Chinese among them. According to my investigation, this Chinese plays a significant role in those things. This Chinese not only made great contributions to the Florence club, but also had the ability to become a first-class goalkeeper. A Chinese can make so many contributions to the club, which makes me believe that New Florence is a very good team. But I wonder why this outstanding young man only allowed less than twenty minutes to play when the team was in trouble. In my opinion, his performance in the twenty minutes he played was considered a qualified goalkeeper."

"Mr. Delavalai, I'm sorry. I don't know what's inside the original club. Maybe you have to find the former head coaches Mr. Bianchi and Mr. Chiruyagi to understand." Dominic simply put the blame on the two former head coaches.

"Haha, sorry, mayor, I don't mean that. I mean it's a proud thing to have these young people in Florence. I'm happy to lead these young people to recast the glory of the club." De La Valle smiled casually and changed the subject.

...

"Young guys, lead the Fiorentina club to rebuild its glory. As a loyal fan, you can't go to the scene to cheer for the team in person. You're really not a qualified fan. Maybe I should consider resigning..." Dominic bent down and got into the car, and muttered a few words at the same time.

When the black sedan left, a huge cheer sounded from Frankie Stadium that was thrust into the sky.
Chapter completed!
