Chapter 62 No way

When the warmth of parting dissipates, people become real again.

Before Florence could celebrate their entry into the Champions League again, Pacinwa, the executive chairman of the club, received a notice from the Italian Football Association to hold a league meeting.

If it were put in the past, people would not feel anything. At the end of each season, all Italian professional league teams will gather in Rome to hold a meeting to discuss some matters next season.

But this time it was obviously different, because it used to be a letter from the Football Association, and this time it was indeed that the president of the Italian Football Association personally called Pakinwa. Not only did the call Pakinwa, but also Delavale also talked to the president of the Italian Football Association for nearly half an hour on the phone.

Although Delaware was banned from participating in football-related activities by the Italian Football Association because of the phone time, everyone knows that the real person in Florence is Delaware, and Pakinwa was pushed to the front desk, but it was just a microphone.

"Rod! It seems that you guessed right. Berlusconi really hit us with the idea!"

In Delaware's mansion, Degan came to this place for the first time. He had also been to Riodo's private residence when he was in Atlanta.

As expected, after losing the last round of the league and losing the qualification to advance to the Champions League, Berlusconi was not reconciled. He first found UEFA and, as the defending champion, asked UEFA to give a foreign card to imitate Liverpool's precedent and let them participate in the Champions League, but Rejected by Platini.

Previously, Liverpool participated in the competition with a foreign card, starting from the first round of the qualifiers, which was an exception. At that time, UEFA said that Liverpool's situation would never happen again in the future.

UEFA was reluctant to slap itself in the face and could only return the ball to the Italian Football Association. What can the Italian Football Association do?

They can't afford to offend Berlusconi, so they can only hope that Florence will take the initiative to carry forward the style and give up a place in the Champions League to complete AC Milan.

"They are delusional." Degan had a hunch that although Italian football showed some signs of rectification after the telephone gate incident, in the final analysis, Italy is not ordinary from top to bottom. It is more difficult for them to truly purify the environment of football than to the sky.

AC Milan does not want to miss the Champions League next season, and because they are the defending champions, they have enough confidence to speak, and the Italian Football Association can only compromise.

But is it really that easy to satisfy Florence, the greedy child Berlusconi?

"Why should we give up the hard-won seats to satisfy Berlusconi?"

Dravale nodded and said, "Rod! Seriously, I don't want to, but sometimes we have to make some compromises!"

Digan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. Is Delaware really going to give in?

"Mr. Chairman, I want to know your real idea, whether to let or not?" Degan doesn't like to talk in a roundabout way. If Delaware said today that he intends to give up the Champions League ticket to AC Milan, he would not oppose it fiercely, but his fate with Florence will be broken.

Digan doesn't want to be cowardly in a club with no temper.

Dravale naturally understands the character of Degan. In fact, if it weren't for Degan, he would have really planned to compromise. After all, on AC Milan, Berlusconi's conditions are not low. He will not only share the bonuses of the Champions League equally, but also prepare for more comprehensive cooperation with Fiorentina, such as loan players. Wait a minute.

But with Degan, the situation is completely different. If Florence without Degan is only an important force in Italian football that cannot be ignored, then with Degan's Florence, they already have the ability to compete for the championship and may even completely subvert Italian football. The division ushered in a new era.

Since he has taken the road of football, of course, Delaware is not willing to make small trouble. He also has ambitions. His ambition is to let Florence dominate Italy.

In this case, it is impossible to make concessions to AC Milan. Now Florence has elevated itself to a position tied with AC Milan. May I ask, who is willing to give in to its competitors?

Delaware smiled. Although Degan's attitude is tough, he is not disgusted. If he wants to make a big career in football, Fiorentina needs players like Degan as their commander.

"No! Of course, I won't agree. This ticket to the Champions League is for us and our real strength, and everyone knows what the Champions League means, not only honors, but also rich benefits, Rod! Don't forget that I'm a businessman, and there's no reason to give the money I get to others!"

Hearing what Delavale said, Digan was relieved, but since Delaware already had a calculation in his mind, why did he come here?

Dravale quickly gave the answer: "Rod! Demy is now retired, and the team needs a new captain. I hope you can take on this responsibility. No one in Florence is more suitable to wear the captain's armband!"

Digan had already guessed this matter. Previously, he was the vice captain of Florence. Since his comeback, Dainelli has become the third captain of the team. After Albertini retires, Degan will naturally become the new captain of Florence.

"Of course! I'd love to, and it's a great honor!"

Dravale laughed and said, "No! Rod! You haven't understood what I really mean. I need you to take on more important responsibilities!"

More important responsibilities?

"Last summer, I was very satisfied with your work in the transfer market with Prandelli, really! I am very gratified that you have jointly built a super team for Fiorentina. Now I hope you can really take over this work. From now on, I hope you can take on the transfer power of Florence!"

If Delaware had some doubts about Degan before, he was really convinced after this season. Every player introduced by Degan showed their value. Even Wenger, who claims to be the best at discovering and cultivating new stars, will be in front of Degan. It looks dwarfed.

Will Degan refuse?

Of course not!

"No problem, I'm willing to accept this task!"

After meeting with Degan, Delaware quickly issued a statement through Pakinwa. This statement is very simple. Doesn't AC Milan want Fiorentina to carry forward its style, take into account the overall situation, and give up a place in the Champions League?

Florence's answer is just two words!

Then, Degan, who was about to go on vacation, was also interviewed by reporters at the airport: "We are not interested in giving up what belongs to others. This season, my teammates and Florence's coaching staff have also worked hard. We also sweated on the football field, and now we have harvested. It's time. Why should we give up our interests and let others pick peaches? Not only do we players, but the coach will not agree, and the fans of Florence will not agree. Because of some things, we have missed the Champions League once and will never miss another time. As for AC Milan, what should they do? Well, that's not what we need to care about.

Who stipulated that the defending champion must participate in the competition? Even in the World Cup, I don't think there will be such ridiculous rules. If you all think AC Milan must participate, why do we waste a season competing for the seats we have now and let UEFA directly announce the places before the start of each season? It's not easier!"

"Okay! I don't want to listen to your bullshit anymore, and I'm not going to 'do justice' for AC Milan. It's ours, not ours, and we won't brazenly grab the place like some people. The Champions League is the result of our team's efforts and the greatest gift we give to our fans. We I won't let anyone tell Berlusconi that he is not Florentino, AC Milan, nor Real Madrid, and we are not Zaragoza!"

Degan's words completely made AC Milan's hope of grab a place in Fiorentina's Champions League. Everyone knows the importance of Degan to Fiorentina. If he doesn't agree, even if Delaware is moved, he will have to weigh it. If he really provokes Degan, what's wrong with him? All can be done.

However, will Berlusconi give up?

The interests of the Champions League and the League Cup are very different. AC Milan is used to eating delicacies and Man-Han cuisine. Now they are suddenly asked to eat Northeast pig-killing vegetables. Can they eat them?

But there is nothing we can do. Florence is not willing to satisfy their appetite, and Berlusconi can only find another way.

"If the defending champion can't participate in the Champions League next season, I don't know what the significance of that trophy is. This is definitely the biggest shame in the Champions League. What we need to do now is to avoid and let this happen."

Berlusconi's righteous words, Degan, who has arrived in the resort of Bali, just said lightly: "The defending champion can't reach the Champions League, which is the greatest shame!"

It is said that Berlusconi was angry for three months after listening to Degan's words.
