Located in Eindhoven, southern Netherlands, it is one of the leading technology centers in Europe and the fifth largest city in the Netherlands. The headquarters of the famous multinational company Philips is located in this city. At the same time, Philips is also the main sponsor of Eindhoven Football Club, one of the top three Dutch football teams. The name of Eindhoven's home stadium is Philips Stadium, which shows its close relationship with Philips.

Although Philips, a wealthy multinational company, serves as the economic backing of the team, it is obvious that Philips's habit of making careful calculations has also affected Eindhoven. It is rare to see Eindhoven use Philips' financial resources to sign ups in the transfer market, and still maintain the traditional habits of Dutch clubs, using its powerful hematopoietic function to train players, and wait for them to become famous before reselling at a high price.

Although the number of champions and domestic status is not as good as the leader Ajax, Eindhoven is still one of the three strongest clubs in the Netherlands, and the quality of the stars produced is also quite good: Luther Gulit and Romario, both of them became famous in Eindhoven and went to the world. Later generations of Eindhoven became an amazing star manufacturing machine: Ronaldo, Van Nistruei, Robben and other series of football superstars have been labeled as "produced by Eindhoven".

Therefore, after the failed attempt to recruit Seedorf, Zhuang Mingge decisively shifted his attention from Ajax to other teams in the Netherlands, and Eindhoven was the first to bear the brunt.

In 1913, Philips Company created a sports club sponsored by the company to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Netherlands' independence from France, and over time, the club eventually evolved into a professional football club, which is now Eindhoven.

Speaking of Eindhoven in 1995, we have to mention a person's name, that is, "Alien" Ronaldo, a striker from Brazil who scored 30 goals in 33 Dutch leagues in the 1994-95 season, thus becoming famous. Next year, he will be signed by Barcelona for US$19.5 million and officially become a first-tier football star in La Liga.

Although the Boseman era has arrived, the Boseman shock wave has had a much smaller impact on Eindhoven than Ajax, because their players have completed renewals long before the Boseman Act was implemented.

Of course, Zhuang Mingge did not expect all the club executives to be as slow as Ajax. This time he came to Eindhoven mainly to get some things done in advance.

...

On the afternoon of July 23, the atmosphere in the conference room of the headquarters building of the Eindhoven Club was extremely solemn, because they had just received a call from the president of Fiorentina, in which the owner of the new Serie A champions hoped to pay a transfer fee to gain ownership of the team's chief scorer of the season.

"Frank, do you think the value of Fiorentina's newspaper is worthy of consideration?" The speaker was Van Haney, the chairman of Eindhoven Club. He has a good attitude towards club management, but for specific matters related to football, he still has to rely more on the newly promoted general manager, as well as the team's current head coach Dick Edvocart (the coach who led the Dutch national team to participate in the 1994 World Cup and the 2004 European Cup). The opinions of these two people have a considerable influence on him.

"I think if the offer from Florence is appropriate, you can consider accepting it." The man who was called Frank by Van Haney thought for a moment and answered.

"This is not possible!" Hearing the general manager say this, Edvocart suddenly became anxious. "Ronaldo is the number one scorer in our team last season. If he leaves rashly, the team's performance next season will be greatly affected."

From Edvorkat's coaching career, we can see that although in his early days, he was influenced by Michels' idea of ​​full attack and defense, and the tactical system he applied was also established on this idea, he was indeed not creative in commanding offense. Just like Van Marvik who was dismissed last year, he relied entirely on the personal performance of the stars (Borgkamp in 1994, Robben in 2004), he attached more importance to defense, and sometimes even called conservative.

Therefore, Edvocart attaches great importance to such a star who can change the game trend by himself. Of course, he does not want to see the team let Ronaldo go for the transfer fee. After all, this is related to his job...

"Dick, it's wrong for you to say that." The man named Frank was still speaking. "Our club also sold the team's main scorer Romario two years ago, but the team's next performance did not decline significantly."

Frank paused and continued: "There is another thing, don't forget, Dick. That is, our Dutch club itself relies on constantly selling the leading stars to make profits and maintain the club's operations."

At the end, he added: "Boss, if Ronaldo is sold successfully this time, I hope to supplement the team with half of the transfer fee. After all, if a player like Ronaldo leaves, it is not just possible to make up for the losses by tapping internal potential."

Frank's words were reasonable, and Edvorcart, who was opposed, had nothing to say.

Seeing that the opinions of both sides were already consistent, Van Hanyi decided to agree to Frank's proposal and sent him to be responsible for the negotiations with Florence tomorrow.

...

Zhuang Mingge's car just drove into the city of Eindhoven and received a message from Antonioni: Inter Milan just released an official news, announcing that the main scorer who played for Ajax Club last season, Nigerian player Kanu, joined the Nerazzurri!

At the same time, Zhuang Mingge also received another news, that is, AC Milan's general manager Galliani also rushed to Amsterdam and went there with him, Marco van Basten, a superstar with a great influence in the history of Ajax team - Marco van Basten.

"Haha, it seems that Massimo wants to win Cruivet this time, but it is difficult." After hearing the news, Zhuang Mingge smiled and commented.

After all, although Basten has not reached his peak in Ajax, his status in Ajax and his influence on these players are not weaker than Cruyff. Many players like Cruyvert and Rezig are looking forward to repeating the footprints of the "Three Dutch Musketeers" in Milan. Therefore, if Morati wants to successfully defeat Cruyvert, the most important thing is to use something to overwhelm Basten's influence on him.
