When Batistuta, the team's first captain, won the league championship trophy, the atmosphere at the entire Frankie Stadium reached its highest level!
The Serie A champion in the 1997-98 season is Florence!
AC Milan players who won the game had already left the stadium on the team bus. They were once the overlord of Europe, but they were not in the mood to appreciate the scene of Florence celebrating the championship.
The recent two seasons have been like nightmare for the Ross and Blacks. Not to mention the weak league championship, even the qualification for European war has become an unattainable dream. Such a huge gap makes Milan players have no intention to celebrate a victory.
The players in Fiorentina waved the championship trophy and the flag with the Fiorentina team logo to celebrate this unforgettable moment with the fans on the sidelines!
The great achievement of winning four consecutive Serie A is enough to make their names and Florence write into the history of football!
At this point, the 1997-98 Serie A has all ended. Although Atlanta, which ranked fourth from the bottom, has two relegation playoffs to play, at this time, no one except Atlanta fans will care about the results of the playoffs.
Fiorentina scored 26 wins, three draws and five losses in the 34th round of the league and won the Serie A championship for the fourth time in a row. However, compared with the 92-point winning record last season, there is obviously still a big gap.
Juventus and Inter Milan won the league runner-up and third place respectively. In the league fourth place, Ancelotti's Parma ended this time, and Udinese, Lazio and Roma had to accept the fate of only participating in the League Cup next season.
With the final round of victory against Fiorentina, Ranieri's AC Milan surpassed Bologna and Sampdoria at the last moment, ranking ninth in the standings, missing the European qualification.
As for the biggest dark horse of last season, Vechenza, Guidolin's team was too distracted by the European arena this season, and the performance of this small ball club on the league was not satisfactory when the bench depth was insufficient. In the end, it only surpassed AC Milan and ranked eighth in the league.
However, Vicenza's players are not very frustrated with this, because they reached the finals in the European Cup Winners and the Italian Cup, and their opponent Fiorentina in the Italian Cup final has ensured the qualification to participate in the Champions League, which means that regardless of whether Vicenza wins the championship or not, they will be qualified to participate in the Cup Winners next season.
By the way, AC Milan Club can be said to be the club that besides Vicenza itself, the one who most hopes that Vicenza can win the Winners Cup championship. Because once Vicenza finally wins the Winners Cup championship trophy, according to the rules announced by UEFA, the qualification for this Winners Cup will be contested by the two teams eliminated in the semi-finals, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
In this way, no matter whether AC Milan loses or wins, the Ross and Blacks can get a European seat, which is of course the result that AC Milan most hopes to see.
The three teams that have been directly relegated from Serie A this season are Napoli, Empoli and Brescia, and Atlanta will play in two rounds of play-offs with Salonitana. The winner will be qualified for the Serie A next season.
In addition, in the selection of the most popular league golden boots, Udinese's Oliver Bierkov showed an amazing state this season. Zacheroni fully utilized the header advantage of the German center, allowing this late-achieving player to wear the first Serie A golden boot in his personal player career with his 27 league goals in a single season.
Due to the fierce internal competition and multi-line battles, last season's Serie A golden boot Philip Inzagi scored only 24 league goals this season and had to rank second in the scorer list; Batistuta started high and fell this season, and the God of War, who encountered a goal drought after the winter break, scored a total of 17 league goals, making him the second scorer in Fiorentina; Ronaldo and Vieri ranked seventh in the league scorer list with 16 goals, and Brescia center Hubner was tied with them; Julio Cruise continued to show people his potential as a super substitute. In extremely limited playing time, Bati's Argentine fellow scored twelve goals, which was no less than those long-standing star strikers.
Since Cruz has performed quite well in the past one and a half seasons, the Argentine striker naturally attracted a large group of teams to chase. Among these chasers, the two Milan players were the most active. The former was getting old and Cruyvit was in a sluggish state. Cruz, who was extremely efficient in scoring, fell into the eyes of AC Milan general manager Galliani; the latter pursued Cruz more because Boss Mo Da's forward collecting habit has occurred again. Although in the eyes of many people, the Nerazzurri, which has Robert Baggio (22 goals in the league), Djokav (14 goals in the league) and Zamorano (10 goals in the league) already has many excellent attackers, and there is no need to introduce other forwards.
Of course, Cruise is not the only player in the Fiorentina team targeted by other clubs. Ze Roberto, Zanetti, Matrazi and other bench players with remarkable performances, as well as main rotation players such as Tomasi and Rui Costa have also been awarded the best from other teams.
However, at Zhuang Mingge's request, Florence went down from him and when talking about transfer issues in media interviews, he avoided such topics on the grounds that "it is not advisable to talk about such topics during the preparations for the game."
The players in Fiorentina are also very cooperative with the requirements from senior management. They know that if they want to transfer to another team to get a better contract, then they must have more championship honors to base. Therefore, before these two finals are over, the players will naturally not make any discord at this critical moment, because they know in their hearts that there is one more championship in the honor book, and when they negotiate a new contract with the club, they will have more confidence to demand higher treatment.
