Chapter 169 Thomas' Chance
Let's turn our time back to the day when Zhuang Mingge was considering signing in the office.
These days, it is difficult to find a player who is willing to play as a substitute but has no obvious weakness in offense and defense.
Pirlo, who Zhuang Mingge focuses on cultivating, is too young. He was born in 1979 and is not even an adult yet! Zhuang Mingge doesn't want to let Pirlo receive the cruel Serie A baptism early for the sake of shitty honors or the title of "genius": How many young football geniuses died prematurely before they reached the golden age of their careers after they became famous?
For example, Irving, who announced his retirement this year, won the Premier League's top scorer in the 1997-98 season. Irving was only 18 years old at the time. In the next few seasons, Irving was running on the court in addition to being injured. His frequent participation in games and England's fierce ball style made his legs scarred. He had no extra time to reflect on his shortcomings, which made Irving almost no progress after becoming famous, and he has been fighting against many defenders with his superlative speed. Leaving Liverpool in the summer of 2004 marked the beginning of the "wind-chasing boy" to slide from his peak, and the serious injury that was untouched in the German World Cup in 2006 marked the complete withdrawal of Irving from the ranks of top stars.
Therefore, Zhuang Mingge did not want Pirlo to repeat the mistakes of Irving. Now, he has practiced eighteen martial arts under the guidance of Monitz and Murensten and grew up healthily into "The Pele of Italy". This is what Zhuang Mingge hopes for.
Among the existing midfield substitutes in Fiorentina, Davis' role is more like a midfield sweeper like Kripa. If necessary, he can pass the back and shoot in a long shot to participate in the offense. Costa's organizational ability is not inferior to Effenberg, but his defense and running ability are much worse...
Czech iron man Nedved is a good choice, but don’t forget that in 1995, the Czech Republic has not joined the EU at this point in time. Zhuang Mingge just introduced Brazilian striker Ronaldo from Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and has used up the non-EU quota stipulated by the Italian Football Association...
"Tony, why do you have to introduce players from abroad as a substitute for Stefan (Efenberg)?" Karin saw Zhuang Mingge's name on the roster and couldn't help but ask, "Can't you dig potential in the team?"
"Then you say who can rotate Effenberg's position in the team? Costa's defense is a little worse, Davis and Tachinadi are not good at attacking, Pirlo and Zanetti of the youth team are still too young, it is impossible for them to get on the position now..."
"I said Tony, have you forgotten someone?" Karin looked through the player information on the table. Without outsiders, she didn't look like a secretary at all, but she looked more like a lazy cat. "Look at this person, how is he?"
"Damiano Tomasi?" Zhuang Mingge was slightly stunned when he saw this name, "Can he do it?"
It has to be said that at this time Zhuang Mingge made the same mistake as many time travelers. His brain was filled with stars who were star-studded in later generations, and he unconsciously ignored those powerful players who were slightly less famous.
When he just traveled through time, due to the restrictions of foreign aid quota and team status, Zhuang Mingge was able to control his desire for a garrison star well; but with the emergence of the Boseman Act and the victory of Fiorentina in double championships, Zhuang Mingge has become a little self-inflated. The introduction of Ronaldo and Davis are all products in this state.
It’s not that they are not good, but in fact, a team of giants cannot be made up of only countless stars. They also have players who are willing to be substitutes and green leaves. The collapse of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship in later generations proves this. Marklele’s departure led to the complete collapse of Real Madrid’s already fragile offensive and defensive balance...
Fortunately, although many of the players in the Fiorentina team are superstars in their later generations, in 1995, they were just unknown young people or emerging new stars. The only ones who can be called superstars in the team are Barty, Effenberg and Robert Baggio, so the atmosphere in Fiorentina is still quite harmonious.
Fiorentina's forward group seems luxurious, but who can guarantee that Vieri, Inzagi, and Ronaldo will not express dissatisfaction with their playing time after they grow up?
After Karin’s reminder, Zhuang Mingge was a little aware of his “resoluteness”: Perhaps, should Thomassi be given a chance to prove his abilities?
After all, in Zhuang Mingge's previous life, Thomassi lived a very regular life and never created negative news off the court. When he was playing for the Rome team, he was still one of the recognized locker room leaders.
Now, Tomasi in Fiorentina has not played many times, but he has not made any dissatisfaction. He can always connect the team together through his unremitting running efforts. No matter how the effect is, this diligent attitude is worth the club's "care".
So, Zhuang Mingge called head coach Ranieri and general manager Antonioni, who was in charge of competition, and asked them about their opinions on the club's recruitment and improving the positioning of Thomassi's team.
"Boss, I think the first team is just right now. If there are too many players, there are very likely that there will be players who are not playing time and cause disharmony in the team." Antonioni analyzed Zhuang Mingge from a professional perspective, "And even if the team has a small suspension or injury, Fiorentina's current player configuration can be completely overcome. As for large areas... Haha, after you set up a physiotherapy center, the chance of such a thing can be said to be infinitely reduced."
"Boss, I have no objection. My job is to lead the team to win. It is not my job to introduce players." In the past two years in Fiorentina, Ranieri's style has become more and more like a good old man. And he never crosses the line at work. For a strong boss like Zhuang Mingge who likes to interfere with team transfer work, Ranieri's "weakness" is crucial. If the head coach of Fiorentina is Mourinho or Ferguson, the club's work will not need to be carried out. Watch Zhuang Mingge fight with the head coach every day...
