The Era of Emerald

The 1996 Toyota Cup winner is Fiorentina!

After the final whistle, the Fiorentina players celebrated wildly on the pitch. This year was undoubtedly a successful year for them. They won all the championships they could get and became the first in football history. A championship team!

This unprecedented achievement is enough for all of them to be recorded in the annals of history!In the next few years, as long as the team's performance does not decline too much, Fiorentina will appear as a top giant in the eyes of fans all over the world!

Naturally, the award ceremony came after the game. The players of the River Plate team didn't know what they were thinking about. After queuing up to receive their medals, they walked into the player tunnel.They know, tonight, does not belong to Riverbed.

However, before leaving the stadium, Cruise glanced enviously at the Fiorentina players who were about to go on stage to receive the award, and then turned and walked into the player tunnel, and this scene happened to be inadvertently caught by the cameramen who were capturing wonderful shots everywhere. Got it...

Of course, the turmoil caused by this photo will be described later. Now, all eyes in the National Arena are still focused on the Fiorentina players who are receiving their medals on the stage.

When coach Capello and captain Batistuta raised the championship trophy together on the temporary podium, the atmosphere in the stadium reached its peak!

Left-back Roberto Carlos, who scored twice in the game, was named the player of the year in the Toyota Cup and rightfully drove away with the latest car offered by Toyota.However, when the Brazilian just received the car keys from the representative of Toyota, he was pulled away by a group of teammates headed by the vice-captain Effenberg with a smirk and said that he would go to celebrate Carlos.

"Wait for me." Just as Effenberg and the others were about to go to the hotel to celebrate, the head coach Capello suddenly appeared in front of them with an unusually serious expression, "What are you going to do? "

"Uh, boss, aren't we seeing that Robert has won the best player of the game, and we are planning to find a place for him to celebrate." Effenberg responded the fastest and replied immediately.

"That's it...then why didn't you call us?" Capello said here, his expression suddenly became extremely cunning, and as soon as he waved, a group of people came out behind him, it was Effenberg and the others before. Batistuta and others who didn't dare to call, as well as the members of Florence's coaching staff.

"Okay, since it's a celebration for Robert, how can we be missing? Let's go together! Anyway, the plane back to Florence will take off tomorrow, and we have enough time to celebrate!" Capello said with a smirk. Ti and the others also stared at Carlos with an expression of looking at a fat sheep.

Although I felt that the expressions of these people were a little weird, Carlos didn't say much. After winning the best player award, he did have a reason to treat everyone to a big meal.Therefore, after asking the opinions of the locals, Carlos led a large group of people to a high-end hotel in downtown Tokyo.

The result of this is that when Fiorentina's coaching staff and other players left the hotel contentedly, Carlos was crying for a long bill.

"You guys have no conscience! What's more expensive! This meal actually cost me nearly [-] dollars!"

After spending a short night in Tokyo, all Fiorentina staff packed their bags early the next morning and prepared to fly back to Italy. After all, there is still some time before the winter break, and there are still many games waiting for them .

By the way, Nakata Hidetoshi and other four Japanese players who are preparing to receive short-term training from Florence are also on this plane, waiting to fly to Italy with the group of Fiorentina first-line players.

This is also the result of discussions between Kawabuchi Saburo and Zhuang Mingge. The chairman of the Japanese Football Association hopes that these four players can go to Florence to participate in training as soon as possible, even if it is less than a month before Christmas (Florence will not be able to do so during the winter break. Arrange training for these Japanese players, after all, everyone will be on vacation during this period).

Nakata Hidetoshi and others did not express any objection to this. Although they have no way to spend a new year with their families in China, for them who can go to Florence to participate in training one month in advance and get in touch with those top stars at close range, these Sorry is nothing.

They can’t go back to celebrate the New Year this year, but they can do it in the future; but if they miss this opportunity to study abroad, God knows whether there will be pies falling on their heads to play football in Europe in the future.

After returning to Italy, the Fiorentina players did not have much time to rest, because three days later, on December 12, they will play the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage with the Glasgow Rangers at the Frankie Stadium .

In view of the fact that most players have not yet fully reversed the jet lag because they have just flown halfway around the world, neither their physical nor mental state is within the normal range, and Fiorentina has already won the right to qualify for the group one round ahead of schedule, so Capello decided to Retain strength in the final round of the group stage and recharge your batteries to prepare for the Serie A weekend.

Therefore, under Capello's deliberate release, Fiorentina, who played with a full bench lineup, was defeated by the Rangers [-]-[-] at home.Scottish veteran McCoist and Fiorentina veteran Laudrup Jr. each scored a goal, leading the Scottish giants to a victory.

However, this victory of the Rangers failed to change the overall situation of Group B. Fiorentina won the first place in the group with [-] wins, [-] draws and [-] loss, accumulating [-] points; The sieved Bayern Munich was at a disadvantage in the two rounds of competition with Fiorentina, so the Bundesliga class bully with the same record as Viola can only be sadly second, waiting for the goddess of fate to pronounce.

However, Trapattoni and the others did not have to worry for long. When the final round of the three groups in the Champions League ended the next night, Bayern Munich finally breathed a sigh of relief, because their score of [-] points was the sixth in the six groups. The one with the highest points in the two is even higher than Atletico Madrid, who won the first place in Group C!

The other two Serie A teams are in a state of sorrow and joy at the moment. AC Milan was overthrown by the Norwegian champion Rosenberg [-]-[-] in the last round, and lost the top spot in the group at the last moment. Because of this defeat, Rosenberg overtook and fell to the third place in the group, and was eliminated without even a chance to compete for the last two promotion places; Juventus swept the other three teams in the same group under the leadership of Lippi. Directly advanced to the quarterfinals with six victories!
