Fiorentina did not say they closed the transfer market, but after a week of crazy acquisitions, the storm gradually subsided. They are now in difficult negotiations with two Bundesliga teams.

This time Fiorentina fell in love with Dortmund's young defender and midfielder Sebastian Kyle and Bayern Munich's Philip Ram.

Kyle, who is 1.88 meters tall, can be competent as a central defender and defensive forward. Some people even say that he is actually a defensive free agent, which shows that he is an excellent player. Kyle himself is willing to come to Italy to play football, and his best friend Metzelder is also persuading him to come, who is now an AC Milan player.

But Van Mawek didn't want to let go, he planned to train Kyle to become the leader of Dortmund.

However, Ren Yudi was not worried. He knew that Dortmund was short of money. As long as he continued to spend money, there was nothing he could not buy. After all, the head coach could not control the decisions of the upper level. But now he doesn't want to spend too much money. The team's locker room needs to be balanced, and too many sky-high players will only cause no one to accept the other. Fiorentina already has Zhang Jun and Mascherano, and they no longer need big names.

The same is true for Bayern Munich's right-back Philip Ram. Fiorentina carefully negotiated with Stuttgart, hoping to get the main full-back of the German national team.

Because he is only 1.7 meters tall, he cannot play as a center back, but Ram, who is from a right back, is also very good at the left back position.

Kyle, Ram and Xiang Tao are important pawns for Sabato to transform Fiorentine's defense. Although Uyfalusi is in his year of playing, he has already been established. Kyle, Ram and Xiang Tao are still very young, and they all have room for improvement.

The club is working hard in the transfer market, and Sabato is also working hard. Since he eliminates dissidents, facing more than half of the new players, Sabato's prestige is much easier to establish. No matter how big a player is, he wants to be more active when he reaches a new team, hoping to leave a good impression on the head coach. As long as he can lead the team to win, someone will naturally be convinced.

Moreover, now all the fools can see that Jalimian trusts Sabato very much. Who dares to fight against the head coach and doesn't want to get along? Mikoli, Maresca's lessons are still on the way.

Maresca wanted to please the new chairman, saying that he was tired from floating around and wandering around, and wanted to find a place to settle down, but didn't want to leave. As a result, he was kicked out because he said Sabato's words "homeboy". This is known in Italy. Sabato neither admits it, but he does not deny it - he just wants to use public opinion to cause such an impact, and he needs to let everyone know that he is a hooligan who turns against others. He doesn't mind how the outside world evaluates him, and sometimes he even feels complacent about being called a hooligan.

Sabato is now leading the team to train in a closed manner, and after a week of physical training, it is a tactical exercise.

The main formation he formulated for Florence is the classic 442 - the kind of midfield diamond stance. This has caused ridicule from the Italian media: Who still uses diamond stance 442 now? The whole world is full of 4231, 4321, 4312...

This time, Sabato was too lazy to even refute. His mind was on how to train this group of players from all over the world with different personalities. They had to be put together, otherwise this season would be very dangerous. A team with personality is a good thing, but if everyone's personality is not tolerated to the team, it would be dangerous. He is a madman himself, and according to him, the boss is also a madman. There are madmen among the players, but everyone cannot be madmen. The team needs to be crazy and calm. There must be several calm people to balance.

In addition, with the support of Dilivio, Zhang Jun has become the new captain, and helping to establish his prestige is also something Sabato needs to consider.

Xiang Tao is a familiar person. He can get along with everyone in very poor Italian. But Kru is a little gloomy. Maybe his father died. His mood is still not high. Even when he appeared together, the smile on his face was very far-fetched. He only had a good relationship with Zhang Jun. Now, Zhang Jun drove in a car to pick him up and send him away in training. Three Chinese players live very close to each other. Zhang Jun is working hard to help him integrate into the team as soon as possible.

Mascherano was very mature, both on and off the court. It was hardly obvious from his every move that he was only twenty-three years old.

Gasbalone is a very lively young man. Just like all young people, he is interested in many things. In just a few days, his relationship with Xiang Tao was very good. You can often see these two people chatting together while talking and gestureing. Since they are both on the left, this is also conducive to their tacit understanding.

