Football: Start With A Speed Value Of 99

Fast forward to December 22, 2012!

The 18th round of the league is about to start!

This is the last game before the winter break and the last game before Christmas!

In the first 17 games, Fiorentina had 14 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 44 points!

Shi Xiaoyu scored 16 goals, 12 assists, double-double data, very impressive!

Although the Fiorentina team has a good record, the chasing troops behind them are also very fast.

The league standings are as follows!

1 Florence 44 points

2 Inter Milan 42 points

3AC Milan 36 points

4 Juventus 33 points

5 Rome 31 points

...

18 Sassuolo 14 points

19 Livorno 13 points

20 Venice 10 points

In the first 17 games, Inter Milan had 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, only 2 points behind Fiorentina!

And the 18th round is the direct confrontation between Fiorentina and Inter Milan!

This is a direct duel between No. 1 and No. 2 in the league, known as a 6-point battle!

This game is of great significance to Florence!

If they can win against Inter Milan, they can widen the gap by 5 points and further consolidate the team's leading position in the standings!

The team members relax physically and mentally, and can have a good rest for Christmas. After the winter break, the pressure is much less!

In the west, Christmas is equivalent to New Year's Eve in China. Who doesn't want to win before the new year and have a good year!

If they lose to Inter Milan and both score the same points, then after entering the second half of the season, Inter Milan is likely to overtake Fiorentina by virtue of their overall lineup advantage and deep bench hardness!

After all, although Fiorentina were triumphant all the way in the first half of the season, they relied too much on Shi Xiaoyu's personal performance!

However, Inter Milan has many stars, and the strength of each position is balanced!

In view of this situation, many Italian football professionals have expressed that they are more optimistic about Inter Milan!

Former AC Milan star Van Basten said in an interview with local media in the Netherlands:

"The current Serie A championship is between Fiorentina and Inter Milan! Compared to Fiorentina, I prefer to take Inter Milan, because their style of play is more mature, and the overall strength configuration is more balanced!"

Italian coach Lippi, in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport at home, also talked about his views on the championship situation.

Lippi once led Italy to win the World Cup in 2006. He is very popular in China and supported by the people of China!

He pointedly pointed out:

"The Fiorentina team relies on Shi Xiaoyu's personal performance. If he is injured in the second half of the season, it will be a devastating blow to Fiorentina's offensive line!"

"We have seen that Shi Xiaoyu not only needs to score goals, he also needs to take on the work of organizing and connecting in the midfield! One person takes on the work of two people. In the second half of the season, I am worried about his physical condition!"

The famous former Serie A player Plotti also supports Lippi's view!

Plotti is the only player who has won the top scorer in the three leagues of A, B, and C so far! He is a legend in Italian football. In order to commemorate this veteran who made great contributions, the Livorno club permanently sealed the No. 10 jersey that Proti once wore!

Prodi said: "The league is a long process, which is equivalent to a marathon. The athletes who lead in the first half of the game may not be able to persist until the second half!"

He believes that the Inter Milan team is accumulating strength. When they sprint in April and May, this team that won the only Triple Crown in Serie A two years ago will have richer experience in winning the championship!

The Fiorentina team has almost zero championship experience! The only few players who have won championships, such as Tony, are not enough to support the championship temperament of the entire team!

From this point of view, Italian coaches, or those famous players, are all optimistic about Inter Milan!

This is more in line with the consensus of the vast majority of Italian fans!

After all, in so many years of Serie A history, many teams have won the first half of the league championship!

There are many dark horse teams among them.

But as Lippi said, the league is a long process, a marathon!

The league is won by points, which is a significant difference between the league and the cup!

They believe that the Fiorentina team does not have this strength!

In fact, it's not just external factors. In the Fiorentina team, their mentality is also very relaxed!

Most players believe that the current position of the team has far exceeded the ability of the players on the court.

The current ranking is almost entirely due to Shi Xiaoyu's personal performance!

At the same time, Shi Xiaoyu's personal performance also led the overall performance of the players in the team!

But in the second half of the season, there will inevitably be problems with physical fitness, but there is only scientific basis and historical experience!

Whether Florence's momentum can continue, almost everyone has no bottom in their hearts! Because of this, the mentality of the players is very relaxed, without too much psychological pressure!

Montella thought so too!

Therefore, in order to let the players face Inter Milan with a good attitude, Montella did not arrange daily training the day before the start of the game, and even gave the whole team a holiday to let them go out more and relax their minds!

This afternoon, Shi Xiaoyu took advantage of the holiday to hang out in Florence!

I have been in this city for half a year, but I have no time to take a good look at every corner of the city and feed the pigeons in the square.
