Chapter 905 Before the decisive battle
PS: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~
At this stage of the league, except for the die-hard fans of Florence, other fans still hope to see the championship competition be more intense and intense. After all, no matter how strong Florence is or how wonderful the playing style is, how many well-known stars in the team always see a team win the championship trophy, it will still make people feel aesthetically tired.
Now, Lazio, who is chasing Fiorentina in the league standings this season, has shown people the hope of overturning the Purple Lily's five-year domination of the Serie A champion!
Because the Blue Eagles were entangled with Purple Lily in the league field and successfully met with Fiorentina in the Italian Cup, they now have the opportunity to compete with Fiorentina for two championship trophys. Such an outstanding performance is enough to make Lazio the most popular club in Italian football this season besides Fiorentina!
If it weren't for being killed by Valencia in the Champions League, and finally being eliminated by his opponent with a total score of 2-5, then the Blue Eagles would have a great chance of taking advantage of this opportunity to jump from a Serie A giant to a giant club.
It can be said that the results in the European arena largely determine whether a club should be considered a giant or a strong team: no matter how glorious a strong team is in the country, it will never be able to show a convincing record in the European arena; while the giants are different. Even if they are temporarily suppressed by other teams in the league, they are still well-deserved protagonists in the European arena!
Why was Sampdoria in the old Mantovani era regarded as a new wealthy family, rather than being regarded as a powerful team like Parma at that time? Isn’t it because the Aquarium Legion made remarkable achievements in the European competitions in those years (a Winners Cup champion, a Winners Cup runner-up and a Championship Cup runner-up). Otherwise, Sampdoria would not have been recognized by people by relying solely on the Serie A championship!
Therefore, although Lazio has achieved enough eye-catching results this season, no one still thinks that the Blue Eagles can be regarded as a giant club, and can only be regarded as a domestic strongman with the ability and is still far from the level of the giants.
Of course, this standard is not absolute. The historical heritage of a team, the number of fans and the popularity of the club also determines whether they can be sublimated to the level of a giant.
The words are too far, so let's get back to the point. After seeing that the team's lead in the league was narrowed to only three points by Lazio, Fiorentine fans couldn't help but become nervous. They didn't want to see the team they supported by Lazio successfully turn the tables at the last moment and throw away the league championship that was already in hand!
If Lazio really accomplished this feat, then Fiorentina, which once led the second place by fifteen points in the middle of the season, will undoubtedly be kept in mind in the history of Italian football because of Lazio's magical reversal, and it will be a loser! Such a scene is naturally something that Fiorentina fans are unwilling to accept.
Therefore, the result of not ensuring the league championship was naturally unhappy for the fans. Tordo, who made many mistakes in the match against Inter Milan, became the target of public criticism after the game. Many Fiorentine fans said in an interview with the media after the game that this meritorious goalkeeper who lie on the credit card has "can no longer provide Fiorentina with the motivation to continue moving forward"!
However, in the face of such a situation, the atmosphere inside Florence is still quite good. Except for Tordo's a little awkward, others did not have any discordant things because of these criticisms from the outside world. After all, Florence still has three points advantage in his hands. As long as he does not lose to Barri in the last round, the league championship trophy is definitely the one in Purple Lily's pocket!
At the same time, in order to ensure that the players can have a quiet preparation environment, Zhuang Mingge arranged for Antonioni, who has a very high reputation among the Fiorentine fans to hold a brief press conference, calling on the fans to stay calm and not to add additional pressure and psychological burden to the players at this critical moment.
Seeing the club make such a statement, Fiorentina fans showed great qualities and expressed their willingness to cooperate with the team's work and strive to create a quiet space for players to prepare, and will not continue to blame a player because of past games, thereby adding unnecessary trouble to the team.
Therefore, with the sudden reduction of external pressure, the Fiorentine players who were rarely quiet for a while began to prepare for the last league of the season under the guidance of the coaching staff, striving to repay the fans who have always supported them with a Serie A championship trophy, and end this unhappy season by the way!
Of course, for Fiorentine players, this so-called unhappiness only refers to the league battlefield. In the two arenas of the Champions League and the Italian Cup, Fiorentine's performance is still commendable. After all, there are not many teams that have the ability to defeat Chelsea and Barcelona in the knockout stage. So far, there are only Fiorentine's only teams that can convince Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium!
Perhaps, it is precisely because the Fiorentine players have invested too much energy on the other two fronts this season that the huge advantages they have accumulated on the league are shrinking. When the teams entered the sprint stage and began to exert their respective goals, Zi Lily, who was inconsistent but had to deal with the third-line battle, fell into an embarrassing situation of four draws and two losses in the last seven rounds of the league and only won one victory!
The reason why Fiorentina faces such a situation naturally has a lot to do with Heinquez, the new head coach. Since it was the first time to coach in Italy, the German coach needed to adapt to this new environment, which caused him to fail to implement the rotation tactics of Capello and Ranieri during the period. In addition, the two generals Nesta and Ronaldo fell into a long-term recovery state, which ultimately led to the current result.
Although Zhuang Mingge and others did not say anything about this, Heinx, who was extremely responsible, felt a lot of pressure. After all, bringing the team to this point is inseparable from him. Therefore, after the draw with Inter Milan, Heinx worked hard and prepared to use a big victory to end the team's journey in the league!
Chapter completed!
