Therefore, it is natural to be cautious about signing Zhuang Ge this time, and do his best to keep secret. He does not hesitate to spend a lot of time and energy transporting those who didn’t intend to make the final move to release smoke bombs to confuse other opponents. Even antonioni and Poirot, the absolute own people, did not inform them, and Karin went with him, who had just been poached by Hess. Two absolute main players, Frings and ze Roberto, Leverkusen, were ready to hold a negotiation with Kalmund on a transfer transaction.
Although antonioni and Poirot are indeed worthy of Zhuang Ge’s letter, it is obvious that the less people there are, the safer it is. After all, if someone accidentally spills the beans, some people will find something, which will attract a large number of teams to join the competition, then Zhuang Ge will want to cry.
The purpose of this trip to Germany Zhuang Ge is very clear, that is, to find a suitable substitute for Stam and Starr, who have lost two central defenders, Hyypia and Lala. Lucio, the Brazilian international currently playing for Leverkusen Club, is the ultimate goal of Zhuang Ge’s trip to Germany!
Tony, you are so big, just buy this Brazilian central defender called Lucio? Karin, who was on the plane to Germany, was puzzled and asked, Although Brazil won the World Cup just now, Lucio’s performance in this World Cup was unstable. When he was absorbed in the game, he was indeed a worldclass manmarking central defender, but if he was not in the state, he would easily get into his own attack.
Zhuang Ge was not surprised by Karin’s doubts. Indeed, a central defender Lucio did not do a good job in his staff. Take his performance in the KoreaJapan World Cup as an example. In the quarterfinals of England and Brazil, it was Lucio’s halftime stop mistake that made Owen get the ball, speed it up and then score a goal, which made a goal behind Brazil in a passive situation.
Lucio would have been the chief culprit for Samba’s exit from the World Cup if Ronaldinho hadn’t suddenly shot one by one in that game to help Brazil successfully reverse the score!
Although Lucio remained firmly in the main position of the Brazilian team after that, it was only seen as a big achievement by coach Scolari. After all, although Brazil claims that the football kingdom is rich in offensive players with outstanding skills, there are many worldclass players such as Pele, Ziko, Soccer Doctor Socrates, Fa Erkao, the Emperor of Rome, and so on, but the number of defensive experts it produces is rare, that is, it has only been in the last decade.
Otherwise, Scolari wouldn’t be so upset by Emerson’s accidental injury that he had to sacrifice gilberto silva and Clayberson, a young couple with almost no experience in the competition.
It is precisely because of this that after the World Cup in Korea and Japan, most of Brazil’s international players received highpaying invitations from all sides. Even Gilberto and Kleberson, who were not famous before the World Cup, also got the opportunity to land in Europe. On the contrary, Lucio, the main member of the World Cup champion team, was also a player who helped Leverkusen win the meritorious service of Sanya in the season. Even Frings and ze Roberto Hess, who had just been poached at a low price, were dismissive of it and did not have the idea of bringing him to Munich.
So for Zhuang Ge, this is the best chance for Florence to introduce Lucio!
Chapter 157 Summer situation (13)
Karin, you are right. Lucio does occasionally have inattention in the game, and his overstrong offensive consciousness is also a doubleedged sword, which will cause trouble to his opponents and also bring danger to our defense line. Facing Karin’s doubts, Zhuang Ge first nodded in favor and then turned the conversation and said, But Lucio, although he has various problems and shortcomings, can’t deny that he is one meter tall and has excellent physical quality. The ability of explosive power and speed is amazing, even those powerful centers or fast horses who rely on speed can hardly take advantage of it, which can be seen from his unflagging performance against strikers such as Owen, Heskey and Neuville in the World Cup.
And although Lucio was born in Brazil, his professional attitude is much better than that of most Brazilian players. He won’t relax his demands on himself like romario and Ronaldo after he became famous. We can give Lucio a scientific and reasonable training environment, so we don’t worry that he will be immersed in the color dog and horse like most of his compatriots after he became famous, instead of pursuing progress. Seeing that Karin seems to have something to say, Zhuang Ge added. Secretly, Ronaldo felt sorry, and his heart said that it was indeed a leopard cannot change its spots, and his crossing failed to change the speed of the alien’s depravity in the hustle and bustle. The key point is that Lucio has no offensive consciousness in most central defenders in this era, and his positive attitude on the offensive end can greatly enrich the team’s offensive routines and help the team break the deadlock when it is at loggerheads with opponents, which is done by other central defenders.
