The Era of Emerald

ps: This is the first update today, and I will post it after get off work in the evening~

The news that Italy, the runner-up of the last World Cup, was eliminated in the group stage of this European Cup quickly spread to the ears of fans all over the world. This big upset has shocked countless experts and fans.

What the hell is going on here?How did the World Cup runner-up two years ago not even qualify for the group stage in the European Cup?

Such a huge gap, coupled with the fact that Serie A teams can be said to be in charge of the wind and rain in the European arena these years, has made Italian fans full of resentment and anger towards the poor performance of the national team in this European Cup.

Therefore, Zola, who missed a key penalty kick in the life-and-death battle with Germany, was criticized by many Italian fans and the media, but his situation is not bad, after all, the Italian fell to twelve years ago. In terms of yardage points, with such a foreshadowing, Italian fans can still accept Zola's missed penalty this time.

Due to the tragic elimination of the Italian national team in the group stage, which caused great dissatisfaction among the fans, under the pressure of public opinion, and in order to appease the fans as soon as possible, the Italian Football Association naturally found and announced the reasons for the early exit of the national team as soon as possible to calm down. public outrage.

However, Chairman Perot obviously doesn't need to worry too much about this matter, because this reason has been clearly placed in front of him.

National team coach, Arango Sacchi!

The Italian Football Association's move to throw Sacchi to the front of the stage is understandable. After all, this guy's insistence on abandoning the two major heroes of the American World Cup, Pagliuca and Roberto Baggio, has already caused anger and resentment. The players of AC Milan and Parma turned a blind eye to Fiorentina, which has achieved outstanding performance in the past two years, and treated them coldly. These things have undoubtedly become the crimes that the Italian Football Association accused head coach Sacchi of being self-willed.

Especially after this season's Viola achieved the Triple Crown Albert, Sacchi's preferred selection of players in the European Cup has aroused dissatisfaction among many fans and even the Football Association.

Costacurta, whose state has declined sharply, and Peruzzi, who has obvious weaknesses, can actually sit firmly as the main central defender and goalkeeper of the national team. Surprisingly, he sat on the bench and didn't get a chance to play for 1 minute, and Ferrara, the Ding Haishen needle in the defense line, didn't even make the 22-man roster. Saki's selection criteria were once again met with countless people's doubts.

How can Abloni and Costacurta compare to the central defender combination of Ferrara and Nesta!

Is Peruzzi better than Toldo and Pagliuca?

Signori, the three-time top scorer in Serie A, Roberto Baggio, the pride of Italian football, and Filippo Inzaghi, who is rising rapidly in Florence, which one is better than Casiraghi, Ravanelli and Rossito goal?

Even if you say that these people are not fit enough to play the important role of forward striker, then why did you ignore Vialli, who is the captain of Juventus?

However, the Italian Football Association has no right to interfere with which player Sacchi chooses to enter the national team. In recent years, the Football Association has been reluctant to communicate with Sacchi several times in private, but Sacchi is also extremely tough to the Football Association officials. It is his own territory, absolutely not allowing anyone, including the Football Association, to intervene in his formation.

Since then, the relationship between the Football Association and Sacchi has also begun to deteriorate, but the Italian Football Association is not good at openly turning against Sacchi. After all, the local coach led the team to win the World Cup runner-up. Base, the Football Association will inevitably be criticized by many people.

And now, at this point in time when Saki's personal prestige has declined sharply, it is the best opportunity for the Football Association to retaliate.

As the saying goes: If you don't accumulate virtue in ordinary times, everyone will push the wall down.Sacchi, who led the Italian national team to "won" the third place in the European Cup, is facing such a situation at this time.

The Football Association regards him as the culprit for the early exit of the national team. The fans believe that his self-willedness has ruined Italy's great prospects for winning the championship.

Therefore, Sacchi, who had been rebellious, had no choice but to have a secret meeting with the Football Association officials in Rome after the team flew back to Italy. Then Sacchi held a press conference and publicly expressed his respect for the Italian national team in the European Cup. He has an unshirkable responsibility for the early exit on the Internet, and at the same time announced that he officially resigned as the head coach of the Italian national team.

However, the turmoil of Italy's early exit obviously did not stop because of Sacchi's resignation. Gianfranco Zola was initially determined to stay in Parma to prove to the fans that his disappointing performance in the European Cup was just a Accident.But Parma's new head coach Carlo Ancelotti didn't like this small striker, and he didn't intend to give him the absolute core position of the team. Nothing, but the final result is that Parma will sell the team's former core Zola.

At this time, Chelsea, who had just signed Kripa for $600 million, quickly intervened in Zola's transfer and successfully signed Zola from Parma for £450 million!

"Gullit really did a good deal this time." Zhuang Mingge, who was reading the newspaper, sighed when he saw the news of Zola's transfer to Chelsea.

As a time traveler, Zhuang Mingge certainly knew how much energy Zola would explode after joining Chelsea. Among other things, in Zhuang Mingge's previous life, Zola defeated Gullit, Vialli, Desailly, Hassel Baink, Terry and many other stars who have played for Chelsea have been elected as the greatest players in Chelsea history. This alone is enough to prove that Zola's performance at Chelsea is absolutely amazing.

However, although he knew Zola's ability, Zhuang Mingge had no intention of taking down Zola, because he knew that Zola was the kind of player who needed to become the absolute core of the team to be able to display his abilities. Fiorentina has Batistuta in the frontcourt and Effenberg in the midfield. Where can they get him the core position?

After selling Zola, Parma did not stop cleaning. "Thunderbolt" Stoichkov returned to Barcelona after a not-so-pleasant season in Italy, and transferred to Barcelona with the Bulgarian. , and Portuguese centre-back Fernando Couto.

At the same time, at the request of Ancelotti, the old Tanzi quickly got the player he wanted: Enrique Chiesa, who scored 22 league goals for Sampdoria this season, announced that he would join Milk Legion, Brazilian right back Ze Maria also transferred from Flamengo.

In this way, taking Italy's early exit as an opportunity, Parma took the lead in launching changes, and at the same time triggered a series of unexpected chain reactions.
