The Era of Emerald

ps: This is the first update today, and the 12 recommended additions will be posted later in the evening. I hope you will support me~

Fiorentina's opponent in the first official game in 98 was their defeat in the Coppa Italia this season, Sampdoria. Capello will lead the team to face the Aquamarine at the Frankie Stadium on January 1.

As Klinsmann and Signori are still without status at all, the new aid Morales is regarded as a parallel import after half a season of poor performance.Therefore, Sampdoria, which has only a few reliable players such as Montella, Veron, and Mikhailovich in the first team, was cut to the ground by the strong Fiorentina in the first league game of the new year.

Barty and Ronaldo each scored a goal in the game, helping the Viola beat Sampdoria [-]-[-] at home. This victory also allowed Fiorentina to continue to be far ahead of other competitors in the league standings .

Immediately afterwards, in the first round of the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia three days later, Fiorentina, who played away, defeated Udinese led by Bierhoff [-]-[-]. The goals of Vieri and Inzaghi The ball helped Viola win easily.

On the weekend, the No.15 round of Serie A started as scheduled. Fiorentina, who played in the away game, scored with a header from the super substitute Cruz in stoppage time. They defeated Brescia 76-[-] and extended their unbeaten streak to [-] games!

After the game against Brescia, Ronaldo, who has not warmed up the European Golden Globe trophy, will leave the team temporarily again. He will go to the FIFA headquarters with Redondo and Inzaghi to participate in the award ceremony of the World Footballer of the Year .

In order to better expand the influence of the title of "World Player of Football" in the international football world, which was established less than ten years ago, FIFA specially put the award ceremony of World Footballer of the Year and the group draw ceremony of the World Cup in France at the same time. days to proceed.

The first thing to do is the grouping of the World Cup. According to the overall performance of each team in the past few World Cups, FIFA divided the 32 participating teams into four grades to avoid too many strong teams meeting in advance in the group stage. , Affecting the viewing and attractiveness of the subsequent knockout stage games.

The Italian national team led by Maldini Sr. and the host team France, defending champion Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Romania and Spain were placed in the first tier together.

In the draw ceremony, the defending champion Brazil was divided with Scotland, Morocco and Norway. Although the three opponents of Brazil are not very strong, the extremely tough style of play of Scotland and Norway is likely to give Samba The Legion brings unexpected trouble.

Perhaps because of FIFA's intention to take care of it, the host France's signing luck is very good. The Gaul Rooster is in the same group as Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Denmark.Needless to say, Saudi Arabia and South Africa, in the eyes of many people, these two teams are just giving away points; although Denmark is the champion of the European Cup in 92, those champions are now old, so Denmark can give France The hassle is also fairly limited.

As for Italy, the luck of the Apennines this time is quite good. They were placed in Group B and they managed to avoid the African Eagle Nigeria in the second tier and the hidden bosses England and Croatia in the third tier, with Cameroon, Austria In the same group as Chile.

The old Maldini is quite satisfied with this group. The opponents in this group of Italy are generally weak. Although Cameroon is known as the African lion, but their results in the World Cup-to be honest, except for relying on Mira in Italy in 90 Uncle’s miraculous performance showed his power once. At other times, this African team is a soy sauce existence. Even Russia, which has been reduced to the second- and third-tier European teams, can score five goals in the World Cup. Its strength is impressive. One can imagine.

Not to mention Austria. Although this team came to the fore as the group leader in the World Cup European qualifiers and successfully advanced to the French World Cup finals, it does not represent how strong this Austrian team is.The reason why they were able to win the first place in the group was more because their opponents in the qualifiers were generally not strong.As the second best team in the group, Scotland, which directly advanced to the World Cup finals, can already be counted as one of the strongest teams in that group; the Swedish team, the third-place winner of the World Cup in the United States, has been somewhat inactive in recent years. Brolin suffered a serious injury After that, the state plummeted, and it was no longer the "Parma variable" of the year. Dahlin, who had been suffering from minor injuries, also began to decline sharply in scoring efficiency after leaving Borussia, and became a third-rate striker.Therefore, Austria's promotion is largely due to the advantages of the group.

If it is put into a group with Italy and England, Austria will not be smashed into scum...

In the old Maldini's view, the only thing that can cause some trouble for Italy is Chile, which has a strong striker combination of Zamorano and Salas.However, Chile's overall strength is not very strong. As long as the Italian players do not underestimate the enemy and can perform normally in the game, there is still great hope for all three points.

According to the usual practice, every World Cup will produce a so-called group of death, and the French World Cup is no exception.Therefore, when the draw ceremony was over, Spanish coach Clemente became the most depressing one among the first-tier coaches, because his Spanish and African eagles Nigeria and the magical goalkeeper Chilavert led the South American powerhouse Paraguay , and Bulgaria, which has two dying superstars, Stoichkov and Balakov, are in a group.

After the grouping ceremony, the next step is the 1997 World Footballer of the Year Award Ceremony. FIFA will select three candidates from Redondo, Inzaghi and Ronaldo based on the votes of the coaches and captains of the national teams. out the final winner.

Although Ronaldo has won the European Footballer of the Year before, it stands to reason that this time he has the greatest chance of winning, but no one guarantees that he will be able to get this honor now.After all, the selection methods of these two awards are very different, and the results will naturally have considerable differences.

This time the World Footballer Awards Ceremony was hosted by Havelange's confidant, FIFA Secretary-General, Joseph Blatter.

"The winner of the World Player of the Year is..." After reading this, Blatter deliberately paused, as if intending to whet everyone's appetites, "Ronaldo, who plays for Fiorentina in Serie A!"

After hearing the news from Blatter himself, the entire venue was boiling: because it means that the alien Ronaldo has become the third player after Van Basten (1992) and Robert Baggio (1993). The player who captured the title of Mr. Double!

(Note: There should have been a George Weah, but due to the rise of Florence in this world, Weah's European Golden Globe was snatched by Batty.)

The title of Mr. Double marks that Ronaldo is no longer a good first-class striker, but a top star who has begun to move towards the road of superstar!
