Some people may have such questions, why Fiorentina, a talented striker like Shevchenko who performed extremely well in the Champions League and was highly valued by Zhuang Mingge, ended up only giving him a contract with an annual salary of US$2 million, rather than the same US$4 million as Vieri, Ronaldo and others?

This is of course the result of intentional work by Zhuang Mingge and others. After all, although Shevchenko has performed very well in the past few seasons, he is still a complete newcomer in Fiorentina. He is already inferior in qualifications and has no better qualifications than he has proved his abilities to his teammates and fans, the Ukrainians naturally cannot get the same treatment as those of Fiorentina meritorious players such as Vieri.

If he is given a work contract with Vieri and Ronaldo now, let alone other things, Vieri will definitely feel a knot in his heart, which will have a great negative impact on the atmosphere in the locker room in Florence.

Players who have been fighting for Fiorentina for many years will definitely think in their hearts: I have been working hard for so many years for the current status and treatment, why can you, a newcomer, be on par with me at the salary level without any contribution?

If Fiorentina is a team that has not received much honor, or if Shevchenko's status and reputation in football are not worse than those in Vieri, this voice may not appear within the team. But the key is that the Ukrainian nuclear warhead's reputation is far less than that of Vieri and others. Therefore, in order to ensure the balance of wages within the team and the atmosphere in the locker room, Shevchenko will definitely not be able to get such a high salary in Fiorentina as soon as it comes.

Of course, if Shevchenko can play in the next one or two seasons that match his value and help Purple Lily win some heavyweight honors, then Fiorentina will naturally present a contract with better conditions with both hands. By then, Vieri, who already knows Shevchenko's strength, will not have any dissatisfaction with it.

Saladin said it well: "There is no more effective way to win the hearts of subordinates than generous rewards."

In the football circle, this sentence also applies. As long as the players perform well enough, Fiorentina can provide players with treatment that suits their performance in a timely manner, so that they can maximize the hearts of the players and make them want to stay in Fiorentina to continue fighting, thereby ensuring Fiorentina's overall competitiveness and the players' sense of belonging to the club.

Although the word loyalty has been mentioned repeatedly in the football circle, players are not saints of other people's fireworks after all. They need to earn enough money to support their families in the second half of their lives in just over a decade of careers. Therefore, sufficient material support is also an important factor in ensuring player loyalty.

Although it does seem a bit utilitarian and may be looked down upon by many people who consider themselves noble, unfortunately, reality is so cruel that it will not change because of different personal opinions.

By the way, while Zhuang Mingge was operating Shevchenko's transfer matters, Groz and Karin, who were with him, also played guest roles as staff of the transfer department, and won the Karaze, who had already received the promise of Dynamo Kiev's release and had only personal treatment left, but had not yet negotiated with Florence.

Transfer fees of $16 million, annual salary of $1 million, four-year contract... The greatest player in Georgian football history fell into the palm of Florence!

After completing the transfer between Shevchenko and Karaze, Zhuang Mingge and his group were waiting for approval by the Ukrainian and Italian Football Associations, while accompanying Lobanovsky to a villa in the suburbs of Kiev and watched the 1998-99 Champions League final.

It is exactly the same as in history. The two teams that met the Champions League final this season are the Red Devils Manchester United from the Premier League and the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich.

Before the start of the Champions League final, both teams were in constant bad news: after Bayern lost the top scorer Elber, its main left-back, Frenchman Lizarazu, was also absent due to injury, not to mention Manchester United. The collective absence of two major midfielders Scholes and Roy Keane greatly reduced the strength of the Red Devils.

Although Ferguson sent Bromquist and Nicky Barth to replace the two players who were suspended, Manchester United's combat effectiveness was obviously greater than the talented Bayern Munich. At least Bayern Munich can also allow Tanat, who has played at the same time as Lizarazu, and Zickler, who has served as the stand-in for Elber for half a season, to play. The cooperation and tacit understanding between players is much better than Manchester United, who has crammed for the moment.

Although I have watched the video of the Champions League final in my previous life, Zhuang Mingge still has a high enthusiasm and attention for this game - he wants to know whether the fate of Bayern Munich and Manchester United will change unexpectedly after Rui Costa replaced Effenberg's position.

For example, Manchester United did not score two goals in the last three minutes and magically reversed their opponents; Ferguson did not choose to replace Solskjaer and Sheringham, which made it impossible for the two to exert their super substitute power; Heathfield did not replace Mattus before the end of the game, etc. As long as one of these events did not happen, it would change the original history.

However, when the ninety minutes of game time were exhausted and referee Corina blew the whistle of the whole game, the score on the field was one-to-two. Bayern Munich was still leading the opponent with one goal and Manchester United scored two goals in injury time in the middle of the game, regretfully losing the upcoming Champions League championship!

Looking at the Manchester United player who was celebrating selflessly on the court, Zhuang Mingge realized that although his actions changed a lot after traveling to this world, some things will still follow the original trajectory of history and move forward slowly.

For example, as the core of Bayern's defense, Matteus still ended strangely early before the game ended. Although some people say that this is a special reward given to Matteus by Heathfield, in Zhuang Mingge's view, as a head coach, even if Heathfield takes care of the physical condition of the players, he will not be able to make such a low-level mistake in the critical occasion of the Champions League final.

Therefore, it is very likely that it was not Heathfield's own intention, but Matthew's own initiative request.

Zhuang Mingge, who knew very well about the later struggle in Bayern's locker room, knew that Mattus's behavior of taking the initiative to blame his teammates caused his prestige within Bayern to plummet, and his life as a leader in Munich could no longer last.
