The Era of Emerald

Fiorentina's victory over Cagliari is not news, this team's win is already commonplace for everyone.

However, this time Fiorentina won while also tying the longest unbeaten record in the five major leagues created by AC Milan. This is big news.

The day after the game, all major sports media in Italy and around the world reported the incident.

As a supporter of the two teams in Milan, although "Gazzetta dello Sport" congratulated Fiorentina for tying the record at the beginning of the comment, but judging from the entire article, the official mouthpiece of the Milan duo is still calling for All the Italian teams unite to attack Fiorentina, and strive to break Viola's undefeated gold in the next game.

Well, who makes 58 league games unbeaten has always been the pride of AC Milan, and it is one of the topics that Milan fans love to talk about.No one expected that it would be tied by Fiorentina within a few years, and judging from their upcoming schedule, they still have a tendency to surpass this record. Naturally, all those who support AC Milan cannot maintain a normal heart Heart to look at this matter.

In addition to the local media in Florence expressing unconditional support and praise for their club, other Italian media have also written articles saying that they should respond to the call of Gazzetta dello Sport, and everyone should unite and strive to defeat the local tycoon of Florence as soon as possible.

Even so, when these people looked at Fiorentina's opponents in the last three rounds of the league, they felt that there was really little hope of preventing this team from setting a new record.

In the second round of No.30 in Serie A, Fiorentina challenged Naples, who was fighting for relegation, away.

A week later, in the No.30 three-round match, Fiorentina played at home against Reggiana, who had already been relegated.

On June [-]st, the final game of Serie A, Fiorentina's opponent is Sampdoria, a navy team that has been somewhat weak after the winter break.

Among these three opponents, except for Sampdoria, which has stars such as Montella and Veron, who is capable of causing some troubles for Fiorentina, the remaining two teams are basically playing the role of soy sauce.

Therefore, now the Italian media other than the locals in Florence are just saying verbally that they do not have much hope for the possibility of Naples successfully blocking the Florentines.

The supporters of AC Milan are naturally aware of this. Although reason tells them, these fans are still praying silently in their hearts, hoping that a miracle will happen.

Although Naples introduced future stars such as Frings, Schneider and Nowotny through the recommendation of GM, plus the team's original Argentine central defender Ayala and Frenchman Pogosian, The strength is much stronger than in history, but the increase in overall strength does not mean that this team will definitely be able to achieve a good ranking.

Everyone believes that Maradona's departure took away the backbone of this team. Unless Naples is completely overthrown and rebuilt, or another superstar with stadium dominance is introduced, this southern team Sooner or later, the team will bid farewell to Serie A in constant struggle.

Therefore, although Fiorentina is playing away this time, no one thinks that Naples can take the league leaders at home.

What a joke, if Fiorentina just lost at the feet of Naples, who were fighting for relegation, how embarrassing would it be for those teams that were killed by Fiorentina before?

On May 30, the second round of No.[-] in Serie A started as scheduled.

Capello was not complacent just because he tied his unbeaten record when he was coaching in Milan, nor did he relax his requirements on the players in training. Therefore, the Fiorentina players did not take this game lightly. Seriously doing all the preparations that should be done.

The starting goalkeeper is still Toldo, and the four defenders are Carlos, veteran Veljo Ward, Stam and Zambrotta. Although the degree of tacit understanding between these four players is unknown, based on their strength Ability, it should not be a problem to stare at Naples, an attack line that can be ranked among the bottom three in Serie A.

In the midfield, Redondo, Effenberg, Djorkaeff, and Davis started together. Although this combination weakened Fiorentina's defensive ability in the midfield, the team's midfield control The power has increased a lot.

On the forward line, this time it is the turn of Batistuta and Philippe Inzaghi to partner. Although these two players lack the ability to dribble and break through, there are midfield masters such as Effenberg behind them. With support, this weakness becomes somewhat insignificant.

With such a lineup, no matter how you look at it, getting Naples is a matter of hand.

However, after the start of the game, something that surprised everyone happened. Naples, which no one was optimistic about before the game, took the lead less than 10 minutes into the game!

Just 9 minutes into the game, German midfielder Frings kicked a world wave 30 meters away from the goal. The ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal like a fired shell, one to zero!

Toldo was stunned by Frings' long-range shot. He didn't expect that the German on the opposite side would actually take such a long-range shot regardless. up!

Let this guy kick ten more kicks in that position, but he can't kick this level of long-range shots!Why did this foot get in? !Toldo sighed in his heart, and fished out the ball from the goal.

"Frings!! Torsten Frings!" The commentator did not expect that Naples would be the first to break the deadlock on the field. "There was a goal in less than 10 minutes after the game started, but the goal The side of the ball is not Fiorentina, which was widely favored before the game, but Naples at home! They lead Fiorentina [-]-[-] at the San Paolo Stadium!"

While the players in Naples were wildly celebrating the goal, Fiorentina had already placed the ball in the middle circle of the court and waited for the re-kick-off. Except for Toldo, who was still a little depressed, everyone's expressions were very It's indifferent, and it doesn't seem to be flustered at all by the opponent scoring first.

After all, before Naples scored the goal, Fiorentina had always been in the upper hand, and Frings's goal just now had a lot of luck. The Fiorentina player who is focused on the game and is also used to seeing big scenes will naturally not because of a temporary Backward and flustered.

Subsequent games also proved this point. Although the midfield composed of Schneider, Frings, and Bergosian was fairly balanced in terms of offense and defense, the gap in experience and the weakness of forward teammates made Naples waste A lot of good offensive opportunities, but also gave the Fiorentina countless chances to score.

No. In the 203rd minute, Schneider was cut off by Davis under the close pressure of the latter. Redondo followed up from behind and then made a long pass to split the side. Djorkaeff, who moved to the left, received the ball. Immediately after the ball, Inzaghi made a diving pass in the penalty area, rewriting the score to a one-to-one tie;

No.609 minutes, Batistuta scored a goal for Fiorentina to overtake the score. He overwhelmed Nowotny, who was marking himself in the penalty area, and scored a header from Djorkaeff's corner kick!

The score of [-] to [-] was maintained until the end of the game. When the referee blew the final whistle, all Fiorentina players ran onto the field to celebrate this milestone victory!

With this victory, they surpassed AC Milan and became the only team with the longest unbeaten record in the five major leagues. honor!
