Some people may ask, didn't Parma win the European Cup Winners' Cup last season, the influence of this trophy should be, why did it not attract the attention of the mainstream European football circle until today?

It is true to say so, but don’t forget that after entering the Bosman era and experiencing the expansion of the Champions League, the influence of the other two major European cups, the UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup, has been greatly reduced. forward.Therefore, even if Parma wins the Cup Winners' Cup, it will not have much positive impact on improving their evaluation among fans and media groups.Under such circumstances, the effect of a European Cup Winners' Cup Champion on increasing the value of its players may really not be as good as a Serie A match with Fiorentina.

At this point, the experience of the two clubs Porto and Atletico Madrid in the previous life is undoubtedly the most convincing.After the former won the UEFA Cup, Portuguese Super League and Portuguese Cup Triple Crown in 03, it is still considered by most fans as a second-rate strong team; while the latter has not been recognized by fans even if it won two UEFA Cups within three years , On the contrary, after reaching a Champions League final under the leadership of Simeone, it really became the third pole of La Liga that can compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​​​the two Western Super League teams.

The huge gap in influence between the Champions Cup and other intercontinental events of the same type can be seen from this.

And now, after defeating Fiorentina in a head-to-head confrontation in the league, this Parma youth army has received people's attention and recognition.Although Fiorentina's defeat included many objective factors, football always depends on the result, and a loss is a loss. No matter how many reasons Heynckes and Fiorentina players have, they cannot change this fact.

What's more, if it weren't for Parma's own strength, even if Fiorentina let loose in this game, they would not be able to win a victory over Viola.Therefore, as the winner, Parma deserves the praise and attention of people.

In addition to Adriano, who is most sought after by various wealthy clubs, players such as Marchionne, De Sanctis, and Dirk have also been favored by many clubs.For example, Mo Laohu is eyeing on Dirk, thinking that this tenacious and spiritual young Dutch player is in line with Juventus' employment standards; while the Romans are in love with Parma's current captain Matteo Ferrari , after Aldair retired and Zago left, the Red Wolves only had Argentine "The Rock" Samuel in the central defender position. Therefore, Ferrari, who performed well in Parma, naturally attracted attention. Capello's attention.

Although Fiorentina's winning streak at the start of the league in the 03-04 season was regrettably ended by the young Parma at the number of eight consecutive victories, but this does not mean that Heynckes set for the team the league points at the beginning of the season Strategy will come to an end for now.

You know, Fiorentina currently ranks first in Group B with ten points in the Champions League group stage, Real Sociedad ranks second in the group with a difference of three points, and No.3 Ajax is in the top four Only four points were scored in the first round of competition, and only one draw and one loss were achieved in the two rounds against Fiorentina. Therefore, even if Fiorentina loses the last two group matches, they will not be reduced to missing the Champions League. The level of the top six.After all, according to the relevant rules formulated by UEFA, when there are teams in the group with the same score, the ranking order of the teams is given priority by referring to the results of these teams' mutual matches, rather than looking at each team first. What about goal difference?

This also means that Fiorentina, which has already secured a place for promotion to the top [-] and has little pressure to qualify for the Champions League, can still concentrate on attacking the Serie A battlefield during this period of time and continue to implement the league rush made by Heynckes. sub-strategy.

Just as the Fiorentina players were training in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Heynckes, preparing for the next game seriously, another storm broke out in Italy.

It turned out that the Italian Football Association held a press conference the day after the ninth round of the league, announcing that it will hold the first Serie A All-Star Game before the Serie A enters the winter break this season!

The announcement of this news immediately aroused the eager attention of countless media and fans.After all, for these people, the stars who are famous on the football field are the focus of their attention.For example, maybe Giuly and Vincent are more powerful and have better actual combat effects when they cooperate with Vieri, but fans are obviously more willing to see superstars like Nedved and Figo pass the ball to Vieri Scenes.

However, fans also know that in the real world, it is extremely difficult for them to realize this wish.Not to mention the conflicts in the locker room and the huge salary pressure that may be brought about by gathering these superstars in one team, it is still a question of whether those teams are willing to sell their star players.

Therefore, when the fans learned that this time there was an opportunity to make their usual fantasies come true, these fans burst out with unparalleled enthusiasm!

As for the specific election method and operational details, the Italian Football Association has largely followed the election model of the NBA All-Star Game this time, giving the fans the right to vote for a total of 22 starting players from the two teams. It is up to the two head coaches to choose.In this way, it can not only take care of the emotions of the fans, but also maximize the performance.

Of course, due to the many differences between football and basketball games, the Italian Football Association has also made corresponding adjustments in some details.For example, in order to ensure that the starting lineups of the two teams will not be seriously unbalanced offensively and defensively, the Italian Football Association prioritizes the head coaches and game formations of the two teams, and then strictly classifies the players according to their positions, so as to avoid the emergence of a single team. It's an embarrassing situation where the starting players are all offensive players.

For example, if the formation is determined to be 10, no matter how many votes the third player on the striker list gets, it is impossible to get the chance to start playing; even if a certain central defender gets more votes than No. The player is still low, as long as he ranks in the top two on the list at his position, he can still qualify for the All-Star starter.

Although the English media complained sourly on the sidelines, saying that the Italian Football Association's election model meant to imitate the NBA All-Star Game, all fans and media who paid attention to the League One obviously did not care about these insignificant things that the English said.

In this way, under the publicity campaign planned in advance by the Italian Football Association, although there are still three full days before the official voting day, the fans can't wait to cast their votes for those famous stars!
