The Era of Emerald

() As Fiorentina successfully won the European Champions Cup at the Olympic Stadium, the 1995-96 season came to an end!

Next, the Fiorentina players will be divided into two groups, a group of players who have no game tasks in the summer, such as Ronaldo, who can't wait to go on vacation after receiving the bonus. After all, after a long season, they really need Take a good rest and adjust your mood.

The remaining players did not leave Fiorentina immediately, but waited here for the call of the national team coach, because in the next month, there will be another event that attracts much attention in England, that is, European football championship!

Since Jacquet succeeded Houllier as the coach of the French national team, this coach who firmly said "no" to Cantona established the French team with Zidane as the core of the new generation, as Zidane's most powerful midfielder. Helping, Djorkaeff naturally booked an early flight to England. <Compared to the proud Djorkaeff, the other Fiorentina players are a bit of a cup.

As the first team in the history of Italian football to win the Triple Crown, the strength of the Fiorentina players has been recognized by fans and professionals. Therefore, the calls for them to be included in Italy's squad for the European Cup are also extremely high.

But the fans apparently forgot that the current coach of the Italian national team is not the good old man Vicini, but Sacchi, who is known for his paranoia.

Although Sacchi doesn't like to see these players in the Fiorentina team who are not directly related to him, Fiorentina's outstanding performance this season also made him hesitate when choosing players, and he has to think carefully about the Italian country's participation in England this summer. The 22-man squad for the European Cup.

After all, there are many local players in Florence's main lineup, such as Roberto Baggio, Ferrara, Kripa, Filicano, Lanna, etc., and some have scored 18 league goals this season. Young talents such as Philip Inzaghi, Nesta, who is known as the next Baresi, Di Biagio, Zambrotta, etc., these players have made great contributions to Fiorentina's victory in the Triple Crown this season.

If Fiorentina, which has won the triple crown this season, does not even have a player selected for the Italian national team due to "some reasons", then Sacchi will be drowned by the saliva of all Italian fans and the media...

Just when Sacchi was delaying the announcement of the list of players for the European Cup, the head coach of the German national team, Vogts, set an example for Sacchi.

On May 24th, Vogts announced the national team squad for the European Cup in England. Matthaus, who had a very tense relationship with Mann, was naturally dropped from the European Cup squad and became the first big-name star to miss the European Cup.

Effenberg and Matthaus, who played for Fiorentina, have become brothers and sisters. Although he led the team to create a treble as the core of Fiorentina this season, the head coach Vogts still kicked him out. List, the reason is only because of his "previous record" in the World Cup in the United States.

The failure of Effenberg and Matthaus to the national team completely angered the German media. In their view, it is completely unacceptable for the head coach and players to bring personal grievances to the national team.In a routine interview, when Vogts complained to reporters that there were so few outstanding players in German football in recent years that he had to select talents from some middle and lower teams, the reporter unceremoniously asked why he didn't use horses. Teus and Effenberg?

As a result, Vogts, who felt extremely embarrassed, had no choice but to end the interview hastily, and hid in the training base of the German national team. Trying to respond to people's doubts with excellent results in the European Cup.

It seems to be stimulated by Vogts. Italy, which has not announced the national team roster for a long time, has finally released the news publicly: on May 5th, Italian national team coach Arango Sacchi will announce at the Milanello training base. Participate in the 28-man squad for the European Cup in England!

Fiorentina, who has never been valued by Sacchi, this time, how many places can they occupy in the Italian national team?

In the eager waiting of countless Italian fans, the time soon came to reveal the answer.

On May 28th, in the meeting hall of the Milanello training base, under the protection of heavy security personnel, Italian coach Sacchi faced many reporters and announced the 22-man squad for the European Cup that he personally finalized!

"Antonio, how many Italian players in Florence do you think can go to the next European Cup?" Rebecca Groz, who was sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast in a mansion in Florence, asked.

"Hehe, I really can't guess this one. I think only God can know the structure of Saki's brain." Zhuang Mingge smiled and shook his head, and said, "Two years ago in the World Cup in the United States, Saki did his best. He rejected Vialli and Mancini against all opinions, and as a result won a World Cup runner-up for Italy. With such experience as a foundation, Sacchi will not choose players he doesn't like for the sake of other people's feelings. "

"How could this be..." Judging from Rebecca's expression, the rich girl obviously couldn't believe Zhuang Mingge's self-willed style, and Alisa, who was sitting on the other side, puffed up her mouth .In their view, if Italy wants to achieve good results in the competition, it must first unite all the players as much as possible, instead of the head coach taking the lead in infighting there, "No matter how you say it, the best players in Italy are those people. There may be a few people who have some conflicts with coach Saki and missed the national team, but he should not be stubborn enough to exclude a large number of good players..."

Just as Rebecca said this, the news conference broadcast live on TV finally got to the point.

"Dear friends present, I will announce the 22-man squad for Italy to participate in this European Cup. The first is the goalkeeper position. The three selected players are Angel Peruzzi from the Juventus club. Fiorentina's goalkeeper Francesco Toldo, and Parma's main goalkeeper Luca Bucci!"

The first sentence of Sacchi's press conference caused an uproar in the venue. No one expected that in the goalkeeper position, he played se in the World Cup in the United States two years ago and worked side by side with Roberto Baggio The No. [-] goalkeeper Pagliuca who sent Italy to the World Cup final together will lose the squad for this European Cup at this time!