Frey is a passionate goalkeeper, so his personality is also very wild and ostentatious, which reminds Zhang Jun of Anke in Bayern Munich.

What's different from the past is that there are two hot barrels in the team - Cru and Xiang Tao. Sabato has learned about the two of them's irritable tempers through the past few days of training, and they are more impulsive.

He needs this kind of character, but he needs control.

Just like nuclear energy, it is dangerous not to control it, but it can be used to generate electricity and benefit mankind.

Management is also an art. Sabato wants to make this group of players feel energetic when they should be, and calm when they should be calm. He still needs to work hard.

In Sabato's idea, the only main force of the forward is Zhang Jun, and Pazini and Tony will see who is in better shape and then decide who to put on. In the diamond midfielder, the front midfielder is Cruy, and Sabato gave him the 10th. His substitute will be Montorivo from Atlanta. The midfielder is Mascherano, and the substitute is Donadal bought from AC Milan. This is the captain of AC Milan youth team, but because Ancelotti is conservative in using people, he has never gotten any chance. He rented Fiorentina last season and performed quite well. Sabato believes that when playing a single midfielder, he can play a substitute and start when playing a double midfielder. He is a very useful player.

The right back is Jorgensen who bought out with a 500 euro, and the left forward is Gas Baroni.

The central defenders are currently Uyfalusi and Dainelli, but Dainelli is still too young. If Kyle can come, he will definitely be his partner with UFO (Uyfalusi's nickname). The right back is Chierini now. If Ram can come, the main player will definitely be his. The left back is Xiang Tao. At the same time, Xiang Tao can be competent in any position on the defense line, and Ram can also perform well on the left. Moreover, these two full-backs have good assists, which is what Sabato hopes to see.

He is different from the old guys. He believes that instead of squeezing behind the scenes, it is better to push out and attack. Now Fiorentina's attack lineup can definitely rank among the top five in Serie A. He is confident that no matter how many goals his opponent scores, Fiorentina will be more than the opponent.

Ren Yudi did not oppose Sabato's offensive first tactics, or he himself was looking forward to the storm of this team from him to coaches and players, which could cause a storm in the conservative Serie A.

※※※

In a series of warm-up matches before the season, Fiorentina won, draw, and lost. This is normal for a team that is new in everything.

What made Sabato and Ren Yudi happy was that Zhang Jun, with Sophie beside him, was in good condition and was very stable. He scored goals in every game in the warm-up match. Li Yan had to sigh at the greatness of love.

In the club, Batistuta successfully completed the mission of lobbying Mascherano and returned to the club. Jalimian appointed him as the sports manager of Fiorentina. The retired Dilivio was also invited back and he will become Sabato's assistant.

Dilivio felt it was a sudden thing for him to be an assistant coach because he had no experience in this area at all. But Sabato told him that he had no experience to learn, and that his main task was not to be responsible for training, but to balance and coordinate the locker room. He was respected and had many things he said, both Sabato and Lukesey worked.

He is a bridge leading to those extroverted, introverted, new, concerned players, and help them as much as possible.

Ren Yudi believes that this can help improve the team atmosphere, increase cohesion, and to a certain extent eliminate the outside world's bad evaluation of Florence being a "mercenary".

In addition, Feng Qing's identity has also changed from Zhang Jun's personal doctor to the club's team doctor. Ren Yudi believes that the large-scale injuries in Florence last season were related to those incompetent team doctors. So he simply started to combine traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine physiotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine massage in Western clubs to ensure the health of the players as much as possible.

In addition to Florence, Italy has also become popular recently, and there is another news that has also made many people excited.

Robert Baggio always comes out of the mountain.

He chose the coach as his new identity. But to the disappointment of the Fiorentines, he did not come to Florence, but went to Milan City, where he will serve as the head coach of the Inter Milan youth team.

Zhang Jun was also surprised when he heard the news. He called and asked Robbie why he chose Inter Milan instead of returning to Florence.

Baggio smiled and said, "Because I am an Inter Milan fan, our family is all. And I recommend it to Fiorentina. I don't owe anything there anymore, but I owe Moratti favors. Zhang Jun, you have excellent teammates around you now. Understand you, use your head coach and a chairman who is willing to spend money. Fiorentina has the capital to be the king. I don't want you to be so smooth. Inter Milan doesn't want to have such a championship in so many years."

