After the game, Batistuta and Vieri, the master-apprentice, greeted each other on the court and prepared to exchange jerseys on the sidelines. Although the two are now their respective positions, this does not hinder the master-apprenticeship between Bati and Vieri.

"I said, Master." During the exchange of jerseys, Vieri patted Bati on the shoulder and asked in confusion, "Why did you have to leave Fiorentina? The atmosphere in the locker room here is much better than other teams. Not only are the salary high, but the championship can be won. You have such a high position in the minds of the boss and the fans. How can Inter Milan give you this? If it is because I occupy too much playing time for you, I am willing to share these time with Master, and I will never make you embarrassed by Master!"

"Christian (Vieri), I did not leave Fiorentina for so-called money or status in the club, of course, not because of your relationship." Looking at the apprentice who had achieved nothing less than that of even signs of surpassing myself, Batty smiled and replied, "Although in your opinion, my words may just be just an excuse, but I can tell you clearly that if it were not for my country and my World Cup dream, I would never choose to leave Fiorentina! Even if I sit on the bench and sit on the bench, I would never do this!"

"You know, the Argentine national team is now full of talents in the center position. In addition to me, newcomers such as Julio (Cruise), Crespo, Palermo have emerged. Their appearance and growth have had a great impact on my position in the national team. Therefore, in order to ensure that I can continue to be at the main center position under coach Bielsa, I have to make a choice between Fiorentina and the national team!"

"To be honest, it's really hard for me to understand what you are thinking about, Master, you have participated in two World Cups as the absolute main force, obviously not satisfied yet." Vieri handed the jersey with the number nine printed on Bati, and then took Inter Milan's uniform from Bati, and said, "Look at Captain Fernando (Redondo) and Stefan (Efenberg), they announced their retirement from the national team when they were about the same age as Master, and they should prove their abilities more like the World Cup stage that fans around the world are paying attention to."

"That's because everyone has their own ambitions. Fernando and Stefan have been unrespected in the national team over the years, so they naturally feel a little resentment in their hearts. It is natural to choose to withdraw at this time." As Redondo's teammate in the Argentina national team, Barty certainly knew that the unfair treatment this compatriot received in the Passarella era. It was indeed a very sad past. It is natural for Redondo to be unwilling to stay in the national team and continue to be angry. "But I am different. Now my total World Cup goals have reached nine. As long as one more, I can raise this number to double digits. Such honors are really hard for me to give up. Moreover, being able to represent the Argentina national team on the stage of the World Cup three times in a row is a huge honor in itself. For me, this is really an undeniable**."

"Well, I just want to ask Master for confirmation in person, and there is nothing else." Vieri hung Bati's jersey on her shoulders and walked towards the player's passage, while waved at Bati, "I hope you can all go well in Inter Milan, Master Gabriel."

"So too, Christian." Bati sighed after watching Vieri's figure disappear into the passage, and walked towards the visiting team's locker room with Inter Milan's teammates.

The home defeat of Inter Milan allowed Fiorentina fans to spend a happy weekend. Now Purple Lily leads the league standings with eight wins, one draw and one loss. Teams such as Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan and Lazio have been tied for a certain distance by Fiorentina.

Next, Fiorentina ushered in the European Champions League match.

On November 25, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Fiorentina faced Athletic Bilbao at home.

Although the main players consumed a lot of money in the battle with Inter Milan last weekend, several main players, including Effenberg and Carlos, were all banned from appearing in this game by experts at the physiotherapy center due to physical fatigue, Fiorentina, who sent a large number of substitutes, still defeated the Basque Lions at home 2-0, qualifying for a group!

Both goals from Fiorentina's goals were from the frontcourt. Pirlo took advantage of a free kick in the frontcourt in the 21st minute and scored a first-time record with a wonderful elevator ball; Inzagi took advantage of a corner kick off the front header to score, helping Fiorentina secure the victory!

In another Group B group match that was held at the same time, Eindhoven, who played away, was beaten up by Rosenberg, who had the advantage of home in Norway's ice and snow, and eventually lost the showdown one-to-three.

Therefore, after winning this victory, Fiorentina, which had already achieved four wins and one draw in five group matches, secured 13 points, secured the top spot in Group B in advance, and Athletic Bilbao, which had only three points in five games, was eliminated one round ahead of schedule, which surprised many fans - people originally thought that the first to be eliminated from this group would be Rosenberg, a team with almost no well-known stars, but they did not expect that the runner-up of La Liga last season was eliminated first.

In fact, this phenomenon occurs mainly because the league environments of Rosenberg and Athletic Bilbao are in different. Even if the former is distracted by European competitions, he can still maintain a strong position in the league; while the latter is not like this. If they dare to only use substitutes in the league and allow all the main players to concentrate on playing the Champions League, the final result is likely to be that the Basque Lions will be relegated sadly after the end of the season.

Therefore, another qualifying spot in Group B will be born among two teams, Rosenberg and Eindhoven. Currently, the Dutch giants beat Norwegian overlords with two wins, one draw and two losses, but Rosenberg is only one point behind Eindhoven. If Robson is careless in the last round of the game against Bilbao, he is likely to be overtaken by Rosenberg in the standings after the final round of the group stage.
