ps4: Did these Belgian players finally wake up after sleeping for a game and a half...

Mourinho and Antonioni are not worried about the team's candidate for the left-back substitute after Carlos left. On the one hand, they are also aware of Fiorentina's strong appeal in the player group. It is basically no difficulty to find a qualified substitute for Zivo. Some players want to go to Fiorentina to win several championship trophys. And in order to achieve this goal, they will definitely do their best during their stay in Fiorentina, and there will basically be no such phenomenon of cheating and passive slacking off.

On the other hand, it is because Mourinho and Antonioni both believe in their boss's vision and think that they don't need to waste brain cells on it. After all, even Arteta, which is considered a rare failure in Fiorentina's transfer market in the past decade, Espanyol's performance this season is indeed worthy of the 5 million euros transfer fee Fiorentina paid for him. However, compared with the cost-effective signings in Fiorentina in the past, Arteta seems a bit squash.

However, although Zhuang Mingge is responsible for the finalizing the candidate for the left-back substitute, this does not mean that Mourinho and others have no opinion on other matters. For example, when it comes to finding a substitute for Pirlo, the Portuguese young coach said that he had something to say.

"Boss, I personally have some opinions on Andre's substitute. I want to discuss it with you here." Just as Zhuang Mingge was thinking about the candidate for the left back, Mourinho suddenly said, "I wonder if you have time now, come and listen to my thoughts?"

"Oh? OK, let's hear it." Seeing Mourinho's voluntary interruption on the issue of signings, Zhuang Mingge was surprised at first, then immediately reacted and said with a smile, "Jose, there is no need to be so reserved. Although most head coaches in Italy do not have the right to participate in the club's recruitment work, this is Fiorentina. As the team's head coach, you have the right to suggest in this regard. Therefore, as long as the candidate you suggested passes our review, then we can bring this player to Fiorentina if the player himself agrees and the opponent's club is willing to let him go."

However, Zhuang Mingge feels that he still needs to be carefully examined as the candidates given by Mourinho. After all, in Zhuang Mingge's previous life, although Mourinho's personal transfers were many excellent works, there are also many failures criticized. For example, Paul Ferreira, Wright Phillips, who he strongly advocated for the introduction of when he coached at Chelsea, Coentrand and Shahin during Real Madrid, etc. are more famous examples.

With these cases first, it is natural that Zhuang Mingge wants to do a good job of checking and avoid spending a lot of money to introduce some low-cost-performance players under Mourinho's trick.

"We won't consider those famous midfielders or new stars who have become famous here. After all, we have discussed this before. Even if these players want to play in Fiorentina, they need to face fierce competition from Pirlo and Barack, which is enough to discourage them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have introduced Arteta last summer and gave up the stronger-capable Xavi Alonso and Schweinsteiger." After getting Zhuang Mingge's permission, Mourinho sorted out his thoughts and then talked in front of his boss. "So, my opinion is that since it is very difficult to introduce a qualified substitute midfielder from outside, why don't we consider the problem with another idea? For example, tapping potential from the team is a very good method."

"Jose, what do you mean is that you plan to draw players from the second team to let them who are familiar with the Fiorentine tactical system serve as Andre's substitute?" As he said this, Zhuang Mingge quickly recalled the stars of his previous life who had thrown into the second team over the years. After all, he did not have the ability to remember everything, and it was impossible for him to remember everything in detail.

To be honest, after traveling to this world for so many years, Zhuang Mingge feels that it is already a very great thing that he can still remember which players will make a name for themselves in the future.

"That's right." Mourinho nodded and continued, "I think that young player from Croatia, yes, that little guy from Luca Modric, has the ability to take on the responsibility of sorting out the midfield and controlling the rhythm of the game when Pirlo is resting."

"Hey, if I read it correctly, Modric is only twenty years old this September. Don't you think it's too early to let him get in touch with the Serie A so early?" Zhuang Mingge thinks it's better to be cautious about players like Modric. After all, there have been so many years since the birth of modern football. There are many stars who have become famous at a young age but have fallen prematurely due to physical and injuries. Irving and Woodgate are the best examples.

"Boss, I think you are too protective of these young people. How can players turn into cocoons and butterflies without going through the wind and rain?" Mourinho couldn't help but feel speechless about Zhuang Mingge's statement, "Besides, even Andre, when he was on the court for Vicenza and Fiorentina, he was not twenty years old. Now he is still the world's top midfielder?"

After hearing Mourinho's rebuttal, Zhuang Mingge also felt that the Portuguese said it very well. Although Modric, who is already nineteen years old, has not yet fully matured physically and needs further technical considerations, there is no reason why Pirlo could do that back then, with equally outstanding talent. Moreover, Zhuang Mingge is still very sure about Modric's future development - Modric in his previous life can grow into the hottest new star in the Croatian League, where his level is behind, and he can grow into the hottest star in Europe. It is a very difficult thing to look at Florence, which has better training conditions, higher tactical level, and more advanced football philosophy.

In this way, under Mourinho's persuasion, the matter of Modric entering the first team in Fiorentina was decided.