"But……"

"When we meet again in the future, we will be our opponents, Zhang Jun. Work hard!"

Zhang Jun didn't expect that this ending would be the end. When he first met Baggio, he contacted Florence. He always thought that he chose Florence because he was influenced by Baggio. If Baggio wanted to make a comeback, he would definitely choose Florence. Everyone thinks so, but they all ignore the fact that Baggio is actually an Inter Milan fan.

Baggio's choice has caused some radical Fiorentine fans to have some extreme words and deeds. They always think about their own interests and wishes, but do not consider the problem from Baggio's perspective.

Zhang Jun was helpless because of Baggio's words, "I'll be my opponent when I meet again." Baggio is his teacher and will be his opponent in the future. Perhaps there are still many things in this life that cannot be forced.

※※※

The day before the transfer window closed on August 31, Fiorentina announced that they signed Borussia Dortmund's Kyle and Bayern Munich's Ram for 8 million euros and 6.7 million euros respectively.

Almost all the people Sabato wrote on the list were bought. He once again thanked God in his heart and let him meet such a generous boss.

Frey, Gasbalone, Tony, Montorivo, Dainelli, Donadal, Cru-Li, Xiang Tao, Kyle, Ram, Mascherano, Jorgensen, and Zhang Jun.

The above is what Florence has gained this summer, buying and buying out, Ren Yudi spent nearly 100 million euros, and Florence replaced half of its players, which is beyond recognition compared to last season.

Ren Yudi is very satisfied with this lineup. It is okay for these people to reach the top six, but the media are not optimistic. They think that Fiorentina may have to repeat the old path of last season.

With suspicion and expectation, Fiorentina began its new season.

At the beginning of the new Serie A season, CCTV5 made a trailer video based on the usual tradition. A small thing with a four-minute and ten-second length, coupled with U2's "BeautifulDay", has become a popular video that many Chinese fans chase and download online.

The film shows the process of AC Milan and Inter Milan fighting for the championship, and the scene of Fiorentina's successful relegation at the last moment. The three Chinese players here are the protagonists.

Inter Milan, defending champion.

AC Milan, the target champion.

Florence, the Three Chinese Musketeers.

September 4, 07/08 season, let's look forward to their performance.

※※※

On September 4, Serie A kicked off, and Inter Milan beat the promoted team Ascoli 2:0 at home in the opening game. AC Milan also beat Parma 3:1 away. Van Basten gave everyone a sigh of relief. His debut performance was very good.

Fiorentina lost 0-1 away to Lazio. They shot 30 times in the game, almost hitting Lazio, but they didn't score, allowing Lazio to score the only goal through a defensive counterattack.

This time, the Italian media did not express surprise. Their view was that it would be strange if such a chaotic team did not lose. Some media even started a "fatalism" saying that in the first round of last season, Fiorentina lost to Roma, but in the end, she ended up relegation. Now in the first round, she lost to a team that also came from Rome City. Does it also indicate that Fiorentina's road this season is bumpy?

As if to verify this statement, Fiorentina lost all three games in the next three games, one league round and two Cups of Italy. These two games lost in the Copa Italy directly led to the team not having the Cup in the next season - they were eliminated after entering the knockout round.

This result made Fiorentine fans angry. When they played against Chivo at home in the next third round of the league, they opened a slogan of "mercenary" in the stands. This title has now become the nickname of this Fiorentine team through the tireless promotion of Italian media.

The team did not perform well in the first half. In the first home game of the season, the players were under tremendous pressure, not in form, and were behind in the score and the scene. The booing of the fans never stopped since the team fell behind.

During the halftime break, Sabato was also very dissatisfied with the team's performance because the team did not implement his requirements, the defense and offense could not be coordinated, and the cooperation between the players was not tacit enough.

It's all good during training, but why does it change when the competition comes?

Moreover, he was not satisfied with the momentum shown by the team. He believed that the team should be full of murderous aura at his home court. But now they all seemed to sleepwalking and couldn't lift their energy.

How can this work?!

Continuous losses have a great impact on the team's morale, and they must now use a victory to stabilize the morale of the army.

