The Era of Emerald

As the pace of time moves forward step by step, Florence's record is not as stable as before. There will be inexplicable mistakes, resulting in the loss of points that should not have been lost.

Fortunately, Fiorentina is still firmly occupying the top of the standings by virtue of its previous huge point advantage, but there are still some voices of doubt among Fiorentina fans. They think the team's performance in the second half is a bit bad.

Ranieri was very depressed about this, because he had expected this situation a long time ago. After taking some of the main players from the starting lineup, the impact and impact of Jonty, Gianni Keida, Tomasi and others The running ability is indeed very good, but these people are obviously not a good choice when they need to maintain stability.

In this regard, Ranieri had no choice but to put the heavy burden on Di Bianho and Corini, hoping that these two young players can become the metronome of the Fiorentina team like Effenberg. Feinberg and Djorkaeff can control the rhythm of the team when they are in the lineup.Don't keep rushing and hitting, and properly control the rhythm to attract the opponent from the dense defense, so that the team can get more scoring opportunities.

At this time, Zhuang Mingge, the chairman of the club, did not cause any trouble for Ranieri, although he looked down on the coach from the bottom of his heart, thinking that his level was not enough to lead Fiorentina back to the top.

But for now, what Ranieri has done in Fiorentina is quite satisfactory: he kneaded the team's loose defense into shape, and some teenagers have also been trained, if not because of some conservative Unwilling to rotate the lineup, Zhuang Minge doesn't want to replace Ranieri now, and he can't think of anyone who is more suitable for the team's needs than Ranieri under the current situation.

Therefore, when Ranieri was affected by fluctuations in his record, he was the first to stand up and publicly support the coach.Ranieri was a little surprised by this. He originally thought that after arguing with Mr. Chairman, even if he would not cause trouble for himself, he would not support him so firmly, but he did not expect the other party to express it so quickly. Support yourself.

"It seems that the former chairman's actions were not aimed at me on purpose!" Although Ranieri was still dissatisfied with Zhuang Mingge's "over-the-top" behavior, he now regards those as the unique impulses of young people, at least The chairman can still make the right choice when he is needed.

After the main players have undergone a period of rotation and repair, they have passed Dr. Carter's inspection and can return to the court.After Ranieri learned the news, he immediately put these players back into the starting lineup, Fiorentina's record stabilized again, and the complaints among the fans disappeared.

April is not completely over yet, Fiorentina leads the league standings with 4 wins, 24 draws, 7 losses and 4 points. Since there are three rounds left in the league at this time, and No.55 Brescia has 4 points less than Fiorentina, so Fiorentina has already locked in a promotion quota three rounds in advance, and the team will return to Serie A next season.

The Fiorentina fans were ecstatic, and they spontaneously rushed to the streets to thank the young chairman who made Fiorentina glow again, and the fans who are more happy are yet to come.

On April 1994, 4, in the Frankie Stadium, the cheers of the Fiorentina fans were deafening.

"Excellent barb shot, 'Prince of Uruguay' Francescoli's goal is really amazing!" The live commentator of the game shouted excitedly.

However, the fans of Florence unexpectedly did not accuse the on-site commentator of the "rebellious" behavior, because the score on the field is 4:1, the home team is in front, the visiting team is behind, the total score is 6:1, the fans are now Just watching the game with an attitude of appreciating the game.

Not long after Enzo Francescoli scored this comforting goal, the referee blew his whistle to announce the end of the game. At this time, the Frankie Stadium became a sea of ​​joy.

"Congratulations to Fiorentina for successfully entering the final of the Coppa Italia, where they will face Sampdoria from Serie A."

Fiorentina fans are very excited for the team to reach the final of the Coppa Italia, because as long as they can beat Sampdoria in the final, Fiorentina will be able to participate in the European Cup Winners Cup as a newly promoted team next season. For Florence, who has participated in European competitions, it is a big temptation.

*******

In May 1994, in order to make way for the World Cup, the major European leagues came to an end one after another, and the Italian Serie B, where Fiorentina played, also stopped fighting.

In the last three rounds, Florence still easily won the victory with its strong strength, and brought the championship trophy back to Florence.