Although Karin is skeptical about Lucio’s ability, Zhuang Ge is very clear about how powerful the Brazilian defender will be in the future, not to mention how much confusion Lucio’s sudden intervention in the game will cause to the defense of the opposing team. The local advantage of Florence’s one more player in the midfield is enough to make Viola’s opponents in a hurry.
In Zhuang Ge’s view, it is not a difficult problem for many experts to insert Lucio in the game. After all, in Zhuang Ge’s previous life, Mourinho’s success in making Lucio a worldclass central defender has been criticized by fans and experts. It is more because his former club Bayern did not arrange a suitable partner for him according to Lucio’s characteristicslet Lucio and Demichelis, who are also known for their bravery in defense, and Van Bitten partner together, if they were not given by Shevchenko, Inzaghi and Messi, who are good at speed and dexterity of Bayern’s giants.
We need to find Lucio a defender who is good at making up the position with him. For example, in his previous life, he partnered with Samuel the Rock of Argentina or Florence. Now he has the world’s first central defender Sta, and with Makelele, a super bluecollar worker with outstanding sense of making up the position, this potential hidden danger can be eliminated as much as possible.
However, after Lucio’s arrival, we should adjust the team’s tactics, such as Zhuang Ge. Of course, we won’t take it for granted that he can solve this problem alone. In fact, before going to Germany, Zhuang Ge had some discussions with Heinks on this issue. The German coach was very interested in Lucio, an alternative central defender with a strong desire to attack. He agreed with Zhuang Ge’s views on Lucio and said that he could finetune the team’s tactics according to Lucio’s technical characteristics. Only then did Zhuang Ge feel at ease and decided to bring the Brazilian to Florence.
However, although Zhuang Ge thinks it is the best time for Florence to introduce Lucio, he still has to keep it secret, otherwise other teams will probably flock to compete with Florence for this after learning about Zhuang Ge’s trend. They didn’t think much of Brazilian central defender.
After all, after nearly ten years of actual combat tests, Zhuang Ge’s vision has been recognized by most people, from the introduction of vieri and Inzaghi when he entered the company, to the rejection of parallel imports by Inter Milan fans, Roberto Carlos, and the gold medal bluecollar Makelele, who was overshadowed by the stars such as Zida and Henry when he played in Monaco. An example of these players who were not valuable in people’s eyes at that time proved their ability in Florence to help Viola establish a dynasty that made the whole European football tremble in the middle and late 1990s, and at the same time made all European clubs aware of the vicious vision of the Florence president.
There are so many successful cases, no matter which club manager introduces players to strengthen the team, it will naturally be the first target of Florence’s prey. Zhuang Ge naturally dare not take it lightly. After all, if Florence and Lucio finally pass by due to some accidents, where can Zhuang Ge find such a person who can rotate with Stam?
Although Zhuang Ge has memories of past lives, he can select many future top central defenders from them, or his strength has not been recognized by people, such as Gabriel Heinze, a central defender of Paris SaintGermain who currently plays for Belgrade red star Manya Vidic, but Lucio, a member of Sanya King and World Cup champion team, is obviously worse than the former in ability and experience, and defenders who can compete with him in these aspects, such as Ayala and Materazzi, can’t accept the position of rotating players.
Therefore, for Florence, the worrying position in the national team has lowered her psychological expectation because of being criticized by experts and fans. Lucio, who is willing to accept the rotation positioning, is naturally the best candidate!
If we miss the village of Lucio, God knows when Viola will meet such a modest but outstanding central defender again.
Chapter 15 Summer situation (14)
The general manager of Leverkusen Club has a fat manager, saying that Rael Kalmund has been very upset recently because he is not in the mood to accompany his beloved girlfriend Sylvia to the seaside to enjoy the summer sunshine and the smell of the sea, and he is not in the mood to lose his weight, which has reached 135 kilograms.
There are two main reasons why Kalmund is so busy this summer. First, Bayern Munich, one of the top four players in the season, suddenly sold millions of dollars at ultralow prices after the transfer door opened, forcibly packing and poaching two pillars of Bayer Leverkusen’s midfieldBrazilian ze Roberto and German rising star Torsten Frings!