Sabato scratched his hair and tilted his already messy collar even more. He looked at the silent players in the room. It was obvious that the beautiful aspirations before the season were too big and the reality. After all, most of the young players in the team were not able to stabilize their emotions at any time.

"Ah... I don't know what you are afraid of? They are ruthless on the court, like mothers. Is it because they just lost the Italian Cup for a season? Fuck it! That shit-like Italian Cup will lose, I don't care! You just play hard on the court. Let me tell you the truth, I'm under the pressure after losing a row, but I don't care what I'm talking about outside, what do those idiots know? The first few games were lost because we were fucking lucky! But today's backward is because you bastards are so shit!" After a month of getting along, the players have long been used to Sabato's speech style of swearing and spitting.

"This is our home court, but you let Chevo's idiots go wild on our territory." Sabato pointed to the door, opposite Chivo's locker room. His loud voice seemed to be not worried that the other party would hear this. "Murderfulness! Have murderous aura!" He clenched his hands into fists and shook hard in front of the players. "Xiang Tao! You told me that you are the second most fouls in the team than A, but in my technical statistics today, you didn't even have a single push. Did you not eat enough for lunch?! I sue

Let me tell you all, we are now behind at home and behind at home! Do you know what this means? We are embarrassed! Fuck... I am embarrassed! Push me up, I don't care about you fouls. If you want to foul, give me a fucking big one, but don't foul in the penalty area... Javier, you are the commander on the court, you have to look at the sixth place and listen to all directions, but your performance today is really disappointing. You don't want to be told by those idiotic media that you say--ah, fucking squatters, right?"

Mascherano shook his head quickly, as anxious as if he had been called "fucking squatter".

"Then do it well for me! Long passes, sideways, forwards, interceptions, whatever you want... I'll do it. My tactics give you full trust and freedom. If you don't do it well, you're fucking sorry. Cruel, your movements are a little dirty. I know you have a lot of small moves. Why are you polite to your opponents? In addition, I've told you many times that don't look up to find someone when you pass the ball. You are the front midfielder. You must be very familiar with the position and running route of attacking teammates. You have to pass the ball to them even if you don't look up. You have to know that if you can't be a fucking good midfielder!"

Cru rolled his eyes at Sabato. He had never thought about being an excellent midfielder. He used to play football to make money to treat his father. Now that the devil is gone, he has not yet found a reason to play football hard for a while.

"Zhang Jun, you are the captain, but you are too silent. I know you want to set an example with practical actions, but that's too old-fashioned. You have to shout, shout out loud, and anyone who doesn't do your best can be scolded. Don't open your mouth, you are the captain, you have the qualifications. Angelo and I don't wear the captain's armband for you because it looks good. And Tony, you are the center. I know you have good skills, but you should be a little more ruthless in physical confrontation. Even if you foul, we won't be awarded a penalty kick. What are you afraid of? If the center is weak, the group of defenders will think you are easy to bully."

"On the defense line... Well, it seems that there is still a problem with cooperation. We will solve this in the future. Now we need to attack. We are one goal behind. We must overtake. Because this is our home court. If you still want to make a difference this season, we cannot lose the home game!"

As Sabato was talking about his interest, Dilivio whispered a reminder of the time. Fifteen minutes passed quickly and it was time for them to play again.

Sabato was a little disappointed: "It's so fucking shit, the half-time break is too short. Well, bastards, the second half is about to begin. Go back to the court and give the idiots a little color and use the goal to tell them who's home court. Remember what I said just now, show your momentum. I'm far better than Chivo in my strength. We have no reason to lose at our home court! Now, let me go out and beat those poor people!"

Sabato suddenly opened the door to the locker room, and the noise of the court surged in. The players who were scolded by Sabato rushed out howled.

Although the head coach who swears in swearing every day, many times, these extremely crude words are really fucking useful.

That’s right! Now go out and teach the chaotic guys who dare to act wildly at our home court!

※※※

Dilivio waited for Sabato to leave before closing the door and going out. He cleaned up the locker room a little, and the emotional head coach made it a little messed up.

When he first started as Sabato's assistant, he was not used to the man's swearing words and some methods of doing things. But he couldn't show it because he was the bridge between the player and the coach.
To be continued...
