The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Sunday, a little bit late, I hope readers don’t pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

Although Arteta's joining gave Pirlo a reliable substitute and allowed Fiorentina to make up for the last shortcoming in the midfield, Mourinho was not in a hurry to let the Spaniard play on behalf of Fiorentina.After all, for Arteta, who has never been exposed to Italian football, it will take a long time to adapt to playing in a brand new environment.What's more, Arteta came to Fiorentina as a substitute for Pirlo, which requires him to fully understand and integrate into Viola's existing tactical system. Unnecessary confusion.

Therefore, in Mourinho's view, if Arteta wants to play on behalf of Fiorentina, he must at least wait for him to form an initial tacit understanding with other teammates and successfully integrate into Fiorentina's tactical system. Only after positioning.

"Boss, I understand what you mean." After Mourinho expressed his views to the Spaniard, Arteta did not express any dissatisfaction.The Spaniard is also very aware of his current situation in the team as a newcomer, so he is naturally not in a hurry to represent Fiorentina in an official game, "Don't worry, I will definitely get familiar with the team's tactics as soon as possible and form a tacit understanding with my teammates. If If I can’t complete these tasks, even if I’m allowed to play, I’m afraid it will be difficult to perform at my due level. Therefore, before completing these tasks, I will not have any requirements for playing time.”

For this opportunity to play in Fiorentina, Arteta cherishes it very much.Although he was born in the famous La Masia youth training camp, due to his own strength and talent, he was not favored by the Barcelona coaching staff. He was sold to Paris Saint-Germain without even a chance to represent the Barcelona first team. After wandering with Scotland for four full years, he was favored by the top giants.

Born in the youth training of a wealthy family, but experienced ups and downs after becoming a professional player, this experience has honed Arteta's character well and made him mentally prepared for joining Fiorentina.It is precisely because of this that Arteta behaved very calmly when Mourinho proposed that he would not be allowed to play for the time being, and expressed his willingness to obey all arrangements of the head coach.

If it is replaced by the core members of the small clubs who have just emerged and have not experienced much setbacks and tempering, they may have already gotten into trouble with Mourinho at this time.

Seeing Arteta's statement in this way, while Mourinho was relieved, he also raised his evaluation of the new aid to a higher level in his heart.After all, in this increasingly impetuous era, there are indeed fewer and fewer players like Arteta who are willing to lay down a solid foundation.Therefore, although Mourinho did not make any guarantees to Arteta in this conversation, he has already made a decision in his heart, as long as the Spaniard can show his due strength in team training, then He will give this rookie enough playing time!

Although at the end of this conversation, Arteta also expressed his desire to play, but this is really normal in Mourinho's view.After all, if Arteta really fulfilled these requirements, why did Mourinho not fulfill his promise and let him and Pirlo play in rotation?

Of course, before Arteta is integrated into the team's tactical system, Mourinho still has to find a way to solve the problem of Fiorentina's temporary lack of midfield substitutes.

At this time, the time has entered August of 04, the Olympic games are in full swing in Athens, the capital of Greece, and Florence has also ended its half-month summer training.After gathering Vieri and Inzaghi who have just returned from vacation and other international players who participated in this summer's European Cup, Mourinho is ready to lead the team for a series of warm-up matches, so that the players can get back as soon as possible. The state of the game, ready for the upcoming new season.

For Mourinho, who is coaching a top league team for the first time and is a top giant like Fiorentina, the pressure on him now can be said to be very huge.Countless eyes from fans and the media are staring at this Portuguese marshal who was only a little famous in the coaching circle before. If Mourinho does not start well in Fiorentina, then the voice of criticism will follow one after another. Shake his prestige in the team, as well as this hard-won coaching position.

However, what made Mourinho very dissatisfied was that the absolute main force of Fiorentina, Pirlo, who had just led the Italian national team to win the European Cup, was recruited by the Football Association to participate in the Olympic Games held in Athens before he had time to rest for a few days Football game!

"What are the officials and lords of the Football Association thinking! Do they know that making Andre (Pirlo) fatigued in the game will have a very serious negative impact on his professional life!" After learning the news , Mourinho was furious in his office.If Zhuang Mingge hadn't arrived in time to appease the Portuguese, I'm afraid Mourinho would have made trouble all the way to the headquarters of the Italian Football Association.

No wonder Mourinho is so angry. After all, the Italian Super Cup final to be held on August 8 is his first show after taking charge of Fiorentina's first-team coach. Of course, the Portuguese hopes to play with the strongest lineup to maximize guarantee the team's chances of winning.

You know, Fiorentina's opponents in this Italian Super Cup are not easy. The Lazio team led by Marshal Mancini has risen to a higher level after a summer of reinforcements. A team with the strength of a champion is already there, and Mourinho cannot be careless in the slightest.

The Fiorentina players who went to Athens with Pirlo were Daniele De Rossi and Gamberini, but these two were selected for the current Italian Olympic team as players of the right age, so even Mourinho , and there is no way to complain about it.

This also means that this time in the Italian Super Cup, Fiorentina will have to meet the menacing Blue Eagle Lazio without Pirlo, the midfield commander!

Similar to Mourinho's situation at this time, Lazio led by Mancini was also affected by the Olympic Games.Their midfielder Stankovic was selected as an overage player for the Serbia-Mongolia Olympic team and had to participate in the Olympic football match in August, and he would have to wait until the end of the group stage at the earliest before returning to the team.And this also means that Stankovic will definitely miss the Italian Super Cup final.
