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.

PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friends "Xiao Li Feihua", "Tianyuan Hanqi" and "Quiet Dance" for their rewards.

Since Pirlo and Shevchenko's achievements in the past year are really close, the debate between Fiorentina and AC Milan fans about who is more qualified to win the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer It will continue for quite some time.

For this situation, as the organizers of the two major selections of the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, the "French Football" magazine and FIFA are naturally happy to see it.After all, unless the winner is really inferior to his competitors in terms of hardware, this kind of debate among fans about the selection results will not cause much damage to the authority of the selection, but will greatly enhance the selection. The influence and attention of the two selections among the fan groups.

Since it is reasonable for both Pirlo and Shevchenko to win the award, then "French Football" and FIFA will naturally not stop or obstruct the fans' remarks, but will secretly add to the flames and increase the controversy In order to attract more people to pay attention to these two selections.

Although the fans were arguing about the selection results in full swing, at the club level, neither Fiorentina nor AC Milan had any thoughts or plans to get involved in this debate.In their view, if they have the time to argue, they might as well negotiate more commercial sponsorship contracts, or find ways to develop more fans, sell more jerseys and peripheral products.

For professional football clubs, this kind of argument that cannot bring even a dollar in revenue is basically of little interest to them. The same is true for AC Milan and Fiorentina. In the eyes of these two clubs, it is enough for players and fans to participate in this kind of debate. Rather than racking their brains to criticize the selection results, they are more willing to celebrate the award-winning Sheva and Pirlo. The ceremony enhances the players' sense of belonging to the club.

After New Year's Day, the Fiorentina players who returned from the Christmas holidays returned to intensive training under the supervision of the coaching staff.Although Fiorentina is now maintaining a fairly good momentum on all fronts, for these players who experienced the team's lack of success in the final stage of last season and had to return with regrets in the Champions League, they don't want to play twice in a row. Got deflated on the same issue.

Therefore, even though the current situation of the team is very good, and it is very hopeful to reproduce the great achievements of the Triple Crown, the Fiorentina players did not show the slightest slack in training, but instead practiced various tactics more seriously.In particular, Mourinho's latest offensive system, which greatly increases the frequency of frontcourt players' cross-transpositions, players have spent a lot of energy and time on rehearsal and running-in.Because they know that once this set of tactics is perfected, Fiorentina will have a qualitative leap in strength, and it will be easier to score goals in the game!

What's more, although Fiorentina is triumphant in Serie A, they have only won two games in Serie A this season (17 matches, 15 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss). The second-placed Juventus did not show signs of falling behind because of Viola's strong performance.

So far, the Bianconeri have only lost two games in the league, and they are temporarily ranked No.2 in the standings by only one point!Therefore, for the current Florence, the situation is far from good enough to let them relax their vigilance.In other words, until the Serie A championship trophy is locked, the players do not intend to relax.Because they knew very well in their hearts that as long as they slowed down the speed of grabbing points, Juventus, who had been watching behind them all the time, would definitely rush out and take away the top position they had so hard to get!

Therefore, with the joint efforts of the players and the coaching staff, Fiorentina continued the good state before the winter break in the January game, and successively sent four teams including Reggina, Chievo, Messina and Udinese. He was beaten by Zeman's stormy attack in the No.20 away game against Sampdoria in the league, and suffered his second defeat since the start of the Serie A this season.

For this loss to Sampdoria, Mourinho can only express regret.Although in this game, the performance of the Fiorentina players can be said to be quite good. Ronaldo, Milito and Ballack all won, and Nesta and others did not slack at all in defense, but Viola was unlucky. , What they encountered on this day was a Sampdoria team that was in full condition!

The Fiorentina players tried their best in this game to intercept the attack of the Aquamarine Corps, but the Samp players did not know what medicine they took wrongly today. With consecutive quick passes, the ball was passed into the penalty area before the Fiorentina players set up their defense, and then Falcao, who was ambushing in the penalty area, completed the shot!

In the end, Colombian center Falcao staged a hat-trick with an overhead kick, and Veron assisted Skrtel with a free kick to score with a header. Relying on these four goals, the Aquamarine defeated Fiorentina in a thrilling manner at the Ferraris Stadium and won the game. Victory in the goal shootout!

Although Fiorentina unfortunately failed to maintain their winning streak and even lost points against Sampdoria, but fortunately, Juventus did not take the opportunity to complete the overtake in the standings - in these five league games in January Among them, the Bianconeri achieved four wins and one draw, and only shook hands with Chievo in the No.20 round of Serie A.

However, because the Bianconeri scored one more point than Fiorentina during this period.Therefore, when the league in January was all over, people were surprised to find that the two teams, Juventus and Fiorentina, were tied in the standings again, only because of inferior goals and goal difference. Viola squeezed to the second place in the standings.

It can be seen that Fiorentina wants to completely throw off Juventus in terms of points and ensure their dominant position in the league before the Champions League reignites. They still need to make more efforts.

However, with the toughness shown by Juventus this season, it may not be an easy task for Fiorentina to achieve this goal.
