The Era of Emerald

A few days later, Mullensten flew to Florence from Qatar. Since he himself had the experience of leading a du li team, Zhuang Mingge signed a work contract with Mullensten and hired him as the director of the youth training department of Florence. , responsible for managing all levels of Fiorentina's youth echelons, and he will also serve as the head coach of the Fiorentina youth team.

And because Moniz has not been a coach for a long time and has not enough experience, he was assigned under the youth training department as the technical director, responsible for the technical training of young players.

As for the old coach who has worked diligently in Florence for many years, he wisely accepted Zhuang Mingge's suggestion to let him retreat to the "second line".The old coach who had completed his mission accepted a job with a retirement nature arranged by Zhuang Mingge, and it was the Dutchman Mullensten who had just taken office in Florence to replace him as the head coach of the Fiorentina youth team.

In the first training session after Mullensten and Moniz came to Florence, they took a fancy to Pirlo, whom Zhuang Mingge strongly recommended to them before. The two with green eyes immediately made a special training session for Pirlo overnight. A set of training plans was prepared, and the complexity of the content above made Pirlo, who was already mentally prepared, dumbfounded.

Not to mention that Pirlo lived a "painful and happy" life under the care of several "masters", let us turn our attention back to the Serie A in the 1994-95 season.

In the ninth round of Serie A, under the leadership of Batistuta, Fiorentina continued to triumph and beat Bari 12-[-] at home. Batistuta scored a goal to seal the victory. No.[-] goals in the league.

In another game played at the same time, Parma, who had previously tied with Fiorentina in the standings, drew with AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium, and Fiorentina once again came out on top at the end of the ninth round.

Since Batistuta has scored goals in nine consecutive games since the start of the new Serie A season, such outstanding performance has naturally attracted the attention of many Italian media.Soon, on the second day after the match with Bari, some media uncovered the long-standing Serie A scoring record: the previous personal scoring streak in Serie A was created by a striker named Pasti , He scored in 1962 consecutive games in the 63-10 season. As long as Batistuta scores again in the tenth round, he can tie the record that has been dusty for more than 30 years.

However, the time for fans to see Batistuta tie the record may have to be delayed by a week, because the next weekend will be the international competition ri stipulated by FIFA. It won't start until two weeks later.

Although Fiorentina has achieved good results this season, there are very few players in the first team who have been recruited into the national team.In addition to Batistuta, who has long been the center forward of the Argentine national team, there is only Djorkaeff who was recruited into the national team by the new French coach Jacques to "observe".

As for Effenberg, another big-name foreign aid in the team?I'm sorry, Vogts said that Tiger's impression of him in the US World Cup was so bad that he no longer wanted to give Effenberg a chance to enter the national team.

As for the local gang in Florence, it is even more tragic. Although the old man Sacchi finally fell short in the World Cup in the United States, his runner-up result in the World Cup is enough to stop many people's mouths.

So, the stubborn Saki continued to insist on his own ideas.Although Baresi and Tassotti announced their retirement from the national team after the World Cup, Sacchi still recruited five players from the ailing AC Milan club, including Maldini Jr. and Albertini. Players, the second-ranked Parma has as many as seven people selected!Fiorentina, which tops the Serie A standings, has no one selected.

"Arango (Sacchi) has gone too far!" Antonioni slammed the stack of newspapers on the table after seeing the new squad of the Italian national team in the newspaper. Such a beauty, this old guy will turn a blind eye!"

"Okay, don't be angry, come, take a sip to calm down." Zhuang Mingge handed Antonioni a cup of freshly brewed black tea, and said with a smile, "My boss is not angry at all, so what's the matter with you being so angry? , take a closer look, isn’t the name of Roberto Baggio and Pagliuca not on the list?”

"Huh? This is really... Then tell me, what exactly does this old man want to do?!" Antonioni still had lingering anger, and there was still some blush on his face. Forget about the mixed United team of AC Milan and Parma going to play in the European Cup in England!"

"I think the reason why Fiorentina players are not selected may be because Sacchi thinks we have no experience, and the league has just started, and he wants to continue to observe Fiorentina's strength." Zhuang Mingge can only pick good-looking ones and talk to Antonio. Ni said, lest this man get angry again.

"Then what about the loss of Baggio and Pagliuca?"

"Giancarlo, do you still remember the commentary in Gazzetta dello Sport after the World Cup?" Zhuang Mingge asked after taking a sip of black tea.

"Ah, is that the comment that said that Sacchi was able to lead the national team to the World Cup runner-up because of Baggio's offense and Pagliuca's defense?" Antonioni recalled, remembering the article that caused great displeasure. Less controversial articles, "Are you saying..."

"Yes, it is precisely because many people support this view that Sacchi wants to prove that his Italian national team can achieve good results in major competitions without these two players."

"This, is this too childish?" Antonioni said in disbelief.

"Hehe, this is just my guess. Maybe coach Saki has other ideas." Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge secretly sighed in his heart. He already knew how unfairly Sacchi would be treated by Baggio and Pagliuca in the next two years.

Looking back on Sacchi's coaching experience, it is indeed very unusual. He has the reputation of "gold medal coach", but in fact he has won only a handful of championship honors... He was born in a shoemaker, completely "grassroots" and has not received any formal coaching training. Parma, he is the "Godfather of Parma". When he came to AC Milan, he was dubbed the supreme title of "Gold Medal Coach". He created a series of football concepts that are not fully formed, which can deeply affect the later Capello, Ancelotti, and even the younger Basten, Donadoni, Rijkaard...he is firmly walking on his own football path, one that advocates oppressive offense, one that emphasizes " There is no end to life, no end to battle", a kind of Caesar's road that hopes to reshape the soul of the Italian nation.Success or failure is no longer important, he at least aroused the self-confidence of a nation!

It is such an extraordinary coach who can bring confidence to many people around him. After Zhuang Mingge experienced such a time-traveling incident, he was surprised to find that coach Saki revealed a certain kind of deep "inferiority" emotion in his bones. With "low self-esteem", he can threaten the players abnormally again and again, and leave if they don't follow his requirements. He can also let the best players in the team watch the games of those lesser players more than once.

In 96, why did he repeatedly disregard the actual situation and the voice of the people, and stubbornly wanted to prove to the world that the Italian national team would be better without Baggio and Pagliuca?In the depths of his soul, isn't there a feeling of inferiority to the bottom of his heart, wandering alone?

The unusual grassroots coaching experience naturally made the old man Saki an almost unique personality in the football circle. The special style of "inferiority" under the appearance!
