Chapter 1116 Blue Eagle with Broken Wings (1)

PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

The reason why Bayern, who had four draws and three losses in the group stage, has not yet confirmed that he missed the quarterfinals in advance because in another game in Group G, Lens finally showed his style of Ligue 1 runner-up. He overturned La Coruña at home without being favored, gave this La Liga powerhouse a victory, and grabbed three points from it.

In this way, with the first four rounds of group stages, the situation of Group G's qualifying became clearer: Fiorentina, who won all four games, took the lead in the group standings with twelve points and locked in the qualification in advance; La Coruna, who won two wins and lost two losses, ranked second, and Lance, who finally won the first victory in the group stage, followed closely with four points; as for Bayern Munich, they were ranked last, five points behind La Coruna with two rounds left in the group stage, and there is still theoretical hope of qualifying!

So, in a sense, Bayern Munich should thank Lens more at this time. If they hadn't defeated La Coruna in this round, then Bayern would probably not even see this hope. Although judging from the current qualifying situation, Bayern had completed the reversal in the last two rounds of the game and had a very slim hope of winning the top 16, if Heathfield could lead the team to win two consecutive victories and Fiorentina could play a fair game spirit and defeat Lens and La Coruna, then Bayern was obviously worth saving.

The hope of qualifying is in the hands of Fiorentina, which is what worries Bayern the most at present. After all, from the perspective of Fiorentina, they have already qualified in advance and have no obligation to spend time and strive for victory in the remaining games, because this does not benefit them.

Perhaps they would be less passive and lazy in the face of Beckenbauer, but it is obviously a very unrealistic thing to make Florence do its best for Bayern.

Therefore, Bayern fans are generally pessimistic about the team's qualifying situation in the Champions League, believing that the most likely thing they are to compete with Lens for the third place in the group, and to ensure that they can participate in the League Cup after the group stage, rather than say goodbye to the European arena completely. As for the top 16 seats in the Champions League, they have not had any expectations at all.

After all, Fiorentina has had a record in this kind of thing. In the 1995-96 season, Purple Lily lost to Glasgow Rangers after ensuring her qualification, which directly led to La Liga giants Real Madrid returning home after the group stage, making Real Madrid a topic of conversation and laughing stock for fans after dinner for a long time. It was not until Florentino came on stage and signed Figo and Zidane at a world record price, and after successfully winning the Big Ear Cup last season, Real Madrid truly came out of that shadow.

Fiorentina obviously would not care about Bayern's dynamics. After locking in advance to qualify, Heinkes can finally focus on the domestic arena and no longer have to distract the team's combat effectiveness for the Champions League.

On November 17, the 11th round of the Serie A was held as scheduled. The entire Fiorentina team was ready at the Frankie Stadium and was ready to face the challenge of the Blue Eagles Lazio.

For the Lazio Club, 2002 was undoubtedly a disaster year. Its parent company, Cirio Group, fell into a serious financial crisis due to heavy debt. Team chairman Cranioti was also investigated by the Italian judicial department for suspected capital flight and investment fraud, which further deepened the Lazio crisis.

In addition, the Blue Eagle has not paid the remaining balance in several major acquisitions in the past few years (Note: Cranioti adopted installment payments when operating the transfers of Mendeta and Claudio Lopez). Lazio, who has always shown himself as a big shot in the transfer market, finally felt the financial embarrassment this time.

Therefore, in the European transfer market this summer, this luxurious army created by Cranioti has spent countless efforts to become the target of many giant clubs: the center Crespo was taken away by Inter Milan and exchanged for a mere $10 million in cash and local center Corradi; last summer, Mendeta, who transferred to the Blue Eagles at a sky-high price of 48 million euros, had not had time to prove himself again after a nightmare season, was sent back to the familiar La Liga arena by Lazio, who was eager to reduce his salary expenses. Barcelona won the former Spanish midfielder core without spending pennies.

For the Blue Eagles this summer, the most fatal blow is undoubtedly the transfer of the team captain Grandoni. The player who changed his fate of falling prematurely after Nesta was poached by Zhuang Mingge in advance, and gradually grew into a first-class central defender. The moment before the transfer gate was closed, he announced that he had invested in AC Milan's arms for $35 million, and stabbed the parent team hard at the most difficult time!

By the way, unlike his previous life, Galliani in this life did not put pressure on Lazio through his power in the professional league, so naturally there was no such thing as Lazio was unable to register for the Serie A due to shortage of funds. In other words, Grandoni's transfer to AC Milan was entirely due to the players' personal wishes and had nothing to do with Lazio club!

It is precisely because of this that Grandoni did not get forgiven by Lazio fans after transferring to AC Milan like Nesta in his previous life. In the eyes of Blue Eagles fans, Grandoni chose to leave without hesitation after the club was in trouble, rather than working with his parent team, is an absolute traitor!

You should know that unlike Crespo and Mendeita, Grandoni, as the team captain and local player leader, has always been regarded as a symbol of his own people and club by Lazio fans. Therefore, Grandoni's choice made Lazio fans angry, because his betrayal has almost announced the disintegration of the Blue Eagles in advance to everyone!

After all, even the captain who has worked hard for many years has chosen to transfer and leave at this time. What capital and reason does Lan Ying have to keep others?

However, although the losses have been heavy this summer, Lazio's performance after the start of the season was shocking. The Blue Eagles, who lost their sharp swords and defensive core, did not recover as expected, but instead shone with amazing vitality under the leadership of head coach Robert Mancini.
