Chapter 71 Accidental Visitor

After defeating Cagliari, Ancelotti believes that AC Milan's front line now has Shevchenko, Gilardino, Inzaghi and Vieri, who can also score goals, and in terms of popularity, it is more influential among fans. Naturally, people should forget the existence of Degan.

Is it really so easy?

A super freak who can score 54 goals in a single season, a goal machine that can score 13 goals in a single game make people forget in just one game?

All this is just Ancelotti's self-righteous imagination!

Then, the draw with Eindhoven, the unstable state of the striker was exposed again, and Shevchenko was injured and would be absent for at least a month. Although Gilardino gradually found his state, Zaghi and Vieri obviously can't count on it now, and now it's Ancelotti's turn. It hurts.

What's worse is that AC Milan will face a two-line battle in the next two weeks. It is obviously a little difficult to deal with these players alone.

Galliani is also busy fighting with the Italian Football Association. For a while, Degan seems to have been really forgotten. There is no club around him, only two outreach officials of the national team often come to visit Degan's recovery.

Damn it! Is it so unsnable?

The club doesn't care, and Digan can't help but be a little angry. Isn't AC Milan promoting a warm family? But what Digan now feels is clearly that the human relationship is cold and warm, and the world is cold.

However, it was forgotten by AC Milan, but there are still people in the world who are thinking about Degan. Looking at the two people standing in front of him, Degan is also full of doubts.

"Come from Delaware? The president of the Florence Club?

The middle-aged man in front of him smiled and said, "That's right! I'm coming from Delaware!"

Drava can also be regarded as a celebrity in Italian football. At the beginning, Gao Qi's eager business style made Florence, an established team, finally bankrupt. When everyone thought that the purple lily was inevitable to wither, it was this Italian leather shoe king who brought Florence back to life.

It took only two years to complete the triple jump and entered the Serie A from the second division, creating a big myth.

However, Florence, which was determined to compete in European competitions last season, could only be relegated in the end, but this summer, Delaware came to make a big deal again and introduced Luca one after another. Tony, Pazzini, Montolivo, Albertini and other tough players, after seven rounds of fighting, ranked seventh in the standings, only behind Juventus and AC Milan.

What did Delaware come to Digan for?

Degan knew that Florence tried to bring him in when he played in Atlanta last season, but Galliani's attitude was very resolute at that time, and Digan was not willing to go to a team that had just been reborn from the ruins. He has proved himself in Italy and what he needs next It's a bigger stage, and Florence can't provide him with this stage.

"Helhow! What does this mean!?

It was Degan's agent Helhow who came with Delaware. Mendes.

Menders knew that Degan might have misunderstood and quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong! Rod! I just came to visit in my personal capacity today, and I happened to meet Mr. Delaware outside! I think you should need me to give you some advice at this time, so we came here together!"

Digan saw Mendes talking and winked at him. Obviously, he didn't tell the truth. What Mendes was thinking. Digan knew very well. From the beginning, Mendes opposed him returning to AC Milan, and also helped him analyze the difficulties he would encounter after returning to Milan, but at that time, Degan was very stubborn and always felt He can succeed with his strength, but in fact, the result is not as optimistic as he thought. There are too many rich teams that he can't understand.

Since Delaware has come, it is not easy for Digan to refuse people thousands of miles away: "Mr. Delaware! Please sit down!"

Digan is clear about the intention of coming to Delaware, but as the chairman of a club, Digan was really moved to come to Belgium in person.

Drava came to do it well with a comfortable and warm smile on his face: "Rod! Can I call you that?"

Digan nodded: "Of course!"

Drava came and said, "Rod! I think you have guessed the intention of coming here. I have communicated with Mr. Mendes when I was downstairs just now, but he said that you should listen to your opinion on this matter. I want to know what you think of playing football in Florence!

What do you think?

Degan really has no opinion. In fact, he has never thought of going to Florence. Although Purple Lily is an indispensable powerful force in Italian football, it is difficult for them to make a difference under the suppression of the top three in the north.

