Chapter 456: Shocking the Record

PS: This is the first update today. The 76,000 recommended update will be posted in the evening. Thank you for your support.

After defeating Perugia away, Fiorentina's consecutive unbeaten record in the league has reached 56 games, only two games away from tying AC Milan's 58 unbeaten games in 1991-93.

This situation makes Milan fans panic. You should know that 58 unbeaten games are one of the topics they have always talked about, and it is also one of the prides of AC Milan.

If such a great record is tied or even surpassed by Florence, anyone will feel very upset.

So, a public opinion storm against Florence began.

"Milan Sports" which supports Milan's two heroes in a position, took the lead in launching a public opinion war. While putting pressure on Fiorentina on the media, I hope that Fiorentina players will perform abnormally in the game due to excessive psychological pressure; while trying hard to cheer Udinese up and encourage him, I hope that this team that had successfully blocked Juventus and gave Fiorentina three consecutive championships in the league can bring some surprises to the Milanese in this round, such as defeating Fiorentina, defeating Fiorentina, and defeating Fiorentina...

Juventus' mouthpiece, Turin Sports, also shook flags and shouted on its own position, sang against Fiorentina, threatening to claim that AC Milan's unbeaten league record is an insurmountable natural barrier for all teams. The huge psychological pressure will defeat Fiorentina, and the Purple Lily will inevitably fall in front of the finish line...

Although these statements from the media have successfully made Fiorentine fans feel a little worried about whether the team can tie AC Milan's unbeaten record, for the players in Fiorentine, the "storm" initiated by the Italian media is really too pediatric.

"Don't worry about those cowards who are only good at making noises. As long as we are strong enough, they will be useless even if they bloom their tongues with lotus flowers." Effenberg, who has experienced the middle finger storm and has endured the accusations of fans all over the world, was very dissatisfied with the "small wind and waves" caused by the media, and cheered his teammates very calmly so that they could participate in the next game calmly.

"Stefan is right. Those media are like this. When they perform well, they will praise you so that there is no one in the world. When you are in a bad state, you will become worthless. So you don't need to pay attention to what they say. Just do our best to play the game." Nesta, who has also been criticized by the media, agreed with Effenberg's statement. He accidentally shoveled Gasco as a serious injury in training, and received countless accusations from the club and internal bans from the club. He was even sold to Purple Lily by the team's boss Cranioti as a hot potato.

And when Nesta became famous in Fiorentina and became a hope star on the Italian defense line, how many people would still be re-reported? Most media were cheering for his wonderful steals and interceptions in the game, rather than endlessly narrating the old and scattered grains.

Such a huge change has made Nesta fully realize the media's two sides, so Nesta now doesn't feel much about the tense atmosphere deliberately created by the media.

The personal experience of Effenberg and Nesta is quite convincing, at least it made many Fiorentine players who were originally a little nervous. For example, young players Tomasi, Zanetti and others, after seriously thinking about the words of the vice captain and others, they felt that this kind of thing was indeed not worth their thinking too much. Playing well in every game is what they should do now.

On May 11, in the 30th round of the Serie A, Fiorentina welcomed Udinese, who came to challenge at home.

Since the final of the Champions League is May 28, Capello, who only needs to deal with one battlefield in the league in the near future, sent all the main players in this game. On the one hand, it is to ensure the team's combat effectiveness in the game. On the other hand, Capello also plans to let them adjust their game status and prepare for the Champions League final at the end of this month.

Facing the frontcourt trident composed of Amoruso, Poggy and Vierhof, Capello sent Stam and Nesta's central defender combination in a very targeted manner. The former's body can withstand the impact of the German center forward, and his height of 1.91 meters also makes him not at all disadvantage in fighting for high-altitude balls; the latter uses more predictions and fill-in to sweep the tail for his partner and intercept all the missed balls. At the same time, Carlos and Zambrota also got the starting opportunity in this game. They will provide Amoruso and Poggy with all-round and no blind spots for 90 minutes.

In the midfield, Redondo and Effenberg continued to start, but the players in charge of the midfield defense became Davis and Dibiagio. Capello was still not very relieved about Thomassi and their mental state, worried that Udinese's extremely impactful offensive style would break down his carefully constructed defense line, so he put all the main midfielders on the court in this game.

On the forward line, because Philip Inzaghi has accumulated yellow cards and Vieri has had mild muscle strain symptoms in the last game, so this time Batistuta and Ronaldo appear together.

For home team Fiorentina, the game was not going smoothly.

At the 24th minute of the game, Amoruso shook Zanbrotta with a bicycle move on the left and then made a high pass. Bierhof, who followed in the middle, smashed the ball into the goal before Stam cleared, and Udinese led 1-0.

Ten minutes later, Udinese made a comeback. Poggy, Jorgensen and Helvig made a wonderful small-scale cooperation on the right, making Davis and Carlos, who were responsible for the defense in this area, dizzy. In the end, Poggy scored a goal, 2-0!

Udinese led Fiorentina two goals. The happiest one was not Udinese's fans, but AC Milan fans. After hearing the news that Fiorentina was behind at home, the fans of the Ross and Blacks breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was no need to worry that Milan's unbeaten record would be caught by Fiorentina.

When the game entered the halftime break, thousands of Udinese fans from afar celebrated happily in the stands, while Fiorentina fans remained silent in the stands. They did not expect that Zi Lily, who had the advantage of many strong teams, would be led by a small ball like Udinese at home.
