The Era of Emerald

After the first round of the European Cup Winners' Cup, Fiorentina returned to Serie A and ushered in the next league game.Out of consideration for the physical fitness of the players, Ranieri rotated some players in order to enable the players to maintain their best condition in the new season.

In the third round of the league, Fiorentina played against Cremona at home. Ranieri removed Effenberg and Kripa from the starting list, who had been fighting consecutively recently. They were replaced by teenager Tomasi and the main substitute Ke Rini, also sent a lot of substitutes in the defense - from left to right are Francini, Viljoward, Ferrara and Parry, the young Cremona seems to be so amazing by Fiorentina The rotation was caught off guard - [-] to [-]. With the goals of Batistuta and Montella, Fiorentina won three consecutive league victories without bloodshed.

Three days later, Fiorentina continued to sit at the Frankie Stadium to welcome the second round of the first round of the Cup Winners Cup. In this game, Ranieri replaced the player who was truce in the last round, relying on the huge advantage of [-]-[-] in the last round , Fiorentina players patiently dealt with Bremen, who was eager to equalize the total score, and resorted to the defensive counterattack tactics that the Italians are best at. Due to the suspension of the frontcourt core Basler's red card, Bremen faced Fiorentina, who was strictly defending. There was no way to talk, but due to a player's mistake, Djorkaeff and Inzaghi succeeded in surprise attacks successively. [-]-[-], Fiorentina sent the unlucky Werder Bremen back to their hometown with a clean victory.

After the game, the German professional football magazine "Kicker" severely criticized Bremen coach Rehhagel's tactical arrangement, thinking that his home game was too conservative, causing Bremen to be completely controlled by Fiorentina in the two rounds , passive everywhere, and finally out of the game with a total score of [-]-[-]. At the same time, the magazine also severely criticized Basler. The engine that fights back.

In the face of "Kicker"'s accusations, Rehhagel quickly made a counterattack, claiming that there was no problem with his tactical arrangement, and that Bremen's loss was due to the fact that the first-team players were too old to keep up with Fiorentina He believes that Germany should pay attention to the cultivation of young people.But now German clubs are madly obsessed with veterans, such as Werder Bremen coached by Rehhagel: in the starting lineup of the first leg, captain Votava is 38 years old, Thomas Schaff is 33 years old and Rufer is 32 years old , Neubart is 32 years old, Borovka is 32 years old, Dieter Erz is 30 years old, and the only players under the age of 30 are Basler and Bode... But Rehagel's words were not accepted by the Germans. Still immersed in the supreme glory brought to them by the West German team in the World Cup in Italy.

The Italian media, on the other hand, began to praise Fiorentina in unison, believing that Fiorentina, under the leadership of head coach Claudio Ranieri, played aggressive football and blew a strong wind of tactical change in the Apennine Peninsula, breaking the Serie A league for many years. pattern.You must know that in Serie A where defensive football is popular, Fiorentina used their fierce offensive to score [-] goals in three league games without conceding a goal. What a terrible phenomenon!

With the arrival of the new season's five-game winning streak and the league's three-game winning streak, most of the media believe that the new Milan's tactical innovation has achieved initial success, but Ranieri is soberly aware that Florence's winning streak is largely due to Since the season has just started, the team's opponents in the league are generally weak, and the European opponent Bremen, Fiorentina's own style just restrained the opponent, so the victory of many games does not explain too many problems. The test is yet to come.

Zhuang Minge and Ranieri have basically the same views. He also thinks that the Italian media’s praise is a bit exaggerated, because the reason why Fiorentina achieved such an ideal start this season is mainly because of Zhuang Minge’s tactical thinking that has led the football world for nearly 20 years. Together with Fiorentina, which combines the tactical styles of Sacchi, Capello, Michels and others, the team has been in a strategic lead from the very beginning; Zhuang Minge knows that Ranieri, who has been in Italian football for many years, has never been As for playing offensive football, if Fiorentina under his command played "offensive and defensive balance" when confronting small and medium-sized teams, then when encountering strong teams such as AC Milan, Claudio Ranieri played, unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it is still his best defensive counterattack.

Therefore, Fiorentina still needs to pass the test of a series of powerful opponents in the next game-for example, in the next two Serie A games, Fiorentina will first go away to challenge the traditional giants Inter Milan, and then return to Frankie Stadium to face The capital team Lazio, these two teams are a real touchstone for Fiorentina.

On September 9th, Fiorentina, who is in good form, will go to Milan's San Siro to challenge Inter Milan.

Since the beginning of this season, Inter Milan's performance can be said to be ups and downs. In the first game, they defeated Torino [-]-[-] away, then lost to Roma at home, and then lost to the underdog in the third round of Serie A. Brescia's tenacious draw, and the vicious competition between the team's two strikers Bergkamp and Ruben Sosa greatly depleted Inter Milan's strength.

Although Inter Milan's defense has greatly improved after Pagliuca's joining, but due to the infighting between the two foreign aids on the team's offensive line, Inter Milan cannot win even with the best defense.

Therefore, throughout the game, Zhuang Minge saw only Bergkamp and Ruben Sousa fighting each other in Inter Milan's offense, and the two had even reached the point where they did not pass the ball to each other on the court.

"I really don't know what Pellegrini, an old fool, is thinking. The relationship between these two foreign aids has been so bad, or quickly find a way to introduce a scientific competition and elimination mechanism, so that the contradiction between the two Relax, at least you can't have this kind of situation on the court; or you can simply and firmly sell one, and firmly keep the other." Zhuang Mingge looked at Inter Milan, which was completely suppressed by Fiorentina on the court, with a puzzled expression on his face. Said to Karin beside her.

"Pelaglini spent a lot of money when he decided to introduce these two foreign aids. Maybe he felt that selling one of them would be too much of a loss for him?" Karin's guess was rarely approached. fact.

In fact, this season, Pellegrini already has the idea of ​​​​selling his shares in Inter Milan. If there are stars like Sosa and Bergkamp in the team, they can be sold when the shares are transferred. to a relatively high price.

Just as Zhuang Mingge and Karin were discussing various problems in Inter Milan, a middle-aged man's voice broke into the conversation between the two:

"If I were the chairman of Inter Milan, I would drive these two bastards out of the team!" The middle-aged man with gray temples said angrily, "How dare you put your personal gains and losses above the team's? Above all, they don't deserve to wear the Inter Milan jersey at all!"

Zhuang Mingge and Karin felt a little surprised when they looked at this angry man. They didn't expect to see such fanatical fans in the VIP box.

At this time, the middle-aged man noticed the surprised gazes of Zhuang Mingge and Karin, and knew that the "noise" he had just made had disturbed them, so he smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb you watching the game." .”

"Hello, my name is Antonio Corleone, and I am the chairman of Florence." Zhuang Mingge felt that the man sitting behind him looked familiar, so he decided to have a chat with him, "Just call me Antonio."

"Hello, Antonio." The man introduced himself to Zhuang Mingge very politely, "My name is Massimo Moratti, you can call me Massimo."

ps2: With regard to the transfer of Rui Costa mentioned by someone in the book review section, we can only regret that since Effenberg did not leave, there was the cheating foreign aid quota limit in European football at that time, and it was almost impossible for Costa to come. Can't play...

ps3: Effenberg must not let go!This has nothing to do with whether he is a fan or not!After letting him go, you can't be killed by him when you meet Bayern...

ps4: Rui will come, but not now...
