The Era of Emerald

()What the hell!Big news!Pagliuca, the main goalkeeper of the last World Cup, was kicked out of the squad by Sacchi!

Zhuang Mingge was also stunned when he heard Saki's speech. Although Toldo was very happy to be selected for the squad, he was very puzzled by Pagliuca's loss. After all, Pagliuca's game experience In terms of personal ability, he is much better than Butch!

But at this moment, Sacchi obviously has no extra time to give any official explanation for his speech. The "shoemaker" continued to read the names of the players who were shortlisted for the European Cup: "Maldini, Carboni (this gentleman is the one who played for the European Cup later) Valencia's veteran), Costacurta, Abroni, Nesta, Torricelli, Moussi, the above seven defenders will represent Italy in the European Cup in England!"

Such a heavy news has once again shocked the Italian journalists who have not recovered from the news of Pagliuca's defeat. If Pagliuca's defeat can be barely explained by the poor performance of the Inter Milan club in the past two years , then Sacchi's choice of defenders is simply unbelievable.

The first is the central defender. Fiorentina has completed two consecutive league championships and won the triple crown this season. The outstanding performance of Fiorentina's defense has played a very important role. At least the number of goals conceded is less than other teams. However, only Nesta was selected among the seven defenders. Even his central defender partner Ferrara in Florence was squeezed out of the national team by the seriously declining Abroni and Costacurta. Such a result makes it difficult for many Italian fans to accept.

The right back is also quite controversial. Even if Torricelli is superior, but in terms of the choice of substitutes, whether it is Panucci, Bilindelli, Zambrotta or Bergomi is far behind in this position. Much better than Parma's Musi!What is Saki trying to do?Does he think that the 33-year-old Musi is better than these players?Or do you want to assemble the two teams of Parma and AC Milan to play in the European Cup?What an international joke!

Compared with the other two positions, the choice of left-back is fairly fair. Paolo Maldini's position as the number one left-back in Italy is unshakable. Even if AC Milan's performance has declined in the past two years, the left side he guards is already The most stable link, although Rome's Carboni is not well-known, he can be regarded as a capable faction, and his selection is not controversial.

The list that Sacchi will announce next is even more astonishing. None of Di Biagio, Kripa, Robert Baggio, Philip Inzaghi, etc. who played for Fiorentina were selected, and they played for Udinese. On the contrary, Rosito and Donadoni, who is in the rivers and rivers, got the favor of Sacchi.

This is the point that makes Zhuang Mingge most dissatisfied. With the excellent performance of Fiorentina winning the Triple Crown this season, many players should have been selected, but after so many days of delay, Sacchi actually only took a fancy to Nesta and Thor. Two more people!

Such a result is undoubtedly a complete insult to Florence.

"Hello? Is it Kenyon? I remember you are in charge of the club's external affairs? That's it. I plan to hold a press conference in the name of the Fiorentina club. Protest." Zhuang Mingge, whose anger was maxed out by Saki, immediately took out his mobile phone and called Kenyon, who was outside negotiating sponsorship fees with many sponsors.

"Boss, what are you going to do with the press conference?" Kenyon was a little puzzled. Although he worked for Fiorentina, he was not an Italian fan after all, and he didn't know what happened at the Milanello base.

"It's like this..." Zhuang Mingge recounted what happened in Milanello to Kenyon, and said, "This old guy Saki is really deceiving people too much!"

"You are right, boss, what Sacchi has done this time is indeed a bit outrageous. I will contact the news media now, but I hope you can contact other Serie A clubs to protest the fairness of the selection of international players. In this way, the pressure on us Florence alone can also be reduced."

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." After finishing speaking, Zhuang Mingge hung up the phone and started contacting other bosses...

While Zhuang Mingge was trying to win over allies, the reporters who were stunned by Sacchi's announcement of the national team's roster received a call from their superiors when they were about to leave Milan, asking them to go to Florence immediately to participate in another upcoming match. Press conference held.

These paparazzi who have been in football for many years naturally smelled something unusual, put down their phones and headed to Florence.

……

At ten o'clock in the morning on May 29th, Zhuang Mingge faced a group of sports reporters in the lobby of the Florence headquarters, and announced a big news: "My friends from the press, on behalf of the Fiorentina club, I hereby formally express my respect to the current Italian national team coach Arango Coach Sacchi protested! I think coach Sacchi was seriously suspected of nepotism when he selected the members of the national team, resulting in many more capable players not entering the Italian national team at all!"

Zhuang Mingge's words immediately excited the reporters present. The president of Fiorentina openly questioned the head coach of the national team to protest the fairness of his selection of the international football team. If you continue to coach the Italian national team after the Cup is over, I am afraid that the local players who will play for Fiorentina will never be called by the national team.

"Chairman Corleone, may I ask why you question the impartiality of coach Sacchi's choice?" A reporter at the scene raised doubts to Zhuang Mingge. More or less there will be some controversy, but no club has ever publicly protested to the national team coach for this.

"Do I need to elaborate on this one by one?" Zhuang Mingge sneered and said, "Fiorentina's performance in various competitions in the past two years is obvious to all. Last season we won the league and the Cup Winners Cup. Double crown! And this season, our Fiorentina has won all the championship trophies that can be won. In exchange for such a result, Fiorentina only has two international players in the current national team roster! Four AC Milan players were selected! Under such circumstances, why can't I question the fairness of this?!"

Zhuang Mingge's words were reprinted in full by many reporters present on the headlines of the next day's newspaper.
