Losing to Milan, ranked first in San Siro, is not the worst thing, after all, Fiorentina has a certain gap with Milan.

The bad thing is that the main striker Alberto Girardino was injured.

Alberto Girardino's importance to Fiorentina is self-evident. The former Milan striker left San Siro two years ago and joined Purple Lily for 14 million euros.

On October 18, 2008, Fiorentina defeated Regina 3-0 in the 7th round of Serie A. Giladino scored twice in the game and won his 100th goal in Serie A.

In the 2008-09 season, Girardino's form rebounded. In 35 league games, Girardino contributed 19 goals and 6 assists, helping the team win the fourth place in the league. Girardino also scored 6 goals in the European court.

Last season, Girardino made 48 appearances for Fiorentina in various competitions and scored 19 goals, making him the most important scorer in the team.

After the game, according to the team doctor's diagnosis, Girardino had a groin injury and needed a month of rest.

Giladino was injured, and Fiorentina had three useful strikers left, Kuma Babaka, Ndiaye, Adrian Mutu. As for the other two strikers, they could only play as substitutes, which was useless.

The bad luck continued to cover the purple lily. Two days later, Kuma Babaka wounded her right thigh during training and needed two weeks of rest.

Mikhainovic only has two available strikers left, and Adrian Mutu has been injured.

The Serbians are in trouble. If Adrian Mutu is injured in the game, he will face an unchangeable situation.

In order to solve the problem of the forward, Mikhainovic focused on the reserve team. However, after investigation, the three forwards of the reserve team were unable to enter his eyes and he was hesitating.

what to do?

Should we urgently introduce a powerful striker?

Mikhainovic decided to discuss it with club director Cecilio.

...

In the office of the Florence club director, youth team head coach Carmelo is paying back the work of the youth team to Cecilio.

"Carmero, your work this season can be described as 'excellent', and it's the top spot!"

The youth team is a warehouse of reserve talents for the club. The good performance of the youth team means that the club has a strong talent reserve.

The Fiorentina youth team is better than the Juventus youth team and the Milan youth team and ranks first in the standings, which surprised the outside world and also surprised and happy the Fiorentina club.

Carmelo said modestly with a smile: "The season is still very long, and being ranked first now doesn't mean anything."

Cecilio nodded and said, "It's great that you have such a clear understanding. Can you tell me why the youth team can be so strong this season?"

"Help, help, help..."

Carmelo happened to answer, and at this moment someone knocked on the door. Cecilia signaled him apologetically, stood up from the sofa and opened the door.

"Mr. Mikhainovic?!"

Cecilio looked at the person outside the door in surprise: "What's the matter that you need to come in person?"

Mikhanovic hugged Cecilio gently: "Hello, Mr. Cecilio, some things cannot be explained clearly on the phone, so I can only talk in person."

Cecilio bent over gently: "Okay! Please!"

As soon as Mikhainovic entered the door, he saw Carmero. The two greeted each other warmly, and then the three of them sat on the sofa.

"You guys keep going."

Mikhanovic knew that Carmelo must be here to report on his work.

Cecilia nodded at Carmelo, and Carmelo was not polite, and continued the topic just now: "The main reason why we can rank first in the standings is that we did a good job of defense first..."

First in the standings?

Mikhainovic did not pay attention to the performance of the reserve team and the youth team, after all, the matter of the first team is enough for him to be busy.

Not bad, the Serbs looked at Carmelo with a strange look.

"Of course, the main reason is that we have strong attack power. In the past fifteen rounds, we have scored 34 goals, ranking first in all teams!"

Mikhanovic looked at Carmelo who was talking, and his eyes showed a sense of emotion.

"The king ranked first in the scorer list with twenty-one goals, with seven more goals than the second place!"

Speaking of this, Carmelo's eyes flashed with a proud look.

"Twenty-one goals in fifteen rounds?"

Mikhainovic raised his hand and gestured, looking at Carmelo and asked, "Do you say someone in the youth team scored twenty-one goals in fifteen games?"

He wants to confirm this information. Although the level of the youth team cannot be compared with Serie A, the player who averages more than one goal per game must be a young talent or even a genius!

Carmero looked at the Serbian and said, "Yes, Mr. Mikhainovic, scored twenty-one goals in fifteen games, three of which completed a hat-trick."

Mikhanovic fell into deep thought.

Carmelo turned around and continued to report: "As far as the situation is concerned, the team has not suffered large-scale injuries, and their morale is strong..."

After the report, Cecilio encouraged Carmelo, hoping that he could lead the youth team to achieve good results.

The two then said goodbye.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Carmelo!"

Mikhainovic suddenly woke up from contemplation, and Carmelo stopped and looked at him.

"Can you give me a detailed introduction to that team member? I'm interested in him."

Carmelo opened his mouth slightly. Does he want Wang Jin to advance to the reserve team?

Carmelo knew the embarrassment of the first team's forward line. Wang Qi went to the reserve team to train and might be able to be promoted to the first team at any time.

"Wang is a Chinese player, but he has been in Genoa since he was a child and was recruited by us this summer."

Carmelo then began to introduce Wang Qi's specific situation: "This is a super fast player, his thirty meters reaching three seconds and five!"

Mikhainovic said in surprise: "Three seconds and five?!!! Oh, you continue..."

Carmelo continued: "Because of the fast speed, the king is our biggest weapon for defensive counterattacks. Ten of his twenty-one goals were completed through counterattacks."

"In addition, I am cultivating the King's goal-snatch forward. He has a very sensitive sense of smell in the penalty area. He scored seven goals in front of the goal..."

After Carmero's introduction, Mikhainovic pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Carmero, I have an idea to recruit this player to the first team."

In fact, the head coach of the first team recruits reserve team and youth team players, and there is no need to solicit opinions from reserve team and youth team coaches. After all, the purpose of these two teams is to provide talents to the first team.

He did this to respect Carmelo.

"Team One? Shouldn't it be a reserve team?"

Carmelo felt very strange: "Is the reserve striker not easy to use?"
