Chapter 669 The Frenchman Who Steals Chickens
PS: I would like to ask for recommendation votes here, thank you everyone...
Four days after the end of the match with Como, Fiorentina welcomed her second opponent in the warm-up match at home.
In this game, Luca Tony, who had just transferred from Fiorentina to Vicenza this summer, performed well. In the game, he scored two goals on his head and gave Larson an assist, almost capsizing the gutter of Florence, who was still in the running-in period.
Although Tony's outstanding performance made Purple Lily fall behind in a big way from the beginning of the game, in the end, Fiorentina still scored three goals in the last ten minutes with the outstanding performance of new players such as Ljumbley, Deco, Dinatale on the offensive end, and helped Purple Lily equalize the score at the last moment and get a draw at home.
After this warm-up match, the outside media downgraded their predictions for the prospects of Fiorentina's new season. The reason was that after Capello's team transferred and left one after another, Florence seemed to have had considerable problems on both offense and defense, especially in the warm-up match against Vicenza, the players in Fiorentina were beaten in a mess by their opponents and did not reflect the strength of a triple-champion team.
However, Zhuang Mingge obviously did not take these views seriously. In his opinion, when the main players such as Tordo, Nesta, Vieri and others missed the first two warm-up matches due to the World Cup, it would be normal for Fiorentina, who lacked soldiers, to perform in the warm-up match. If even these starting lineups with substitutes and young players can suppress Vicenza, who plays all the main players on the court, then Zhuang Mingge would be surprised.
In addition, another reason why Fiorentina's performance in the warm-up match is closely related to the fact that Fiorentina's head coach Capello used a large number of new players in the starting roster in these two games.
After all, the lack of sufficient tacit understanding among players and the unfamiliarity with Italian football style will lead to various unfamiliar mistakes in the game, and these mistakes will often lead to the team's goal loss, which will affect the trend of the entire game.
This is especially true for Marklele, who is regarded as the substitute of Davis and Dibiagio. Since he had never played in Italy before, he adapted to Italy's football style that was very different from France and was constantly working with his teammates around him. It was natural that he performed mediocrely in these two warm-up matches.
Therefore, for Marklele, who has been questioned by the outside world, both Zhuang Mingge and Capello, they have shown great patience with him, because they have to pay some price to integrate a new player, especially those who need to contribute to the team on the defensive end, into the existing tactical system.
The pain period is a period that cannot be avoided when any team is undergoing renewal.
What Capello can do now is to make as much use of every warm-up match and the team's training opportunities as much as possible, so that every newcomer can become familiar with Florence's tactical style as soon as possible, and form enough tacit understanding with the old players so as not to be embarrassed on the court during formal games.
Just as Capello racked his brains to figure out how to get new players such as Marklele and Deco to integrate into the team as quickly as possible, an election was underway in UEFA headquarters in Nissan, Switzerland.
As one of the two candidates participating in the UEFA presidential election, Platini, a former French football superstar, has served as the head coach of the French national team and chairman of the French World Cup Organizing Committee, is sitting in his seat at this time, his heart full of anxiety and anxiety.
When Johnson defeated Blatt, who was promoted by Avilan, and successfully elected FIFA president in June this year, Platini realized that he must take advantage of Johnson's "high-spirited" opportunity to complete the UEFA snatch power within UEFA. Otherwise, once the people of the Johnson faction ascend and firmly take the position of UEFA president, then without FIFA's "foreign aid", Platini will find it difficult to shake the opponent's position even if he is famous, no matter how high his reputation is, no matter how high his reputation is, it is likely that he will be difficult to shake the opponent's position.
In fact, the reason why Platini was able to defeat Johnson as elected UEFA President in history was, on the one hand, because FIFA President Blatter openly built momentum for Platini's campaign at that time, which led to many UEFA members under the pressure of FIFA; on the other hand, because Johnson is indeed old and has given UEFA affairs to Olson and others for a long time to handle, many people think that they have no energy to preside over the overall situation, which makes Platini, who is considered to be more energetic and more energetic, take advantage of the loopholes, defeat Johnson, and ascend to the throne of UEFA President.
Therefore, as mentioned before, if Johnson has been promoted to FIFA President, if Platini cannot seize this opportunity and successfully take over the power transfer within UEFA by his opponent, then the Frenchman without any advantage will most likely never stand out!
Therefore, at the meeting where UEFA internal discussion of the new president, Platini couldn't wait to take the initiative to jump out, objected to Johnson's decision to designate Olson's successor, and demanded that the UEFA presidential election be held in advance, so that representatives of UEFA member states will decide who is more qualified.
At first, Platini felt that the probability of his own success was quite high. First of all, because his main competitor Olsen was not as well-known as Platini, which led to his lack of the necessary mass base although he worked diligently in UEFA for many years and did a lot of practical things.
Secondly, Platini has another advantage in participating in the election at this time, that is, as the chairman of the World Cup organizing committee, he successfully held the just-concluded World Cup in France. Although the performance of the host France team in the World Cup can only be considered unsatisfactory, overall, this World Cup is still a very successful one. Therefore, with the successful hosting of the World Cup, Platini's ability naturally received very high praise, and his influence in European football associations naturally rose to a higher level.
However, shortly after Platini announced his election for UEFA presidential election, news that shocked him reached his ears!
It turned out that Johnson's side did not allow Olsen to participate in the presidential election as the French expected, but instead launched another heavyweight player in European football. His reputation was only higher than that of Platini's "football emperor", German Franz Beckenbauer!