Hess’s poaching action caused the pharmaceutical factory to lose two absolute main players and offensive engines, forcing Kalmund to expend efforts to find both qualified body double in the transfer market to make up for the negative impact of the departure of Zerroberto and Frings on Leverkusen, so that the team can further win a heavyweight championship trophy in Sanya King Foundation in the new season and complete the transformation from a national powerhouse to a toplevel powerhouse.
No matter how brilliant Leverkusen has been on various fronts in recent seasons, it is an indisputable fact that there is a lack of heavyweight championship trophies in the honor room of pharmaceutical factories. It is for this reason that Leverkusen finally removed the hat of fake strong teams and joined the ranks of rich clubs.
It’s like the Chelsea in Zhuang Ge’s previous life. Although the Blue Army won two Premier League titles under Mourinho’s command, it was also inextricably linked with Barcelona and other giants in the Champions League, but it was not until dimatteo led Chelsea to win the Big Ear Cup that the Blue Army was officially accepted as a member of the top giants.
At the turn of the century, the same is true of Manchester City after Valencia and Abu Dhabi took over. Although they have won many honors, they have failed to win the big ear cup. They can also be regarded as a powerful spoiler or a pseudostrong team. There is still a long way to go before they can win the title of giants.
Bayer Leverkusen lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season, which probably had a great influence on them, because the pharmaceutical factory lost not only a Champions League champion and a lot of bonus income, but also a key that allowed them to enter the top clubs in one fell swoop!
Moreover, Leverkusen can’t even compete with clubs such as Valencia and Manchester City in terms of honor, and it will be repeatedly poached by Bayern. After all, a club that has the hope of winning the championship every year but has the edge of the championship every year can be regarded as a pseudostrong team at best, or at best, it is just a local tyrant. All players with some ambitions and strength will not regard such a club as the ultimate goal of their careers, but Leverkusen as a springboard to enter the giants.
Kalmund, manager of Bayer Leverkusen, is naturally not satisfied with this situation, but he has always wanted to see Bayer Leverkusen on an equal footing instead of becoming a Bayern talent reserve base, and he is still the kind of person who can be bargained down by the other side at will …
The second reason why Jeancard Mond was upset was that the Bundesliga broadcaster Kirsch went bankrupt unexpectedly. Because Kirsch bought out the Bundesliga and broadcasted it in 24 years in 1999, the Bundesliga suffered a prescale economic crisis when it was declared bankrupt in April this year!
You know, before Kirsch declared bankruptcy, it owed the Bundesliga a broadcast with a total amount of hundreds of millions of euros, but with the sudden bankruptcy of Kirsch, this huge broadcast disappeared overnight. Under this shock wave, many small and mediumsized German clubs were on the verge of bankruptcy, because Kirsch paid more than 300 million euros to the Bundesliga every year, and for many big clubs, video broadcast also occupied a large part of their club income. Fortunately, they failed to have Bayer’s support in this wave. Leverkusen is one of them.
In the face of the sharp decrease in financial income and the dilemma of several main players leaving the team (Zeroberto and Frings left the team and the main striker Kirsten was ready to retire), Kalmund had to rack his brains for the insufficient transfer budget to strengthen the team. Therefore, when he learned that Zhuang Ge, the president of Florence, had invited Lucio, the main central defender of his team, to personally come to Leverkusen to discuss the transfer, Kalmund was simply overjoyed and said that a rich man had finally taken a fancy to their players. This time, he said that he would take this opportunity to bite a piece of meat on the other side to get enough money to upgrade the team.
The reason why Kalmund thinks so is very simple, that is, due to Zhuang Ge’s huge wealth and Florence’s vigorous development in the football market around the world for many years, Viola has become one of the few clubs in European football that have not been affected by the economic situationits financial situation is naturally much better than that of most clubs. According to the data released by Deloitte Accounting, Florence’s income in the past year has reached an astonishing 200 million euros, which was still obtained in the four major situations of Viola.
Therefore, it is understandable that cashstrapped Kalmund wants to take this opportunity to kill Florence, a big fat sheep.
However, Kalmund obviously forgot a very important point, that is, the other party is not a person like berezovsky and cragnotti. It is really unknown whether he is willing to be regarded as a fat sheep.
