The Era of Emerald

Chapter 785 An Unsatisfactory Season

ps: Those who continue to ask for recommendation tickets here said that free books do not require everyone to spend money, so it should be no problem to give more recommendation tickets, right?We are here to thank you all~ On the afternoon of May 23rd, Fiorentina came to the famous Devil's Stadium in Italy, Sant'Elia Stadium, where they will play the No.30 fourth round of Serie A with the home team Cagliari .

Although Capello, who had issued a declaration of leaving the team, was completely out of the game at this time, and Cagliari still had the home court advantage, but the Fiorentina players did not give up the game because of this-after nearly four years After the most difficult season, they want to end this closing game with a victory, and use a victory to comfort the fans who have always supported them and themselves.

Although the fighting spirit of the players is quite high, Capello, who has completely turned against the club, did not seriously prepare for the game. He just submitted a 18-man roster and starting lineup before the deadline, and he was basically used for the rest of the time. Come and go flirting with other teams that are interested in him.

Therefore, when Mourinho, as an assistant coach, announced the starting list for the next day among the players, all Fiorentina players were shocked.The starting goalkeeper is Guadalben, who has not played a few times in almost a season. The four defenders are Fortunato, Hyypia, Ferrara and Madavigia from left to right. Gerl served as the single defensive midfielder, Bresciano and Ljungberg flew on both wings, Deco was organized in the center, and Di Natale and Inzaghi were on the front line.

Damn it, Capello, you are definitely letting water on purpose!Go to Cagliari, the home of the famous devil in Italy, and you will send either Ferrara and Guadalben whose status is unknown just now, or Vogel and Fortunato whose status and strength are not yet in line with the main players in Serie A. Standard players, even the starting striker uses Di Natale... You know, Vieri and Ronaldo's current physical condition is not a problem at all, and they have enough physical fitness to play the last nine 10 minutes of the game!

Therefore, in the eyes of all Fiorentina players, Capello's move is undoubtedly a demonstration to Zhuang Mingge.This extremely stubborn head coach intends to use this extreme method to prove to people that compared with the luxurious benches in previous years, Fiorentina's current bench lineup is simply vulnerable!

After figuring out this joint, Di Natale and other players who got the chance to start also showed anger on their faces-isn't this obviously looking down on them?It is said that when Effenberg heard the news, the German Tigers were so angry that they even wanted to rush to Capello's office to drag the irresponsible head coach out and beat him up. Fortunately, Redondo and Vieri With quick eyesight and quick hands, coupled with Mourinho's constant dissuasion from the side, this didn't allow the German to stage a live PK with Capello on the training ground.

Although the entire Fiorentina team is extremely dissatisfied with Capello's intentional abandonment of the game, they cannot change this fact.After all, Capello is still the head coach of Fiorentina, how to arrange troops is his responsibility, and players have no right to interfere with it.

However, when their head coach took the initiative to act as an undercover agent for the enemy, the Fiorentina players did not give up the game because of this. It showed several tenacious fighting spirit and desire to win!

In the end, after nine and 10 minutes of fighting with their opponents, Fiorentina and Cagliari, who played as substitutes, scored a goalless draw, ending the 1998-99 season with a surprising draw!At the same time, it also proved to everyone who followed this game that even if they have few opportunities in Florence, they are definitely not the so-called parallel imports in Capello's mouth!

With the end of the round robin stage, the situation in the Serie A standings this season has also been completely settled.

Fiorentina won the Serie A championship for the fifth consecutive time with 24 wins, six draws and four losses with 78 points. This score of less than [-] points is also the lowest score since Viola returned to Serie A.It can be seen how fierce the competition in Serie A this season is. Even a top team like Fiorentina has not won nearly one-third of the games.

AC Milan, which won seven consecutive victories in the league in the sprint stage, overtook Lazio and won the league runner-up. It was eliminated early in the European Cup Winners Cup, and the Coppa Italia was also defeated in the semi-finals. After being dropped by Florence by a long distance in the league, it was a runner-up. The title can be said to be the most important gift presented by Zaccheroni and AC Milan players on the club's centenary birthday.Of course, for the Rossoneri, who were still dominant in Europe a few years ago, the gift is only a Serie A runner-up, which seems too shabby.

Among the other teams vying for European seats, Lazio and Parma, which ranked third and fourth, have qualified for the Champions League next season. Roma is fifth, Inter Milan is seventh and Udi is eighth. Ness got a place in the UEFA Cup.

As for Vicenza, which ranks sixth in the standings, this small club has unexpectedly broken the spell that no one can successfully defend the European Cup Winners' Cup this season. Little Zhuge Guidolin led the team in the final Defeated Mallorca led by Cooper, who is known as the "second in ten thousand years", and stood on the podium of the European Cup Winners Cup for the second time in a row!

Therefore, after successfully defending the Cup Winners Cup, Vicenza, who did not qualify for the Champions League, got a ticket for the Cup Winners Cup as a matter of course-in the ranking of the three major European cups, the priority of the Cup Winners Cup It is not as good as the Champions Cup, but it ranks ahead of the UEFA Cup. Therefore, according to UEFA's regulations, Vicenza's UEFA Cup qualification was postponed backwards, which made it cheaper for Udinese, who is eighth in the league.

Although only ranked tenth in the standings, Bologna's luck is the best among the middle and lower teams-with the other three teams that reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia qualifying for the Champions League, They have logically qualified for the Cup Winners Cup next season!

Last season's AC Milan and this season's Bologna, these two teams are only ranked in the middle of the league, and they got a chance to participate in the European competition through the Italian Cup.With such a precedent, it is natural that all the Serie A teams that think they are unable to win a good ranking in the league will start to focus on the Coppa Italia next season, wondering if they can also use this method to make the team in Europe. Go on the field to get some benefits or something...

As for the league champion Fiorentina, although they have completed five consecutive Serie A championships this season, they have become the second team to win five consecutive Serie A championships after Juventus in the early 30s, thus completely confirming Viola's status in the top giants of Italian football.But the team was eliminated in the Champions League and the Coppa Italia, and they all crashed to the ground just before the threshold of victory was almost touched. Such an ending is obviously not satisfactory for people - especially Zhuang Mingge.

All in all, this season can only be regarded as unsatisfactory for Florence.
