After arriving at the Italian Football Association headquarters, Zhuang Mingge heard many complaints from old man Perot, which made him think that someone would definitely attack the representatives of their Serie A clubs at this Football Association meeting. Therefore, while waiting for the meeting to begin, Zhuang Mingge made many solutions to respond in his heart.

However, the progress of the meeting was much beyond Zhuang Mingge's expectations: during the meeting, the Football Association stated that it would and fully agreed to the league reform plan submitted by the club representatives; at the same time, Chairman Perot also agreed to the suggestion that Zhuang Mingge and others should also make some investment in youth training.

Old Man Perot did not even bargain with Zhuang Mingge and others, and said bluntly that from now on, the Italian Football Association will spend at least US$15 million every year to invest in the construction of youth training in China, including providing financial support to clubs that lack financial resources to help them build basic youth training facilities; building football schools nationwide, further improving the youth training system, etc.

Zhuang Mingge naturally didn't know that during the time he was waiting for the meeting to start in the lounge, Perot called all the Football Association members who attended the meeting to his office for a short meeting: he wanted to unify his thoughts before the meeting began, so as to avoid any trouble when the meeting was held.

The last words of Old Man Perot shocked many people who were not convinced: "If anyone else is not convinced, then I have nothing to say, so I have to let Mr. Anelli take him away!"

In this way, with the news from old man Perot, the meeting came to an end in a harmonious atmosphere between the Football Association and the club.

Although the Italian Football Association does not do any serious business on weekdays, its work efficiency is still quite fast when the outside world puts pressure on it.

The day after the meeting, the Italian Football Association issued a public statement: The current limit on the introduction of only one non-EU player in the Serie A single season was lifted, and the clubs could only include up to five non-European and foreign players when the first team's 25-man roster was added.

The other terms in the statement are exactly the same as those proposed by Zhuang Mingge in the Professional League meeting before, so I will not explain them here.

With the Italian Football Association leading the team to be responsible for the league reform, Zhuang Mingge can naturally put his attention back to the Florence club. No matter what, he is the chairman of Florence, not a member of the Italian Football Association.

"Boss, this is the news that Kenion just sent back." Antonioni walked into Zhuang Mingge's office and reported to him about the construction of the satellite club network. "Anderlecht and Monaco have signed contracts with us, agreeing that we can exchange a certain annual fee for the first refusal of the players in their teams every year."

"Oh? Kenyon is very fast! He has settled two clubs in less than a month." Zhuang Mingge took the report from Antonioni and said while looking through, "Now, he should have arrived in Portugal, right?"

"Yes, Kenion arrived in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal yesterday. According to the plan, he planned to first meet with Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, to see their asking price before making a decision."

"Hmm? I remember that Portugal still has a very powerful team called Porto? It seems that it won the European Champions League championship more than ten years ago. Why didn't Kenion mention it?" As a time traveler, Zhuang Mingge is naturally familiar with the grassroots miracle that Porto and Monaco performed jointly in the European Champions League in 2003-04.

Especially Mourinho, who was the head coach of Porto at the time, no matter whether the outside world's attitude towards him was good or bad, Zhuang Mingge always firmly believed that the Magic Birds were definitely one of the top head coaches in European football. Only Ancelotti, Ferguson, Benitez and others could compare with him.

The most important thing is that Porto has a very good set in training players, Deco, Carvalho, Pepe, Falcao... Top stars can be said to be emerging one after another! Therefore, when Sporting Lisbon and Benfica began to decline due to Boseman's impact, Porto held up the banner of Portuguese football and became the overlord of Portuguese football in the new century!

Therefore, unlike Kenyon, Antonioni and others, in Zhuang Mingge's eyes, Porto's attractiveness is much greater than that of the other two clubs.

"Well, I had some communication with Kenion before. He said that the Porto club requires us to pay an annual fee of more than 10 million US dollars before we can sign a contract with us for the right of first refusal, so..." Antonioni stopped talking because he knew he no longer had to continue talking - didn't he see that the boss's face turned black?!

Tsk, Porto is indeed the most famous black store in Europe. Did it show signs at this time? Zhuang Mingge understood the reason why Kenyon abandoned Porto. After all, in this era, if he spent tens of millions of dollars on a club, he would only get a priority right, which is probably something that no one would do, right?

You should know that before the new century, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica were much more famous than Porto, and now most of the players in the Portuguese golden generation came from these two clubs. When these two teams learned that Fiorentina was interested in cooperating with them to some extent, their asking price did not exceed five million US dollars.

It is precisely because Porto is not as famous as the other two companies and is even more expensive, so it is natural for Kenion to give up Porto.

"Gancarlo (Antonioni), tell Kenion that if the asking price of Sporting Lisbon and Benfica are similar, we will choose Benfica." After pondering for a while, Zhuang Mingge spoke to Antonioni.

"Is it because of Rui?" Antonioni quickly understood the meaning of Zhuang Mingge's words. He, who was a professional player, was naturally quite sensitive to this aspect.

"Well, Rui is a person who values ​​feelings. Benfica lost a lot of main players because of Boseman's affairs. This is what everyone knows." Zhuang Mingge nodded, assuming Antonioni's guess. "If Benfica has a closer relationship with us Fiorentina and gets some support from us, I believe Rui can play football in Fiorentina more at ease, and don't always worry about the future of the parent team in my heart."

Zhuang Mingge knew that Rui Costa, who was elegant in the game, was very emotional and did not pay much attention to honor. Otherwise, he would not have been sold by Cherry Goli to AC Milan until after Fiorentina fell into an extremely serious financial crisis. He was 29 years old at that time. You should know that Batistuta, as a Fiorentina totem, transferred to Rome, which had more hope of winning the championship two years ago to complete the dream of winning the league championship!

Later, Benfica fell into crisis. Costa, who originally planned to live in Milan, returned to his parent team. After retiring, he even became the club manager and used his connections as a player to help Benfica overcome difficulties.