Degan can win the Serie A and Coppa Italia with a group of unknown teammates in Atlanta. A large part of this is due to luck. Even if he can do the same thing in Florence, there is no strong team in the European arena. I'm afraid Degan is also There is nothing he can do. He doesn't want to dominate Italy all his life. He hopes to go out and create his own era in a strong team.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Delaware, I'm a player now. I still have a two-and-a-half-year contract with Milan. I don't want to think about anything else before the end of the contract. I'm very grateful that you can come here in person today, but I can only say sorry!"

Dravalai was not so disappointed. Maybe he had guessed that the trip would not be too smooth, but it was obviously not his character to give up like this.

Drava was able to take charge of a bankrupt club and was finally reborn. He must have his uniqueness. Last season, he was very eager to introduce Degan, but unfortunately he could only end up in failure.

After that, Degan returned to AC Milan, and Delava basically gave up, otherwise he would not have introduced Luca. Tony, a strong center, and Degan's teammate Pazini.

However, now Degan's situation has ignited him hope again!

Fans all over the world know that Degan can't be reused in AC Milan. The contradictions with Ancelotti and his teammates make him unhappy in Milan. Why not take this opportunity to bring Degan to Florence?

"Rod! Don't be busy refusing. I think you have plenty of time now. I can tell you about my plan. Fiorentina will not be satisfied by returning to Serie A. We still have more ambitious goals.

Digan does not deny that Fiorentina will indeed become an emerging force in Italian football under the control of Delava, and even replace AC Milan.

When they did their best, they even rushed to the top three in Serie A, and AC Milan finally ranked fourth that season.

Florence was founded in 1926. The first championship came from the Italian Cup champion in 1939/1940. In 1956, they ushered in a small glorious period after the establishment of the club. In that season, Florence suspended the combination of AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus. He continued the record of six-year league championship and ascended to the league for the first time with 12 wins and 5 home unbeaten posture, but after that, AC Milan and Juventus' excellent performance made Fiorentina only runner-up for four consecutive years.

1960/1961, Florence won the second Italian Cup trophy, and then reached the European Cup Winners' Cup final and defeated Glasgow Rangers Football Club of Scotland to win the club's first European championship. The following year, it advanced to the final again, but failed to defend the title at Madrid Sports Club.

In the mid-to-late 1960s, Fiorentina won the league championship for the second time in the team's history.

However, in the 1980s, Florence began to decline and was relegated in 1992/1993, but after a year of hard work, it returned to the top league as the champion of the second division.

With the joining of Argentine striker Batistuta, he became one of the strong teams in Serie A for Fiorentina in the 1990s. He once won the Coppa Italia twice, and Batistuta once became the symbol of Fiorentina.

After entering the millennium, Fiorentina also ushered in their history of hard struggle. First, a group of meritorious officials transferred to other Serie A teams. In addition, in 2001, they had financial problems and were unable to pay salaries and were in debts of up to 50 million US dollars. At that time, the team's chairman Gao Qi did not consider the financial situation of the club. Instead, it continues to acquire players. In the 2001/2002 season, it ranked second from the bottom in the league and was relegated again. In July of the same year, because it could not hand over the $40 million deposit to participate in Serie B, the club officially announced the bankruptcy on August 1, but the Italian Football Association held an important position in the Italian football world, so it was licensed to participate. Group 2 of the third division, and with the help of domestic famous shoe manufacturer Delaware to form a new team FlorentiaViola, while captain Di Livio did not leave the team to lead the team to continue the game.

Florence performed well in Group 3 and easily won the championship with 20 wins, 10 and 4 losses. In the summer of 2003, Delaware bought the name "Fiorentina" for 2.5 million euros and returned to Florence to participate in the competition.

At the same time, the Italian Football Association expanded the second division to 24 teams in the 2003/2004 season, so it retained Catania Football Club, Genoa Football Club, Charenitana Football Club and Cosenza Football Club that originally landed in the league last season, and then because of the latter's financial In the end, the FA chose to replace Fiorentina to participate in Group B.

After hard work, Florence won the sixth place in the league and needed to compete with Perugia, who ranked 15th in Group A, to qualify for the League of the next season. Fiorentina defeated its opponent 1-0 in the first round, and then tied the opponent 1:1 under the second round. He attended the Serie A again with a score of 2:1.

This team, which was still in Group C in 2003, took only two years to return to the top league, which has to be said to be a miracle.

Digan didn't know why Delava came to say this to him, and then Drava's words really attracted Degan's attention.
