PS1: Today's update is here. I hope that all book friends don't care too much about the update time. I will guarantee that I will not stop updating...
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.
Representatives of the 18 Serie A clubs did not express any objection to the Italian Football Association's invitation to Zeman as the head coach of the World All-Star team. Fans and media even applauded the Football Association's decision. Although Zeman lacked enough honors as a head coach, his extremely persistent coaching style and his football philosophy of "death without attacking" have extraordinary appeal to fans.
Therefore, Zeman's selection did not arouse much doubt, but instead made people have higher expectations for the first Serie A All-Star Game. After all, with limited resources at hand, Zeman, an offensive madman, was able to create the Foggia miracle, and brought the two Rome heroes out of the trough and reshape their strong team style. If he was given a lot of stars, what kind of surprise would this Czech coach bring to the fans?
With such expectations, fans expressed support for Zeman's coaching. After all, Zeman, who has a higher tactical level, is obviously more attractive to fans' attention than Heinkes, who has a storm-like offense as the selling point. Especially when the head coach of one of the sides has been determined to be Capello, it is quite necessary to appoint Zeman as the coach of the other side.
Think about it, if this All-Star Game was head-on by two pragmatists and tactical masters, Heinx and Capello, this game would not have been turned into a lifeless defensive battle by both of them?
Therefore, for the sake of ratings and the future of the All-Star Game (actually mainly for the sake of financial situation), the Italian Football Association will never let this situation appear in front of the audience.
By the way, after Zhuang Mingge traveled to this world, he suggested that the Italian Football Association strengthen the drug testing of players in various clubs, and the three Juventus giants were severely supervised by Jani Agnelli, so he did not dare to make any small moves on this. Therefore, Zeman was not retaliated by the other party for making unfavorable remarks against Juventus as he did in his previous life and was forced to leave the Serie A stage. Instead, he continued to coach on the Apennine Peninsula safely, showing people his unique football ideas to others.
However, although Zeman escaped the fate of being retaliated by Juventus under the fanning of the little butterfly, he was eventually fired by Roma for not bringing the team a heavyweight championship trophy. His successor in the Red Wolf is the opponent of this All-Star Game, gold medal coach Fabio Capello!
Therefore, the showdown between the two was also named "the battle of revenge" by many media and was widely promoted to attract more attention and build momentum for this Serie A All-Star Game.
After introducing the head coaches of the two teams participating in this All-Star Game, let’s take a look at the voting situation for this All-Star Game.
Although Heinx politely declined the position of coach of the World All-Star team on the grounds of busy team affairs, Zeman took advantage of it, which made many Fiorentina fans feel very regretful, in this All-Star voting, as the well-deserved overlord of Italian football in the past ten years and the current league leader, the number of votes received by Fiorentina players on various lists is naturally extremely considerable.
On the Italian All-Star team, Vieri and Inzagi, a pair of good friends, were far ahead of other competitors in the starting striker's vote. Whether it was Diego Milito and Dinatale, or Tony, Montera, and Pierro, the local leaders, they were unable to shake the rankings of the two. It can be said that when the voting started just one week, Vieri and Inzagi had already secured the qualification of starting striker in the All-Star Game in advance!
Let me explain here that since Capello and Zeman, the two head coaches, have great differences in the arrangement and coaching concepts, the final quotas assigned by the two teams in each position are also different. Forefront positions as an example, Capello submitted a 442 formation, while the 433 formation used by Zeman requires a center and two forwards who can be sidelined and hit can be fully developed. Therefore, Capello only needs to select the top two from the local players, while Zeman has to leave three quotas for foreign players.
In the midfield, Pirlo, Albertini, Barack and Marklele undoubtedly ranked among the top in this list. Of course, their competitors include "Prince of Melancholy" Robert Baggio, "Prince of Rome" Toti, Czech Ironman Nedved, Portuguese superstar Rui Costa, Brazilian stars Ronaldinho and Kaka.
If the voting between the front and midfielders is still a normal competition, but their respective situations are either one-sided or extremely fierce, then the voting trend of the defense line is really shocking. Because in the right-back vote, the player ranked first in the number of votes is not Zanbrotta, nor is it Argentina's Javier Zanetti, nor is it Brazilian star Kafu, but Sun Jihai, who is called the Chinese Suns by the media!
Therefore, it is still beneficial to have a motherland that has an overwhelming advantage in population. At least in this voting stage, as long as players from China have a little strength, they will basically have a huge advantage in this stage. This can be seen from the fact that the little giant, who had just entered the NBA in his previous life, defeated the huge shark O'Neal in the first All-Star vote in his career and drove him to the bench.
Regarding such a result, many European fans protested to the Italian Football Association, demanding that votes from the Celestial Empire be banned to ensure the rationality and fairness of the voting results.
However, the Italian Football Association did not agree with the requirements of these fans this time, and the reasons they gave were extremely sufficient: the votes they received were completely in line with relevant regulations, and we have no power to ban these votes!
You should know that since the starting lineup of the two teams is to be selected by voting, each fan can cast a total of twenty-two votes in this All-Star voting event. Moreover, when the fans cast the twenty-two votes in their hands, they must strictly abide by relevant regulations. They cannot concentrate the votes on a certain player, or do not vote in a centralized manner to players in the same position as required. If someone really dares to do this, the system will automatically determine that all votes of the user are invalid and will never give them another chance!
