The Era of Emerald

For the game with Dinamo Zagreb, Ranieri does not think the opponent will cause much trouble for himself.

Poor logistics supply, backward tactical thinking, rapidly declining player quality... As long as Fiorentina plays normally, there is no possibility of losing.

As a result, Ranieri replaced a large number of substitutes and young players in this game, and only retained a few main players.

The fans of Dinamo Zagreb are also very clear about the current situation of the team. They know that when they meet Fiorentina from Serie A, their hopes of advancing to the next round have been shattered.Therefore, this time they watched the game with the attitude of admiring the performances of both sides.

When the Zagreb player got the ball, the fans cheered him; when Fiorentina attacked, there was no booing from the stadium.

It's not that miracles won't happen, but when the strength gap between the two sides reaches a considerable level, the probability of "miracles" happening will be infinitely reduced.

Obviously, in this game, Dinamo Zagreb did not get the favor of the goddess of luck. They were beaten by Fiorentina helplessly in the game.

Effenberg's scalpel-like pass, Djorkaeff's sharp breakthrough, Lanner's tireless running back and forth between the two baselines...

Batistuta's strength and impact were also fully displayed in this game. God of War, who scored four goals in this game, was cheered by the fans when he was replaced by Vieri in the 60th minute of the second half.

Ranieri was also embarrassed to bully his opponents excessively. He replaced the only few main players on the field early, and used a substitute to deal with opponents on the field.

In the end, the score was fixed at [-]-[-], Fiorentina won a big away game, and advancing to the quarter-finals was basically a foregone conclusion.

After returning to Florence, Zhuang Minge told Antonioni about the agreement between himself and Dinamo Zagreb. The general manager of Florence, who had long been coveted by the talented players in Eastern Europe, was "obliged" to take over the contract. Great and honorable task.

As for the funds for the acquisition of the team, Zhuang Minge naturally transferred them to Antonioni's account in the form of "bonuses".The reason why Antonioni was chosen was because Zhuang Minge believed that the celebrity would be loyal to the club and could stay in Fiorentina without a single champion, earning a second-rate salary in Serie A and working as a first-tier star. Antonioni's people The taste is enough to make Zhuang Mingge admire.

When acquiring the club, Antonioni raised an objection that Croatia had not joined the European Union at this time.In other words, even if the final judgment of the European Court of Justice is in favor of Bosman, this bill will not be enforced in Croatia.

However, Zhuang Mingge, who knows the future trend of the world, dispelled Antonioni's doubts with a few words: "With the collapse of the Eastern European system led by the Soviets, how could the European Union let go of the fat that was delivered to the door!"

……

On October 10th, the Florence team headed north to the small city of Brescia in northern Italy and the southern foot of the Alps.

Speaking of Brescia, I am afraid that many Chinese fans will immediately think of Robert Baggio. In the summer of 2000, Brescia spent more than half of the team's transfer funds to introduce Baggio, who was suppressed by Lippi at Inter Milan. The signings not only allowed Brescia to successfully relegation for four consecutive years, but also qualified for the European war in the 2000-01 season.

Due to the loss of the team's midfield core and the captain of the Romanian national team Haji in the summer, Brescia's performance in the league this season is extremely poor, with only one win, one draw, four losses and four points, ranking third from the bottom of the league. , The relegation situation is worrying.

Since there will be a second round of the Cup Winners Cup against Dinamo Zagreb in the middle of next week, so in this game, coach Ranieri still made a certain degree of rotation to the starting lineup.

In this way, in the eighth round of Serie A, Fiorentina won Brescia in the away game without bloodshed. Batistuta, who was in excellent form, gave the Brescia players a "three-game losing streak" with his iconic "Bati goal". one's gift.

So far, Batistuta has scored goals in the eight rounds of Serie A in the new season. He has scored a total of 11 goals, ranking first in the league scorer list. Fiorentina also won eight games The game has six wins, one draw and one loss, scored 26 goals and lost 7 goals, accumulating [-] points and tied with Parma, which has achieved the same record, at the top of the Serie A standings.

However, Batistuta's feat of scoring goals in eight consecutive rounds did not make the headlines of the major sports newspapers the next day, because there was a heavyweight game in yesterday's Serie A, and that was AC Milan's away game game against Juventus.

Juventus coach "Silver Fox" Lippi faced Capello's old-fashioned AC Milan, and decisively sacrificed his housekeeping skills. Under the leadership of the new core Vialli, the Juventus players played well in the game. With tireless running and crazy pressing, the mighty AC Milan was passive everywhere. Roberto Baggio's goal completely tore up the myth of the Milan dynasty.

After the eighth round of Serie A, Juventus followed Fiorentina and Parma with five wins, two draws and one loss.After Milan's four-game losing streak in the league, Capello, who was devastated by the team's poor record, began to suggest to Galliani that they should strengthen their signings during the winter break...

At the same time, Zhuang Mingge was sitting in his office reading the newspaper of the day.

"Tsk tsk... Milan has lost four games in a row. It seems that the old man Berlusconi is going to go crazy again." Zhuang Mingge commented casually, and turned to the next section, "Hey! Parma did a great job! It's actually able to beat Juventus Tus, and Florence at the top of the list..."

"Hey, Antonio! Look at what I found!" At this moment, Antonioni rushed into Zhuang Mingge's office with a video tape, and said excitedly.

"Huh?" Zhuang Mingge was a little frightened by the excited and distorted face of the general manager, and couldn't react for a while, "Giancarlo, what are you excited about?"

"Genius! Genius!" Antonioni waved the video tape in his hand excitedly, "This tape records a talented young player! I have never seen a player who is more outstanding than him in the same age group." Se's Italian players!"

"Uh, talented young players?"

"That's right!" Antonioni nodded vigorously, "I watched his performance throughout the game, he is simply the Italian version of Pele!"

"Um, Giancarlo, are you talking about that Francesco Totti at Roma?"

"Francisco Totti? It turns out that you are also optimistic about him!" Antonioni shrugged pretending to be humorous, and said, "But unfortunately, you guessed wrong."

"Okay, what's his name?" Zhuang Mingge felt that he was powerless to deal with Antonioni who was clearly in a state of frenzy, so he stroked his forehead with his right hand, and said helplessly.

"Andrea Pirlo."

"..." Damn it!How did you find him!
