The Era of Emerald

ps: In the new week, continue to ask for recommendation tickets here. I hope everyone can continue to support me. Thank you~ In this way, Fiorentina achieved three wins, one draw and one loss in five games in February.Although such a record sheet is not gorgeous, it also allows Fiorentina to successfully maintain the leading edge in the standings while advancing to the final of the Coppa Italia, so as to welcome the upcoming sprint stage with a more relaxed attitude.

With the arrival of March, the Serie A league began to enter the final sprint stage. At this time, the [-] Serie A teams no longer retained some strength in the game as before, but one after another. The ultimate move or hole card is revealed, and they start to work hard for their respective goals!

However, before that, Fiorentina must first solve their opponents in the European Champions Cup, that is.

Just as the Fiorentina players were sweating profusely on the training ground under the supervision of the coaching staff, and earnestly preparing for the match, Zhuang Mingge, the chairman of Fiorentina, took Karin away from his base camp and arrived quietly. London, the world famous smog capital.

The reason why Zhuang Minge came to London two days before the game was because he received a call from Wenger himself that night after Fiorentina was drawn by Salernitana.During the phone call, Wenger missed the friendship between the two in Monaco, and then solemnly invited Zhuang Mingge to his home in London.And out of such passionate curiosity about the professor, the restless Zhuang Mingge naturally readily agreed.

"I said, Arsene, it will be the first round match between my Fiorentina and Arsenal in two days. Is it inappropriate for me to appear at your house at this time?" On the night of March [-]st, Zhuang Mingge was invited to the Wenger is located at his home in London, "If the paparazzi find out, I am afraid that tomorrow the headlines of all sports newspapers in the UK will be the news of 'Arsenal coach secretly meeting with Fiorentina chairman on the eve of the final match'."

"Haha, what's the point? Antonio, I think you haven't seen how worthless the morals of these British guys are?" Wenger seemed indifferent to Zhuang Mingge's joking words, "For them , as long as you win the game, then all your decisions are extremely wise, no matter how mentally handicapped your arrangements are; but if you lose, then no matter what kind of decisions you make, you will be belittled by these disgusting guys Worthless!"

Speaking of this, Wenger couldn't help putting on a frowning expression. It seemed that this "professor" was really annoyed by the pervasive British media.

"Winners and losers, the British can be regarded as taking this thing to the extreme." Hearing Wenger's comment, Zhuang Mingge shrugged. Having seen the unscrupulous reports of the British media in his previous life, he had long been concerned about these paparazzi. They didn't have any good expectations anymore, "By the way, Arsene, you invited me to London at this time, is there anything you want to tell me?" "Well, Antonio, you are definitely being paranoid this time." Wenger waved his hand, suppressed the melancholy in his eyes that was not easy to be noticed, and put on a warm smile, and said, "Tonight, it's just us two old friends chatting about the past, there is no Anything else."

"Che, since you said that, let me just believe you once." Zhuang Mingge shrugged his shoulders, and then walked towards the living room under the leadership of Wenger.

At the same time, Zhuang Minge secretly guessed Wenger's intention for inviting him this time.

If, as Wenger said, this time is just a reminiscence between two old friends, then there is absolutely no need for him to invite Zhuang Mingge to London at this sensitive time before the start of the game. He can chat slowly after the game is over!

From this point of view, Wenger's purpose of inviting Zhuang Mingge to visit before the game should be obvious, that is, to create some news that can disturb the morale of Fiorentina, so that Arsenal can take advantage of the game.

"Hey, it turns out that Wenger is also capable of creating psychological warfare..." Zhuang Mingge thought indifferently in his heart, he didn't believe Capello's old fritters would use such a strategy that could be said to be obvious at a glance.At the same time, Zhuang Mingge was still pondering, with Capello's cunning, whether he would use his tricks and let the self-confident Wenger drink a pot in the match two days later.

In this way, Zhuang Mingge, who was constantly guessing in his heart, chatted with Wenger about all kinds of interesting things that happened in football recently, while tasting delicious French cuisine, and spent a quite fulfilling evening.

At [-] pm on March [-]rd, the entire Fiorentina team appeared at the Highbury Stadium in London, the capital of the United Kingdom. This evening, they will be here to challenge the Arsenal team led by "Professor" Wenger!

This is also after four full years, Fiorentina once again met Arsenal in the European arena!

During Zhuang Minge's tenure as the chairman of Fiorentina, Viola and Arsenal only played against each other twice, and this dates back to the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup in the 94-95 season. At that time, Fiorentina had just returned to Serie A. China and Israel defeated the defending champion Arsenal with a total score of [-]-[-]. While shattering the opponent's dream of winning the Cup Winners Cup, they were qualified to advance to the final and defeated Zaragoza from La Liga in the final. Won the first Cup Winners Cup in club history!

However, compared with the last contest, this time people are more optimistic about Fiorentina, which has completed three consecutive Champions League dominance, rather than Arsenal, which was reborn under Wenger's ashes until last season.

After all, four years is enough time to change a lot of things.For example, Fiorentina, which was just a newly promoted club in the eyes of everyone, has now grown into the top giants club in Europe; and the extremely boring iron-blooded army under Graham has also become a thing of the past at this time. Instead, It is a gorgeous offensive football crafted by Wenger.

For this game, Capello's heart is very important.After all, although the gold medal coach already has plans to change jobs after the end of the season, it also means that he must lead Fiorentina to a record that suits his identity. The head coach who came out?

Moreover, Capello, who attaches great importance to pre-match intelligence gathering, naturally learned of his boss' night visit to Wenger through relevant channels after he came to London.However, as Zhuang Mingge expected, Capello was not fooled, but smiled coldly in his heart, saying Wenger, how dare you play such a trick in front of me, do you think I am an idiot? !

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of face or for the sake of his own future, Capello must go all out in this game, and prove to everyone with iron-like facts that only he, Capello, is the best host. coach!