Although the Fiorentina fans don't attach great importance to this championship, this does not prevent them from using this excuse to celebrate. Many fans even celebrated while shouting "Serie A, here we come". In the eyes of these fans, this The Serie B championship is just an embellishment on the way for Fiorentina to return to Serie A.

"I think we should give the fans a bigger gift! What do you think?" Zhuang Mingge stood in the office and looked out the window. There were also a large number of Fiorentina fans gathered outside the Fiorentina office building. Some of them held themselves up Large posters of favorite football stars - such as Batistuta, Effenberg, or holding long slogans and banners, and even a portrait of Zhuang Mingge.

Standing in front of the window, Zhuang Minge saw a giant caricature held by more than a dozen fans in the crowd, which depicted almost all Fiorentina's first-team players this season. They were wearing armor and holding weapons as if charging. It is the current head coach of the team, Claudio Ranieri.

But Zhuang Mingge was so interested in this portrait because he saw himself in it.The young Fiorentina president was dressed as a magician and looked very quiet, holding a scroll in his hand; Ranieri was a head coach who asked for help from the magician played by Zhuang Mingge, and it was specially bolded. The big font makes for an interesting dialogue.

Ranieri's side read: "President, I need more good players!"

Next to Zhuang Mingge's portrait is written: "Don't worry! This scroll of mine can meet all the requirements of Florence!"

Magician?Touching his nose, he thought that what he had done since he became the chairman of Florence was indeed similar to those legendary omnipotent magicians.

The training base, experimental center, players, general manager... are almost all created by Zhuang Mingge.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that I am still pretty awesome! "Although it is depressing to run around all the time, and there are so many things that keep him busy all the time, Zhuang Mingge enjoys the feeling now, "Now, there are only two Italian Cup finals left. ! "

********

On May 5th, Fiorentina sat at the Frankie Stadium, waiting for the "Aquamarine" Sampdoria team who came from Japan to challenge.

Fiorentina attaches great importance to this final, because if Fiorentina finally succeeds in winning the championship, then the team can participate in the European Cup Winners Cup next season. At this time, the gold content of the Cup Winners Cup is second only to the European Champions Cup. The champion can go to compete for the UEFA Super Cup title...

Considering that many players in the Fiorentina team have not experienced the atmosphere of the final, the head coach Ranieri gave priority to those players with experience in major competitions when arranging the starting lineup for this game, such as Vieri, Gianni Al Qaeda, Montella and other teenagers are all sitting on the bench.

On the other side of the court is Sampdoria, which is at the end of the "Golden Samp". The chairman, that is, Paul Mantovani, the father of Mantovani Jr., died in a car accident on October 1993, 10. This is also regarded by fans of later generations as the turning point of Sampdoria's turn from prosperity to decline) There is no extra It is time to carry out the "transformation" of the team in its own imagination, and the overall style of play is still maintained in the past. Therefore, many people predict that Fiorentina, who just won the second division championship, will be in the final of the Coppa Italia. Had a tough fight.

Catanic, Evani, Gullit, Lombardo, Pagliuca, Verjoward, Mancini... The current Sampdoria team is full of stars, and the team's record is quite Not bad, Sampdoria, which won the third place in the league this season (7 points behind the champion AC Milan), has the most ferocious firepower in Serie A (64 goals), if it is not for the poor defense (39 goals conceded, the top 8 teams Only Lazio has conceded more goals than it), and it is entirely possible to win the league championship.

Perhaps because of losing the long-awaited league championship, the Sampdoria team showed amazing momentum in this game. Although almost all of Sampdoria's main players are over [-] years old, lack of physical fitness is inevitable , but the defensive line composed of Catanic, Mannini, Verjoward, and Pagliuca withstood Fiorentina's offensive time and time again. Evani and Gullit organized and dispatched in the midfield, and Lomba Do and Mancini repeatedly launched a counterattack to Viola's defense.

The game was played passionately, but none of them were able to break through the opponent's goal. In the end, the two sides drew a [-]-[-] tie at the home court of Florence. The second round of the game will be held at Sampdoria's home court Ferraris a week later. The pitch goes on.
